Do I have to go into the club once I activate the first switch, or can I go straight to the second switch?

  • 11.02.2010 1:40 PM PDT

Activate the 2 switches b4 entering the club or else it won't work this way i think

Btw are you going to use the pelican easter egg?

Ok, I'm inside the club, and I've got a full DMR and a Needle Rifle. I brought my rocket launcher, but I cant seem to find the ammo, but I dont know if I'll need it now, so I may just drop it to carry both NR and DMR. I did find that underneath the DJ, there are 2 jetpacks, so it appears as though I will be able to use the Pelican after all :D

Hopefully, if all goes according to plan, I will have this room cleared, and then I'll go grab the pelican, and then it's squashing time.

EDIT:

Yeah I'm planning on it now that I've found the jetpacks here. Will this make me the first guy to beat this level in a pelican? lol fully easter-egged out level ftw.

theres an actual mythic difficulty?

Posted by: Tyrant122312
Mythic Difficulty = Legendary + ALL SKULLS ON + zero deaths

UPDATE 10/17/2010

I've finally established a Youtube channel under my Twitter name "MythicTyrant". Yes, it's currently blank, but the plan is to eventually upload all the videos from my Halo 3 Mythic 2.0 runs, Mythic ODST, and Mythic Reach.

To help out HBO a bit, I'm going to leave narration out of the official guide which will be posted on HBO, but will include narration on the YouTube videos.

UPDATE 10/8/2010: As of today, the Mythic community has collectively conquered the entire campaign on Mythic Difficulty! Proof that the feat can indeed be accomplished! Or as Sgt. Johnson would say, "It's tough, but it ain't invincible!" Well done, community. Well done.

Reach is here, folks, so if you're like me and Legendary might not have seemed quite hard enough, you may be looking for a more challenging experience. So, after you've maxed out your campaign fun, are you ready to up your game to the next level?

With both the Halo 3 Mythic Guide and the Halo 3: ODST Mythic Guide now complete, it's now time to begin work on Reach. I will be posting my progress daily as to what the status is on my Mythic progress through the game right up until it's complete. Our current goal is to have the walkthrough released by the end of the year.

But having playing Firefight first hand at PAX in Seattle this past year, I can tell you that Mythic in Reach will be unlike anything you've ever experienced before. Not only has Bungie thrown Elites into the mix, but the AI is now smarter than ever and won't take being conquered laying down anymore.

As before, this will serve as a progress/help threat up until the walkthrough makes it to the masses, at which point this will thread will be here strictly for aiding others in their own quest for Mythic. Godspeed to all of you who embark on his/her own journey!

If sifting through pages and pages of forum conversation to simply find a few pointers isn't your thing, then please feel free to check out Tyrant's Tweets strictly dedicated to the Mythic experience. Count on a new Mythic/campaign tip being posted daily.

So, without further ado, I now officially begin the quest for Mythic Reach. Game on, fellow fans!

Community-coined difficulty. Refers to Legendary + All Skulls On + no deaths + scoring on.

Mythic community- I'm in the Pelican :)

Anyone know of any areas where there are marines I can pick up?

Only the ones who where on your falcon which probably crashed down. Now you only have to splatter the 6 turrets, right?

You wouldn't believe what just happened.

Those shade turrets are EXTREMELY hard to splatter, so instead you have to PUSH them off the platforms, however, sometimes they dont fall all the way down, and get caught on the buildng. My 5th turret is caught in a little crevice which I doubt I will be able to get to with the pelican. I guess I'm going to have to hop out, destroy it by hand, and then try and call in for evac if I am able to.

EDIT:

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!

I was SHOT OUT OF THE PELICAN at my LAST SHADE TURRET. God damn it. I am so damn pissed right now. I thought we were invincible in the Pelican?!?

Tip of the Spear is harder on Co-op than Solo, its probably one of the hardest levels.
At the Falcon ride into the Spire, both players are forced into both sides. And if a Concussion Rifle Elite spawns, it's mission over. Gazas and I tested it about 15/20 times, and we only made it through twice.
Then at the top of the spire, to make it even more fun. Instead of just a Sword Elite, Bungie decided to throw TWO Concussion Rifle Elites up there too. Joy.

Yeah, I'm not too too pissed. I'm pissed that it was the LAST shade turret, and it just so happened to get caught in between the building, but whatever. Guess I'll just have to be careful, and bring a gunner next time. It's actually not that hard of a level at all. That was my first time getting past the banshees outside of the Reflection building, and I made it all the way to the end. I'm gonna give it another go. I definitely learned a lot. Thanks for all the help.

I was under the impression that you were invulnerable inside the pelican. If that's the case, don't bother; go with the falcon. It has a gun you can use. Maybe you should have practiced first?

Legendary smile, in your video, did you use the Club Errera Siege of Madrigal in your run? If so, why didn't you talk about when I said something?

LNoS beat me with a nasty trick; I made it to the Comms room perfectly fine, but then the two Rangers manning the consoles suddenly weren't there, instead they were int he outer ring so I had four Elites to contend with, got confused and couldn't hear the guy behind me. :-(
Still, it was an acceptable first run.

It appears as though your Pelican is very durable to everything EXCEPT the Shade Turrets. I just had another run, and once again, died at the last Shade Turret.

However, I tried something different. Before bringing my Falcon over to grab the Pelican, I kicked my two gunners out, and pushed them far enough away so I could drive off without them. I then came back and picked them up. The pelican gunner seems to be doing a pretty good job.

Having saved and quit, I think I have finalized what is the best course of action. Allow me to show you my transgression-

First, I tried to just drive the Pelican, and tried to push the shade turrets off. Most of the time, this works, however on some, the Shade gets stuck in a small crevice on the tower, and the pelican cannot reach them. Fail.

Next, I tried to pick up a gunner, and I would park directly above/behind a shade turret, and wait for it to be destroyed by my gunner. The gunner appeared to get too preoccupied with the banshees that it took too long for him to zero in on the Shade.

Finally, I came up with a solution. Using a combination of the two, I would line up my Pelican to push the shade turrets off their buildings and into oblivion, but should I accidentally knock one into a small crevice, I could usually get my gunner to destroy it.

I've tested it a few times, and this strategy seems to work best.

This happens when a marine gets knocked down to the comms room. Make sure you make it down there before them! It's not that bad if you can't; they only have Plasma Repeaters. That's still bad, just not as bad as if they had rifles.

Agreed. It sounds like you're making everything more complicated when its relatively easy to kill the shades with the falcon.

I just like being safe from the Banshees. They always tend to sneak up on me, and I dislike that. Plus, the Pelican is cool.

I just played my seven hundredth seventy-seventh game today; it was mass driving practice.

Shooting two phantoms then jumping out and hiding until you need to shoot the carrier seems to work well. It worked successfully three times in a row.

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,

I know, it's just that I panicked, dropped down tog et a PP (brought the Sword with me) and realised I'd just put myself in the middle of the firing lines of four Elites. I tred to run and get somewhere slightly more safe but it just didn't happen.
Still, I'm determined that the Comms room is the only sticking point for me on this mission. Space was actually kinda fun.

Not to mention there's a Fuel Rod Bob right in our way to the spire if we're unlucky.
