What I figured would end up being wishful thinking was indeed wishful thinking. I just spent a while playing from Rally Point Alpha to figure out what the hell to do about the 3 Elites in the mining facility prior to the Hunters. I'd gotten to that point in an earlier Mythic run and died since I'd forgotten what Mike did in his video. A lengthy standoff ended with me getting chased down by the dual wielder below the main floor. After getting my fill of practice with them and skipping the Hunters for the first time, a peculiar thing happened. None of the enemies in the room just past the Hunters spawned. I assume the dual wielder and his 3 Grunt buddies would've still come out of the upstairs door, but since I wanted to practice the Hunter skip again, I saved and quit before going upstairs (forgot to turn off Iron.... dumbass). Has anyone else seen this before?


Don't use my video as a guide for the Three Elite Smelting Room. My initial plan was to use the strategy in RC Master's video, but the dual wielding elite fell into the lower level and got stuck, so I had to improvise. The other two elites, I guess were standing in musket volley formation, so I assassinated them easily. This is probably why my run was under an hour. Actually, try fighting the dual wielding elite face to face i.e plasma-pepper him head-on while dodging his shots. He won't throw grenades, which is the reason I think this works for me. Just make sure you kill him before the two elites from the phantom are dropped off!

I mentioned this earlier: the trigger for the enemies (this includes the dual elite and his grunt subordinates that come out of the door) in the Camo Sword Elite Smelting Room is near the door that's supposed to open after you've killed the hunters. If you jump through the window, but you are far away from the door while you do it, you skip the trigger. You can run around the room without enemies, grab DMR ammo, refill on health if necessary and if you're clever, set traps. The door to the next area won't open, so you'll have to run to the threshold of the door (you won't have to jump through the window again and risk death by hunter; just run near the door) to trigger the enemies. You can watch my video on where to jump; you'll notice the enemies did not spawn immediately. The reason I didn't grab DMR ammo was that on previous runs I had done that and the sword elite kept charging and killing me. I wanted to see if running around the room had any impact on that.

Turns out, it doesn't.

The Mythic Model. Yeah, I know that's the Legendary Guide, but she was hired on to star in a few shoots we have planned for Mythic down the road. [/i]


Woah, woah, woah. Woah. Woah.

Did you say, hired? Is Mythic a business now?

I demand my share!

Oh come on, General. As a Mythic Conqueror yourself, you should know that it's a requirement for all Mythicers to be strikingly good-looking and have millions of girlfriends.

  • 12.18.2010 12:15 PM PDT

No black and white in the blue.

Thanks for the tips, Mike. I downloaded RC's video for good measure, and will probably watch it after I eat something. I thought someone had mentioned the second smelting room enemies' spawns before, but I had no idea who or on what page. By the way, does anyone know where the trigger is for Phantom that drops off the 2 Elites? It seemed to me that it was right outside the door (next to the health packs, ARs and frags), but I'm not quite sure.

To be quite honest Tyrant, this seems really over the top for a video game guide. Then again, it's your guide and your money, so you may, of course, do as you wish.

Rather than double posting, I'll just edit this one (please notice me!). I'm at the landing pad for the first time (yay), and only now am I wondering why I started this run so late. It's basically 3AM, and here I am trying to finish PoA. I've got my DMR, a full Needle Rifle and a juggled Plasma Pistol. Here comes wave one....

Well, poop on a stick. After killing the Hammer Chieftain, I must've thought I was invincible, because I just got stupid with the Fuel Rod Chieftain. Bleh.... well, it is early, I suppose, and only my first time getting there.

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

New Alexandria conquered.

You know, what sucks about this mission is that the hospital is actually quite easy, but the one item that makes it tough to do without active camo is the concussion Ultra. Everything else is simple except for him... If it weren't for that, it really wouldn't matter what order the objectives were given.

And thanks, RC for the side mission guide. Believe it or not, I didn't need it this time since I just happened to know where these two objectives were located, but it's a huge help to the over all community. Nice work :-)

I tried Nightfall on mythic today and I died a few times. With iron on, the mission restarted but I completed after dying a few times. So is it still counted as completing the mission if I died a few times?

As long as you let Iron do its job; yes. It just looks nicer in the film if it contains only your completing run and not any failed attempts.

Ok. Thks. I rather leave everything in there because I'm too lazy to edit it. Lol.

On the plus side, we now can make clips in campaign, so you could just start the recording from the successful run to leave out the rest.

The Package is already done :-P Link is in the OP. As far as written/narrated guides go, we're only up to Exodus. New Alexandria won't be out until January, and yes we're releasing them in order :-)

Does it count if I did Lone Wolf on mythic? Took me 3 seconds :P

Yup. Just PoA. Hoping to be able to knock it out this week. I love doing my Legendary and Mythic runs together :-)

Pretty sure we're on three people who're 8/9. So it's only a matter of time before one of them gets that #9 slot.

Oh, Hubb aswell?
Four then, THE Depleted is at 8/9.

  • 12.19.2010 11:35 AM PDT

No black and white in the blue.

Had I not acted the fool early this morning, I'd be #9. Strafing works against the Plasma Launcher, but not the Fuel Rod Gun (D'OH). Heh, guess I'm still reprimanding myself for that. Once I get back from the gym, I'm taking it to PoA again. A shot at the top ten is great motivation.

I feel I should mirror Tyrant in thanking RC Master for his New Alexandria guide. It's pretty much essential unless you like spending hours (may be an exaggeration) finding and memorizing locations yourself. Thanks, RC.

Before I jump into a mission, how have people been dealing with the Fuel Rod Chieftain? It seems like if anyone would give me trouble at the landing pad, it would be him.

The narrated videos are the ones I watch. Even though I'm pretty sure that the only mission I'll ever conquer on Mythic is Noble Actual (yes, the no-play cutscene :P ), I'm still having a blast watching your videos.
