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

If you get the Drone building first, there is a camo you can grab on the way out near the elevator. You can take that with you to the Hospital and the Club respectively :-)

When I was playing legendary, it came out after the club and hospital. ==

Btw, I just finish watching your tip of the spear mythic run and... How the hell did the falcon you need to take to the spire survive so many fuel rod cannon rounds and plasma grenades and still be able to fly?

Fortunately it's 100% invincible, which is awesome because it serves as an excellent distraction while you take out the Hunters :-)

Btw, the "offical" Mythic chapter for Tip of the Spear will be released tomorrow on HBO with fully narrated videos :-)

Haha. I cant wait. Your mythic guide will certainly help me alot. :-)

Btw, in Oni Sword Base, do you recommend taking the warthog instead but giving the marine riding in it a rocket since there a few throughout the level? Or is it easier to complete with a wraith?

Personally, I found it easier with the Wraith simply because you are in control of where the pain goes rather than leaving it in the hands of an LD-level functioning Marine :-)

I'm sorry but what's LD?

Slightly more technical term for "stupid" :-P lol

  • 12.02.2010 4:30 AM PDT

Haha. Actually, the marines are not too bad. At least they would not drive me off the cliff like Kat did on my legendary solo run. ==

She even tried to splatter me with the warthog once!

The banshees and shade turrets always kill me on New Alexandria... And the freaking concussion rifle elite in the hospital too.

Hey, thedisintergated, and welcome to our abode! It would certainly be nice to have more people around here now that a lot of us are getting bored of Halo. Maybe you'll make an interesting discovery and help the mainstream audience beat Mythic.

That's the goal of your guide, right Tyrant? I think it's going to be tough; I always thought that you needed to be better than most people and you needed to have the patience of a blackjack card counter to beat levels on Mythic.

Me? Bored? No...but Black Ops is so new and shiny...

I'm sure it's just a phase...

You will only get bored of it if you play too much.

I'm certainly not bored, I just have other stuff to do. However I don't feel like playing anyway.

Tyrant's TOTS guide is on HBO. There's some funny stuff there!

I watched the spire video to see how things have improved; at the very end of the last video, it became really clear that you do the voice overs while watching the recording of your run; it sounds kind of awkward, but I think it's better than recording it while you play; I think that would be insanely difficult.

I don't know, I think I still prefer the "mash the plasma pistol trigger until you get RSI" method for the sword ultra in the end.

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

I'm not bored with Reach, but after Mythic and the multitude of playtests and forging tweaks for the Forgetacular Contest, I'm a bit burned out for the moment. For now, I'm on an Assassin's Creed 2/Borderlands kick, but I'll cycle back around to Reach sooner or later.

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.

I'm still in Mythic limbo. After beating LNoS I don't really have the drive to do random levels like Exodus. Don't get me wrong, I will finish Reach on Mythic but right now every time I consider it it just doesn't appeal.
Besides, Reach has a lot to offer and the new DLC is great so that's absorbing my time. I still keep up to date here though, and I'm sure that when I beat Exodus I'll get my mojo back. 'Til then it'll be done when it's done and I'm not going to rush myself and turn it into a job rather than fun.

Good luck to everyone still going, I'll get back to this eventually.

Since most people here suck at description, and I'd really be interested and learning more, would you mind uploading a rendered video of how this works? With two walkthroughs going on, a movie, and a full time job, I don't really have a lot of spare time to download it and watch the whole thing. So something convenient to view would be excellent. Otherwise, I can't really get a good read of the description and have to dismiss it.

Thanks though :-)


Here you go Tyrant, don't have any render minutes but it's only 40 seconds and easily downloadable. :D

I've never once had a playthrough where the General hasn't taken this route - certainty is never really guaranteed in Mythic but the odds seem good here lol. And it's pretty simple to clear the rest of the Bridge from where the video ends - just by plasma pistolling the elites from the door and using the needle rifle to take out the rest of the grunts.

I agree I'm loving the new map pack and PoA is so frustrating!

It's not like it's a contest though...well there was one for first place.

Still, a lot of people finished Mythic after me in Halo 3 but they can probably kick my ass now (not really, I'm just being nice).

Cus earning credits and forging is more important than being awesome apparently. :(

just finished nightfall as a warm up to tip of the spear (never tried mythic before :D ), seems to me a lot of it is based on luck, where your enemies spawn etc...

but what I want to know is, I heard there was a mythic group? is it for people attempting to complete mythic or just people who HAVE done it? or what, because I assume you couldn't join till you had done at least one level either way...

Gratz on beginning your Mythic journey! Yes, there is a Mythic group. In order to gain access, you'll need to complete at least one mission on Mythic in either Halo 3, ODST, or Reach. It's an excellent place for people to keep track of their current Mythic progress :-) You don't need to be a conqueror to join. Only have one mission under your belt from one of the three above games and you're set.

Welcome to Mythic! :-)

I'm not sure, but keep in mind that for Halo 3 it took awhile for it to be stickied too :-P
