Hey everyone, I don't believe i've posted since SMRC but I'm glad to see the forum still going strong! I just bought ODST and am starting to practice SLASO, doesn't look difficult compared to Halo 3...
As for cool Halo 3 campaigning though, I've noticed that all levels have been done Zero Shot except for the three hardest: Sierra, Crow's, and Ark. Each level has a couple problem areas:
SIERRA 117: sniper forest + next area "c'mon you dumb apes!"
CROW'S NEST: drones
THE ARK: AA Wraith part and final brute battle
I just think it would be awesome to be ZERO SHOT CONQUERORS in addition to Mythic. Like "yes, I beat the whole Halo 3 campaign on Legendary without firing a weapon. I am a BAMF"
But I need your help on these missions!!! I know we can figure it out as the world's best campaign players.
Do grenades count?
Also; account back up.Shouldn't count. That would defeat the pacifist purpose.
Zero Shot requirements: Legendary, no deaths, no weapons allowed except Sword and Gravity Hammer; can melee and throw grenades; can use equipment; can splatter; can have gunners in vehicles that kill things (but no shooting from vehicles yourself like ghost or tank).
Its actually a lot of fun to try to beat levels this way, and I always love the challenge. Floodgate and Halo are super easy, The Storm and Tsavo Highway and Cortana are not terribly difficult, and The Covenant is a fun challenge but I think is very doable (watch video in my fileshare).
I have tried Sierra and I have a question on the sniper forest. The jackals take out Arby pretty fast b/c a sniper takes out his shields and a carbiner shoots him in the head. What causes Arbiter to wake up? Do you need to advance more, kill more jackals, or is it purely time based? One person in an HIH forum suggested giving Arbiter a Beam Rifle, has anyone tried that with success? As for the "c'mon you dumb apes" section afterward, someone in HIH suggested doing a slide jump across and using the bubble shield to avoid sniper fire while you skip through the enemies and head through the cave. Anyone been able to achieve this with success?
EDIT: to the pacifist reply, I want to clarify that Zero Shot is distinct from Pacifist. In ZS you can kill as many things as you like, in pacifist you cannot kill anything or use any weapon or use equipment or have gunners in your vehicles...its basically just running. It is impossible to beat levels on pacifist like the Covenant where you have to kill Chieftains and Scarabs to proceed (unless someone can find a glitch around them).
I'm not a Mythic player, but I love Legendary strategies.
Arbiter will only get up if you kill all of the closer enemies (the ones near him) or if you advance far enough that he will respawn (he should fade out of Active Camo).
Giving him the Beam Rifle won't work since he won't use it. He can use it, but I've tested this only with Carrier Forms on the back of a Mongoose.
Well, there are glitches that allow you to skip the Scarab fights. On The Storm, you can unload the Scarab by using the Mongoose clipping method or the Scarab Boarding Glitch. On The Covenant, do the Time Travel glitch. I don't have anything for the Chieftains however. So yes, pacifist on The Covenant is impossible.
