His primary goal was 1st spot though...with Dark's passion we might see him as a 2nd...exciting.

Wow, nice job. I know how hard of a mission that was.

Aura, how many more do you have to do? One of you guys are going to take second place.

I'm hoping to take fourth place...

I'm doing them in order and I'm still at LNoS and I'm proud of it...I feel less nerdier. School is killing me.

When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

Congrats, Dark. I'm stuck on LNoS (doing them in order) and already watched your video. Seems I'm not the only one who doesn't use missiles on seraphs :P

Doesn't it take longer without them? I switch to normal firing as soon as they do -blam!- ass barrel rolls.

When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

considering how many missiles usually miss, most of the time it takes at least three salvos of missiles, and that's after acquiring a lock. If you're staying right on the seraph's tail, just keeping the guns on typically makes short work of them. In any case, it's more satisfying to me seeing them get pounded with rounds until they explode.

Thank you.
During my many, many, many attempts in the Sabre Fight. I did some timings;

-Time flying around before first wave of 15 Banshee's comes in; 1 minute 10 seconds
- Average time to kill a Seraph without missiles: 14 seconds
- Average time to kill a Seraph with missiles: 16 seconds
- Around 12-15 minutes to complete the Anchor 9 and Corvette parts, not counting cutscenes.
- Arrive on Corvette within 20-25 minutes game time.

It bored me that much, lol.

Oh and Long Night of Solace, just thought I'd link it.

Haha, Sabre is first for me with 13,368 kills. Followed by the DMR with 6,280. I'm so glad that's over.

I watched Legendary's PoA run.. can't wait.

Hey Archer, I just got done watching your Exodus run. Why did you go for that sniper before the landing pad and attack the brute? It didnt look like it affected anything for the next area.

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,
The Tyrant

Been having quite a bit of rotten plays on Exodus tonight. I keep dying from stupid things. I was even killed by a Grunt methane pack at one point...

Needless to say, I need to hang it up for the night since I've got work in an hour, but I'll try again tomorrow. Being sick hasn't helped much either.

To the person who compared its difficulty with Winter Contingency, I strongly disagree. No it's not so much that it's difficult, but rather you are in far more combat scenarios, and there are a number of random factors that can go wrong. The jet pack is a prime example. Why is it that sometimes I can boost up to the balcony of the building housing the first Fuel Rod Chieftain and other times I can't? I don't hit anything on the way up and even jump to gain maximum altitude.

With Winter Contingency, you can pretty much just skip every fight up until you need to hop in the Falcon, and even then you can just drive over everything. The only real danger factor I've run into in that mission is the Concussion Zealot at the end.

Just wanted to say GG to the people who are pulling off mythic victories.

Well played good sirs/ladies!

My shields were down and I didn't have a plasma pistol on me. I wanted him to hurt me a bit so I could grab that health pack. Even if your shields are full, it's still probably a good idea to kill him; he might Concussion Rifle you while you're running along the catwalk. I think I would've died while I was running if I hadn't recharged my shields.

Huh, I didn't see it that way. I guess I meant to say that it gave me as much trouble as Winter Contingency. I guess I got lucky on the randomness factor in Exodus.

Hmm. Never had any issue with him when Ive just skipped to the landing area. BTW, have you tried what Smile did for the final area? I tried both your's and his but to me it feels like Smile's is a lot safer since I can avoid Wraith mortars with the jet pack and all the enemies you dont kill migrate to the main building fast.

No, I haven't watched Smile's video for any of the parts on Exodus. Seriously, I found the jetpack skips myself.

It is probably much safer; my run has a bit of novelty in it. You know, "OMG SLASO LAST AREA AVOID 99% ENIMES LOL WTF"

Gratz Dark! Now Aura has got some work to do

Loading up PoA now as we speak.

I think I've got the advantage here though. I've gotten PoA down to routine now so it's only a matter of time before I'm firing that mass driver and watching that covenant ship hit the ground.

  • 10.22.2010 11:51 PM PDT

I thought the forklift trick on Nightfall could only be done solo, but in a game of co-op matchmaking I found out that it could be done co-op too. It has to do something with the host. I think the host has to go through the door first and spawn the others on the other side.

I've uploaded the remainder of my Mythic films to my file share which can be found here.

It's about time I got around to it so now if people are interested they can take a look.

Edit: Well I got to the mass driver, fired off a shot then got hit by a banshee bomb immediately after :/ *Sigh* FML

Eh, I can get there no problem now anyway; no issues with the refinery like I used to have, no more problems at the landing pad, etc, etc. I'll give the level another go then I'll go to bed for the night.

I'd say it's gonna be harder for me, but LNoS will still be the most pain in the ass. You can't skip cutscenes, you're stuck in space, all that stuff.

5/9!

Oni: Sword Base

New Alexandria

Pretty unsatisfied with my New Alexandria run - probably could have got it done in under 30 minutes but I messed up that simple jump to the plants while escaping from the hospital... twice. Also wasted time at the end finding the landing pad. Meh.

Exodus next.
