Marathon 2: Durandal Video walkthrough-ish thingy [COMPLETED]
Well, the old adage goes that a picture is worth a thousand words. So I was thinking about doing some movies of Durandal to help people out. So how much is a movie worth? Recon's mum says hers are worth $19.99 for each vid with a option to cancel at any time. I think I'll make my walk through vids for free...
Alright, I know that Durandal can be a little confusing sometimes, and it's easy to get lost amongst the bright shiny Marathon goodness. So while I was playing today, I took the time to record everything. Typically the vids only show the quickest ways to get through the levels. They are by NO means complete walk-throughs. However, if you happen to get stuck on a certain part, come to this thread and download the chapter you need help with and maybe you'll find what you need.
**WARNING** **WARNING** **WARNING**
The videos you are about to download contain large amounts of WIN, you've been warned!

[b][i][u]SUPER HUGE STUPENDOUS UPDATED!!!
Well as some of you may know that Mythica, the site I was using to host these videos went down a few months ago. So while I was at PAX this past weekend I ran into Louis Wu of Halo.Bungie.Org fame and asked about if he was able to salvage them before Mythica went under. He said he did, and so here they are!!!
All links should work 100% fine now. If you get a problem, feel free to post in the thread and I'll see what's going on. I downloaded the 1st and Last vid and both worked fine so I'm hoping the rest are the same.[/b][/i][/u]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BerserkerBarage [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dead Eye935 Ex Cathedra was a bit of a pain for me. (until I discovered the hidden switch that makes that level sooo much shorter, and easier.) And now I can actually find out how I beat Nuke and Pave, and Curiouser and Curiouser...I have no idea what I did. Also, a question: Are the levels on the 360 M:D the same as the Aleph One version? Because that's what I play. Me no gots XBL.[/quote] As far as I can tell, they are identical. I'm sure Hippieman (from Freeverse) will come in here and correct me if I'm wrong, but from everything I've seen so far between the two versions (A1 and XBLA) they are identical. ~B.B.[/quote] Almost identical. But different in ways you can't tell. Differences: Missing textures added to some levels. A few incorrect textures were fixed on Nuke and Pave. Two of the Juggernaught rooms on Sol were broken up and rebuilt to contain more polygons for monster pathing. Two triangle's were raised as the blue hunter liked getting stuck under them. Two hills were defined on Flight of the Toolitator and 5-D Space. A ball was added to one of the levels (I forget which) that was missing one.

Although it is my sworn oath to hate hippies...thanks for the clarification on this Hippieman. I figured that there were probably some minor differences, but I am far from the expert to be able to spot them. Side note, when is the first weekly Freeverse vs. normies M2:D humpday challenge? I mean, what do you guys have to lose, you can't be worse than Bungie at their own games O.o ~B.B.

Great vids. My attention span is about the length of a microbe so im usually just putting down the controller when something isnt working on the first try, this might elongonate my M2D experience. This is surely a "save thread". [Edited on 08.06.2007 5:53 PM PDT]

Thanks for all the positive feedback from people, I was hoping this would help out. I'm about to upload the last vid of the 1st half of the game (L5C4). I'm trying to get at least two or three vids done a day, so the entire thing should be done by the end of the week. Again, if you have any specific questions about anything, feel free to ask. I'm typically refreshing this forum while I try to zen after getting killed for the 39th time on "If I had a Rocket Launcher..." on Total Carnage solo. "Someone's looking for you. Two syllables...rhymes with 'Psycho'!" ~B.B.
-
Oh thankyou! this indeed helped me out with a very annoying part!
-
ha, I need help on the part right after the last video >.< what am I supposed to do once I get the cover to slide off the big middle collum and shoot a grenade inside to destroy it. Derentdal still tells me to destroy him, and the new room that is opened doesn't have anything inside of it useful. EDIT: nvm... >.> [Edited on 08.06.2007 9:23 PM PDT]

How about the second half? I need help on Kill Your Television.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dirtyShisno 213 How about the second half? I need help on Kill Your Television.[/quote] What in specific? I can answer some questions, but I haven't made the vid yet. I'm going as fast as I can, but I'm taking time out to try to beat Total Carnage solo. ~B.B. *Edit* I can guess what you're having trouble on with "KYTV". There is a switch that needs to be shot or grenaded that switches the water level in a couple areas. I'll see if I can get that one done quickly and post it for you. /**Edit** [Edited on 08.06.2007 11:21 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dirtyShisno 213 kthnx.(I love saying that! :D)[/quote] [url=http://marathon.bungie.org/spoiler/m2/22.shtml]Kill Your Television map[/url] Alright, I'll try to talk you through it real quick. On this level, you need to activate 2 "generators" (what I like to call them). You flip a switch near them to lower the water and then flip a switch to turn on the "generators" that start glowing green. You've done this process the past couple chapters. Alright. when you start out, you need to swim up to the top level, and go to the opposite corner, and swim back down. If you head north you'll come to an area that looks very similar to where you start. There is one corner that has a "dark" panel that opens to an elevator to the top level. Go up there and walk all around. Eventually you'll come to some ammo and a hallway that leads to the outer "shell" of that upper level. If you head north on this outer "shell" you'll wrap around and find the TOZT-7 flamethrower (a personal favorite). Head down the hallway near it and it will lead to your first generator. After activating it, go back to where you found the flamethrower and fall back down into the water. Swim south by southwest and then swim up till you see an area filled up with water but you can see a switch(marked "C2" on that map link) just above the water level. Activate the switch by shooting it or grenading it (DON'T be in the water to activate it) This switch transfers the water to the other area and now you can access a health spot, oxygen spot and the way to the 2nd generator (marked "C1" on that map link). Activate the 2nd "generator" and find the terminal that is basically located under water between the 3 areas. Hope that helps until I can get the vid up. ~B.B.

Holy crap, I got so frustrated on the first level. I didn't know you could open parts of the walls.

i have a question canyou show me all of the terminals and where they are if anyine knows how to get hats off or vid master can you walk me threw it in co op with me ?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Moose427 Holy crap, I got so frustrated on the first level. I didn't know you could open parts of the walls.[/quote] Yeah, and typically the walls are colored slightly darker than the others around it. If you can't seem to find your way, normally I look at the map and see if I can find anything that looks like it "connects". Usually shows where there might be a hidden doorway. I'm updated to 6.2 on Blake. I'll try to get one or two more up later today. Thanks to whichever mod stickied this for me. ~B.B.

tHIS WILL DEFENENTLY COME IN HANDY. Nice 1 man.

I can proudly say I beat the game, your walkthrough helped me a lot with some very confusing parts. Thank you!

There is also a detailed, level by level walkthrough up at GameFAQs now, for those who need help and have slower connections or are further along than the video walkthrough.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] eman311 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BerserkerBarage [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] eman311 Thank god..........you're the best[/quote] If you have a specific question, just pull up your map and tell me the name of Chapter you're on. The name is at the top of the map BTW. I have all the footage here on my computer, I just haven't had a chance to make the vid files and upload them yet. I should be able to answer any questions even if there isn't a vid already for it. ~B.B.[/quote] I was stuck on Level 5 (come and take your medicine) but your vid solved that problem. I just know i'll get stuck again later so this thread will be HUGE. i understand some people saying finishing it on your own is better, but i just hate walking around a level pointlessly when i know im missing the obvious.[/quote] I was in the same place as you. Come And Take Your Medicine had me searching for quite awhile. I'll get stuck somewhere else in the future, and I'll come back here to get some helpful info. Thanks for posting this.

Hippieman is from Freeverse!?!?!? O.o
-
Well, I played Co-op with some guys last night and we went through the whole game within 2 hours... It was 4 of us though...
-
This is great for anyone that is stuck. However, I was looking for videos of finding all the terminals. Since you do not do that and I have already beat the game I will not be needing this. Great job though. It is really awesome you did this.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Top_Gun_2021 way to ruin the game for people >->[/quote] How the hell is this ruining the game? He's not giving spoilers, he's giving a walkthrough. It's the same as saying Halo 3 leaks are ruining Halo 3. A One One Se7en comic summed the logical viewpoint on the matter nicely. I can't remember it verbatim, but more or less, "Then again, you could choose [i]not[/i] to search for hours for leaked videos, and watch them over and over again". Now I know this may sound like a digression, but it actually leads me to my original point: Does this ruin the game? No. You can choose [i]not[/i] to watch walkthroughs. 'Nuff said.

So, that makes 4 people that didn't think he was kidding and 1 person who thinks he was. I'm starting to wonder who the dense one is on this subject.... In other fun related news, I'll probably have "Blake" finished up tonight. So that leaves 2 levels and them I'm done. Well, at least with these sets of vids. As another person said earlier, these walkthroughs definitely don't show all pertinent panels, something that if you want to get the "hats off" achievement won't necessarily help out. I'm considering doing another set of vids that show the locations of the terminals, but that really depends on a lot of other variables. ~B.B.

Ah! Achievement details! You, sir, are a god.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mattbluhalofan Ah! Achievement details! You, sir, are a god.[/quote] First person to notice the update, you get an e-cookie! Yeah, if I can ever get my 360 back from my girlfriend who has discovered the wonderful world of Guitar Hero 2, I'll see if I can make some vids of the hidden terminals, it might help out people going for "hats off". ~B.B.
