Hello, Community!

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!

Apparently there aren't any skulls in Halo 4. Or at least, in spartan ops.

There will be skulls in Campaign.

Seconded.

If there aren't, or there isn't a sufficient substitute, Halo 4 loses a lot of campaign appeal to me.


I can understand them not being in Spartan Ops or Multiplayer, but if they went as far as to include them in Anniversary, I highly doubt they'd exclude them from their first actual Halo game :)

I hope they make us find all the skulls, like in Halo 3. It would be so fun searching every nook and cranny over the massive, mysterious and ancient world of Requiem for them.

Not to mention creepy too; seeing the skeletonized remains of other less fortunate humans who were trapped before you.

Aw man, I got the WORST POSSIBLE combination of objectives on New Alexandria the other day:
Vyrant, Sinoviet then hospital (can't do full banshee trick) and
Misriah Armoury (Elites and Engineers!) and Buck as my side missions!!

AAAAHHH!!!

I was only doing 11 skulls, but I did manage it without deaths! Pleased with my performance, annoyed with the random number generator!

Glad to see you on here because I've got a problem. How do I hijack one of the two Wraiths on ONI Sword Base? Legendary with no skulls is suicide without it.

Best way is to airstrike one to death, then flank around the right side of the area to plasma overcharge another. You need to bash off the hatch then jump on top and kill the driver for the wraith not to blow up.

What about the gunner? IIRC, both Wraiths have one.

DMR headshot. If you overcharge the wraith from behind and jump ontop, if you're directly behind the gunner they can't swivel far enough to shoot you. 'Course it's only if you haven't taken the smart way out and killed the gunner as soon as you could've.

Alright, what about the second AA gun on TotS? Is it possible to trigger the Falcon to arrive early when doing it the LASO way (shoot the AA gun with the damaged hog's turret)? When I was messing around with Zealots and after destroying the AA gun, when I went back to the previous area (using a Wraith or a well positioned Revenant), the Falcon arrived even though I hadn't killed the 2 Hunters (and IIRC, 1 enemy Wraith was also intact). Haven't replicated it in any other game save.

I don't think the way you take out the AA gun matters. It's just getting the enemies down to 3 or so, and then waiting. On every difficulty it is quicker to just kill everything.

AFAIK.

EDIT: Some of you will have already seen this, but here is a link to my Legendary + 11 Skull Single-Segment speed run of Halo: Reach. Game time is 3 hours 33 minutes for all the nine levels.

EDIT2: Aww man, I'm working on a sweet new ending for Winter Contingency. If I pull it off it'll be like OMGWTFBBQ!?!

I found the levels hard on legendary as well but I will try few levels on the mythic level

This is by far the best guide available for Halo Reach. I have beaten Reach on Mythic twice now thanks to this guide. Thanks Tyrant!

Assassinations?

Btw I gave Nightfall's dark zone section a go with 10 skulls on and completed it in 6 segments.

I'm pleased that I could get 2 stealth kills but most of the time, I had to cheat by exploiting the AI's blind spots. :/ I played it safe with 2 Elites, sniping them with the sniper rifle, when I could have went in for an assassination.

I could say twice on mythic too but really you haven't completed anything on mythic unless verified by online completed game and backed up with the film.

Have you completed Halo 2? I have never tried for Mythic in recent games, but I did give a shot at Halo 2 missions with as many skulls on as I could.

I have completed it on Legendary, and a few missions on 1/2 Mythic, but full "Mythic" is too time consuming.

Great Guide, I saw all of it.

LASO/Mythic is dead in Reach/Halo 3 since:

1. 343 does not show what skulls are on.
2. You can use liberty for Reach/Halo 3.
3. 343 does not track Halo 3 stats.

Well, let me assure you, I have beaten Halo: Reach on Mythic. I would not want to cheat and say I have beaten Reach on Mythic. That would not be worth it. This is something I've been working on for a while and I want to finish it. You can probably see by my effort that I have beaten Reach on Mythic. I might even try to beat Halo 3 on Mythic before Halo 4 comes out if I can, at least without Iron at first.

Usually when someone comes along and claims they beaten Mythic without any evidence. It usually goes something like this: "Finished it".
But when someone comes along with evidence, it's 99% of the time legit. So I believe you.
Should probably have someone check over the films, but congratulations. I believe you.

  • 09.28.2012 8:47 PM PDT

Thanks man, means a lot. I would have beaten it before Bungie stopped tracking the stats but I didn't know I would run into a situation like this.
