i did all the missions on laso though i used the bait method i went into that one room used holo to lure as many as possible in to assasinate then when i could i went to the staircase on the opposite side of the initial door used holo lured field marshall assasinated him then easily took on the last zealot
I didn't know that you could assassinate the zelots and the field marshal. I tried several times, but even when executed perfectly I'd just throw a punch and bounce harmlessly off thier shields (and get a round house kick to my face for the effort).

Fun before Victory.

POA hated me. I used Save and Quit A LOT! The Drones seemed to know excatly when to move, the Hunters spawned, I ran out of ammo up at the Mass Driver (But DID get both concussion rifles, so could get more then jump back up...I'm impressed at how much ammo each had despite Famine), the Zealot's kept dodging and had me eventually give up killing them and just take out the Field MArshal, then the MAC cannon coin-toss was made worse by the Zealots wanting a piece of me too while I was in it! Constant attempts at waiting for the shot did not work at all - Never got near the second shot.

But I do feel that how I beat it is something worth all that bad luck...I eventually decided to throw the coin away and just man the MAC gun right from the start and fight it out through the end. The coin must have landed on heads when I threw it away.

I'm curious, what is the percentage of people that actually complete the 'LASO' challenges? If a bungie employee can include this in a Q & A in the future that would be awesome. I would guess 1% or 2% of the community but I'd like to be surprised with more than that.


Yeah, I second this!

Bet the first 2 have the least... Blind is a killer. I know I was intimidated but got through wc, then the very beginning of ONI even with blind off was hella hard at first...

I wonder if those who will have completed all laso challenges will be in the triple or double digits...

Anyone else getting disconnected from your party in the middle of this laso?
Me and a buddy tried like 7 times but kept getting disconnected. It would say the other one had left... Then because neither of us are mythic masters we there will be a death... So we started over and it happened again, and again.... And no I'm not going to do the save and quit crap.

Got a sweet assassination on a duel wielding elite, can't wait to try again!


Who knows how many people have completed all the LASO? There's probably no real way to find out unless you've completed all the weekly challenges. I've done them all but I didn't know how to do the weekly's when the game first came out. I would say that it's proably in the hundreds. I was fully prepared to do all the stages with blind on. I did WC, ONI, and Nightfall even though I didn't have to.

To be fair, I do think I just got lucky in that video. The Phantom that comes in from the top can fire at you well before you can fire at it, for example. But given that's the only luck I got...AND I got it after deciding to just fight those odds as normal when "waiting for the shot" kept failing for me..yeah, it was worth the agony of the rest of the level just for those 90 seconds. :D

I'm definitely impressed.

#r c takedown did you have a dropshield or hologram then you couldne used the droppie to recharge your health

if not i found that if you get in the mass driver before captain keyes warning you can make it easier for yourself by killing a few phantoms and banshees and then hopping out

which equals less phantoms n banshees less likely ur gnna get hit alot

Inclement Weather - November 17th, 2010
Eternal Bungie Blue Flames - June 13th, 2011

No shields, No health, No PP ammo, No PR ammo, No NR ammo, only had a DMR, a Shotgun, a Spiker, a Pistol left in my weapon stockpile.

I was going to give up all hope and just restart the whole mission again and follow Tyrant's Guide.

Then I Gambled

I had a hologram, but the dropshield wouldn't have made any difference. There were just too many phantoms hammering me non stop. Drop shields don't restore your shields either, only your health.

I used this method in my co-op PoA run with theFluxx three months ago. I suppose you haven't seen that film then.

Good job on proving it can be done.

Now do that again in a full Mythic run without save and quitting and then I'll respond like Michael did :p

Tbh, I barely download anyone's films. I've only ever really looked at the speedrun ones. Guess the trick's been around for a while, but it should've been implemented ages ago when you did it, assuming other people saw it too.

Sorry if it came across a bit elitist or something. But it really didn't warrant such a response as;

HOLY -blam!-. OH MY GOD, WHAT THE -blam!-! HOW THE HELL JESUS CHRIST HOW DID YOU SURVIVE THE PHANTOMS AND THAT ZEALOT

I mean, yes, it was impressive. But nothing groundbreaking or overly insane.

Considering it was more or less accepted that pulling this off was impossible, I'm extremely impressed with your coin tossing abilities. ;)

Let's not gloss over this; he proved us wrong. And for that, I tip my hat to you sir! Well done!

It was a speed run; Legendary's co-op film with the theFluxx is even faster than my solo run.

I saw it, tried it and got shot up while I was walking along the beam quite a bit. Seeing as how I was already comfortable with the grenade jump I decided not to bother.

KOTOR Join the Dark Side...we have cookies!~

Completed all of the challenges so far.

  • 06.02.2011 10:27 AM PDT

Poa was the hardest IMHO.

Didnt watch any videos or read any guide before hand... But now that I have, how is that the hunters don't spawn? 2 different videos show peeps running past the elites and the where the hunters should be they just run past and shoot out a window...

And something that disappointed me, after the part with the wraith, my buddy and i used a mongoose to by pass most of the action ( after taking out the wraith gunner a few ground troops...) got the goose onto the cave only for it to disappear after the cutscene... I wanted to haul ass through there... Then have a goose to get from one side of boneyard to the other.... Just for the fun of it.. Wanted to see if I could get to the bob before he disappeared.

I doubt I can pull off a true Mythic run without teammates. Despite knowing how to do the stuff, nothing really fell into place for me except when I manned the gun, from the Zealots always dodging my PP to behind walls and staying there to the Drones ALWAYS moving as I fire the DMR.

That said, waiting for the shot gave me no luck at all as well, so I actually WOULD be willing to just man the gun at the end of a Mythic run. Leaving how the mission ends in my hands and not the spiteful Halo God's is my prefered ending.

To everyone who is saying that it's not impressive:

As I pointed out earlier, our Great Tyrant of Mythic has said numerous times that it's "literally impossible".

My point is that if there was any chance or time for a revolution, it would be now. :O
