After watching all these speedrun videos and hearing your voice for hours and hours while playing video games by myself, I feel like you and I have gotten real close Eli.
Holy crap thank you Naked Eli this really helped! Using this tutorial allowed me to blow through the level. For some reason on the part where you jump up the rocks and kill the elite with the sword I wasn't able to go fast enough and ended up having to take out a few grunts and jackels there as well, but otherwise this makes getting the Legendary setting seem pretty fun and easy instead of frustrating.
Nice video! Gotta love/hate that noob combo. One thing about the active camo in the campaign, it's not completely useless. I found it pretty good for dealing with the two ghosts halfway through this level. It's pretty fun to crouch and use camo, wait till they turn and headshot the grunts driving with the carbine. It's not great if you're trying to speedrun but for people who like to play around it can be pretty satisfying.
Now that I've had practice with LASO, Legendary feels like a piece of cake. I would recommend trying LASO if your having trouble. Be determined to beat the mission. You will get a little bit better at it and soon enough, you'll be completing legendary solo!
aw man and there i thought i was pretty much the only one using the plasma+carbine combo in campaign lol, makes short work of everything, also really love the needlers against elites, beam rifles can help too, i usually just pick up a needler or beam to clear that area and then pick back up my reliable nuke combo
When you have pressed all the buttons in the first room with sentinels, the 'star power' (as you called it) is an hardlight shield-armor ability, which can be very useful if you are under fire
I wished I watched this before I completed the campaign on legendary. I remember this mission took me hours to complete, and this was with friends too.
yeah same here but they did take quite a few and i dont blame them for being a little cautious they had some huge shoes to fill and they did a fantastic job with the first of their trilogy
I love Nak3dHalo/Nak3dEli. Before Halo 4 came out, I used to almost never go to his channel for news, it was always the bigger news people. Now, I totally regret that. All of the other Halo 4 news people are always so bland, bringing NO humor to the videos. But, Nak3dHalo is amazing and hilarious. I can't think of any other Legendary walkthrough that I would rewatch just for how much I love the uploader and the comedy. YOU DA BOMB MOSTLY UNCLOTHED GAMER!
Great videos, thanks! I'm not as sure as you that active camo is useless however - I remember using it pretty effectively during a few parts. I think the difference is you just have to move slower so that you get full invisibility. When the beam rifle guy saw you at about 8:20, you were moving too fast for the active camo to cloak you - an attentive human player would have seen you too!
That sword elite won't always charge you, but my experience may have been a special case. I was standing on the rocks that act as an additional ledge and he popped out and just looked at me. Gave me enough time to calmly pull out the PP and headshot.
Wow, I never really noticed that Warthog part in the beginning was like Halo Wars until you mentioned it. Halo Wars is such a great game. I don't know why it got so much hate.
I don't know what you did wrong but on my first legendary playthrough camo helped me alot in this mission go behind cover use camo and you can crouch walk almost right up their ass without them noticing
for skull challenges keep the camo, its the only way you can kill the elites with out needing to stick them with 2 plasmas and head shoting them also snipe all the grunts in the phantom drop and get a ghost to run over the elites then if you do it right use the concusion rifle from the elite to push the sniper tower off so you can take the ghost with you which proves invaluable against the nearly imortal elites and the camo does work go slow and assasinateing the elites is a quickest with skulls
thank you soooo much I already beat the campaign on legendary for mark vi armor but it said for 2 levels I didn't and I didn't feel like going through all that shit again, thanks man your a boss
You unlock specializations at SR50. Since you got the limited edition you can pick any then you have 10 more levels. If you didn't get limited you would only have 2 options atm, then more later
You probably already know this, but if you go the right-hand-side, there's a Sniper rifle on top of the broken ship. Useful for taking out those Elites later. There's also a Saw there. I'm a bit disturbed at just how short these chapters are so far. They're also very easy, and you can skip most of the enemies. (I'm playing on Heroic, will do Legendary when I finish.) I hope it gets a lot, lot harder!
Bungie has confirmed that Jun is still very much alive after the events of Halo Reach. I think they just forgot to kill him until it was too late to program a scene for it so they just let him escort Halsey. Interesting note. Spartans are never listed as being "killed in action" to maintain morale. Dead Spartans are listed as "missing in action" instead. Officially, Jun is one of few Spartans to be truly MIA.
So I started trying your tactics immediately after I saw this and I kept dying. I kept calm by repeating "NakedEli can do it so I can too" over and over. :D I ended up doing it! I think I'll have The campaign completed on legendary thanks to you! :D
like TheToaster said, practice first on heroic. Once you're able to pick off the enemies one by one through headshots, then you're ready for legendary. Always try to use the plasma pistol / rifle combination like in this vid. Playing multiplayer with only rifles will also greatly improve your shot over time. (Halo 4 is IMO the easiest halo so you're right starting with this one)
Just one note, you refer to pushing buttons as Quick Time Events - however, in the context with which you refer to them, they are not QTE's, they're just pushing buttons. (Read: Quick Time Event on Wikipedia for the best definition) Beyond that, good video - I'll definitely watch your other videos to help out with any other troublesome levels...
Awesome, but those are cutscenes not quick-time sequences. I was a little confused, until I figured out what you meant. Quick-time is when there are the little button pressing sequences. Example: Every 5 minutes in God of War.
Hey I have a question I bought the limited edition halo 4 pre-rder so I typed in the codes and I went to look at the specializations and they weren't there and I couldn't find the DLC's downloads either so can someone help me please
hey man when you get in the open field there is a way to get up the ledge with a warthog instead of doing the rest on foot. first you grab a ghost and park it in front of the ledge then you get in your warthog and use the ghost as a ramp try its simple
@ 08:25 you do realise that the camouflage is ONLY effective when crouching or walking slowly? If you start running your camouflage becomes ineffective and enemies see you. It's easy to realise this because when you begin your camouflage you see yourself disappear, but the moment you start running you become visible again. I'm surprised you didn't even realise this considering you know a lot about the game.
As of right now in the cannon, the Arbiter is dealing with a civil war amongst his people; some support the Arbiter's decision with making an uneasy peace with Humanity, while other Elites (like Jul) consider Arbiter a traitor to his people and want to wipe out the Humans while they're weak.
After watching all these speedrun videos and hearing your voice for hours and hours while playing video games by myself, I feel like you and I have gotten real close Eli.

I have used your videos in every mission so far thanks man, and i love the way you say forward, foe ward haha
Now that I've had practice with LASO, Legendary feels like a piece of cake. I would recommend trying LASO if your having trouble. Be determined to beat the mission. You will get a little bit better at it and soon enough, you'll be completing legendary solo!
That rock formation portion that allows you to skip most of The Gateway was my savior. Thanks!
Thank you because the campaign on Legendary is ridiculous and takes so long!
Dude, thank you for this speed run series. It is going to save me a lot of rageing
These vids help make work not so boring. Make a halo 2/ halo 1 legendary speed run! Halo 2 was by far the hardest of all legendary campaigns...
I absolutley loved this mission because its just like exploring and more exploring, really felt like HaloCE second mission
You make it sound so easy. I've been stuck at the last part for a while now. -.-
Thanks a lot man I've watched lots of halo 4 tuts but non of them worked but this one really did.
Your speedruns help me so much
Thanks for uploading this video. This spares me from wasteing my time on any level for too long so I can move on to other games.
4:25 It worked for me! It took me much longer than needed BUT I sneaked through most of this :P
aw man and there i thought i was pretty much the only one using the plasma+carbine combo in campaign lol, makes short work of everything, also really love the needlers against elites, beam rifles can help too, i usually just pick up a needler or beam to clear that area and then pick back up my reliable nuke combo
That bridge section is do damn infuriating! I stunned the banshees off the cliff three times but they never die, they just fly back up.
When you have pressed all the buttons in the first room with sentinels, the 'star power' (as you called it) is an hardlight shield-armor ability, which can be very useful if you are under fire
You have the best walkthroughs! Thank you so much! I love your work! :) Awesome awesome stuff!
how did you do that. it took me 3hours to complete the first mission on legendary.
I can't believe how easy you made that look. Thanks for the tips :)
I beat the first to missions on legendary SOLO
all thanks to you!
I've enjoyed the tutorial and I shall watch more.
Thanks, you have helped me.beat the first two missions. Likley wouldn't have made it without the guide, thanks again.
Eli your videos are gonna save me so much time, thanks!
I wished I watched this before I completed the campaign on legendary. I remember this mission took me hours to complete, and this was with friends too.
Dude I can't even tell you how helpful that was
the snowy warthog part reminded me of Halo Wars too! :D
yeah same here but they did take quite a few and i dont blame them for being a little cautious they had some huge shoes to fill and they did a fantastic job with the first of their trilogy
Lol, my speedrun for the last part is to Hijack a Ghost and rush, but your method, wow... just blew my mind
I love Nak3dHalo/Nak3dEli. Before Halo 4 came out, I used to almost never go to his channel for news, it was always the bigger news people. Now, I totally regret that.

Thanks a lot for making these vids - i guess ill be getting that master chief armour sooner than i thought :D
This is my favorite speedrun.
Thank you for posting this, I've been having trouble getting past this on legendary. :)
Great videos, thanks! I'm not as sure as you that active camo is useless however - I remember using it pretty effectively during a few parts. I think the difference is you just have to move slower so that you get full invisibility.

Hey Eli, you should put these videos in a playlist!
@Eli, that thing at 7:27 is a Hardlight Shield being calibrated or something. the armor ability is under the lasers.
Wow, I never really noticed that Warthog part in the beginning was like Halo Wars until you mentioned it. Halo Wars is such a great game. I don't know why it got so much hate.
I don't know what you did wrong but on my first legendary playthrough camo helped me alot in this mission go behind cover use camo and you can crouch walk almost right up their ass without them noticing

Forza 4 was the first thing that came to my mind as well! I love that game!
thank you soooo much I already beat the campaign on legendary for mark vi armor but it said for 2 levels I didn't and I didn't feel like going through all that shit again, thanks man your a boss
Thank you for all of your videos! Your free xp code videos and these walk throughs are awesome!
Subscribed.✔
Hey naked eli thanks for the quick routes because i plan doing legendary and not take me hours, so thanks and keep up the awesome vids
i recommend being patient and knowing the weapons, play at least once in heroic and normal first before attempting legendary
Eli, no homo but I love you mang. Your guides are the best. Keep up the good work
You unlock specializations at SR50. Since you got the limited edition you can pick any then you have 10 more levels. If you didn't get limited you would only have 2 options atm, then more later
Halo wars was really good and thanks so much for these vids
You probably already know this, but if you go the right-hand-side, there's a Sniper rifle on top of the broken ship. Useful for taking out those Elites later.
There's also a Saw there.

I hope it gets a lot, lot harder!
I love you man, what a life saver. Thanks for the guides
thank you for the help sooo much now thanks to you i have a all three difficulty achievements and the lone wolf one
Thanks for all these shortcuts!
Still using these videos in 2022
The star ability you were talking about was a hardlight shield
I'm sure you know about the battle rifles in the warthog bay right?
Bungie has confirmed that Jun is still very much alive after the events of Halo Reach. I think they just forgot to kill him until it was too late to program a scene for it so they just let him escort Halsey.

done the mission really quickly ,thanks
will you mack speed runs for ODST
really good tips, you just earned yourself a sub
Wish I'd seen this before I completed my playthrough. I used like an hour and a half on this mission on legendary, clearing every enemy.
He died, it said so in Halsley's journal that came with the limited edition of Halo Reach.
How do you headshot Prometheans? I've never been able to do it consistently; I think they need to be screaming at you with their helmets open.
can you make a video about your favorite class setups? That would be helpful
Thanks for the rock shortcut at the end:)
What happened to the entire campaign walk through on legendary? I'm totally wanting to do it solo
thanks. great tutorial it really helped. also if u crouch while your using camo it works perfectly
like TheToaster said, practice first on heroic. Once you're able to pick off the enemies one by one through headshots, then you're ready for legendary. Always try to use the plasma pistol / rifle combination like in this vid. Playing multiplayer with only rifles will also greatly improve your shot over time. (Halo 4 is IMO the easiest halo so you're right starting with this one)
Keep rocking your going to get it right soon
I just finished the mission! Thank you very much.
so for some reason the only videos not working on UA-cam for me are these speedrun ones by Eli??? Super frustrating.
Just one note, you refer to pushing buttons as Quick Time Events - however, in the context with which you refer to them, they are not QTE's, they're just pushing buttons. (Read: Quick Time Event on Wikipedia for the best definition)
Beyond that, good video - I'll definitely watch your other videos to help out with any other troublesome levels...
I just did dawn on legendary this is next.
Heeeeey, brother!
Extremely superb guide. Dropped a sub.
Thanks it helped a lot! I got through it fast
Awesome, but those are cutscenes not quick-time sequences. I was a little confused, until I figured out what you meant. Quick-time is when there are the little button pressing sequences. Example: Every 5 minutes in God of War.
you should definetly do the rest of missions at once
AAHHHHH eli plz bring out forerunner episode tonight :DD
Hey I have a question I bought the limited edition halo 4 pre-rder so I typed in the codes and I went to look at the specializations and they weren't there and I couldn't find the DLC's downloads either so can someone help me please
if it's not to late on the rest of the LEGENDARY Walk-through can u show where the terminal are at
You missed the hardlight shield on that table at 7:30. Since camo is pretty much useless in Legendary, I think you should've picked up the HLS.
at the start of the mission to the right up on the DAWN reacege there is a battle rifle and a sniper rifle if u want to use it in the campaign
Doesn't the Jackal see through the camo because you're moving? It seems like it only truly cloaks when you stand still.
is this the legendary 4 skulls challenge (30K exp), if not where can i find the guide for that??
The end of this video states the 3rd mission is ready but I can't see it?
on the second part of the mission where you start there are some shields
just a tip but when you can get ghosts through the pillare area if you go backward and through the leftest pillare
What type of controls are you using because yours said to activate active camo with x
hey man when you get in the open field there is a way to get up the ledge with a warthog instead of doing the rest on foot. first you grab a ghost and park it in front of the ledge then you get in your warthog and use the ghost as a ramp try its simple
Why not pick up the SAW? It's fire rate is like the plasma pistol, taking down shields faster, and it also has pretty good accuracy
SPEED RUN YESSS THANK YOU ELI!!!!!!!
@ 08:25 you do realise that the camouflage is ONLY effective when crouching or walking slowly? If you start running your camouflage becomes ineffective and enemies see you. It's easy to realise this because when you begin your camouflage you see yourself disappear, but the moment you start running you become visible again. I'm surprised you didn't even realise this considering you know a lot about the game.
Not effective for 'speed' runs
eli can you do a video on BR vs. DMR?
Besides gaming, what do you do for activities?
07:29 That's a Hardlight Shield table- and those could've been real handy!
As of right now in the cannon, the Arbiter is dealing with a civil war amongst his people; some support the Arbiter's decision with making an uneasy peace with Humanity, while other Elites (like Jul) consider Arbiter a traitor to his people and want to wipe out the Humans while they're weak.
The Best Guide Ever!!! Thanks!
Excuse me but what does he say in the beginning of every video?
there is also a couple guns on the destroyed ship
