Jesus, just finished PoA co-op for the weekly. Note; nobody had a microphone. Was 80 minutes of fun though, would've been half that had people been communicating.

So is there any way to beat PoA mythic without killing the Fuel Rod Zealot at the end?

Not really no. He's the one that you definitely have to kill.

I blew it. I was up to the big fight, had a flawless run, and then i thought i'd save myself the hassle, and skip the first wave and jump straight up to the Mass Driver. Sure enough, i ran out of ammo, had to jump down, and then got killed by the FRG chieftan in the next wave. LAME.

You mean skip the first wave as in get up there fast enough to kill one of the first wave's Phantoms? Thats some hardcore stuff dude...

Hmm, makes me want to try it now. Bit of a thrill to get up fast enough to ruin the covenant for all 3 waves.

Edit: It's crossed my mind on whether or not I should help people with this weekly but from what Dark said lack of communication just ruins things. I could see people running in headfirst with a shotgun thinking 'Imma gon be teh big hero yay!!!!11!1!!!111!' and then I realise, I don't think there's any point to helping those that wont help themselves by taking orders and letting someone experienced take the lead.

With that said, I'd be more than glad to run the weekly with any of the conquerors if they're interested.

I think i worded it wrong, but destroying those phantoms would be awesome. Not sure if it's possible though.

I meant that i just jumped up straight away, it's easier/ safer to kill the covenant from up there because you have basically a birds eye view, plus they get distracted by the marines more easily. Didn't work out so well though, i ran out of ammo with 6 enemies left i think. Would have been less, but i focused on the brutes because the jackals were hiding.

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

Just beat the weekly 10 minutes ago. Used save and quit glitch (shun me if you must but I don't have the time to restart it time after time). By the third wave the DMR crate ran empty and so did my needle rifle. Inmprovised into killing Plasma chieftan with a plasma pistle. I also did that with the marshal when my magnum had no ammo and it took forever to kill him with it.

Anyway got the challenge and congratulated myself on completeing the champaign on mock Mythic Difficulty.

If you do the jump immediately you can get into the mass driver with just enough time to destroy one of the Phantoms. The one that drops enemies onto the platform that keyes lands on.

Didn't work out so well though, i ran out of ammo with 6 enemies left i think. Would have been less, but i focused on the brutes because the jackals were hiding.
This is why I waited until the end of the first wave to do the jump.

Plus he only made it yesterday.

Thanks RC Master and knurdy for the good advice. I didn't realize that the grenades he threw couldn't go through the fencing so I just stayed up pretty close to it and it apparently p'ed him off that I was so close. So he just kept throwing grenades to his hearts content while I was finally able to pepper his shields away. Plus I'm glad I didn't try to activate the final MAC cannon scene without killing him first.

Thanks to Tyrant and the rest of the Conquerors for getting me through all 9 Weekly Challenges. I used Save & Quit and didn't use Blind. It was still hard at times, but was much easier than my solo Legendary run back in September, running with no advice or tricks.

  • 05.30.2011 9:50 AM PDT

That was definitely the hardest one. Glad its over with! Thanks for the help!

im just starting my run of solo PoA now......ill check back in a couple hours lol

  • 05.30.2011 9:58 AM PDT

Hey, could any of you be kind enough to round up all the new tips and tricks for PoA? I know some good stuff has come out since Tyrant's guide, but I can't find it through all the pages of this thread. I'd appreciate it as I'm attempting the weekly later this week.

In the Pillar of Autumn, the section where your in the first room of molten lava(?) with the room of Elites and Marines (before you fight the jackals and hunters).
The section of the video where he jumps up onto the pipes and again onto the walkway, I can't jump up there, at all unless an Elite shoots concussion rifles at me, which ends my life.
Can someone give me a tip as to how I can get up there solo like he did in the video?

@jakwak: Here are some videos by RC Master showing most of the new tricks.

Laptop HDD dead. Typing on phone. Also exams = :'(

Here are urls, hyperlink pain in ass, hope you understand and I'm not too late
Roof skip and Wraith de-spawn,
Dealing with zealots,
Whole mass driver segment,
Alternate jump with bubble shield,
Not from mythic run but from MD high score run, did same thing in actual mythic,
Alternate 12 skull rooftop skip with wrath still there.

Would have gotten all clips from a real run but had these already and render mins you know.

Edit: so people don't have to scroll to mathguy's post.


@raigetsu: You have to crouch jump. Make sure your controller is set to Hold to Crouch. Jump, then crouch. It took me several tries, but I got up there eventually.

It seems that I'm coming out of retirement, lol.

I have my first five Mythic missions done. Working on ONI: Sword Base atm, next up is New Alexandria, then Long Night of Solace and Pillar of Autumn. Hopefully I'll get those done soon :)

RC, what would you say is easier: doing that concussion rifle jump or fighting all three waves like nature intended? I was watching your videos and they look risky as hell. With the Famine Skull, you pretty much only get one try. You also got to the top with only one bar of health remaining.

Well I've had extremely bad luck all day.

Attempt #1: Friend lags out leaving me alone to die

Attempt #2: First my friend lags out again leaving me and my other friend to watch my internet decide to screw up and make me quit.

Attempt #3: One friend has to go and spent a good hour and a half on it. (Spare controller in case I lag out again so I don't have to restart if I die...)

I'm glad its out of the way...

I have a question though, If you was to get to the bit where you have to get to the MAC cannon can you just jump up there and walk down to activate the phantoms and stuff? I ask because I got up there and into the MAC cannon but nothing happened so we just killed all but one elite, We tried to trick the elite by 2 going one way and me going from behind but as I get to the bottom of the first set of stairs from the MAC cannon the phantoms come even though the elite is still alive.
