@@jakebatty530 very briefly viewed at ~6:00. Forcing johnson to climb into the spectre will trick the game into thinking there is no longer a johnson on the map, which will force another one to spawn. This is super important because afaik tartarus is invincible until he receives 3 direct hits from a beam rifle. More johnsons shooting means more/faster damage to tartarus.
@@JL-fh4qw late reply. Also I know other people can explain this better. Pretty much once Rocats picked up Johnson in the Spectre the game is confused on where Johnson went. The game then creates another Johnson because he is "missing". I've seen other people manage to get 3 Johnson's in the Spectre before going to the main platform and they destroy Tartarus even on Legendary.
I just did my first full H2 legendary playthrough after binge watching all your speedruns. I'm no where near getting the monopolized achievement, but a lot of your strategies saved me tons of time throughout the run.
@@tejaspadhye I didn't try anything like sword flying. If you see his Quarantine Zone videos, for example, you'll see he gets up on top of the gondola in a place where flood can't detect him for the duration of the ride. I did, however, find a way to carry over a lot of momentum after a sword lunge, but nothing as dramatic as the sword cancelling.
@@ninjastyle8209*Bungie. Bungie got rid of the Spectre. What is it with labeling every bad addition or removal as 343's fault? Bungie got rid of dual wielding too
Yeah this level has to be the worst for speed runs in terms of available methods. I can say the control room pyramid maneuvering is a huge cock block in terms of getting anything done fast. Metropolis has its obstructive area but nothing as dredging as Oracle or The Great Journey.
It's weird, when I take Johnson with me down in the platform he jump of the ship but suddenly he despawn and he coming back to his original spawn. Sorry for my English

Now this is pod racing
Pog racing
Pawg racing?
Pou razist
The hardest trick was not immediately getting into the spectre's passenger seat
Yeah it really bothers me
100 freaking percent, it's rage inducing lol
Factual
Love seeing the brutes in the ending cut scene lol
"so... tf do we do now boys?"
Hahahahahaha
The beauty of non pre-rendered cutscenes, classic old school Halo.
@@noWo5HIStaalways made it feel more immersive to see the results of your battle lol
mans is just breaking wrs so casually
The final step is going from calling them WRs to just PBs , ZFG style
And they’re all just his records as well lmao
Idk why but every time that elite pops up from behind the box gets me, it’s both funny and adorable
Is the shotgun + sword combo on Tartarus a new strat? Sick speedrun rocats! I'm happy to see you're still pushing the speedrunning bounds for H2
It's a pretty old strat only used for individual level runs, I got super lucky with it here
Wobab
1:19 had me scared, thought you might get beamed in the head.
What Thanos is to the Avengers is what Rocats is to The Covenant.
Please make a John Wick Speedrun for as many H2 levels as you can. They're insanely fun to watch and make me play H2 again
what is a John Wick speed run? sorry for my ignorance
@@danielitox1ful Kill every enemy
@@danielitox1ful killing every enemy on legendary as fast and as efficiently as possible. Rocats has made a few of those already
thanks guys!
The johnson dupe glitch never gets old...
impressive run. Sword+shotgun works surprisingly well!
Johnson dupe glitch?

Congrats on the world record. This level is a pain to speedrun.
Yeah
Let alone even try on Legendary
Can you explain how there is more than one sniper shot in the boss fight? Is it like automated even though Johnson is on the platform?

Are you able to do sword fly? I cant manage to do it on halo 2 vista

@@odyssey958 gotcha
You can cheese it by doing the save/quit method like in laso runs (your time won’t get added on by doing this method)
You just doom eternal'd tartarus with that quick swapping and stun lock
nobody:
arbiter: get in we goin to brazil
Shotgun Lauch plus Sword Slash to take down Tartarus. Badass af, man. Congrats on WR
2:20 the AI can’t even drop the banshee off on the platform
Bruh 😂
Mans just straight up killed himself lol
@@josephstalin6281 he was blinded by rocats majesty.
You didn’t even give 343 enough time to go over the proper procedures. ;)
Well done!
i was so proud of my 11:07, this is insane. great job!
More runs man, I just can’t get enough of ur vids bro
Impressive stuff bro!
Those cinematics at the end gives me chills⚡
This level was a nightmare on Legendary. Christ Tartarus just never freaking died. Took me 1 hour. No banshee trick either made it worse.
that was some real luck you didn't get sniped out of the ghost from that jackal sniper, great run dude
Nice RNGourney run boss
Love the fact the music picked up as soon as he exited the water😂
Think its better to go left side or right side like you did when it comes to getting the spectre around?
THE BRUTE IN THE BACKGROUND AT THE END CUT SCENE💀
This vehicle needs to make a comeback and this is the proof
Yeah 343 always deletes the good stuff and keeps adding things that doesn't even belong into a halo game such as the prometheans
@@ninjastyle8209*Bungie. Bungie got rid of the Spectre. What is it with labeling every bad addition or removal as 343's fault? Bungie got rid of dual wielding too
1:08 very first day of work for my buddy right there as you can hear
Why do you take the right route up the tower in the spectre instead of the left? The left route is way more consistent.
I can imagine it’s just preference. Everyone does things slightly differently.
he just got the wr with the right route, so what does that tell you
ah the iconic meme format chapter
Yeah this level has to be the worst for speed runs in terms of available methods. I can say the control room pyramid maneuvering is a huge cock block in terms of getting anything done fast. Metropolis has its obstructive area but nothing as dredging as Oracle or The Great Journey.
In some cutscenes chief says sierra 117 and this he says spartan 117.
1:34
I didn't even know you could do sword launches like that
Seems you havent seen his other speedruns.
@@tejaspadhye I haven't lol
@@Wizzkidwas then do lol. They're crazy
can you imagine sitting there with your friends playing the missions and then one of them does a run like this lol
I wish my execution was as clean as this . I gotta practice more
Did... Johnson just hop onto your spectre?
The vehicle part is hilarious
This man has been breaking halo speed running records left and right. Wanna do a play through on LASO?
What’s your button layout for your controller?
Holy cow dude noice run
Dude passed Hunters like they were grunts, I use to take a sip before facing them.
Those are friendly in this stage of the game!
Because you play the arbiter, and for somewhat reason they are friendly.
@@13Krentebol oh, didn't know that.
Hunters are actually probably the easiest Covenant enemy to fight unless you're playing Halo 5
@@machina5Would sure be a shame if you were to... snipe them twice in the back.
why didnt cheif use the dupe johnson glitch at end of halo 3
playing this level on heroic gave me a headache
In Heroic
Atleast the snipa jackal won't no scope you it makes it much easier
*One Would Expect Memes From Such A Profile Pic*
best player
Only a whole day not bad some speedrunners spend weeks on a run and still don't achieve
Con su permiso, traigo prisa

26 seconds cut!? Damn dude!
2:53 why is there a heretic banshee?
I used the banshee?
Just waiting for halo 2 in 30 minutes after I saw this
Why is you gotta take out both wraiths near the beginning?
So the door will open.
@@MrMikeJJ ah got it, didnt even realize they had to be taken out for it to open but that makes sense!
Stop being so good
so this is why they added the revenant
Ur crazy man
Brutes decided to switch sides at the end.
