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.


Does this mean the wraith gets the Vincent K's Official Seal of Approval? Is the benefit of comandeering the wraith greater than the risk?

Only if you're doing multi-Mythic. I have no idea how staying in that area will affect enemy troop movement when you're playing solo.

Just got killed on PoA at the landing pad by......Jackals. I breezed through the first wave and was clearing things up, decided to nab a health pack and bring the DMR crate since all but a few Jackals and Brutes were left. I go up top because I figure while I'm there I should give one of the troopers a Sniper Rifle and I mistakenly believed one was alive. So seeing none, I get ready to go back to finishing off the rest when I see three Jackals, all with overcharged Plasma Pistols headed for me. One of them fired and there go my freshly recovered shields. One comes up the steps and I beat him to death. The second and third come up at the same time, hit me with another overcharge and shoot me to death before I can make a move toward or away from them.

Such a stupid way to die.

IMO mythic is a noob way to do the campaign. What, so im supposed to be impressed that you spent hours evading and hiding from enemies in campaign while letting the CPU do all the work. Good job I guess, but couldn't most with a cosiderable ammount of time on their hands do this. I guess this takes patience, but why would anyone want to torture themselves?

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.

Wrong. Unfortunately, the friendly AI isn't nearly good enough to do much of the work for you. Have you even watched any of our runthroughs? (except Nightfall, that mission doesn't have but a couple of non-skippable enemies) Try beating the opening fight in ONI: Sword Base, or the landing pad and onward sections of Pillar of Autumn on Mythic. The former shows you how inept the AI really is except as bait and meat shields, and the latter you have practically no AI support (the marines will die VERY quickly, and Emile abandons you to man the Mass Driver). Both of these encounters require you to kill everything. And let's not even talk about storming the Corvette in Long Night of Solace.

You seem to be under the strange impression that, across Halo 3, ODST, and Reach there isn't a single mission in which you don't have an invincible AI assisting you or that the Marines/Troopers are competent enough to handle a Brute or Elite, let alone two of them. Perhaps most intriguing of all is that you make it sound like we cannot manage to fight out an entire encounter.

To this I say: you're funny.

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.

I can mirror the ones you can't fit on my fileshare if you like. At least for a couple of months or something.

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.


It's okay, you tried man. You tried. As soon as you get 2nd place then we can start co-op, and you can actually play some multiplayer again :P

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!

Wow. I have NO IDEA why so many of you opted to take the left side of the Falcon rather than the right. The right is 100x easier!

Watch for a rather humorous Marines death at the beginning.

Oh, and yes the Sword guy committed suicide WHILE trying to toss one final grenade my way...

ROFL!

Well, I was doing pretty well on ONI:Sword base earlier. I'd beaten the courtyard, and the AA gun, I was trying to collect a med kit so I could heal, and I didn't want to bother finding a plasma pistol, so I naded myself, and died. Furthest I've gotten on that damn mission, I had the hardest parts completed, and I still had a target locater round I hadn't needed to use, and I -blam!- killed myself.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

Oh by the way Aura for not coming first T3h blue bomber and myself are going to give you hell, a fun fact is that we were telling Aura to start PoA a day or 2 before he did.

And in response to your other post, yes it was a blast. I'd love to have a fourth team member and get this rumble officially under way. Team Mythic FTW!!!

Just remember, you aren't officially a conqueror until you've committed suicide at LEAST once ;-)

Well, don't count me out for playing multi Mythic, that Banshee trick was great apart from it making the Tyrant guns invincible.
Unfortunately I'll only really have the time to do it on weekends.

Congrats, Legendary Smile! I'm very impressed. I also could have sworn that Aura was gonna be #1 but it looks like PoA really was a beast and your 2 hour effort paid off.

To those attempting Co-op Mythic, I'd be interested during Thanksgiving Break (10 days w/o classes!) in running through all of the missions. Hopefully I will have completed them all once by then and we can fly through them with new tricks/tips that come up.

It was close I'll admit that, if I hadn't died at the mass driver though, I'd be #1. That death there really screwed me over for a while too. Funny yet annoying story about yesterday though, when smile was on his now completed LNoS run I had gotten up to the zealots but I got killed when doing the hologram trick to kill the elites; the duel-wielder came into the room and instead of attacking the hologram he went straight for me. Then within an hour or so from then, smile beat LNoS so it was that close at the end there.

damn it im at the top of the spire on Tip of the Spear and I jet pack off to avoid the sword elite but he throws a plasma and sticks me :(, might try again tomorrow.

Also having trouble with the court yard on Sword Base any tips?

  • 10.13.2010 1:38 AM PDT

Headshot a whole bunch of jackals and grunts and when the elites pull back behind the energy shields, run forward along the left hand path towards the sniper spawn, this will trigger Kat to move in close and she is pretty good at distracting and in some cases killing the elites for you once she gets into melee fights. That's how I do it anyways.

  • 10.13.2010 2:27 AM PDT

It's actually quite fun, as long as you don't get frustrated too easily.

I'm getting closer with Sword base, but quite often I have to use two locater shots to get a single freaking wraith. Hating that. Once I get this done, I'm torn between New Alexandria and Tip of the Spear. TotS is easier, from what I hear, but I love falcons.
