Subject: Official Halo: Reach *Mythic Difficulty* Guide (LASO for all missions)

Just wanted to jump in and introduce myself to the 'regulars' here. I'm a bit of a Mythic rookie, but I've enjoyed reading the discussions in this thread for quite a while now :)

Thanks to Tyrant and RC Master I've now cleared the first 3 missions on Mythic

Winter Contingency
Oni Sword Base
Nightfall

The first 20 minutes of the ONI video are me dying over and over during the first encounter, but it's one smooth playthrough after that :)

Also, for anyone who's interested, I've posted Mythic Guides for the missions I've completed on my website:

www.cruellegaceyproductions.com

My guides might be helpful to anyone who feels they're not up to the same skill level as some of the pros. I make A LOT of mistakes during my playthroughs, but thanks to the strategies suggested by the Mythic conquerors here in this forum, I still manage to make it through :)

Anyway, keep up the great work everyone!

ok, I am kinda new to this but... what did you do to that ultra in the first 10 seconds of oni? you like punched him or something, and then he looked away so you beat him down??


Ya, Tyrant's kind of a Ninja with that move :) I've never been able to pull it off as smoothly as he does. Check out my Oni Mythic Guide. You can see I don't nail it right away, but I just keep rotating around Ultra and smacking him until he drops.
One of the many reasons I gave up on Mythic long ago, I am any thing but ninja...

Or patient.


Being patient is the real key, for sure :)

Just read and watched your POA guide, Tyrant. Good job! RC Master gets credit for everything, doesn't he? :O

I'm amazed at the way you broke the first smelting room and the hunters; the one sequence was the bane of my life. It's really great to see how the strategies have evolved since I played the level. You can be assured I will be using these strategies when the POA "LASO" challenge comes round. :)

A special, mysterious guide for Lone Wolf next? Can't wait! That would be hilarious if you wrote something like, "You get overwhelmed in two seconds. Thanks for reading!"

Wait, how did I help on those three? Unless you're ghostin' it up at ONI I didn't come up with anything there.

GJ on the progress though but, it gets harder ;)

Tyrant, why were you using your DMR on the plasma launcher chieftan on the landing pad? Were you out for your needle rifle?

I just meant that I've been soaking up all kinds of great advice from you and Tyrant, regarding those levels in particular, but also general Mythic strategies.

Lots of other posters too, but you and Tyrant seem to be the 2 that I've learned the most from :)

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

ok this makes more sense, that battle would be really annoying. One time I ran out and I used the sniper to take him out. I don't remember how many shots it took but several body shots did the trick and seemed less aggravating than trying to headshot him while his sheilds recharged

Ok so I beat the level but I didn't get the challenge. I got through it ALL with all the skulls on. Can someone help me?

You said you used all skulls.

Lol, it's possible since the challenge does not require blind, that it also prohibits blind.

Well, just finished the ONI LASO challenge co-op, which was a ton less difficult and stressful than solo. It also reminded me how much I wouldn't want to do the level again. ,:/

I cleared the mission with all skulls, including blind, and got the challenge.

If you sign up for the group there is a thread that keeps track of the current top 3 times for each level.

It doesn't. I did it with blind. Must be some other issue.

I disagree. After getting the challenge by myself, I helped my Mythic-illiterate friend get it; I took me almost twice as long. It also made me realize how much I do not want to attempt Mythic co-op.

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.

Man, I just tried running New Alexandria using RC's banshee in the hospital method...

I guess I timed it horribly wrong, because it never teleported me out, and I was stuck inside, and the doors to outside were closed shut. So I ran back downstairs, as as soon as I went into the "Brute Hallway", ALL the brutes spawned, the Jump Jet Elite's spawned, the horde of Grunts spawned, and the Elite's in the spiral stair room spawned.

Can you say owned not only by bullets, but also by crazy framerate?

Did it happen to be the last jammer you were going to, by chance?

This very same thing happened to me when I tried it. It was kind of hilarious when the enemies were just appearing around me.

I tried to do it 4-player co-op at first and 2 of the people just wouldn't listen to the advice I gave. They kept using overcharge shots, and when we got to the wraith part they just kept running out and dying and causing the doors to close. I went back and did it with my one friend who actually listened and it went fairly smoothly although it did probably take a little bit longer it was nice not to have to worry so much about dying.
