SPECIAL BULLETIN

If you have a special tactic for any particular segment of the campaign that was NOT included in the guide, PLEASE send it to me by NOON tomorrow (4/28/2011 12pm PST) and it may be featured in one of my videos this week!

RULES!

1) It must be rendered.
2) It must be done by you.
3) It must be something NOT already in the current guide.
4) It must be performed on Mythic Difficulty.
5) It does NOT need to be apart of a full run, but it must be tested proven to work.

Some Examples include Michael's new Exodus jump, RC's PoA concussion jump, or using Armor Lock to get the Gauss Hog over the barrier in ONI Sword Base.

Thank you!


Won't have a chance to do my ONI trick before then. I can get you a film some other time though that you can do with as you wish.

What if it was laso but blind was off and coop... It can be done solo with blind on I figure...

On exodus, last segment, after you exit the falcon get in the wart hog you don't need a gunner but it won't hurt, there's a ghost but i just ignore it. drive directly up the stairs to the right of the garage, go up the second set of stairs.. Turn left so you are facing the same direction as beach head ff spawn... Drive a few feet ahead or more 2 brutes will come out of a door on your right... Hammer guy and I fuel rod guy... Easy splatters.. Drive back down get your mongoose and do it the rest as you do.. But now when you fly up to get the button you'll have less enemies to worry about.

I can probobly get it render if I ask nice, but should I or I would it not qualify?

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!

Yeah, I found out about the early spawning Chieftains on those first Exodus runs months ago. But I don't think it'd be a good idea to try that stunt on Mythic difficulty. Considering how quicker the enemy reaction time seems to be, the FRG chieftain might just be able to shoot a instakill FRG blast a split second before you have a chance to run both of 'em down.

What triggers the Gauss Hog to drop on ONI Sword Base? It certainly isn't activating the switches...

Guass hog has to be at your second, completed objective. Either order, and the enemies have to be pretty much gone, and you have to still be hanging around the area.

I manage to get it to spawn at Farragut pretty much every time. It youtube and rendered film. If I remember rightly I did that in my 18 minute ish run of Swordbase and I think Eli did as well in his 14 minute run.

Nice, thanks.

Could this be used in a speedrun? It might me faster than the crating you used in your PoA run.

Wait, no, you have the conker instead of the NR. I guess not then.

Halo Reach Mythic Conqueror

Once upon a time I had a rendered video thanks to RC demonstrating the rooftop skip during the wraith part of PoA, i would submit this but,

1. I took it off my fileshare to make room for all my mythic videos
2. I don't have render minutes (no bungie pro)
3. I don't have time today to make the clip again

EDIT: Just checked RC's file share and its still there


Although, he has a video of the same thing and his might be more helpful because it actually shows collecting of the needle rifle ammo

In every run, but the amount of shots needed to make him AL varies. I got lucky in the clip, only needing 1 shot. Sometimes he's really uncooperative.

For anyone attempting PoA on Mythic, I have a few interesting facts for the final room:

1). The climbing bit which forces the Zealots back to the top floor does NOT always work.
2.) Zealots can NOT be assassinated.
3.) Zealots will NOT back off after a melee has begun.
4.) In the event that you attempt to defy fact #3, Zealots WILL send you back to start via a bash to the back of your cowardly head.

That is all.

Typically I've only seen it fail when I didn't go back towards the MAC gun far enough.

2.) Zealots can NOT be assassinated.

Sure they can. Check out my Winter Contingency video.

3.) Zealots will NOT back off after a melee has begun.

Trying to back off from ANY Elite after engaging in a melee fight is ill-advised.

4.) In the event that you attempt to defy fact #3, Zealots WILL send you back to start via a bash to the back of your cowardly head.

Gotta love Elites. On that note, excellent progress on your part thus far, and a DOUBLE gratz goes out to our new conqueror!

By the way, much obliged for everyone who submitted a tactic for the video. Will try to have it online by today or tomorrow.

Tyrant, did you ever get that ONI trick to work? I have absolutely no play time so I won't be able to throw together a vid for you.

Nope. But I did get the footage I needed for the video. I'm HOPING to have it up in time tomorrow morning.

I went back farther than I have needed to in the past, and farther back than I've seen anyone else do in successful runs. Actually, it's possible that I went too far back, because I heard an Elite grunt in recognition.

2.) Zealots can NOT be assassinated.

Sure they can. Check out my Winter Contingency video.


I remember you doing that now, in the last room. Yeah, I'm not sure then, because I punched this guy about 10 times, 6 of which were seemingly (to me) in his back. Actually, I sparred with him for far longer than I've been able to with other elites, his lunges were always the same. I wish that I'd saved it now, but I turned off my xbox in frustration.


3.) Zealots will NOT back off after a melee has begun.

Trying to back off from ANY Elite after engaging in a melee fight is ill-advised.



I think I'll follow that advice henceforth.
Thanks by the way for the guide. With one or two exceptions, I've followed your advice to the letter. I would never have even attempted Reach on SLASO until reading the HBO Mythic page.

I agree with guides taking away from the challenge..., but sometimes instead of giving up becasue it is too challenging taking a peek at how the pros do it kinda helps... Even after learning the forklift glitch it still took me and a friend a long time... Things never work out perfectly.

Reading it is not required... Nor is reading this, but it's too late now, you can't unread this...

2.) Zealots can NOT be assassinated.

I'm gonna guess that you're talking about your experience with a dual-weilding zealot. Dual weilders weilders are notoriously hard to assassinate, zealot or no.
