It has been done before. Keep in mind that I was the first in the world to beat Package on Mythic and it was without the Wraith :-)


Ahem...Tyrant, humility IS a virtue, y'know. :p


No it's not:

"Discard the protective rags of that vice which you call a virtue: humility-learn to value yourself, which means: to fight for your happiness-and when you learn that pride is the sum of all virtues, you will learn to live like a man...Humility is not a recognition of one's failings, but a rejection of morality. 'I am no good' is a statement that may be uttered only in the past tense. To say: 'I am no good' is to declare: '-and I never intend to be any better.'"

-Ayn Rand

What were we talking about again? Oh yeah, Mythic difficulty.

My point is that this week's challenge is worth more than half of the SLASO LNOS challenge; is this week's challenge more than half as hard as LNOS on SLASO?

Bungie thinks so.


Ayn Rand is a joke. Mythic people, please continue your humility. Let's not let this turn into the narcissism thread.

For those practicing Exodus, don't attempt Tyrant's jetpack jump to the FRG Chieftain. You can jetpack from the bottom of that tower to the middle, resting on a slight platform, then jetpack to the top from there with zero chance of falling to your death. Tyrant, if you can update your guide you should include this alternative.

*gasp* BLASPHEMY. >:(

The quote wasn't saying anything about narcissism anyway; it was saying you should take a justified pride in your legitimate accomplishments i.e. you shouldn't downplay them.

I'm with Eli. Humility is not saying one is worthless, nor is it not taking pride in one's work. It is simply moderating that pride so that it is not excessive, and thus not a vice at all.

Be very, very, very careful when you decide to cloak, people who are currently attemping Nightfall and Exodus (do any other levels have camo?).

Yes. New Alexandria... .. .


Did it make the level easier? I'm thinking I'll just sneak past everyone towards the jammers LOL.

Nightfall is relatively easy. The only hard parts are the last two shootouts, since the penultimate one is a mandatory fight and the last one, well...if you can make it through that without killing a single enemy, I'll be impressed.


I was digging through these threads from 6 months ago, and saw this.

Yeah, I don't dig Ayn Rand either. And that's the thing about humility: it moderates pride so that it does not turn into hubris: pride to an arrogant extreme. And I'm pretty certain the crowd here isn't comprised of insufferable arrogant braggarts. Besides, I was just teasing Tyrant. I bow to the mad skillz of him and any true Mythic conquerors.

They're making atlas shrugged into a movie...i never read it but I know my girlfriend liked it. That's the only thing I know about Ayn Rand, oh and also Burt Cooper from mad men really likes that book.

Also....something about mythic difficulty...see its on topic

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, it seems that people think I was telling people to be arrogant; it also seems that we use the word "humilty" differently.

In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "humility" is defined as "the quality of state of being humble: not proud, ranking low in hierarchy or scale; insignificant."

So, when someone suggested that we should be humble, my instinctive response was "No, you should take a justified, legitimate pride in your work!", but I guess people were using "humble" to mean "justified pride, not arrogance"; that's what I meant exactly. People shouldn't be arrogant; arrogance implies an unjustified feeling or hubris. So what I'm saying is:

If someone does something great like say, for, example, RC Master completes Tip of the Spear in twelve minutes, he should come here and say "Look how fast I finished this level, guys! Isn't it great? I bet no one is as fast as I am!" He should not say "Aw shucks, guys, it was nothing; it's stupid really."

See, this post is Mythic related.

But, as much as I like Ayn Rand, I do have to admit she used words in an extremely literal manner e.g. the literal definition of selfish is "concern for one's own interest". Therefore, selfish=good. The only problem is that most people use the word "selfish" to mean "concern for one's own interest, at the expense of other people."

Yes, I saw that video and it is exactly the jump that I'm reminding novices about. People keep commenting that they are scared of Tyrant's crazy gap jump; would be a shame if they weren't aware that a much easier path exists.

See I mentioned the word Mythic, therefore it's on topic :P

Proper on topic however, I'm gonna give PoA a go tonight after I'm done with my Uni exams. The fact that the exams are on a saturday however is greatly confusing, irritating and disappointing.

Ok, then I guess the route was independently discovered by both of us.

Just to be clear. :-\

There are a lot of great theories nowadays; do we need a 2.0 Mythic guide?

All I know is that Tyrant likely wouldn't write it anymore. It'd have to be a community collaboration and taken rather seriously.

I'm irritated. After playing TotS a bazillion times with 11 skulls and few problems, now that I'm going all 13, I can't get the Wraiths to suicide, or even drive against the rock anymore. At least one is always waiting for me with a heat seeking cannon. Grrr...


Turning on all skulls activates a hidden 14th skull.
The effects enable everything to go completely random and things that shouldn't happen, happen.


I truly hope that was a joke. It is a joke, right?


It sure seems true.


Yeah, I die of something stupid every game. I've been to the last Elite several times and something random always happens. Last time I cleared all the grunts and had my plasma pistol ready and a freaking Banshee decided to fly over and shoot me. Sigh.

Well looks like I'll do my Mythic run on Exodus next week, then I get payed for it. My last try ended in me running out of ammo, then having some more Brutes and a couple Skirmishers attack. I should have brought some Plasma Pistols and a full Needler out of the first area.

Will queue for download when it's available.

Also, you have any tips for killing that damn FRG chief on PoA? Everything is smooth as silk now (finally nailed the concussion jump with the bubble shield method), yet that FRG chief always, ALWAYS gets the better of me. Very frustrating >:/

Mythodus in 20:11! (film)

This brings our combined lowest times for Mythic to 2:59:50!

I knew we could do it under 3 hours! Yayay!

In hindsight, there were a couple of spots that I messed up. For example, in the approach to the elevator, I should have taken a bit more pistol ammo from the lowest floor. That cost me a few seconds when I had to deal with the Grunts and Jackals next to the elevator with a plasma pistol. Also, when attacking the landing pad at traxus tower, I didn't actually move across the entrance way of the building until the fight with the minor brutes was basically over, which cost me a few seconds when I had to wait for the Phantom which held the Hammer Captain.

On the plus side, I was fairly pleased with how my sniping went. The grenade+jetpack jump went perfectly, and the Brutes inside the landing pad building were cooperative enough for some easy sticks. Also, thankfully, the Wraiths weren't feeling ridiculously accurate today and I managed to squeeze through to the buttons with my mongoose and camo combo.

How did I deal with him? Did I get lucky with a dropped PP?

If you don't get one of those, my plan was to loop around him near the edge of the platform and grab a Grenade Launcher from the shack, then use that for the functions of the PP from the other end of that centre platform. Then DMR his hat off. You could try and grab the Sniper on top of the shack for quicker de-hatting, though he might rush you while you're going up there...

I was just playing a little Winter Contingency and I found it is in fact possible to kill the data pad elite, even on Mythic. Go ahead: try it.

Also, I remember seeing a video where someone assassinated the concussion zealot right at the beginning of the relay station section by running up the left. I can't seem to be able to reproduce this trick. Any suggestions?

It's funny how much detail went into the game. For example, one of the tools used for measuring distances in the binoculars for the Spartans says something about 90 degrees...

...seriously? Five hundred years in the future and we're still using that ancient Babylonian measuring system? I would think as a society, we would've moved on by then to something more modern, say, radians. Or, if you don't like those pesky irrational numbers, why not gradians?

Was it this one? It was pure luck in that clip. I've tried to reproduce it but couldn't with any reliability, including going for the assassination straight after making him grenade dodge.

In fact I did manage that during today's LD Winter challenge but only just scraped away with a few bars of health.

Well I've conquered the Exodus LASO challenge. The initial jet-pack scenario was a little difficult. It's right after you get the initial jet-pack. I flew from pad to pad then flew to a to the bottom of the building to avoid all the covenants. So I'm doing pretty good and I'm getting ready to fly back up and hammer past the grunt once I got to the top. I wait for the covenant up top to be distracted by marines up top, but apparently they all died. So they were all waiting for me to fly up. And the Brute at the top sees me and throws plasma grenades down on me.

Clearing the landing pad was much easier for me than in Tyrant's video. All the brutes and grunts kept going to the turret area so I never even had to leave that top area. Even the hammer brute wandered out there AND into a cluster of jackals. So I figured this was a perfect opportunity to put a dent in his and the jackals' lives. I windup blowing him and some of the jackals clear off the landing for some easy kills.

One tip I have for anyone trying this challenge is to make sure that make sure that when you activate the second gun, make sure you haul butt as quick as possible in the dune buggy. If not, within a 10 seconds you'll be destroyed by some needle rifle packing skirmishers. I found it amazing how easily that no one notices you when they just saw you and then you turn on camo. I got spotted by the brute and grunts after I hopped off the dune buggy but as soon as I turned on the camo, they started acting like I was never there.
