Holding down a while boosting raises the front of the Ghost, which can block some sniper shots. It makes you more prone to flip out, but it really helps in that sniper section.
I'm pretty sure your vehicle will never blow up unless YOU die while in it. Same reason why if the shipmaster/johnson's in a vehicle, it's impossible to blow it up
Yeah, that's how it is in Halo 2. So long as your shield is up, your vehicle can never explode. Vehicles also increase how much damage your shield can take, so Halo 2's vehicles are wonderful things to be in. In Halo 3 though, that isn't the case. And in Halo 4 they're downright made of cardboard.
Axilus Prime Just wanna clarify to people reading your comments that "your vehicle" means you're the driver, not passenger or gunner. Which makes it extremely challenging but possible to get on the passenger seat of the first Warthog that rolls in with Invincible Marines, get yourself a Sniper/Beam Rifle (and later a Rocket Launcher) and try to survive by shooting at things while moving. Be warned that "Jackals with Sniper Rifles" will still prioritize you!
giftu2b And if you get to the part with the Shadows, you'd wanna switch to the gunner seat and give the Invincible dude some Infinite Rockets so that you can save the Rockets for the final room of the level
Followed the same route in 6:05 I've been copying each of ur missions and usually am like 10-20 mins slower but was really happy when I got this close thanks Eli
I'm a noob at speed running xD but i did this and succeeded after 3 tries! Thanks man. I'm starting to love campaigns more than multiplayer in games now ...
Thanks a lot man. Been playing Halo 2 for 14 years, never tried speedrunning. I did this one first time mostly, only dying aboit 3-4 times on the ghost part trying to make it past the turret. Great tutorial man. You're one of the best in the community.
It's also efficient to use the pelican (that picks up Johnson) to boost you to Hotel Zanzibar. On the rooftops jump over it and it shoot hit you towards it
You're a life saver I just had to restart this mission due to a bad checkpoint and I never knew you could skip half of the mission, I'm still gonna steal Johnson's sniper though.
Doing a solo legendary run Halo Reach - Halo 5. First mission on Halo 2 with snipers. Got to the vehicle stage and I decided that I had suffered enough of the snipers. This video helped me out a lot even know I'm not trying to speed run. Thanks for your time & video! Might need to check out some of your other speedrun guides later. :)
Thanks for the guide! You are able to get another warthog if yours is on fire before those 3 vehicles with turrets, you should see your homies ripping around just behind you. I grabbed this fresh warty and was able to make it safely through the rest of the level.
I just finished this mission on Legendary, and I encountered the same situation that Eli did with the flaming warthog in the Shadow section, but somehow RNGesus made my shields full before I even hit the 3rd Shadow. It's been a long time since I did this mission, and I got a 6:06, and also got the "Demon" achievement!
Did this mission solo on legendary today, getting both skulls and the terminal in the process. For the ghost/warthog driving sections I followed your guide. Ghost section got on my first try then died only six times on the underground tunnel. RNGeus was very good to me :)
It doesn't matter if your warthog is in fire or not, in halo 2 the vehicles health is connected with the passengers health, the only thing that matter in the last section is having a gunner, he will absorb most of the shoots from the shadows.
Can you still do this? I’m playing MCC and those jumps just aren’t there anymore. Or do I have to play with cheats on? I’m not sure how to enable them again can someone help?
i love how at the first part, there is a way easier and faster way to get where he was going. instead of going straight after he crouch jumped off the light, he could have went the opposite way and crouch jumped up the wall on the left, then jumped down, and he would have been halfway to where he was going already.
I don't know why it isn't mentioned by Eli in this video but you have a much MUCH higher chance of surviving the three shadows with your turret marine alive, every time I attempted it without him I died and on my reset when I got there with him I survived as I assume he was pulling aggro away from me. If it's RNG it definitely seems to tip the balance in your favor
I did this with 9:26. I was freaking out in the beginning so I did the rooftop section in like 3 minutes xD the rest was pretty easy. Only got sniped out of my ghost a few times.
At 3:20 I went furthest i could get from the Shadow's range and waited for the fresh new warthog to come to me. It took little damage so I suggest doing what I did if your Warthog is on fire.
I managed to at least get the achievement thanks to this vid (the time was comparatively awful but oh well.) Things I kinda learned: Just like Eli does here when you round the turret at 1:35 if you stop you'll generally be safe from the jackal as he'll hit your ghost and not you. Also I was wondering why the Hog was so crucial; what I've learned is that more than the hog the gunner is crucial due to the fact that he'll actually soak up some of the shots and damage that would otherwise go to you. You CAN get up to the Shadows with the Ghost but you'll pretty much ALWAYS die to the Shadow turrets themselves and the same will be true if your gunner dies before you get there.
You can actually skip the entire first fight and hallway that you showed us. I got a time of 4:34 and ranked #6 for the MCC leaderboard. GG Nak3d Eli, good vids
The fastest possible way to get to Hotel Zanzibar after you get on the roof is let the pelican that spawns to take Johnson launch you there as you try and land on it but it takes a lot of practice and luck to get done
DepthsisNick Thats absolutely true but it is completely random, maybe 1 in 20. So not worth doing in a normal speedrun. If you're going for a WR then yes you would do this over and over until you get it :D
I think I found a faster way to get on the roof. Turn right at spawn, to the fire. there will be a part of your ship and behind it a brown pillar (original graphics) I jumped on the pelican part and then onto the pillar, and then I threw a nade on the bottom of the wall and nade-jumped onto the brown metal bar that goes from one side of the roof to the other, then I jumped across the other metal things that stick up from the walls/roof and jumped back into the rout that Eli shows here. Try it out!
On the Shadow section Intake a different route where I commondeer a ghost right before it then fpllow as close as possibke as I take out each shadow, sometomes switching ghosts
The Sputnik Skull has a x1.00 multiplier, so it still counts. Any skull that has a x0.00 multiplier will disable achievements, unless you do not bother enabling score or time.
biff butkus Dude, just do the slant wall grenade jump next to the fire. It's way faster. I think I do that in my playthru video, if not Monopoli definitely does it on his routes!
On the part where Johnson has to climb in the pelican Right before it spawns when I'm on the roof top I would jump and then the pelican would just bump n a bit into the air and then i continue on the roofs to the rex sword and do the mission
I can never get past the 1st jackal on the ghost, so I have to stop and take him out, sometimes just firing at him will do the trick, is just some additional seconds but chances of success increase dramatically
So I lost my gunner and my warthog is flaming and I can get past the first 2 but once I’m driving past the third every turret suddenly goes full auto and I get absolutely destroyed
How come competetive time doesn't work anymore? I turn this on but when the level starts there is nothing in the bottom right corner. I have to turn on competetive score. This still shows the time but just curious.
I'm trying to follow these on MCC PC but it doesn't work out the same way with the higher FPS all the enemies react way faster so all these lucky routes are nearly impossible
I did a literal walk through of this when I grabbed the skull right near the spawn area and completed the mission with 1 kill lmao, I jumped and avoided all enemies
How do you get past the part with the ghost from 1:30 to 1:40? I get sniped or killed by the grunt on the turret EVERY time without fail. I'm restarting the level each time I die too so the RNG should be good to me at least once but not so :(
Eli, I can actually get on top of the tunnel your driving through in the second half of the run here, is there any way to get back down at the end of the tunnel?
Joey Puckett I've been up there a few times, and done a lot of exploring, but as far as I can tell, you can't get back down into the tunnel. Sucks, cause that would make this run insanely fast, although I do it for fun and not speed.
Litterally did this with the flaming warhog at the same time uou got it, took the same route, got 7:46, alot better than my 15 min one previously. I died like 3 times in the hallway before getting the ghost cuz i forgot to grab the grunts plasma pistol and the machine gun grunt killed me one time on that forst part after i got the ghost, now i just re did immediately acter and got 7:22. Edit number 3: now im at 6:50
Your Warthog being on fire makes ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE on Halo 2. As long as the driver's shields are not depleted, a vehicle with a driver CANNOT be destroyed. It's almost as if the driver's shields protect the entire vehicle. This is unique to Halo 2 of course. Try it for yourself!
Diego Zermeño Maybe. The physics for all 4 games seem different. Vehicles are constantly flipping now, it seems. Maybe my driving skills have degraded, but I don't think that's the problem.
ZakuMeister yeah i know what you meant, since every gane has different physics, that may distort the feeling for the vehicles while playing between games
Holding down a while boosting raises the front of the Ghost, which can block some sniper shots. It makes you more prone to flip out, but it really helps in that sniper section.
From what I've seen, this is a good stratagy.
I never knew this thank you
"A very lucky route" Eli's most said statement!! haha
I'm pretty sure your vehicle will never blow up unless YOU die while in it. Same reason why if the shipmaster/johnson's in a vehicle, it's impossible to blow it up
Yeah, that's how it is in Halo 2. So long as your shield is up, your vehicle can never explode. Vehicles also increase how much damage your shield can take, so Halo 2's vehicles are wonderful things to be in. In Halo 3 though, that isn't the case. And in Halo 4 they're downright made of cardboard.

giftu2b And if you get to the part with the Shadows, you'd wanna switch to the gunner seat and give the Invincible dude some Infinite Rockets so that you can save the Rockets for the final room of the level
Your vehicle's condition does effect how much damage it stops before getting to you, though
Damn dude! Never knew any of this!
OMG its MoreConsole !,,!,!,la
Here i am watchin Nak3d Eli vids, and suddenly see MoreConsole in the comments.... what are the odds... both you guys are awesome btw
MoreConsole Destiny sucks
wow its moreconsole!!!! i watched ur vids way back in destiny year 1
Followed the same route in 6:05 I've been copying each of ur missions and usually am like 10-20 mins slower but was really happy when I got this close thanks Eli

COME BACK
Thanks for these tutorials. They're really helping me get through the master chief collection.
It's also efficient to use the pelican (that picks up Johnson) to boost you to Hotel Zanzibar. On the rooftops jump over it and it shoot hit you towards it
No, not efficient. Not consistent enough.

4:47! I beat Eli! Tweaked the strategy in a few places though, more yolo strats and less safe strats.
Thanks for all these videos man. This helps achievement hunters like me SO much. Now to do Par Scores...
1:14 That truck. Nostalgia.
My strategy for the shadows is to wedge myself under the 1st one and let it drag me
It doesn't matter if your warthog is in fire or not, in halo 2 the vehicles health is connected with the passengers health, the only thing that matter in the last section is having a gunner, he will absorb most of the shoots from the shadows.
It does matter because it makes you take more damage and might make you more exposed, depending on the vehicle
thaught that I hit a perfect run (04:57.) Then I checked the leaderboards and I was on spot 142.. haha damn it
Great videos. I'll probably use your tactics later to get the monopolized achievement
I cant even make it pst the first jump wtf
Can you still do this? I’m playing MCC and those jumps just aren’t there anymore. Or do I have to play with cheats on? I’m not sure how to enable them again can someone help?
the jumps are still there even 2 years after this comment lol
i love how at the first part, there is a way easier and faster way to get where he was going. instead of going straight after he crouch jumped off the light, he could have went the opposite way and crouch jumped up the wall on the left, then jumped down, and he would have been halfway to where he was going already.
I like how you say "we beat" at the end, as if your viewers had a hand in it. lol
I think he says it in the case someone uses this guide for their own Legendary run.
Alot of you tubers say this
Eli is actually an amalgation of thousands of dead halo players merged into one, he absorbed all their knowledge and that's why he's so good at halo
I don't know why it isn't mentioned by Eli in this video but you have a much MUCH higher chance of surviving the three shadows with your turret marine alive, every time I attempted it without him I died and on my reset when I got there with him I survived as I assume he was pulling aggro away from me.

You CAN get up to the Shadows with the Ghost but you'll pretty much ALWAYS die to the Shadow turrets themselves and the same will be true if your gunner dies before you get there.
before the shadow part there's a tunnel, go in it and there is a fresh warthog :D
Got the same time as you but never would have done without this video :)
In Halo 2, damage already dealt to the vehicle does not matter. You only die when you take hits after your shields are down.
no warthog came when I went back exactly where you did...
you have to get out of the ghost once the checkpoint happens
@@myauntkeith6843 Wow... you tell me this now 2 years later?! I ALREADY FIGURED IT OUT LMFAO IM GOOD NOW
well no one else said anything so I just assumed lmao
You can actually skip the entire first fight and hallway that you showed us. I got a time of 4:34 and ranked #6 for the MCC leaderboard. GG Nak3d Eli, good vids

The updated graphics make the shadow section a nightmare. Who thought it would be a good idea to make the screen go black when you get shot at!
I think I found a faster way to get on the roof. Turn right at spawn, to the fire. there will be a part of your ship and behind it a brown pillar (original graphics) I jumped on the pelican part and then onto the pillar, and then I threw a nade on the bottom of the wall and nade-jumped onto the brown metal bar that goes from one side of the roof to the other, then I jumped across the other metal things that stick up from the walls/roof and jumped back into the rout that Eli shows here.

ELI I NOTICED U HIT 68 THOUSAND SUBS CONGRATS
Thanks!!! Helped out a lot I was stuck on the beach
On the Shadow section Intake a different route where I commondeer a ghost right before it then fpllow as close as possibke as I take out each shadow, sometomes switching ghosts
How did you do that run at 1:30. I get destroyed like 2 seconds after driving the ghost
Even though the run is without skulls on, I'm sure that you'd advise people to use the Sputnik Skull for an easier time for their playthroughs?
But then I don't think you get the achievement for completing the campaigns on legendary.
The Sputnik Skull has a x1.00 multiplier, so it still counts. Any skull that has a x0.00 multiplier will disable achievements, unless you do not bother enabling score or time.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DAWG 🫶🏽
I can't make that first jump from the light above the door. I can't jump high enough to make it onto that slanted wall.
At the the top of the jump you have to crouch
put sputnik on
biff butkus
Dude, just do the slant wall grenade jump next to the fire. It's way faster. I think I do that in my playthru video, if not Monopoli definitely does it on his routes!
@@xXBigNosXx thanks so much man
Amazing it's like playing for the first time lol
Dude that was awesome!!!
On the part where Johnson has to climb in the pelican
Right before it spawns when I'm on the roof top I would jump and then the pelican would just bump n a bit into the air and then i continue on the roofs to the rex sword and do the mission
This helped me so much thanks!
The skip at the start is easy, but the vehicle part is just rng
Just pulled it off with mass RNG like you, but got 8 min 30. thanks mate
I did the tunnels with only the ghost. It's a bit more dangerous than this but it worked out
I can never get past the 1st jackal on the ghost, so I have to stop and take him out, sometimes just firing at him will do the trick, is just some additional seconds but chances of success increase dramatically
So I lost my gunner and my warthog is flaming and I can get past the first 2 but once I’m driving past the third every turret suddenly goes full auto and I get absolutely destroyed
That - is - badass!
2:16 One time today, the warthog did not come, tried to complete the section on a ghost but failed
Same
wow I did it with a ghost
, thanks for the tips!
Holy shit ty, I made it past this mission in no time
Man, I did this pretty much perfectly and yours was still a minute faster D:
How come competetive time doesn't work anymore? I turn this on but when the level starts there is nothing in the bottom right corner. I have to turn on competetive score. This still shows the time but just curious.
You deserve a sub
Nice youtubes but why did you waited for driver to waltz in the passenger seat before continue driving
I'm trying to follow these on MCC PC but it doesn't work out the same way with the higher FPS all the enemies react way faster so all these lucky routes are nearly impossible
I did a literal walk through of this when I grabbed the skull right near the spawn area and completed the mission with 1 kill lmao, I jumped and avoided all enemies
Could you make one video where you explain all the terms like "noob combo" and "R&G" as a sort of guide
cooldude10149804 *RNG
I sped so quick through the first part and then I got to the driving sequence.
Great job
How do you get past the part with the ghost from 1:30 to 1:40? I get sniped or killed by the grunt on the turret EVERY time without fail. I'm restarting the level each time I die too so the RNG should be good to me at least once but not so :(
Did they break the medals in the recent update or did you just turn them off?
Damn. I was going to make it at 4:30ish then my gunner died and I died shortly after. GUUURR.
wait did they also take out super jumping to?
How the hell did some guy get 3:38 on this?
Eli, I can actually get on top of the tunnel your driving through in the second half of the run here, is there any way to get back down at the end of the tunnel?
Joey Puckett I've been up there a few times, and done a lot of exploring, but as far as I can tell, you can't get back down into the tunnel. Sucks, cause that would make this run insanely fast, although I do it for fun and not speed.
We miss you :'v

I get to shadows with a hog that isn't even smoking yet and I still die every time
Litterally did this with the flaming warhog at the same time uou got it, took the same route, got 7:46, alot better than my 15 min one previously. I died like 3 times in the hallway before getting the ghost cuz i forgot to grab the grunts plasma pistol and the machine gun grunt killed me one time on that forst part after i got the ghost, now i just re did immediately acter and got 7:22.

SCRAB DELOAD HYPE 😆
I watch this run on twitch like 2 days
Run along a load of rooftops, and then pray that your warthog does'nt explode lol
And I completed it fairly
Wait there’s a warthog in that tunnel I did it on foot for no reason
There's a few warthogs. Two outside the tunnel. Two once you enter.
The first beach post is a pain in the ass. One elite will kill me before rounding their tower... wtf.
3:25 fire is irrelevant in halo 2, the state of the vehicle doesnt impact anything
Ty!
the shadows must have killed me at least 300 times now i cant do it :(
Fuck you RNGesus! I can't get past the snipers after getting the Ghost because everyone in that damn area is immediately looking at me.
like it as always :D
i cant even get to the roof hahaha
Dude the final bit doesn't fucking work those Spectre's melt you every time
you should let us see the video's ya know :3
Blew through with no smoke on my warthog :D
Awesome did mine in14:46
i got a nice 5:28 on this mission :D
The vehicle physics seem wonky in this game. I think it has something to do with the 60fps.
The fps has nothing to do with the game physics. They've always been that way
Diego Zermeño Maybe. The physics for all 4 games seem different. Vehicles are constantly flipping now, it seems. Maybe my driving skills have degraded, but I don't think that's the problem.
ZakuMeister yeah, that's because every game has different physics
Diego Zermeño I meant that they seem different from their original version.
ZakuMeister yeah i know what you meant, since every gane has different physics, that may distort the feeling for the vehicles while playing between games
14seconds in "we get through this entire thing with no fighting" 46seconds in "so were just gonna backsmash this dude right here" 😂 Luv ya ELI
Do any of you guys know when Halo 5 is coming out?
November 2015
benrlego no it comes oktober 27th this year
RNGesus wasn't nice
14:39. Beat the par time at least....
is this the same dude from halo follower
Tim Donovan Are you serious? No!
the video isnt loading for me :(
Have you tried playing the video in 480p? that idea is currently working for whenever I decide to watch a certain video.
