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 am planning to create it tonight then post it.

I really have no idea what to do my quest for mythic to go with solace or go with PoA I am entertained by solace a lot more. I just really need to start trying mythic again. I haven't had an attempt since last August and I have plenty of time for one sice then.


I think we'd also love to see you finally get Solace under your belt as would you.

By the way, have I ever mentioned how much I love your name? :-)

Hey guys I am a huge Halo Fan and I am very committed to different Halo areas. Bungie.net is the best! I have this little piece of Halo with me wherever I go. And no, Halo is not actually pie, it just tastes really good.

I just wanted to give my thanks to Tyrant for taking all the time to do this. These guides were a huge help to me,and make the weekly challenges on Reach actually do-able.

Thanks Tyrant, How I got it is a rather silly story.

Yes its all about finding out which mission I can do PoA or LNoS. I think its solace though. For me this is how I will be ready for one.

1) I am good at the mission and die only from randomness.
2)I have to be in the mentality for one and not sort of scared of failing.
3) Find time (This is easy on weekends) but I can only have one try a week with school and all.

2 is the largest problem I really want to complete solace but don't want to fail so I put it off. I guess I just need to wing it.

EDIT: after trying to get the video filmed I failed at the battle (12 skulls on) becuase I was stuck by a grenade that missed George. I'll get it up tommorow.

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

Got the film up here

It currently isn't rendered but I'll work on that.

If you watch it the strategy is solid but my execution isn't cautious almost stupid at some points which caused me to almost die twice.

Interesting. The first half of the video is rather reminiscent of how we used to go about that fight back before the pelican gun glitch, but I will admit you surprised me by abusing the AI's tendency to head up the ramp to engage you at the top. I wasn't aware of that trait per se probably because back when I did go up the ramps I just thought they were after my blood with renewed vigour. Nice work, though that was a very close call with the duel-wielder however. You could either refine the whole sword approach or look at alternatives like plasma pistol peppering etc.

For some reason I've been having alot of trouble with the forklift glitch in Nightfall lately. The grunt turret gunners keep waking up and blowing my forklift and myself sky high while I'm trying to park it in parallel to the gate. Would it be better to just go around assassinating everyone but a few stragglers before I do the glitch?
Once I can figure this out and stop failing at my Exodus jump skip to the fuel rod chieftan I'll be keen to do a Mythic run.

I've been having trouble with it too. That skip used to be second nature to me; now, it's not uncommon for me to take five minutes at that part.

There really isn't a safe way to pepper him because he always is spraying his plasma rifles. The duel-wielder dance is the best so far. The energy sword way can be refined because the sword takes time to draw maybe a grande to the side would be better so your not vulnerable when drawing the sword.

Um, if you start getting shot at you need to get out IMMEDIATELY and engage whoever it is thats shooting you. It's usually Jun that is waking them up. You don't need to assassinate everyone (and thats bascially impossible with Jun around anyway), just kill the ones on the pylon and maybe a grunt or two will round the corner from near the hut sometimes, take them out too.

Eyepatch skull removes autoaim, and Foreign skull means you can't pick up covenant weapons! CEA SLASO is sounding more fun already.

Although we never really considered it before, auto-aim was kind of a blessing, now without it I reckon that it's actually gonna be pretty difficult. As for foreign, that really is a kick in the teeth as the needler was our little godly elite killer friend for CE. If it removes the ability to pickup plasmas AND get in covie vehicles too that's gonna really suck bigtime.

So just to get a little idea of how this'll play out:
- We'll have infinite ammo, but drain our rounds twice as fast. (Bandana, Recession)
- We're limited to UNSC weaponry only (AR, Pistol, Rockets, Sniper, Frags, Shotgun) (Foreign).
- Picked up weapons will still have half ammo initially, so reload your clip on pickup. (Famine)
- We'll keep our HUD's considering we aim not to die, but there won't be autoaim or a motion sensor. (Malfunction, Eyepatch, Fog)
- Chain explosions will be freaking uncanny. (Grunt Funeral, Grunt Birthday, Boom, Pinata)
- Enemies will have 2x health and melee's are still the only way to get shields back. (Mythic, Black Eye.)
- And as usual you die = you restart. (Iron)

The only real thing to look out for is those major chain explosions caused by grenades. The scenario will play out like this:

Kill grunt (headshot optional) > drops grenade > grunt explodes > nearby grenades also explode > Boom = CHAOS!!! > Either all enemies dead or you're dead.

@Eli: I saw the skulls link on Sunday afternoon as well, but is there any way to verify the authenticity of the information provided? Everything sounds plausible, and the site itself is reputable, but just wondering what the source is for this information, or if they got it from 343i themselves somehow.

@Aura (and everyone else): Can't wait for CEA Legendary runs, Legendary all skulls on runs, and Legendary all detrimental skulls on (LADSO).

You need to get in Covie vehicles to actually complete some missions so they won't have done that unless they're utterly stupid. (see: Keyes, Two Betrayals)

EDIT: Beat Eli's LASO Challenge run on Mythic. New time to beat is 8:27.

Which is faster than the Legendary run now...

Not sure how authentic, but HBO referenced them as a reliable source. Only time will tell. And by time I mean in 2 weeks we'll find out for real.

Refresh my memory, when on Keyes do you need a covie vehicle? (not counting banshees at the end)

And I think the skull only disallows weapons, not vehicles.

Well thats exactly when you need the vehicle. IIRC, thats the only way to finish the level.

That's correct. The final cutscene of you flying away doesn't initiate until you've actually entered the banshee, after which it commences almost immediately.

But the mission won't end if you just enter the hanger and wander around or stand next to the vehicles.

The names of the skulls have been verified by 343i in the latest Halo Bulletin. AFAIK, their effects have not been verified, though I'm guessing those are correct since the names were correct.

@Tyrant: Big fan of the videos, both the Mythic and LASO varieties.

I was watching through your recent LASO video of The Package and noticed that at about 36:40, someone from Noble Team goes flying straight up into the air, and I'm not talking just a little height. They get even with the the top of the lab before coming back down.

Any idea who it was and what in the world happened?
