I havent seen many people do this on Exodus, but anyone trying to complete it should give a marine the rockets before the landing pad. Not only did I have more marines survive their way up to it, but the rocket marine just took out all the brutes including the fuel rod chieftan in the landing pad building.

Wow, I just found a really easy way to clear the night club in New Alexandria:

After clearing the hospital and getting the secondary objective, fly back to the hospital and push the button that makes "Never Surrender" play in the night club...

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Michael, this is old! You'll still have to deal with a bunch of brutes and a LOT of fuel rod grunts! It's just as hard, if not harder than dealing with four hunters!" But, please bear with me.

Fly into the night club and as expected, the covenant should be rocking out. Stay near the entrance to the club, stick the DJ brute with a Plasma Grenade, then quickly GTFO back to the landing pad.

Fly up and activate Siege of Madrigal...

When you come back, the grunts should be dancing again. I encountered I couple brutes that fought back, but they should easily succumb to your needle rifle. And the best part is that the grunts will keep on dancing! You can clear the room without any resistance this way! I even found the brute in the back with the jetpacks dancing as well!

You might not even have to kill them. After I killed everyone and hit the jammer, the music kept playing. I think the Covenant would've been too caught up in the music to shoot me after I blew up the jammer. I'll kill them in my run just to be safe.

Just conquered Exodus. That leaves me with PoA, Package, and LNoS.

Im surprised I actually beat it given how many things went wrong for me on the final section.

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!

Oh... my... GAWD!

Just found a REALLY easy way to kill the first Fuel Rod Chieftain on Exodus :D

Nah. Whenever I try to do that, he usually gets stuck long before he does any real damage.

Nice job!

Come on guys, how about you congratulate the people who complete missions? In the Halo 3 thread, completing one mission would make so many people saying nice job to you, let's at least not make it 0 people.

Mr. Cellophane, should've been my name, Mr. Cellophane 'cause you can look right through me, walk right by me and never know I'm there!

Fine. Good job CBTrigg; you must have worked really hard to complete that level.

Now, I'm going to talk about myself. I never hated the Blind Skull until New Alexandria; there are so many different possible side objectives that it's really hard to memorize where they all can be. But other than that, I have some good strategies for the hospital which I think is the only difficult part.

EDIT: I also heard the Siege of Madrigal as elevator music when I was going to destroy the drone jammer. Clever.

DOUBLE EDIT: Ok, I have a new untested theory using the Siege of Madrigal easter egg. Instead of restarting New Alexandria so you get the drone tower and thus the rocket launcher and active camo powerups first, you should restart until you get the nightclub first. Then you kill all the grunts, grab all the fuel rod ammo, (there's lots) and just -blam!- everything in the level from then on out.

Sounds good? I'll test it later tonight.

TRIPLE EDIT: Ok, while the above fuel rod strategy is not objectively better, it's a nice alternative if other strategies aren't working. It makes it a bit easier to kill the brutes in the hospital since needle rifle ammo is short.

Thanks Gazas.

Hey Archer. Seems like it would be more time consuming in the end since you can run past all 4 hunters instead of killing all the grunts/brutes. It does sound like it would make killing the Rangers at the hospital easier than using rockets (if you made the rangers group up in the lobby area).

I think it's easier. I'm more worried about ease than speed. Speed is important too, but ease comes first. And you don't have to kill all the brutes and grunts. Just pop the DJ, turn on Siege of Madrigal, kill the two attacking brutes, than melee kill all the fuel rod grunts.

The rangers in the lobby area sounds too complicated and too risky. I just plasma rifle them from afar when they charge you. It makes the assassinating the ultra easier.

I hate, HATE the unmarked objectives. There's at least one more Buck escort mission RC Master didn't encounter. He needs help because his team is being "harassed by a Phantom".

Speaking of ease and speed, I managed to get around to a melee fight with the last brute chief on PoA at around 1 hr 18 mins. Unfortunately I got killed trying to replenish my shields and he got a lucky hit in. I reckon, if everything went as well as it did in that run (bar the dying), I could probably finish PoA in just over an hour and 30 mins.

As for your troubles with the unmarked Buck escort, Buck spawns behind Club Errera and flies down to the right side of the building (if you were facing it head on). From there you just follow him around to a lone building in the corner of the map and help him destroy the phantom.

Long Night of Solace completed, on Pillar of Autumn. Video is on my File Share. Final mission!


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.


I think I'm having deja vu here... I swear I've heard you say the exact same thing at least twice before!

Third try of Pillar of the day, and I got to the Landing Pad and the Secret Ammo Crate got stuck half in the wall... I was killed trying to get it out. The mission is easier than LNoS so far in my opinion.

From what I've been told, everything up until the landing pad is fine. It's everything from that point onward that makes the mission insane.

Yes...in one of the MANY different Buck escort missions and situations.

But I actually completed the level with a few stupid deaths just without Iron on. As long as I don't get a Buck mission, I'm fine.

Well here goes my update.

ONI's giving me trouble. Cant wait to start Quad-Mythic back up.

I just played Pahat Pojat in Team Doubles Arena. Nice to get randomly matched up against a fellow Mythicer.

Anybody have any tips for ONI they picked up along the way? I've watched a couple videos, and people seemed to be doing different things, particularly on which way to bring the wraith to the fights.

Screw the wraith! Real men use rocket marine Warthogs! But seriously:

If you find the wraith works better for you, go ahead. I think I would have a hard time commandeering the wraith with that squad right in front of it. The rocket marine Warthog is more dangerous, but I found it worked for me.

Subject: *Mythic Difficulty* Step by Step for Halo: Reach! (ALL SKULLS ON!!!)

After the Fall of Reach, a few Spartans were found in a broken-down ship near Reach. After the first Halo blew up, Master Chief flew next to this ship. In this ship, was the creator of the Spartan III and a few Spartans. Master Chief saved these Spartans. These Spartans are restarting the Spartan III Project companies, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. The rest went into the frozen chambers to be used for later.

It also requires that you do not die in your run.

You can do it with more than 1 player, but it would be considered CLASO or Coop Legendary All Skulls On. It also requires you to start over if one of you die.
