Me and my friend have finally finished our off and on again project of Halo 2 Legendary. Let me tell you, it was hell. The forced Iron Skull for Co-Op on Legendary made it so painful and we got locked in place so many times. I feel like by that point we should have just gone and done LASO lol. I took this screenshot right before the main boss fight. This was literally such a cathartic moment for me and my friend as Halo 2 has been a project since at least last may.

For the boss fight, It was late, and we both wanted it to be over, so what we did was fly a Banshee into the boss arena and just laid into him with it. It was actually a lot of fun fighting the boss with a banshee, and it was definitely a lot easier then the section before.

Throughout the final level, you have to escort this big ass thing called a Scarab. What me and my friend ended up doing was parking our Banshees on the Scarab and riding thing, using it as cover so we didn’t have to fight anything. The thing was bouncing around like crazy, but it stayed.

There was also an earlier level we had to play, and we found this bit of flood growth(?) that kind of looks like a face.

I also noticed that the game puts a lot of trust in the player not to shoot their teammates and be a dick. Like this elevator ride up where you’re in prime position to inconvenience any Co-Op partners you have.

After this, me and my friend plan to move onto Halo 3 Legendary and then circle back to reach before moving onto 4. I’m sadly still not done with Halo 2 Legendary though. For whatever reason I didn’t get the achievement for completing the level Oracle on legendary, and my compulsion to try and get perfection for the achievements won’t let me rest until i do. I think i’ll try and open a ticket with Halo MCC support first, because i’m extremely sure i was under all the right conditions for my completion to be considered valid. If not, i guess i’ll have to do it again. It’s a shame because the boss fight on Oracle was the worst on Legendary. Once im finished with Halo 3 though, i get the privilege of saying i beat Halo on legendary (with Co-Op of course)
