I'm going back to Uni today, and associated studying starts Monday, so my game time will be severely reduced, and I may not get to complete any more levels until December. When I get time, I'll write up all I know about Mythic-ing Reach. Specifically: New Alexandria, Tip of the Spear, and a few tricks on PoA to finish up.


Don't you only have two more levels left to do?

I think I can win now :).

Actually that's me with 2 left. And don't worry, I'm still actively trying to beat LNoS and PoA :)

Package isn't bad at all, though I've heard mixed things about Exodus.

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

For some reason I can't glitch through the gate on Nightfall at all despite getting Forky as close as possible. :-(

In other news: Whilst doing today's daily challenge (complete 1 mission on Heroic with Thunderstorm + Mythic active) I noticed that a Jackal's health is directly connected to his shield. I was trying to drain one's shield with a plasma rifle and he dies as soon as the shield overloaded. Ditto with a PP overcharge.
I doubt it'll be of much use on Mythic, but just thought I'd put it out there.

Lol, I never got past Cortana in H3. Or even tried ODST. But I suppose I'll give them, as well as Reach, a new chance sometime.

What a clever and cool way to get the achievement. I got mine on The Package, during the part when you hold off in front of the lab. That doesn't look too hard, you just jetpack down and then assassinate an elite. I would try it, but I already have an officer code, I'll let someone else grab it :).

I think you have to position the forklift so that your character glitches "between" the gate, not through it. There's actually two doors for the gate, you have to "squeeze" between them.

You don't have to look at your shadow anymore to see your weapon. Just hold the "back" button. You see your current weapon and your armor ability. I think it breaks the flow of gameplay less than looking at your shadow. It's not that great of a tip, but I hope it helps.

EDIT: Also, I'm on Tip of The Spear. It's easy except for the second AA gun. I mean, I can destroy it no problem, but then killing the Hunters with the revenant, well hunters don't die to the revenant (they do, but it takes impractically long). A single hunter can shrug off two full plasma launchers. My plan is to jack the wraith immediately to the right, but it doesn't spawn all the time.

Speaking of which, does anyone have tips for commandeering wraiths? When I hop onto them and beat the -blam!- out of them, the wraith explodes before the driver himself dies.

Tyrant, I found with ONI Sword base, if you kill all the grunts and the jackals first, the elites will fall back to a very well fortified position, making it almost impossible to assassinate them. I suggest killing all grunts, but leaving a few jackals alive. Then you can assasinate the elites when they're distracted by Kit Kat.

Well, you're one level ahead of me. May I ask why you chose to skip LNOS to work on Exodus?

Today, I learned the hard way that the wraith mortars falling around the zealot on Tip of the Spear, can and will kill you. I was pretty surprised when it happened.

I also hate, HATE hunters.

Exodus is a lot easier compared to LNoS.
People have completed Exodus and nobody has done LNoS yet, so I presume its easier anyway.

Also for the Zealot bit, watch my run and see how I skip it.

Reach was indeed too easy on Legendary, even with Iron on.
It had a few hard parts but not enough to make it extremely challenging.

I'm very willing to take this on.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Staff Writer and speedrun record holder at highspeedhalo.net

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!

Here is my Mythic New Alexandria film.

Let me guide you through it:

First things first; get comfortable with the Falcon on lower difficulties (like Legendary!). Specifically: not getting shot by the Banshees. The majority of your time on this level will be spent navigating the skies, while simultaneously defending your self from endless (yes, they are infinite) waves of Banshees patrolling the city.

A few tips: As always, distance is the best barrier you can put between yourself and the banshees. Beyond a certain distance (i guess 200m) they simply won't shoot. Slightly closer, they will shoot, but its highly inaccurate. When they get within a threat range, you start needing to do some fancy stuff. Bank hard to the left or right (depending upon if you're slightly to their left or right already) and climb or descend (depending upon if you're slightly above or below them already) to throw off their aim and circling around them. Generally they won't turn as fast as you can bank, so you'll get some breathing space. Of course, lay into them with your main gun as much as possible as soon as you see them.

When your gunners get close enough to see/hit the banshees, they're actually pretty efficient at taking them down. So try to face enemies as much as possible to give your gunners a shot on them.

When flying aroud, with cloud/blind on, your gunners are your immediate vincinity peripheral vision. You should always be actively scanning the skies for signs of incoming Banshees, but should you miss one, their fire will give you a couple of seconds early warning before you really start to get messed up by the Banshees.

Many of the rooftops have Shades planted on them, so be wary about gaining altitude (just above the height of a rooftop) in close proximity to a building. They're static though, with slow projectiles, which have limited range, so as long as you stay aware, they shouldn't be too much trouble. Banking left or right while backing up should keep you from getting hit.

Phantoms usually fly around at pretty low altitudes through the city, and they just go from A to B, they're not interested in you, so you shouldn't really be worried about them at all.

Ok, so there are 3 main jammers you have to take out: The Hospital, Sinoviet Industries (Reflection/Ivory Tower) and the Vyrant Tower(Club Errera).

Theres a peice of equipment in SinoViet that'll make the other two a lot easier: Active Camo. But, since these are random, we'd have to be pretty lucky to get that first.

Don't worry, we'll make ourselves lucky.

Load the level, get in your Falcon, fly around for a bit, and when the first Jammer dialogue hits, listen for 'Mayday, Mayday.' If you hear that, you're good to go: head straight for Sinoviet Industries.

If not, hit start and save and quit. Reset it to the start of the level and try again until you get SinoViet Industries first.

Simples.

Approaching SinoViet, most people think you have to take out the shades and land on the South landing pad, then make your way up the series of stairs to the elevator taking out a bunch of bad guys. HA! Those people are newbs!

Approach the building from the North-East corner. Around the level of the landing pad, and look up. You should see some beams connecting the stair assembly to an outer structure that encloses the elevator and stairway area. Between the most Northern beam and the circular enclosure structure, there is more than enough space to fly your Falcon straight up into the stair way area. Rain death from above!

Your first target should be the Focus Rifle Jackal to the left and one terrace down from where you've just come up. He's the only one (usually) competant enough to actually still hit you. Once he's down, just clean up the rest of the enemies, and land right in front of the elevator.

Remember which one you take up, this'll be the same one you'll be taking down (though, you don't have to, you can call the other elevator to you when you reach the top, though this'll waste time).

Once you're up the Ivory Tower, grab the Rocket Launcher and the spare ammo (video will show you were it is if you don't know) and top up on any extra DMR you may need. Then, weapon-swap the active camo from the crate on the right lower side of the room (as you enter) to right in front of your elevator of choice. NOT inside the elevator, as this will render it unusable. Make sure you have sprint equipped. Whack the jammer, sprint down the centre hallway from the jammer then hang a right or left towards your elevator of choice. You should get off two full bursts (remember to count off your 4 second cooldown in between) to get you right to the elevator. Grab a healthpack if you need it (though you often won't) switch to camo, get in the elevator and push the button.

Next is a random location objective, that you'll need to refer to my (slightly incomplete) guide on page 12 to it find easily.

Next objective could either be Vyrant or the Hospital. I'll talk about Vyrant Tower first.

The enemies outside aren't too much trouble, just strafe from left to right to get good angles on the ones hiding behind the pillars. Watch out for Banshees mobbing your rear as you're doing this though; I often encountered a lot.

Replace your DMR for the Needle Rifles of the two Jackals temporarily, and use it, in combination with camo, to hit the back of one of the Hunters on the dancefloor. Keeping super-combining into their fleshy back until you run out of ammo. By this point, the Hunter's back armour should have been long exposed. Take your Rocket Launcher and take 1 shot at a time into their back. Wait until it charges its weapon, as this will mean it will stay still. They can be a bit fidgety otherwise and you don't want to waste your ammo. Hopefully after this barrage the Hunter in question will be dead. If not, there are extra rockets in the centre of the dancefloor and an extra Needle Rifle at the bottom of the stairs on the left side of the Club which lead to the jammer. If this is still not enough, shoot them with your DMR, there are extra rounds near the bar on the right side of the club.

You only need 1 of the dancefloor Hunters dead, so don't divide your attention/ammo with fighting the other ones.

Once they are dead, the hunter at the top which is on the same side as the one you killed will lumber down the stairs to take their place on the dancefloor tango-ing with the troopers at the back.

Once they're down there, you'll have an entire stairway clear to the jammer. Camo up the stairs to the jammer and hide behind one of the pillars there briefly to recharge your camo (from full deplete, this will take around 15 seconds). Then camo over to the Jammer and activate it. As demonstrated in my video, while it is useful if the other Hunter is still distracted by Troopers, it is not required, as from this distance they won't notice a crouch-walking active-camoed Spartan at all. Once thats done, use whatever camo you have left to head back down the stairs to the bar areas (the Hunters on the dancefloor can and will shoot you otherwise). If you feel the need, let your camo recharge here, then use it to cover your run to the exit.

One note: if you need health, grab it from one of the first floor stations NOW, as once you get to the exit, the two healthpacks in the enxtrance room will de-load.

If you have any Needle Rifle ammo left, take it and your DMR and proceed to the Hospital. The NR is particularly devastating against the Brutes you will encounter on your way in.

The Hospital:
This tough area is the main reason we brought camo from SinoViet in the first place. And it has multiple uses here, including making a couple of the toughest fights (the Ranger Elites and the Concussion-weilding Ultra) a peice of cake.

Enter, crouched, camo activated into the hospital. You should be able to assassinate 3/4 sleeping Grunts here no problem. There is sometimes one next to the left pillar as you enter that is unnaffected by the Engineer's super-shield pulses, and he is the most fidgety, take him out first.

Occasionaly, the grunts from the level below you will come up the spiral staircase and ruin your fun. If they do, you'll have to back out, and reenter camoed, and take your DMR shots in between the Engineer's shield pulses.

Next target is the Engineer itself. The quickest way to kill it is with two DMR headshots. One to knock off its cap, one to explode it. Failing that, unload most of a DMR magazine, or two Needle Rifle Super-combines into it to kill it.

After that, slowly make your way down the series of stairs making liberal use of Camo to scout and to get shots on target with relative impunity. Move around near the walls, camo, and move the edge and shoot the Covenant over it. Shouldn't even need a healthpack.

The Brute at the bottom, if you've managed to secure a Needle Rifle from Club Errera, use it now, if not, you should have plenty of DMR ammo. Peak over the edge just so his head is showing. He won't be able to get you back regardless of whether you're camoed or not.

Take his NR and use it on the next brutes until it runs dry. Again making use of camo to catch them unawares. Then back to DMR. Be sure to take out the Engineer ASAP, usually just before the bridge.

*continues*

EDIT: fixed a few errors.

*continued from above*

With them dispatched, stock up on any DMR ammo and NR ammo you feel like. If you've already been to Club Errera, and are still packing a Rocket Launcher, have that on you now too. There should be some Troopers still alive that were fighting the Brutes. Round up any live ones and get them to trigger the 'jammer's right over here' dialogue. Then lead the back to the stair well. There they will stay. They are an important distraction.

If there are no mobile ones, there should be an injured one or two laying the floor. Unfortunately you're gonna have to do this the hard way and push them back to the stairwell yourself. I like to leave them on the first wooden ramp. Arm them better if you wish, though its not neccessary; they'll die pretty soon anyway.

Get back to the Jammer and activate it. You should notice as you move back up the corridor that the Jetpack/Ranger Elites don't come towards you. This is good, this means your Trooper distraction worked. Get back in sight of the stair well, and if you have any rockets left, now is the time to use them on the Rangers while they are all bunched up (with camo activated to cover your approach). If not, just headshot the two NR Skirmishers and let the Rangers go upstairs.

The only target left down here should be the Concussion Rifle Ultra. Assassination time! He usually hangs out over by the right side of the area (as you're facing it from the jammer hallway). So use your camo to sneak around behind the two walls to the left, then sneak up behind him in front of the ramp and take him out. Remember: you only have about 25 seconds of crouch-walk time so take a break behind one of the pillars for it to recharge if you feel you're cutting it close.

Head upstairs, running cammoed to the right and hide behind the feature there. Look across to where the Rangers and (usually) two more NR skirmishers are hanging out. Sine the Skirmishers have the greatest range, we want to take them out for our rush upstairs. Be patient, wait till they come in view and take them out with a headshot.

Now, for the crucial moment: We're gonna run from here, behind this feature, to the ramp to the next level, jump on the railing, then jump to the little planter to the right, turn to the right (away from the rangers and towards the two AAs in the crate) then around and straight up the ramp opposite the ones the rangers are at. As insurance, you're gonna want full health and shields for this, there are two on the level below you, and one to your left in between you and the fist ramp. Take one. Then wait until an opening where the majority of the Rangers are hanging out away from the first ramp you need to jump up. Camo, then RUN. Don't engage, straight up the ramp, unto the railing about half way up then to the planter and turn right to the second ramp to the top floor.

If you're in trouble, there is a Drop Shield in the crate of AAs than you can grab and drop to at least recharge your health. There should also be an extra healthpack around (if you haven't used it) in between the ramp you just came up and the one to the top floor. Though most of the time you won't need it.

Head up the final ramp, and you're home free (just about).

If this was your last jammer, head to ONI, Olympic Tower. If not, finish up Club Errera (that you should have left your rockets for at the entrance to the Hospital).

At Olympic Tower; stay high, hover over the tower and bombard the Shades from a distance. If any Banshees get too interested (you'll usually get an early warning by watching for any ones that are approaching your altitude) take them out; you don't want to fail here! Once all six Shades are down; thats it! The rest of the enemies will scatter, no need to deal with them.

Land and you're done!

*phew*

EDIT: Fixed a few errors.
Hope this text and associated video will help some of you guys. It really wasn't too bad of a mission once you've got a plan formulated. Just flying around can be tedious and time-consuming.

Oh, one final note: The healthpack on the wall in between the two elevators at SinoViet should stay indefinitely. Use it if you're getting beat up.

And if your Falcon is getting beat up; call in for a fresh one! Theres no penalty for it.

Good luck. Maybe tomorrow I'll tell you guys about Tip of the Spear and how stupidly hard you guys are making it for yourself :P

No, I tried that. The zealot and four grunts still spawn. That's ok, I never found that battle tough anyway. The zealot runs away when you get close. My problem is with those damn hunters.

Jeez, nice writeup RC Master. You do a good job describing things to us even though every building looks the same.

EDIT: Just tried it now. The zealot does spawn, but you can easily sprint past him. Now my only problem is with the hunters. If the second wraith doesn't spawn, I spend thirty minutes each plugging them with revenant mortars. If it does spawn, I have to board it, bash the hatch open, jump off it, plasma pistol emp it so I can jump back on, then shoot plasma pistol rounds at the driver until his shield falls and then pop him in the head with my DMR. All the while I hope like hell the other wraith doesn't kill me.

And RC Master, because your guide was well written and you didn't have to write it; you did it solely for us, I'll excuse the fact that you referred to the DMR magazine as a "clip."

No problem. :)

After seeing Dark's run of Tip of the Spear, there are a few things there I did not know about. Like; WHY DID I NOT KNOW YOU CAN KILL THE TYRANT GUNS BY ROCKETING OR REVENANTING THE GUN PART!? Ugh, damn. I thought only the Scorpian could do that - and didn't even know that until my GF told me!

This information does make this level a few notches easier and quicker though. I'll re-run it with these new tactics so as not to bore you guys with over-long fighting. Then I'll talk you through the refinery skip (you'll kick yourselves when you see it; its so easy!).

Twenty-ninth Halo 3 Mythic Conqueror
Eleventh Halo 3: ODST Mythic Conqueror
Fifth Halo: Reach Mythic Conqueror

I hate to admit it, but the revenant mortar sucks on mythic.

I just had the worst run ever. Got the the second AA gun like I always do. Tried to kill the hunters, but they remained very resolute. After a while, the falcon lands anyway and the hunters start to shoot at it. I was there for about ten minutes trying to kill the hunters. I got one, then I tried to kill the other one to no avail. So I figured since the falcon got knocked quite a bit away from the hunters, I thought I could jump in and GTFO. When I got to the falcon, the ultra was standing right next to the cockpit with his weapon holstered. I killed him, then jumped onto the falcon's gun. Jorge said something about nasty business in the canyon ahead and the falcon music began to play. I thought I was finally going to finish the level...

Turns out the ultra jacked the falcon and the thing wouldn't fly. I was pissed. I shot the grenade launcher chaotically hoping it would take off. I finally blew myself up out of rage. As the swirly death cam circled around my dead body, I watched Kat jump into the cockpit and the falcon flew away...

If I had only waited a few seconds longer, I might've been done by now. It's not a hard level, I just get very unlucky.

EDIT: Finished TOTS. This level was not hard. I thought it was easy as Winter Contingency.

Let's see, what do I have next. Oh...oh god. Long Night of Solace...

I don't remember that level being that hard on regular legendary. Maybe it's like Cortana in Halo 3; people think it's hard and it is, but not impossibly hard.

I hope...

If it is retardedly difficult, at least I can say something like, "Long Night of Solace? Pfft, yeah right. More like 'Long Night of Red Bull, Dr. Pepper, and a few controllers broken from throwing them at the TV. Also, no sex.'"

But seriously, "Long Night of Solace?" Is Bungie making fun of the mythicers now?

Yeah LNoS is pretty evil. Especially when you get into the corvette. Trust me, you'll be spending a while trying to get it done.

Exact same happened to me. Even worse things have happened on Exodus...
I got to the definition of THE END of the mission, I activated the missiles, screen starts to fade to black. BAM, Hammer in the back. Ending cutscene starts.. black screen... starting cutscene starts.
I sacrifice a small child.
