Pahat Pojat 7:49 Cortana. Naked Eli, go beat him again.


I just read the last 15 pages of posts. I want to say: Awesome job Dark and Gazas on Mythic CLASO; thanks Tyrant for hosting SMRC; and thanks Bungie for the recon.

Yet I question, is it worth trying to beat Pahat again? Of course, the answer is yes. The rush, the euphoric feeling of toppling his records, is unparalleled. Cortana will be mine :-) It isn't about the glory... it's about my personal challenge to own a SLASO level as my own and show that Pahat is not untouchable.

All right, so that comes to a current total of 23 conquerors with Recon, and 11 without, or they don't wear it and have said nothing saying that they have Recon, so there are possibly more. *Sigh* Well, me and Play Doh are still stuck on the Storm, any advice on how to get past the Hunter's, we are having TOO much trouble defeating this mission. I don't know why, but we are.

Have you tried both bringing a missile pod from the Scarab lakebed along with both of you carting a Rocket Launcher? Make those suckers assplode.
It could work like this:
Lt Play Doh - Dual Plasma Pistols, Rockets and Missile Pod
chris101b - Dual Plasma Pistols, Rockets and Missile Pod

You won't need to worry about BR ammo as there's plenty inside the warehouse. Good luck.

Well the thing is that I take out the Scarab kamikaze, I use the grav lift to launch up to the scarab right after it lands on the ground and then plasma pistol the first brute shot brute and then head shot him. Then I just stand on the top of the scarab and take out the other enemies one by one as they approach. So for that battle, I need a plasma pistol and a BR. Usually I have Play Doh stay back and triple wield plasma pistols while I take out the scarab. Also, I throw off the plasma pistols and the plasma cannons off the scarab (makes it so that they do not despawn). So in the end we usually have 4 to 6 plasma pistols, two plasma cannons, and then a full rocket with a little extra ammo picked up from the dead marines. This is definately enough to get us through the brute battle, but we are usually low by the time we get to the hunters. I may try next time to use the rockets and try to kill them. Play doh has been trying, but one of us usually dies.

Also, for anyone that wants to know, I found out that if you are on the scarab and low on shields, you can melee the scarab and get your shields back. I don't think that this works on the entire scarab, but I do know that it works on the very top of the scarab and inside the scarab. There is a column down there that you can melee.

How good is the missle pod against hunters? We usually use the missile pod ammo to speed up the AA wraith section. How many does it take to kill one?

Rockets are more effective, yet bringing two Missile Pods would provide you with 16 more explosives which should be enough to safely bring 1 and possibly both of the Hunters down. Even if you only kill one, you can then use a Spiker to safely kill the second Hunter. Simply have one player distract him while the other gets behind and spikes him, he'll twitch like a leaf in a windstorm although it takes a while to actually kill him.

The weapons despawn though when you move from the scarab area to the brutes. So you can only bring 2 turrets. Wouldn't the plasma cannons from the scarab be more effective than the missile pod? You can use the plasma cannon to take down most of the brutes in that area. It seems more essential to bring a plasma cannon than a missile pod.

Bring one of each? I'd have thought that 4 plasma pistols would have been enough, but then again I could be wrong. :-/

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!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

We usually like to keep a margin for error. Once your out of plasma pistol ammo, the battle becomes twice as hard.

Fair enough, although if you don't have an answer to the Hunters it's just as hard. Maybe you should try mixing things up a little and see what you can work out.

Well me and Dark were quite afraid of death so give it a watch.

The awards are really cool indeed.

When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

Apparently Gazas has a method for the hunters involving brute shot melees. I've yet to check out the film myself from his and Dark's CLASO run but that may be good to check out.

33rd Mythic conqueror (Campaign Solo Legendary All Skulls On)

Yeah, I watched the film and I am going to try a solo run using that method. See how well I do.

  • 08.28.2009 7:08 AM PDT

Personally, I would use that as a last resort.

You know how you can prevent despawning? give plasma pistols and whatnot to the marines before they go inside, then you can just grab an AR from one of the crates and trade it out for the Plasma Pistol. Should let you bring a couple extras. Just a thought.

That's quite smart, that's why I sometimes give Arbiter a Missile Pod so he'll drop it when he pulls his Sword out so I can use it for a bit.

Speaking of it, has anyone tried giving it to him instead of a Rocket Launcher? The shots seek to the Brute when Arbiter uses it. So awesome.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

I tried it... I was playing without Iron. He killed me a couple times, he killed himself a bit, and as soon as his shields break, he drops it and whips out his sword. Then you have to give it to him again, which is more difficult than giving him a rocket launcher.

I suppose if you ended up without a rocket launcher, you could give it to him, but only as a last resort.

We actually do that. In fact, one run we had 6 plasma pistols, 2 plasma cannons, and about 10 rockets. Of course, the marines decided to misplace grenades at our feet.

I think we are unlucky more than anything. Marines splattering us, marines grenading us, grunts with amazing plasma grenade aim, invincible brutes... it has been great. We have been even confusing what we did with previous runs (Did you take the bubble shield? - I think so. Or maybe that was last time.) We have a plan that can work, but we just haven't been able to put it together.

He actually killed you with it? You're not supposed to get in front of him you know.

And to avoid seeing him get killed, help him out. I always fail when I just watch Arbiter do his thing.
