Halo 3 Legendary, no skulls on, or Halo 3 normal, with Tough Luck, Catch, Fog, Famine, Thunderstorm, Cowbell, Grunt Birthday, and IWHBYD on?

I'm trying to get the meta-game achievements. They're the only ones I have left until I've got all the achievements.

Legendary.

...But you're going to want to play on Normal with skulls on anyways.
Oh, and don't use Cowbell. Trust me.

I'd say Normal with the skulls. Legenadary is too easy

Who should I trust? I thought cowbell would be helpful on the flood levels when they don't throw grenades, and it would still be helpful even on the levels when the grunts spam grenades.

If you're just going to play Normal I see no reason not to have Cowbell activated. Just be extra cautious of grenades.

It's the only skull that gives you an advantage as well. And it makes some really funny -blam!- happen.

I love watching the Arbiter get stuck like with 8 grenades at once and then flying out of the map.

Neither. Well actually, it depends on the level. But I would just do it on Normal. Do your favorite level on Legendary with a few skulls and the rest on Normal with several skulls.

Turn on Mythic when you attempt The Covenant. Those Elite Majors will be very helpful if you can keep them alive. Pick up one of the dropped weapons, stick an Elite with a spike grenade. He'll take out his sword. Swap weapons with him. Wait for him to put away his new weapon. Give him his sword back.

At Mission Start,

just bypass the beach fight. Snag a Ghost at the area overlooking the first tower and boost into it (like in those Mythic kamikaze videos). Don't pick up the Camo. Don't get rid of your Laser until I say you can. Jump onto the stacked supply cases, pick up the Power Drain, headshot the three Grunts on the other side, and go up on the elevator. When you come up, aim high, throw your power drain. If you did it correctly, both Brute bodyguards should be shieldless. Stick/plasma pistol overcharge the two Brutes coming to greet you, headshot the bodyguards in front of the glass screen, and assassinate the Chieftain. Make sure he has Invincibility. When you come down, use it and go through the Covies and wait at the Active Camo. When your Invincibility wears off, pick up the Camo and go to the Hornets.

At Rally Point Alpha,

after securing the third tower, give the War Chieftain's fuel rod gun to Arbiter. Don't stick the Elites yet since they won't produce any sword. If the War Chieftain dropped a Power Drain, use it on the Brutes that come out of the door. Or keep it for later.

Swap your Battle Rifle (or whatever sidearm you have) for the Fuel Rod Gun on the right side of the tower. To deal with the Drones, go to the left side of the tower, wait for them to assemble, and throw a frag grenade. If timed correctly, they should retreat. Remember that Laser I told you to save? Use it on the Hunters. On Legendary, it should be an instant kill. Even with Mythic AND Tilt turned on, the Laser will severely weaken them.

For the next part, if you still have your Elites, you can arm them with swords now. Go outside the tower after arming 2-3 Elites and return. You should get a checkpoint. Do this with the remaining Elites, go outside again, return inside, but jump (to delay it) to the right side of the tower. You should get a checkpoint. Boost yourself up into the terminal room with the fuel rod gun, step on the elevator, but don't activate it. Get off and rejoin your Elites. Watch your motion sensor. The Brutes should be coming towards you.

When you see red, you can either go inside, which will make them turn around (you can assassinate them one by one, but you have to wait for them to get to where they came from), or aumbush them with a Power Drain (if you didn't use it). Either way, if you have your Elites and they got swords, this will be easy.

To be continued.

Man am I glad I still remember my strategies. It's been a month since I came on here.

I normally play with 5-8 skulls on normal when I go for meta achievements. Occasionally I'll play heroic.

  • 05.13.2011 6:53 PM PDT

Why are you here?

Normal is easier. I do the Meta-game acheivements on normal with all gold skulls except for iron, black eye, and catch. It's still really easy. I end up getting like around double the required amount.

  • 05.13.2011 7:50 PM PDT

Don't anger me...

Use the following items:Tough Luck,Catch,Fog,Famine and any white skulls you want to use.Must be on normal.

Thus he came alone to Angband's gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth in single combat. And Morgoth came.

Halo 2 legendary. ... Well, I guess I can't really say, since I haven't played Halo 1 on legendary all the way through... Ahhh, what kind of Halo fan am I???

I was addicted to Halo CE and Halo 2 for a long time. I went through a RECOVERY and stopped playing. I then went through a RELAPSE and was hooked once again. I stopped playing since Halo:Reach did not live up to be greater than Halo 3, but now I have gone through a RE-UP and again I game on Reach. Like this? Demand an ENCORE.
:O

for the meta-game achievements do what I did (if you want).
-Heroic Difficulty
-4-6 gold skulls ON
-grunt birthday party/ IWHBYD skulls on (ALWAYS HAVE THEM ON!) :)
