Woohoo! Nightfall in 4:15!
Finally some progress!
Here's the film for the whole thing put together. I grabbed a plasma pistol from a grunt right at the start in case I needed to overcharge myself to pick up a healthpack. Didn't need it utimately. This new trick basically means theres only 2 enemies you need to kill in the entire level: The elite right at the start, and the Elite the bridge. You might want to throw a couple of grenades at the Grunt and Jackal immediately before the Gutas to get them off your tail. and I killed a few of the Grunts in the Guta area so I could plow straight through, but you don't need to.
Also, just before going down the ravine that least to the Guta area, I accidentally jumped on top of the cliff there. I checked it out; theres a push-back barrier not far from the edge, then a solid barrier just about where I dropped down. No walking over the top of the level unfortunately!
And yes, that was a Guta chasing me making all the noise!
At the Pylon area, you only really need kill the Elite on the bridge, like I said. I killed the grunt nearest the forklift just to play it safe, but I don't think you need to.
From there you just slide between the gates and run to the exit. The Phantom is waiting down over the cliff edge, but it never comes up. At the end, I take a speedrunning trick and jump on the rocks to end the level slightly early, but you don't need to.
Because of all the skipping, there is then a lag time for it to load the final cutscene properly, but it all works!
Easiest mission on Mythic? Nightfall!
