Can I Beat Halo CE on LASO Difficulty?

I played Halo CE on LASO and it was very hard and unfun and I didn't really want to. But you people kept asking me to do it so whatever. I am a man of the people and whatever makes you happy makes me happy (that's a lie).

No bandana skull?

that's not a thing in LASO because it would negate the whole challenge by just letting you spam grenades

[@MisterGoose]

You gotta respect the man for being so honest with his failures in this run. He could’ve said “oh yeah I did LASO flawlessly with no deaths” and nobody would be able to reasonably question him.

[@AlexParry95]

17:26 Hold on, why do you have Plasma Grenades, shouldn't the Foreign skull not allow having those?

[@frogarchist]

for whatever reason you still have them in levels where you'd normally spawn with them I mention this in TB because it takes away the starting plasma pistol but not grenades

[@birdtunes6199]

​@@frogarchist i was also wondering the same thing abiut the gun reticle. Like some parts have it and others have it missing

[@frogarchist]

@birdtunes6199 As I explain in the video, the Malfunction skull disables a random part of your HUD. It just happened to be the reticle the first time. Every time I restart or save and quit, it changes. You must have just missed the explanation when I was explaining all the skulls at the very start.

[@birdtunes6199]

@@frogarchist Oh yeah. My bad. I must've heard specifically the reticle for whatever reason. Anyway, it's definitely been a great video. Awesome job

Frog, the way you articulate yourself in these videos is outstanding. I usually get bored of other Halo content creators, not because of the content itself but how its presented and conveyed.

[@thewayfarer8849]

Holy shit that list of skulls part was brilliant, glad I recently subscribed

[@MitchCyan]

Grunt Funeral helps a bunch.

[@SamsarasArt]

They're like flood carrier forms, I'll use them to take out whole squads of enemies.

[@SamsarasArt]

This is what I'm currently working on as well. I'm on the 9th mission and am trying to learn how to do the flood bump to bypass the whole level. So far the hardest missions were Truth and Reconciliation and The Library. Both of these are brutal. Silent Cartographer and Assault on the Control Room were the easiest missions. Silent Cartographer gives you so many supplies and there's no real difficult parts and the banshee grab trick makes Assault on the Control Room super duper easy. Edit: just finished Halo CE LASO

So you can quit out right as you die in laso, and if you go back to the Playlist and hit resume you will have a checkpoint saved. That'll save you so much trouble for the rest of the Laso challenges in different Halos. I can't imagine having a perfect run in Laso I died so many times doing all of the Laso's! 😂

Very impressive, frog. I wish I were better at Halo speedrun tricks. I have managed to beat all of the MCC games on LASO but the speedruns just kick my ass.

[@ando2821]

Did you beat them all solo? The iron skull has prevented me from even trying

[@walterlindwall9337]

Yes, if you save and quit on the MCC version and resume checkpoint from the menu, the Skull is nullified essentially. In some ways it's easier in certain parts than having a co-op partner but I would have definitely liked one on parts like the grav lift room fight in truth and rec, lol.

Following your respective video guides I was able to beat Hale CE and Halo 2 under 3 hours and now...finally...also got the Halo CE LASO Playlist achievement. No glitches used outside of the despawn trick on Two Betrayals (which you skipped ironically) and early Gondola in Regret. Now Im pumped to start Halo 2 LASO, hope I wont have to figure out the entire run by myself *wink-wink*. Thanks for your "regular guy" guides, wouldnt have been able to complete any of those without their help :)

[@brambo3011]

Hey Frog, great video as always. Just curious, but how were you able to have plasma grenades during 343 Guilty Spark? Do you spawn with them on that level? Otherwise shouldn’t foreign prevent you from getting them, or is there something weird with that level?

[@frogarchist]

for whatever reason you still have them in levels where you'd normally spawn with them I mention this in TB because it takes away the starting plasma pistol but not grenades

[@GreenSpleenSubmarine]

Getting onto the ship for Truth and Reconciliation was the hardest thing I've done in a video game save for the prison skip in Gravemind in Halo 2. I recorded every death for LASO for CE-4, and I had over 1,000 screencapped deaths that I have been tossing around the idea of making into a supercut. Edit: seeing you just completely skip that area hurt my feelings.

[@ghett0_tech228]

Frog I love your videos

[@FrostyFrostySnow]

What a crazy frog, he actually did it

[@calebbelchak2379]

My brother and I didn’t know about the ammo backpack reload when we did it coop. Our solution? Melee kill every flood. Save bullets for the carrier forms. Otherwise just melee kill. We hoarded shotgun shells and rockets till the last two ish rooms and burned through it all in a sprint to the Index. I think it took 8 hours for us to get through. Slow and steady, beating every combat form to death.

[@Spartan122S]

Crazy how I've beaten all of the LASO playlists in MCC and I'm hearing of all these new tricks I've never seen or used before!!!

[@sonsofisstvan1675]

I love you Frog

[@novavortex7763]

Mad respect mate, I completed every halo game on legendary expect halo 5 and infinite. and I also was crazy enough to play dark souls 1, 2, 3... Yeah I've had my fair share of madness I'm keeping my sanity and not touching LASO ever.. I also don't know why but I did not skip anything when I did my legendary run.. all those jackal snipers and bullet sponge knights..

[@Isabelle-mp8rk]

halo ce is such a unique laso, not being able to use covenant weapons + grunt funeral makes for such a unique playpattern compared to the other ones, when i did it a couple years ago i basically just followed halo completionists guides on it was a fun experience i never wanna do again.

Babe come quick! The frog posted

[@TonyTwoTaps]

I remember doing CE laso on mcc a few years ago, it was actually the most fun one to do out of all of them besides the library. Still haven’t been able to do halo 2 laso since I play solo but I completed reach, 3 and odst solo laso. Fun times

Hey man. Love the content. Why do I still see your reticle at the end of the pillar of autumn and on the next mission after afew deaths?

How'd you use plasmas with the foreign skull on to get the sentinel unstuck? Do you spawn with those or something?

[@KrazyRhino2410]

"I'm never gonna play that again because that was the opposit of fun" was so funny for some reason

[@LeroyJenkins781]

What I would do for the reticle problem is just put a piece of tape in the center of your monitor even if it's a really tiny piece of tape it still works as a reticle

[@ReaIHuman]

Laso ce is such a pain, there's only 2-3 missions that aren't a living hell.

I remember attempting this years ago and I only beat Pillar Of Autumn and that was enough brutality for me. LASO is the Anti-Fun of all time.

[@hoenheim94]

If you want someone to run through H2 LASO with in Coop to get a feel for the differences in approach let me know. Ive ended up guiding people through that LASO for a bit over a year now and Ive gotten pretty good at refining existing strategies and explaining them to my partners so that over time they get better at seeing places to improvise beneficially (especially relevant to manipulating enemies to beat them down for shields/overshields)

[@ZergrushEddie]

A memory from 23 years ago. My cousin and I were co-oping Legendary because I wanted to "see the real ending." We spent forever on it as we were young and incredibly bad. After failing over, and over and over and over again on the final mission we managed to make it to the end of the game and saw the infamous 'real ending.' My cousin sat there, stunned. "We did all that just to see a dude hug an alien?!" I still don't think he has forgiven me.

[@timdoyle4054]

Thank you for your sacrifice.

[@Nichi-Ji]

17:20 how did you get the plasma grenades with the foreign skull activated?

[@thenekromantik9814]

Id rather do Halo 2 or Reach Laso instead of CE because of the ammo/weapon skulls alone. Mad impressed you still did it, now speedrun it 😊
