The snipers, eh? Do you remember how Starocean did that part? Plasma Pistol works pretty well.

The first time I got to that part, I didn't kill either of them with it because they both came down to the lower level. I killed them both with the BR.

The second time I killed one off with the Plasma Pistol and the other came down to the lower floor where I killed him with the BR.

You have to inch forward enough that you can see the Jackals legs and just keep firing the Plasma Pistol at it.

Its ok, I dont need anymore advice. Because; Crow's Nest completed!

Hmm...looks like the only way I can catch up is if I complete the Ark first. The Covenant will just be a cakewalk compared to it, and I've already got some good experience in.

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

Nice work! You only have one level left! FYI, I tested the Chieftain cure further and it doesnt work. He still used his invincibility and activated the glitch. I need to find another method for the walkthrough. Open to suggestions.

I like the Ark. The only hard bits are the last areas and the first. The rest is mostly Vehicle Fights.

Once I complete The Ark, I'm going to re-arrange my File Share so all my video's are in order.

  • 08.31.2008 12:21 PM PDT

I like the Ark too. Like I mentioned earlier in the topic, the only thing that has killed me after the Prowlers show up are Grunts driving Ghosts. The Hunters aren't that bad now that I know how to lure them where I want them.

I would provide advice, but I have no idea what the answer is, sorry. But hopefully I should get started tommorow.

It's not that they're proving much trouble. Just the fact that they're the sole cause of my defeat in the event I lose track of their location or get ambushed.

Just for info, there's a Rocket Launcher by the downed Pelican. That might come in handy?

  • 08.31.2008 1:06 PM PDT

Only if you have Marines...the most I've ever had alive with me at that point was one. Just over the hill there are two parked Choppers and one parked Ghost. The Rocket Launcher seems to come with 3 shots. I usually spend the rockets on the parked vehicles so I don't have to deal with them. It really all depends on how many Marines I have and the status of my shields. I'm not sure how many rockets a Chopper or Ghost can take from an AI and survive, but that area seems to me like it would be far more dangerous with five enemies driving around than two.

I can imagine getting Marines through would be really hard. Its also best to learn with the bare minimum, like no help etc. So when it comes to the real thing, if you get extra help it would be great.

I've decided to take a break from The Covenant walkthrough for now and work on The Crows Nest. Funny thing is that the level itself is fairly simple, but the sheer number of glitches it contains makes it very difficult to paint a solid plan of action for the people who are new to SLASO. It still surprises and disappoints me that Bungie would allow for these sorts of things slip through the cracks in their "polishing" phase.

Feet first into heck!!!

A red ring of death just happened guys... Looks like I wont be playing for SLASO for a while ; (
And I have to pay $100 doll hairs to get it fixed to, since it is only 1 red light not 3.

  • 08.31.2008 7:07 PM PDT

Doll hairs? You mean dollars?

That's...a joke, right?

You know what 1 ring means? You're Xbox overheated. Nothing bad, no need to get it repaired. Mine overheated about 50 times playing GTA IV.

I managed to knock both Hunter's of the edge. It made the rest a lot easier. But i went on to get killed by the Marines.

I think only two people have done it, (I wonder if they got recon for it, that would be a reward they are more than worthy of), but It must be absurdly difficult. I could not do it on easy with all the skulls on, because I did not have the patience to redo the entire level every time I died.


It says above NO armour is unlocked just for beating the game on S.L.A.S.O.

The rest of the people and here as well as myself are fully aware of that. Otherwise, I'd have an extra set of armor right now.

The people who have completed SLASO should get something, at least recognition from Bungie in some way. And I just died after I jacked the Chopper :(

I've pretty much got the first fight perfected now. Just need to work on the second one.

Well, every time I try to play a game not played of my HDD, it freezes, and I get a red light. Either that or right when it starts up it just goes to an error screen... more specifically error screen E71. So I don't really have a choice.

And yes Vincent K, Doll Hairs = Bad refrence to Dumb and Dumberer.

You can just skip it, that fight is way too risky, espescially if you can't kill all the other Brutes and Grunts.
