Halo Reach: LASO Weekly Challenge Guide: Part 9 – The Pillar of Autumn: II

Time to finish this sucker off.  Good luck.

(See Part I here.)

The Pillar of Autumn Walkthrough (cont'd):


This first platform you come out to will be your base of operations. You will leave your Plasma Pistol here until it is needed. I will say now that credit for the strategy in the remainder of this guide goes to Tyrant, again. Tell him, "Thank you."

Halo Reach: LASO Weekly Challenge Guide: Part 9 – The Pillar of Autumn: I

Please follow the blog and follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the LASO guide or LASO in general? Post them down below!

Just like we all knew it would, it seems as though the curtain is coming to a close on these LASO challenges, though I would not be surprised to see the survival level Lone Wolf pop up for some sort of LASO challenge in the coming weeks.  Regardless, you still have to get through the Pillar of Autumn first.

This mission is no breeze by a long shot, but it is actually easier than you might think.  It just requires, like all LASO runs, patience and strategy.  There are some very trying parts near the end, but nothing that cannot be easily overcome.  Video of the run can be seen here and here.  If you need to review LASO strategies and tips, look here and here.

(Quick Note:  Many of the strategies here are from the fantastic Reach Mythic guides of Tyrant over at Halo.bungie.org.  All credit for these strategies goes to him or RC Master, who I believe found some of these tricks.  These guys are Mythic Gurus and if you ever have a chance, tell them "Thank you!")

The Pillar of Autumn Walkthrough:

The goal of this entire level is to get the package, the fragment of Cortana's memory, to the Pillar of Autumn in Azod.  You start out on a doomed Pelican piloted by Carter and you eventually jump out with Emile.
