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

Hey; congratulations, ZebadiahZ! I hope it wasn't too bad. Good thing it's out of the way, right?

In other news:

Hell yes!

After five or six years of trying, I finally got my name onto the halo.bungie.org's front page. Thanks, Tyrant; I couldn't have done it without you! Thanks to you guys as well, Leumas and MAT.

Wait..."They're planning do do a cleaner run later this week?" Sure, but I don't have nearly as much free time on the weekdays as I do on the weekends. I'm free this weekend, and Monday, Wednesday and Thursday (probably no more than an hour on the weekdays).

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.

So... I have friends with no Mythic experience, who after seeing my name on that front page want to beat Tyrant to beating Co-op Mythic...

So, I'll still help clean up that New Alexandria run on Wednesday, but my friends can be on consistently so how do you feel about a bit of competition Tyrant? See if I can whip some Mythic noobs into shape in order to be the first 4 man team to beat every mission together?

When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

I can take the place of anyone who needs to duck out, or if you want to whip some mythic noobs together as a secondary team I can take your place.

I'm no Mythic conqueror, but I'd signup for that whipping session...

Wait, that sounds wrong. :S

I was mostly just wondering if Tyrant doesn't mind a bit of competition. I think we could finish Quad Mythic first if we can get around the host issue (one of our guys recently got a new 360 so he has a clean host record. Unfortunately his connection is god awful lol).

We're on track to have 3, maybe 4 missions beaten by the end of this week; WC, Nightfall, NA & either Package or TotS.

Thanks to Tyrant and RC Master for getting through NA so easily. I did have trouble getting the Banshee through the door without it closing and killing me. So I melee-pushed the Banshee through. I also shot off both wings. None of this damaged the Banshee enough to make a difference, as far as I could tell.

Door do not recognize a person in a vehicle near them (they haven't since Halo 1). If you're in a vehicle near a door, for all intents and purposes, you're not at the door; so it closes quickly.

You have to be quicker. Jump into the banshee and boost as fast as you can while the doors are opening.

In one of our unsuccessful attempts for Quad Alexandria, we stood near the door so Tyrant would have as much time as he needed to get the banshee through there. In single-player, you don't have that luxury.

It should be noted that if you are hurt after running from the buggers in vyrant telecom tower you should not jump while riding the elevator. My friend did this while we were doing the weekly on coop and he died from fall damage.

Thanks Tyrant for the guide and RC Master for the Banshee skip!

I remember reading in this thread that it was difficult to do the Elites and Engineers side mission and a film clip was requested. It appeared in my LASO run today; is anyone still interested in seeing this? There's not much to it other than circling the tower and turret-ing them to death while fighting off some Banshees.

Getting it faster than my 12:48 is 100% luck based. So if you wanna put yourself through that: go ahead. I'm not sure I'll ever bother.

I gotta try this. If any co-op mythic group is going for a run, and need a player, count me in. You can either tell me here or a message on xbox live.

OMG TRAITOR

Well, I'm with Tyrant. That is...if he still wants me to fill the empty spaces on his team.

Looking back, I'm surprised about how much trust there was when we were playing. I don't know the extent of Tyrant's relationship with MAT, but I only got into Mythic because there was a chance to get recon armor and Leumas is a (relative) newcomer and conqueror. You trusted us not to call the elevator down and leave you up there with the drones; you trusted us not to pull a Leeroy; you trusted us not to bail out of the falcon and fall to our deaths at the last second.

And you just know us through the internet. Wow! :)

Alright so I'm doing New Alexandria SLAASO and following Tyrant's guide to nearly a tee (the first 2 missions I got in the opposite order and I never got the mission to kill hunters on the landing pad). So now I'm in the third indoor mission and things are going really well. The first wave of grunts were all asleep so that was 5 easy assassinations. The first engineer decided to go up instead of down so he was easy pickings. The second wave of grunts all went suicide and blew themselves up before I got there. And the invisibility is making it easy to take out the jackals. So now I've taken out all the brutes, set up all my energy based weapons and de-activate the jammer. I've finally worked up the courage to go fight the jet-packing elites. But they don't show. Or so I think. I go around the corner and there's the two skirmishers and Elite. I take those out with ease just like the video and I'm thinking I'm the luckiest guy that those 7 ranger elites never showed up. But as I work my way up to take out the final 2 skirmishers, I hear plasma rifle fire. Well there are those 7 rangers, and they refuse to come down. Worse, I can't even sneak up to kill them because they can see me coming up every time. This sucks big time because I have no idea how to finish this part of the stage. I've even thought about trying to just use the jet-pack and fly to the top floor.

RC Master had a speed running tactic to get past all of them, but in the future:

Have banshee, will travel.

EDIT: Tyrant, do we need a "pre-guide conqueror" bolding of our names like we have in the Halo 3 Mythic thread?

Scare tactics? I see that as a challenge, not scare tactics.

I may watch his run sometime soon to see if I can improve anything, the current path I'm using is my own.

Really enjoyed the latest video :D

I'm workin on some new stuff I would like to present to the community myself, but I'd like to get them polished first before presenting. On a side note, my finals are done this week... anybody up for Quad-Mythic Saturday?


Hell yes!

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


Of course :)

Also, I'm pretty clear Thursday night this week if you wanna run something.

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?

Good point, I guess. Maybe you could figure out the enemy spawns and other helpful things, similarly to how campaign pros did things in Halo CE?
