Uuuughh... LNoS is like being codemned to an eternity of suffering. I'm considering moving on in the campaign because it's seems I ran into a brick wall.

What part are you having problems? If it's with the hunters, then I can't help you. One time, he got stuck in a corner because the hunters were raping him with the fuel rod gun; it didn't stop. The whole time I was trying to find that damn sword elite, the room was shaking because of the continuous barrage of hunter fire. Emile never spawned in the room either.

If it's in the first smelting room and you've just killed two elites and the other one had retreated, I figured out how to get Emile in the fight. Just get close to the second elite, drop a shield and let him shoot at you for a bit, then run away. Emile should join the fight.

My problem isnt really getting him to fight. My problem is making sure he doesnt get knocked off the level. I hate how Im forced to target the concussion and repeater elites first to avoid having Emile getting knocked off before the hunters.

Im on the landing pad now. Got a full NR and DMR with a PP next to me. I gave the marines you save in the room before the landing pad a full DMR and a partially empty NR and Needler. Even if they dont do much, atleast I know I can get some extra ammo from them.

I hated PoA and Solace. SO MUCH. Never playing that campaign again. Feels great to be 7 though.

Oh yes. Now the real fun begins: All those enemies you skipped? Kill 'em for high scores! All those shortcuts you didn't take? Take 'em for epic times! All those guns you were using? Not any longer: do it zero shot style! Plasma weapons? Lets see how you do with 'em! Vehicles? A real soldier always prefers his boots on the ground.

Finished? No... I think we're just getting started.

You know, I would be all up for extra challenges and the usual. Speedrunning, high scores, unique runs were great. But I think I'm going to take a nice long rest from Mythic (once I've finished co-op with Gazas). I've been playing it since pretty much it was first started in Halo 3, I remember when there was four of us (Tyrant, StaroceanZero, Vincent and I) discussing tactics of how to breakdown levels.
The only times I'll play Mythic is if it's a weekly challenge or I'm held at gunpoint. And im my opinion, Halo 3 Mythic owned the rest.

Good -blam!- right there.

Molen completed Mythic, hey man let me let you know that you're awesome. I myself can't be assed to continue with Mythic, I guess I'm just a little bored of it, plus I need to spend a lot of time on it which I don't have...

Any tips on where to stand to avoid the fuel rod chieftan shots while killing the hammer chieftan? Twice now Ive gotten to the landing pad and got killed by the fuel rod chieftan while backing away from the hammer chieftan.

  • 11.21.2010 8:50 AM PDT

Winning or losing doesn't really matter much to me. I play for fun, and nothing you can say will change that. Sure, I have a low K/D, sure, I have a low rank in Halo 3, but I really don't care. It's not like it actually means anything. It's a number. And for the record, opinion and fact are two completely different things.

I finished Lone Wolf on Mythic. Took less than a minute.

Where are you holding out? I hung out by the entrance door and used those panels on the fence to hide behind. And/or stand further from the edge of said ledge.

I am one of the seven "soldiers" of Mythic, according to Louis Wu. That's the closest I've ever gotten to the front page.

Do we need the publicity? It seems there's just a few of us who frequent the thread. I remember the community got a butt-ton of people during the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge (one of whom, was me). Does more=merrier?

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

Thats where Ive been hanging out, but the hammer chieftan has been pushing me so far back that the fuel rof chieftan has a clear shot at me.

A lot of people don't try Mythic for one of two reasons:
1. They don't know of the concept
2. They think its unreasonably hard.

Well, the second one might still be true, but theres no reason people should be blinded to the oppurtunity because of lack of knowledge. Dispite the frustration, I found it immensely rewarding in the end.

7 is the de-facto Bungie favourite number, so I thought highlighting that this many people have done it would be a cool.

And hey, the conversation in this thread is far more positive than much of the rest of the forums. If we get a few extra people to talk to about Mythic that'd be a good thing in my book. And hey, with more people actively involved, strategies and tactics and shortcuts and stuff can be uncovered more quickly.

Just look at how quick Reach Mythic went compared to Halo 3 Mythic; mostly because a lot more people were aware and interested in doing it.

Hmm. Two suggestion then:
1. Practice that section more ;)
2. Try to head the hammer chieftain off earlier, as he's approaching the stairs, get his shields down quick.

What are you using against him? PP + Needle Rifle is very quick.

Has anyone heard from Vincent? I'm surprised that I finished the campaign before he did. The thread isn't the same without his witty commentary.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I would get hit by one of the Brute majors while I stood near the wall closest to the stairs and I would fall back as a precaution. This would make me too far back to pop the hammer Chieftan fast enough, and make me fall back more to the point where the fuel rod Chieftan could shoot me.

So far, I've only made it to the hanger twice, of the some 150+ attempts. It seems that you only pass the comm room about 15-20% of the time, with luck.

At Tyrant 2, its worth noting there are 3 Major Jackals visible just down over the ledge. 2 things here:
[...]
2, they can give you an early heads-up of how many Wraiths you're gonna have to deal with: if they start moving off to the right, towards the other side of the central mound, you know the right-most Wraith has flung itself off the cliff already.

Um, yeah. This isn't actually the case. Disregard this bit. The Jackals are just fidgety. You'd have to watch them for a little bit to make sure they were actually going all the way round to the other side.

On the plus side: I've finally figured out what that Chain Gun 'Hog on the broken bridge in the second Tyrant gun area is for: Wraiths and Hunters!!!

With the Ghost, it takes about a minute and a half to kill a Wraith, with the 'hog, about 40 seconds. Assuming you land all the shots of course. Theres a convenient ledge behind the downed Falcon with some trees that can be used to kill BOTH Wraiths.

Hitting Hunters face on with the chain gun also works as well! Its not super quick, but its way faster than the Revenant. Just gotta park it far enough away and hold the trigger down.

This means TotS can be done in around 20 minutes on Mythic.

Well, with luck, you'll do it next time you get past the comms room! I completed it on my 3rd time past that area.

Do you have a run or screenshot of you using that ledge? Im interested in redoing some of my runs after PoA so it would be nice to know exactly where on the ledge you are talking about.

Speaking of which, unless Iron turns on immense BS, I should be able to complete it early this week as I only had 1 death in my last practice run.

Good for you guys for telling us when you expect to complete the levels. It makes you strive to complete it, because you're worried about not looking like an -blam!-.

Whatever motivates you is good. It worked for me. :)

Ugh...sorry. This is where I throw in the towel. The only time I'll play on Mythic again is for challenges or some sort of contest. The capability of what you're suggesting comes into question.

To this proposition, I respectfully decline.
