Greetings, Fellow Halo Fans!
It’s that time of year again, and you know what that means… Playing the campaign on Legendary Difficulty with ALL SKULLS ON and no deaths or saves!
Okay, seriously, can we get an actual Mythic where it’s all built into the game, even if it’s only for the few and the proud? PLEASE 
I’m using this thread as a starting point for all things to come, expect, and speculate for Halo 5 mythic. If you are unfamiliar with this form of difficulty of the campaign which was first established back in Halo 3, please check out my Halo walkthroughs at www.mythictyrant.com or halo.bungie.org, but to give you a brief synopsis, Mythic is defined as playing each individual mission on Legendary with all skulls on without saving or dying. You heard it right. All the way through from start to finish. To help better explain, I’ve created a little intro video on what Mythic is and how it works. You can find it here. The actual difficult of the challenge in terms of weapons and enemies has differed from game to game, but make no mistake… Team Mythic will have it conquered, and how to do it will be posted right here in this thread so that anyone who wants to experience the glory always has a place to go
In the words of GLADoS, “It’s been a long time.” And I can’t wait to take this challenge head on and share it with all of you in hopes of giving you a Halo experience that will last a lifetime
Best Regards,
The Tyrant
I am a filthy casual and thus I shall not do thy challenge of thy mythic… No…100 gamerscore, stop taunting me. But ya they need to have it built in. I’m pretty sure they had a playlist for it in the mcc.
Aha, found it!! Can’t wait for the Mythic party to start. Welcome back by the way.
Looking forward to your videos, tyrant. I love those cool tricks you show us.
Loved your videos. Can’t wait for halo 5 campaign. Thank you!!!
Aww yeah, he’s back! Great to see you back on the forums Tyrant and look forward to seeing your Halo 5 vids. Hope you’re doing well!

Gets my vote. Still need to work up the guts for LASO, but Mythic recognition would be awesome
Good to see you back Tyrant.
How would that work? If you die you just revert to the intro of the campaign?

Not the entire campaign. One must complete each mission with all skulls on and no deaths or saves (single segment). If you die in a mission you must restart that mission not the entire campaign. Complete all the missions with proof (stats and recorded video) and you will be recognized as a Mythic Conquerer of Halo 5 . I am sure Tyrant will post the detailed requirements for proof when Halo 5 comes out. Regardless, stay tuned to this thread for tips, tricks, strategy, and videos from those of us on this Mythic quest. If the past is any indication you will see walk thru videos for both legendary and Mythic.
it would be cool if there was a halo 5 mythic dificalty after legendary.
Honestly, not that many people have probably even done LASO. Mythic is on another whole level. Lots of people don’t even know what LASO means for them putting an incentive other than just an achievement would encourage more people to try the challenge. Helioskrill is bringing more people to do Halo 2 legendary…but I found out they could use the scarab gun which defeats the purpose. However I do want a LASO reward for example skull armor or just a skull helmet to represent something of significance. Not only would this reward people for doing LASO, it would encourage them even try it for the rest of the population.
The thing is I don’t think Mythic would be possible solo in Halo 5, if the AI squad counts as deaths then we’d have to have 4 humans all the time.
Thanks for the SLASO vids, I used some of them when we spent more than 15 minutes in one area.
Im mostly curious how squad mated will effect laso, and vice versa
Hmm… I might need to get an Xbox One…

You know what I think?
I think this time around we should do a joint Mythic Guide. Even if the missions I post are done solo by me, I want my besties helping me with the commentary and tips. After that, we should do a co-op guide with both of us posting our perspectives on each of our sites. What do you think?
Main post has been updated. We’re getting closer!
Mmh… Im not that good to even complete a single laso level. If it will become an effective difficulty (wich I really hope not) I dont want them to give us achievements related to it, Im having a real hard time trying to beat everything MCC…

I appreciate the guides but i prefer doing mythic solo without helps true test of wits.

The thought of Halo 2 Mythic still gives me nightmares…
SKULLS
Halo 5: Guardians will have a total of 13 skulls which are the same ones from Halo 4.
The past few Halo titles have opted out of having findable skulls but it seems 343 Industries is going back to the tradition in Halo 3 by having us find them before we can use them again.
I am excited to see skull collecting return in the Halo 5: Guardians campaign!!
Here’s a full list of all the Halo 5 Skulls
Iron Skull - Solo restart mission on death
Black Eye Skull - Shields don’t recharge unless you melee an enemy
Tough Luck Skull - Enemies always go berserk, always dive out of the way, never flee
Catch Skull - Enemies are grenade happy
Fog Skull - Motion sensor is disabled
Famine Skull - Weapons drop much less ammo
Thunderstorm Skull - Major upgrade to the capabilities of enemies
IWHBYD Skull - Rare combat dialogue becomes more common
Grunt Birthday Party Skull - Headshot a grunt - HAPPY BOOM TIME!
Cowbell****Skull - Acceleration from explosions increased
Blind Skull - The HUD and the first person arms and weapon are hidden
Mythic Skull - Enemies have increased health
Tilt Skull - Enemy resistances and weaknesses are increased
NUMBER OF MISSIONS
Microsoft has published a new infographic that includes some key statistics for Halo 5.
Among other things, it reveals that Halo 5’s 15-mission campaign should take you about 8-12 hours to complete.
