Yes, but these skips are very necessary. With all the skulls on, there simply isn't enough ammo to take down every enemy.

It's very possible to kill all enemies. Believe it or not, there was a point (brief mind you) where Mythic Nightfall was done WITHOUT the forklift glitch.

  • 04.24.2011 1:35 PM PDT

Before checking your guide my buddy and I always gave up night fall after getting owned by the three shades after we wait for Jun to open the door... Every we found died... Except a bob escaped....

After our second time giving up.. 2 plus hours into it each time, we read your guide/ watched videos and bam, we did it.... Though I would like to see a guide on getting past that part without using the glitch... Nightfall has so many interesting spots that running past them was my last resort... I imagine using the plasma cannon and the rockets I could have gotten past those last shades, but oh man...

Without the guide my buddy might not of wanted to continue doing laso, at least we have a backup if we can't figure it out ourselves. Thanks.

For whatever reason, Nightfall still spawns the enemies in co-op after forklifting the door. Strange...

I definitely think its possible considering all infantry enemies (grunts and jackals) can be taken out with PPs fairly easily and they always drop more.

Yeah, that happened to me too a few days ago when playing that level on a daily challenge. After doing the forklift glitch and moving away from the door, I backtracked to it to look for more sniper ammo or whatever. The door then opened, spawning the hunters plus all enemies that were supposed to spawn had things proceeded as usual.

In co-op if you have one player stand right at the gap where the bridge meets the ground on the starting side the enemies whould not spawn. (If done correctly that is)

Yeah, on second thought, it could very well be done with time and patience. However, I shudder at the thoughts of Exodus without it's jetpack skips, New Alexandria's club room with all the fuel rod grunts, etc. However, it would present a nice challenge...

Maybe...or maybe not :P I got mad enough while trying to it with skips. I remember when a Wraith took me out in mid-air, and I was pretty far away from it. Dark got mad.

Ok guys, Portal (I haven't played Portal 2) was an amazing game, but for me, it became stale through too much quoting. Every time someone says "the cake is a lie", the game loses a little bit of status in my eyes. The same goes for the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

So, what I'm saying is try to keep the quoting down to a minimum so the game stays fresh. Just a suggestion. Obviously, I can't make you stop, but I'm saying this as friend.

ON TOPIC:

Aww...no under-paying LASO challenge this week? That sucks.

The challenge that they have instead can -blam!- right off.

Tyrant, you should complete the Campaign LASO without firing a single shot. (Classic Difficulty)

Places where it's absolutely required to fire a shot (Such as the MAC Cannon on The Pillar of Autumn) do not count.


I honestly have no desire to do that...

What's wrong? Not up to the challenge?

The same reason I won't take on Halo 2 on Legendary with all skulls activated. There comes a point where it goes from being challenging to tedious and no fun. You know why I don't participate in grind challenges? Not because they're challenging. Because I don't enjoy them. I could care less about credits, and I don't want my gaming experience to feel like a second job. That's how I feel about this "classic difficulty". Why do it if I won't enjoy it?

Your reference was confusing the hell outta me until I recalled who voiced Cave Johnson. It definitely sounds that JK and the rest of the cast were having a blast while recording their lines.

I had decided to sit out Portal 2 and the only game I wanted to buy this year was Mass Effect 3. Like a weaksauce New Year's resolution, I think I'm changing my tune in that regard. :p

Thanks Tyrant. A new challenge like Classic LASO would've driven many of us right into the nearest nuthouse.

Absolutely . There's a (sometimes hard to discern) difference between "insanely challenging" and "deliberately wasting your time;" the game "I Wanna Be That Guy" is an example of the former; "Zork", and from what I hear, "Demon's Souls", are examples of the latter.

In theory, Halo 2 Mythic wouldn't be that bad since the Iron Skull doesn't revert you back to the beginning of the level (although, I've heard once you have enough skulls activated, you stop getting checkpoints). Active Camo sucked in Halo 2, so the Assassin's Skull wouldn't really be that big of a deal. And then you have the Envy Skull which is actually makes it easier. I'm not doing this, because there's no way to prove it (I come on to this forum and say "I'm going to beat Halo on Mythic" and that keeps me motivated because if I don't beat it, I'll look stupid).

You would have to have, like, thirteen separate profiles for the skulls. Set up time could take about twenty minutes.

So, I'm saying, -blam!- that.

I thought you have one person forklift while the others get nowhere close and stay behind with Jun near the health pack / armor lock. Every time I've done it this way, I've never seen enemies spawn on the other side of the gate.

No Elite on Mythic/LASO difficulty is simple cannon fodder. You see lots of Ultras because the Thunderstorm skull promotes Elite Infantry to Ultras. Also, there is strength in numbers: one Zealot is probably easier to take down without a vehicle than four Ultras at once (comparatively speaking).

You would have to have, like, thirteen separate profiles for the skulls. Set up time could take about twenty minutes.

So, I'm saying, -blam!- that.

I did the 13 profile trick around 2 years ago, gathered every skull and set the difficulty to easy, so I was playing SEASO, not SLASO/Mythic. The lack of a copy profile feature was absolutely retarded however and playing through the campaign that many times almost sent me over the edge.

Anyway, I knew of a few section skips etc and managed to go through Cairo Station all the way up to Oracle. It was actually quite fun to be honest though it was difficult at times. However the fun did end the instant I met the flood.

Imagine it, every flood is an elite form with shields, they have active camo, and 2 hits is enough to kill you, and you're constantly getting swarmed to boot. That section on the elevator took me hours to get past, and by then I had to stop playing for the day and get some sleep.

You mentioned the assassin's skull not being that bad, trust me, it is. When everything is camoed and blind's active, it becomes way harder to kill stuff then with just blind. Also, jackal snipers. You will learn to absolutely hate them to their core.

You know, I probably will go back one day and finish off H2 SEASO. It was a great challenge at the time but it was still fun for the most part. H2 Mythic however I'd stay far away from.
