No, nobody can prove they've done it and that's what you would have to do or else nobody will care. Every once in a while someone says they beat it SLASO but as soon as the questions start coming they vanish forever.

You are attempting something a lot of great gamer's have tried so your confidence is met with skepticism. Good luck

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed, knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on death, for lives: not men, for flags.

You've been saying that ever since forever. It's almost as if it's an automated message... :o

Most of the time you would be right, but not this time. All the people who've done H3 and Reach Mythic have tried and failed. It may simply be impossible.

If someone does do it and filmed it, it would be the greatest achievement in H2, bar none.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Still mythic is next to impossible to do on Halo 2 compared to Halo 3/Reach. While I found Halo 3 and Reach somewhat easy to do on mythic with friends, I get destroyed from playing most levels of Halo 2 on mythic.

I really do hope that someone will one day do the entire campaign on mythic and record it for us to watch and see where we failed and how they succeeded.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

People need to accept that Halo 2 SLASO is the most challenging and most difficult task to accomplish that the entire Halo series has to offer.

  • 07.20.2011 2:39 PM PDT

I do want to say that you can do it segmented, one level at a time. It's not as cool as doing it all in one sitting on single player but cool nevertheless. Coop would also work segmented but you have to film getting the skulls and playing one level till you beat it or pass out from trying.

I'm actually surprised that nobody has filmed one level. There's nothing on YT about it. Maybe a remake would give us a menu of skulls, then more people would try SLASO and film it.

Good luck, you"ll need it. Who knows, you might actually succeed.

Good man Grumpy ...glad to see your still here..hope your well,,been awhile since I posted here but I saw your post and had to respond,,,I reckon it is without doubt the most difficult challenge in gaming history,think about it ALL SKULLS ON...including the "Assassins" skull,,,which as you all know means all enemies in game are permanently cloaked. Allies can sometimes see them but mostly they can't, so they can't help much...impossible....this skull is not in any of the other Halo games as I understand it,( Massive might disagree),,,I would love to see a video of someone getting to the first Hangar on ciaro with all the skulls on..As Grumpy said GOOD LUCK and I mean it ...worth a try for the sheer fun of watching sword wielding elites crowding Johnson as soon as the door opens up on ciaro (Seal the fire on that bulkhead is the least of his worries) if you live that long...have a go I did ....no need for a video as I lasted about 30 secs watching the carnage....MAGIC STUFF

If you mean coop, nobody has shown proof of doing it. With something as epic as SLASO for H2 is you would think someone would have posted on YouTube even for a coop LASO run. Lol, there's not even any fake vids about it, that's how hard it is.

I think there would be a lot more activity of attempting H2 LASO if the skulls were on a menu. It used to take me 20 minutes to get them all so if players could get all skulls with one click then SLASO may have been done by now, idk.

For recognition of the achievement you must:
- Film from the very start, that includes all the skulls
- Never stop the tape, there are special websites set up to legitimize claims about video recordings and they look for stoppages.

It's a pretty big deal in video circles (and is a big deal to me) so I hope someone does it someday.

I've made it to the first hangar with all skulls except Iron (because it's redundant and I couldn't determine which skull it was), IWBYD (because I couldn't determine which skull it was), and The Armory skull (because that's the real skull of mythic proportions. Assassins is harmless).

Of course, reverts (IIRC) and deaths were allowed, since this was just a guide for anyone who would like to attempt it. I once even had to use cheats because I made a mistake and lost Johnson after triggering a loading point. Don't lose Johnson on that level. He's the only way to get past the first hangar.

That's fun to do at the beginning, but that's something you should never do when you get to the first hangar. He'll be pushed into the wall.

Yeah, I've enjoyed all your clips, especially Metropolis. It seems like you have it figured out. Maybe you could make a tut, idk, it's a lot of trouble but I would post it at jumprs.org where some of the old HIH people hang out.

Speaking of which, I think it's time I stop delaying and tackle Delta Halo.

  • 07.20.2011 5:38 PM PDT

Cool!

I've been thinking of the skulls not needed; IWHBYD and Iron. Maybe we should just call it Mythic because the acronym LASO or SLASO doesn't work for practical purposes. That would shorten the time to get them all for xbox users.

Does PC have a menu for the skulls?

Cool!
Here's the secret steps I used to get past Metropolis and Cairo Station. ;)

1. Watch Legendary video guides and speedruns, especially by MisterMonopoli (ok jk I didn't even know about his videos before I attempted those two levels. But I seriously recommend it).

2. Play on Legendary.

3. Observe as you play.

For examples,

On Legendary, Ultra Grunts can be beaten down. On Mythic, they have to be damaged a lot before dying from beat downs. The Grunt Birthday Party skull might contribute to that.

On Legendary, closer Jackal snipers are easy to see. On Mythic, they're more difficult to see, making it more riskier to go out and attack them. Maybe there's a way to lure them to your position or maybe you can take out all of them with frags?

(EDIT: I completely forgot about Envy skull. That skull is your one way ticket to salvation.)

4. Turn on all skulls except the Armory's and play through again. You can turn it down a notch by turning off Black Eye. Blind is optional. Allow reverts and deaths. Tackle one part at a time, but keep future parts in mind.

5. The real thing a.k.a impossible.


As you can see starting here, I died a lot of times by the Jackal snipers. It was my first time facing them on Legendary to be honest. Also, it was my first time playing the level on Legendary. But it has been a while since I've played Halo 2.

I wasn't able to recall how MisterMonopoli did it so I used 2 rockets on the left snipers (one at a time) and frags + rockets on right snipers. But now that I've taken a look at his video, one was fragged, the others were blown up by 2 rockets. It is still possible to kill Jackal snipers with a single frag grenade on Mythic.



And to anyone who wants to do it on PC, use Fraps to record the desktop then start up Halo 2 with dev trainer. That way, you can show the dev trainer menu. Use Handbrake to convert the large files to smaller size for convenient YouTube uploading. Or just put them into one file and then convert.

Yeah, you have a good point there. I already knew that IWHBYD was hard to retrieve, but after reading on the Iron skull, it is also hard to collect.

Also, I think we need to adjust Halo 2 Mythic some more. Too many things can go wrong. Luck is another factor.

Since Iron skull is redundant, doesn't that mean we are free to make our own rules about reverts, deaths, etc.? I propose a new Mythic, an improvised version.

Here's what the improvised Mythic should have:

-allows reverts if the player is stuck, but it depends on the circumstances
-allows deaths by Jackal snipers, but it depends on the circumstances
-allows deaths at early parts of certain levels that start you off right in the midst of enemies (i.e. Gravemind)

PC doesn't have a menu, but certain dev trainers do. I could only get Paulus' dev trainer to work. It is the one featured in my videos.

Yeah, as far as how we play Mythic, we just have to state the skulls used so we could do it anyway we want, especially the revert thing. There's lots of choices anyway:

SP
Coop
Segmented by level
So why not just make it through anyway you can? Deaths wouldn't matter as long as you keep filming. Frankly, I never tried not to die, I always played to 'just survive' and it may be possible to beat H2 Mythic that way. At least a few levels.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Hell, Halo 2 on Legendary was almost impossible. Good luck beating it on Mythic. The only way I can think of beating it is sword canceling and glitching out of every level so there aren't enemies to fight. :p

So I was right. The lack of a single player effecting Iron skull leaves room for more options.

Co-op would be the best way to do it legitimately, since Iron works on that IIRC.

My job is not to finish the levels on Mythic, but to come up with strategies so other people can attempt it.

I play to find.

It's a shame that long range sword flying doesn't work in Vista.
