I could do with some help with level.

The war chieftan at the end of tower 2, how can I get close? I use the surrounding to move closer but he still gets me, even if im on full health.

Also is there a good way of killing him if you have already hit him with an overcharged plasma shot?

Thanks in advance.

The 1.0 guides tells you to save your laser up till this point and 1-2 shots should kill him. If you've already spent the laser, I would suggest practicing sneaking your way up to him, hitting him with a charged PP, then assasinate him. Might want to try this without Iron on to practice.

I usually save the invisibility until this point and then assassinate him.

i usually use the sparten laser but on my contest run i lost it before i got on the hornet by accident and i manged to get up close and personal if you charge a pp shot from behind the class he should dodge to the left then run up the right side and across the back and that should do the trick or even when you get to the last piller on the right side fire another pp and hope he dives to the left again and tht should give u plenty of time to get 2 him :D hope this helps

If we accidently send you the exact same file twice, will we be disqualified? I tried going back to the message and refreshed the page to see if I formatted the url correctly. I'm not sure whether or not it resent the message.

Also, I completed all of the previous challenges and didn't get the medals on my halocharts page for any of them. Is this a sign I'm doing something wrong?

Me and my ODST we are our own breed, forged from combat and bread from years of battle as ODST. So you can take your -blam!- ODST clan invites and shove 'em. Rookies don't run jack, we do.

I really wish people would go back and read what has been posted before in this exact same forum. But to answer your questions:

1.Tyrant is pretty lenient when it comes to submissions. You should be fine.
2. Halocharts is completely separate from this competition. You got problems there probably means you need to talk to them

When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

As suggested, it's probably easiest to just use the Splaser. That's how I did it, and if you want to check out the film for my run it's in my fileshare. There's a couple points where I did something a little different from the guide. For the Scarabs I did a mix between the kamikaze and slow n steady methods, and it seemed to work pretty well, and I also gave at least one brute shot to one of the red elites before the hunters on tower 3. The brute shot seems to be fairly effective in the hands of an AI...

D'oh. As soon as the combat forms crashed into Tower Three, I got killed by 1 Assault Rifle bullet. @_@ I'm debating whether to go through another hour or 2 to do this challenge.

There's only a few hours left you might as well give it another shot.

Can we get a head count for The Covanent?

Thank you everyone who replied to my post but I ran out of time :(

Thank you anyway.

Nah. The guys in charge of the campaign challenges on HaloCharts are really behind on updating people's player pages. They have to do it manually so be patient.

Clan @ Out of Reality

Damn dirty disk... I had to complete Cortana three times. An error popped up after the ending cinematics, after which I found myself at dashboard >_<. Oh well, I'm happy this didn't happen with The Covenant and will certainly keep the disk clean during the last three challenges.

Speaking of The Covenant, it took me almost two and half hours when I finally managed to finish the mission :D. When both of the scarabs were down I decided to take it super slow and super steady, spending at least 45 minutes (I should check the exact time) in Citadel. It paid off, though I almost got myself killed. Had some luck on my side, I guess.

  • 07.17.2009 4:24 PM PDT

Cortana isn't quite as hard as The Covenant, is it? As long as I remember to stay away from those Flood with Assault Rifles. @_@

Play it, love it, rate it.

I have a slight issue with the mythic challenges. Every time I play them, wierd things happen that prevent me from completing them.(i.e. dying from meleeing a transforming flood, warhog never appearing on the beach in The Covenant, meleed from 20 feet away, and other similar situations). Are these supposed to happen as part of the challenge, or is this some sort of bug?

Never heard of a non-spwning hog on the Covenant but the other stuff sounds all too familiar. Some is probably bug related, others are probably just Mythic.

Yeah Mythic is random like that. Some of the biggest heartache comes from this difficulty.
