Subject: Official Halo: Reach *Mythic Difficulty* Guide (LASO for all missions)

Something I found out yesterday when doing the LASO on co-op; doing the Banshee easter egg seems to make the AA guns invincible.

Not sure if it's to do with the easter egg, or if something else happened, but we had to restart. Didn't use the easter egg and the Tyrant guns went down easily, which is what makes me think it was because of the ee.

Yes, if you initiate the easter egg, you cannot proceed with the mission.

Just a heads up... at the end where you snag the wraith, boost over the bridge and wait for the phantoms to drop.. if the phantom doesnt leave, you're screwed. It does shoot back and the gun is indestructible. You can try to boost past it but you just end up in the middle of 400 elites and grunts/brutes/jackals/ghosts.

Edit: Nevermind.. it finally blew up after I got a random checkpoint. Very strange.

I just blew it up with the wraith, only takes a few shots and the phantom goes boom

At any point? What if you destroyed the guns, then initiated the easter egg? (I didn't even know about this ee before yesterday, so I've no idea.)

Depending on how the mission is designed, you may not be able to return to the area where the easter egg is triggered after destroying the two Tyrant AA guns. Not sure about this though.

What if you pushed the buttons at the same time you blow up both guns? True, that requires both good teammates and good logistics, but...

Then you have way too much time on your hands and found out whether or not a coop-only tactic for a relatively easy section of a mission will work. Once the guns are down there's really not much left to do before you're inside.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Just did NA. Did it without the banshee glitch because i got the hospital last. Kind of frustrating, but whatever. At the very end, when i had one more turret to blow up to get into ONI, it seemed like every banshee in the area just instantly started firing on me. Crazy times, i would have killed something if i died with about 1 minute until i finished the level. Thankfully, Kat extended the bridge, a few more banshees tried to halt my success, and i landed safely.

6/9 done now. LNoS, PoA, and Exodus to go.

Nice progress dude, though having left those 3 till last is gonna be a pain for you. Exodus and PoA have been reasonably tamed, but LNoS will forever be a total pain in the ass.

I actually don't have a massive amount of trouble with LNoS for some reason. That said, i still haven't completed it. I have only tried twice though, so maybe third time lucky.

The only real troubling part for me is the bit as soon as you get into the corvette with the rangers. After that, it isn't too bad.

Exodus, for some reason, is my weakness. I just can't do it. I think i had the most trouble doing it on legendary too.

Halo Reach 2/3rds of the way mythic conqueror (6/9)

For me and mythic, I will make mistakes but the thing isn't difficulty but finding time to sit down and play some of these missions all in one run.

I'm doing it all solo, thanks anyway. I'll get it done eventually. Maybe today.

What I found with NA is that if you stay at the max height, you can see a pack of about 8 banshees that will be chasing you the whole time. If you keep circling around to shoot each turret, they don't have enough time to catch up to you by the time you blast all the turrets. The key is making sure you dont sit at one spot too long trying to destroy a turret. If it starts taking too long, I just start flying to the next one so that pack never got within shooting distance.

I love LASOs now. that and speed runs :D

anyways, the package LASO is actually taking a lot less time than I thought it would. since I'm not pro at them, I do use the save and quit (did that a s*** load on exodus), but the only time I had to do it on the package was when I wanted to stop playing :)

also, I don't know if you guys have seen it, but normally I take Tyrant's mythic guides as well as others and merge them. one good trick I came upon was in the hall with the elites and the one general. you can see the jump in this:

I. Hate. Exodus.

16 failed attempts, for absolute garbage reasons. Accidentally killed myself twice, got inside the final building once, had my Wraith stolen by hoodlum brutes who then killed me. Worst level ever, in any Halo game. In my opinion of course.

  • 05.19.2011 2:52 AM PDT

Exodus Sucks (yes, with capital S!)
Stupid Brutes are sometimes berserking and stuff :\
Although the last part was fairly easy... After activating the first switch, make a mad dash towards the second (with jetpack).
After activating the second make some epic jumps to a warthog and drive all the way back to the droppoint to get a Mongoose. Hop on and drive and jetpack towards switch and voila :)

Yeah, i follow Tyrants guide exactly, save for a few little tricks that make it easier on me. I prefer to use camo, you can just jump up the gardens to the switch, and it's probably faster than jetpack.
