How many skulls can you handle?

So, I’m wondering how many skulls you all have been able to handle while completing the entire campaign, and if so how many. In between down time and lulls of server population at night I try to test my abilities beyond mere legendary gameplay in campaign mode. Right now, I’m trying to get through it with 9 skulls turned on, 8 of which altering the difficulty of gameplay. This is very challenging as I’m sure you’re well aware. The skulls are:

Tough Luck
Catch
Cloud
Famine
Thunderstorm
Tilt
Mythic
Cowbell
IWHBYD

How do you compare? How far have you gotten and how long has it taken you? Has anyone been able to complete the campaign from start to finish with all skulls turned on?

Please, describe your frustrations in vivid detail if need be!

Apologies for the double post, this may be more appropriate in the Halo 4 forum as it was meant.

Mod note: Moved to the Halo 4 forum! And try to avoid double-posting, next time. Plzkthxbai! :slight_smile:

Only one start to finish solo with them all on Halo 2. Without dying took me a long time to master how to do it… if I knew I was going to be able to do I would of recorded myself xD

I’d love to attempt a LASO run, but I can only handle it a mission at a time. Otherwise it’s just too frustrating!

if you did a Laso run on halo 2 you are a god.

IWHBYD, Grunt Birthday, & Cowbell on Normal is what I last played … hahaha!
But for a challenge that’s not too annoying: Mythic, Tilt, Famine, Tough Luck on Heroic. That’s do-able without me wanting to pull my hair out. I tried a LASO on ODST, but the health pack issue was a bit much … I should try it on Halo 4.

Legendary alone in Halo 2 is a PITA. I don’t even want to think about that LASO.

^^^^^

i tried legendary a few times and when i poked my head around a corner to be one shot over and over i called it a day lol. on laso? id go insane.

Took about a day of nonstop playing, but the emblem says it all.

I’d really, really like to see someone actually beat Halo 2 on Mythic…

Did LASO, never again lol.

'EY MAAN THEY CALL ME THE SKELETON! CUZ I ALWAYS GOT THEM SKULLS ON AND I STILL BE SERVIN MAAN CUZ I DA SKELETON YA FEEL ME

I’ve done LASO.

> Did LASO, never again lol.

Pretty much this.

Pardon my ignorance, but what’s LASO? I’ve played Halo since the first and I’ve never heard that acronym before.

Im currently up to three.

Legendary All Skulls On.

All of them. I beat the Campaign SLASO and I’ve got the emblem to prove it.

Mind you, I’m never doing it again. I did it 2-4 missions at a time in my LASO run. Once I got through Reclaimer and Shutdown (the easiest missions on LASO) I couldn’t help but think “I’m almost there, just two more”; so I went all the way.

Composer and Infinity were tedious, but Composer was much easier than I thought it would be. Midnight was okay up until the 3rd tower at the end, where you have to grenade jump to the top and assassinate 7 Knights in a row, including a Commander. That part was brutal.

When Halo 2 Anniversary comes out, and I can put on all the Skulls to do LASO, I’ll do it. And I’ll defeat it. One day, mind you… One day…

But doing it in Halo 2, where you have to play all the missions on Legendary all the way to part where you grab the Skulls, and then beat the Campaign on LASO, all while never turning off your Xbox? Yeah, no, screw that.

Looks like I’m out to get my emblem! Haha

Hold on there, dude; watch Tyrant’s Mythic guides on YouTube first. That’s what I did; with his tips and tricks, LASO goes from impossible to doable. Trust me.
