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.


Sure was!

I don't think it's a challenge anymore if people use guides.


Yeah, it's a lot simpler when you use a guide, but if you notice, only 17 people have successfully made it through the campaign. I'd say that in a game with millions of players like Halo, that's a challenge.

Cool video! That armour-lock with the warthog thing is cool.

Do you have a set timeline in mind for future episodes yet?

Also, heres a random factoid for you: 'Mythic Conqueror' in Reach is a more exclusive title than 'Onyx' in Arena.

I had to go through that as well. And one time I forgot to take my finger off the trigger to start charging the second shot. Keep trying!

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!

Thanks for contributing via the center piece tactic of the video :) Viewers are still blown away by that New Alexandria witchcraft. lol!

Right now I'm gunning for an every two week release to match up with the LASO challenges. I have a couple of videos in mind for the next episode and would love to include your Pillar of Autumn concussion skip as well.

Ha! Cool fact. Mind if I include that in the next episode?

Halo Reach Mythic Conqueror

Today I played some Halo 2 legendary campaign, and I've got to say...I can see why it hasn't been done on mythic (besides the fact that skulls can't be activated easily). I was playing outskirts (second mission) and the jackal snipers are ridiculous. I got to one point where I was getting insta-sniped the second the checkpoint loaded. Playing through it reminded me of a time I literally was waiting around a corner and a sniper fired, the shot ricocheted off the ground and killed me.

Although, I have to say I still kind of want to try it.

Yeah, something that no one has mentioned is Black Eye's Effects in Halo 2. You can punch up to 2x overshields, while that may not be even as much as an ODST's stamina, it'd sure make the jackal snipers a lot easier.

  • 04.29.2011 6:47 PM PDT

Wow i thought Halo 2 was one of the hardest campaigns of all halo games, bravo to you good sir if you beat it on mythic for i have given up on beating reach on Mythic and Halo 2 was much harder

Kind of on a side note, but since it has literally been MONTHS since we've heard anything more from Rooster Teeth regarding a Mythic Fails of the Week, I'm proposing that we do our own, and I'll upload it to my channel as a new series :-)

So, those of you who STILL have you rendered Mythic fails, please send them to me via PM, and we'll get the ball rolling.

Tyrant, to answer the question posted on that Mythic Tips youtube video about the New Alexandria trick on co-op.

On co-op, if you have one player at the jammer and the other player(s) outside. Once Player A activates the jammer, Player B (C+D) continue the mission as usual, fly around for a couple minutes then return to the hospital but don't go in. Player A will teleport outside.

In fact, Gazas and I did it on our co-op run if you want to watch it. It's on his file share. I'm not 100% sure triggers Player A to teleport outside the hospital, but it tends to take a while..

Nice video, Tyrant! I'm glad to see you're still back in Mythic. It also made my day when I saw you included my clip. :D

To be honest, I don't see how the armor lock thing is any easier than, say, driving over it. You don't really have any enemies at that point, so time isn't an issue. Even if it was, I don't see how it's any faster. I'll give it a try next time.

I need to render them? Alright, I'll render the funniest ones. Five minutes means five clips.

Will it just be you commenting on them like in Fails of the Weak, or will it just be a montage? If it's the former, maybe you should get one of us to comment on them with you, so you'll have off whom to bounce ideas. Fails of the Weak would be really boring if it wasn't for Geoff.

Because most of the time I just end up running into the wall rather than actually going over it. Using a grenade or Armor Lock gives it that extra "boost" to flip over the barrier. The latter, of course, is far less damaging to the vehicle.

I like the idea of having partners to converse with online. The trick, of course, is going to be getting both voices recorded with decent quality. Surely we can't use XBL chat for that, even if one of us had a capture card. We'd both need headsets so we could hear each other PLUS a secondary mic to record voices on to the computer via Audacity. Then I'd need to line up the two separate wave files. Not impossible and definitely worth a shot, but it seems like every time my efforts involve another player or players, I wind up having to either deal with flakiness OR someone simply getting too consumed by other things to finish what we started. No offense to anyone on Team Mythic...

I'm offended. ;)

I have audacity and I may or may not have access to decent microphones... >.> I could probably record myself as I'm talking with you and then send you the file for editing. However, as you may or may not have read in the FB message I just sent you, I won't be on for multi-mythic this weekend due to college consuming the last remnants of my soul...

Speaking of which...

Haha jk. My work schedule is about to change for the better, so it may be a bit easier for me to fit more play time in. The other trick to the audio, however, is getting into a position where we can both watch the same full length video at the same time. Doing co-op Mythic commentaries, though tedious, is slightly easier since we can just simultaneously start the film at the same time and comment (though that's a lot of work), but a final product is going to be far more difficult. I suppose I could send an AVI file your way.

Wow. This is really getting complex... Should be interesting.

I was going to, but then advised against it. I was told that it was a coin toss whether or not you could actually get the falcon due to the fact that Jun may or may not be piloting it.

That's true, and whenever I try, Jun is piloting. I attempted about twenty times, and out of those twenty, he wasn't in it twice. So the weighting is awfully low, unless I was doing something wrong.

Sure, go ahead.
Its a pretty obvious conclusion when you think about it. Oynx accounts for 5% of the Arena population. If Onyx only had 17 people in it, that means the qualified arena population would be 340 (17/0.05). And we know that a lot more people than that have played in arena.

RC: Saw your contribution on Tyrant's video. That trick with the banshee and the hospital is VERRY nice. It definitely would've saved me a lot of grief on my LASO run had I known about it.

Honestly, New Alexandria isn't really that hard but it is my least favorite mission of the campaign. I find it incredibly boring. The side missions can drag on for too long and on Mythic it is a pain in the ass to find where they are, at least for the bungie LASO challenge we won't have blind on.

Respect skill, Not rank.

http://fcwars.net/

Exodus alternate path.

right when you get the jetpack, i found a way that let's you skip past the enemies around where the banshees are flying.

In tyrants guide, he jetpacks around and runs along the edge of the building. Then, he jetpacks up. Now, this was a killing point for me a lot. There is almost always a brute, several brutes or at least a grunt or two up there. Even with my "mad pro skillz", i t was often hard to get past. well i found that if you went around the other side of the building, past the kill barrier, one of two things happens.

if you get close enough to the left,(recommended) the enemies will spawn, but will never retreat up to the top, giving you plenty of room.

if you keep to the right, the enemies will never spawn. Keep in mind that you can't go on as the enemies in the next area dont load either. However, this can be usefull for testing out some new jumping techniques ect. in the next area.

There is one difficult part, where you have to jetpack past a kill barrier. you will only have 1-2 seconds left if you pass it. However, you're garunteed no enemies up top. (tested 3-5 times both methods.) so you should practice that jump before you play through it.

I have a video in my file share named exodus that will show you how to do this.

In the video, on my first life i show the "make no enemies spawn ever" method. (sorry about the jumping around i did after, you can fast forward to my 2nd life.)

in my second life i demonstrate how the brutes, grunts, jackals, ect. will stay below, unmoving.

*note, occasionally, only the chieftan will be up top, however, no matter how much you shoot or melee him, you will not attract more enemies, and this has only happened once, when i took over 10 minutes to get up. Even on mythic(i was playing on mythic for all these tests.) it was easy to shoot at him and melee him with nothing but a pistol until he died.

Also, once you get to the end, watch me fail to assassinate the fuel rod chief! then shortly after suicidally charge everyone.

I hope you find this method helpful if you haven't done exodus yet!











second exodus "alternate path"

Rally point Bravo alternate route: melee the odst out of the right side of one of the falcons, preferably the one with the empty seat.
this way, no enemies on the rooftops can hit you, and you can focus on shooting down the banshees. using this method will drastiaclly lower your chances of being banshee bombed, plus it will give you some cover when you land, due to the falcon being between you and the enemies.You should enter the next fight at full shields and health. The only downside being that you can't gun down some of the enemies attacking you just after landing. you can choose what method to use.exodus2














Tip of the Spear alt path.

Instead of fighting anything in the begginer area, skip along the cliffs. grab a needle rifle (keep your nade launcher) from the skirmishers and move down the cave-path. You can then emp the ghost and kill the driver. set up the ghost on the bridge like i show in the video at the end of the post. Grab the unmanned ghost and head back up to take down the AA gun. As soon as it starts to blow, boost back to the bridge. Now, boost over the ghost on the bridge while holding A and you should fly across to the other side. This way, you don't have to worry about any enemies up to this point except the ghost and driver. This easily lets you bypass the wraith and phantom near the bridge too. Using this method, i've gotten to the falcon ride without even losing my shields. (darn concussive elites took me down though.)

skip 2:00- 2:45, it's just me helplessly looking around for the ghost in plain sight. You can also skip ~3:47-~7:00 as it's just me shooting the AA gun. You can usually pass the area in 7 minutes or less with this method


sorry to say none of them are rendered.
