I was going to say at least he did it in 4 hours, but then I remembered he dropped the difficulty. Sick burn, Alexs.

Halo 2 LASO is the reason I will never get 100% achievements in the MCC. Well, that and the fact there's 700 achievements.

[@WillemDafuq69]

I'm on my last 100 but I still don't forsee getting all LASO done

[@GoodGuyGigant]

Just wanted to point it out cus idk how often people comment on it but your script in this video (and many others) is really good, it's easy to follow and is very entertaining to listen to. Appreciate your hard work on these videos gangbeast

[@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.

EXCELLENT video, Frog! Even I won’t screw with Halo 2 LASO. At least not in true Mythic style with no saves and no deaths. I’m waaay to old for that BS now… 😂. Well done, bro 🙂

[@BLVINEOCKERMVN]

I've been following you for a while... and I know how many times you've made fun of or completely rejected the notion of a H2 LASO... the fact you did this, means you massively care about your base. Much respect dude lol the torture.

[@_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.

[@producedby3am344]

Wait. Was there not a single, "What is bro doing?" moment in this video. The dog on the couch would've been perfect for it.

[@TheReconJacob]

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.

[@wesjanson7073]

Congrats! Glad to see your channel is getting some good views. Halo 2 LASO was rough for sure, especially the load times when saving and quitting. 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. Sums up all my LASO runs for sure.

I did this on the OG one. Took four years. Had to save scum to each skull on a new profile because there was no menu option to turn them on. Only beat Tartarus because I brought in a Banshee. Different skulls then, but still damned hard. You have my respect for even starting down this road.

Imagening the damn brutes, who are like bullet sponges on my difficulty, on legendary + skulls... damn.

[@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.

[@EvilApple567]

My brother did all the LASOs, I think he said the worst part in any of them was the elevator section you did the Brute skip on Gravemind. Iirc he said it basically softlocked you since you got a checkpoint as you were coming down and got killed before being actionable requiring some kind of glitch/exploit as a workaround, but I don't think it was this one. Anyway great job pulling through on this, another very entertaining piece.

[@Legitti]

I've done that once too, never again. Total insanity 😂

[@TheSchnieder6]

I love when youtubers put in sneaky references to their upcoming videos. Can't wait for the Viva Piñata 100% video. But actually, I'm excited for the Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise video because I didn't play the first one, but that's fine I still like your videos.

[@DubNasty_]

Definitely a massive, but fun challenge. Me and a friend just did this laso full path, no skips since it's his first time playing the halo series so he could see all sections of the game. We only have 3 & 4 left in the MCC then we'll have completed all laso's for MCC

Damn. In the first level the sword "dash" technique is ULTRA helpful and in LASO in general. I still know where every freaking enemy is and where they spawn literally and the last time i did an LASO run in h2 was in 2006. 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
