OMG! The level cleard for me after the bridge room and I didn't have to run back and activate the drop ship dock with Keyes!? :D

For the love of me I cannot pull of that rocket + grenade jump I usually launch myself away from the wall fsr, pray for me folks that I actually will pull it off

I cant get this god forsaken grenade jump work. I throw the grenades exactly at the same points and still the grenades go off at different times causing me not to get enough force

This guide was a huge help but I've never gotten such horrible checkpoints on the library before lol. I'd get a checkpoint every time I screwed up the infinite ammo glitch for the rocket launcher, even with grabbing the second rocket launcher it only dropped enough for one shot, so i had to just suck it up and only use the shotty.

My last attempt at this par score was on Heroic, and I had some 90k points with a 3x time multiplier when I got to the command room of the Covenant ship. All I had to do was double back, defend the Pelican, and finish the level. In that small amount of time, I watched my multiplier and score plummet from over twice the par score to 10k under it. Heroic isn't too bad, but I'm glad this guide recommends Normal difficulty.

I swear there's no logic to checkpoints in the Harbinger fight. I got one after the 1st wave and then no others. Luckily the first time the hammer chieftain showed up, I beat him and that wave.

Can confirm as of 8/24 that the Phaeton trick still works.

I'd recommend filling your shields before fighting Escharum - it'll get you the achievement for beating him without fully depleting your shields if you do.

Just accomplish it, thanks a lot !

2 years later, I’m like no. 420 on this vid. Nice.

perfect. made it easy, thank you

for anyone having trouble with getting the button combo to work, just try doing faster. I was able to kinda consistently get the brute to come with me, but every time i would just kill him. Make sure that if you keep killing the brute, just try doing it a little bit faster, and keep experimenting with the speed of the combo. (i was also on default controller)

that needle rifle through the door is so damn inconsistent

Arby and Chief should have been in Halsey's Office.

FUCK: I died _after_ getting the final shot off. It even played the final cutscene of the mission and then put me back to the beginning of the level. I am so angry right now!!!

For me _none_ of the Zealot elites retreat in the final room. They all stay in the main area making it super difficult to pick them off one by one :(

Strange LASO you have there. I was unable to kill elites down there at the Corvette with one rocket... You were! It's like you're playing not on the playlist and forgot to turn on Mythic skull.

i love trying to backsmack a fuel rod brute who always seems to spot me despite no enemies facing me

Ive tried for 3 years off and on and cant get that 1st grenade jump. Im falling melee distance short 97% of the time and 3% i actually dont get the boost

I tried this in custom games (solo & 1v1) and it didn’t pop. It did pop in a game of standard matchmaking a few minutes after I hit the third switch.

6:32 When you say things like "pretty advanced" and "very hard to get the timing down", I cringe as I recall taking 50 tries to duplicate things you say are easy. 😆

"You're going to need to grenade jump again by throwing the grenade right here." Me: Oh okay sweet we just did the other one. "We're going to do a hammer jump as well so it will be a combined grenade jump and hammer jump." Me: [having already swapped the hammer for a shotgun before starting the process] :l >:l

You can totally skip the tunnels with the warthog

Just spent 6 hours getting through this just for my game to crash at the 3 elites in the end 🙏

The checkpoints in this mission are garbage, the amount of times the game checkpoints mid death forcing a completely new run is infuriating.

it looks like saving and quitting to load the checkpoint no longer works. So this challenge might actually be basically impossible now.

7:03 the elites never leave in any of my runs, sometimes I get lucky and they move just enough to the left that I can nade run and bubble away from them. Its one of the major run enders for me. The second really big one is when your're at the mac cannon and enemies decide to move to the rock far up the left and stay there forcing you to jump down. Then they ofc immediately rush you... Last run I didnt get a DMR (probably fell off a cliff. No friendlies spawned and I had a marker way back in the map. Mission still worked, just became a lot harder so I got a 30 second decrease in time 🤣

I don’t think this was harder than T and R but man was it more annoying. Unlucky checkpoints, weapons disappearing, and chain reaction explosions. Couldn’t have done it without the guide, thanks Silver 🙏

Don’t let all the people complaining about the early jumps deter you from copying this run. I just put it in Easy mode and within 15 minutes I was reliably making all the jumps except for one of them after jumping the lava which I have to use a grenade jump for and I am not even good at glitches like this

Still works.

A great skip for these bridges is you can jump on top of the cross beam 25:47 a walk across the whole thing taking out the jackal sniper here and elite leading to the next area is safe but not needed

I got this achievement randomly while doing one of the play lists on Halo 4 without even realizing what it was. What a random achievement! XD

Just completed it, thank you so much man! It really helped.

Hell yeah brother

I can watch these all day. Silver was the best. Haven't seen him online in a long time but I hope he is doing well. Halo seemed like his passion.

This is 2 years late, but a really easy way to do this, apparently, is to not do it at all. I was playing through the campaign on Heroic, and stopped for the night near the end of Delta Halo (at the area where you drop down from the waterfall with all the Jackal snipers). I definitely used both a warthog and a tank during the level, but when I played the next day and beat the level, the achievement cleared. I think it only detects if you enterred a vehicle during the CURRENT play session. So really, all you'd need to do is play normally until you're forced out of your tank anyway, hit a checkpoint, save and quit, and then reload to finish the level.

the area where you are on foot is horrible for me. the engineer does not blow up after killing so many brutes. it camps behind the building on the right to the turret and protects all of the grunts and it just does not move. when it does come out, i just can’t kill it. i can use all of the carbine, plasma pistol and beam rifle ammo and it just does not die.

HOT TAKE: Cairo Station is the hardest LASO level in H2 not Gravemind and certainly not Regret (the early temple set up strat renders that fight comically easy). Sure that initial room might be the hardest section/checkpoint in the entire campaign but you have the two despawns to make it immensely easier and checkpoints in between fights/waves right before performing them, same with prison skip the timing and combo are hard to get down but you also get a checkpoint seconds before it with a perfect set up so you can just try over and over to your heart’s content until you get it with very little downtime between tries. IF you had to do that initial room with all of its waves or with further apart checkpoints or the prison itself or that very final all out brawl including those 4-5 elites at the end as the cherry on top (note that I said “or”) THEN there’ll be no contest, Gravemind would be the hardest since any of those sections are far more brutal than anything Cairo has to offer. But the fact is that you don’t, you skip all of them. All of the above turns this mission into a save&quit marathon/trick practice session more than the intense firefight that could’ve been. In Cairo there are no real skips, you have to kill pretty much everything and checkpoints only come after clearing hard sections. Taking 25 min. or so to clear those hangars methodically just to miss a jump or not getting behind cover in time just to get mowed down by plasma in the blink of an eye and waste all that time by resetting back can be pretty disheartening. Also having to babysit and shove Johnson’s uncooperative ass all over Cairo can be a major pain as well, more time consuming, taxing and stressful since it demands longer times of constantly being focused and on your toes by keeping one eye on him and the other on the swarm of enemies that plague the station. Still fun and rewarding to finish it tho. So yeah, if you can tackle H2 LASO’s biggest hurdle that sits right at the gate, be confident that you can finish the rest of it since you won’t face another obstacle like it again. Finishing this playlist was so challenging and fun and honestly could not have done it without Silver’s guides so for that he forever has my utmost gratitude.

For anyone doing LASO after they patched the skip; Grab a rocket launcher. Makes the level relatively easy, just sit far away and slowly pick everything off with the SPANKR.

I messed up the melee exploit and got a checkpoint going down the lift 😢I just finished it rn after 24 or so deaths 😂

08/12/2024 and still works.

I tried this mission four an hour and you make it look so easy

Hey man, I love the content and videos. I was doing halo infinite lasso, and some of the glitches have been bug fixed so maybe you can make an updated guid for that? Idk im selfish and miss your content lol hope you are well

10:11 “aHHHHHHH” 😭😭

Late to the party but still with some small tips from my experience running this mission. Just passing along the knowledge to future Halo LASO runners. The obvious 2 sections where you are very likely to get stuck on: 1.- In the initial room after you do the first despawn and have to come out to kill 5/7 and go up top to get ready for carbines really gave me trouble. I couldn’t replicate what Silver did about crouching behind the pedestal so what worked for me was to kill as many as possible (preferably 1 of the brutes) wait for a chance to go up top and kill the remaining from up there (much slower and annoying but was able to finally do it with no shields, very little plasma ammo and well placed nades). 2.- For the prison skip, I advise to get the headshot on the jackal, you could throw a nade or ignore him but this made the attempts more consistent for the set up. Now, when going inside the lift area I was getting the timing pretty consistently but after probably close to 50 attempts couldn’t get the brute above me AND within melee range so what worked for me was to look up once positioned in front of the lift (the brute will throw a nade right before this) and check if the trap door was open: a) If it is you have to see him go up a little, wait a little bit and jump in once you see the motion of him coming back down so you get pulled down before him. b) If it’s closed (easier imo and how I ended up getting it) you have to jump in right after he does (also be looking up) an line up so you are directly below him, he will quickly bounce back from the closed trap door and stand on your head, the lift will take both of you down and you will be pretty much touching him ideal for the melee combo, crouch once to get slightly below him if he keeps on shooting you. The timing for the combo is the same as the BXB combo so if you haven’t been using it you might want to practice it and get a feel for it but basically you want to cancel with X/reload right after jump & melee BUT without overlapping both actions, again same as BXB. And that’s it, no other sections are worth mentioning, just be ready for a lot of downtime and not so much gameplay from saving and quitting a lot (both from dying but mainly from retrying the various skips since the timing and conditions are fairly precise). This is the last real challenge towards Back for More, good luck.

any way to do the banshee consistently? Or do you just try until you get it

any idea why I use seeker drone, and I get blown up? pretty much screws me for an achievement of using one of each

every time I use seeker drone I get blown up.....using 360 controller, left bumper and end up going ka-boom.....

the amount of banshees with the shade turrets at the end is going to make me kill myself
