The long-awaited sequel to the "The Secret of Sandtrap"
Featuring custom dialogue, enhanced co-op support, music, enemy elites with completely reworked AI, and over 2500 lines of scripting, this is my biggest project yet.
This mission lasts around 40 minutes on normal solo.
I wonder who will be the first person to find the secret skull during the boss fight? :D
Difficulty
This mod uses Halo 2 as a basis for the AI changes to elites, which are a common enemy. Additionally, Grunts and Brutes both use Calantorn's tags which add helmets and unbreakable amour on Brutes, meaning precision weapons aren't quite as useful. (Bring out your plasma rifles!)
As a result of these changes, expect Halo 2 difficulty levels for much of the mod. Only play on Legendary if you're playing Co-Op or are prepared for the length of the mod to double or more, or if you play Dark Souls to relax. :D
I've beat the mod on all difficulties solo while playtesting, and tried my best to make all difficulties fun and fair, but personally recommend playing on normal difficulty for solo play, heroic for 2 player co-op, and legendary for 3-4 players. No shame on playing on easier or harder than I recommend though! You know what's fun for you!
To Install:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Halo The Master Chief Collection\halo3\maps
Back up the "020_base" file there, then replace it with the one from this mod.
Start the game with anti-cheat OFF.
Select the level "Crow's nest" from mission start, with whatever difficulty or skulls you'd like! Alternatively, play the previous mission in the series, "The Secret of Sandtrap", and this mission will automatically begin from the end of that mission!
Please report any bugs or feedback here or on my channel on the SPV3 discord! I'd also love to see more playthroughs on youtube or twitch!
Known issues:
Scarab controls are a bit hard to work with.
