Well, there's no more Blind, so only thing you'll be without is a motion tracker so you can at least have the HUD.

Buck - Truly If he was any better, he'd be a Spartan.

Just beat solo campaign on legendary 2 days ago and I don't want to imagine all skulls on it will be a night mare especially Pillar of Autumn.

Yeah, that ending defence and cannon part were pure hell for me. I don't even want to imagine it on mythic.

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

That part has me worried along with the hospital segment of New Alexandria.

I'm working on a strategy for that bit. Test results seem optimistic :)

That said, I haven't tried navigating the city with blind on yet, that could kill you, with running into random shades or banshees, just as easily!

No doubt the player will have to know the city very well in order to pull it off successfully, but looking at it optimistically, the same could be said for Cortana with Halo 3, and now most of us can do it with our eyes closed :-)

People who play all skulls on are stupid and wasting hours of their lives. There is no official Mythic difficulty so stop calling it that.

It's a fun name to call something that has an extra difficulty compared to legendary. Shut up and leave if you don't like it.

Mmmm Brains!

Probably not possible. I can remember some parts that would be pretty much impossible with shield charging up. For example, the mission in space where your aircraft loses its shield within 2 seconds

But thanks for trying.

In terms of "wasting time", just because it's fun for us and not for you doesn't make it a waste of time. Bare in mind that you are spending you're free time trolling a video game forum specifically with a subject matter that you care nothing about.

Thankfully we've already experimented with the space mission and it appears that the Blackeye skull has no effect on the Sabre's shields/health :-)

Lol at texastoast.

Anyway, just completed new alexandria with 11 skulls on (again, no iron or blind) and got no deaths! Took a LONG while though. So many banshees, and you really have to deal with them to be able to take out the ground forces at a couple of stops. Unless... they don't really seem to shoot at you when you're already landed, do they? So, a quick rush in might work!

Next time I play, I'll see what its like with blind on! I predict lots of aimless wandering!

Nice work! I'd love to see the video. So what did you end up doing for the hospital? I imagine dealing with squads of Brutes followed by a mass of Ranger Elites was far from easy.

Until Bungie, keyword BUNGIE integrates a Mythic difficulty option, announces that it is officially called Mythic difficulty and adds achievements for such then as far as Iam concerned it does not exist.

Go waste 10 days of your life for nothing you insolent little child.

I'm gonna keep that to myself for the moment, at least until I complete a proper run of this level. I still have vague aspirations of trying to become the first Reach Mythic Conqueror; so I need any advantage I can get!

In the mean time though, if someone figures out my method independently, I'll confirm it right there.

But I will share some tips :)

-Engineers take 2 Needle Rifle Super-combines to kill in the body. Or a shot froma DMR will knock off their 'hat', then a single shot to their 'head' (little blue wormy bit) will kill them. Or... a single rocket will do it. :)

-Also, when you zoom in with a scoped weapon, the centre of your reticle actually moves UP the screen a few pixels. Be aware of that if your scoped shots aren't hitting where you expect.

-Finally, I've noticed that my rocket rounds seem to drop over extended distance (about a metre down over 100m distance). Anyone else noticed that? This'll certainly make long-range rocket-sniping more difficult...

It won't be easy. A number of things we could take advantage of in the two previous installments are no longer available. We can no longer n00b-combo our way through anything... But we'll find a way. A number of Mythic-ers have already downed Winter Contingency. I myself actually made it to the end yesterday before suddenly getting blindsided by a Zealot with a concussion rifle. But rest assured it will be done tonight. Already know what I'll say for the walkthrough too :-))


Yeah. It was that elite. Any plans?

I think it's pretty easy to kill the sword elite. Just plasma pistol him while he's trying to cut up Jorge. But first, you have to lure him to Jorge while dodging his painfully accurate plasma grenades. Drop shield or Sprint?

And the evacuation level. Should be easy once you get the jetpack. Except when you have to kill the anti-air turrets. Then, active camo makes short work of the wraith and of the disabled anti-air turrets at the end.

Engineers don't have shields? I don't have to plasma pistol them anymore?

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

Well, my ODST Mythic quest will have to go on hold (I'm halfway through it) until I get Reach down and out. Tried Winter Contingency twice now, both times I made it to the dropship just before the falcon. First time I ran out of headshot-registering ammo and tried to sneak around and take things out via assassinations. punched out two grunts and an elite before the other elite stuck me. Second time I got needle rifled by a skirmisher that I was almost sure I'd domed already...

Oh well, will try it again tonight and hope for better results! Still getting used to the grenade arc and the invisi-reticule location...

I noticed that as well when I played through it initially (on Legendary, of course). It will definitely make things more difficult...

Side note, since there's really no other thread to put this in, has anyone ever tried to obtain all the skulls in Halo 2 and play Mythic there (leaving your xbox running for days on end)? THAT would be a challenge!

Indeed. I'm almost done with Legendary solo and I cannot even conceive how it'd be possible to do this one on Mythic. Especially in the New Alexandria missions. For the sake of your sanity Tyrant, do not attempt this. There are no Cortana or Floodgate speedruns here. You will simply die, repeatedly, over and over again (and see the beginning of each level, over and over again).

*feeds the troll*

I really lose faith in humanity when I see things like this. First he comes in here, rabidly attacking the Mythic community as a whole, then is ignorant (and ironic) enough to call us insolent children when we point out to him that nobody is forcing him to do it and it's just another way to enjoy the game? I fail to see how it's a waste of time if we're enjoying the time spent...

That said, it is humorous to see he believes this can be done in 10 days. I challenge him to complete Reach on Mythic in 10 days. If he can do so, and if he can provide proof (saved films + online game stats for each level), and show us that Mythic really is as trivial as he seems to think it is, I will pay for his Xbox LIVE for the next 10 years. I'll even give him a grace period to see this challenge before he starts, so the clock will start tonight at midnight, Bungie time.
