I use a very small piece of blu-tack. Tapered at one end. The pointy end is for zoomed in shots, the main body of it lines me up for unzoomed shots (your reticle actually shifts up a few pixels when zoomed in). Might also want one for lining up your vehicle fire.
Gotta give you major props man, what takes you 18 min on LASO takes me a damn day to complete on normal legendary. And I'm really good at the Halo games. The part with the damn Liche grenade jump jetpack part and the part where you glitch through the rocks into the building always pisses me off. By the time I finish this campaign on Legendary Ill never want to play these missions again.
i'll have a go at that. hopefully it's not damaged that would be annoying. i'll try to save it to the harddrive. thanks very much, and great videos, watching through most of your laso runs at the moment ;)
If you can't make the upper ledge, you can sprint jump, then JP to the lower ledge (the rocky part), then JP up to the platform, but you will have to run past a Knight (which usually doesn't kill you).
You can hide pretty handily behind one of the pillars that has a turret spawn on it. Once they start mobbing you, there is a box-launch you can do, but that's really hard to get right.
Um, LASO Weekly Challenges (if that's what you're talking about), DEFINITELY required the Mythic skull in Halo: Reach. All but the 1st one allow you to leave off blind however (because it's a bad skull). For H4, if you want the Emblem, it's ALL skulls.
Lol so many people hatin on you cuz they are idiots. I had these same problems but figured it out before raging like some dumb person. This video is awesome because you talk, when I did it the video I originally watched had no sound so I had no idea about the triggers. You do a great job at saying WHY you do things. But alas, no one listens anymore...
I've seen it but there's not really anything weird about it. Remember, the Infinity is HUGE, its REALLY far away and so is the covenant cruiser, so it just looks small because of the distance.
Seriously no one else has seen the weird tiny covenant cruiser at the end of this level? It is up near the Infinity and is just floating there. You can even see it in the end of this video. Its @ 18:23
Also i think new archive codes are in the new sp ops vid, when halsey accesses infinitys computer the oni symbol appears followed by some numbers. Posted this thought on waypoint last night, let's hope the codebreakers can come up with something.
If you just sprint, through the messed-up rock, and jump as soon as you see the other side, you just have to pulse the jet pack, until you reach the lower level. Jump up, from there, and you're done.
Never mind, it kept doing it so I had to keep restarting the level until it glitched right, think I may have broken my hand out of rage at that offensive jump jet-pack bit at the end though.
Trying to catch up with making videos for the stuff I've already done right now! But you can expect I'll try and throw down a deathless legendary speed run on all the levels at some point.
Hey, just when I was trying this, I noticed another glitch that can make this speed run even faster. At around 8:30 where you are standing, there is an invisible wall on your left. If you keep trying to go over that thing, the thing you are suppose to destroy (gravity well?) will automatically explode. Then you just wait a few seconds and then jump jetpack to the lich. This is what happened to me. Lucky find :) And yes, I didn't shoot that thing. Not even once.
today was not my day to try Reclaimer on Legendary (yes i'm still doing it, was in matchmaking the whole time). the Lich kept glitching on me. first it wouldn't come down low enough, so I restart the mission and it did it again. so I try this skip and the damn core is invulnerable. will try again tomorrow; I hope that update today didn't "fix" the Lich sequence.
i by no means intend to be rude in any way but last time i attempted the glitch in shutdown and there was a kill boundary and i was epicly trying to escape and died. thanks!
I make a reticle on my screen. I'm philosophically opposed to taking away a player's reticle in the game. I can still aim without the reticle - it's just practice - but I prefer to fight the enemies rather than my own controls.
Just wanted to drop a message to say thanks for the mention in the description. Really appreciate it. Are you working on any other levels with speed runs?
Took me 11:00 minutes i was trying to go pacifist but i got 2 kills by accident with a grenade and John Parkes, it still works i used that to avoid the battle.
Not sure if you've gotten around to doing a no shot run of this, but it looks like someone has with some pretty good tricks; check out Nak3dHalo's video: "Halo 4 - Reclaimer LASO Pacifist (No Kills)"
Same here. I can make it through all of the jetpack mountain climbing, but once I pass through the rock with the messed up collision model, I can't figure out how to avoid either getting trapped under the geometry of the next section or falling to my death beneath the level. :(
Your disc is damaged. Try cleaning it or failing that, resurfaced or even replaced. I'm assuming you haven't installed your Disc1 on the harddrive - that can help against this sort of thing.
I was finally able to do the lich this morning. I jumped on it from another angle and it blew up. I think this level is so glitched that things like this happen randomly.
OK, I've got as far as the lich on solo legendary but when I get to the lich it randomly drops through the world! It reappears when I destroy the forerunner gun but I can't destroy the core for some reason. What's going on?!
So I forgot laso, I remember doing it in reach and at the moment I don't have Xbox, but is there a skull that restarts the entire level when you die? And if you're in co-op doesn't it go to the last checkpoint if one person dies
See, I like to think that with missions that are really "broken" like this it's the people designing the mission basically saying, "we know this mission is going to be really hard to do legit so lets make it easy to skip everything!"
Guys, I tired to do this mission yesterday, but for some reason I couldn't. It would load up to around 87% then restart, and after failing 1-2 times would say "player failed to load game. may not have downloadable content". all the other missions except reclaimer worked fine, and I have all the dlc, but I don't think that should make a difference. I even went back and did the end of infinity, but rather than going to the next mission it just kicked me to the main menu. Any help please?
Brilliant walkthrough, great for those who want to run through the campaign mission solo to get the weekly challlenge
I use a very small piece of blu-tack. Tapered at one end. The pointy end is for zoomed in shots, the main body of it lines me up for unzoomed shots (your reticle actually shifts up a few pixels when zoomed in). Might also want one for lining up your vehicle fire.
Dude you are so amazing. As well the guys who found the short cuts are brilliant saved me a lot of complain and talking to the screen. Two thumbs up
I love your passion for Halo Campaigns. Please keep making videos like this.
Great timing with this one. Will make getting the weekly challenge that much easier.
You are freaking amazing. I'm nowhere near good enough to attempt LASO, but I will definitely try to use these methods to help me on solo legendary :)
RC Master you are my hero thank you for these helpful laso guides!
Bro this is bringing me back
Awesome! Thanks! I eventually managed to make it through, but I really doubt I could do it again. Definitely going to have to watch that one!
My friend and i did laso, we did it before we even knew about skips so we shot and fought our way through every single level on Mythic difficulty.
Nice man, your videos are awesome and pretty damn helpful. I've been checking up on your vids since that "Speed Reader" guide.
Gotta give you major props man, what takes you 18 min on LASO takes me a damn day to complete on normal legendary. And I'm really good at the Halo games. The part with the damn Liche grenade jump jetpack part and the part where you glitch through the rocks into the building always pisses me off. By the time I finish this campaign on Legendary Ill never want to play these missions again.
My statement still stands
i'll have a go at that. hopefully it's not damaged that would be annoying. i'll try to save it to the harddrive. thanks very much, and great videos, watching through most of your laso runs at the moment ;)
Hey RC i just want to say that you did a very excellent good job. I am on Auras friends list on xbox. You, Aura, and Tyrant are the gods of Campaign.
This is awesome! I can't wait to use these myself.
awesome dude! just completed this for the weekly challenge only needed tilt tough luck thunderstorm and mythic on so was a little easier.
If you can't make the upper ledge, you can sprint jump, then JP to the lower ledge (the rocky part), then JP up to the platform, but you will have to run past a Knight (which usually doesn't kill you).
Used this today thanks! I just subscribed looking forward to all missions!!
Well done, sir. You are for real!
the lich kept glitching for me and i couldnt nail the grenade jump, thank god for this new tactic
the part where you jet pack onto the ledge after you walk through the rock at 13:00 is like the bane of my existence right now
You can hide pretty handily behind one of the pillars that has a turret spawn on it. Once they start mobbing you, there is a box-launch you can do, but that's really hard to get right.
Um, LASO Weekly Challenges (if that's what you're talking about), DEFINITELY required the Mythic skull in Halo: Reach. All but the 1st one allow you to leave off blind however (because it's a bad skull).
For H4, if you want the Emblem, it's ALL skulls.
For the ones who think 'save and quit' still means they did it LASO. Co-op LASO allows deaths too.
It'll be a while since that is one I haven't practised a lot. But hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
Target the Beam Cannon long before you get close to the Lich. It has a tendancy to fall through the map and become invincible.
Nice again ;) just one more reason now I want halo 4 :( and btw thank
Only just realised this was Mythic. At first i thought it was LASO with Blind just cause you were showing off :3
Yes. That skull is called Iron.
Lol so many people hatin on you cuz they are idiots. I had these same problems but figured it out before raging like some dumb person. This video is awesome because you talk, when I did it the video I originally watched had no sound so I had no idea about the triggers. You do a great job at saying WHY you do things.

I've seen it but there's not really anything weird about it. Remember, the Infinity is HUGE, its REALLY far away and so is the covenant cruiser, so it just looks small because of the distance.
`yeah, I figure.
with out your guides I wouldn't be able to do any of these missions for shit.
thanks a lot, subscribed for life
Seriously no one else has seen the weird tiny covenant cruiser at the end of this level? It is up near the Infinity and is just floating there. You can even see it in the end of this video. Its @ 18:23
i miss u rc master

Legendary All Skulls On.
Not yet. I'm working on it.
Never mind, it kept doing it so I had to keep restarting the level until it glitched right, think I may have broken my hand out of rage at that offensive jump jet-pack bit at the end though.
What a badass.
I actually laughed out loud once you showed just how much could be skipped.
Trying to catch up with making videos for the stuff I've already done right now! But you can expect I'll try and throw down a deathless legendary speed run on all the levels at some point.
This happened to me over and over again yesterday...
i blame you for getting me 40,000 EXP and 90 gamer score. thankyou so very much
You jetpack straight ahead. You'll come out of the darkness in time to be able to take a pit stop at the horizontal beams.
Go to Waypoint, check that your stats for each mission show a game where you completed the mission with all skulls on.
Hey, just when I was trying this, I noticed another glitch that can make this speed run even faster. At around 8:30 where you are standing, there is an invisible wall on your left.

will try again tomorrow; I hope that update today didn't "fix" the Lich sequence.
Sometime after that. :)
Again, I'm gonna try and do it as quick as I can, but they're hard!
RC you are the master
Just finished it thanks
@07:22 LULZ
I love you RC.
You might have missed a trigger. Go back to the beginning of the trench / reload your checkpoint.
Aaaaarrrggghhh!!! My head hurts.
Gutentag! Glad it helped :D
There are a couple of big skips on both. I need to test them out :)
i by no means intend to be rude in any way but last time i attempted the glitch in shutdown and there was a kill boundary and i was epicly trying to escape and died. thanks!
I make a reticle on my screen. I'm philosophically opposed to taking away a player's reticle in the game.

When I do the sniper alley skip and I jet pack over that big gap it always says return to battlefield, even though I got the checkpoint
You need to target the thing before you jump to the lich, its working, done it for 1 hour ago! SUB!
This is still much faster than anything I could do.
I really don't know man. Getting forced out of the Ghost while trying to cross the streams of death was frustrating too.
You can save and quit as many times as you like.
Took me 11:00 minutes i was trying to go pacifist but i got 2 kills by accident with a grenade and John Parkes, it still works i used that to avoid the battle.
When the Liche comes in I can't destroy the core?!
Have a guess.
I have a rock missing when you jump off the big cliff onto the gray plateau thing. the rock you go through to enter Sniper Alley is gone.
Thank you so much i did it i got it and i did it alone
Legendary All Skulls On (LASO)
I am ordering you... TO SURRENDER THAT A.I!!
Not sure if you've gotten around to doing a no shot run of this, but it looks like someone has with some pretty good tricks; check out Nak3dHalo's video: "Halo 4 - Reclaimer LASO Pacifist (No Kills)"
Dead marine under the mammoth at the start lmfao. He was waitin for you and they just ran him over
lol man great work
Thanks, but I've already seen the video he got that route from.
Same here. I can make it through all of the jetpack mountain climbing, but once I pass through the rock with the messed up collision model, I can't figure out how to avoid either getting trapped under the geometry of the next section or falling to my death beneath the level. :(
Go to my main channel, /rcvgs and find the legendary run for this mission. This video was never meant to be a guide.
The last rock on Sniper alley(just before you see the forerunner room) is not there. I can't seem to find it once i jump down from the higher rock.
Can you please make a guide dedicated on the jumping in the Sniper Ally only? it's just confusing
Exactly.
Blind Skull. Look it up.
1:25 lol poor marine!
Not in coop... and you can save and quit in solo and resume. I've seen people edit together runs like that - cutting out the deaths.
Your disc is damaged. Try cleaning it or failing that, resurfaced or even replaced.
I'm assuming you haven't installed your Disc1 on the harddrive - that can help against this sort of thing.
The whole section of cliff is now gone......
No, unfortunately not. Only the Mass Driver on the Mammoth works.
Doesn't matter it's fixed it's self!
i just beat them both on solo legendary, pretty simple, just go slowly and stay behind cover
I was finally able to do the lich this morning. I jumped on it from another angle and it blew up. I think this level is so glitched that things like this happen randomly.
OK, I've got as far as the lich on solo legendary but when I get to the lich it randomly drops through the world! It reappears when I destroy the forerunner gun but I can't destroy the core for some reason. What's going on?!
Anyway, the Shutdown glitch worked for me when I did it last.
You have to get a checkpoint first then the rock ledge will spawn.
So I forgot laso, I remember doing it in reach and at the moment I don't have Xbox, but is there a skull that restarts the entire level when you die? And if you're in co-op doesn't it go to the last checkpoint if one person dies
See, I like to think that with missions that are really "broken" like this it's the people designing the mission basically saying, "we know this mission is going to be really hard to do legit so lets make it easy to skip everything!"
having trouble with the sniper alley skip
Yes, but you are capable to reach the place, there's a zone that alows you to pass without the timer.
How do u do the wall glitch I've been able to get through the wall but haven't been able to get on the platform could someone tell me what to do
i just found a kill barrier when trying to get through the rock
can you make midnight its the last mission i need and one of the hardest
Guys, I tired to do this mission yesterday, but for some reason I couldn't. It would load up to around 87% then restart, and after failing 1-2 times would say "player failed to load game. may not have downloadable content". all the other missions except reclaimer worked fine, and I have all the dlc, but I don't think that should make a difference.
