The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

Yeah, my Mythic experience was basically only Coastal Highway. 1% of my hard work was the rest of the missions. Not that they were easy, Coastal Highway was that hard. Not anymore though.

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!

So have we found pretty sound strategies for Coastal Highway then?

And yes, the learning curve for ODST Mythic is far less steep than it was for Halo 3.

Medpacks have changed the dynamics completely.

Are we going to have a top highscore leaderboard like we do for quickest times?


For Mythic only?
Because Pahat has all the highest scores on normal Legendary with not all skulls on.

Earlier, someone mentioned a "corner" where there were 40 extra mag rounds but they were invisible...

That was me. Both Matclan and Gazas have filled in the relevant details.

I have seen an actual weapon model appear there once, but that was on Legendary co-op. Most of the time its not visible. Also note: if you go up to the 2nd floor balcony in the same area, you can also pick up ammo there too, but from the same pool/weapon. Its weird.

Also, its really fun to just go around the mombasa streets on legendary, nearly all skulls, and just kill enemies. They are fairly easily avoidable if you have somewhere to be, but taking them on is pretty fun, and the skybox is gorgeous. Would be nice if there were more vehicle patrols, but I guess they're all in the part of the city you can't access :(

The second floor balcony is where they said to go to begin with. Are we talking about a different balcony? If so, is it additional ammo?

Yes, but it's kinda difficult to explain unless I've got a film handy to talk you through. Just ask Gazas, he knows what I mean.

Well once it's done, you'll never do anything harder in the Campaign. But yeah, good luck, I'm sure you can do it without help. You did all missions in Halo 3 without help. :P

I strongly recommend viewing a current conqueror's film beforehand. Vince has a good one, as do I and Gazas, can't really say about anyone else as i haven't watched theirs but they'll probably all follow the same basic formula. Oh and Gazas definitely has he best way of dealing with the 4 Phantoms shortly after getting the tank.

Thanks Matclan!

I don't have Pro so unfortunately I can't show my video unless you join me some day for me to show you in a party.

I think Tyrant will at least try doing it with no help though.

I haven't really looked at any Mythic films yet, but I may have to think outside the box a little for Coastal. lol.

No we dont. If you look, we only have one for speed runs. We dont have a leader board for best scores.

I'll begin work on it tonight. Probably wont post it up tonight because I have to look through each person and find the top 3 highest scores for each mission.
Or actually, I'll just make the template and update it through the week. I will post it up in a second.

Nice work on the group stuff guys, and Tyrant you're making good headway with your own runs. Have you been thinking of write ups and videos already?

What's up guys? Sorry for my lack of posts, I'm a busy guy. Tyrant, you don't have to dread Coastal that much. I think you'll be fine on it. If you have to, DL a film, but it would be more rewarding doing it without one.

Yup. As a matter of fact, I turned in two of the Mythic 2.0 walkthroughs to HBO today with only 2 more left. After they are complete, I plan on getting started with ODST.

I have a good video as well. You should look at mine if you're having any trouble. It's original, as in I didn't look at anyone else's video to complete it. I think it works pretty well.

EDIT: I found that the entire ODST Mythic was relatively easy (Well, as easy as Mythic is), Tayari Plaza to Data Hive really boosts your confidence. Then Costal kicks you in the ass, it's the most demoralizing experience for Mythic. It's a good thing during the SMRC that "Floodgate" was the first level, otherwise I would've given up on Mythic.

I can't wait for Tyrant to make a guide for ODST. Then I get my name BOLDED.

In that building after meeting the two marines, there are balconies on both the 1st and 2nd floor. On the first floor, there is the body of an elite where the ammo can be picked up, on the 2nd floor, its a marine. But weird thing is, its the same weapon that you pick up the ammo from, in both locations. Meaning its still only 40ish rounds.

Slightly off-topic question:

For anyone who has access to their Xbox at the moment, could you download my Crow's Nest 2.0 film and tell me whether I used the Deployable Cover during the first Drone encounter, or the following Motor Pool battle with the Chieftain?

I'm writing the guide and haven't seen the film in ages, so I don't remember which method I ultimately went with...

Thanks!
