@@WillemDafuq69 we get about two levels in per sesh we are at level 6 or 5 I believe now, eh the one before library. The guy is immortal in Valorant so he picks games up rather quickly. So far Halo CE has been a breeze it's not what I've been worrying about except for the library, truth and reconciliation was also pretty hard because we didn't use any glitches. We have a long way to go through but after halo 2 it's all down hill luckily

[@Aquasition1]

Speaking as someone who did this challenge, this mode breaks people. You don't want to know how bad Regret, Gravemind, or even the Oracle was for me.

[@levi22es]

Regret and Gravemind, and even Cairo Station pushed me to my mental breaking point. I nearly lost my mind trying to finish those levels.

[@Aquasition1]

@@levi22es Gravemind was a pain because I didn't have a good idea of how the checkpoint system worked. Turns out, on original hardware, if you take HP damage, the checkpoints become incredibly scarce. My guess is that the Black Eye skull doesn't regenerate HP, and to get non-specific checkpoints, you need full HP. So, I'd get pretty far until I inevitably died, then started back over from the beginning.

[@DubNasty_]

@@Aquasition1 honestly i was very surprised that gravemind and regret werent as bad as I thought they would be. From my experience Cairo station was easily the hardest level in halo 2 laso as it took my friend and I about 5 hours to complete it, and for context both regret and gravemind took about 3 hours each with no skips/ full path including prison section. Hardest laso level still goes to truth and reconciliation with it taking my friend and I more than 7 HOURS!!!

[@MythicTyrant]

Top three hardest Halo 2 missions on Legendary for sure. At least without all of the glitches. Lord, the were such a pain when I did my deathless Legendary walkthroughs for them…

[@Aquasition1]

@@DubNasty_ Yeah, Cairo Station, Regret, and Gravemind are easily the hardest levels. It took me about 14 hours for CS, 17 for Gravemind, and at least 20 for Regret. Yes, this is taking skips into account. It took me hours just to figure out that I can still explosive jump to Regret using Plasmas instead of Frags (didn't have any). Even then, it took a few tries - I'd end up dying at the doorway when I spawned everyone in. Gravemind... Well, my previous post's comment about checkpoints, also it took a lot of time to get the Prison Skip. CS Was mostly me getting stuck on the second Boarding Pod, as I was unaware of the box turret trick. Once I learned about that, it got easier. The reason why I mention the Oracle is because I was playing the original game, on Xbox (using a trainer to turn the skulls on). Thing is, I don't know if the invinciibility trick works on that version, so I didn't try. The Heretic Leader was... pretty bad.

[@legofilmsable]

One of the proud few here; Halo 2 and Halo CE LASO are complete hell to go through. Friend and I spent about 8 hours in the first ship room on Truth and Rec. We did it though, and I have all 700 MCC achievements to this day.

[@santiagogarciazapata7422]

Glad to know that people are still playing this game. Classic. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had was completing the original trilogy in Legendary and, of course, Halo 2 was the hardest.

[@_Crowuh]

I'm aware that you do it as a joke, but I do personally appreciate it when you describe something as 'easy' and still show you failing it. When I was doing my own Monopolized run, some things that I struggled to do for a while were described as 'easy' and were done in one try in all the tutorials because they're successful runs. It was pretty demoralising to fail these particular parts. It's nice to show a good player failing something once or twice too.

Man, I got the LASO Master achievement, and I have so many fond memories. For each game, including and especially Halo 2, I probably took even longer than you did by like 3x the amount before I got the achievement. But despite the frustration, I have such fond memories of it and actually remember finding it FUN. I seem to have enjoyed it even more than my regular and Legendary runs. Either way, glad you managed to beat the hardest game in the franchise.

[@Angel-qp9mp]

Same, I get nostalgic for it, but also because it was good memories overcoming something with a friend.

[@TranquillShot]

I once spent so long trying to do Halo 3 laso with a childhood friend that the MCC servers actually crashed and burned before we got halfway through the first level lmfao.

I couldn't do the Gravemind prison skip and fought the prison legit using some old Jervalin videos for strats. It's crazy that him and a couple of other people have done this run deathless. I'd never make it past Cario hangar 1 lol. Btw the picture of the frog with the caption "I was so mad" at 5:14 made me laugh and has been stuck in my head since I watched this.

Also nice to know that you can get the banshee in diff way into the endboss room.. i did it an other way with just slapping his wings off so it can fit in the regular door to get into the zone where brutes etc come from the right door which were easy to deal with the banshee
