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

They've been doing LASO's for awhile now, and they do champion my guides. Perhaps that's why it's been moved from a Weekly to a Daily.

Halo 3 Mythic Conqueror #11
ODST Mythic Conqueror #2
Reach Mythic Conqueror #2
Halo: CEA Mythic Conqueror #1
Halo 4 Mythic Conqueror #1

Just a heads up, 4 skulls have already been found in Anniversary. One on PoA, one on Halo, one on Silent Cartographer and one on 343 Guilty Spark.

Honestly I'm disappointed in Shishka; he said they'd be hard to find. 3 of these you would probably find just by mucking around. The one on Halo however you wouldn't likely find without a guide.

Also, apparently locations for all skulls and terminals have been revealed. Some are accurate so far, others are a little off. Regardless, if you don't want spoilers stay away from the CEA forum on xbox360achievements.org.

I'll be doing achievement guides for CEA along with terminal videos and skull locations and the anticipated SS SLASO, so if you guys are interested check out my channel here.

How is that possible? How does that guy have the game already?
It can't have been leaked, can it?
That sucks, regardless.

Apparently people who work in game stores got the shipments of CEA a couple of days ago and generally the employees will take one home for themselves, or hook up their mates with a copy. Likely what happened here.

Oh and 5 have been found now; another one on the Library.

Soooo, anyone else do the ToS and not get the challange complete 13K yesterday. I completed it co-op with a friend once and solo atleast three times. spent hours and hours which i don't mind because I love campaign. I do feel cheated though.

  • 11.11.2011 6:12 AM PDT

Since it IS LASO and not mythic, you can "cheat" by saving and quitting. With your guides it really shouldn't take ANYONE more than 3 hours for any LASO (multiple attempts, save/quitting), save LNOS or PoA.

Yeah, I did the save/quit on the solo games. I had three runs once I was in the Spire with no deaths. Challenge was active each time.

I got the challenge 25 minutes Saved and quit once at the end. Who wants to redo the mission from that point anyway.

No time. Been working on the last two LASO Challenge videos, prepping for the next WOX video, and working on something special for next week (hope I finish it in time).

  • 11.11.2011 3:11 PM PDT

I can't do that it's hard I only finished 1 level with laso so hard if yr a pro do you have for other strategies

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

I tried co-op campaign and it sucked. Connection was terrible every move I made took almost half a second to actually register. On Exodus the teammates I had were total annoyoces because they constantly betrayed the alies turning them on me. We never got a checkpoitn and I didn't gie until the last objective when they died and I died too. Sending us to traxus tower. I then booted a player who betrayed me twice and then left frustrated.

It's not that hard but there are a few moments where it seems impossible. I did it with all skulls except blind. I'm not putting a blue tac on my screen for a crosshair, like all the others do! lol..

The hardest map was Night Of Solace where you first enter the corvette with the white elites down below.

In a little over 8 hours I'll be picking up my copy of CEA and I'm completely intent on getting all my skull hunting done and dusted day one.

Also, interesting yet annoying fact: the Grunt Funeral skull preorder merely unlocks the skull for finding in the campaign, not straight up unlocking it. I can't find any videos of where it could be either which is a pain.

what does the grunt funeral skull actually do?

  • 11.14.2011 10:06 AM PDT

WOW, HCEA Mythic will be a joke...the Grunt Funeral + Boom Skull is HAX. Kill one grunt and (sometimes) it'll take out a WHOLE room. I killed one on Assault on the Control Room and heard TWO elites die 10 seconds later after multiple other explosions. Its a domino effect. OH, Bandana gives you infinite nades, too. Even if Stickies are out lobbing frags all day will kill ANYTHING.

I'm going to stop you right there. Having been experimenting with CEA SLASO, yeah the whole chain reaction thing is going to be helpful only about 10-20% of the time. No kidding, those grenades have an enormous blast radius and if you're even remotely near to one you're totally -blam!-.

On another topic, in every Halo game, some skulls have little side effects besides the obvious and CEA is no exception.

- Enemies flinch less (likely from Mythic)
- Elite and Flood melee range is increased by ~ x2(Boom perhaps?)
- Infinite nades alongside infinite ammo (Bandanna)
- Grenade explosive radius is more along the lines of anywhere from tripled to quintupled. Doubled is really an understatement here as you can die so easily from explosions seemingly nowhere near you. (Boom)
- Black Eye seems to only increase shields incrementally instead of one hit > can fully charge. *Needs some more testing*
- Lack of auto-aim screws you up way, way, way more than you'd think. It's like awkwardly flinging your cursor around when trying to betray people in multiplayer; missing half your shots and only landing a few.

Aside from those, it's the usual. And to you 'detrimental skulls only' guys, seriously, you won't be able to do this without stuff like bandanna. CEA SLASO is cruel just from first impressions with all skulls on, and I can't possibly fathom doing it with detrimental skulls only.

P.S. We really need a new forum for the CEA discussion. If people want to keep it public, I'd suggest heading to the Waypoint forums and starting an 'Official' thread there. Otherwise we keep discussion to MythicNation. We've gone almost completely off-topic from Reach Mythic now.

Infinite H1 plasma grenades with tripled explosion radius?

That should make things quite a bit easier. Even with Mythic on.

You'll be interested in my latest tweet.

Yes, I will be doing an Anniversary Mythic Guide, and yes the definition will remain the same... Legendary, all skkulls on, and no deaths or saves :)

Already spoke with both 343 and HBO. It will be done.

You should really just call it a 'LASO' guide which assumes you're not a cheater. That term is already pretty widely known and doing so avoids sullying the good name of Mythic.

Definitely Mythic Nation :)

But listen to Aura. The reason I adopted the Mythic concept in Halo 3 was because the campaign was significantly easier than the previous two games. We needed a challenge.

When it came to Reach, we spent most of our time skipping large portions of most of the missions to avoid the atrocity that is the Reach Mythic Elite. I'm not saying it's impossible, but the impression I get is that the assistant of skulls such as Bandana were granted to us to give us less reason to try and skip sections. In all seriousness, I really don't see how using Bandana (when used against the other skulls) is any cheaper than clipping through a wall using a forklift. But then again, that's only my opinion.

Because one is a precise application of skill and knowledge, and the other is just holding down the trigger?
