Halo Reach Mythic Conqueror

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.


I tried this method on heroic one time just to see if it was possible to jump the bridge with a ghost and move on without killing the AA gun, there is an invisible wall on the other side and a kill zone so it doesn't work. I went back to see if it was even possible to kill the AA gun with the ghost and it took a really long time on heroic, I can't imagine how long it would take on mythic. One good thing though is the ghost is fully automatic fire with no chance of over heating like the warthog gun, so you can just sit there and hold down the trigger and do whatever else in the meantime.

Also, I never could actually jump the bridge head on, I had to aim to the side and hit the low part of the ground on the other side

it only takes 2-3 minutes on mythic. or at least it does for me. Like i said, i did the whole thing up to that point in 7 1/2 minutes, and i messed up at one part so it would be about 6 1/2 minutes. It's much faster than fighting your way through the beggining area. (or at least, i found it to be faster. depends how good you are at fighting through those enemies.)

After I finish this Exodus run, count me in. Speaking of which, I just made a breakthrough. I got past the first jetpack part to the landing pad. Wish me luck! I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for a success.

EDIT: just got a successful assassination for the fuel rod chieftain. =D now one step closer
EDIT2: just finished landing pad. Exodus victory is within my grasp! (except for all those upcoming chieftains. *shudders*

I've just finished New Alexandria, finishing my Reach Mythic campaign. You can see them all at the group thread here.

I've also replayed Nightfall, Sword Base, and Winter Contingency as they were missing either a film or a Carnage Report. All files can be found on my thread.

Good team work you guys. Thanks for putting up with my antics. Further proof that once we get our footing, the Mythic community is an indomitable force when working together :)

Oh and welcome to the fold, Zebadiah.

We ARE planning to do a MUCH cleaner run on Wednesday. If for whatever reason one of the other folks can't make it, you're more than welcome to join in on the fun.

I really do enjoy playing with the people in this community. You guys are awesome <3

Fun before Victory.

I couldn't get a hang of that massive leap to the landing pad that you performed with the jetpack in Exodus, so I went trying to find another way up there. And I found one that's much easier IMO, though I'm sure you guys have already noticed this due to how simple it is. I'll probably save a clip and render it in a moment, but you can use the jetpack to just go up the wall at the back of the building.

It'll be in Mythic Tips & Tricks Volume - II, but since the original founder did it with the Blind Skull inactive, I'll need to redo it myself. I also found a slightly more reliable method than the one he posted but still uses the same principle.

Hell yes!

On a side note, would you consider featuring any of your videos on my channel? :-)

Hey, I have got a question. I've just tried RC's banshee trick three times with no success. Am I missing something? Every time I get locked in.

  • 05.01.2011 2:09 PM PDT

I just finished my run of New Alexandria using that trick. What do you mean "locked in"?

  • 05.01.2011 2:22 PM PDT

I don't teleport, even when I exit right when the box de-loads. Then the door out locks shut. This is my last jammer, maybe that is causing it?

Yeah, it has to be the first or second, otherwise it won't work. I'd actually advise that you do this one first, because after you finish it, the level is a walk in the park.

  • 05.01.2011 2:43 PM PDT

OK. Darn, my game always loads the same order on mythic, hospital being last. :(
