There is no Mythic ending we know of, but I remember our first conqueror said he's was going to try beating POA without scoring to see if there was an ending; we haven't heard back.

Legendary smile did go back without scoring to see if there was a Mythic ending and there was unfortunately not.

You spent three hours sitting in the mass driver; how is that fun? Is it really worth the medal? I was doing it one handed for a lot of the time!

;)

ITT: We discuss RC's gaming 'habits'.

Jks, jks :P

RC jerks off.

Sorry, too late?

Oh you're never too late for this topic of discussion ;)

Why?

Because to some of us you're constant enthusiasm towards beating your previous times can seem masochistic. To you, speedrunning's no big deal, but to some of us it's like "Why are you constantly going through the torture that is Mythic? And speedrunning it to boot!?"

That's what I think Michael's getting at at any rate.

This is only the second time I've actually completed PoA on Mythic proper. I mean, c'mon, my previous time was 1 hour 25 minutes! That looks awful. Plus a lot more tricks and shortcuts have been discovered since I did it then. Just keeping up with the times you know?

There are frustrating moments, granted, but Mythic is something that gets easier with experience. Like Legendary. 6 months ago I was like 'OMFG assassinate an ultra no wai!' but now its almost routine.

Playing through the campaign normally, on lesser difficulties quickly loses its appeal for me, and Multiplayer can get very frustrating at times. Playing to try and beat my time, on high difficulties, gives me something to shoot for. Keeps me focused and in flow.

Ya know that feeling you get when you first complete a level on Mythic? I get that feeling all over again when I smash my time. That mix between relief and 'OH YEAH I'm AWESOME -blam!-ES!!!'

Maybe that makes me an adrenaline junkie, but I'm not a masochist. :P


EDIT: our total time for Mythic now stands at 3 hours, 14 minutes, 50 seconds. I reckon we can get it under 3. 10 minutes can come off LNoS, and a few minutes from Exodus and then.... we'll see.

The ones were I'm really behind the *ahem* times are Exodus and Package, I need to cut like 30 minutes off of those to get up to par. Though I'm wondering whether to concentrate on the long night since it might show up next week....

It's true that Mythic gets easier over time. I suppose it's just constant exposure to it that makes it easier. Say I were to try LNoS right now, I'd probably die getting onto the corvette, cause it just happens.

Though the adrenaline's good I prefer to not freak out constantly when playing. Everything in moderation.

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,

Wait, are they removing iron for this challenge as well? Geez, people must sure love whining about how hard LASO is.

  • 03.31.2011 7:51 PM PDT

Ok so when i got up to the hospital on New Alexandia and all the way to when the ranger elites come but they just stayed in the lobby of the hospital so i was killed trying to fight them in the lobby.
Why didnt they come into the corridor like usual?

  • 03.31.2011 8:08 PM PDT

People can Save & Quit for these challenges, which basically means they can play without having to deal with the effects of Iron.

I didn't use that trick for the previous ones, but I will have to for this. I don't have the mad skills you guys have. After that, I'm doing 'em legit.

Sadface... oh well, perhaps these challenges will spur on more interest in people playing FULL Mythic. Who's in the run for the next conqueror? How close are they? I cannot wait for next week's challenge... The forum is going to explode with complaints :D

Tyrant, I'll be free later tonight for dub mythic if you're on.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm getting very mad at this forum. I've switched between Mythic and Legendary member about 5 times in the past month.

You probably led the troopers into the stairwell. Their presence will keep the Rangers in there, and eventually, they'll move upstairs.


I do kinda hope its long night next week. Its going to be SOO funny for all the people in the know watching all the people who don't know suffer through the same frustrations as we went through.

  • 04.01.2011 1:27 PM PDT

Just had a good Exodus run going but died during the Falcon ride. Shot at the first two Brutes briefly then went for the 3rd guy further back with the repeater. Those first two rid my sheilds and the other one finished me off. Damn.

Getting better at everything leading up to that point at least. Got lucky with the massive jetpack leap - I actually dropped just shy but landed on some tiny ledge along the wall only just below the top, and was able to quickly hop back up from there and continue in for the assasination.

RC, do you think the concussion rifle jump up to the mass driver is a viable strategy for Mythic?

  • 04.01.2011 7:26 PM PDT

Halo Reach - Make a prequel to the fight.
Halo CE - Begin the fight.
Halo 2 - Continue the fight.
Halo 3 - Finish the fight.
Halo 4 - Start a new fight.

I share RC's feelings on the matter and I can say no. I prefer the term: Schadenfreude.

At least I, and most other conquerors even though they might not admit it, will have our sense of superiority once again, raised.

  • 04.01.2011 8:09 PM PDT

Actually they'll have an advantage. People like me have done their research and found this thread and downloaded the videos from the first page. Those movies typically don't have all the shortcuts people find 3 or 4 days into the week. So now I've done it the way that takes an blue while they've done it a new shorter way that takes 30 minutes.

Usually the uninformed will try a Laso challenge, get destroyed the first few minutes of the stage and give up totally on the challenge.
