@ RC

on your package run, where exactly are you standing in order to melee/plasma pistol the elite in the gunner seat in the wraith? I cant seem to copy this maneuver without getting owned by the backlash on the cannon.

I'm crouched. Not standing. Is that your issue?

Went surprisingly smoothly, too bad I messed up at Airview Base...

WOW! Amazing! I've managed to pull that off a couple of times on Legendary, but never managed to work up a route for the rest of the mission to properly speedrun it.
Mythic though? Wows. Makes me want to run SB again...


That particular run was kind of a fluke. I've never had it go that smoothly before, or since. However, even on the not-so-smooth runs it would only take another minute, maybe.

Following that trick I typically rush Airview by parking the ghost behind and under the base, running up the outside, jumping and hitting the switch from the outside, then retreating to the ghost. Then I rush Farragut the same way you just posted a vid for. The rest is pretty straightforward, plus throw in the concussion jump inside of ONI and you got yourself a damn good speedrun!

Unfortunately, I have yet to pull off all three in a row, but summer is coming!

I probably can't (and don't want to) play that long. It is a weeknight, after all.

Sleepy time is important too.

Also I'm looking for a successful run of ONI Sword base where both objectives were rushed. Preferably someone other than RC since he is and will be in a number of my videos. Want to give other conquerors a chance at being in the lime light, mainly since I will be featuring a number of his videos in the special PoA episode :-)


well, I most certainly not the person you're looking for. My ONI run took over three hours. (take no chances!)

MT&T Vol. 2 looks great, Tyrant! Wish I could have completed the next two objectives because I use the same strategy Eli does for the two bases. :P

@Dark, well done. I saw your NA run on youtube cruising randomly through halo videos, and I'm looking forward to your package... i mean THE package.... i mean you know what i mean.

@Tyrant, thanks for the Mythic Tips & Tricks feature! I've been away from the thread because of finals (just turned in my last college assignment yesterday) so I had no idea that when I clicked on the HBO link to V2 that my ONI run would be featured in it. Glad to be of service to the Mythic community :)

Now that college is over, I'm free!!!!!!!! Except for that whole job thing. But that's in the future. For now, My life = Halo + g/f. Sometimes simultaneously ;)

The new tips and tricks video is such an eye opener. The ONI: Sword Base strategies are going to be so useful.

Good stuff!

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

You made a mistake in your tips video Tyrant, grabbing the Falcon was not discovered by Cody Miller he was first to use it in a speed run. It was found by Slynki.

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!

No. I wasn't concerned about who first figured out you could take the Falcon, but rather the person who figured out you could place the Falcon in the Spirit and use it to break through the invisible barrier. In the video I saw, Miller was the first to put it all together, not just take the Falcon.

So special PoA episode eh?

I've got a clip from my run of squishing all the zealots at the end which I could upload and render. Just to show people its possible.

What else.... ooh, get a couple of clips of the Wraith and 2 bone-yard de-loads for people who are REALLY scared of those elites/wraith?

And include a clip of running along the rooftops on the left hand side of the Wraith area? It was mentioned in the guide but there wasn't a clip linked. Could merge that clip with a wraith de-load clip if you wanted Tyrant?

Join the Spartan I Project. Helping you achieve 1750 GS. Check out our promo vid.

Since you're working on PoA, here's something I tried, though I've only done so on Easy. (I'm no Conqueror.) A few pages back, I talked about moving wooden crates and barrels to block the entrance to the final area, before you give the package to Keyes. Those objects will persist through the cut scene. The right combination might keep one Zealot from retreating inside.

So far, I haven't found the right combination of wooden crates and barrels to keep him outside. Eventually he jumps over or knocks them away.

However, I did find that two ammo crates, laying horizontally, seemed to befuddle him. Unfortunately, I don't think you can get the crates up the necessary stairs without Armor Lock's EMP burst or a lot of explosive ammo. As far as I know, the last opportunity for Armor Lock is at the beginning of Rally Point Alpha, so you'd have to forego the Drop Shield.

Due to the time it takes to move the crates, I don't see this helping anyone's time. And losing Drop Shield would make things harder for novices like me. Just thought I'd throw it out as something for the experts to try.

There are at least four that I already have in mind. Well, really five that merge into three, but I still need more.

1) Getting a concussion rifle and using it to get to the Mass Driver (this is the main one).
2) The rooftop skip.
3) How to lure the Elites in the second smelting room down to the bottom floor and kill them one at a time, then skip the hunters (for those who have a consistently hard time deloading the Hunters).

Hmmm... and I'll probably group the deloads together. So how quick is the Zealot method? That could be our fifth.

Ughhhh... I moved into my new apartment last week, and Comcast is taking forever to add our address to their database so that they can come out and set up our modem (which pisses me off like no other... I'm a freaking Networking major and more tech-savy than anybody they have there, yet I have to pay this stupid $30 installation fee because I haven't had Comcast in the apartment before...). I just hope that I get internet before this week's over so that I can get the weekly done, or else I'm going over to Travis's to do the weekly. I miss good ol' multi-mythic shenanigans :'(
