My most honorable achievement was finishing ODST on Legenday - and ODST wasn't as hard as Halo 3.

So with the way things are going in Reach - a pack of Zealots on Heroic are hard enough for me - I might give it a spin, but I doubt i'll get all the way through.

I could probably do it easier were not for the Black Eye skull. That one always got in my way on ODST's firefight.

I really hate LNOS. Forget what I said; the level is extremely hard. I can't count how many times I've played from rally point bravo, but I can run that part fine when I'm at that part. For whatever reason, when I play from mission start I always die at rally point bravo.

This sucks.

As far as I've gotten, Blackeye isn't the problem. The problem for me is Catch.

Question Mark?

I dont think i have the time for a 10 hour level, i thought legendary took long, one level will probably take me as long as the entire legendary campaign.

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!

Gotta work. Gonna try to wrap this up tomorrow. Almost did it. The problem? Bungie's TARD physics engine. Seriously. Things in real life DON'T BOUNCE LIKE TOYS!!! Whoever came up with that concept (and yes I know it predates Halo 2) is an ass...

I miss the Halo CE engine...

If you think Catch is brutal in Reach, you haven't experienced Halo 3 Catch.

That was many gernades. You could get around that... But now they're nades thrown at the speed of light.

Wow only one person has done this so far. Was expecting a few more but it is extremely difficult though. Sigh...

So, I can fairly say that I can consistently make it to the Spire on TotS now... So how should I deal with the Sword Elite up there? I've tried Plasma Pistoling once, and I tried "luring" him off twice. Got Uber-stuck every time. Any tips for me?


I just waited for him to go outside and assassinate him. Usually the grunts will stay in the control room so you dont have to worry about them attacking you when you go to back smack the elite.

Try backing up and just keep peppering him with the Plasma Pistol - use your jetpack if he gets too close. But as others have said he's quite prone to just running off!

I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Haha, I remember when you did this in Halo 3. Good luck beating the rest of the levels, I'm sure you'll need it.

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

LNoS will be a pain. I owned the mission when I was practicing but today I did another practice run and I died like a hundred times in the Corvette. Then I got a checkpoint right after getting hit by a grenade so I was screwed. Just turned it off. :P

At the second AA gun on Tip of the Spear, I figured out what happens to the second Wraith it its no where to be seen, and got in on film.

Go have a look.

Fail? Or by design?

Mash the trigger on the PP. I'm quite good at it now. Try practicing that last area by loading up Rally Point Bravo. Just keep backing up as he comes at you.

I also found a way to make the final area way easier. Right after the cutscene with the Zealots trigger the concussion Elite and then leg it to the back of the room. Mop up the weaker enemies then wait for Jorge to move up and engage the Elite in a melee battle. Once they're battering each other move up and assassinate the Elite.

I've done this once and it only seems to work if there's still a lot of cover left otherwise Jorge will keep getting blown back.

You should really do your research better. Thats a clip from my actual run of the level. Been there for weeks now. Even if you don't manage to kill the Zealot, it means he runs off quick and the other enemies are bunched up for some grenade action.

-A witty signature that can be placed on the bottom of all your forum posts.

I am a little confused. Everyone is talking about checkpoints, but aren't you using the iron skull?

I could deal with black eye and all of the others, but it is the iron skull that completely turns me off from mythic. There are far too many places where the most difficult encounter is right at the end of a level and getting all the way there just to re-do the entire thing because of a single stray grenade or FRG blast just ruins the whole idea for me.

Sorry. I didn't realize. I'll make sure to watch hours of footage before I post anymore observations first. :)

I don't feel like talking about it.

So, my Drop Shield got despawned at the landing pad. Now I'm stuck with Hologram...this is gonna suck.

The Package has been redone in roughly 45 minutes.

Before, it took me about two hours. This cuts the time down considerably and puts you on the offensive for the last battle. Enjoy!
