Great work dude. But I think you will really struggle on Tsavo Highway.


Thanks :-)

From what I've seen, there's a shortcut around the big Brute battle just after the bridge.



Actually there is just grab a chopper and drive past all the brutes/marines/jackals and it loads the next checkpoint i did it a couple days/weeks ago with my cousin on legendary

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Sweet!

Uh, with slaso, wouldn't checkpoints become useless since if you die, it restarts the whole level?

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

19 minutes on Cortana, with Cortana talking and gravemind talking, doesn't it take longer than that just to RUN through?

[EDIT]
I play alot of campaign also, I have 3 full pages of campaign games, going on to forth soon, and I've been through the entire legendary campaign 4 times.

It really doesn't. Even the Covenant can be done in 20 minutes. Not on Legendary, mind you, but it can be done.

With Cortana, the major areas (i.e. Pelican Hill, Hive, Reactor Room) are very close together, and as long as you don't stop to fight, it can be done. Like I said, the shortest is roughly ten minutes (not by me). I'll see if I can find a link to the game.

EDIT:

Pahat, one of the two people who has completed the entire campaign SLASO style, managed to do it in 13 minutes. Here's the url:

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsCampaignHalo3.aspx?gamei d=48068261&player=Pahat%20Pojat

I belive someone else has just over ten minutes.

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

I believe it is actually Solo Legendary All Skulls On.
Not Single Player as that is kind of implied.

i belive the cutscenes (gravemind, cortana, etc) are not part of the timing processes. nothing can attack you either. it seems like a type of cutscene. just my two centz

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

Yeah, I just did a quick run through on EASY to see the fastest time someone could actually get, and just waiting for it to upload.

The fastest, unless there is some shortcut I dont know about that is.

It's up and it only took 9 minutes, 39 seconds.
Cortana, Easy

Yeah...you can sneak the brutes/wraith fight with the big pipes on the ground...just kill the first brute and grunts, grab the sniper from above them on the overpass...then run along the right behind the pipes...as long as they don't get you from behind, if you make it around the curve to almost the first floating sniper platform you'll be past them. Then it's just choppers all the way.

Yes, that's correct...Solo. As coined by the famous mime SonicJohn. Oh, wait, I meant "meme". :-D AKA "That Halo 2 Guy (tm)"

Yep. As I said, I may have done it on SLASO, but there's still room for improvement.

EDIT:

The reactor room is what held me up. Getting Cortana was easy, but after that you're way too out in the open and the ranged Flood are stationed everywhere. On the second half of that area i took my time a little bit more. Being that's near the end of the level, it was rather painful to have to start all over after being hit by a random brute shot or ranged form.

good luck only 2 peeps have done it so far per the last update it was mentioned.

Whoever said Sierra 117 wasn't that bad SLASO didn't have to deal with the jackal snipers. They were the worst part of the entire level...besides the boss at the end. Good luck to all that try it. Time is not on your side when attempting this. Expect to lose many hours of daylight.

The Outstanding Standout

I've done Floodgate. Tried Sierra 117 and got halfway through before I got stupid and died. Haven't really tried Cortana, but I have tried every other one. The hardest for me was The Ark.

at least those jackals weren't as magically accurate as they were in halo 2. regret on legendary still gives me the shivers.

Yeah, they were practically "un-killable" in Halo 2. Now, they're annoying as hell with all the skulls on. I had to start over so many times because of them.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

Ever since the statistic came out on the Weekly Update, SLASO has been all the craze. There've been a few more people who have completed it. The guy who originally started the fad and was one of the first two to do agreed to start up a group wth myself focused around SLASO. It's in my signature if you're interested.

They were horrible. On Lendary, even Grunts could absorb multiple shots from the beam rifle. But the Chief, icon of the series, dies from a single hit no matter where the beam hits.
