These kids pick the ugliest pictures of me lmfao. This was probably the funniest yet most in depth coverage of this challenge, thanks a bunch for these last few weeks.
Congratulations, what an amazing achievement. Out of all the billions of people on this planet, only one person has completed this challenge. And that’s you. Pop bottles, you more than deserve it.
Really incredible. You're a legend
Dude you're amazing!
Congrats
it's mwonti, i knew you had it in you.
Jerv had to sacrifice A LOT of time over the last month to get this done. I love that his wife and son celebrated with him because it probably wasn’t easy having him spend all that time bringing home the bounty.
Yeah but I bet $20k for a month of work is pretty sexy.
@@PosthumanHeresy but he had other work aswell. And this looks EXTREMELY stressful, not knowing if he'd truly get it either
@@bldontmatter5319 True, just... 20k in one shot can change a life.
Working full time then streaming 6 hrs/night; they pretty much didn't see him for a month. Family was playing Life at Home LASO lol

Without the insane prize money as an incentive, I don’t think anyone would’ve been able to do this challenge so quickly. Congrats to Jerv, he earned it and became an absolute legend.
true
you could make more money just getting a job instead of wasting time on this
@qucciret knoops tell me what kind of person can get the necessary skills to do this in 40 days. anime loser
@maximaldinotrap they made small amounts because they aren't large streamers.
@@Blox117 Some of these guys were making money from the streams doing this. For some of them streaming is their job.
@@Blox117 20k in 40 days tell me what job pays that without a degree????????
@@Blox117 He made at least 30k in the past 40 days from streaming + prize
Hearing Jervalins family erupt in joy was one of the best things I've seen this year. So wholesome and extremely well deserved and earned!
True!
I cried
A combination of taking on other people's advice, and thinking on his feet. Great to watch
That was one of my favorite parts!
Yea that was awesome
I don't think I could beat normal halo without dying this is amazing.
True
I still have difficulty even on easy mode 😅
No need to be ashamed
yeah you can believe in yourself
@@user-zs5pl7oo1d this. Just believe
I truly believed that, while not impossible, the challenge was so horrifically merciless that it would take months for anyone to get close and years for anyone to succeed. Lord am I glad I was wrong.
Not that he isn't insanely good, he is. But i think this is a combination of an insane man with insane skills, and all of the stars aligning for the most insane luck of probably any run of any game period.
I don't think i've seen even a speedrun have that much midgame recoveries and get world first.
@@ChristopherGray00 I think it's also the fact that he spent years labbing out enemy behaviors, physics engine exploits, etc. He's probably got a deeper understanding of how the game functions than anyone else on the planet.
True
@@SpringdayAutumnmoon yeah. People who started this challenge were founding out tricks and plays that jervalin found years ago. It was amusing to see
@@ha-kh7ef yup. He’s even done a deathless laso before the challenge but with envy on.
It was incredibly heartwarming seeing how hype his family was getting. This guy made video game history.
Amen
I actually cried watching that bit haha

I love how even with a big chunk of prize money on the line, what provided a critical breakthrough was players coming together to try and help the best of them have the best chance possible of winning. This collaboration of finding tips and tricks for the entire community was what really defined Halo from the outset, way back in the earlier era of the internet, and that spirit carries over to this day.
heh. a "critical" breakthrough
Jervalin himself said that the Gravemind prison skip was discovered the day before and it was implemented for the first time on that run. It took that plus the crazy hard High Charity skip and he nailed both first try of the day.
Absolute history. Truly a badass moment for the whole community. So sick
🙏amen
@@SuzGSXR You're sad tbh
34:53 - that's the real reward right there guys. Nothing like having your people rooting for you.
That Great Journey near-softlock was the craziest thing ever. He got shot at by the phantom on Bridge, and that one shot still being loaded in made the game consider him to be 'unsafe', stopping him from being able to load the cutscene leading him to the next section of the level, hence why he had to backtrack. Scary stuff.
Yeah, I can only imagine the stress that put him through.
That clip of jervalin and his dog Lmaoo
Can I have the time stamp for it
@@Warriorx269nope
@@Warriorx269Here it is buddy 2:56
It’s just what huskies do
As someone who’s normal Legendary Run was ended by gravemind over a year ago. I might have to stick to the grind cause this story reminded me of how Legendary Halo 2 is. It’s always been my favorite game
True
I've done the OG halo trilogy on legendary pretty often (LASO only once) and yes halo 2 made me lose 10 years on my life, I can't even comprehend trying to do it deathless
It took me multiple days to beat Gravemind coop. We kept getting stuck on the entrance room. This is just unfathomable to me
Legendary is not fun, i can’t imagine spending days in hours attempting this LASO run deathless. I bet if he didn’t have the streamer and family support etc he would’ve been much more miserable. Legend though, and don’t get me wrong it’s still a legendary game💯
You should get back on it it’s extremely rewarding to finish the campaign in legendary especially when you get to watch the secret cutscene that usually you can only find on UA-cam
I watched this stream live. This stream was different from the beginning, Jervalin had an entirely different air about him. The whole day felt different, the feeling of "this is the day, this is the run" was palpable. Previous attempts at Gravemind had all been nerve racking, stressful, but this day, this stream? He went into Gravemind with joy; his demeanor calm, cool, collected. The new prison skip tech was a breath of life into hope. He even had a scuffed entry into the prison lift room, but the tech was so simple, SO consistent, that it didn't matter. Jervalin's skills were beyond perfection, Jervalin merely needed it to be possible. With Jervalin, 'possible' was more akin to 'probable'. The whole stream was amazing to watch and be a small part of.
Jesus christ its not that deep man
@@Drift4x It's deep to me. ❤️
True
@@Drift4x Is it so wrong to express thoughts and feelings about something huge like this?
@@Drift4x Your a 🤡
The dog jumping on him is exactly what my Siberian husky would do to me too when i'm in the middle of something like sea of thieves, dark souls or monster hunter. But congrats on him making challenge history and even getting recognition from bungie for clearing that challange.
My cat. (Who is also my palico in gane) loves to jump on my lap mid hunt and nearly screw me
Now this is the breakdown i was waiting for... and kinda expecting from this channel. Nice!
True!
Holy shit, this video actually made me tear up. Hearing his family come and cheer for him was immediately heartwarming and gave me goosebumps, and then seeing how everyone was watching and cheering really makes you realize how much of an achievement this really was. Jervalin absolutely fucking deserves this record, with MAAD props to the guy who found the skip.
I've never even played Halo 2, but I think this speaks to all gamers around the world.
lmao cringe
@@LordConstrobuz Shut up.
@@LordConstrobuz😂😂😂😂
I'm not a Halo fan, but this challenge has been one of the most intriguing things in video game challenge runs I've ever had seen. Absolutely fascinating how this went from a simple competition of "who can do it first?" to "can it even be done?" and seeing the community rally together to prove it possible is a true testament to human ingenuity and endurance.
I love just how much of a collaborative effort this all was. It would have been so easy for these players to keep the prison skip trick to themselves, instead they gave a full rundown of how it worked and passed it on to their competition. Thats fucking awesome.
Literally everything could’ve went wrong on the run, Jackals spotted him, Flood Spotted him, Brute joined the glitch
This journey was brought to my attention by your channel and I was able to watch Jerv's attempts. Of course I was working thru the actual run though haha
Yeah!
I like that u were trolling him during his runs 🤣
Frayser and SomewhatCuddlyHammer are grinding it out in Halo 2 Anniversary as well, which plays differently from Jervalin's classic Halo 2. Mad respect.
Another certified hood classic
It's honestly amazing that he was able to beat it and get the 20k, he deserves it so much
I honestly expected this challenge to last a few months maybe not even be finished for the rest of the year
I think penguin used something like "halo surgeons" to describe the guys competing. If i were in his position id easily pay that much to see the amazing show they put on. Halo 2 felt like it had stadiums around it.
As someone who appreciates any form of timeless art, watching peoples respect for halo 2's challenge reinvigorate was something to behold.
Thank you Penguin, thank you OG/next Generation Halo community and thank you Bungie
I tried hard to make it but honestly, of all people that could have won it besides me, I'm SO Glad it was him, dude. Seeing all the friendly and excited people watching/participating in this challenge was not only breathtaking, but fulfilling. The Halo community has felt so cold and isolated to me the past few years, but it's great to see the good side of it through this challenge, and his victory. Amazing stuff! History has been made
absolutely fantastic documentation. I don't have the time, patience, or knowledge to watch and appreciate the whole run (including other runs as well) so thank you for making this. It was an absolutely blast
12:50 I literally tried this grenade strat with that brute myself about 20 times back when I was getting the LASO master achievement. I only manage to knock the brute into the lift once or twice, and I wasn't able to get in there with him.
After the Goliath run he’s going to try the Hellen Keller run. He’s going to gouge out his own eyes and fill his ears with cement and do a laso run
I'd been watching jerv's attempts just about every night, and the night he got it, I just got home from work and loaded up the stream right as he did the prison skip, and man, the rest of that stream was electric. Such an incredible moment, and I'm glad you did the previous video on it as I honestly had no idea it was happening before then.
I’ve seen him beat each lvl individually multiple times. The hard part is doing it all without dying. An 8 hour challenge with no mistakes.
I LOVE THIS ADVENTURE SO MUCH i watched so much of jervs streams this was the most wholesome thing bringing the community together i really wanna see more of this from halo......
Amen
Congrats to my guy Jerv for achieving the impossible. On a side note, I do think Frayser and SomewhatCuddlyHammer deserve a little cash reward for their contributions to the winning run but hey, it's not an obligation or anything, maybe Charlie can hook them up lol.
History was made, that stream was awesome.
The way he managed to save that prison skip was amazing.
Dude's a legend!! May his name forever go down in history as the man who conquered Halo 2 Laso Deathless. I just watched his Livestream and his last recovery was as intense as that scene in Endgame where Thanos almost snaps before Captain Marvel stops him. Jervalin is The Monument To All Our Sins.
cant wait for the halo 1 laso without dying challenge.
I will do you one better. Halo 3 Laso Deathless
Over h2? Considering h2 is the hardest legendary halo.
@@34pimpdog It Might Be But It's still A Fun Idea lol
@David Meza I was going to mention that mission originally and the library would be a pain though.
@@Zenjougahara nah it's way easier to skip/glitch win halo 1

In case if anyone doesn’t understand: A chair is a type of seat, typically designed for one person and consisting of one or more legs, a flat or slightly angled seat and a back-rest. They may be made of wood, metal, or synthetic materials, and may be padded or upholstered in various colors and fabrics. Chairs vary in design. An armchair has armrests fixed to the seat; a recliner is upholstered and features a mechanism that lowers the chair's back and raises into place a footrest; a rocking chair has legs fixed to two long curved slats; and a wheelchair has wheels fixed to an axis under the seat. Chairs can be made from wood, metal, or other strong materials, like stone or acrylic. In some cases, multiple materials are used to construct a chair; for example, the legs and frame may be made from metal and the seat and back may be made from plastic. Chairs may have hard surfaces of wood, metal, plastic, or other materials, or some or all of these hard surfaces may be covered with upholstery or padding. The design may be made of porous materials, or be drilled with holes for decoration; a low back or gaps can provide ventilation. The back may extend above the height of the occupant's head, which can optionally contain a headrest. Chairs can also be made from more creative materials, such as recycled materials like cutlery and wooden play bricks, pencils, plumbing tubes, rope, corrugated cardboard, and PVC pipe. In rare cases, chairs are made out of unusual materials, especially as a form of art or experimentation. Raimonds Cirulis, a Latvian interior designer, created a volcanic hanging chair that is handmade out of volcanic rock.Peter Brenner, a Dutch-born German designer, has created a chair made from lollipop sugar - 60 pounds (27 kg) of confectioners' sugar. Ergonomic design distributes the weight of the occupant to various parts of the body. This is done by having an easily adjustable seat height. A seat that is higher results in dangling feet and increased pressure on the underside of the knees ("popliteal fold"). It may also result in no weight on the feet which means more weight elsewhere. A lower seat may shift too much weight to the "seat bones" ("ischial tuberosities"). Gas springs are attached to the body of the chair in order to give height adjustment and more comfort to the user. Some chairs have foot rests. Around 15% of women and 2% of men need foot rests, even at the 16-inch (41 cm) chair height. A stool or other simple chair may have a simple straight or curved bar near the bottom for the sitter to place their feet on. Actual chair dimensions are determined by measurements of the human body or anthropometric measurements. The two most relevant anthropometric measurement for chair design is the popliteal height and buttock popliteal length. For someone seated, the popliteal height is the distance from the underside of the foot to the underside of the thigh at the knees. It is sometimes called the "stool height". The term "sitting height" is reserved for the height to the top of the head when seated. For American men, the median popliteal height is 16.3 inches (41 cm) and for American women it is 15.0 inches (38 cm).The popliteal height, after adjusting for heels, clothing and other issues, is used to determine the height of the chair seat. Mass-produced chairs are typically 17 inches (43 cm) high.Researchers such as Mary Blade and Galen Cranz found that sitting on the edge of a high stool with feet on the floor is less harmful for the lower back than sitting up straight on a conventional chair.
I almost cried seeing his sons reaction, that’s so adorable, and his wife’s scream, what a lucky man
Your coverage of this and the final doc you made are truly great pieces of journalism. I hope you're proud of the work you did because you deserve 4 (light) pats on the back
Imagine, years from now
LASO deathless has become a speedrun category
I’m so glad your original video came up in my recommended so that I could watch all of this live. Arguably the most exciting thing to happen for Halo in a long time.
i just have to tell you, this video was so well edited and narrated, i was enthralled the whole time, amazing job rocket sloth!
The fact the run had a 7 in it
REAL halo moment
He was very inspirational he motivated me to beat Halo 3 on LASO yesterday and i did now im doing Halo 1
If you can complete CE then you should be good to go for the rest of the games up until Halo 2. CE isn't all that bad but some parts are definitely MUCH worse than others. I got pretty lucky with my playthrough and completed it within 2 sessions. Truth and Reconciliation is the deal breaker for a lot of people, especially the landing pad followed by the hanger. It's brutal.
@@MintyLime703 im stuck in the room with all the enemies and all the doors are lock been stuck there for 2 days
Seeing his family cheering for him when he finishes is just the cherry on top
I love how supportive his wife was. That was adorable.
What we always did growing up on uprising on OG xbox, after Johnson blows up the door, just fly your banshee thru the door and you will have it in the boss fight.
Good Job, Jerv
This is the greatest moment in Halo history. Congrats Jervalin. He truly is a halo legend
I love it when speedrunners get celebrating family members. It's so heartwarming.
I attempted halo 2 Legendary and died almost as soon as the first encounter began
Be ready for that to happen *a lot*. Halo 2 is my last Legendary run in MCC, and I've died an insane amount of times. It's extremely frustrating, but worth it if you can pull it off.
Just watching everyone band together on completing this merciless stone cold bounty, was absolutely beautiful. Sharing strats, sharing milestones, and sharing epic fails and epic successes, it was definitely a journey for sure, and watching Jervalin close his run out, with his family right behind him, really brought a tear to my eye, that was so wholesome. Even after the bounty was successfully claim, me and others are still pushing to do the merely unforgiving challenge ourselves. This video was absolutely nice to watch, and no I am not touching the Vista version. XD
their reactions are so wholesome good for him and his family :)
...Doctor Halsey appears to Jervalin with an offer.
The wife celebration was wholesome as hell
I've never felt more invested than watching this vid. Like legit was rooting every inch for the homie.
11:15 Hz already means “per second” unless I’m mistaken, MCC would run at 60hz (60 ticks per second), not 60hz per second (3600 ticks per second). I know it’s pedantic I’m sorry. It’s just a little technicality. Not a huge deal. Great vids on the challenge 💕
Nerd
That's not how that works
Main point is yes but 60Hz/sec would be a unit of acceleration - (ticks per second) per second
60 hz = 60 FPS. Frames per second. Original xbox and 360 both ran at 30 hz or 30 frames per second max.
His family being there to celebrate was so awesome
Loved seeing everyones reactions they are priceless
Was so sick seeing this live
I wasn't expecting to cry while watching this but when he did it and his family was there. It just got me. What sucks is I'm at work.
That shit got me emotional too. Very wholesome.
Seeing how supportive and loving his wife is warmed my heart. It was adorable.
Man this whole challenge was great! Hell, seeing his family cheer him on like that actually made me teary eyed.
I've been saying throughout this challenge that this challenge was like OG Ninja Warrior. Mission 1 was like Stage 1 where it removes all those who are mainly playing for lolz, missions 2 - 9 is like stage 2 where it puts those who are actually trying to the real test, missions 10 - 12 is stage 3 where the challenge hits overdrive and you need to master all your senses and abilities where 1 mistake may cost you everything in the blink of an eye, and mission 13 is stage 4 which is the home stretch mastering tricky scenarios and a boss battle that is deceivingly difficult.
You got me every time with those "but then it went wrong"
11:02. says the MCC version runs at "60 hertz per second". Hertz already means "Per Second", so basically he said MCC runs at 60 ticks/second/second (60 times per second in each second). that would mean the speed at which the game runs would increase exponentially, instead of at 60hz constantly.
I wonder how badly the game would break down if you made a mod like that lol
"Can you beat Halo 2 if the tickrate increases by 60 every second."
it wouldn't be exponentially, but yeah
I wish 343 had created and released a signature armor piece in Infinite to pay tribute to Jerv. Like a flaming crown 👑 above your helmet. An achievement like that deserves it. And everyone should know that its all because of Jervalin.

Imagine the anxiety of having 50,000 people watching to see if you choke a 6 hour perfect run.
His wife's reaction is so priceless
It's amazing that one guy can get so many people to do such a challenge.
And I can’t even beat it on regular legendary
Lol I did my second playthrough on legendary as a kid, and have no idea how I had the patience to actually beat it like that.
Thank you so much for this video and the other one you made, if it were not for you making this video I would have never have know about this Halo 2 Deathless LASO Challenge to start with. This game was my childhood like it was for many more people, so again thank you.
Finally
His family was so hype because he could finally start spending time with them again...
Historical achievement, I want this taught in schools
Ahhhhh the clip of him getting attacked by his dog is perfect, what a gamer!
Dog: your stressed let me help you
Jervalin:ohh, ohhh, stoppp it!
Finally? I'm shocked it got beaten at all.
Take a shot every time Rocket Sloth says "not out of the woods yet."
This was very well presented. I actually watched all the way through... his kid's reaction and his wife was what really made this special for me... Quite a ride...
2:57
Vicious dog attacks gamer while he commits self-torture.
I got to see Jervalin pull this off live. Was a good day.
What an awesome experience for him!!! I'm glad it happened to someone without much recognition, well that's all changed now!!! Good for you mate, well deserved and so happy for him and his supportive family! I never thought watching someone play a game would bring joy to myself!! Way to go!! We witness a legend in the making!!
Wait so the winning run was the one where the high charity skip was first done in practice but also the first time the prison skip had been accomplished? He managed to pull off both first try in the same run? what a blessed run
I can only think of 1 final challenge to top this one. Same concept, Leg, and all skulls on minus Envy but, glitchless and all parts played through.... No skips
Honestly the fact that the challenge was beaten is not even the best part of this, the absolute frenzy of activity, cooperation and just good old fashioned fun that was on display in the community was honestly great, and I say this as an outsider, I had not watched much of any Halo 2 content before this challenge, but all of a sudden, everywhere I turned someone was trying this challenge and everyone was cheering them on, it was fucking great. I had a blast even though I did nothing more than observe.
Wow, That was insane. Man seeing how much saves he had on his final run and just how intense it was by just watching. Good Job Jervalin
Oh yeah, I was there, was so beautiful
0:53 is the greatest thing I've seen all week, I NEED that image of the level select menu with the elusive and often forgotten levels of Castle Reserve and Interpreter
Time for a LASO "NO GLITCHES" run
Pretty sure Jervalin is doing LASO melee only. Wild.
watching it live was so sick. seeing his family there celebrating almost made me tear up
I know a lot of videos about this achievement have been made, but damn rocket sloth, you knocked this one out of the park. A great summary with lots of explanation and hype music. Very well put together, deffo one of my favourite videos on this channel when it comes to the halo community itself :)
Did Zoo's unfortunate sword fly really make this final edit! Omg
watching this after having watched the replay of his entire run, a lot of things make a lot more sense. An awesome summary video
This is amazing. At the end, for the next challenge, I was expecting to hear Halo 2 LASO deathless glitchless. I personally find the run with the glitches more interesting, but I know these glitches are used to skip difficult sections. Of course the glitches themselves are hard to pull off, but there is still a lot more that has yet to be done. Looking forward to it.
Speaking as someone who hasn't watched Halo speed-runs and records until this challenge, it's honestly been the most exciting Halo related things I can remember since the golden days. I'm sad it's over, but will definitely follow JerValiN as he goes for other records now.
Some would say that Jervalin
