Hmmmm, why are there so few people on the list of mythic conquerors?


Because only a few people have conquered the entire campaign on Mythic Difficulty with proof to back to up :-)

By proof, do you mean just the files? Or should the person supply you with videos on file share.


Saved films with linked game stats on Bungie.net suffices for proof.

So close on POA mythic run (last one I have left) - copped it on the elites after clearing the landing pad. Couldn't find an angle on the stupid engineer from the doorway, so kept creeping in further and... as you'd imagine that didn't go too well. Pretty happy I got that far though, I didn't expect to get past the landing pad. Still haven't tried the early-MD, so fought it out in the usual spot up the stairs. Was worried the FRG brute would be a pain, but it was distracted by marine(s) still alive up top there, so that was handy - could PP his shield off without him firing at me. Next time then!

Ouch. Sorry to hear that, Dannye.

I'm proud to say that on my only run where I cleared the landing pad, I somehow managed to one-shot the engineer (LOLWUT), killed the zealots and beat the level.

17th Mythic Conqueror of Halo 3.
5th Mythic Conqueror of ODST.
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.

You can one shot the Engineers (and Brutes incidentally) if you can hit their head hitboxes from behind and above/below where the helmets don't cover.
Aim for the back of the neck basically.

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

As for my next mission, its going to be Exodus. This mission doesn't have peticularly tough enimies but a very annoying randomness factor in the form accidentally falling off cliffs in the cargo port, grunts seeing me when assasinating chieftain or any other thing that isn't in my control. For now I will try until I conquer.

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

Go for it. I found Exodus to be quite fun. Yes, the randomness factor can get irritating at times, but Brutes are still easier to deal with than Elites.

Do you think I should do POA and LNOS last or first? Personally I think last when I am most used to aiming with the blind skull and taking down elites and all other skills I need to conquer the missions on mythic.

Last. Once you have the skills down, those two missions won't seem quite as difficult.

Very few have even heard of the Mythic challenge. I bought the XBOX just to play Halo CE when it came out and have played nearly all Halo FPS games since. I never heard of the Mythic challenges until the LASO challenges came out. In Halo 3, I toyed with the idea of playing the game with all the skulls on just to see the scores I could get because the multiplier was so high. Very quickly, it seemed to me, that the game was not designed to be finished with all the skulls on and left it at that. To further more, there was no incentive to play with even one gold skull on for me. Reach gave me a reason to do so, and now I'm introduced to the Mythic challenge. But I definitely do not have the skills to finish any of the stages with the Mythic rules in place. I consider myself lucky enough to finish all the weekly LASO challenges.

This is interesting, as I found the brutes to be more difficult to handle than elites for a couple of reasons. First, there were more brutes per encounter than elites. Second, I thought the elites were more predictable in their actions. Crazed brutes can be a problem if you don't have the weapons to handle them. Although elites require a lot of plasma to drop their shields, once down, they're "one shot," and they go down easily. Conserving precision weapon ammo seemed to be more of an issue when fighting brutes. I also had very little problems of LNoS while struggling mightily through Exodus. My whole encounter on LNoS inside the corvette was almost too easy. Stinking methane tank almost ruined my run at the end.
All I have left is PoA on mythic. Should be done within the week.

While I wouldn't rule out skulls completely for CE:A, I would consider them to be a far more likely addon to Halo 4.

I'm pretty sure they've been confirmed for CE:A. I've seen numerous sources supporting the fact, on both the waypoint forums and on numerous preorder pages on game sites.


I really hope this is true, its one of the main things I was looking forward to, if not, I'll probably still end up getting it but I won't like it.

In other news, do any of my fellow mythic conquerors want a star nameplate?


Well, considering there's no theater for solo campaign on CE:A, I'm not bothering.


I feel you on that one, Dark, but I'd still do it even if there is no proof simply to see if I could beat the challenge. You know about me and challenges, I can't back down :P

There is still hope though with online statistics! Does anyone know if 343 confirmed whether or not there will be online stat tracking for CEA, since we know Co-op can be done online?

343's been pretty tight lipped with CE:A features so nobody really knows yet. Coming closer to the release we'll likely be filled in on the details.

This.

If there was an achievement or unlock able armor to do it mythic I might be down, but as it is laso was hard enough with me and a friend, we got the satisfaction of doing that ( plus space dollars ).... But I doubt we were less than double digit deaths per mission.
Keep up the good work mythic masters!

Where's our vidoc challenges? With laso destroy a scarab.... I've been on one before ( doubt it was legendary, let alone laso ) and it appears to have that destructible core.... Has anyone tested it to see if it can be destroyed?

The core is in fact destructible, but I don't think the scarab itself explodes like in Halo 3.

As long as you can kill the shielded grunts, which shouldn't be too hard, there's nothing preventing you from making the dual-wielder retreat to the upper level before killing the engineer.

I feel you on the engineer. One time it went in between the 2 girders above where the plasma rifle Zealots hang out. It was impossible to kill him from outside. For awhile, I actually thought it was stuck inside part of the environment rendering him unkillable but still able to boost their shields. Let me tell you, trying to kill him was a b!+@4. I don't even know how he wound up over there but I kept almost getting killed by the forward Zealot because sometimes he would run down the steps to come play with me. Not fun.

SO close to beating PoA. One time a zealot threw a sticky through the steps to stick one of the pedestales right below the ladder to the MD while I was hold RB to enter. Soooo frustrating. Another time I was killed before I could get the second shot off. Do you hold the MD trigger the second you go into third person to board it, or do you wait until you're sitting in the drive seat?

  • 06.21.2011 8:21 AM PDT

You start holding the very moment you go into third person, let go for a moment after the first shot is fired, then hold it until you die or win.

Thanks Mutoid. Gotta love the randomness of the MD, especially as it is a coin toss right at the end...

Just beat PoA. That means I have beat all levels on Mythic difficulty! A big thanks to this community for the helpful tips and vids.

I have all gamestats posted, as well as the last five levels in film (I don't have Bungie Pro for all nine), posted in the SLASO forum. RC has all ready checked the last five levels as per his post. Does anyone (including RC) want me to replace four films with the first four for absolute proof?
Again, thanks to the community.

On Exodus, the cargo port skip on the last jump seems to be quite chancy. Sometimes the enimies there consist of a concussion rifle brute captain, 1 minor and grunts. I then sometimes die. Or it only consists of the captain and I can safely advance. Is there anuything I can do from preventing the former or is it just luck.
