Our main issue is finding someone close to our time zone. Vince, Shadow, and myself all live on the Eastern half of the United States where as many of you live across the ocean. And in terms of weekends, I work all day on Sundays (10-12 hour shifts) which pretty much means that Saturday afternoon and evening pretty much marks the only time when I can do things with family or local peeps who are on a normal schedule (i.e. mostly working during the day Monday-Friday).


I'm eastern and I'm free on the weekends. I'll play with you guys if you can't find anyone else. I've never played co-op mythic, but it can't be so bad. The Iron Skull isn't as mean on co-op, right?

Do you guys remain civil while playing? When I'm playing Mythic by myself and I die a most egregious death, I don't get mad because it's my fault. If I were playing with someone else, I imagine I would get really mad. It's a good thing you're seperated by Xbox Live, otherwise you might bash each other's heads in lol.

I'm also afraid you're going to beat me in the mythic race, Tyrant. As I stated before, I want to finish it before you make you're guide. I still have LNOS, Exodus, New Alexandria, The Package and the POA to do. I'm stuck on LNOS, but I've almost finished it.

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,

Generally speaking, the Iron Skull only reverts you to the last checkpoint on co-op, but the way we play, we manually restart the mission if someone dies. If we didn't, it just wouldn't be Mythic. Did it with both Halo 3 and ODST, so I don't see why we couldn't here. And despite Bungie stating that more players equals more difficulty, we found it to be just the opposite when we three-manned "The Package" yesterday.

Well then we just proved them wrong, now didn't we?

Unless Legendary smile explicitly thanks the community for his victory over the Covenant with a "I couldn't have done it without you" speech, I think it would be more polite say, "Well then Legendary smile just proved them wrong, didn't he?"

Just sayin'...

I don't mean to come off as rude, but I'd be pretty angry if a collective was credited for my accomplishment.

Except that Mythic was in truth collectively conquered by five people BEFORE an individual did it.

Well I got some very usefull tips from the mythic community, so indeed I couldn't have done it so fast without you guys. I'm not good at giving speeches so I keep it short: Thanks Mythic community for all the tips and tricks. Without them I wouldn't have completed it by now :)

Just getting into this whole Mythic thing in Reach... Already beat Nightfall (huge accomplishment, I know). But has anyone else had problems with BoB's on WC? If I don't make it to the Sword Zealot room, it's because I died of a lone BoB with a Concussion Rifle wandering the road. And I don't seem to be making it alot :P

He appeared on a few of my runs as well. Best to avoid him. Trying to run him down will usually result in your vehicle getting hammered by concussion rounds. It's easier to avoid him than you think. Just pick a side and speed by. Eventually he'll disappear on his own.

Welcome to the community and congratz on your first mission :-)

I'm not exactly new... I beat Floodgate, Cortana and Halo on Mythic back in Halo 3, but never seemed to pick it back up to finish Halo 3 or even tried ODST... I just saw this thread today, and now I really want to make up for lost time ;)

And usually by the time I realize BoB is there, I'm already being flipped off a cliff, but I'll keep that in mind.

I see BOB paid you a visit on Winter Contingency, too.

Currently just got stuck (literally) behind a chain-link fence and crates in the Hunter area on PoA. There was a small gap that they could see me through, so I decided to let them end me. It's a good thing, too. I forgot to grab the Drop Shield, so...I wouldn't have been in good shape for the landing pad.

I tried The Package earlier today; nearly made it. Took just too much Plasma Rifle fire while sitting above the entrance to Halsey's Lab. Ah well, it wasn't that hard.

One thing I did do that I hadn't seen elsewhere was bring one of the Focus Rifles from the Jackal spiral staircase into the main hall. It made killing the General super easy. I tried bringing it down into the Glacier but lost it when I picked up another weapon. :(

Would have made short work of those Ultras I think. Ah well, next time.


Oh yeah; for anyone trying multi-Mythic on Winter Contingency: There are 2 Concussion Zealots in the last room as opposed to one in 2p co-op. Gave me and my GF a fright when we thought the area was clear!

I think it's safe to say that there is no such thing as a Mythic ending. I did Pillar of Autumn today (rally point bravo) on mythic to see if there was anything after the credits, but there was nothing different than the usual ending :(


If there's one thing I've learned about Bungie and unlockables it's that 9/10 times they only work when you go from the START of a mission, not rally points!


This is actually true in many cases. Could you get the Legendary ending in Halo 3 from a rally point?

I thought you could... But wasn't there like a skull or something in Halo 3 which required you to start from the beginning for it to spawn?


Yup. I'm pretty sure that to find the skulls in Halo 3, you needed to start the missions from the beginning and not a rally point.


I thought you could only get the legendary ending after playing the whole campaign? I often tried getting a legendary engding by just doing the last level. Never worked. It did work when I started with The Arrival. Same for ODST, only works when I go to 'Start new campaign'.
But it's impossible to play the whole Reach campaign in one piece, you always return to the menu when you've completed a level. Plus, besides an easter egg thing like in ODST, there won't be much to reveal IF there is a Legendary ending in the first place. So I agree with Legendary Smile. There is no reason to make an additional ending, because from the beginning we already knew what it was.

All I have to say is good luck on Long Night of Solice.
I had it completed with 10 skulls on, but 2 Ultras were impossible after the Corvettes bridge part. It took me absolutely ages. All I can say is the Drop shield is your best friend.
Good luck!

That being true, I would like to know Jun's whereabouts or something extra about Reach. In all honesty I think it's on the disc already but the title update might open it.
Remembering (as an example) that all armour is already on the disc but title updates are like Xbox live codes where it just unlocks it. This might be true for the Legendary. It just wouldn't be a Bungie's game if it didn't have one.

Died to the dual-wielding Ultra in the room just after the Hunters. I made the wrong choice on which side of the crate he was using as cover to go around. He backed up, firing a few times, and the moment my shields popped he went forward and meleed me.

Skipping the Hunters is worth it, it would seem (and easier than I thought). The last time I was at the landing pad I ended up using my Needle Rifle against the Chieftains instead of the DMR. Simple logic, really. It's more than 3 headshots to remove a Chieftains helmet, so I decided to save some ammo. Two superexplosions = dead Chieftain, so I want to conserve as much ammo as I can.

Focus rifle is a good anti-ultra weapon? That will make my LNOS run SO much easier.

Also, video game playing girlfriend=epicness.

Well it worked pretty good against the FRG General, I didn't actually try it against any ultras, but I'm guessing the General's shields are at least as good as the Ultra, if not better.. Allows you much, much, greater engagement distance than the PP for example.

Also, video game playing girlfriend=epicness.
Indeed. She completely Legendary Solo a couple of days ago :)

You got a very good point there. I honestly didn't know about the stuff being on the disc and all. I also was quite disappointed when I didn't get a Legendary ending. Let's just hope Bungie lives up to it's habits and will make lots of people happy.
