In attempting to complete the weekly LASO challenge, I randomly decided to do a Mythic run. And you know what? I did.
It was rather frustrating, but fulfilling unto itself. I now find every Covenant troop just as frustrating as the last (for different reasons). I am also very sad that I allowed myself to get armor lock'd trying to splatter that first Elite head on after jumping in the Revenant. After taking him out the first time, I guess I just got a taste for splattering him.
One thing of note:
Does destroying the fuel rod shades at the beginning signal the arrival of the pelican, or is it something else? I've had one shade operational and the pelican'll drop the 'hog, and I've had everything except the Elite dead and the pelican'll strafe in the air like there's some massive hazard still present, and a bunch of variants in-between. Did I just need to move up a little bit further or something?
Excellent work!
Not sure about the Pelican. Usually what I do is destroy both Shades, then move up the path far enough that I'm out of range of the other enemies. This seems to trigger the Pelican.
Oh, you guys don't know? I thought it was common knowledge, but I guess not, so I'll share.
The pelican is triggered by the deaths of the two operator grunts (the green grunts that have no helmets. They start in the turrets, I believe) The pelican will drop the hog when you move behind the rock close to the shade turret near the cliff. How do you think RC Master got the hog so fast?
EDIT: I tried TOTS today with a friend to get the challenge (well, to help him get the challenge. I can get in fine on my own). A couple of very noticeable differences in CLASO:
Both of you start with a grenade launcher with only four rounds and an assault rifle. Have killing the two operator grunts.
There are now three ultras at the base of the second Tyrant gun with one wielding an assault rifle. Have fun trying to splatter them.
The falcon ride is abysmally hard; both players get into the same falcon; one uses the grenade launcher on one side, the other uses the other one. You're now taking double the fire than on single-player Mythic. I was killed by a fuel rod from a turret on my friend's side. Even after many retries, we still couldn't get it. This is why I do not have the challenge yet.
This is also why I do not want to do co-op Mythic.
No wait...I might with you guys. Even if we don't complete the level, I imagine it's still a lot of fun, if you don't mind broken friendships.
