let me see if im correct. 1. do the mission in the correct time frame on mythic difficulty. 2. upload it to your fileshare. 3. hyperlink the entry. but my question is what do we do after that?

After doing all of that, all we do is wait until the end of the week when the raffle will take place. Good luck!

Floodgate on mythic was unpredictable at times. It took me quite a few attempts with no success. I Finally found a strategy that worked best for me. A mix of speed running and moments of pure fear. If you can, use the elites to your advantage, they do help if you are quick enough. The hardest part is at the end of the level, one of the games I played I actually died at the top of the crater. (doh!!) Be careful......and good luck
Conserve BR ammo.
Use the (B) melee with the hammer to conserve juice.
Utilize the elites after the 1st cut-scene.

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!

(My only other advice to all participants is to be careful what you write on this thread. I discovered yesterday that this is not just a relaxed informal conversation; you have to be careful how you word things. I followed the rules perfectly, 100% to the letter. But I may have broken an unwritten rule. I stayed up most of last night watching this thread hoping to find out one way or the other and I've been watching it all day so far. But at this present time I still do not know whether or not I'm going to be disqualified or to what extent it will count against me.)


It was just a warning. You're fine.

Why do we generally take it so seriously? Occasionally, we have people come into the main thread and brag about how they smashed through the entire campaign on Mythic, exclaim how easy it was, and then don't have a shred of evidence to back it up.

Now, as someone who has beaten Mythic multiple times, I can tell you that I have an immense amount of respect for the players that actually do complete the campaign on Mythic. These players defied the odds and devoted weeks (some even months) of their personal time to do something that a great portion of the community either can't or won't do for one reason or another. Usually because they think it's too difficult when really it just takes a little patience and careful planning. In short, their laziness gets the best of them. Heck, the original seven didn't even have a walkthrough to help guide them. So when someone comes along and tries to claim something that isn't true, something that many others worked hard to achieve, we take it personally.

Since many of you in this thread alone have already started embarking on your own quest, I'm sure you can relate since you worked hard to make it through your first mission on Mythic, and you should be proud of yourselves.

Thank the gods!

I share your respect for anybody who has completed any mission on Mythic difficulty. IMHO completing the campaign SLASO is almost impossible. The majority those who play Halo 3 will never attempt it. For the few who do, it's so difficult that many will either never succeed or give up and move on to something else.

I've already created my thread in the forum of The Quest for SLASO group, to introduce myself and record my progress in the quest for the Holy Grail of Halo 3.

May I raise a question about the next challenge, Mythic Halo? Can we utilise more unorthodox short-cuts, or could that count against us? In particular, trying not to make it too obvious what I mean just in case, what if we cross paths with the sergeant along the way? The spartan laser can be useful more than once in the mission. (Please accept my apologies if it's too early for a question about the second challange. I'll delete this paragraph later.)


Feel free. It's even illustrated in the 2.0 Guide on how to pull it off with relative ease.

Excellent -- this will be fun!

I absolutely love this competition.

Before this was posted, I had already begun completing (or trying to complete) many of the campaign levels on mythic difficulty. This competition is the push needed to keep me from giving up. I've beaten floodgate and halo already, and beat tsavo highway while xbl was off yesterday (plan on beating it again with stats sometime soon). I am a little sad to see that I will be on vacation during my favorite 2 levels, though. Tsavo Highway and The Storm are both challenging but beatable, which keeps me coming back to play them over and over.

Good luck to all involved - mythic campaign is a lot of fun. I'd also suggest to anyone that loves campaign the way I do to go to halocharts.com and check out their campaign challenge awards. Though it is no where near as hard as mythic, it's still a fun way to experience the halo 3 campaign.

Then it's probably safe to assume you were blocked for one reason or another.

Just wondering, is taking advantage of glitches allowed during our Mythic quests? Like on Floodgate, are we allowed to jump on top of the level at the end? Or on Halo, are we allowed to take the shortcut from the bottom? This will definitely cheapen our victory, but it would be good to know before one gets banned from the competition for "cheating" as some call it.

Nope. Not against the rules. Really the only "glitch" I'm against is using the Save & Quit method to cheat your way through Mythic. Of course, since you have to have Scoring on to succeed in Mythic, people can no longer use that method.

Dates for all challenges are listed in the rules. You know, those little things that I continously stress to people to read thoroughly ;-)
