Will the Zealots attack me while I'm waiting on the stairs by the Mass Driver? Field Marshal is already dead.

Yes, you need to be out of sight.

Well then, it looks like I have some Zealots to deal with.

It's easy to hide from them. Just pause your game and watch my rendered run :-P

It's also very easy to kill them. My experience with Elites and those iron-mesh screens has taught me how they behave when they see someone behind it.

One of the Dual-Wielders stood there and stared at me while I continued firing my Plasma Pistol at him. The other two haven't been as cooperative; one of them started going in to a secondary state of confusion that is caused by me being behind it. If shot at, after receiving a few hits, he hops to the side until he gets hit a few more times and hops back to where he had been. Eventually he hopped behind cover instead, but I managed to get the second Dual-Wielder to repeat what happened with the first. With what I tried to do, I think that may be the perfect way to get them to expose themselves. Now I just have one Zealot left; I need to go grab Hologram anyway, so I suppose I can just assassinate him with it before going up the steps.

Edit: All clear.

Man, do I feel stupid. I could have been in the top 5 conquerors if I had just asked for some advice and have been told to use the Hologram back then.

Good gun, Spartan.

My score is in binary. It took nearly two hours...probably 30 minutes were spent playing hide and seek with the Chieftain and his one remaining Brute who refused to come down from the Crow's Nest, but I did learn something: the Plasma Launcher Chieftain is the easiest Chieftain to assassinate. Eventually I grab the Hologram and deploy it from inside the shed while he's down on the same level. The Hologram runs in to a railing and the Chieftain fires two shots from the Plasma Launcher. Both either missed or went through the Hologram. After his second volley, the Hologram disappeared, so I repeated it again, went out the other door and assassinated him while he attempted to blow up the Hologram.

Sadly, this makes me conqueror 13. If just one more person had been before me, my conqueror numbers would have been a palindrome. (4 1 14)

Congrats Vince on being conqueror numero 13. I secretly wanted that spot, although I guess it's cool to be Noble 6 x 2.

Also sweet Quad run for the weekly... I'm glad to see that Shadowstrike rocks at Arena and Campaign, unlike other MLG/Arena gods who can't get past Winter Contingency cuz they are failz.

YAY for Vincey!

Got a new record for Winter Contingency today; <12:30. On my second try at the weekly. Still need to go in and time it out properly but the backlight on my screen is busted or something and I literally can't see anything on it. That means I can't upload the film yet either :(

LOL @ 1250cRs. But, heh, I've done levels on Mythic for less.

EDIT: 100 pages epic win!

I need to get a clip of those Zealots. I'm not sure if it was just one of them or all of them talking, but they would not shut up.

Edit: Also, I forgive you guys for doing Quad-Mythic without me. BUT I AM NOT AMUSED.

You look unto me now through the profile screen found at http://www.bungie.net/Account/Profile.aspx. Here we are, mutually faceless, both ones in the Seventh.

The time to turn things up a notch has come, fellow Campaigners.

  • 01.25.2011 3:10 PM PDT

It would be realy good if Bungie would tell us how many people atually completed the weekly challenge in weekly update or something.

Congratulations, Vincent! I remember the dejected post earlier where you told us you were killed on the mass driver; all's well that ends well I guess!

As soon as I finish exams, I'll do this weekly challenge. I just hope the level is easier than I remember it.

Can you use save and quit for the challenge?

Shouldn't it be 12,500 cR?

Anyway, the run is up at High Speed Halo in YouTube HD (still processing so only 480p is available at the time of this post).

RC's run should be up tomorrow.

From what I've heard, yes.

So, I grabbed some mementos from my Pillar of Autumn run. I wanted to do things differently, not just in approach to areas, but for laughs.

The Mongoose run, for example, I decided to drive a different vehicle. Emile rode shotgun.

Keep on truckin'

As I mentioned about the Plasma Launcher Chieftain, I examined that portion and found out that the stickies did in fact pass straight through the Hologram.

So I made a clip demonstrating a very easy way to kill that Chieftain if you run out of Needle Rifle ammo. You'll want him to be the only one left, though.

And of course...

The Zealot who would not shut up!

Try using the drop shield in the trench or try to get Jorge to engage him, or both. On my only Winter Contingency run, I assassinate him when he's shooting at Jorge.

okay, maybe I should change it up, I'm guessing that the shotgun isn't worth taking though?

edit: oh btw, after countless times of getting owned by zealots in multiple situations, the assassination thing worked! Thanks man!
