If I have time I'll get to it, but I have a feeling RC has more time on his hands.

This month, yes. Next month. Zero time.

Of course it was that 1/10 time
Watch any run where people mass driver jump and watch the frg chieftan

I just watched my own film and the troopers barely scratched him. *shrugs*

Also, I found that on pillar of autumn, the marines will bring down the frg chieftans shields 9 times out of 10 if you're on the mac gun, eliminating all challenge except for the jump

I've noticed this too, but have only ever seen it occur at the excat time his shields recharge, so haven't been able to take advantage of that. Tried watching him for when his shields drop too - He just turns around and fires at me.

Failed at the Mac Gun segment. Decide to Save & Quit to do it again to reassure myself I can do it, since I did really badly, and annoyingly did it the next try. Instead of 3, it's every 4 ships then the overhead Phantom as it doesn't come into firing range for a small while after the third kill. A while long enough to fire another shot.

Still need to do a proper Mythic run with every part done well...but I do know I've done every part well fairly recently. It's just a matter of stringing the parts together.

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!

It happens like every time for me except when I want it recorded :(
I doubt I'll be lucky enough for it to happen on my mythic run, anyone got a near always or always strategy for him?

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.


:D Glad to see it got used in a full run, every time I've pulled it off I've been killed by some random bull-blam!- later in the level.

Had a really good Mythic run on PoA; was at the 11 min mark in the second smelting room, but I got killed by the jackals :/

Eli's video has spurned me on to get a sub 25 run in for this level and I reckon I can pull it off in time.

Thanks, I'm consistently getting to the second smelting room at around the 8-9 minute mark on most runs so I've got that nailed for the most part.

So far my best run was cut short by the invisible sword elite who decided to rush me. Finished off the jackal snipers and just had that feeling, so I look to my left and he's about 2 metres away. DMRing him did nothing and he cut me down. Dark was in the party so he knows what I was like, mostly going "NO! Why?! Oh god?! WHY?! NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!" The time was 8:38 in post game stats.

Most recent and most successful run had me get to the pad only to realise I forgot to pick up the remaining needle rifles in the second smelting room. Time was 12:36 in post game stats.

I'll admit Eli's vid has helped a lot. That BoB you encountered too btw Eli seems to have taken an awfully strong liking to me now as he's almost always there too. Managed to assassinate him in one run and in another I thought he'd just let me punch him so I was like "Free shields :D" but instead he just whacks and kills me instead :/

My encounters with BoB often involved him throwing a nade at me on first sight, then a dodge, then either another dodge or a despawn. It's like our little thing now <3

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.

I danced with the Hammer Chieftain, assassinated the FRG Chieftain, and peppered the PL Chieftain.

Wasn't that bad, actually.

Looks like my Exodus luck is creeping into my POA runs since the time I reached the Mac Gun. How often do 4 Jackels jumping out the same Phantom all carry Needlers? Happened to me TWICE now! Doesn't present an issue vs the Hammer Chieftan but fighting his friend without a Plasma Pistol...

wow without a plasma pistol the FRG chiefton is hard very hard. If you don't have acess to plasma pistols my recomendation. is sniper or DMR/granade launcher/some epic dodging would do the trick. By the way my Exodus luck was excellent. Struggling on practice but got the dang mission on my first try.

I've been trying to Concussion him off the cliff after luring him close to it, like I'd done to the Hammer Chieftan. Something I've considered trying if lack of PPs happens again is using the Hologram to get his attention. While he's attacking it, assassinate him.

Glad to see I'm getting you back on the speedrunning bandwagon! Dude that BOB is there every other run, and yes I once thought "Hey free shields!" and he punched me in the goddamn face lol.

My best LASO-minus-Blind run was actually 15 MINUTES AT THE FIELD MARSHALL and I got blasted on the jump up to the mass driver :( So I know it can be done under 17 min.

I advise that you get even angrier. I'd been failing a lot at it until one day had been awful for me and I ended up in a foul mood. Mid-way through a Mythic Run already, I decided to finish it off. That was my successful run. lol

I'm a little mad, ok, I'm very mad, I was going to try poa offline because my internet is garbage (for now) and I got an awesome fail. Problem being, "this content was created offline and cannot be uploaded to your file share"
This makes me pretty argry, I know I can't replicate it and because of the one per theater lobby thing I can't show it to anyone else. I tried to upload another file earlier that showcased the mass driver jump because I have some weird issue where I can't download files from people who aren't my friends (I have none of you guys added or attempted to add, it would be cool but I don't want to pester any of you) file shares from time to time, that happened to be that one time. Well needless to say the weekly passed because of awful upload speed (I got it, but his computer was unusable, so he couldn't youtube it).
I hate this internet, I can't even just do mythic offline because it won't save stats and I don't has pretty blue flames offline :(((((

I think the censors for Xbox Live just got updated and MUCH stricter. My gamertag's apparently a bad name...which means I can't upload stuff to my fileshare because "the name of the creator of this file is not allowed on Xbox Live". That means I won't be able to upload my Mythic Autumn film when I manage it unless I change my tag...and I don't really intend to. It was fine for four years. Why is it suddenly not allowed?
