Subject: Hardest mission on legendary?

What would you consider the hardest mission to complete on legendary?
I found Pillar of Autumn to be the hardest solo.

Pillar of Autumn is easy lol, the "hardest" part are the buggers, just because you can skip 80% of the mission. I think exodus or long night of solace. Definately long night of solace on mythic difficulty though.

How do you skip 80% of PoA?

I can name a few big skips here, there are speedruns on yt though. You can skip the whole first part without killing anything until the buggers, taking like no damage. Theres a hunter skip, basically despawning the hunters so you dont have to deal with them, and if you have a concussion rifle + tilt skull, you can kill 2/3 dropships at the very end of the level using the mac gun (concussion rifle jump to the gun the same way you would go to get the unfrig medal) . The only parts that are unskippable are the buggers in the canyons and the final room.

All in all, POA on legendary takes 25 - 35 mins depending on experience

Ah, that does make it easier, playing it without skipping anything was kinda hard though.

Ugh yeah lol, first time doing the campaign on legendary I never knew about any of the skips. The boneyard parts and the wraith were both giant pains up the ass lol.

  • 02.03.2012 7:21 PM PDT

Tomorrow I think I'm gonna go through the entire campaign on legendary and try these skips.

  • 02.03.2012 7:24 PM PDT

Add me, I may join you after I finish my homework, last time I tried campaign online it was really laggy though.

  • 02.03.2012 7:27 PM PDT

Alright, I'll send you a friend request.

  • 02.03.2012 7:28 PM PDT

no. nonono

For me, Long Night Of Solace was the hardest. Probably because I'm terrible at controlling the spaceship thing.

  • 02.03.2012 10:46 PM PDT

Only on Legendary? I'll admit the hardest (to go all the way through without skipping any part of the mission) would be Pillar of Autumn.

But LASO? That's different.

LNoS on LASO is the only LASO mission I have left to complete.

  • 02.03.2012 11:05 PM PDT

Every single pummel I have is unboosted.
I play GGL. (Grifball)
I hit inheritor 14/1/12. 16 months after release. I have a life fellas.
Every single killionaire I have is unboosted. 22 from grifball, 4 from LD.

LNoS is the hardest mission on Legendary/LASO followed very, very closely by PoA. The thing that drills into LNoS is the ship run, more specifically the Elite Four (pun intended) kill squad right at the very end. It's a kill squad because your facing 4 Ultra elites with lots of cover and they have a dual wielder, 2 Plasma Launchers, and a Concussion Rifle. PoA has lots an lots of muck ups you can just walk through.

Play Hard, Play Nice

Inheritor# ... ah hell, no one cares anymore lol

Noble Actual was hard for me...

  • 02.04.2012 12:19 AM PDT

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

-Master Chief

Id say Pillar of Autuam, took me quite awhile to get through it.

Welcome.
You have just entered my mind. Please sign the contract before continuing further into this black hole to acknowledge I am not at fault if any mental/physical damage is caused to you whilst viewing my history. If any damage to yourself is caused, please call your whaambulance for advice.

The very last mission was the hardest. I always died in the end so I've never managed to finish the game.

  • 02.04.2012 12:50 AM PDT

Why are people saying POA? lol. I have no troubles with that mission. The unskippable parts are very easy, just because buggers and skirmishers die to one headshot, and the elites in the last room die to a few plasma pistol hits + headshot combos.

The Song Of Nephilim

Xenoblade <3

Exodus probably.

  • 02.04.2012 5:50 AM PDT

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

LNOS was ballz on Legendary

Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.

Exodus, Dang concussion rifles.

  • 02.04.2012 5:56 AM PDT

You can skip most of the hard parts of exodus though =\ The only place where I have troubles is after the jetpack skips, there is the fuel rod cheiftan, hes a beast..

I don't like to skip, It takes the fun out of the campaign.
