Go behind the fence? The ones in the back will always move, just follow them and pepper em.

Ive tried going back there with all 4 alive and it doesnt help. They continue to move too much and only stand still when close to being killed.

I don't. Dual wielding elites won't throw grenades, so I stand right out in the open shooting at them while I strafe. That was my plan in my video to take out the dual wielding ultra in the first smelting room (I could easily kill him before the phantom came) until he fell down the pit and I had to improvise.

Elites for me, during my runs: I found that them "not staying still" was not really a problem; my problem was them being too far away.

Plus, they stand still everytime they strafe. As long as you stick in a hard to hit place, you'll eventually get them.

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!

Due to popular demand, I've rendered my video on how to clear the AA battery section in Exodus in three minutes without vehicles. Are some strategies not working out for you, or are they simply taking too long? Take some time to watch this video from the fastest Mythic Exodus run in the world!*

Just listen to this testimony!
Posted by: Tyrant122312
Michael, I watched your video for the last area, and I must admit I'm impressed...I'd love to use it as a secondary method similar to the Kamikaze methods in previous guides.

#1 Legendary ODST Firefight Highscore

[UNINTELLIGIBLE > INSUBORDINATION(?)]

Finished a LNoS practice run, 5 deaths. The elites in the gunner room were aware and I died a few times there but I found a crack in the upper ledge which I could fire through. The bridge assassination thing took a few tries, but think I have it down. Pelican gun part... Enough said, no deAths there

Keep in mind with the Bridge, the Covenant can be stationed in different places every time. If you see two Grunts standing in front of the holographic globe, you won't be able to land the assassinations.

Hay Tyrant I read in your mythic guide that to be part of the mythic group you need to do a mission in halo 3, odst or reach. I've done 3 in reach so does this mean I am part of the mythic group.

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

You can still kill one Elite and Grunt, maybe two if you're quick so I wouldn't advise going loud straight away when you can thin their numbers a little and get your shields back if necessary.

Good, now get back to England so we can do Mythic.

Not sure how much free time I'll have over the weekend for conference calling, Tyrant. Doing an all-night film session, well tonight, and then got coursework to catch up on over the weekend. If I am on and alone, feel free to invite me though. :)

And like Matclan said, I am in the UK. :)

If there is either 1 or 2 grunts in front of the globe you're pretty much -blam!- for a full stealth attempt. I had real issues with trying to kill or otherwise overcome the general when he had been made aware, so I would suggest trying to assassinate at least him before 'going loud' so to speak.

You're gonna have to actually, ya know sign up for the group :)

What do you guys do during a conference call anyway? Do you talk about strategies? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to actually try them out together rather than talk about them?

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

You can not call it Mythic if you have all skulls on on legendary,yes it is harder but it is still legendary with all skulls on. If it was mythic will my gamer score go higher when I finish the campain, when someone looks at my service record will it say I finish mythic. NO NO NO NO!!!! Why whould you waste your time on something so stupid, Oh yeah i guess its for people with no lives.

*ahem*

Look at your post. Back to mine. Back to yours, NOW BACK TO MINE. Sadly, it isn't mine. But if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate crap it could LOOK like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're looking through posts, finding the ones that yours could look like. Now look, MY POST IS NOW DIAMONDS.

Anything is possible when you think before you post.

I'm on a computer.

I dont mean to be rude sorry very bad mood ,I just dont understand why Its called mythic please tell me.

  • 11.19.2010 9:52 AM PDT

If you have all skulls on you wont be able to see your weopon, hands or target reticule(dont know if i spelled it right) But I just think it doesnt make it mtyhic just because you have skulls on, please prove me wrong.

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

Originally, it was called SLASO (Solo Legendary All Skulls On), but we didn't like the name. It felt awkward. It was also possible to "cheat" by saving and quitting to circumvent Iron sending you back to the start of the level when you died, and if you did it co-op, then not only did the name not work, but Iron only sent you back to the last checkpoint.

Thus, with a few rules added to SLASO, "Mythic" was born.

Da rulez:

for solo:
-Legendary
-All skulls on
-No saves (missions must be played start to finish in one sitting, though nothing prohibits pausing the game while you do something else)
-Scoring turned on (this way Bungie.net tracks it and you can prove you beat it with the saved film + gamestats)

for co-op, it's the same deal except every time ONE of you dies, the party leader must manually restart the mission. It's become standard procedure for both solo and co-op runs to quit the game and restart from the beginning so that only a single, successful run is in the film.

Also, not meaning offense, but in the future use the "edit" button to edit your post if nobody has posted after you. Multi-posts are inefficient and undesirable. They may also be against forum rules, I'm not sure.

Excellent post, General, and thank you.

To further add to the explanation, the term "Mythic" didn't just pop out of nowhere. Bungie's standard ranking systems goes Normal, Heroic, Legendary, and Mythic. But there is no "in-game" Mythic difficulty in the Halo franchise. Likewise, the hardest possible in-game setting is Legendary with all skulls. So naturally, the hardest difficulty should be given the highest title. Thus, Mythic was born.
