Ugh, fell asleep whilst doing PoA last night. I wake up and find myself sleepily staring at Boneyard...

Stupid PoA. All of yesterday I kept getting to the landing pad and kept getting continually bs killed. And the one time I almost got past the 3rd wave of enemies, the dmr crate had shot itself out of the wall early on and I had to improvise with an assault rifle to get rid of the brutes helmets. It's a real pain when they don't want to stop moving but surprisingly enough it works to great effect if you can do it well.

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

ONI: Sword Base complete.

Like I said, I did a few things differently here than I've seen so far, so hopefully you'll find the video to be useful. I wasn't a huge fan of the rocket passenger in the Warthog bit since the Elite's still seem to be able to dodge them with ease. Sure, eventually they'll be able to take them out, but I don't really want to stand there forever doing next to nothing while the AI does all the work :-P None the less, it's about 50 minutes long.

Enjoy!


I SHOULD have been trying to beat LNOS, but I got carried away with the daily and weekly challenges and then my friend came online...

Good job though. What's next, Tip of the Spear? It's a lot easier than Sword Base.


Yup. Followed by Exodus. I'm not really looking forward to the last three. lol. But once I get the other two knocked out of the way, I'll start working on the official guide. I'd like to get it underway sooner rather than later, even if the last three missions really do end up taking longer than expected.

Is there such a thing as too much video games?

I know I want to beat LNOS, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Maybe that's the reason you're farther than I am LOL.

I've actually found a few useful things for ONI Sword Base that I have yet to see anyone else try.

However, I'm guessing that by now people HAVE found the bit inside the base that allows you to prevent the General and other enemies from spawning. Am I right to assume?


Wait, there's a general that spawns? Wow, I've been skipping enemy spawns without even knowing it! If only i'd made it that far on my Mythic attempts... :P

Just got done with TotS and thats puts me at 4/9. Had a little trouble at the second AA gun since the Wraith decided not to fall off the cliff like I saw in other people's runs. Lucky for me, the Ultra never showed up so I didnt have to worry about him stealing the Falcon and could just focus on the Hunters.

Not sure which mission Im going to do next. Maybe Exodus or just practice the landing pad spot for PoA since that looks like the hardest part for that level.

Too much video games? No, definately no. Nah jks, we've all got to draw the line somewhere. I'll draw that line once I'm finally done with PoA though ;) Thankfully all my assessment for this term isn't due for a few weeks, most of which are exams anyway so I'm still good for my game-school life balance.

And I know I want to beat PoA, chieftains just don't want me to :(

Fall off the cliff? The second of two possible Wraiths you mean? Is that really what happens? i thought it just didn't spawn..

Ive only seen 1 wraith in that area during Mythic runs and whenever it didnt appear in someone's video, I found it stuck on a ledge next to the blown up bridge. Ive never bothered to rewind and see how it got there.

  • 10.11.2010 3:49 PM PDT

It's true. One of the Wraiths on TotS is the (timeline wise) predecessor to the Wraith on the Covenant and tends to drive off a cliff. I've only seen it happen once, but there are plenty of times where when I get there it's not there, so I know what happened.

Died by the same Chieftain on PoA. I walked in to a shot from the Plasma Launcher that would have missed otherwise.

GT: The Depleted

Hey guys!

I doubt I'm remembered around here but I discovered Mythic thanks to the SMRC last year - and beating Halo 3 on Mythic was easily the most rewarding achievement of my Halo career. (I've got a couple of you fellow Mythic junkies added on Xbox LIVE, my GT is: THE Depleted!)

So I couldn't resist trying Reach on Mythic after lurking around this topic and I've done a few of the easier missions now:

Winter Contingency

Tip of the Spear

Nightfall

The hardest thing I've done so far is the damn Falcon to the spire in Tip of the Spear! Seriously! How I hate set pieces! Though thanks to RC Master's video I eventually managed to beat TotS in 26 minutes.

Anyway, which mission do you think I should go for next? I was thinking Sword Base or Exodus! Any major advice for either I should be aware of?

I can make it to the bridge on LNoS, but then everything hits the fan.
I attempted assassinating the crew, but the Elite who walks past the Grunt staring at the Reach projection knew I was there before I took his buddy on the workstation out.
Am I doing something wrong?


Did you make the animated assassination? They make a lot of noise. The normal assassination won't alert the others. Or maybe a misplaced grunt noticed you.


I was doing it quietly like in Aura's vid. The enemies were all in the right places too, but as soon as I moved for ym second kill (Spec Ops Elite on a workstation) his buddy turned around and yells. Needless to say things went bad seeing as I didn't have a Plasma Pistol.

The rest of the missions plz?

I did the same thing when I went through a practice run for Sword Base, and I didn't notice it at first. It's quite useful though.

I wish I had more time. I haven't run through Sword Base in awhile.

And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can to keep it stable - keep you safe. I'm not so foolish to think this will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions.

I have come to the sad conclusion that mythic is NOT possible solo. It will require 3+ people with plasma pistols, all shooting overcharged shots at same time, or 4 people, 1 with dmr, 3 with pps, to beat the game. Or a year or two by yourself.

Welcome back and congratz on how much you've done so far :-)

I've heard Exodus isn't THAT bad, but I haven't tried it out for myself yet, so I can't say for sure. ONI: Sword Base isn't bad either once you've made it past the first battle, so you might want to give that one a spin as well :-)

Good to hear from you!

After getting the "Roast 'em, Toast 'em" challenge with my buddy today, I tried to show him my path on the underside of the builidngs to skip the battles. There's a beam on which it's easy to land next to a beam just below a death-barrier (god damn you Bungie) which means you have to land on these little triangle-shaped alcoves instead. It's a tiny space, which means you pretty much have to crouch to get into them which spells disaster for a toggle to crouch man such as myself. Surely, there must be an easier way to go at it.

But enough talk of other levels! I must concentrate all my mental energy on LNOS. The level is actually not that bad if you break it down. The only hard parts are the bridge and those final four elites. The rangers don't present that much of a problem for me; I hope to finish the level soon so I can show you guys. I spent today playing matchmaking with my friend. I have school tomorrow, so I can't stay up late tonight.

Good night all.

Tyrant, glad to see you're doing mythic for Reach as well, your H3 videos helped me to beat the campaign on legendary, I even did some multi-skull runs. What I'm wondering is if you're going to do narration for each segment like in the version 1.0 guide? I found it very informative.

Thanks again for the tips Legendary, they've helped. Now if only I could get that far in a real run. I seem to crash into EVERYTHING in space at the moment. I'm going to stop for today and hopefully beat it tommorow.


Thanks to your tip I made it yesterday past the rangers, but I died in the bridge. I hope I can beat it today.

Exodus was horrible for me. I died at the final area at least 10 times, seriously.
Hammer Chieftain killed me AFTER activating the final switch
Wraith mortared me while I was about to Jet pack.
Ghost killed me while rushing the last switch
Jackal killed me while rushing the last switch
Grunt killed me while rushing the last switch.
I think you get the idea, anyway, back to LNoS, I'm about to land on the Corvette.
