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

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.


And to all the haters:

Thanks :-)

I'd certainly like to add narration. I didn't for ODST due to the massive tiem constraint, but I don't see that being an issue this time around. The plan is to start working on the guide as soon as I have Tip of the Spear and Exodus complete. On the bright side of Exodus, at least there aren't any Elites :-)

Just finished Winter Contingency on mythic never really been a mythic man but legendary was to easy for me


Welcome to the phenomenon :-)



Thanks man, also finished night fall now as well, what do you think i should try next.


Tip of the Spear seems to be one that others have been able to get through rather quickly. You might want to give that one a go. Ang gratz on your latest achievement :-)

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

Just noticed Legendary smile beat LNoS. Congrats #1, but I can't hide the fact that I'm pissed off. I'm an overly competitive person and this marks the second time that I would've likely come runner up. I'll be gracious in defeat now, but to people like Vince and Dark, the race is still on for #2.

I guess tomorrow is another day, and another attempt at PoA. Ugh, once I'm finally done with that level I'm not touching the campaign for a good long while.

This doesn't mark the true end of Mythic in Halo though, a certain article on Joystik one of my friends told me about had info from MS that they plan on starting another 2 Halo trilogy's by 2012, and a feature film by 2014. I guess in 2 years time, I could very well be gunning for #1 if skulls make a return.

Edit: I almost forgot that when I do get solo mythic done, I'll be jumping straight into co-op Mythic with my bud T3h Blu Bomber just like with ODST. Hopefully we'll be the first team to beat Reach mythic so we've still got something to aim for.

Congratulations Legendary!
I'm still at 7/9, however with Legendary's tips, should be 8/9 very soon.

Thanks again. Off all the missions I think PoA is the most difficult.

Here are my games stats:
Winter contingency
Oni: Sword base
Nightfall
Tip of the spear
Long Night of Solace
Exodus
New Alexandria
The package
The pillar of Autumn

I've got all the saved films, but I don't have bungie pro. So I only put some of them in my file share.

Btw I wont play co-op mythic so good luck with that.

I just started up Lone wolf on mythic. No eagle on the helmet or anything else. Damn, would be so nice to see a mythic ending.

More Halo makes me happy, but two trilogies? I really hope that's what Ryan James meant "isn't an accurate representation of [Microsoft's] plans for the Halo franchise," 'cause 6 games is just overkill. I'd be happy with another game or two about what happens to Master Chief and Cortana, but 6? They couldn't all be about MCC. I'm giving 343 the benefit of the doubt for their first game or two (I can't imagine them being too bad), but I doubt they could continue to crank out Bungie-quality Halo games for that long. I'll probably buy them, but.... ugh, that's just way too much.

In terms of on-topic discussion, I'm gonna try to stay away from Medal of Honor as long as I can as I'd like to finish Mythic Reach before I get too involved with MoH, but I seriously doubt I'll be able to hold out that long. Maybe starting Swordbase right after buying MoH will help bury the temptation.

  • 10.12.2010 8:11 AM PDT

I will try later to re-do the rally point bravo of PoA on Mythic (without scoring on) to see if there is something like a Mythic ending in this mission, but now I've got to do my homework :(

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

if it is two trilogies one will probably be a halo wars trilogy with the other being a master chief trilogy

An interesting notation:

It seems that whenever there are two Elites commandeering a Wraith, the Wraith becomes NEAR INVINCIBLE. Seriously, I footage of me taking on a Wraith in Tip of the Spear. The first one fell to the Ghost rather quickly. Second one reached "damaged state" nearly as fast, but as soon as an Ultra hopped in the secondary gunner seat, it wouldn't die. I sat there for about half an hour pounding it with the Ghost (and finally with the Revenant) before the thing blew up. Ridiculous!

Weird, the second wraith I killed on ONI: Sword Base had two ultras in it (the elite jumped in the gun after I killed the grunt) and it died from a single frag grenade plant... then again, I guess internal explosions would take down anything regardless of health...

smart, interesting, seems out of place.

I know this is random, but is there a alternate ending for doing Mythic? People keep saying thats how you get it. Oh ya I'll have to try Mythic, but I WILL avoid BoBs and anything else that could -Blam!- me. I've been needing a suicide mission.

BAH-WEEP-GRANA-WEEP-NINI-BONG?

Sweet. I highly enjoyed watching the Mythic Guide videos on HBO, though I'm not ready to attempt this feat anytime soon.

  • 10.12.2010 9:38 AM PDT

is there a different ending because there isn't a legendary ending.

thanks

Bungie told you to keep your mouth shut about it if there is one, didn't they?

So far only one person has beaten it on Mythic, and he didn't beat the final level as his final mythic run. So basically, we don't know if there's a Mythic ending, though I highly doubt there is, considering only a relative handful of people would access it.

  • 10.12.2010 10:47 AM PDT

Great job! I was only able to do 4 missions on Mythic in H3 and haven't tried any of these yet. But to have them done so quickly is amazing.

  • 10.12.2010 11:19 AM PDT

I would have thought this was impossible.

According to the commentary runthrough that was available on Halo Waypoint, there is neither a Legendary or a Mythic ending. Marcus Lehto and Marty O'Donnell joke about a Mythic ending...but it's a joke. It wasn't made and it's not in the game.

Kudos to the guys who got through on Mythic, though. That's impressive.

I'm excited to find out what Legendary Smile's "prize" will be.

  • 10.12.2010 1:05 PM PDT

So, Tyrant, ShadowStrike, and I beat the Package on co-op Mythic. With three of us, controlling the area of the final battle became really easy. The downside was we only had Carter, but on the plus side, we were able to take control of a key point on the map to make fighting the enemies a hell of a lot easier.

Tyrant and ShadowStrike kept tabs on the Banshees flying around and remained around the main building. From the beginning I planned to use the Wraith but didn't make it to my planned safe spot before it dropped, so once Tyrant took out the driver for me (remember kids, charging a Wraith from the front is not safe when it requires you to run across open ground for several seconds) I took the Wraith and provided support for the rest of the fight, parking and taking cover whenever I knew a Phantom would be dropping down at my location.


The Wraith made fighting the Elites and Hunters a lot easier. The General, on the other hand, got an unwise idea. Armed with his Sword, he decided to charge the only person he could actually reach: the person driving the Wraith.

Twenty-ninth Halo 3 Mythic Conqueror
Eleventh Halo 3: ODST Mythic Conqueror
Fifth Halo: Reach Mythic Conqueror

Wow! Congratulations, Legendary smile! I saw this on the HBO front page! I honestly thought that AuraSoldier was going to win.

We all came to this thread and gave constant updates on how we were doing; we -blam!-ed about the levels and shared ideas. We didn't hear from you that much but your Nightfall trick helped a lot. Maybe the reason you beat it first is because you spent your time actually playing the game rather than -blam!-ing about it like the rest of us.

Well, you did it. And it only took twenty days. I can say that you deserve the mythic prize more than all of us combined.

Make sure you take time out of your busy day to let us know what the prize was! I was thinking that it would be a flaming head or an officer code, but than I thought that Bungie would figure that anyone crazy enough to complete it on this insane difficulty would already own two of each code.

And for the rest of us that didn't make it first, we're kind of like the losing team during the super bowl or the Stanley Cup playoffs; we didn't win, but we're better people for it and we'll shine another time. :)

What now? I guess all of our new goals is to beat Tyrant. Tyrant said he wanted to make the guide fast and we all know how we won't get our names bolded on the conqueror's list if he does that.

Now I can play the game at my own pace...
