Friendly tip: turn on the "jacked" skull, so you can't get in vehicles. This includes turrets and all that. You can still board, so be careful, but it can help avoid accidentally getting into vehicles.
Encounters get easier the more enemies you kill because theirs less incoming fire - thank you so much! this has helped my laso run exponentially. 13:05
To anyone who is struggling with this achievement there is a "cheat" for all no-vehicle achievements. Save & Quit at the last checkpoint (when you get to the last room) and resume. Once you finish the mission you will get the achievement, regardless of if you used vehicles before you saved & quit.
Can confirm that this achievement unlocks if you just play the mission normally, then save and exit before completing the mission, restart the MCC (not sure if required, but just to be safe), and resume from your checkpoint. This method works for most "complete mission without using X" as long as you satisfy the requirements in the session that you complete the mission.
If people also want a bit more of an easier time with this, if you play co-op on this level, your partner(s) can use the vehicles on the map while you don't and you'll still get the achievement, I can confirm as I've done it myself, I did it this way without using the acrophobia skull.
I did it solo without Acrophobia. Co-op would have definitely been easier, but it was so satisfying getting past the area with three wraiths and then the Scarab on foot.
On the final fight, I found it easier to immediately charge the brute chieftain and while in his animation he will not turn around or attack you, same thing goes for the jet pack brutes if you don’t shoot them. Once you get behind the chieftain do a melee attack and he will drop his gravity hammer and invincibility power up, grab his hammer and his invincibility and use it and use the hammer to kill at the jet pack brutes as they will also do an animation after you kill the chieftain, there might be a few stragglers after that but use your fire grenades from the previous area to kill them. This worked really well for me.
I attempted this achievement without the use of the Acrophobia skull. It was utter hell due to having to rely on one marine in a scorpion tank to take out the 4 wraiths while on the way to the door before the Scarab area.
I got this by total accident. I completed the level normally and closed out of the game. When i came back and resumed it replayed final cutscene and gave me the achievement
Glitched achievement, didn't touch any turrets or vehicles. Will try the save/load at last room trick someday, but !@#$ this, getting really annoyed at how many of the chievos in MCC are just not popping.
Make one for tsavo highway one, it can be done on easy with acrophobia. Also u don’t need to get the hogs over the bridge, just under it and make them touch the wall, remember to load all the load zones doe.
9:28 Around here the Oracle told me. “Maybe you should try playing on, Easy” Also once you go back outside I tried boarding the Scarab right away but it wouldn’t blow up lol
If you plan on doing LASO, give this method a miss. As long as you save and quit once at the last checkpoint you will get the achievement no matter what vehicles you used
Wooooooow. Followed the whole guide, then after the cartographer scene, I went back inside and killed everyone. But my BR was completely out and without thinking I picked up the chieftain's dropped plasma turret. That is crazy frustrating. Here I go again.
Seems you can tell marines to get off vehicles as well if they get stuck; got the achievement after telling a Scorpion turret user to ride the thing instead
Did you ever have a guide for doing this without Acro? I assume you did but then made it unlisted or something? If you had one, and it is indeed unlisted, could you perhaps reply to this with a link to it? I'd love to watch it. Thanks
I accidentally told a native to exit the gause turret and it didn't pop, started my second play through and it popped after taking out the two anti air wraiths. Weird but happy I didn't need a second play through
I can't get the scarab to spawn. Help?? Edit: You have to kill at least one of the wraiths first it to spawn. All of my friendly scorpions were destroyed in the previous area, RIP.
Wish I had done this, I went and got this achievement a week ago and it took me over an hour to beat the mission. And guys you can board wraiths, BUT ONLY FROM THE BACK. If you board from the front you will not get the achievement.
I know this might seem weird but have you managed to get all according to plan achievement on the Chinese version as its broken on mcc right now won't unlock on the original unless you get a disc?
Yeah, it's not broken on the Chinese version. That is an old build that doesn't have that glitch. Only the current MCC build has that glitch that prevents it from unlocking. That's getting patched tomorrow, though.
@@HaloCompletionist OK well least it's getting patched as that was annoying me having only 4 achievements left and not being able to 100% ce after just beating halo 2 lol
You can play through the entire mission normally using vehicles if you want. Just save and quit at one of the last checkpoints and the game seems to forget that you used vehicles at all. After saving and quitting resume your mission and finish the rest of the mission without using vehicles or turrets and the achievement is yours. I did this recently and it is by far the easiest way to complete this achievement. Just make sure that you're on legendary before you start the mission.😁
I'm not sure it'll be available again for a while, maybe they'll bring it back as a tier reward? Regardless, I've seen methods to unlock the skull where you edit some text files. Good luck with that if you're on a console.
No longer a valid guide. Achievement is not popping with Acrophobia. Did not board vehicles or use turrets. Please make a guide on how to do this as intended.
It doesn’t, 0.00x skulls don’t disable achievements other than score, difficulty, and time related ones. Notice how the difficult CE achievements like not killing any grunts or not picking up weapons on Two Betrayals use Bandana.

True, got it this way during the laso run 👌
This is how I accidentally got the achievement for not using weapons in the Silent Cartographer
Oo that is what i did lol
@@ratedrhated5909 Same, I was confused when I got the no vehicle achievement after the LASO run.
@@spooks188 A late death in the run gave us a free achievement 😅
Wish I had acrophobia for these cheves 5 years ago😑
After 4 hours or unbearable suffering, I thought "hmmm, this would have been easier with the acrophobia skull. Wait..."
I wanna die
F
I feel like all these guides always have way better RNG than when I play
With the recent update. You can also use the Bandana skull as well
Kingly tip

I just realized how easy acrophobia makes getting the skulls in this mission
How can I unlock acrophobia? Its not in my skull menu :(
@@alejandrohernandezcarrillo2436 Its halo 3 only
This one works with the bandana skull on as well and it helps quite a bit
Chief is thinking happy thoughts

13:06 ''Hmm yes, the floor here Is made out of floor''
Can't wait to see your ODST Laso guide. I'm not even gonna attempt it but I just love your Laso runs
I attempted this achievement without the use of the Acrophobia skull. It was utter hell due to having to rely on one marine in a scorpion tank to take out the 4 wraiths while on the way to the door before the Scarab area.
Lemme just say, Halo 3 marine AI in tanks is easily the most infuriating thing in the world
Yeah this is probably the hardest part of the mission for me.
Also works with bandana, so you can just spam the hell out of them with rockets
Finally got it. Thanks. The ammo pickups were game changing
Make sure to toggle the BANDANA skull on as well, it makes this achievement a whole lot easier!!!
Acrophobia+Bandana is a cheevo-hunter's bread and butter these days. Now it's the multiplayer cheevos that are the hardest, basically.
July 10, 2024 - Still working with bandanna and acrophobia
bugged, i did this with the arach skull and it never unlocked.
If only this came out sooner
I would’ve known not to hijack a wraith
As I read this, I knew I f’d up. Sadly, I was near the end of the mission. Going to try the save and quit glitch and hope for the best...
It worked!
I got this by total accident. I completed the level normally and closed out of the game. When i came back and resumed it replayed final cutscene and gave me the achievement
Glitched achievement, didn't touch any turrets or vehicles. Will try the save/load at last room trick someday, but !@#$ this, getting really annoyed at how many of the chievos in MCC are just not popping.
Not had any that haven't popped for me yet.

Yea u can get that. Mind the gap. Really easy and quickly with it aswell
As far as I can tell misc/collectible achievements can be gained with acrophobia and bandana skull on.
Infinite ammo and flying does make life easier!
Omg acrophobia works with this! That’s a game changer
I remember when I did this acheviment a while ago I took my about 2 hours to take out the scarab with a fuel rod
9:28
Around here the Oracle told me. “Maybe you should try playing on, Easy”
Also once you go back outside I tried boarding the Scarab right away but it wouldn’t blow up lol
If you plan on doing LASO, give this method a miss. As long as you save and quit once at the last checkpoint you will get the achievement no matter what vehicles you used
I was in a vehicle one or two times in this mission so i have no clue how i got this 💀
Wooooooow. Followed the whole guide, then after the cartographer scene, I went back inside and killed everyone. But my BR was completely out and without thinking I picked up the chieftain's dropped plasma turret. That is crazy frustrating. Here I go again.
Wait I still got it! Wow that feels so good lol
Seems you can tell marines to get off vehicles as well if they get stuck; got the achievement after telling a Scorpion turret user to ride the thing instead
I finally did it! Thanks Sliver 👍
Did you ever have a guide for doing this without Acro? I assume you did but then made it unlisted or something? If you had one, and it is indeed unlisted, could you perhaps reply to this with a link to it? I'd love to watch it. Thanks
I just tried this and DID NOT get the achievement. Not sure if using the skull has been patched :(
Good video, I did this on my own, was wondering when you'd update this. Kudos.
I accidentally told a native to exit the gause turret and it didn't pop, started my second play through and it popped after taking out the two anti air wraiths. Weird but happy I didn't need a second play through
Did legitimately a couple years ago, didn’t get it.
Perfect timing. Thanks!
You’re the man, Silver! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Also I can confirm you CAN pick up destroyed turrets. Just punch em a couple of times.
I did this legit on Xbox legit took around 4hrs. I did this on Steam from this guide lol.
I spent two hours to get this achievement I wish I knew about this earlier
that isn't a marine, that's Seargent Staker
You can do this without the skull it’ll just take longer
Hello, I did what you did on this video, and I did not get the “Who Needs Them?” achievement.
Took me 3 hours doing it without skulls, now I see I could have used Acrophobia. Well makes it feel better tho.
Did it just like the guide and got shit, just wasted like 30min...
Man i missed your guides
Been meaning to try this... But wasnt sure it would pop
They patched using this skull for mission achievements
No i just got it with the flying skull as well as the BANDANA skull
Did you delete you’re guide for this pre-ach ro phobia
Can you use the acrophobia skull for any achievement? Seems super useful for everything especially the speed running ones
It won't work for any scoring or time achievements
Thank god i needed help
Wow it was that whole first part I was having trouble with. I did it
I had no idea they added new skulls
hi silver, do you consider necessary updating the halo 2 speedrun vids for getting the Monopolized achievement? (Beating it under 3 hours)
I didnt get the achievement until over a full minute after completing the mission. I was so worried 😭🤣
I can't get the scarab to spawn. Help??
Edit: You have to kill at least one of the wraiths first it to spawn. All of my friendly scorpions were destroyed in the previous area, RIP.

can you use scarab?

@@HaloCompletionist OK well least it's getting patched as that was annoying me having only 4 achievements left and not being able to 100% ce after just beating halo 2 lol
I thought using this skull voided the achievements?
Only par time, score, and speedrunning.
Would the acrophobia skull work for the Devastating achievement?
No, 0.00 multiplier skulls voids par times, par scores, and 3 hr speedruns
I like the video but why are there black borders around all the edges of the video
Must be some settings you have on or maybe the device you're viewing on. I don't see any black borders/edges.
Yeah you are right. Not happening anymore. Must be a TH-cam rotating issue on my phone
there is so much RNG in this solo , your run is so lucky
yeah this is impossible on pc with more aggressive enemies
Will it still work if I accidentally flip a warthog or enter a wraith and revert to the last checkpoint.
Probably

Is there a way to unlock this skull still? I didn’t get it, and I’d like to be able to. I missed the Season 1 rewards, but can I get it in the future?
I'm not sure it'll be available again for a while, maybe they'll bring it back as a tier reward? Regardless, I've seen methods to unlock the skull where you edit some text files. Good luck with that if you're on a console.
It unlocks for everybody with tomorrow's update.
It unlocks for everybody with tomorrow's update.
Halo Completionist Sweet!!! Thanks for the info!! Keep up the great content!
I did this achievement a couple months ago and now they give a flying cheat bruh all that walking for nothing
Im here after 2:30 hours of suffering
very good
Lol didn't know you could use acrophobia for this
And i thought the iron skull cheat before was good
Ehm kinda weird to say this but for me it unlocked on legendary but i was driving ... lol so i dont have to bother with this anymore xd
I did this the hard way. I hated it
I take it you did this solo without the skull as well?
Good morning, afternoon or evening depending on when you read this
No longer a valid guide. Achievement is not popping with Acrophobia. Did not board vehicles or use turrets. Please make a guide on how to do this as intended.
If you haven't you can just beat the level legit and on the last level, save, quit, restart the game and then load in and it coutns
Acrophobia skull disables every achievement so how
Only par time, score, and speedrunning.
It doesn’t, 0.00x skulls don’t disable achievements other than score, difficulty, and time related ones. Notice how the difficult CE achievements like not killing any grunts or not picking up weapons on Two Betrayals use Bandana.
Are you aloud to die?
Yes
@@braindeadcabbage k thx
People find this mission hard?
that bit with the two anti air wraiths requires a lot of patience on legendary.
@@aidan8473 meh
1th.
I'm proud of you
Good guide. I got the acheivement, thank you.
