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?


There are a LOT of skips that weren't around (or discovered) when the first conquerors trudged through it. It's gotten a lot easier. Check out the link in the OP :-)

Nice, i'll make sure to check it out later, but alas I'm still focusing on Exodus. I finally cleared the executive landing pad part only to get in the falcon and be killed by an overcharged plasma shot...

When trying to clear the pad I tried to assassinate the initial brute but something went wrong and everyone was aware of my presence so I had to fight him head on which was crazy. I ran out of DMR at one point and thought that I could jump down and go grab more from the initial area (which I was able to do just fine) but much to my chagrin all the enemies that I thought had despawned hadn't, I just couldn't see them from up high. So I had to do the big jump again and the fuel rod elite was chilling right where I landed, I immediately jet packed up and grabbed a fuel rod, broke his shield then stuck him. It was awesome, but sad because then I died right when I got in the falcon. :(

Continuing on in my quest to clean up my old Mythic runs I've now done ONI: Sword Base in 38:14; a decent 30 minutes quicker than my old run. Film.

Apart from that mother!@#$%^ of an elite at the very start which I had troubles assassinating, and a DMR which ran out in sword base at a rather crucial time, it was IMO a pretty damn good run.

Great watch, def room to improve here and there but it won't get much faster.

Thanks, and to top it off Tip of the Spear in 26:57 and film. That was a full hour faster than my old run believe it or not, which is very good in my books.

Ugh, Exodus is proving to be as annoying as I thought it'd be. Better to improve my time on it than go crazy trying to improve my time on LNoS though.

New Alexandria mythic in 20:28. (FILM) Its a solid 5 minutes quicker than Eli's (very similar) run. Could go faster, but its basically pot luck on what side-missions you get. :(

Well yeah, but I tried for the subsequent two days and couldn't do it! So I'll leave it like this for now.

Because he emailed Wu probably. He can only post what he knows about.

I saw that too and lol'd. The run is nearly identical to mine with the only noticeable difference being that he lets Hor-hay kill the Sword guy rather than chiming in with his plasma pistol and making it quicker.

lol!

  • 01.27.2011 2:31 PM PDT

Looks like with the new weekly challenge, and probably more to come, you'll have to do it again. :P

EDIT: I love you for this guide. Will help me get the weekly's :D

Getting those times down efficiently I see. All these fast runs might motivate me to return to WC, Sword Base, Nightfall and TotS which I did in October...

Nice Alexandria run too, RC. It sucks that the fastest runs on that level, skill aside, will be those that get the super easy side missions (again, buck sucks).

Maybe playing through Long Night for the eventual weekly challenge won't be so bad.

But something's been bothering me: Am I the only one who thinks Jorge's sacrifice should have been something more like this? It would've made the spartans seem more human.

Yeah, NA sucks for speedrunning really. But I really enjoy it otherwise. I got a Buck mission in that run, so comparable times aren't impossible even if you do get one from him.

On a previous run that went about 24 minutes, I got the Misriah Complex (to my horror!) Took me 4 solid minutes to clear it; switching between defending myself from Banshees and picking off the Engineers one by one. Its damn tough, but not a death sentence.

Have you read the books? If anything, Jorge's sacrifice was gushy for a SPARTAN-II...

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.

So, when I ran WC for the weekly I cut almost a minute off my previous time. And I was rusty too, missing a ridiculous amount of shots. Fun challenge though.
