UPDATE 10/8/2010: As of today, the Mythic community has collectively conquered the entire campaign on Mythic Difficulty! Proof that the feat can indeed be accomplished! Or as Sgt. Johnson would say, "It's tough, but it ain't invincible!" Well done, community. Well done.

Reach is here, folks, so if you're like me and Legendary might not have seemed quite hard enough, you may be looking for a more challenging experience. So, after you've maxed out your campaign fun, are you ready to up your game to the next level?

With both the Halo 3 Mythic Guide and the Halo 3: ODST Mythic Guide now complete, it's now time to begin work on Reach. I will be posting my progress daily as to what the status is on my Mythic progress through the game right up until it's complete. Our current goal is to have the walkthrough released by the end of the year.

But having playing Firefight first hand at PAX in Seattle this past year, I can tell you that Mythic in Reach will be unlike anything you've ever experienced before. Not only has Bungie thrown Elites into the mix, but the AI is now smarter than ever and won't take being conquered laying down anymore.

As before, this will serve as a progress/help threat up until the walkthrough makes it to the masses, at which point this will thread will be here strictly for aiding others in their own quest for Mythic. Godspeed to all of you who embark on his/her own journey!

If sifting through pages and pages of forum conversation to simply find a few pointers isn't your thing, then please feel free to check out Tyrant's Tweets strictly dedicated to the Mythic experience. Count on a new Mythic/campaign tip being posted daily.

So, without further ado, I now officially begin the quest for Mythic Reach. Game on, fellow fans!

Oh boy. I both loved and loathed mythic with every iota of my being. AT THE SAME TIME.

Good luck. I can imagine some serious rage is gonna be present in this run through :P

Good luck with the Elites.

The Ultras look super frustrating even on Normal. I wonder about the Zealots.

They do indeed. I had the honor of playing Firefight at PAX this year, and I can safely say that the AI has gotten MUCH better, and the Elites are certainly far from pushovers unlike their Brute counterparts in both Halo 3 and ODST.

Not meant in a trolling way but I've seen all your guides for Halo 3 and ODST and isn't it a bit "cheap" basically dodging as much as you can? On Heroic you fight through, on legendary you fight through, on mythic shouldn't you do the same?

I hope that Reach allows you to do it "properly" for want of a better word.

Given what I've seen Im not sure its possible with all the skulls being the same as Halo 3. And if it is possible it will only be possible with tricks and glitches.

P.S.

Good Luck, and I can honestly say better you then me.

Actually, we have many conquerors that stick around and fight every battle. And actually, the v1.0 guide of Halo 3 primary dealt with encounters as such. But personally? I don't like to spend 3 hours on one mission if I don't have to. Sure it's fun the first time around, but it becomes increasing frustrating if you spend 2.5 hours on a mission only to accidentally walk off a cliff. Sometimes the skips are their to make the over all process much shorter :-)

All the skulls from Halo 3 are there and present from the get-go. The only thing that's different is the Fog skulls has been renamed to Cloud.

This is going to be insane. Good luck ;)

Hopefully there will be no black eye.


agreed. other than blind and iron, black eye made mythic runs way too hard sometimes

Black eye is still in. lol.

I would like to be a Mythic Member, or a mod.

REALLY BAD. I believe I deserve it, I am very loyal to the dear Bungie forums and want to keep everything in tip-top shape. Its always a real pleasure to be on the forums and I want to be recognized here.

Here we go! More mythic difficulty!

  • 09.11.2010 6:04 AM PDT

Wow this game isn't even out yet and the nerds already care about some "mythic difficulty" that doesn't even exist. I find this kinda pathetic but it's just me and I don't want to stay in your way.

  • 09.11.2010 6:04 AM PDT

Looks like this time is going to be even harder, good luck and I'll definetaly have a go myself.

Just curious, do you think this will end up developing a guide for Mythic firefight?

Yes and no (You'll have a better understanding when I release the bonus footage for "Prepare to Drop" and "Mombasa Streets" for the ODST Guide).

The main reason I'm not sure how I'm going to go about doing it (at the present time) is because there are "cheats" the player can use in Firefight mode. For example, you can use invincibility or even bottomless clip. With those in play, you can't even lose... :-(

Excellent question! :-)

I'm sure soemone will make a gametype with all skulls on and otherwise default settings. It would be a fun challenge to see how long you could survive on such a gametype.
