They are carrying over from Halo 3.

I'm assuming they're going to be hidden throughout the Campaign like in H3?

Why did you make this thread so early? Making it closer to the release date would have made more sense.

I swear H3: ODST is using the same skulls as H3. Apart from Fog. So no need to find them.

So if we found them in H3 already, we'll have them? Or will they be available to everyone from the start?

Yeah, I don't think we have to find them...hopefully.

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

Why not?

A good commander leads his army into a fight well prepared ;-)

Skulls will have to be found to be used in CAMPAIGN. The Firefight skulls will be available from the start.

Meh I guess so.

I was just curious.

Looks like I need to subscribe to this thread now.

Hopefully I'll be amongst the first four to complete Mythic again. Or even better, the first!

Then again...do we have to find the Skulls to unlock them in ODST, or do we have them from the get go?

Thus far I've only heard that they carry over from Halo 3. I have yet to hear any sound evidence suggesting otherwise.

Where did you hear this? It is safe to assume that they will be hidden throughout the Campaign.

I actually don't think that the shielded enemies will concern us as much as Brutes, you can still take them down with a Plasma Pistol overcharge.

It was in one of the updates. I believe it was the same updated that basically pointed out a Mythic-type bonus round for Firefight.

Because there are no Achievements for it.

That is not sufficient proof. They could do what they did with the sliver skulls and not include them, or they could just not have listed them as an achievement because they already had enough gamerscore. Who knows?

One word: Grunts.
=P
Four words: FIRE IN THE HOLE
Four more words:
Thats what she said.
Another four: Yes, yes she did.
;D

I think thats just about worn that thread of a joke out. =P
But anyways, ive never tried Mythic difficulty on H3, so ill have to give it a go on ODST. Im guessing its fun.


People who've done it, myself included, continue to do it to this very day, so I'd have to say yes. Yes, it is fun :-)
Well, if by fun you mean so difficult you want to pull every single hair follicle out of your scalp, then yes, it's fun.

As for Mythic in ODST, how do we know that there are skulls in Campaign? We can assume there are, but there's a chance there may not be.

On ODST? It's gonna be uber hard.
Yea Engineer + Golden Hunters = Golden Hunters with overshields. O_O
That will be fun on Mythic.
The new AI. That will be fun. And since they are tweaking the old AI as well, we might have to relearn some of their behaviors.

I hope we have to search for the skulls in ODST. I haven't done a fetch quest in awhile and I think they could make it pretty interesting in ODST.

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

Meh. I've still got a full head of hair, even after completing Mythic. :-P
As for the skulls, Bungie have seen what's been done with Halo 3 and the limits we pushed it to. Why wouldn't they give us the same opportunity in ODST? It's in their interests to keep as much variety in the game as possible to prolong replayability.
I for one can't wait to get started skull hunting (if required) or playing Mythic on ODST. I'm definitely gonna finish earlier than 17th this time. :-)
Also Tyrant, I'm liking that you seem to want this guide to be a collective effort from the Mythic Community. It'll sure lessen the load a little for you.

Why? You're a beast at Mythic, you had some sweet tricks for 2.0 and were a part of the 2nd team to do this CLASO. I reckon you could make it into the top 10 again at least.

  • 08.28.2009 11:16 AM PDT

I prefer señor Legendary Member.

Roadhouse.
I have seen the powers at hand and I can honestly say I am not ready

This is going to be sweet. I can't wait to try Fire Fight with all of the skullz on.

But it was in an update within this past month. They list them on the Home Page. Have a look and let us know ;-)

I skimmed it and saw the word skull a few times, but it was talking about the bonus round. Either you are thinking of a different one, or it's just never been said.
