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!

Thanks!

And yes, you can bet on it :-)

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.

I'm going to buy some Render Minutes and render all of the night sections. They can be used as exemplars if anyone's interested, and with the ability to fast-forward I think that we may be able to use some examples from our 8 skull run on Mombasa Streets (although I didn't save the film, so we may need to do another run, but that's hardly an issue) to show examples of Hunter boxing etc.

What d'you think, Tyrant? Up for making an educational run of New Mombasa this weekend? We could easily show how to rack up lots of ninja kills in certain areas and how best to deal with Engineers etc.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I think that would be an excellent idea. The render minutes are fairly inexpensive and Mombasa Streets is tons of fun to play. Particularly on co-op!

I'll be out of town most of the day Saturday. But Friday night and most of the day Sunday I should be free :-)

Friday night it shall be then. I know my way around and know of two good kill zones for would be assassins, meanwhile you know how to deal with Hunters via melee (we can track down the lone Hunter pretty easily to make an example of, just bring a Brute Shot/Mauler).

I watched your uplift reserve level guide and then just turned on my xbox and compleated it in 7 mins. I am going to try and conquer all of ODST on Mythic.

Best of luck to you, man. ODST is much easier than Halo 3 (with the exception of Coastal Highway). Gratz on Uplift Reserve!

You know where to go when you need advice :-)

Still didn't take me anywhere near as long or as many tries as the Ark did.

Buck is a good meatsheild, even if hes not that great of a shot.

Edit: Cool job on the NMPD speedrun Tyrant. I knew you could get through areas 1 and 3 easily, but it was the 2nd and 4th area with the higher amount of enemies that twarted my (albiet brief) efforts.

The Covenant, Sierra 117 and The Ark took me longer than Coastal Highway.
Crow's Nest took me 2 days max.

They all allow you to set your own pace though. Coastal unfortunately has you chasing after a bad driver and Engineer who apparently can't see threats directly in front of them.
It's more a case of "play catchup" than "plan the mission, conserve ammo and be awesome" which is needed for The Ark.

That's the thing. It's much easier to "control" situations on The Ark than on Coastal Highway. At the end of the day, the former is still my favorite mission. I can't say the same for the latter. lol.

Let's just say that I loved Coastal Highway on my intital playthrough on Legendary when the Olifant didn't die. It seemed to be an epic way to end the game, fighting through to an extraction point only to have a Cruiser begin glassing the city and requiring me to hold out against waves of enemies. T'was fun in that scenario.
Yet as soon as Iron and Mythic activate it all goes south with adamantine Ghosts and twice the respawns due to Dare's dodgy driving. >:-|

One not unlike it, I'm hoping the guide will include tips and tricks that Tyrant take from our suggestions as well.

I want to have a go, but a friend currently has my copy of ODST. I guess I'm waiting...

You've got MW2 to occupy you until then. :-P
But when you get ODST back you really should have a go, try speedrunning Uplift Reserve first and then gradually move onto the more difficult stuff. Although doing them in order is very satisfying too.

I have Kikowani Station down to 7 minutes. Rendering now...

My next mission to perfect will be Kizingo Boulevard. Here's my assignment to all the Mythic Conquerors out there. Can you find a way to beat the area with the TWO Wraiths without a Scorpion in under 5 minutes?

Ready.

Set.

GO!

*sees MW2 all the way down firend list*
OK, I'll do it. :-)

Starting tonight I'm going to attempt a lightning quick Kizingo rush. The question is; will 5 minutes be short enough? The final fight usually takes about that and getting to the Banshee/Wraith area also takes about 3-5 minutes.

Well that's what I mean. I don't mean the ENTIRE mission in just five minutes, but rather just that single fight with the two Wraiths :-)

Tomorrow or later today I will try the most resent one that you uploaded. Any tips you would advise that wasn't included in the video?
