Stick to what works best for you! There are quite a few areas in the campaign that the people who regularly visit this thread have different views on how to tackle - the bridge in LNoS comes to mind.

Also Tyrant I have a clip in my fileshare you could possibly use in a further tips video, after the PoA special. It's a quick 40 second video of hijacking the ghost at the start of The Package and using it to skip straight to the scorpian. It's not particularly ground breaking (or rendered!) and it's definately been done before, I think it was in Eli's video I first saw a version of it. But I couldn't find the film in his fileshare and hey, just trying to contribute!

I use that in my Mythic run, I also got it from Eli, not sure if anyone used it before him though.


Edit: Updated the High Score Leaderboards in the group, a few newcomers have a few records now. Take a look to see if you made it in.

Tip of the Spear in 10:15 with film.

Had a bad fight at top of the Spire. Sword Elite refused to co-operate and decided he'd rather hide than fight me.

Watching your video helps alot, but in the video you hijack a Wraith. Everytime I've tried to do that, it's already driven off the cliff by the time I can get near it.

Is there anything special I'm supposed to do? I used the chaingun on the warthog to destroy the Tyrant gun (much quicker than the Revenant or Ghost) and then raced down to the cliff in the Revenant, and the Wraith has already committed suicide...

I think that as long as if someone dies, you restart the entire mission, it counts. Not sure though. Better wait for Tyrant or RC to say.

On the Mytic Group page it says Mythic difficulty is Solo with all skulls, including the Blind Skull.

But on the Mythic guide's FAQ:
Q. Can Mythic be done in teams?
A. Yes, but each time a teammate dies, you must manually reset the entire mission and start from the beginning.

Still, I'd prefer doing it Solo. Seems more fun, and less likely to cause arguments ("You idiot! You ran into that grenade!!" etc)

Twenty-ninth Halo 3 Mythic Conqueror
Eleventh Halo 3: ODST Mythic Conqueror
Fifth Halo: Reach Mythic Conqueror

Hey, guys! Just got back from Buffalo after seeing Wicked for the second time, and the first time with seats that had an unobstructed view. From start to finish, the show is amazing, but the part that always sends chills down my spine is when the wicked witch is lifted up by a crane during the bridge section of "Defying Gravity." While strobe lights flash around her and an offstage fan blows her cape, she sings the most defiant, proud, and passionate part of the musical--of any musical and of any song I've ever heard. The feeling I get when I watch that part...I...I can't describe it. If you go for any reason, go for that song.

Sorry about the unrelated rant; I just really, really, really love this musical; probably in a way that I should tell my therapist about.

Anyway, Mythic:

I can confirm this. I've played with Tyrant; we've been mentioned on HBO a few times. When one of us dies, we swear at them, insult their mothers, yell three-letter accusations about their -blam!- orientation, and then the party leader backs out and we start from the beginning.

It's a lot of fun.

As long as none of you die.

Halo Reach Mythic Conqueror

So I may seem like a man obsessed, but I tried something else new today for the rooftop skip on PoA. So the biggest downfall of the rooftop skip is that you can easily fall to the ground and be in trouble right? Well I found that once you fall you can advance through the house. In the house you will most likely be rushed by a brute. He can be easily taken out with 2 rockets and you can proceed further. Inside this house there are two possible doorways you can go through. One of these doorways has a stairway with a railing that you can easily get on and jump to the next rooftop. I want to try this out in co-op to see if the jump is really as easy because jumps are always 5x harder in co-op. The only real danger here is that sometimes 2 brutes will rush you which can be tough to deal with. This is much simpler than the truck method I posted earlier, but again it may not be as simple in co-op.

On today's L.D. Pillar challenge I did it in co-op and tried the truck method and after getting the truck almost over the second barrier the wraith bombed it and it was very annoying, so this may be a good work around.

Halo Reach - Make a prequel to the fight.
Halo CE - Begin the fight.
Halo 2 - Continue the fight.
Halo 3 - Finish the fight.
Halo 4 - Start a new fight.

Does anyone know when the Package on LASO is going to be the weekly?

And can I do this for the weekly:

Tonight, I do almost all of the level, save & quit, then finish it tomorrow for the challenge?

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

I just did the PoA daily with some friends... 3 times. Each run was about 30 minutes since I skipped just about everything up to the landing pad and then did the concussion jump (which seems to be getting easier each time I try it) to cut out the extra waves. Based on this, I estimate the PoA weekly won't be all that bad.

  • 05.16.2011 3:04 AM PDT

i cant quite get hang of the concussion jump

practice makes perfect though

#1 Daily & Weekly Challenges (100%)
#1 K/D in BTB All Stars (17.55)
1st Place in FLAG Firefight Tournament 2011*
*Won a rare Halo Comic-Con poster signed by Bungie!
#1 and only Zero Shot Conqueror (Halo 3, Legendary, No Shooting, No Deaths)
Reach, ODST & H3 Mythic Conqueror (Legendary, All Skulls On, No Deaths)
11 World Record Halo Speedruns

The Package LASO challenge is up. Did it in 35 min with a friend, super easy with both a Banshee and Wraith taking everything down at the end.

If you are doing the Weekly alone, I saw some posts about using the initial Ghost rush. I believe I was the first to perform it here (full film reposted for your viewing pleasure and how I handle the rest of the mission).

Basically you sprint along the right side ignoring all enemies, hijack the ghost, and boost like hell to the tank and get in immediately. Enemies will not chase you but you may start taking shots from the next tower. Success rate is relatively low ~20% but it's the beginning of the mission so you can simply restart if you die.

@ 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?


Ahhh... Thanks. Common sense wins again.

I don't think I'm going to attempt this solo. I struggled at the end on Legendary with a few skulls on. Having all of them on will absolutely slaughter me.

That's why you should board the Wraith and use it to slaughter the Covenant.
