MrTallPants s yup
Luke the notable could you do the best Cortana or the best Guilty Spark
5 year old me playing library was the scariest thing ever
From Halo 1?
I was playing it when I was 10. Bruh even Guilty Spark was scarier.
My step brother told me the flood was real. I was 6.
Try Halo 3 Cortana legendary mode
Init I was 4 playing 343 guilty spark and it gave me nightmares for months
It was pretty easy
The problem was that I was scared shitless of the flood
Unknown Enemy
I was Six at the time
this fear only made my will to complete this mission 10 times greater.
I was 10 when I beat this mission it was easy on legendary I don’t know what you guys are talking about
Ironmike 2022 fr
Yep, The Covenant is way harder.
Halo 3 was my first Halo game.
My 13 year old mind and body were not ready for the missions Floodgate and Cortana ;(
Floodgate is stupidly easy tho.
It's the previous mission in reverse but with elite allies that spawn with energy swords you can take to one shot flood, flamethrower can delete hordes of flood and the inside sections have lots of upper platforms you can use to completely skip most of the enemies
Achillez then imagine me at 8 years old XD
Achillez my 7 year old mind wasn't read now I'm 16 , I'm a guy by the way
Yeah, 7 year old me couldn't handle it. Didn't complete Halo 3 till I was about 12.
Cortana was easy. It’s was Arby’s flamethrower that killed me. Oh, and yes, I was on legendary
Drinking game: take a shot every time he reminds you that the Flood want to kill you. Hardmode: take an additional shot every time he says you can die fairly quickly.
If you take a shot every time he says mission, cortana, hard or high charity, you'll be pretty dead from alcohol poisoning in like 2 minutes.
Take a shot whenever he says a single word
Every time he mentions flood, the difficulty of the mission, or says the word “cortana” take 3 shots.
Hospital in a minute
And one more shot whenever he says "Cortana is one of the hardest missions in all of halo"
The sure-fire method for getting through any tough halo mission is as follows:
1) Play on Co-op
2) Don't turn on Iron skull
3) Have one person hide in a corner
4) Have one person run out and kill as many enemies as possible until they die
5) Respawn person
6) Repeat steps 3-5 until section is complete
7) Move onto next section
ardenthebibliophile unless you’re playing halo 2
I've done this in every halo from 1 through 5 if I get stuck
ardenthebibliophile This isn't possible in H2.
My friends and I call this tactic "Combat Demon"
oh but it is possible good sir
The spiker flood unnerves the absolute crap out of me, even 10 years later...
True.
10 years... Wow
2022 Liam Hartrey Lol I thought I was the only one that called them something vagina related.
I called them Vag traps.
What makes them even creepier is that they're shooting sharpened bones at you
*spiked shooting at you sound*
"The most flood you'll see in any Halo level"
*laughs in The Library*
Lore wise, it's fucking crazy to think the master chief could have possibly done this without dying, really. It would make for amazing blur cinematic movie.
This comment has to get to 117 likes it's so close I just made it 112
Fr I'm not sure it's possible lore wise
@@FakeJake5843 The thing is we are trying to play as master chief surviving all of this
I wouldn't say Cortana's the hardest Halo mission ever made, but it definitely gets to you psychologically. I never feel safe no matter where I am in that god awful place, and the flood are pretty much endless, as you said. Not to mention I've gotten lost numerous times because the exits or entrances blend in with the map.
GhettoSpiders he never said it was the hardest
it's like a hedge maze in there.
Honestly even you stay back to kill all the flood. You can. Bungie placed tons of boxes with new plasma rifles on them and it’s more than enough to kill everything and then some.
This is more of a speedrun advice video, despite his title.
Yeah plasma rifle rapes the flood especially with dual wielding
No, some parts of the level spawn infinite flood.
I was 7 when a got this game, my first FPS game btw, I was fine with this mission and i returned to it recently and got through it easily though. My strategy was to stab everything because the energy sword one shots all the flood
Cortana is only hard if you're not paying attention
Halo Infinite needs a terrifying flood mission. Like horror movie on steroids, dead space style.
The flood need to be way more scary
Or how about coming up with something new?
Are we going to be fighting flood in another 20 years.
there wasnt any flood lmao
Take a shot every time he says flood
Nathan Bergman ikr
Chubby Ninja take a shot every time he says hardest mission in halo 3
Chubby Ninja Take a shot every time he says High Charity and be comfortably buzzed
Chubby Ninja take a shot every time he talks
@@iceycoolman3320 that's just a death sentence
It was hard for me, because I would always get lost
if i had a dime everytime i got lost.
Optimus prime YES thank you! Someone that also gets lost in this mission
It's so annoying with the ranged spider things.
If you get lost on this u get lost in halo CE
In halo 6 we need a super difficult flood mission and a mission where you attacking the covenant and landing on a halo ring/ark
No Chromie Homie
And a mission were you kill Locke and Palmer.
@@Ropewatch Playing the Arbiter
Bringing playable elites back and have halo reach like customizations and bring back armor you can earn or unlock instead of pay and req packs have more chance that you will find armor in them.
My biggest achievement in life is beating this mission on legendary and not dying once
My problem with this mission was getting lost because the map was SO damn big!
Well I mean,the same can be said for pretty much any other halo mission
@@umairashraf5167 No it can't clown
@@rodericksutton2983sheesh buddy,calm down,all I meant to say that they were big but that's not a bad thing
This mission is easy as long as you duel wield the plasma rifle. Seriously the plasma weapons are super effective against the flood. They give you more than enough plasma rifles to do so, so long as you know where they spawn.
DayKnightDragon I've never heard anyone else mention that about the Plasma Rifles. That's always my favorite weapon combo to fight the Flood with.
Reclaimer2525 it's shame, plasma rifles shine against the flood especially on this level. It has the best RoF, damage, and range for this mission. It hurts me to see people try to use ranged weapons against the flood.
DayKnightDragon And it's also kind of surprising that so few people do it, considering how many there at in this mission. Glad to see we're on the same page.
Ok i was gonna say that but you already did, and then as my secondary i use an energy sword for the big boys.
purplepantsman Good choice.
I must say, I HATED THIS MISSION
SAME
Not Ornstein same
@@JJ-ke2df To you, but some of us aren't super good. Or even normally good.
I hated doing this mission as well
Fun fact: this was actually suppose to be the second half of floodgate, that is why the corridors look more like Truth and Reconciliation's corridors and also why High Charity has randomly gained some reactors.
Major Chief is that why theres virtually no combat during the Infinite Devil Machine segment of Floodgate? To pace out the game differently & have 3 flood missions instead of 2?
Hey! I mentioned a question of "What was the most difficult mission on legendary in Halo 3" on one of his latest live streams, and Luke replied saying it was absolutely the mission Cortana. And now he made a video regarding the same topic! :D
I thought Cortana on legendary was far easier than some other missions in Halo 3. The hardest missions were the ones that had vehicles in them. The Ark on legendary was the hardest of them all, because the vast majority of the game involved tons and tons of vehicles. The part where you reached the scarab and had to fight all those choppers and ghosts and wraiths made me want to tear my hair out. Cortana on the other hand, was kind of relaxing and fun, even on legendary (except for the ranged flood).
TheHuntyGuy really? I find the ones with jackal snipers the hardest/most frustrating.
Same here. Though the hive/tall room pissed me off.
TheHuntyGuy Yeah, I completely agree.
What?! I love the Ark! When it came to those vehicle sections I absolutely kicked ass. Even on legendary. Those spiky flood vaginas from cortana deserve to be hated.
The scarab section is pretty easy mate. First tower is way harder. Just fly in circles around the scarabs, shooting their legs. When they get damaged, shoot away the rear playing and go for the kill shot. Repeat twice and let the marines take care of the rest, only pausing momentarily to shoot rockets at banshees and ghosts that try to take you on. Honestly the hornet is pretty op and that’s why the aerial sections of halo 3 suffer for me.
I don't know man.....I feel like the hardest mission EVER was Halo 5's mission that had you fighting 3 Wardens on Legendary.....yeah. I could go back and do Cortana on Legendary with no major problems, it was insane for me as a kid sure, but now I feel like its not as bad as it use to be.....doing it on LASO however is another thing all together.
The Breaking is hard in the worst kind of way, overwhelming you with enemies and severely limiting your ammo supply, while said enemies also force you to stay in one place behind cover and shoot from a distance. While it certainly is difficult, I’d say The Breaking is the worst mission in Halo history.
And I definitely don’t think Cortana has the top spot, more like number 2, because the hardest mission in halo on legendary is almost certainly Gravemind. In that mission, the covenant throw the best they have at you, in layouts that give you a severe disadvantage to them (You will die in that first room at least once). The most powerful Covenant units, one after another, never ending until you finish the mission.
@@thegrapethief5514 How bro? Gravemind is hard but at least you can kill the covenant efficiently. On the mission cortana there is a flood thing that morph's into a shooting turret whats the name of that? Does it have a head? How do you kill it without using most of your ammo on legendary. I had to run past most of the sections because I couldn't handle it the amount of times I died...... I've completed every halo mission on legendary even done reach laso, but this mission here is the worst. I shouldn't have to run past sections on a normal legendary run just to complete it.
@@thegrapethief5514 Noob combo is great with the covenant on gravemind. But how do you kill the shooting flood turret on cortana legendary?
@@haydencassidy9536 if it tucks into that little ball, don’t bother. It’s nigh invulnerable to plasma, ballistic, or explosive damage in that state. Your best option is either a flamethrower, fire grenade or sword. My suggestion is to always keep plenty of the first handy and keep the last in your back pocket at all times. You’ll need to constantly switch up your armament throughout the mission, but if you find loot caches nearby, they or the flood you kill should have the right tool for whatever job that room demands. Just look around a little. During those hallway bits there should be at least one carbine nearby, or carry one in yourself. 2 shots to the weak point (there should be one in its base, move your reticle until the dot appears if you can’t find where) of those flood ranged forms should kill them on the spot.
The noob combo doesn’t work on brutes, Hunters, or sniper jackals. Those are what you will die to the most in Gravemind. That bridge section near the end took me tries that numbered around 50. Gravemind provides all the tools you need if you just look around a little. I remember a cliff in the first room with an SPNKR, and a pile of energy swords begging to be used on the tanks. Just look for the weapons you need and they’ll almost certainly be there.
It was such a nightmare playing this mission on legendary, it was overwhelming.
I'm currently playing on Legendary (first time ever doing so), it's pretty easy for me. So far....
Hardest in Halo 3? Sure. But pick any mission on Halo 2 and that will be way harder than this....
Don't even get me started on Gravemind....
Chrisey James
Dude not even the hardest in halo 3, one of the easiest in fact
And that's why I love Halo 2
CHUBBA CHOX nope this mission is very hard. even on easy death is constant
nope
Absolutely. somehow it still manages to be somewhat fun, and ultimately rewarding. CHUBBA CHOX you crazy
This upload couldn't have come at a more perfect time I'm stuck on this Mission at the momment and it's driving me crazy
Sir. ShakesAlot just saying you've been on this mission all this time like one of those dumb go to the other games and try again later
This is the mission she keeps interrupting gameplay with those little audio blips right? I fucking hated this mission.
I recently beat this mission on legendary for the first time since I was a kid. Mainly I just managed to ran past everything. The brute hammer from the previous mission came in handy
ROOTIN TOOTIN FLOOD SHOOTIN BUDDY
OMG I REMEMBER PLAYING ALL THE HALO CAMPAIGNS HIGH AF AND I SWEAR IT WAS LIFE CHANGING I ACTUALLY FELT LIKE I WAS IN THE GAME
Shiiit.
You should try watching Spongebob and Mr Krabs x Sandy penis and tits vore while high
I always found dual plasma rifles and an energy sword worked very well for me. The plasma rifles seem to do well against ranged forms and combat forms, plus you don't need to reload. The energy sword is a good backup against tank forms.
I still remember at the first time playing this mission at the final part (pelican) i jut grab the flame thrower and start killing every single thing that moves on that zone eventually i got stressed out cause i didnt know were to go, so i decided to see a video guide and notice i could have ended that mission 30 minutes earlier!!!!!
That was awful!!!
I still have those bad memories every time i play that mission and laugh of myself
I feel like Cortana was pretty easy. I think the mission Halo was more difficult.
Yeah the wave defence at the top of the control room is pretty annoying with the rocket launch flood
Uhh... Whenever I play with my friends, we always skip Cortana and go straight to Halo. Halo can be pretty easy if you can make certain jump
Nitro
He's talking out of his arse, cortana is piss easy, and easily done with 0 deaths and even 0 kills. You want the hardest mission across all of the halos like he said this video was about then look no further than halo 2 gravemind. The most luck based legendary difficulty halo game and the most grindy halo 2 mission
CHUBBA CHOX it's hardest if you play without thinking but if you know the ropes it's ez
Nitro Yeah. I beat Cortana pretty easy on legendary the first time playing the game.
I think the fact that the mission is so annoying game play-wise (even though it's a big plot point for the story) makes many players not care enough to try hard. It's like 343 Guilty Spark (the halo 1 multi-layer flood level) but with more beige.
ximbabwe0228 nah I found it awesome and intimidating gameplay wise. I tried very hard during it. I think what you're saying is pretty subjective.
Its really easy to lose your bearings and get turned around, everything looks the same. I swear i think they made it so ridiculous is because the mission "floodgate" wasnt very difficult, so they wanted a tough flood mission like those in CE and H2. good job guys you nailed it
cortana was more creepy and annoying for me...never really had an issue even on higher difficulties. Creepy as hell though.
Totally agree with what you said about the mission being so much more difficult without the arbiter, especially when you said it's because the flood are excellent at attacking the unwary. Thanks for the guide man :)
I didn't find this mission difficult, it was just the most boring level imo.
Lost ODST Try playing ledgendary alone
Preston Garvey Already have, friend.
Alejandro Sosa 👀
Agreed. I dont really prefer flood missions over brutes and elites.
Brandon Geehan yes same here, I love the flood only when the covenant are involved and I get to see them all fighting together while giving flood certain zones of the mission where they dominate and you see them already finished with kiling the covenant, such as the mission two betrayals or keyes in CE.
I would call the library the hardest mission
It was too dark on og Xbox
Bullshit
Osman Rafiq I would except Gravemind halo 2 on legendary has my vote
I'm sorry sir, but we don't talk about the library, we don't have it in our database, it seems to have been destroyed by the master chief.................
BUT WE WILL NEVER FORGET ;-;
(edit) thanks for 9 likes! never thought i would get this many!
Delta Dragon YT that mission is easy lol if u know how to play it
So when I was 7 me and my dad would play Halo 3 together. For about 6 months I thought Cortana was the final mission of the game because my dad had never beaten it, and always refused when I asked to try it. One day, I decided to do it on my own, and after my first attempt, I didn't try again for 3 years. This bloody mission scared the shit out of me!
I just recently replayed Halo 3 for some nostalgia. I had a heck of a time with Cortana on Heroic difficultly, because for some reason I felt that I should kill all the flood in every room (except for the ‘escape’ part at the end). The wall clingers felt ridiculously tanky when my only gun with ammo was an alien carbine/spiker.
I remember my first broken controller attempting this on Legendary.
I broke my controller on The Maw legendary :/ I am ashamed but that's what happened lmfao
Cortana is a cake walk compared to Gravemind in Halo 2 on Legendary I beat halo 3 and 2 in under 3 hours Cortana was not bad at all
Joshua LeMay physically impossible
Goose 22 I really did lol the achievements I unlocked in the master chief Collection we're called Monopolized and the other one was Devastating
You literally cannot beat halo 3 legendary in under 3 hours it's impossible
Brace Land you really can you don't have to do it alone I did it with my brother and you can beat the levels separately you don't have to it all at once
Brace Land not if u keep practicing
I love the way you did this video is because even if someone barely knew anything about halo they would understand what you’re talking about, even if they haven’t played the game
I think you forgot something: As long as you have a friend, the Arbiter will always be with you.
Disagree, the flood in this game are easy to kill with the exception of the tank forms which are slow and can only melee you. Spikers tend to camp a lot and very rarely move. There are a lot of enemies yes but they always come from one direction, in front of you. They dont spawn behind you to trap you and this means you can always run away.
Tank forms die in one swipe from an energy sword, and because the sword lunges from a distance, they have no time to retaliate.
I disagree. I would always try to go fast and end up in a corner with an energy sword on my last stand
@@xavierrenegadeangel1356 a brute shot melee can kill the tanks in one hit.
Gabriel Garcia that’s only on easy
Listen dude you gotta stop saying if you're smart enough to do so
This isn't smarts it's foresight.
Thank you. I am playing Halo 3 again and recall that I had help during this level last time. Playing it on my own was much more difficult. The most difficult thing for me is getting lost in those rooms and hallways!
God this takes me back. I grew up on Halo, and this mission was hell on Legendary.
i remember playing this for hours #hammerjumps
I thought the picture on the video was ispiteful
11:10 "one brute flood that you can easily kill" do keep in mind that the mauler takes just one shot and you´re dead
When you think about it. The arbiter just kinda said "fuck it" to go help you. He probably figured you would make it out but he wanted to make sure you did.
Also good work my Bruddah
And I remember the Halo 3 stream the Halo 3 shotgun *A shooting happened no one was hurt because it was a halo 3 shotgun*
ApexPredator i couldn't find the wae through the mission
*Bjcoolboy04* *Gaming* Same the paths are difficult to navigate through
U can get gud
Fax
Cortana is about identifying weapons that get shit done.
Sword : all floor forms and OHKO the hunter-like flood.
Needler: wrecks the artillery flood and elite floods
Twin plasma rifle for most things
You know-- man, i couldn't figure this one out for myself, thank God have someone to ramble on for over 10+ minutes to tell us why!
What are you talking about??? This mission on legendary was so easy. Pretty much all of halo 3 on legendary was a piece of cake.
Halo 2 on the other hand .....
HaloFanSince04 but were you playing alone ?
I played halo 3 on legendary alone......
JACKAL SNIPERS!
Great Journey and Quarantine Zone were the most difficult for me, especially with my OCD of having to keep at least 2 allies alive on Quarantine Zone and at least 1 Councilor on The Great Journey.🤣 (On Legendary)
HaloFanSince04 I agree with you on that regarding Cortana.
Love you Luke
love you more
Luke TheNotable not possible😘
No homo
Flood: exists
Flamethrower:so you have chosen death
the brute shot blade is just as effective as the sword, and never runs out.
I thought “The Covenant” was the hardest mission. 😒
TribalFaller
Unless you know how to kick ass with vehicles.
NCR Elite Riot Officer I can kick ass with a tank with spartan laser/rocket launcher marines in the side.
Covenant always gives me the most trouble on legendary play throughs. Those scarabs at the end are so finicky and I always die in strange yet hilarious ways.
cortana is harder below legendary but on legendary covenant is way harder.
Guys, obviously Osiris is the hardest mission in all the Halos.
Nah, "Before the Storm" takes the cake on that.
No way "Arrival" is ridiculously difficult
The Heretic is god-tier
I agree, it’s so hard
No mission is harder than "prepare to drop"
Awesome video!!! Also, I really like your thumbnails. They're very artsy and creative! 👍
That hallway with all the long range flood on the walls and roof
Beat it in 5
On easy
Dark metallic adolescents No lies I did to
It wasn't hard the thing was it was just long and boring for me.
I remember playing this mission all the time as a kid and I don't have any memories of frustration. Maybe I need to play through again
I have beaten Halo 3 on legendary only once. A big part of that, is Cortana. This mission took me 3 hours and 54 Minutes to beat that run, the spiral room and hallway of death killed me a bunch before I found the active camo and just ran past everything. Still love this game but honestly Cortana is easily my least favorite mission and one I barely replay.
What morons deem this as the hardest mission across all of the halos? Flood are piss easy to deal with, shoot the chests. Also the flood seem to have shit accuracy and are slow like so you can just run pass them. I've legendary speed run the mission in 14:56. You want the hardest mission look at many of the halo 2 missions *coughs* gravemind *coughs*
Stalkers shoot but miss a lot if you jump and zig zag
Tanks are stupidly slow and easy to avoid via jumping over
Brute flood are a pain but you get so many energy swords on this mission you can one hit them, same with elite flood
There are multiple invisibility drops.
You can run past all of the flood and jump over them, once you reach any of the cortana cutscenes the flood stop chasing and run away.
As for hells hallway you just run and jump over them easily landing in the middle of the horde, you can then jump off of their heads to skip the rest, easy.
Tall room has 3 easy jumps to skip it all and even has 2 invis drops.
THIS MISSION IS FAR FROM HARDEST, ITS MORE LIKE THE MOST RELIABLE MISSION TO ZERO DEATH IN AS ITS ALL EASY TO GET AROUND ANY CONFLICT, just keep moving. You can easily get through it without killing the any of the flood.
*MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE TYPING...*
FlyingMustaches -
😂😂😂😂but it's so true, what brain dead moron would even try and fight the flood horde? Just run past. I can understand taking 40+ mins on gravemind but cortana??? I've only got gravemind left to go on legendary till I get the only halo 2 achievement I do not have yet, monopolised. I've got 32.47 mins to complete it so I have some wiggle room but fuck me that first room can be bullshit sometimes, same with the open walk way to last room. I have the 154th fastest speed run time in the world on delta halo which I'm quite proud of and saved me a lot of time(master chief collection of course where there's no energy sword fly glitch)
Your brain dead too rude that's the easy way out
Quartine zone is 10x harder than cortana
Jayden Abraham
Harder than cortana yes, but actually quite pleasant to speed run, lots of shortcuts and the gondala ride(however you spell it) at the end can just be 3-4 mins of sitting glitched out of the map eating
Bull shit I completed this when I was 3 and the worst thing was me always getting lost
Drastic Ethan8 i started then to and my problem was being scared and he said that cortina was purple it's not halo 1 anymore😂😂
12:10 The Arbiter can 'die', but he revives himself.
The explosions in the Reactor room have launched me off that platform so many times
Why Cortana is such a hard mission, my patience runs out before my ammo. Thanks for slowing me down Cortana!
It must be fate, but this just popped into my feed and I just beat it on legendary yesterday. My tip is know where the flamethrowers are, they're basically the cheatcodes for pureforms. Also always have a ranged weapon.
Oh God, I got so stuck on this mission when I played it. It made me HATE the flood! But when you finally escape it's pretty satisfying.
The escape part was hard with the skulls on that give the enemies higher health, upgrading enemy ranks and flood forms while playing on normal or above. They could kill you in a few hits and swarm you but it would take four or five hits for to kill one at a time. Fucking brutal.
this is one of my favorite halo missions simply because it's the only time we've seen a place that 90% flood converted
Fun fact, I made all of that with out seen that guide, that was on the time when I finish halo 1 to 4 alone in Legendary, it took some time but it was fun.
Halo 3 is such a good looking game
Recently played the game for the first time on Heroic. The flood generally isn't bad, but those ranged forms were annoying as hell. Sometimes it feels like they don't register damage properly. I remember shooting one Stalker form in the back with a carabine across the reactor room. Because I was so far it didn't do anything, but I empties all of the carabine ammo I had into it (about 50 shots) and it still didn't die.
the 4k looks dope! lukethenotable still continues to deliver high quality videos as always
Slaps roof of mission: This baby can fit so many flood in here.
I was 7 when I played Halo 3 for the first time. I wasn’t ready.
The first mission in Halo 3 and Cortana were 2 of my most favorite missions on legendary 'specially in coop
My strategy every time I play this level: Energy Sword and Grav Hammer. Sword for single targets like tank forms, and grab hammer for larger groups of enemies, resort to shotgun if desperate.
My brother and i played a lot of cortana when we were like 8, very nostalgic
Somehow I missed this video, but holy hell! It made me your rival on the MCC timer. Sweet!
I have Halo 3 it's a really great game I never played the first 2 but still my love for Halo and it's story is huge
This mission should be called
'HEY , WANT A FACEHUGGER?'
This was one of my least favorite missions in Halo 3 until my young self discovered the flamethrower. And oh man is it satisfying burning them to cinders.
I remember doing this mission and finishing the game in middle school. Took me waaay longer but no other feeling better than finishing something on that difficulty.
I recently picked up the master chief collection for my xbox one, and I had beat reach and 3 on legendary solo. despite this difficult level, I figured I got through it easily enough, and I was ready for halo 2!
....oooooooh boy was that one a doozey....
It's scary how quickly the flood can terraform basically anything. Especially when you take into consideration that halo 2 and 3 take place like a couple weeks to a month apart. This mission shows how rapid the flood expand.
Little bit longer than that bud
Honestly, The Library still has my heart as the hardest of all, but I think Cortana is a hardy competitor. It's just the feel of never being safe. You have to keep your vision in all directions or they will get the drop on you, and you will die.
You say that killing all the flood is a mistake, but to get the par score I put on Heroic and a bunch of skulls and killed all of them I never even looked at the timer. I got more then enough points too.
I kept dying to Arby’s badass flamethrower
Omg ur actually my favorite person ever. I have dreaded and hated this level so much and almost skipped it on my recent legendary run. The first time I played it on heroic it took my like an hour. I just beat it on legendary in like 20 min. 🙏
You should check out Halo Completionist's Cortana LASO guide. It made the level fun. I know it's a LASO guide, but the idea is the same. My opinion this guys way of running it is a lot harder. Although I enjoyed almost every LASO level in halo, so this may be easier. idk XD
Good weapons to use:
Dual Plasma Rifles (Don't waste on tanks)
Energy Sword (Beware of Maulers and Shotguns)
Brute Shot(Good for clearing out infection forms and Pure Forms)
Carbine or BR (Only for combat forms)
Arbiter karate-kicking the flood is so satisfying...
so many memories are flowing back
