If you don't time yourself and don't use an intentionally bad controller it's very manageable. I'm enjoying my SLASO so far. Also, can we keep calling it SLASO? Eventually there will be co-op added and then the distinction will be important.
Probably the easiest LASO I’ve ever done, I would recommend doing it if you haven’t ever done a LASO play through, I skipped legendary and went right to LASO so each of my loads have each difficulty and it was worth it
@@yeeyee8928 I agree, Infinite's LASO is probably the easiest out of the whole series. It was easy on Warship Grabakkon (However you spell it) due to Bandanna and rockets. So was the 2nd level and then I got the Scorpion Gun and the game just felt like a breeze after for the most part. Bassus went down in two shots
I think it's a really cool addition that shielded enemies in this game have to activate their shields when they enter combat rather than them always being on
Ye you can, I was playing on legendary and shot and Instant killed an elite. Once you shoot one they all activate their shields so you should make sure to pick a tougher shielded enemy to make the fight a bit easier.
HiddenXperia massively struggling against a couple grunts- "This is gonna be rough." Realizes Bandana gives him infinite grapple **Immediately steamrolls everything in his path**
@@Nickoshot Halo 2 is in a entirely different category of difficulty. There were many individual checkpoints it took me longer to beat than entire levels on other Halo SLASOs. The Prison skip on Gravemind and for that matter, getting out of the first room alive on Gravemind were both awful. Regret was brutal too.
Pretty much, Scorpion gun makes everything easy so I dont respect people who cheese it that way and sadly that's 99,9 of the people that complete it Laso on legendary it's like playing on easy with that thing you can one shot everyone except bosses
@@ZER-cr4dm 343 shouldn't have put it right at the start of the open world then. You gotta be braindead not to use it on a LASO run out of spite. It'll just make all your encounters take even longer waiting for spanker rockets to land where you need them to, or wasting your time and patience cheesing with a sniper from miles away.
I completed my first (and only) LASO run last night.. I almost threw my controller a few times and wanted to quit.. a dreadful challenge but it felt so good to finally complete a halo game on all difficulties!
@Epic plus the fact that it shoots out of your feet, no ledge grapple, no grenades, no melee, only grapple and sensor abilities, slow reload, it’s not like a guarantee win.
@@ZER-cr4dm alright man, we get it. You think using the tank gun is bs and not challenging. Why don’t you play the game the way you want and let everyone else play it the way they want. Instead of throwing a temper tantrum and attacking everyone in the comments. Like, I couldn’t care less if some random nobody in a RU-vid comment section thinks it’s not challenging.
Waiting for my Duke/cortana controller and I'm currently on my first ever LASO run. I swear I spent an hour just on the first mission. Then I decided to look up the lack of checkpoints lol.
Yeah that's the worst thing about it, the game doesn't give you checkpoints if your shields are down (which they perpetually are thanks to the Disruptor lol)
A nice little feature I've noticed in Halo Infinite is that some shielded enemies such as Elites and Grunt Ultras have their shields disabled when they aren't in combat and have to activate them when they see you, meaning you can get very easy kills on certain tough enemies such as Ultras and Zealots. Overall a pretty nice detail that 343 have introduced
If you watch some speed runs, there's a few skips you can do on the earlier levels to make them fly by. Also, with the unlimited grappel you can skip about 60% of the second mission just scaling up walls and skipping bridges etc. Was able to get out onto the ring in under an hour with a few tricks.
@@TangerineOrangeFootCam SlothGG is the one putting out some of the best times right now. Just watching the videos you can pick up on some things you can do to skip a lot of the content
I'm currently just finished Pelican Down and now on the Sequence on LASO. The amount of times i've been thrown back like 20 minutes without a checkpoint is the most rage inducing part about all of this.
The work rate of this young man ! Incredible bro thanks for bringing these during the holidays ! I appreciate the grind . Plus we get videos and more lore happy days ! Stay safe everyone!
Much respect it took me 2 hours 30 min to get past the first level since I tried to sit at the back and just be a Mortar man. I feel your pain about the checkpoints...still haven't beat the second mission
Dynamo grenades are your friends on a LASO playthrough. Learned that last night when I attempted a run, you basically just stun lock enemies as it slowly kills them, and it opens up the grunts for melee kills to get your shields back.
Things like this bring me back to using the scarab gun with the feather skull back in H2A. Yeah everything goes flying... including you half the time if you aren't careful.
Thanks for mentioning turok evolution and shredding that game with the duke. Man that, ce and 007 nightfire were like my only xbox games for ages and i never ever got bored. Turoks soundtrack is as good as halo ce's , change my mind ;)
Finally someone that doesnt use the Scorpion gun holy shit, people be cheesing Laso on legendary with that thing and be proud of that when they used the most Overpowered weapon that can one shot everyone except bosses that's like playing on easy, props to the ones that actually do it the way its intended
Finished the LASO on Infinite last night, just under 9 hours on the playthrough. I abused the shit out of the sword w/ mostly a sentinel beam to go along. I tried to bring the scorpion gun but I messed it up and switched it out early. I couldn't get an old enough checkpoint to get it back w/o restarting. My Advice: Spam shock grenades to setup grapple/sword attacks. Melee is essential since you need full health/shields to get checkpoints.
I feel like if you play the game the intended way LASO is rough but with the infinite grenades and ammo make the first 2 levels easy then the rank gun makes every boss way to easy. God bless you doing it the hard way LASO the easy way took me only about 2 hours to complete.
To be fair, your plan was legit, and idk why I only just now realized how weird it is that we even needed a small grav-lift like that one when we have a grapple. 🤣
At the time mark of 5:20 the door that opened up is a shortcut. By following it all the way down and turning around after the enemies spawn you completely skip the next fight and save loads of time
Just completed it on my own. First laso ever so I did it without looking for any help. Very annoying yet it made it all worth thinking about all I overcame in the end. Also love your videos!
You should record the whole LASO or just plain legendary walkthrough. You are very entertaining to watch with a non-robotic spectrum of emotions and a kickass playstyle!
Max out your thrusters and zoom all around the badies with the Duelist energy sword. Made LASO for me fun and very amusing, especially against Escharum and Jega
Love your videos man I swear they always make my day and help me catch up on halo lore when I don't have time to watch your the best love your videos as always
I just used the Halo Completionist guide... got both the LASO and the speedrun achievements simultaneously. It was actually pretty easy, especially if a scrub like me was able to figure it out
Once I got to free roam, I immediately went and got the arcane sentinel beam. That thing MELTS all enemies except bosses and hunters. It’s still good against them, but still takes some time to kill
11:14 We are 1 minute and 24 seconds in, seems HiddenXperia needs to try and read his phone better lol. Loved the video though dude you put out great content!!
I've completed Halo 3 and Reach LASO with a friend, it is hell but once you get used to it you feel like a God. Can't even imagine what it's like doing it alone tho. I fucking wish I had infinite ammo in those games
Hehe holy shit H2 laso was hell, although It took me about 8 hours due to the birds and bad gravemind starts,but hey,it was fun in a weird way,I found pleasure in getting fucked over by elites specifically
I avoided watching anything but the last segment because I haven’t got the game yet so I didnt even know exactly what you did but its LASO so theres a like :P
This video is way funnier than it has any right to be Ah yes, the graceful flight of the brutes 3:46, 3:49, 6:05, 7:56, 9:10, 11:13, 12:15, 17:13, 21:01, 25:27, 25:44, 25:56, 26:06, 27:38, 27:54, 29:34, 29:57, 32:25, 33:29,
I’ve never completed a LASO game before, mostly turned off by the Iron skull. With it gone, I’m gonna attempt this one. Gotta find the skulls first tho, using ur vid for that.
I did my LASO run in 7 hours. It was definitely hard when you have to get a checkpoint and the only enemies around 1 shot you close up and you need the melee to get your shields back
I just finished laso today it wasn't awful it took me over the course of 3 days but boss fights were the biggest pain especially the bosses that weren't brutes
