[quote][u][b]UPDATE 10/8/2010:[/b][/u] As of today, the Mythic community has [i]collectively[/i] conquered the entire campaign on Mythic Difficulty! Proof that the feat can indeed be accomplished! Or as Sgt. Johnson would say, "It's tough, but it ain't invincible!" Well done, community. Well done.[/quote]
Reach is here, folks, so if you're like me and Legendary might not have seemed quite hard enough, you may be looking for a more challenging experience. So, after you've maxed out your campaign fun, are you ready to up your game to the next level?
With both the [url=http://halo.bungie.org/gameplay/halo3_slaso_2.0/]Halo 3 Mythic Guide[/url] and [url=http://halo.bungie.org/gameplay/odst_slaso/]the Halo 3: ODST Mythic Guide[/url] now complete, it's now time to begin work on Reach. I will be posting my progress daily as to what the status is on my Mythic progress through the game right up until it's complete. Our current goal is to have the walkthrough released by the end of the year.
But having playing Firefight first hand at PAX in Seattle this past year, I can tell you that Mythic in Reach will be unlike anything you've ever experienced before. Not only has Bungie thrown Elites into the mix, but the AI is now smarter than ever and won't take being conquered laying down anymore.
As before, this will serve as a progress/help threat up until the walkthrough makes it to the masses, at which point this will thread will be here strictly for aiding others in their own quest for Mythic. Godspeed to all of you who embark on his/her own journey!
If sifting through pages and pages of forum conversation to simply find a few pointers isn't your thing, then please feel free to check out [url=http://twitter.com/MythicTyrant]Tyrant's Tweets[/url] strictly dedicated to the Mythic experience. Count on a new Mythic/campaign tip being posted daily.
So, without further ado, I now officially begin the quest for Mythic Reach. Game on, fellow fans!

Few, finally back here. All tests passed and I'm happy now. Too bad that I couldn't post anything here for a while because you guys seem to have intresting topics here. (My computer was being repaired for 3 weeks) For that time I have taken a little break from mythic to enjoy the Reach multiplayer and now Anniversary. I already completed the Anniversary campaign on heroic and it was amazing (haven't played the original CE). I play the anniversary multiplayer for a while and then get back to Reach mythic. But, I did complete the Anniversary on heroic, and I can say that it propably was hardest Halo campaign for me even on heroic. Of course the first time is the hardest but still I have a feeling that it'll be the hardest legendary one too. And the Anniversary mythic? Uh-oh, can't even imagine how hard it is. All those new skulls and the flood. I wonder how hard combination Boom, grunt funeral, foreign and (what was it, the one that makes you consume twice ammo as you would normally.) I would have already died to those enormous explosions of grunts' bodies so many times if I had boom and grunt funeral on. Also how much of the campaign skulls are found already? I've found only foreign and half of the terminals. Keyes level terminal was quite evil by the way. =P

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RC Master [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tyrant122312 In all seriousness, I really don't see how using Bandana (when used [i]against[/i] the other skulls) is any cheaper than clipping through a wall using a forklift. But then again, that's only my opinion.[/quote] Because one is a precise application of skill and knowledge, and the other is just holding down the trigger? [/quote] It's more like spamming nades then applying the tactical element of 'get the hell out of there' before the ridiculous splash damage kills you. I don't know what happened when I was trying it out, but I think black eye recharged a bit of my health when it was low. Not fully but just a little bit. I'd have to do some controlled testing though to see if it really did happen. Lastly, I reckon I'll have The Pillar of Autumn done later today. I have my last exam for uni in a few hours so when I'm home after that I'll get back into doing that. I almost got to the end on maybe my 10th try and it's easily one of the best missions for people to start out with.

One final note. I know well enough never to call anything impossible to this community. However, I don't want the concept of "Mythic" to become so unbearably difficult that no one outside of our group is willing to try it. In the grand sceme of the Halo community, ours (while still relatively well known) is still fairly small. I don't want us to get to the point where we make it so hard that it crosses the threshold between "fun" and "why?" To me, Halo 3 Mythic is still less challenging than Halo 2 Legendary. I want our challenge to be difficult and challenging, but I don't want it to reach the point where no one wants to do it. For those of you who have been around since our Halo 3 days, you may recall that once we had beaten Mythic to death in every which way, we began setting up small community achievements such as Mythic runs without plasma pistols, or without vehicles, or without the use of human weapons. Particularly with the implementation of our new Mythic Nation site, I say that we can set up challenges like that again for those who wish to take the campaign endeavor a step beyond ordinary Mythic and want to create an even greater challenge for themselves. This way, we can still maintain our standard Mythic procedure and give our folks something more to strive for without completely alienating ourselves from the rest of the Halo community. Thoughts?

Without being able to use covvy weapons- there is certainly not enough ammo on the maps to even consider killing all the enemies without bandanna or skipping half of the level. Nade spam is a slight issue though especially with boom and grunt funeral on.
-
I'm not really seeing how it would be feasible to go through Covenant missions with Foreign, Famine, Eye Patch, and Recession enabled WITHOUT using Bandanna. You can no longer combo-kill your enemies which means it'll take quite a few more rounds to kill an Elite. [Edited on 11.16.2011 7:52 PM PST]

Let me warn you now, Two Betrayals on Mythic, good luck.

The reason I adopted the Mythic concept in Halo 3 was because the campaign was [i]significantly[/i] easier than the previous two games. We needed a challenge. When it came to Reach, we spent most of our time skipping large portions of most of the missions to avoid the atrocity that is the Reach Mythic Elite. I'm not saying it's impossible, but the impression I get is that the assistant of skulls such as Bandana were granted to us to give us less reason to try and skip sections. In all seriousness, I really don't see how using Bandana (when used [i]against[/i] the other skulls) is any cheaper than clipping through a wall using a forklift. But then again, that's only my opinion.

On another topic, in every Halo game, some skulls have little side effects besides the obvious and CEA is no exception. - Enemies flinch less (likely from Mythic) - Elite and Flood melee range is increased by ~ x2(Boom perhaps?) - Infinite nades alongside infinite ammo (Bandanna) - Grenade explosive radius is more along the lines of anywhere from tripled to quintupled. Doubled is really an understatement here as you can die so easily from explosions seemingly nowhere near you. (Boom) - Black Eye seems to only increase shields incrementally instead of one hit > can fully charge. *Needs some more testing* - Lack of auto-aim screws you up way, [i]way[/i], [b][i]way[/i][/b] more than you'd think. It's like awkwardly flinging your cursor around when trying to betray people in multiplayer; missing half your shots and only landing a few. Aside from those, it's the usual.

Boom Skull + Two Betrayals + Wraiths = NOPE
-
WOW, HCEA Mythic will be a joke...the Grunt Funeral + Boom Skull is HAX. Kill one grunt and (sometimes) it'll take out a WHOLE room. I killed one on Assault on the Control Room and heard TWO elites die 10 seconds later after multiple other explosions. Its a domino effect. OH, Bandana gives you infinite nades, too. Even if Stickies are out lobbing frags all day will kill ANYTHING.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AuraSoldier313 Also, interesting yet annoying fact: the Grunt Funeral skull preorder merely unlocks the skull for [i]finding[/i] in the campaign, not straight up unlocking it. I can't find any videos of where it could be either which is a pain.[/quote] what does the grunt funeral skull actually do?

In a little over 8 hours I'll be picking up my copy of CEA and I'm completely intent on getting all my skull hunting done and dusted day one.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] FrankBobJoe Only did new Alexandra laso :([/quote] It's not that hard but there are a few moments where it seems impossible. I did it with all skulls except blind. I'm not putting a blue tac on my screen for a crosshair, like all the others do! lol.. The hardest map was Night Of Solace where you first enter the corvette with the white elites down below.

I tried co-op campaign and it sucked. Connection was terrible every move I made took almost half a second to actually register. On Exodus the teammates I had were total annoyoces because they constantly betrayed the alies turning them on me. We never got a checkpoitn and I didn't gie until the last objective when they died and I died too. Sending us to traxus tower. I then booted a player who betrayed me twice and then left frustrated.
