Earlier this yr, Charlie ‘Cr1TiKal’ White issued a problem. He provided $5,000 to anybody who might full a full solo playthrough of Halo 2 on legendary issue with 13 of the difficulty-modifying skulls activated. (The 14th cranium, referred to as Envy, provides you lively camouflage instead of your flashlight.) Three weeks later, with no person claiming it, he bumped the reward up to $20,000.
Within the 18 years since Halo 2’s launch, no recorded occasion of anybody attaining this feat existed. Immediately, after dozens of makes an attempt unfold over the earlier weeks, Twitch streamer JerValiN lastly completed the challenge (opens in new tab). In a run that took simply shy of six-and-a-half hours, he made use of an unimaginable quantity of ability in addition to tips and glitches just like the one helps you to convey a Banshee with you into the ultimate struggle towards Tartarus. Issues nearly went sideways within the last minutes due to a Brute with a shotgun who dodged a double-grenade, however JerValiN managed to carry it collectively till the top.
JerValiN was beforehand answerable for the primary deathless LASO (Legendary All Skulls On) run of any Halo game (opens in new tab), having accomplished Halo 2 with all 14 skulls together with the Envy cranium lively. That run was clocked at 5 hours, 54 minutes, and 40 seconds, whereas his newest feat took six hours, 29 minutes, and 44 seconds. Looks like an honest strategy to earn 20 grand.
