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.


Double wrong.

Taken directly from the Weekly Update.


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.


That is 100% correct.

Not sure, but I've never heard anyone from Bungie, HBO, or Halocharts use any other definition other than the one in this thread.

Halo Reach Mythic Conqueror

I just cleared the landing pad and got killed by the last jackal...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFML

furthermore, does anyone else feel that jackals are the most inconsistent, annoying enemy to fight? I shoot them in that little hole in their sheilds and sometimes they absorb my entire DMR and other times they just instantly die.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Staff Writer and speedrun record holder at highspeedhalo.net

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!

I'm not entirely sure if anyone has done the trick I found on PoA before. Its quite tricky to pull off so don't worry about having to update the guide or anything Tyrant.

Using it, of the 6 Phantoms that come to drop off enemies at the landing pad, you won't have to deal with the infantry from 3 of them, or even 4 if you're quick. Still have to deal with the FRG and Hammer Chieftain unfortunately.

Also, on a closely related (non-mythic useful) note; I found a way to do the last section (from giving keyes the package to the end of the level) with only having to kill 2 grunts and the crusier! Probably not useful for Mythic since you'll have no shields by the time you come to take the shot at the crusier.

Anyone want to take a guess at what this trick is? ;)

Sometimes they're leaning in a way that means the tip of their head is actually peaking into that little grove, granting you in the instant kill. Shooting them in their feet is often more reliable.

Sometimes. This is why I almost never bother DMRing jackals if they're facing me. I wait until a clear shot.


can someone tell the PoA to quit being so mean


Do what all the Mythic Conquerors you see on all the lists have been doing for years:

Imagine that the level of your bane is the only thing standing between you and hot, sweaty, fingernails-digging-in-the-back sex.

I don't think I am gonna bother with this weeks weekly challenge. My ONI mythic run took over 3 hours and right now I just want to concentrate on Exodus.


Take your time! Do, like, one checkpoint a day.

Save & Quit still works. You have a whole week!

Halo Reach Mythic Conqueror

Whelp, I finally beat PoA! And it was conveniently on the same day shadow beat LNoS. Well I'm not as clever with my listings but here they go:

1. Winter Contingency

2. ONI

3. Nightfall

4. Tip of the Spear

5. Long Night of Solace

6. Exodus

7. New Alexandria

8. The Package

9. Pillar of Autumn

10. And just for fun: Lone Wolf

Couldn't have done it without all the people in this thread, thanks to all of you :)

EDIT: Uh, I hope those links are working for you all they keep bringing up an error for me...If they don't work for you all I will add the 6 hardest ones to my fileshare and hopefully that suffices

Concussion rifle box launch up to the mass driver? Did it before with a friend. Shame you're unable to turn enough to take out the hammer/frg chieftain phantom though, but it's very useful for obliterating the remaining ones.

As for your 2 grunts thing though, I'm unsure of what you'd do for that. Same thing by chance?

Edit: And congrats Shadow and Leumas, 14 and 15 respectively :)

lol thanks, I'm definitely one for theatrics :D

@Leumas-
Nice! I guess today was just a good day for Mythic :D That's really funny because in Halo 3 Mythic, I beat Matclan to the #16 spot by about 3 hours, and now we were pretty close too lol

After doing the winter contingency weekly, I don't know that I have the patience to go for every level.


And that was an easy one...

Fortunately you have a very handy guide to help get you there the rest of the way.


Finished Oni last night, that was rough.

Thanks, I was wondering what the deal was, I guess thats what I get for just copying and pasting blindly from my notepad. I had a space between links and was just copying all the way down including the space because the links were so long I didn't want to scroll over. I went back and fixed my original post as well.

Between "slim" and "none". Anyone who cares enough about Halo's campaign to tackle Mythic would likely be a regular of Bungie.net, and it's not like we haven't had our fair share of press coverage on the front page.

It's actually quite possible, there's a few people over at Halocharts who finished Halo 3 Mythic but rarely/never post here. Thug Naztyyy for example.
Out of the millions of people playing any of the Halo games, you have to think that at least one has thought to himself "Hey, what if I turn ALL the skulls on".

But even then, you see my point. I'm sure Thug has seen us on Bungie's front page, he just hasn't stopped in.

Ah, I did vaguely remember someone mentioning something similar. No boxes though. A grenade + 3 concussion rifle stacked launch onto this pipe that goes into the tower the gun sits on. Then another jump with the concussion rifle to get onto the outer wall proper so you can run along it to the gun.

It'd be amazing in a co-op Mythic run since one person could go to the mass driver while the other can blow away the groups of enemies that spawn at the start. Then they can deal with the Chieftains while the one at the gun is picking off a few more enemies. Blow away the entire last wave with the mass driver and done!

How do you do the box launch?

As for your 2 grunts thing though, I'm unsure of what you'd do for that. Same thing by chance?Yep. Exact same way up. Unfortunately I don't think it'll have any practical applications, except maybe in a score run since you need tilt and I think Cowbell on to do it.

There was a guy at Airsoft who claimed to have beaten H3 mythic, but his tag certainly wasn't on any of the threads here. I didn't look into it much further.

RC, why isn't the mass driver jump useful on mythic? I'm wondering if you can drop down and grab a health pack in the full minute before the phantoms come. Are the zealots loaded? A video would be helpful. But I know your fileshare is stocked lol.
