So umm, you guys might find this to be interesting. Halo 2 being done SLASO/Mythic. Outskirts, Metropolis, Delta Halo, Quarantine Zone and Uprising have all been done in single segments.

Note: there are no films of the people getting all the skulls yet as these people are respected speed runners and highly trusted in the community.

@Aura Is it Rob Schnider?

Hmm, very interesting. I'm watching some now. And yeah, it was Rob Schnider from The Water Boy. Also, get on live so we can talk.

Edit: Now want's to do halo 2 Mythic. Hey Redbull do these guys all use unupdated xbox's with Halo 2 to exploit the glitches etc?

I'm pretty sure they are using un-patched xboxes they could possibly even be using PAL original xboxes.

I use a normal NTSC Xbox 360, but I do not have any of the patches.

Note, I am the one who did those H2 SLASO runs. Also I do have recordings of me getting all the skulls, I am just too lazy to add them to the recordings.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I'm glad to see even H2 SLASO/Mythic is being tamed.

Also gratz on getting T2T. Do you have the video of you doing it somewhere? I've only Duelies' one.

Yes, it is good to see H2 SLASO being attempted.

Congrats dude.
PoA in 15? go.

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

Nicely done, Gazas! You're almost there!

Interesting info about the Halo 2 Mythic progress as well. Again, I really have no desire to try it, so anyone who wants to step up to the plate on that one has my blessing. Four words:

1) Cairo Station
2) Regret
3) Gravemind

On a separate note, I'm looking to set up a fundraiser so I can purchase a Black Magic external capture card. It'll cost about $600 but will allow me to do guides for future Halo titles including Anniversary. Anyone have any tips on how I can go about doing this or the best way?

Eleventh Halo 3: ODST Mythic Conqueror
Fifth Halo: Reach Mythic Conqueror

I've heard that on Halo 2, that if you have too many skulls on, the game will stop giving you checkpoints to compensate for the memory usage.

At least Halo 2 has the plasma pistol and Black Eye overshields! I believe you can melee allies as well. 99% Of Cairo Station would be meleeing Johnson.

Never happened to me when I had them all on when I tried SEASO ages ago.

Actually you can melee just about anything and gain overshields from it. So long as it can be broken you'll generally gain shields back from it upon it's total destruction or the point at which it's hidden HP so to speak drops to 0. Examples include destroying ghosts or warthogs with a melee, gateposts, and even those traffic stopper, yellow and black things on Outskirts and Metropolis.

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

On long night the third wave in the pelican gun seems to take forever because the elites get their shields partially down then they go back into cover, recharge and it happens all over again is there any way to do this faster.

Away with you, troll!

Tyrant has a job, but it forces him to travel between two states right now. Add a girlfriend on top of that and it's pretty easy to see why he would need some help purchasing some extra equipment...

Got your back, buddy!

IIRC, checkpoint shortages do occur.

The plasma pistol requires 2 overcharges. While Black Eye is actually beneficial (as you can see by the Metropolis single segment run), Mythic is not. Dual wielding plasma pistols is useful when the enemy has not noticed you. I used it at the bomb room battle (obviously, I got there by modding, as I was testing) on the first Elite, but after that, I had difficulty landing it on the other Elites without dying. I once managed to get 1 of the Needler Elites, which prompted the remaining Elites to come to my position. I've found plasma rifles to be more effective, especially when you can see just a leg or arm sticking out. If they can't see you, they won't move, so you get an easy kill.

Actually, Ghost makes it difficult to move Johnson around. You have to setup strategic blockades to move him. It takes around 2-3 hours to move him to the first hangar.

Single segmented Cairo Station with no deaths is a killer... but I'm pretty sure Monopoli will find a way to beat it. All I know is that you can't skip the hangar battle.

  • 08.04.2011 11:15 AM PDT

This is true that the game will not give you near as many checkpoints. Also, meleeing Sarge around will do no good because all enemies are invisible, therefore, allies are useless.

I just realized that you meant to melee sarge for health,but that also will not work because you must kill whatever you are meleeing to get health.

Wanted to pitch an idea regarding TPM...

Since getting folks together can get complicated at times, I vote for allowing a random (willing) community member join us for a some of our runs. Of course they would need to be of a certain age and willing to follow orders as well as work with the rest of the team, but it could be interesting to get other involved in what we do :-)


I'm game for this. Just give me a heads up of when you'd like to try a stage. Weekends are your best bet if you want to catch me.

On the LASO weekly challenge, when I save&quitted to finish and so experimented a little, I found that the Elites would sometimes fall off the top ledge in their attempts to stick Jorge from up there. I positioned myself under said ledges and got both killed via assassinations when they did excatly this.

I do think it's a little too risky for a Mythic run, especially with the wave that follows if you don't get back in the Pelican quickly, so I'd just stay in the gun. It slower, but it's also FAR safer and will work eventually. The Elites seemed to flee from Jorge more than from me, so maybe somehow preventing Jorge from fighting would be helpful.

You also need to kind of make sure they can't run back when you have them in sight. The gun is powerful enough to knock them around so it really shouldn't be that bad, and if it is, I would not risk anything so far into the mission.

On the contrary buddy. I think he's useful as a distraction. I assassinate sword Elites while they're trying to kill him. I can name several instances in which Johnson was useful, there's more than 5.

But without him, I don't know if Cairo Station is possible (because of the first hangar room battles).

Not really. I meleed Johnson for positioning.

  • 08.04.2011 1:28 PM PDT

I know of a possible trick to skip the first hangar. It has never actually been done, but I know that it is possible. As for the second hangar, I think I can find a way to do it.
