> Make sure you complete a mission before an update rolls around. If you don’t, your progress in the mission will get reset, meaning you will have to start it over. I had Two Betrayals resetted because of that. Also make sure you select the individual LASO playlist under each game. Otherwise you won’t get the achievement. If you do this on Co-op, make sure you and your partner start the first two missions solo, i.e The Heretic and The Armory, to ensure you both get the achievement. Those do not support co-op apparently. Keep that in mind for Reach as well.

> I will only add that you will need A LOT of patience. And I mean it. LASO is not something the average joe can take on and chill, no no. Good luck with H2, I hope you will succeed. I gave up halfway through Cairo Station. I simply did not have the patience to drag Johnson around. I get its supposed to be an insane challenge but I honestly hate having to rely on the AI this much.

> Also, CE is not that bad, I think it was quite fun for the most part, but let me tell you that T&R was an absolute hell. After you do H2, you might wanna do CE.
thank you for telling me that I didn’t know about the playlist and for cairo station also I can feel your pain for it

I did that and helped a lot with my accuracy thank you

> I’m planning on doing a halo 2 laso because I want to complete every achievement in the game before halo infinite launches so might as well get the hardest out of the way first so any tips or tricks? guides? anything I should know before I start on this hellish journey
Even if you plan on doing it with a guide you’re still gonna go through one of the most mentally deteriorating things known to man.

Also, you know the save and quit trick right? It should be common knowledge, but I’ll put it here just in case. Every time you die, you are supposed to restart the mission due to the Iron skull. You can get around that by saving and quitting after dying. That way you will restart at your last checkpoint instead. I know its a hassle, but its still better than having to restart over.
To me the Iron skull is the worst skull they could ever conceive. On its own it isn’t a problem, but it becomes intolerable when combined with all the others. Its literally the only skull that kept me away from trying LASO for a long time. So, do not feel like you are cheesing it by saving and quitting, I guarantee you that 99% of us did it that way anyway. Be prepared to see a lot of loading screens.
If you save and quit fast enough when you die you won’t have to restart the whole mission. Probably the most important thing. (assuming you’re playing solo)

At least you do not have to drag Johnson around like in Cairo. That alone was so mentally exhausting to me my brain committed death. I wish we could have Envy on as well. Would save a lot of trouble.

Yeah I quit Cairo like 2 times before I actually got it done lol. Johnson was making me pull my hair out at the space parts

First time my buddy and I got to the space section Johnson fell off it was funny but not funny at the same time. It took about 4 hours for us to do cairo. As annoying as cairo was that was nothing compared to gravemind. Gravemind was around 7 hours. If you can LASO gravemind, you can LASO any mission. The whole H2 playlist took us about 25 hours literally almost half of that was those two missions.

Halo Completionist on Youtube has great tips and tricks for completeting all the LASO campaigns.
A few I can suggest right off the bat are:
Use some tape as a crosshair - Look at your shadow to see what gun you are holding - You can melee certain objects to regain health and get an overshield in Halo 2 - Some maps you are able to climb outside the map to skip large portions of enemies - outskirts comes to mind. - You can save and quit just as you die to negate the Iron Skull effect and return to your last checkpoint rather than starting the entire mission again - Keep to it. It can get really disheartening dying 200 times on the same bit but eventually you will get through it.
The crosshair tape is such a small but huge deal. Also just be prepared to take month to through a mission… Sometimes (most of the time with H2) it’s like that.
Also, aside from the already mentioned frustrations of H2 LASO, namely Gravemind & Cairo Station, I honestly feel that CE LASO is more difficult if for no other reason than no Covenant weapons(the Foreign skull) & every shot actually taking 2 from the magazine(the Recession skull). Couple that with Boom, Grunt Funeral, & Iron…yeah, CE LASO is so much worse in my opinion.

> I’ve never even contemplated doing a laso run, is it even doable for someone like me who’s best achievement is regular halo 2 on legendary?
I’m a person who usually never touches legendary and i’m doing ok so i think you can do it to
