Halo 3: 'Cortana' - Legendary Speedrun Guide (Master Chief Collection)

Welcome to my MCC Legendary Speedrun Guides! Today we're tackling "Cortana" from Halo 3 (Master Chief Collection).

My goal with this series is to help everyone complete every Halo game on Legendary difficulty using the latest speedrunning tips and tricks. If you have any questions or I forgot to explain something in the video, please ask in the comments and I'll do my best to answer!

Best of luck!

It's like when they were designing this level, someone at Bungie said, "I've got an idea; let's take the worst parts from The Library, apply them to Gravemind, crank them up to eleven, make it as claustrophobic as The Pillar of Autumn, make the terrain anti-geometric and unlevel just to make it extra disorienting and so the sniping pure form Flood have a dozen different angles to gun down the player from like it's _Gunfight at the O.K Corral, _ then add our brilliant, convoluted, 'we're so secretive and mysterious, tee-hee' flashes from Gravemind and Cortana in between *literally every single room* that slow the player down to an unskippable crawl just to spite those damn speed runners. I'm a genius!"

Shortly after the release of Halo 3, that person was then hung by their entails and their corpse paraded through the city.

It's been 7 years since I've watched this video, and I still come back to get tips on Speedruning

[TheOdd]

I love how you spoke so casually about the box launch, we saw how many attempts it took to get that just right when you were streaming.

[Skrewdatt]

i honestly used this entire series just to get the helioskrill armor. it's been fun. Thx Naked Eli 👍

[minihalkoja]

I tried this in legendary. I felt like a little baby as I poorly tried to damage something.

[digvijaysingh]

I like that he is trying to teach us to speed run on legenday telling us where he lost time and we can save that time .(as if we can do it XD)

[picturebypicture]

I knew when I had to do this mission on legendary I needed to find a guide. Thank goodness I did, this guide made this mission actually pretty easy. So I thank you sir

[thecatshaver]

I'm trying to get the legends achievement and I'm just having a hard time getting past this mission. All the missions so far and other games were fairly easy but this one's just been a pain. Great job thanks for the tips

[anonymous-neth]

My man just did a mission that took me 2 hours on legendary in 7 minutes god I feel dumb

[ZleekProduction]

You can slide jump off the broken wall/platform immediately after the cortana room.

I'm not a speed runner but while running that mission I can always hit it. I'm sure with a plasma too you could get a good hammer launch

[Exciteknight]

thank you nak3d eli for help me get the halo 2 under 3 hours achievements thanks all your tips and. I thought I won't get this . can't wait for your halo 4 speed run

[kiiryuin]

I was there for that stream. You gave up eventually and did full game runs. Now here's the video :D

[TheDeago]

Great video! You deserve more viewers!

[Brawlingsilver]

I always want to speed run so I don’t have to deal with stuff but I always resort to just “kill everything “

[WillHMan]

Rising up back on the speed run did my tries and I took my chances, went the jumps now I am back on my controller. just a gamer and his will to run. so many times it happens to fast, when you trade your Grind to a restart. don't lose your grip on the box launch of the past. you must run to keep them alive! it is the eye of the cortana, it is the thrill of the box launch. rising up to the record of legato. and the last known speed runner grinds a level through the night and he is watching us all with the eye of the cortana!

[DaSerg]

you are awesome, you are a halo GOD in my eyes, i look up to you for guidance to get through legendary 

:)

[Boxsteam]

Hell's hallway is the reason why I haven't beat this level in legendary yet sadly

[Abstyler]

So are you still going to go for the sub 7 run right away? Or finish the guide first?

[bhoward]

How many times did it take you to get that first box jump right with the hammer ? I feel like I've tried this like 30 times

[lamsimyuen]

What a speed run could I borrow you to complete the rest of my mission? Lol!
