The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

Well, I played some Legendary with all Skulls on (not Iron and Blind) and...it was hard.

When I kill one single Elite, it's a huge accomplishment...

Mythic is going to be tough this time around, no doubt. The space mission is what really intrigues me, though I'm guessing everything still auto-recharges when you're in the Sabre.

Fifth Halo: Reach Mythic Conqueror

-blam!-...

On my first play through of Halo: Reach (great game by the way), all I can remember thinking between gasps of amazement at the scenery, was, "this is going to be über hard on mythic." Reach has a nice difficulty curve. It starts quite easy at the beginning and then becomes murderously difficult at the end.


Posted by: Tyrant122312
Well this is gonna be a pain. I just discovered that Thunderstorm upgrades all Grunts to Ultras, meaning it will take at least two headshots to kill one. Combine this with famine and you've got trouble.


This sucks. Well, we were also pained to learn of our stupid pet jackals being more frugal with their ammunition in ODST. Then again, ODST was a bit easier...

Sorry for the harsh reality, but you have absolutely no reason to think this if you haven't played it with Black Eye on. But, I share your optimism. But even if it doesn't, no challenge is too great for the mythic community!

...right?

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

Just reposting something I posted in the Mythic group.

2: Winter Contingency
The first level we start with in Mythic is possibly the easiest as WC has numerous skipable encounters and is essentially just a level meant for the player to get acquainted with the game.

Starting out:
Once you've gotten out of the falcon, you can just keep going up until the point where you enter the 2nd structure after the motion tracker goes off.

1st encounter:
The first encounter of the level does not even need to be fought as once you take out the first skirmisher on the roof, head halfway down the stairs whilst remaining out of sight of the skirmishers and just let your spartans take care of them and the grunts.

2nd, 3rd and 4th encounters:
Once the spirit drops off the squad of grunts, simply stick to the righthand side of the map and keep following it up to the next squad of dropped off grunts.

You'll have to pick off these guys though as they're usually going to notice you and can make getting past them rough.

Afterwards, head over the road barrier far enough out of sight of the elites, and once you have an opening, head down to the truck.

Truck segment:
Just keep driving until you get to the marines, just make sure to drive behind the covenant and let Jorge and Carter take them out whilst picking off any stragglers yourself.

5th encounter:
Make sure you trade a weapon with the DMR marine and then collect the DMR on the floor of the building. Now make your way to the top floor and head around so that you have a clear shot of the enemies as they drop from the spirit.

Once all the grunts are taken of, it's up to you to sneak back around and assassinate both elites as your spartan friends are usually hopeless at the task.

6th encounter:
Once out of the falcon, head up to the walkway above, collecting DMR ammo and the armour lock AA. From there take out any covenant and head into the building.

Now all you do is simply wait until Kat fixes the door, you go in and trigger the cutscene.

7th encounter:
Collect a DMR, and move up a little to trigger the enemies and hide in the back left of the room behind the crate. Let Jorge take care of the enemies and wait until the zealot runs away.

Now kill the remaining grunts and jackals and make your way to the next area

8th encounter:
Easily the hardest due to the 2 zealots. Starting off, headshot the 4 grunts and make sure you have a full DMR and plasma pistol.

*Note: there is a drop shield below you as you approach the railing. Going for it though can cause the elites to go after you though*

Here's where it gets hard. You can either:
A. Hope you get really lucky PPing the zealots in the room
or
B. Get the zealot to follow you (make sure there is a decent amount of distance between yourself and it) and hide back behind Jorge.

If going with A, it's simply a matter of luck as to whether you'll actually hit them. Whereas going with B, if done right, the zealot will just keep meleeing Jorge and you can attempt to assassinate him.

As for the last guy, make sure you keep your distance as his concussion rifle can make short work of you.

Member of team Master Theory.

17th Mythic Conqueror of Halo 3.
5th Mythic Conqueror of ODST.
If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

I'm not going to be in any rush to do this. Reach just has so much variety that I don't want to limit myself to just one thing for weeks on end.
Best of luck to everyone who tries and contributes, I'll b following your progress closely.

Fun fact: if you stick an elite after you've deshielded it on Mythic: IT WILL NOT DIE.

Aim for the head!

Also, it takes 5 strikes with the sword to kill one of those zealots.

The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

Yeah, grenades have been out of the question for me when fighting Elites. Worst case scenario they will manage to run over to you and take you down with him, and he'll survive on top of that.

Elites on the other hand have no problem with throwing grenades. They travel very fast compared to lower difficulties and they manage to hit my toes in these weird ways. >:(

I have found one thing to help ease the path for my mythic brethren. (If you already knew this, good for you. I'm helping people who don't.)

The drop shield recharges your health. Yeah, I know it's awesome. Note I said health, not shields. I don't know how it affects shields under the influence of Black Eye, but at least it recharges your health.

We also now know that even on Mythic, both your health and shields still auto-recharge in the Sabre. Thanks Vince :-)

The Diving Pirates will surface!

Where are you gonna upload the videos? I wanna watch. If youtube, tell me your username plz. ^_^ I get the feeling that something amazing will be unlocked for Mythic.

Feet first into heck!!!

So..., is this the Official Reach Mythic thread Tyrant??? If so, I'd first like to say damn it's good to be back :) But secondarily, I have a question for the Mythic community... you find your self in a dark room with Jorge, a DMR, Magnum, AR, and Shotty on the first level of the game, an elite Zealot with an energy sword charges you... what do?

It is indeed, and welcome back! :-) The answer to your question is that it's still being worked on, but at the moment, I'd say evade and use Jorge as your meat shield would presently be your best bet since Elites with swords don't have an "easy open" attack like H3/ODST Hammer Chieftains.

That's a good question, but I believe it does. Let me look into it further.

Don't think so.

In solo online Campaign, you get the game complete bonus, and any cR from progress towards commendations.
