Frequently Asked Questions

You may have some questions regarding Mythic in terms of what it involves, who can do it, what methods are allowed, and what is considered cheating. Below are the questions I get asked the most.

Q. What is "Mythic Difficulty"?
A. Mythic is defined as playing the game on legendary with all 13 skulls activated. Additionally, the player must be able to complete each mission without dying or saving.

Q. Can just the Gold skulls be turned on, or do the Silver skulls also need to be activated?
A. All skulls means all skulls, both Gold and Silver. And yes, that means the Blind skull too.

Q. Is there any special ending once you beat the game on Mythic?
A. No. Though the Legendary ending has an extended scene tacked on to the end, there is no special ending just for Mythic.

Q. Do you get new armor for beating the game on Mythic? Does Bungie reward you?
A. No. There is no tangible "reward" for beating the game on Mythic. No Recon armor. No special Elite katana. The satisfaction of beating the game at its best is the only reward you will gain. Ah, and plenty of bragging rights.

Q. Can a friend help me complete the game on Mythic?
A. No. Mythic = Solo. Two or more players = Co-Op.

Q. Does scoring need to be turned on?
A. It's up to you, but it's one of the best ways to prove you've actually done it. Well, that and saving it to your file share. If you want to prove your authenticity to your friends, turn it on. If you don't care whether or not they believe you and you're doing it solely for your own self worth, then it doesn't matter.

Q. Does using the Save & Quit trick count towards completing a mission?
A. No, since it defeats the purpose of the Iron skull. One of the most challenging aspects of Mythic is being able to beat the level without dying.
