Subject: *Mythic Difficulty* Step by Step for Halo: Reach! (ALL SKULLS ON!!!)

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!

Fun before Victory.

Field Marshall stuck me. I'd ran out of ammo on Plasma Pistols but noticed he was standing still at one point and, seeing as how lowering his shields had failed so far, moved in to assassinate him. But he turned around at just the right moment to spoil my fun...and to put salt in the wound, threw a sticky at me instead to trying to melee me. :(

Still, cleared the landing pad quite easily this time. Bringing a full Needle Rifle, full DMR and the Concussion Rifle to it and using the DMR to beat the first wave. CR jumped to the Mac Gun once there were only 3 or 4 enemies left with the Needle Rifle in my hands and destroyed the second wave's non-Chieftan Phantom. Slaughtered Brutes and Jackels with the NR, destroyed both Phantoms of the third wave, then borrowed a Jackel's Plasma Pistol to battle the Chieftans with. Annoying, the only tricky thing in that run was the Field Marshall...and he beat me. :(

I honestly can't fathom the frustration that would come from that. Sorry dude. As for the feild marshal I would use one of teh duel wielders plasma rifles unless you couln't get to them. If not use grenades and needlers to cause him to dodge
around next time. Just like on Long Night.

If I had ammo left in the NR, I was going to make him go on a dodging spree and close the gap to kill him, but alas I couldn't reload after killing the FRG Chieftan and so assumed I had pretty much none left. Needlers weren't around either - Every Grunt has a Plasma Pistol. The Field Marshall just loved hiding out of sight of me after a dodge...

To be honest, it wasn't as irritating as it should have been. The Landing Pad went awfully well so that might have off-set the irritation.

Mythic is ALL skulls on.

Only the LASO weekly challenges don't require Blind (which removes your HUD and arms yes), because frankly its a sucky skull anyway.

If it didn't require blind most things aiming would become easy. Also teh pillar of awful landing pad battle becomes much easier

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Okay every time I get to the smelting room in Pillar of Autumn where you jump on top and despawn the hunters, the hunters always spawn on me!!! What am I doing wrong? I think it has something to do with the fact that I can't jump for -blam!- and it usually takes me (no exaggeration) 10 - 15 minutes to jump from the floor to the top. Do I have to do it in a certain amount of time?

Are you crouch-jumping?

You need to jump on top of the little barrel in the corner. Then you need to jump from there to the bronze ledge to the left. Then crouch-jump to the pipes. Do the same for the catwalk.

It's really easy. Maybe you have toggled crouch?

So, I decided I was being a little obsessive complusive in trying to improve my ONI run on the same day that I landed the world record. So, here you go:

Mythic ONI: Sword Base in 12:48: stats - Film

Managed to include the TL courtyard skip at the start after reviewing Sanghelioz' film of it more closely. Didn't use a TL at AirView so DMR and splattered instead, didn't come back for a Guass Hog at Farragut and just TLed the enemies as you come back into Sword Base. Lost a bit of time there fighting the last two Elites. Headshotted the Grunts in the garage, assassinated the Needler Elite and then Shotgunned/meleed/grenaded the hunters to death - so no messing around with trying to get the Guass hog over the barrier. Then, took WAAY too long at the final Phantoms and Banshees. The damn spec-ops Elites gave me hell which was why I was tentative about uploading it. But whatever, it's still fast.

Also have a new Packege run in 25:58 - film. The first part of the Glacier took me FOREVER; I was being too cautious. I was really, really, disappointed I didn't beat Dark's run.

And a new Nightfall run in 3:35 - Stats - Film.

Like I said, quite disappointed that I didn't beat Captain Majestik since I landed the Forklift skip first try: I need to work on my sprint timing on Mythic.

So, that brings my personal time for Mythic down to 2:34:47. And the world time to 2:33:56.

Do I have to do it in a certain amount of time?

No. I'm gonna take a guess and say that you moved around on the floor too far into the roof, thereby triggering the hunters. ONLY use the part of the catwalk at the very back of the room, do not pass the smelting pots.

Very impressive. Now go and beat Dark's Package run, claim the #1 record on every level and speedrun another Halo game. Try CEA when it comes out, though I'm not sure if some of the veteran speedrunners of CE will like you on their turf.

If only I succeeded on my 23 minute Package run. Damn Hunter at the door...

I'm not a fan of speedrunning tbh, I get too frustrated too easily when stuff goes wrong, and I can't stand having to start over and over again. I may be a perfectionist at times but that forced need for rushing irritates me to no end. Not to say I couldn't do it if I really tried, it's just a hassle in my eyes.

I feel your pain, I couldn't even begin to fathom if I had died at the end of that mission (I almost did too, almost died by unsuspected ghost, but saw grunts and got back in, ghost came out)
and don't even get me started on my mistake on ONI: Sword Base

Did you see how close I was to dying at the end of The Package? It seems to be a common occurance for people dying at the the very end of that mission.

Pillar of Autumn LASO Weekly Challenge in 18:43 with Full Commentary


Good job. Now do it on real Mythic.


Sounds like you don't think I could? If I have time I'll get to it, but I have a feeling RC has more time on his hands. Also after spending 2 days getting that LASOminusB run in, I agree with Aura that the frustration builds up and it might be a while before I want to even play that mission again.

Also someone should test using the concussion rifle to get to the mass driver after Keyes so you don't even have to go inside to play with the zealots. Not sure if this will lure in the Field Marshall but I have a feeling it will and you might even have time to activate the ending before you dance with him.

Not at all, I know full well how good you are. It's more that Mythic is more impressive than LASO. Despite that being very impressive, it would be even better on real Mythic.

I found that dealing with the FRG chief on the landing pad often involves him interrupting your fight with the Hammer chief whilst you try to concussion the latter of the edge.

If you're playing it smart, all you need is a single concussion round to the Hammer chief's back to knock him off, and generally you'll have 2 to 3 rounds left to use on the FRG chief.

From there, keep gaining and losing the FRG chief's attention by manuevering around the rocks and eventually he'll wander right down towards the edge of the bottom pad. Race out from cover, use whatever concussion you have left and launch that sucker off the edge. Works for me like a charm almost every time. Only hard part is getting him to move close enough to the edge in the first place, but it's by far one of the safest ways of dealing with him.
