Halo 2 (MCC) - Legendary Speedrun - The Great Journey - 9:03
Speedrunning the second level "The Great Journey" in Halo 2A on Legendary difficulty. // Settings : Game : Halo 2A on Steam (PC) Difficulty : Legendary Level : The Great Journey Time : 9:03 // Personal notes : My PB (9:03 with ingame timer) at moment of upload on 08/08/2022. My entry for HaloRuns' 2022 Grand Prix. PB'ed by over 2 minutes and a half when starting the grind. Start went pretty well. Didn't go for the IL strat where you board the wraiths, so just went with the easy deload, which is slower but more consistent. Gap jump was pepega, had to leave the ghost behind since my camo ran out and it was in an awkward spot to flip it over again. Brutes would have deffo got me there. Running away was sketchy. Very dumb part whether you can take the ghost there or not. The bridge was a bit sloppy, I'm not used to the h2 grenade throwing arc, so didn't get a lot of jackal kills. Camo'd a bit too early I think so the buggers were sketchy as well, but somehow survived. The prison section I don't know how to play on leg, so just did halo completionist strats. Cancelled over the brutes which was cool. The last fight before the scarab was bad, missed my sticky nade and the brutes scattered everywhere, the last one berserking was in an awkward spot to headshot. So lost a bit of time to the endfight. The spectre driving wasn't optimal, but you're on a timer there, so I was still on the right pace before the scarab started firing. Headshotted the bruteshot brute on the left at the final fight cause everybody does that for some reason, I don't know why exactly. Reinforcements where a sword elite which I don't have to kill and a minor elite, so was lucky an ultra didn't spawn. Johnson did some Johnson moment. But the duplicate Johnson trick went fast enough I guess. The Tartarus fight went well, except that a sword elite was in one of the Johson FOV to fire down his shields, so I might have lost a cycle on getting the kill on Tartarus. For some dumb reason I jumped down after Tartarsauce died, it's prolly safer to just stand on the top platform and wait, since you can die in the cutscene. Happy with this PB for now, since I never play this game :p // Footage and music used : ► Game: Halo 2 (MCC) made by Bungie ™ ► Thumbnail Image : Halo 2 (MCC) made by Bungie ™ ► Music: Halo CE and Halo 2 (MCC) made by Bungie ™ ► Captured with OBS Studios // Special thanks to : ► Haloruns: https://haloruns.com ► Sleek / sleekcrush (And all other halo runners that fuel the halo speedrunning community.)
