Halo Reach Mythic Conqueror
Ok so today after our failed quad mythic PoA attempts I was inspired to try to figure out a better way to get the rooftop skip method to work despite the lag of 4 player co-op that makes the jump extra tricky.
I decided that it would be nice if there was something to stand on that would make the jump a bit easier so I tried a couple different things with no good results (jumping off the mongoose, concussion rifling the ammo crate next to it, etc). So finally I decided to try to get one of those trucks into position on the hill to where I could very easily jump from the top of it to the rooftops. And guess what? After some hilarious hijinks of trying to jump the bridge in said trucks, I was able to do it.
I don't know if anyone ever noticed but there is actually an alternate route to get across the bridge to the right. I drove the truck along this alternate cliffside and wedged it between the fence. The path was a little to steep at this point to drive so I hopped out, grabbed the armor lock and EMP it the rest of the way (like the method in the sword base gauss hog video), then after driving around for a bit trying to figure out the best way over the barriers I just went with AL + EMP once again. I got the truck over the second barrier, drove it to the cliff opposite the rooftops and it made the jump a piece of cake.
I know that in solo play the jump is pretty straight forward, but again this might be a good option in co-op since we seemed to have trouble taking out the wraith and despawning didn't work. Anyone who cares to check out how I did it here are the videos (no render though...)
Truck fun 1
Truck fun 2
It should be noted that there actually is a truck that spawns in the wraith area that could be used for this, but its in a pretty "hot" area, combat wise.
