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

The shotgun? That thing's worthless on mythic. All you should ever need for mythic is:
a. A headshot capable weapon
b. A plasma pistol
c. (Optional) A needler/needle rifle for brutes.

Oh and I rendered both your films Vince cause I had spare minutes to use.

I was just wondering if you might be able to answer my question. Me and a friend of mine completed the weekly challenge today and did not recieve the credits for it and it says that we havent completed it. What we did was me and my son went through the beginning of it yesterday all the way up to the sword elite at the very end and had to give up. (Hes 6 and i had to get him in bed for school.)LOL! But anyways today me and a friend of mine started at rally point bravo on winter contingency and completed it after about 2 hours or so. while we were playing it we hit start and looked at the challenges to make sure we would get credit for it since we started at point bravo and it was highlighted, basically saying if we complete it we would get the credits. Well we beat the mission like the challenge required and did not recieve a challenge complete for it. The challenge says complete winter contingency on legendary, all skulls on, and we did that. I sent an email to the bungie webmaster today but i was just wondering if you might be able to tell me something that we did wrong or if we did it right and should have earned the credits. thank you in advance! My gamertag is DR HIGGLESTEIN.

You've already raised the answer to your own question pal. Starting from RPB and finishing won't complete the challenge; it's gotta be done from mission start in one sitting.

If you're on live I can help out now if you want. So long as I can get the falcon without Jun being in it and having to restart, we could have the level done in under half an hour if neither of us dies.

Thanks for the answer. I really would like to get this challenge completed since i have already put tons of time into it. I would definately like some help with it but right now im getting my son to sleep. Im usually home and on xbox live all day, if you get a chance send me a message on there and we will give it a go. I have to tell you though im new to the mythic thing and when we played it i died plenty of times. We pretty much just ran past everything at the beginning and then where the falcon picks you up we just got in a truck and ran all the covenant over. That was the easiest way we could take them out. But yeah, my biggest problem is at the last room with the sword elite. there was major death in that room and i had to give it up. If you want you can add me on xbox live, DR HIGGLESTEIN is my gamertag. Thanks alot for the help and i hope you can pull me through this challenge. lol!

I think I'm going to download that video of the Zealot to my computer and reverse the audio to see if the Elites are speaking reversed English again.

I'm not to sure if they actually speak in reverse cause I can for certain at least guarantee that the elites say "He-who-moves-raaaaghhaaahhh!" when they rage at you.

  • 01.25.2011 9:36 PM PDT

Yeah, I know they have certain phrases they speak in muttered English, among which I hear "Kick his ass" every now and then.

Winter Contingency is the first level of the game. We're just getting warmed up. :)

The only way in HELL I'm going to try LNOS or POA, or ONI on Mythic again is if they make the challenge at least a hundred thousand points.

ONI and PoA aren't that bad. C'mon, you've beaten them both already. If and when these missions come about, enjoy it. There's no race to finish, play around with the missions, try new things.

LNoS though, ouch. I hate that mission.

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!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

No worries, Mike. They've all gotten a LOT easier since the first conquerors emerged. You know me. Gotta simplify everything ;-)

Finally convinced my friend to do at least WC for the weekly challenge, then some proper Mythic. Eventually much lols and "OMFG AAAAHHHHHH!!!" moments ensued.

I would like to be apart of the mythic group haha. already beat winter contingency with LASO on. Took me 4 or 5 tries. I expect the other levels to be ten times harder, but its not impossible.

Everything checks out; scoring on, all skulls, Legendary. 1 hour and 30 minutes, eh...? Well, time isn't really important, but you did kill 131 enemies, which is more kills than in any of the top 3 high scores we have for the level.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

It's also possible he paused it and took a break. The stats system counts that towards the game's length. In any case, welcome to the fold, irish!

I'm mainly pleased to see another member who takes the "slow and steady, kill everything" approach.

It's pretty rare in Reach Mythic.

Funny you should say that, as I'm planning on doing a scorched earth mythic campaign after I graduate in May.

Battle of Boneyard will be interesting. I've thought about ways to fight that out and tried some ideas; the most of I've gotten through are two Rangers, one or two Ultras, all the Jackals, and all the Skirmishers. Trouble is that the General retreats to a good distance when you kill too many enemies and there isn't really any way to get close to him safely enough.

Come to think of it, is he the only General in Campaign with an FRG...? Or does the one at the first AA gun in TotS have one too?

There is one in ONI: Sword Base near the end, but we usually skip him via the route in the guide.

The FRG Generals are sad; they just want to meet a Spartan, but the Spartans always avoid them. XD

For my Winter Contingency, New Alexandria sans drones, Package and believe it or not LNOS Mythic runs, I killed everything. Well, that is to say that everything in my path died, whether by my hand or my allies. But that counts, right?

Oh wait, in LNOS, I ran past the second battle in the cannon room. Never mind.

Is PoA really not that bad? I've been thinking back to when I played through on legendary and I thought it was pretty tough. Are there some skips and tricks I'm not aware of?

I have beaten LNoS though on myhtic which was definitely a high point :)
