BTW Tyrant, for the comms room on Multi-Mythic, have you thought about one person taking the rockets, and the other the sword, so that as soon as the second Elite comes floating up, the person with the rockets drops down and gets the two on the consoles. That would leave just the dual-weidlers.

Sometimes we were waiting around for a while there.

Anyway, good to play with you guys; failing together rather than failing alone! YAY!

EDIT: Don't know if you guys realised this, but at the Beach I was staying near the shore so I could pop some of the Grunts and Jackals with the Pistol. Always managed to get a few while Sanghelioz was playing with the Wraith and once managed to (with Noble Team's help) clear nearly all of them. :D

If you're having trouble assassinating the Rangers on the consoles, try hitting them more in their right shoulders rather than square on their backs. I bring Sprint to the Sabre fight so after I assassinate them, I can drop down and GTFO to a safer place and to grab the hologram to deal with the rest; I then wait for the remaining two elites (they're dual-wielders) to take flight and then I pepper them with my plasma pistol. It makes things easier.

If you combine that with your rocket strategy, comms should be easy. Also, I would pepper the elites--I didn't know that an overcharge and then a few headshots would be better.

Congrats gazas. I'm glad you finished, I wonder if I'll ever find the inclination to finish it off.
Thanks! It's good to see you again! :P Yeah definitely, all I really had to do was to get off my ass and start up Campaign. Couldn't be assed, but I guess that since I'm moving out soon and starting university I wanted to get it done with.

Thanks Tyrant, I'm definitely there or at least I'll try to be if you seem to need a guy.

Hi, my name is Stolen_Zombie! My morning routine is to bomb the ocean, eat a house, drink salt water, and kill a zombie. Many people consider me a jack ass because I eat corn flakes, I tell those people to go have sex with a kangaroo. After my morning routine, I rage over beating LNoS on mythic so I can get one step closer to mythic reach completion. I should mention that's after school. My diet is shotgun shells and paper airplanes, nice to meet you!

That's gotta suck not beating LNoS
Oh well I'm sure you'll get it, you all have a lot more patience than I do, A LOT more

How far did you make it? And I like RC's idea, it's a good thing to experiment a bit, even if it might mean a little more time spent on playing. At least that's how me and Dark managed to get around.

We weren't trying that. We'd brought loads of rockets from the Beach, and Rocketing them is usually safer and easier than assassinating them anyway. But my point was that Tyrant had both the rockets and the sword and couldn't really do both before the Troopers dropped down and alerted them.

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

I'm really liking our new strategy that seems to involving having the Rangers stare at the people up top while I move around for the assassination. It's worked really well so far :-)

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

by the way the hanger one battle when the elites charge you is risky if you use the overcharge. (at least to me) If I miss one then using another overcharge usually results in death. So I just pepper them instead before they actually get to me.

If I remember correct then Tyrant did miss a couple of times with the Plasma Pistol which was annoying since the Elite kept shooting at the crate that we were hiding behind and flipped it over us all the time. I don't remember how the difference in ammo is when peppering and when using the overcharge. But it could be better. However, when playing with more people I wouldn't be as concerned, worst case scenario the Elite actually gets to us and punches one of us.

True story.

And when doing Quad-Mythic, we usually have two players peppering the Elites while the other two use mid range weapons to land the headshot.

Yeah that's really the only thing that you need to worry about on New Alexandria. Everything else is easy. It is just tip top randomness stick with it and you'll get it. I just can't wait to do that mission.

Yeah, the beginning had the most trouble, kat was just a plain coward about the concussion rifle elite after the elevator, and I was trying to kill the general for so long I just hit the switch from the outside and went along my way :)

It isn't kaizo mario hard, don't worry

I kind of like RC's idea about having someone else use the sword. I'd volunteer, as having Sprint might make it easier to use. We can still have the other two distract elites from up top, so it's really just a combination of multiple strategies.

With the sword, I can take care of the two jumpers, and as soon as the second starts coming up, Tyrant, you can drop to the beam and rocket a dual-wielder at their starting position before retreating to 12 O'Clock with your drop-shield. Then it's just mopping up the other dual-wielder and two repeaters.

Another idea is having me gather at least two rockets from the beach, as I can usually get a good angle on the dual-wielders from the 6 O'clock position and jump back into space with no problem. two teammates with rockets might make the fight go faster, y'know?

Halo 2 SLASO is far more insane than Reach, ODST, and 3 SLASO.

The Assassins skull is primarily the reason why.

Oh the pain! As close as you can get to finishing POA (and my mythic campaign) - died in the mass driver at the end. Can't believe it. You guys aren't wrong calling it a coin toss - after my death I saved/quit and loaded it up again, did exactly the same thing and finished it alive (both next-to-if-not-full health, 2 elites left who didn't hit me running to the gun, and holo set out just before hopping in). Crud. Crud crud.

That's gotta suck man! I never load up the game again if I die, just makes me angry if I manage to complete it, unless I need the practice. How do you deal with the Elites?
