#1 Legendary ODST Firefight Highscore

[UNINTELLIGIBLE > INSUBORDINATION(?)]

Question about Exodus Finale

Would it be better if I used the wraith to kill the enemies in the building rather than running with invisibility to the button?

I just don't want to end up dead and the finish of a level.

Are there only 13 spots for the Mythic Conquerors? When I saw that you only had 13 (Which is the same number of skulls) spots, I thought that this may be true.


There are only 13 spots because there have only been 13 conquerors so far. The list does not have a length limit, however, so if you're thinking of vying for spot number 14, I highly encourage you to get to work!

On a separate note, I think I've gotten my new method for the starting battle on ONI down. On my last run I reached the second objective (Comms Array) and was on my way from the generator to the array itself when an unusually-placed elite happened to stick me. I died at 7:29. I feel good about the pace I'm setting for myself, so I should have a new run out within the next few days.

Two things about the weekly annoy me:
1. Its NOT LASO. Don't call it that! You're just confusing the definitions for the public further. Damn it Bungie! Call it LABOSO (Legendary, all but one skull on) or something.
2. The payout its pretty poor. Yes no blind, but this is a much longer and harder level than Winter Contingency. Last weeks challenge was 15k for a super-easy grind. This one takes skill, foreknowledge, planning and careful execution. Especially if you don't know how to skip the enemy spawns inside sword base...

Anyway, bagged this just now with my GF. That makes us 2/9 for CLASO :)

Sweet Weekly minus the blind skull bit. I'll use the challenge to beat RC's record of 18 min ;)

Got anything interesting or are you just gonna smooth out what I did? :P


I agree with the above points, and congrats on CLASO w/ your g/f! Mine can't even kill grunts in 2x Score Attack...

For the speedrun, you could shave a minute off the initial fight, ghost to the FRONT of the general immediately after target locating that area and hit the switch from outside. Then the only improvement really is the double concussion rifle jump which I have yet to do but is theoretically possible.

Your run is pretty awesome though, it will be hard to beat even if the above is executed correctly.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Haha, it took me 25 minutes just to get past the courtyard. 18 minutes is insane.

My next question is can you split up and have one person go for each objective? If you could do this and have both wraiths it would be awesome.

No. The game would teleport you to the other player.

Actually you're wrong on that end. When playing with Eli today we split up and went to both objectives individually; me to the comm array and Eli to the aa gun. Although I had a rocket hog and eli had the wraith, I didn't teleport to him, or him to me. Kat on the other hand, left my turret for Eli's -.-

We'll have to test the wraith to see if you can get both and split up to separate objectives.

  • 02.22.2011 2:56 AM PDT

Damn, choked right at the end of Oni. Elites dead, phantom had to be close, foolishly ran out to grab ammo from the front and taken down by a couple blobs of plasma from above. There was probably ammo still left in the (SAFER!) corridoor too.

So close to mythic #5. Next time, hopefully... if I don't die, as per most attempts, in one of my two main problem areas: the wraiths, or the first lake bed with the gun placement.

I used the wraith to kill most of the enemies the first time I did it. Found it more reliable than trying to rush it. But maybe thats cus I sucked back then...

Whatever you decide, practice from RPB to get a feel for it.

I found that unreliable on Legendary, let alone Mythic. The target locator only pushes the Ultras around on Mythic and they'll still be there immeidately after the TL stops firing to pound you into a gooey pulp. Not to mention the grunts and their grenades...

Halo Reach Mythic Conqueror

can someone tell the PoA to quit being so mean

  • 02.22.2011 9:43 AM PDT

Did you see that? I just yoinked that guy off!

Hey Tyrant, since you've done Halo 3, ODST, and Reach, why not try Halo 2 on Mythic?

  • 02.22.2011 10:59 AM PDT

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

Not to mention you would have to leave the box running after collecting all the skulls (which we still don't know EXACTLY what triggers IWHBYD to spawn) since they reset when you turn it off. That would lead to some overheating issues for sure.

Halo Tips-
My Tips To Reach Onyx!
My Tips To Reach 50!
In-Game Lessons
Mythic Conqueror of Halo 3 (#16) & Reach (#14)
Onyx Top 1% - #6 in the world (S4), #9 (S5)
Given Recon by Bungie June, 2009.

Ahem, if I could have everyone's attention please.

Please listen to THIS music while reading the following post.

Stories told of a man who would rise above the odds. He would conquer a great challenge set before him, and become the 14th person to do so. Many doubted him. Many turned their back on him. Only the few closest to him believed in his power. It was an impossible task set before him, which would be considered suicide to most. Nevertheless, he took up his DMR, and thrust himself into the battle... He began his quest... His quest for Mythic Conquership... Again...

First, he tackled the terrors of Winter Contingency. He snuck his way through Nightfall. He pummeled through the troubles of Exodus. He braved the hardships of Tip of The Spear. He pushed through ONI: Sword Base. He gave a fistful of tungsten to The Package. He partied his way through New Alexandria. He sacrificed much on Pillar of Autumn. Finally, he overcame the opposition presented in Long Night of Solace.

9 missions. 9 successes. Casualties? A lot. Tears? Tons. Bad words used? Even more than should be allowed.

Biggest load of crap I had to deal with? AA guns deciding I was a bad guy.

So here I am, requesting permission to take the #14 spot of the list of Mythic Conquerors.

2) I hate Halo 2.

:-)


This is blasphemy. Personally i think Halo 2 had the best overall campaign story of all the halos. Covenant civil war, playing as the arbiter and the chief. It was awesome to see both sides of the fight as two characters working against each other eventually arrived at the same goal. The ending to halo 2 never made me want to play another video game more. And not to mention that I played nearly 10000 games of multiplayer matchmaking. If it wasn't for all the glitches H2 probably had the best multiplayer experience as well. If you go through and look at the maps the on disc original maps, they are all awesome. Halo 3 and Reach had mediocre launch maps IMO

@Shadow, congrats. You beat me to it, I was sure I'd be number 14, oh well number 15 is good too. Haven't really seen anyone else around that is close to completing the campaign. Now if PoA would just co-operate I could get there.

@RC Go on...

I can't promise anything. I have a lot of school stuff going on right now. I'll try to get a sizable chunk of it out of the way and be online for quad-mythic, but again I can't guarantee I'll be able to.

Oh and congrats, Shadow! I thoroughly enjoyed the music too. ;)

Man... I never really had many problems with PoA... I guess I'd say the hardest part was the landing pad probably. The real hard part for me was the MAC until I got it down.

Halo Reach Mythic Conqueror

I hate that duel wielding elite in the mass driver room. He has killed me too many times. How exactly are you supposed to deal with him? It seems that you are supposed to jump on whatever that thing is on the ground level and scoot around and go to the side and that makes him go up the stairs, but several times he just completely obliterates me when I jump from the machine on the ground level to those outer ledges.

On my latest attempt I got up there and went to the side and jumped over the railing and I thought he went up the stairs but when I jumped down he came back down to the ground level and killed me on my attempt to get back up there. What am I doing wrong?

  • 02.22.2011 3:48 PM PDT

No, Mythic difficulty = playing Legendary and turning the Mythic skull on. What you are describing is LASO, which stands for Legendary All Skulls On, which is harder than Mythic.

Furthermore, Mythic difficulty also requires zero deaths, no save&quit, and scoring be turned on (for verification purposes). None of these requirements are included for just LASO.
