While we're at it, you still can't render clips from the Halo 3 Campaign, can you?

I'm not sure. Maybe the recent update allows it to be done on site like with ODST. I might test it out sometime.

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!

Data Hive complete. Don't think there's much I'd do differently, so this will be the walkthrough run as well unless anyone has any significant discoveries that I didn't run across.

I am finding ONI alpha site hard. I get stuck after you kill the first two hunters and waves start charging up the hill. I tried giving micky rockets and just wating back, but after 10 mins, he still hadn't killed many of them. Any tips to get past that stage?

Download the film from my file share.

Basically, you'll want to laser the Brutes as they drop from the Phantoms. This will make your life MUCH easier.

FYI - Redid Data Hive and cleaned it up a bit. Had I not backtracked for a med-pack when facing off the Drones, I would have beaten Dark's time :-)

However, it does seem as if that bit of wandering either kept the Drone Leader from spawning, or caused him to attack Dare instead of flying over to me. Either way, you have to admit, that's a definite plus.

Have a look. There are several instances that can be rushed.

Data Hive is like...I don't know, I can't say much about because I've only tried it and completed it once. =)

Ok, should I try and keep the other troops alive? And what should by secondary weapon be?

I will download the film tomorrow as I dont have enough time to try again tonight, but still, tips tonight would be great.

You should be wielding a Magnum and Spartan Laser. Don't worry about the troops. Let them serve as a distraction. Again, watch the film. Can't render it yet due to the fact that I have no minutes to render them with.

Oops. Forgot I was gonna render those films. I'll buy my render minutes tomorrow as I've fiished Assassin's Creed so won't be distracted by that anymore.
Nice work on Data Hive, Tyrant, now you have only to "run the gauntlet..." Best of luck.

Figured out the issue with the Drone Leader on Data Hive. If you're far enough away, he'll engage Dare instead of you. It does add a bit more time to the run, but it seems worth it to me.

On the level Kizingo Boulevard could you drive the ghost past the tank that you have to kill and board it from the other side? That way you could distroy it and then get back into the ghost and rush to the end of the level.

It has been tried, but the problem isn't the tank itself but rather all the other enemies in the area. Grunts will not hesitate to stick you even if you're on their own tank.

Would it be possible? Well, I'm not going to say no, but let's just say the average player wouldn't be able to pull it off very easily.

And I believe both tanks need to be destroyed.

And about Coastal...

Gazas, it doesn't appear that you have Bungie Pro. Would you mind deleting some items off of your file share and uploading your film? I want to see this from multiple angles. Don't worry, old friend. We know you conquered Mythic. You've had those things up for over a year :-P

Would you say that the first level is not as hard as Kizingo Boulevard, or is it harder. I want an easy level to try and do tomorrow.

Tayari is easier and shorter. Check out my video.

The mission is also more fun in my opinion.

I will do, is there any rendered versions of Tayri? As my xbox is playing around and it takes ages to download stuff.

Hopefully soon. I can't buy any at the moment, but MATCLAN volunteered to render them for me.

Thanks MATCLAN! :-)

I do mind. =)

Those are my Co-Op Mythic films with Dark. I don't want to delete that many films (specially those) just for one single film. The risk of losing them is big, I lost my whole library of saved films when my previous Xbox broke, everything that wasn't in my Fileshare was gone. I'm good at losing stuff.

I'm getting Bungie Pro as soon as I get the money for it. So I hope you can just wait for a day or a week. =)

The walkthrough will be nothing more than the linked videos in the OP coupled with an audio commentary. Please feel free to get started as the actual guide won't be much different than what's already there :-)

TAYARI PLAZA guide might need looking at again. The section right before the hunters you lose all your sheilds and a lot of your health. Most people arn't as experienced as you are Tyrant, so maby if there is an easer way where you dont get shot quite so much.

Oh and what happend to you at the end of the level? lol, the pod wouldn't let you open it.

Losing your stamina during the sniper tower fight is pretty typical. You don't really have enough ammo to kill everything there, so you're going to have to run it. What I suggest doing (as shown in the video) is taking out key enemies. The sniper is an obvious must followed by the Marksmen and the Grunts. If you can get a couple of Shielded Jackals too, it would be preferable, but again, ammo is precious and you have limited quantities of it.

I've been able to get by there 9/10 as long as I take out the key enemies first. Don't just run it. Take out the key enemies.

Wow, I just found out that on the level Tank level, you dont have to kill both tanks before the gates open, you can just rush past them, then it triggers the event and the doors open, you can rush past the enamys who come out of there as well.

Then you did something else to trigger them. Both Matclan and myself rushed up to the door several times, but it wouldn't open until the tanks were gone.
