Just saying it now, but Assault on the Control Room will be Anniversary's Nightfall.

I honestly can't believe one super simple skip despawns EVERY enemy in the level.

It's harder than it looks.


That skip is pretty crazy, I just finished a replay of every halo game on legendary and after replaying AotCR the long way (which probably took 2 hours), that skip will be much welcomed in future play throughs. I could very easily see 343 removing it in some way or at least making it so the enemies don't despawn.

Slightly offtopic but in regards to my campaign replay experience I would like to say that I now officially rank the campaigns in terms of difficulty on legendary as follows:
Halo 2 > Halo 1 > Halo Reach > Halo 3 > Halo ODST. The jackal snipers on Halo 2 made me rage so hard. I always thought that when playing Halo 3 I had just gotten better so the game was easier, little did I know that I hadn't gotten better...

This replay has given me a sense of hope though, I have not completed Halo 3 or ODST on mythic but now that I went back and played them again I realize it may not be too bad, at least compared to Halo 2 (with the exception of coastal highway on ODST, I swear Buck can't shoot anything, and Dare/the engineer are clinically retarded, missions where you have to rely on the AI are so fustrating).

I also didn't realize the mythic community was so young, some of you guys were like 7 when CE came out. Ridic


lol. I was 17 and am very much looking forward to reliving the experience in a few months :-)


I was 11 (What were my parents thinking?!? lol) when CE was released. It's interesting that something from so long ago is still called home to so many.

RC, I was talking about the bridge descent in general. I remember a video (can't find it) where you drop off like usual, but instead of air strafing around the rock face, you turn directly to face the cliff and hug it as tightly as you can. From there, it's easy to get down the rest of the way.

I still think they're harder than they look.

ODST is super simple; you're actually stronger than MC was in Halo 3!

Thats not the half of it dude: some of these guys were like, 2 when Pokemon came out.

EDIT: Something about Mythic Reach so I'm on topic.....

I'll hit Inheritor sometime in August and then I might return to speedrunning. But I'll be busy working my new job with a major YouTube gaming network, The Game Station, starting up an official Halo channel. With their support, I might become the face of the Halo YouTube community :) And speedruns are definitely something that I'm interested in showcasing.

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

You probably could quite easily though I'd imagine.

Myself on the otherhand don't feel like rising to a sub-3 challenge. I'm not concerned with Reach mythic anymore; too set for the future and Anniversary to speedrun Reach.

You have the best time because you're the only one trying. I'm quite confident that those people, and specially me, could beat that time.






I just don't feel like it.

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!

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

I am now at the corvette only the last part of the mission to go

As of now my enjoyment of mythic is gone I give up it is just way too hard and frustrating which makes it unplayable and not fun. maybe I will come back to it but I dont think so.

Yes long night of solace killed me when those crates I had set up in the hallway flew around and caused my death. It is frustrating because I was so far.

It isn't the difficulty but our old friend randomness that spoils my mission all the time. I dont want to deal with him any longer when I'm so far in a mission and something stupid like that kills me.

Don't give up now; you're so close. Instead of letting the randomness beat you, go clutch. After all, the mark of a good player is to take the unexpected and use it as an advantage. Sometimes it beats you, but eventually you will beat it. Keep trying and eventually you'll get it.

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

Is there anyway to speed up the space battles safely, it took me almost an hour and a half to get to the corvette. anad ways to safely speed up the comms room because that took me 20 minutes as the elites wounldn't come to me. They would just stand on the other side of the room cluelessly.

  • 07.26.2011 1:29 PM PDT

Halo Reach Mythic Conqueror

For me the key to the space battle is to really learn the limit of damage that you can take before you need to bail out and get away. Sometimes its completely against instinct and possibly foolish but if you are close to taking out a seraph and another one starts shooting you, you can take a few shots and you might just be able to kill the one you're shooting, then start flipping. Also something I didn't realize for a long time was you actually have full use of your weapons while boosting so you can close in on a target quickly and continue shooting. The more times you do it the more routine it will become and eventually space will be the easiest part of the mission for you.

Also in the second set of enemies when Anchor nine is online, you really only need to focus on the seraphs, there is a certain number that triggers the phantom but I'm not sure what it is. On the phantom wave I literally ignore everything except the phantoms and just unleash missiles on them while barrel rolling occasionally out of their cannon fire.

I've been working on a far more aggressive approach to the comms room battle that doesn't involve rocket gather and allows YOU to go to the Elites. I'll be posting it in a future episode of Third Person Mythic.

In terms of what you're going through, THAT is what separates the Mythic community from the rest of the Halo population, the ability to continue even in the face of incredible odds and continuing onward even after several humiliating failures.

Jew man man (aka DarkDevastation) was on his last Mythic mission for Halo 3, The Ark, which is also the most difficult mission in the game. He made it to the end three times only to die from a simple game mechanic. Despite what he went through, he still kept going, and eventually between him and the rest of the community, we were able to determine the problem, give him some tips, and he used them to conquer the mission and become one of our most talented speedrunners.

Bottom line, if you're a true conqueror, stick with it, and you will eventually be rewarded.

In New Alexandria, there are certain objectives that are not used all the time. On SLASO, how do you know where to go? Because if I search too long, the Banshees will just shoot me down.

Nice video, Tyrant! I squeal like a little girl every time I hear you say my name--I should probably tell my therapist about that.

For Nightfall, I much prefer the older method to take on the second group of Covies; I find that sniping the turret grunt and then legging it is a real coin-toss--we died quite a few times there, remember? Running around the back and assassinating the turret grunt seems to work more consistently for me.

I didn't know that about the host thing when it comes to the forklift, but I remember someone proposed a theory a few pages back: if we stayed back near the health pack (which we did) while one person forklifted, the enemies on the other side of the gate wouldn't spawn--as opposed to all of us running towards the forklift bridge which would spawn the phantom and the enemies on the other side of the gate.

Pretty sure that was me. I think the trigger to spawn enemies on the far side of the gate is near the front of the gate itself. This isn't an issue solo because once you're through the gate and the trigger is ready to get set off, you're already past it. But in co-op, your partner could still step into the triggering zone once it becomes active, which would cause issues.

I might test this later to find the exact zoning for the trigger...
