Sounds very intense.. I will be attempting this however.

So, if we end up dying, can we hit "restart mission" and from there on it is legit again?

Sounds like fun, you can count me in.

Also, I have a couple questions for you.

Will you be filling us in on what's new via this thread or will we see more posts on the Bungie Blog?

Will there be any type of board where one can view the amount of submissions for each week?
- If so, I would love to see the top score and time for each week.

Thanks for the wonderful contest! Looking forward to it.

I believe entry into the bonus raffle is granted upon completing all competitions as they arise, or completing the campaign on Mythic Difficulty before the 14th June, in order to gain a "safe seat".

P.S. Thanks for clearing up my question Tyrant.

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,

I'm assuming the answer to this is probably going to be no but, I'll ask anyway:

I'm going to be xbox-less for probably the first 3 challenges. Chances lost there. If I completed the requirements for these challenges after this, as well as the other 6 levels as they come, would I still be elligable for the 10th bonus round?

I've been meaning to complete a few more levels on Mythic for a while, only done Halo and Floodgate atm, so this is a good excuse. But given the difficulty, I had always assumed I would do Legendary no-shot before hand. Looks like this competition might switch things up :)

Gonna have to look up Pahis' runs in the meantime :D


Unfortunately no. The only two ways to gain access to the 10th Raffle is to either become a Conqueror between now and the 14th, or complete all nine challenges as they come. I hope you get your box back sooner, dude.

There will be a Blog entry for each individual competition to fill you in on the specifics. Figured if I did it now and left well enough alone, people would forget :-P I won't be revealing any specifics on a regular basis, but if you check inside the Official Mythic DIfficulty thread, conversation on the matter will be buzzing. You may find the information you seek :-)

Answering the poster who asked about restarting missions--yes that is fine.

Crank it to maximum difficulty to take home the ultimate prize!

Can you die, or get killed, and it still be fair game? And if not would it be fair game to restart the mission, or quit the mission and start again?

P.S.: Is it the 9 main achievement skulls or the 9 plus the 4 extra skulls?

So after we finish the level we have to go into theatre and record the whole level has a clip?

Read the Mythic Thread in the Halo 3 forum. It's stickied on the side. I highly suggest you read up on what Mythic Difficulty is before attempting any of the challenges.

Thought that would be the answer, ah well.

I'll just have to try my luck with the last 6 when I get back home for the summer.

Do you know what the Iron skull does?

"Anyone can give up it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength."

For the challenge, if you die and restart the level. Can you just go ahead and keep going for another try? or do you have to end game + start a new one?

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

How do we show that we are participating? I understand that we put the stuff i our fileshare; however how will you know who has put films up? Are we supposed to tag them with a special word?

Hello Tyrant, I need just one clarification on this,

You have said that you cannot die, which is obvious since the Iron skull makes you restart completely. Now I was wondering, let's say I do die halfway through and it restarts, do I keep going without exiting the game to the lobby? Or do I exit to the lobby and restart from the beginning. Either way I am starting at the beginning but I'm wondering if I must completely exit out in order for the Film not to be extremely long (if I did die later in the mission).

So basically, should we quit out so the Film we use is just one run? Or do we stay in and have deaths in the film even if we make it through to the end after a death?

Thank you


I like intelligent questions. THIS is one of them.

The answer is, it's up to you. It will show up the same way in your game stats, but if you want to show off your uber cool films to your friends, odds are they aren't going to want to watch you die 11 times in a row before they get to the good stuff, if you know what I mean ;-)

You just have to be a Mythic Conqueror. Beat the game on the Mythic Difficulty before the 10th Raffle and you gain a "safe seat" for the Bonus round.

Hey, it's amazing how far people will go to get Recon, even when it is being released in 4-5 months, but what the hey, I'll give it a shot :) Just out of curiosity, am I ineligible for these contests? I mean I haven't been EXP banned, fileshare banned or forum banned, but I'm just not sure. And it's great how many sets of armour bungie is putting out, and it is a great way for them to keep the numbers up so that they can trumpet their success for a few more weekly updates :) Nice work Bungie. Still, Mythic Difficulty is really hard...

Not exactly :-)

I'll say this again before asking Urk to post my Q&A in the OP, at which point I will ignore the cries of the illiterate. lol. If you become a Conqueror between now and the 14th, you will gain a Safe Seat in the 10th Raffle. The only other way to get into the final raffle is by beating all nine challenges as they come.

one last question, to get the safe seat i need to have all the films in my fileshare, right? i have bungie pro so it shouldn't be a problem. P.S. what do we tag our videos for the 10th raffle as?
