Congrats Dark!!! I had no doubt in my mind you could do it. Can't wait to watch the vid!
And your experience reminds me, I still don't know what triggers the pelican at the end, and i havent found anyone who does. Whether it's kills, time, or has anything to do w/ how you get to Johnson or w/e, it would b great if someone could do some test runs and enlighten us. I'd do it but my xbox is far, far away...
Thank you Eli. I knew it could be done, just doing it was challenging.
The pre-dam area could still be improved upon. My one was embarrasing to be honest. I practiced it Brute Shotting of the Arbiters head because he would normally just stand there, and doing this meant I could be a tad more reckless in the previous area because shields didn't matter. I also practiced with Frag Grenades, but these were never successful.
But in my successful run, the Arbiter ran off. So I attempted to chase him down and bring him back. But after a few seconds, I realised he wasn't going to return. So I had to do the jump with a Plasma Grenade + Brute Shot. Which worked well, surprisingly. However, it's still a few wasted seconds, and every second counts.
Then, the dreaded Sniper, who I didn't kill because it would've wasted time. Normally he fires two shots which both miss straight away. Giving me the chance to run instantly. However he didn't do this, so I tried to get him to shoot. Impaitently, I ran anyway after a few seconds. However, this wasted time because if he had shot straight away, I could've ran straight away.
And then the dam, normally the Pelican arrives in 2-3 minutes. However this time, it took 4. Which was painfully slow for me.
If I were to re-run this and try to perfect it, it could go sub-10. This run was slow from the pre-dam onwards. If someone wants something to do; find out what triggers the Pelican to come.
I may do it again in the near future, being a perfectionist has its flaws you know. But for now, Pahat doesn't have an xbox, so I suppose the record will stand. If Pahat does the run again, I'll be happy because I know the run wont get much faster, which is the aim of speedruns. I want the mission to be done in the fastest time possible.
