The quest never ends until it ends.

I wish I knew of this challenge earlier. I would have done my best effort to get into that Conqueror's draw for sure. For some reason, the Pelican decides to turn extremely early in my run-throughs, so I'm having trouble getting on the Pelican. Any tips?

I had the same problem. It happened to me once or twice but that's when I was practicing on easy. I advise the same. But I would go up the elevator and be right next to the door and run out as soon as it opened and try to jump on it and the woman was still talking but it left anyway. But I just finished my run on mythic and it I got on fine so it could be just a random mishap. Keep trying though man. Like I said practice on easy.

Yea, I did a few runs on Easy much earlier today. I put myself right on that door, but almost as soon as Keyes finishes saying" Lieutenant, shake 'em off!" the Pelican decides to turn away.

Has a winner been announced for Sierra?

Hmm I don't know what to tell you there man. Keep trying. You'll get it. If you can't just try the other method. You only got 1 day left so you better hurry. Also I believe the winner has been announced for Sierra already.

No, but all this talk about the conqueror's draw is making me wonder whether I should've tortured myself into staying up late and jet lagged to complete Sierra rather than just going to sleep.

Kudos to anybody who is still in the conquerer's draw and went on at least a week and a half vacation.

But anyway, Storm Shark, if you consistently miss the jump despite having practiced on Easy, your other option is stock piling weapons in the elevator. That works consistently. Takes a bit more time, but I used it and completed the level faster than Tyrant did in the 2.0 video.

Yeah, I'll be sure to do that, then see if jumping fails... then frantically rush over back to the elevator if I miss the jump haha.

Arming Arby with the plasma cannon is also a good idea regardless, I can't remember if Tyrant did that in his video.

I don't remember him arming him with it. I just remember him rushing to the elevator, activating it as soon as it opened, then rushing to the Pelican as soon as it reopened.

Even if he didn't, it probably would reduce the chance of Arby dying since he likes to hang back with the plasma cannon. Unless you have to hurry to the elevator to get on the pelican.

But what do I know? I used 1.0.

I received my Halo 3 Recon armor on 8-3-09 for completing Sierra 117 on Mythic Difficulty through the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge.

I used 1.0 as well WITHOUT giving the Arbiter the plasma cannon and I did fine. It took me 5 days of practice and trial and error though, it certainly was a tough mission for me.

Keep at it you have about 12 hours left!

Hmm. It's been a week since I submitted my Mythic Sierrra 117 to HaloCharts, and still no medal.

Give it time. They have a lot on their plate. Also if your that worried about it go to their forums and theirs a thread pertaining to those problems. Don't ask here because this is just for discussion for the contest. Anyways congratulations to everyone that made into the drawing,good luck.

Lame challenge.

  • 08.07.2009 7:38 AM PDT

It's lame because why? Because it actually challenges you instead of taking a screen shot or getting 2000 double kills in grifball? Don't even post if your not going to have anything intelligent to say.

Either they haven't given Recon out yet for the Crow's Nest, or I haven't won. It's the former. Definitely the former.

That would explain why I don't have Recon armor yet. LOL

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

So close.... Died to the Turret Chieftain just after the map room on my third attempt (first two were quick deaths). Lucky bastard barely knicked me too...

Ouch. What do you usually do to kill him? I got close enough to stun him with an overcharged plasma pistol, then I assassinated him to go into the Brute Stalker room with full shields. I got killed at the same part. When I was shot the door with my plasma pistol to lure a Brute in and he threw a grenade. After I killed him, a second later, his grenade made another spike grenade go off.

I already completed The Ark. I still think The Covenant was harder.



Also, I was wondering, how exactly does Tyrant select the winner? Yeah, I know he said random, but the only way to get a truly random selection is by writing a short computer program. If he goes "eeny meeny miny moe" then that's not random.

Tyrant doesn't choose. He sends the names to Bungie and they pick randomly.

Well, I don't know about "usually" as I've only done three runs so far and only one of those got past the first encounter, but I was attempting to do the Plasma-stun assassination, just needed to get a little bit closer for it.

The Ark wasn't really a hair pulling experience for me anyway. But, from the last day of the Sierra 117 challenge, 'till now, I have yet to complete Sierra. I can get through every single level, but I'm having problems with Sierra. The level hates me.
