it can be done with 4 people, but you need precise timing and no lag so you cam destroy the aa guns and hit the switches at the same time.
I also thought it was impossible but remembered that someone made a thread about it a while ago

  • 04.04.2011 5:51 PM PDT

for "Mythic difficulty" do you need to have the blind skull on?

cuz I just did the LNoS weekly challenge, obviously without the blind skull.

for mythic, you need to have blind on, and you cannot save and quit (each mission must be done in one sitting). Also, no deaths. On solo this doesn't really matter as Iron will reset you to the start of the level (though it's better to quit and start over so your film only contains your good run) but on co-op it means you have to manually quit and restart the level each time one of you dies.

i've gotten all the mythic challenges up to this point so LNoS shouldn't be that hard or any other the other maps for that matter


I remember when I thought this exact thing... Then again we didn't have any glitches or rocket-gathering strategies when I did it.

Some time ago, there was discussion in this topic about ways to figure out if someone beat the mission legit just from the carnage report. In the end, no one had figured out a way to 100% confirm legitimacy without a film. But there was one statistic you missed, one so outside the box, so against your preconceptions caused by circular logic, that you didn't even think about it.

Deaths.

Yes, deaths. If we see a carnage report with 13 skulls on, multiple deaths and the mission completed, we know that the person finished the level legit. With multiple deaths, we know that the player had to die, respawn, and die again. And due to Iron, that respawn happened in the beginning of the level.

Due to this discovery, life will become easier for everyone. Players no longer have to waste time going into the main menu every time they die in order to produce a clean saved film. Authorities no longer need to download and watch films; a mere check on bungie.net will be enough. And people who don't want change can keep doing what they did before.

Edit: I just beat LNoS on Mythic!

I tried getting full rockets. You failed to mention that the dropships drop 3 elites each time! So here i am, my marines all dead, i run out to pick up the rockets, and i get attacked by about 8 elites from 3 angles. Had to take the drop shield to protect myself, then i picked up sprint again and my drop shield despawned!

Good times.


Haha.

There's actually an easier way to get the rockets that involves hijacking the Wraith and setting up barricades so the Elites can't get to you. I'll see if I can get a video together today.


I use my rocket gathering method in my video I've got uploaded to YouTube. Just skip to about 1:30 to see the method in action.

Arg, another Exodus complete in two parts, again its a combo of the first 2 and the 3rd brute at the start of the falcon ride that killed me. Should I always be shooting at those first two, or only if they seem to notice me? Any other tips?

Leave the first two alone if they don't notice you. I didn't realise this for a long time, but after watching other people's runs and trying it for myself, just leave those first two alone if they don't notice you and go for the 3rd with the plasma repeater.

Exodus done! That feels good. Thanks for the tip RC for those Brutes, worked a charm.

I almost stuffed it right at the end - as I went to creep in to press the button, I saw the FRG/Hammer guys all right there, and panicked big time. Turned around and ran away... without sprint ofcourse... Somehow made it out of the danger zone, grabbed the wraith, and, well, doubled my game time up until that point probably, hah. Eventually killed every single one and put an end to it! Stats (I am planning on getting Gold soon, then I can finally get my films up too)

Look forward to having another bash at this one down the track to get it with a clean end. But now, onto practicing LNOS!

Well... thanks mate! Helped me with the challenge at least. I actually did it all on my own but halfway through I remembered your guide hah. So I followed your advice on the crate parts and the pelican gun (crazy!). Both were lifesavers haha.

I didn't stock up on enough rockets in the first part...I only have 3, I can barely enter the corvette without getting killed...fail.

Technically, you need only four rockets for the four rangers that will stay below; the first two will come up to where the sabers are and you simply melee those with the sword (you did bring the sword with you, right?).

You have to hit the rangers dead on with the rockets. So you gotta be sure you kill the first three with the rounds you have. More often than not, the fourth ranger WILL NOT come up to the rafter where you'd be hiding as suggested by Tyrant. You'll have to lure him to your position so that you can either melee bash him with the sword. So all doesn't seem to be lost yet in your case.

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

If you're a dead shot, you can get away with three rockets, and still make it through the comms room just fine, but today for giggles I'm going to see how tough it is to enter the room with only two rockets while using the sword to kill the two surviving Rangers.

That's what I do. Made to the bridge in just under thirty minutes then died.
I hate this mission.

I've only really got thursday and friday to try and knock out the weekly; got another 9-5 day of my uni group design project tomorrow, got a job interview thursday afternoon, and have to work on my computer games studies essay that's due this coming monday.

I really want to get this done too cause I don't like my old 1:50:00 or whatever run just stinking up my fileshare.

What are we supposed to be discussing here Shepard?

Can someone help me out on Long Night of Solace LASO? I've tried it 4-5 times solo using the guide but no luck. (I hate Ultras for the rest of my life now.)

And if you do want to help me out my GT is : CaptainXChaosX. I warn you I have no mic so thats probably a deal breaker for everyone here.

Tyrant, I watched the ODST legendary guide interview, and I gotta ask. Why were you wearing one black glove? Is this some sort of Michael Jackson homage? Did your robotic hand get shot while trying to free princess Leia from Jabba's palace? What's the deal?

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Did it without rockets. I saw your video, Shadow, and didn't really want to spend 15 minutes fighting two Elites.

lol. Believe it or not, it's due to a real motorcycle injury.

However, there is a reason why I chose black rather than the tan one prescribed by the doctor. You'll find out why soon enough ;-)
