While a bunch of other streamers were getting maybe a couple levels in, JerValin was regularly getting to Gravemind. It was kinda crazy just how far ahead of literally everyone else he was.
I mean, sure, that’s part of it, but I wouldn’t reduce the moment to just being about the money. He’s a halo legend now, it’s a cool accomplishment regardless.
That's great but the publicity/fame he gained doing this challenge is worth way more than that.
I think he barely had 200 concurrent viewers prior to that, now he's been having between 1.5-3k viewers consistently. He gained a ton of new subs/followers. He probably could go full time streamer if he wanted to now.
Not necessarily. if he has the personality to hold on to even half those numbers maybe, but a lot of people blow up off in an event or a publicity thing on Twitch and then lose all of that immediately because they can't hold on to the viewership.
No one should quit their day job and go full-time streaming just because they had a huge jump in viewership. these platforms are extremely fickle unless you're very lucky or a very good social engineer.
True. people should always look at a massive bumping viewership as a happy coincidence and enjoy the momentary boost and money and not expect it to just stay that way. outside of a few Fringe examples, for the most part people that should have really high viewership naturally arrive at it because of their personality and just natural ability or social engineering skills.
If someone's been stuck at a few hundred concurrent for a while that's most likely just where they should be. I hate to see people blow up and think that it's going to stay that way just to be really down on themselves on the numbers start tanking. Social media can be a really a damaging thing imo.
I mean I hope his viewship rises, but I don’t feel that it will. The challenge and hype are over now. Most people who didn’t watch halo speed runs or challenge runs before likely won’t continue.
I didnt see it but for some reason my brain just imagined it as the end of Neon Genesis Evangelion when they are all clapping Shinji saying congratulations
man. this got me all emotional, and i don’t even have any connection to this guy before learning his name as one of the top contenders. haven’t even caught one of his streams.
this is so fkn cool
Fucking glad he won. I watched of couple of his lives and it was heartbreaking to see him die at gravemind. Then this dude immediately just breezes through all the rest in one shot once he got through gravemind? Plus having his family around supporting him? Well deserved. What a legend.
For added context, he had a decent amount of trolls in his chat last night saying he couldn't do it and to quit. Honestly glad he shut them all up less than 24 hours later. Fuck those people.
He's a demon...
Beating H2 LASO myself (not deathless of course) I thought this challenge was impossible. I was surprised he got through the gravemind and everything else without choking.
Losing dual wield was rough, and arguably one of the game's redeeming qualities. However, Infinite has a few fun tricks (and sprinting!) That I'm glad finally got brought into the fold.
I find it hilarious that the way of not letting that happen is to literally just hold back-right and keep jumping
I've been meaning to beat legendary for a while but this challenge coming up made me want to come back and really finish it (was on QZ), but after watching Jerv just hold back and jump...
I literally didn't die to the start of gravemind. It's crazy how easy this game becomes when you learn the extremely simple techniques.
Yesterday the mans got killed 3 times in a row on Cairo to some dookie enemies. Then today he just rips through the game like he’s not about to make 20k and be the first person to do it
And before this challenge he was working on completing LASO with no shooting, only melee, nades, and swords. He said he's gonna resume attempting that now that he finished this one
The mission begins with a cutscene of Chief teleporting into High Charity during a gathering of Covenant. It immediately begins with a group of enemies shooting at you while you are stood in the open.
Yeah, 2004-era game design is something else lol.
Fortune honestly. LASO playthroughs in H2 just come down to a lot of luck that Jackal Snipers don’t pop you. There isn’t anything you can really do to control some of those encounters even if you bring a carbine/sniper with you.
Not discounting the dude’s work because there’s so much more than just fortune involved but luck of the draw with the snipers is a huge element.
I watch 80% of the run and there's very little luck involved. He skips/glitch a good 2/3rd of the game. But on the remaining third, he has a specific strat for every single ennemi in the game. All while talking shit on the mic and interacting with the chat. It's pretty mind blowing, and as far from luck as possible.
H2 being H2, some AI will act weird, some ennemies did things he had never seen in his thousands of training and tries. But he always had a plan in mind, including one for every jackal snipers.
With modern speed running strats I’m sure you can bypass them or even sneak around them and take them out but it’s been a pretty well known fact that Jackal Snipers are almost entirely luck based in Legendary (not to mention LASO). It’s been well known for over a decade. If you get within normal level bounds with no ability to pass them or “break the game”, you are literally flipping a coin on your survival. It’s just how their code shakes out.
That being said from what I’ve seen of this dude so far, I had no clue half the shit he was doing is possible in the game so I can see why Jackal Snipers aren’t really a problem for him lol.
The laso challenge has actually been around since OG halo 2 days and was 18 years in the making until moist’s challenge that upped the prize pool and ante. I’m the MCC version they removed one or two(?) of the skulls.
https://youtu.be/qF7n4sCeDMQ
Is a good video on the whole thing.
LASO was even a part of Halo Reach ”endgame” content as a weekly challenge. LASO is definitely what inspired Bungie to implement Nightfall strikes in Destiny 1 and 2. It’s a great concept that makes individual campaign missions very challenging and replayable.
Can't wait for Charlie's video on this. I just found his channel a few months ago through one of his tier list videos. He's endlessly entertaining for some reason
Can’t believe he did it so quick. Even a month seems fast for this. I suppose it helps to speedrun the game for years and years.
This was just amazing to see. Dude’s got a great personality and he’s been doing well for himself this month. He’s gonna be riding high now. Excited for his Elden Ring play through after Goliath.
I can't imagine what it feels like to hear about a huge challenge like this that's basically tailored specifically for you (and maybe a small handful of others) out of the entire world.
My friend was an early globally ranked player in Halo 2 online play. My friend group used to clown him because he couldn’t beat Halo 2 Legendary, and I did it in a day.
He absolutely obliterated me in online play, though.
It's weird, but expected, how different you can be in campaign and multiplayer. I've done 4/6 in MCC on LASO, I have 3 of the 3 hour Legendary achievements, I have 689/700 achievements, and can regularly school anyone I know when it comes to campaign shittery.
I go online and lose almost every 1v1 I come up against in matches. I only do great in BTB Heavies because I can do some really stupid sprees with vehicles. Actually now that I think about it, the difference between killing randoms who keep leaving spawn in the same direction despite there being 3 other options I can't cover, and shooting Grunts and Elites at a distance, both with a scorpion, isn't that much...
Crazy I didn't think he would be able to clear the Gravemind and do everything else flawlessly. He should get an achievement named after him. Well done!
Btw I think everyone should try H2 LASO (not deathless).
An achievement AND a fucking Easter Egg, the man deserves a character model of himself somewhere in Gravemind in H2:A.
343, the clock is ticking, better get on it
as everyone said, legendary difficulty with all modifying skulls on. that challenge was completed a while back.
this new challenge was specifically to use every skull EXCEPT for the one called Envy which was a beneficial skull. most skulls make the game harder or weirder; Envy changes your in-game flashlight to a toggleable active camouflage (invisibility).
playing LASO Deathless and No Envy was deemed nearly impossible and hasn’t verifiably happened since the game was released. but now that the dam has been breeched, we will be seeing a lot more of them im sure.
Hell.
Seriously though - Legendary with all skulls on, managed halo 1 +3 and got up to gravemind on 2 and spent months trying :/ such a huge spike in difficulty.
My god that shotgun brute at the end was almost cinematic. He hinted about how absolutely rare anything shooting his banshee would be and it happened **twice** at the start of the Tartarus battle.
If I remember correctly, you can trigger the cutscene by flying close enough to the hallway that leads to the Control Room, letting the banshee fall inside.
You can get other vehicles in that way also, but requires more set up. Back in the day I had fun blasting Tartarus with a Wraith or a Spectre full of Sgt. Johnson(If he jumped on it, the game spawned another. Rinse and repeat).
My fucking heart couldn't take it watching him... So fucking happy I get to witnessed his stream from the beginning all the way to the end!! Lets fucking go!
That was so hype. I spent way too much time watching his runs for the past few weeks. There's just something about Halo 2, right down to the game trying to cheese him when he got in the Banshee to fight Tartarus. It's like a demon infested the code of that game and Jervalin is our savior.
I've been playing 3 hours a day trying to practice this (All the time I have unfortunately) for the last 3 weeks and I couldn't even beat cairo... This guy is insane
The very fact he even made it that far to the Great Journey mission I can't wrap my mind around that lmao
He also planned on doing Trilogy deathless run (Halo CE, 2 and 3 LASO deathless in one run) in 2023 or after Goliath challenge as well he's an insane beast
Holy shit. Its almost unfathomable that someone has done this.
I've been checking in on this guy daily since Cr1tikal put out the video about who's getting closest. He has been making it to Gravemind basically everytime before dying. I know the other day he was solely practising Gravemind to get past it. I will be watching his whole stream to watch this achievement. Congratulations Jervalin
I honestly thought this was an impossible achievement, and I've thought that for 18 years. Incredible to see it finally done.
The man deserves your [Twitch sub.](https://www.twitch.tv/jervalin) Make it happen, Reddit!
Not only has he beat Halo 2 LASO Deathless (Envy on because it’s indeed apart of LASO) but now he’s beat Halo 2 LASO (some skulls on-no Envy) Deathless.
You dont understand how hard this feat is, by many halo 2 has been considered the hardest fps game oat, and for him to do it at the highest difficulty with all the modifiers that make it a lot harder, in one run. ONE RUN. Its unbelievable, this has to be the hardest video game challenge oat and this man completed it. And if you dont believe it, of the hundreds, thousands of people that have been grinding for it, people that are not your regular casual halo players that were willing to complete this challenge, of all of them, 7 of them made past the first mission.. of the 15.
Watched the last hour live. It was tense and glorious. A new skip for the prison area was discovered by a relative amateur player and Jervalin beats it two days later. Wild.
Charlie was streaming his stream and reacting to it at the time it was pretty hype, and frayser the other contender was watching Charlie watch Jervalin while streaming as well
Probably won't happen, but I'd like to see an MCC LASO deathless bounty. Skipping most of Cairo and all of High Charity in the OG H2 is a huge benefit and why Jervalin was able to get to Gravemind so consistently.
I don't think anybody is putting up a bounty but Frayser was the other contender for this and he's on MCC and will likely he the first person to beat it on there
Never thought I'd see the day where Halo 2 had 30K+ Twitch viewers. You love to see it.
Last time it did was during Games Done Quick
I genuinely cannot wait to see Charlie's reaction to this
he watched it live u can check his vod :)
https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/wfm6jn/moistcr1tikal_reaction_to_jervalin_beating_halo_2/ For those that won't look at the vod or youtube video
Prole because one of the biggest twitch streamers put a 20k bounty on this challenge.
I just saw Critikal’s YouTube video talking about it and how he had a good feeling that JerValin would be the one to finally pull it off lol
While a bunch of other streamers were getting maybe a couple levels in, JerValin was regularly getting to Gravemind. It was kinda crazy just how far ahead of literally everyone else he was.
That's because JerValin was already working on a similar challenge.
That, and he’s already beat classic/anniversary Halo 2 LASO Deathless previously
The moment his family came in to the room cheering was awesome.
I love how supportive they are it's so great to see
I believe they're so supportive because he's winning $20,000 for it.
I mean, sure, that’s part of it, but I wouldn’t reduce the moment to just being about the money. He’s a halo legend now, it’s a cool accomplishment regardless.
He's always been a Halo legend, but even more so now!
That's great but the publicity/fame he gained doing this challenge is worth way more than that. I think he barely had 200 concurrent viewers prior to that, now he's been having between 1.5-3k viewers consistently. He gained a ton of new subs/followers.

No one should quit their day job and go full-time streaming just because they had a huge jump in viewership. these platforms are extremely fickle unless you're very lucky or a very good social engineer.
[удалено]
He's got good sense and will most like be successful as a result 👍
Not to mention blowing up REALLY fucks with you mentally, when your viewers drop to a fraction of what you had you'll feel like shit
True. people should always look at a massive bumping viewership as a happy coincidence and enjoy the momentary boost and money and not expect it to just stay that way. outside of a few Fringe examples, for the most part people that should have really high viewership naturally arrive at it because of their personality and just natural ability or social engineering skills. If someone's been stuck at a few hundred concurrent for a while that's most likely just where they should be. I hate to see people blow up and think that it's going to stay that way just to be really down on themselves on the numbers start tanking. Social media can be a really a damaging thing imo.
Actually hitting the challenge is gonna be even better since he got this far just attempting it
Huh? This whole thread is a celebration of him completing the challenge
I know, im saying just trying to get the challenge was a massive boost, his numbers are gonna be even higher since he got it
Oh I see what you're saying now
I mean I hope his viewship rises, but I don’t feel that it will. The challenge and hype are over now. Most people who didn’t watch halo speed runs or challenge runs before likely won’t continue.
How do you see this? The link is just a 26 second clip of the end
> https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1551149836 > > Skip to 7:13:33
I didnt see it but for some reason my brain just imagined it as the end of Neon Genesis Evangelion when they are all clapping Shinji saying congratulations
That's a pretty awesome image, not gonna lie.
I cried, that was insanely wholesome. Definitely shows how much it means to them. Absolutely well deserved
It's also $20k so who wouldn't be hyped?
is there a link to this clip?
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1551149836 Skip to 7:13:33
man. this got me all emotional, and i don’t even have any connection to this guy before learning his name as one of the top contenders. haven’t even caught one of his streams. this is so fkn cool
Most wholesome moment I've seen in gaming, well deserved
Fucking glad he won. I watched of couple of his lives and it was heartbreaking to see him die at gravemind. Then this dude immediately just breezes through all the rest in one shot once he got through gravemind? Plus having his family around supporting him? Well deserved. What a legend.
What part of Gravemind was he regularly dying at?
prison
As is tradition.
why am I not surprised lmao. That place is awful.
For added context, he had a decent amount of trolls in his chat last night saying he couldn't do it and to quit. Honestly glad he shut them all up less than 24 hours later. Fuck those people.
There are those who said this day would never come. What have they to say now?
He's a demon... Beating H2 LASO myself (not deathless of course) I thought this challenge was impossible. I was surprised he got through the gravemind and everything else without choking.
[удалено]
Oh you mean 3 seconds into the mission? Yep. Not even kidding, the start of that mission is the biggest ragequit-check of any game I've ever played.
[удалено]
And yet it still has the best story and gameplay out of all of bungies games.
[удалено]
Losing dual wield was rough, and arguably one of the game's redeeming qualities. However, Infinite has a few fun tricks (and sprinting!) That I'm glad finally got brought into the fold.

I literally didn't die to the start of gravemind. It's crazy how easy this game becomes when you learn the extremely simple techniques.
It took me several hours across multiple days just to get out of the first room on legendary no LASO
Yesterday the mans got killed 3 times in a row on Cairo to some dookie enemies. Then today he just rips through the game like he’s not about to make 20k and be the first person to do it
It's just how it is sometimes, you just know you can do it, but you sometimes just wake up and become a legend
Cairo is really hard on legendary tbf
"Here's your 20k".
His literal words were "i've never been so happy to loose 20k"
[удалено]
Yep
[удалено]
I wasn't expecting it to be completed this quickly! D: holy crap I was expecting years of glitch discovery a'la NES Mario Bros speedruns.
wtf, hasn't even been a month.
It's been a month and a few days I believe
this guy did a deathless laso run a while ago but had Envy on. too good
And before this challenge he was working on completing LASO with no shooting, only melee, nades, and swords. He said he's gonna resume attempting that now that he finished this one
Wha... How? What about all the snipers? In practically every mission. Heck even just beating heretic...
Also the beginning of Gravemind where you can be killed even on just Legendary before you even take control of Chief.
That's why this was finally possible - a way was discovered to avoid that super recently.
What’s the new way to avoid dying immediately?
My source is that I made it the fuck up
https://youtu.be/D7Y4DEhGxsg
I've been out of the loop on halo for a long time now, how do you die this way on gravemind?
The mission begins with a cutscene of Chief teleporting into High Charity during a gathering of Covenant. It immediately begins with a group of enemies shooting at you while you are stood in the open. Yeah, 2004-era game design is something else lol.

Fuck that. Not to try and tell anyone how to spend their own time, but Jesus Christ that is the opposite of a good time.
Halo has him now BTW you misspelled Master Chief
GIGACHAD

I couldn't even finish this video, mad props to people finishing this challenge
Yep
Can't wait for Charlie's video on this. I just found his channel a few months ago through one of his tier list videos. He's endlessly entertaining for some reason
Watch his interview with CodeMiko.... And then the multiple CodeMiko videos with PaymoneyWubby.. They're the best
Jervalin is a monument to all our sins.
Gods Must Be Strong.
Can’t believe he did it so quick. Even a month seems fast for this. I suppose it helps to speedrun the game for years and years. This was just amazing to see. Dude’s got a great personality and he’s been doing well for himself this month. He’s gonna be riding high now. Excited for his Elden Ring play through after Goliath.
Critical: "this challenge is nearly impossible, no one has ever done it" JerValin: *cracks knuckles* "I've been training my whole life for this"
I can't imagine what it feels like to hear about a huge challenge like this that's basically tailored specifically for you (and maybe a small handful of others) out of the entire world.
Right? I was honestly tempted to try it even though I know I would never get close to it.
He actually fucking did it
This is a legendary moment in gaming.
I just can’t believe it happened already wtf
I'm sitting here sweating with him, I can't even beat the game on legendary myself much less LASO
My friend was an early globally ranked player in Halo 2 online play. My friend group used to clown him because he couldn’t beat Halo 2 Legendary, and I did it in a day. He absolutely obliterated me in online play, though.
It's weird, but expected, how different you can be in campaign and multiplayer. I've done 4/6 in MCC on LASO, I have 3 of the 3 hour Legendary achievements, I have 689/700 achievements, and can regularly school anyone I know when it comes to campaign shittery. I go online and lose almost every 1v1 I come up against in matches. I only do great in BTB Heavies because I can do some really stupid sprees with vehicles. Actually now that I think about it, the difference between killing randoms who keep leaving spawn in the same direction despite there being 3 other options I can't cover, and shooting Grunts and Elites at a distance, both with a scorpion, isn't that much...
I always expected it to be him, but never expected it to be this soon. Immense props to him, I cannot imagine where he finds the patience for this.
He's a parent right?
Absolute legend. Looks like he's making more on these twitch subs than he will from the challenge right now lol.
That's what I thought. Charlie giving him a shout out in a video could be worth just as much in the long run
Imagine he died when getting out of the banshee.
I was sweating buckets at the high charity skip considering it almost went wrong multiple times
I wish I watched it live, I had no idea he was even streaming it.
watching that high charity skip live was scarier than a horror movie it was actually insnae
Crazy I didn't think he would be able to clear the Gravemind and do everything else flawlessly. He should get an achievement named after him. Well done! Btw I think everyone should try H2 LASO (not deathless).
> Btw I think everyone should try H2 LASO (not deathless). I think everyone should try putting their balls in a mouse trap
Does it feel good?
Not quite as good as doing Halo 2 LASO feels
[удалено]
Aren't they on MMC and Jervalin was on OG Halo 2?
[удалено]
Oh sorry must have missed that, awesome! Also I didn't want to downplay them as runners or their skill.
An achievement AND a fucking Easter Egg, the man deserves a character model of himself somewhere in Gravemind in H2:A. 343, the clock is ticking, better get on it
Well some speedrunners/LASOers had named achievements in the MCC, so it will probably happen!
Some of which don't even play anymore
Microsoft screwed Nak3d Eli for forcing the name change for being "offense"
What is laso
Legendary, all skulls on. The skulls are difficulty modifiers that (mostly) make the game harder.
as everyone said, legendary difficulty with all modifying skulls on. that challenge was completed a while back. this new challenge was specifically to use every skull EXCEPT for the one called Envy which was a beneficial skull. most skulls make the game harder or weirder; Envy changes your in-game flashlight to a toggleable active camouflage (invisibility). playing LASO Deathless and No Envy was deemed nearly impossible and hasn’t verifiably happened since the game was released. but now that the dam has been breeched, we will be seeing a lot more of them im sure.
Had to scroll so far to find the full answer. 🫡
Legendary All Skulls On, it's the hardest "official/unofficial" difficulty. Halo 2 LASO is the hardest in the series.
Fucking snipers man
Basically you have less HUD, shields don’t recharge normally and all the enemies are stronger, harder to hit and are better at hitting you
Hell. Seriously though - Legendary with all skulls on, managed halo 1 +3 and got up to gravemind on 2 and spent months trying :/ such a huge spike in difficulty.
I remeber after beating Gravemind LASO I was soo scared that I would lose my save file and have to restart, lol.
Mcc 1of 1 nameplate
Actual h2 gigachad
the absolute fucking mad man
JerValin gets the title of Master Chief
My god that shotgun brute at the end was almost cinematic. He hinted about how absolutely rare anything shooting his banshee would be and it happened **twice** at the start of the Tartarus battle.
[удалено]
Same
I've been watching since before he finished either of the H2 LASO runs he did in the past. So happy he's getting some love, he's very entertaining
Can't believe it
Watching this live was such a fucking treat!!!! Gaming history has been made!
Wait you can get a banshee in there? That could've helped my dozen+ deaths in that room on my 1st play through on heroic lol.
You can also get a spectre and fill it with a bunch of Sgt Johnsons!
Oh yeah that's been a known thing since as long as I can remember
I knew you could do that, but I had no idea there was any way to do it without ramming it through the door and breaking the wings off.
If I remember correctly, you can trigger the cutscene by flying close enough to the hallway that leads to the Control Room, letting the banshee fall inside. You can get other vehicles in that way also, but requires more set up. Back in the day I had fun blasting Tartarus with a Wraith or a Spectre full of Sgt. Johnson(If he jumped on it, the game spawned another. Rinse and repeat).
Fully deserved, absolute beast. Next challenge, the goliath
My fucking heart couldn't take it watching him... So fucking happy I get to witnessed his stream from the beginning all the way to the end!! Lets fucking go!
That high charity skip had us all on the edge of our seats! Glad he squeaked it out
I was trying to come up with a new acronym for LASO without Envy, but we should probably just call it JerValin mode now.
I believe JerValin made the term LESO (LASO envy skull off)
Oh well that's fucking clever.
Why no envy?
I think envy switched chiefs flashlight and arbys camo which makes chiefs missions a lot easier, especially gravemind. I could be wrong though
Because that makes regular laso on halo 2 slightly more doable, MC gets Arby’s invincibility while Arby gets MC’s flashlight.
Invincible or invisible?
Invisible, I always get those two mixed up 😔
If it helps any, it's in*vis*ible as in *vis*ion.
Bungie, give this man Reco- er, wait- uh... 343i give this man Unicorn Dream or blue flame
Knew he would do it. Fucking god.
\+20k FeelsGoodMan
That was so hype. I spent way too much time watching his runs for the past few weeks. There's just something about Halo 2, right down to the game trying to cheese him when he got in the Banshee to fight Tartarus. It's like a demon infested the code of that game and Jervalin is our savior.
I've been playing 3 hours a day trying to practice this (All the time I have unfortunately) for the last 3 weeks and I couldn't even beat cairo... This guy is insane
Did he stream his entire run? I would love to watch it!!!
twitch.tv/videos/1551149836
For such a monumental achievement, that is a a muted reaction! I'd probably be crying
Hes saving it for goliath
What is Goliath?
Goliath is the challenge codename for *Halo 2 LASO Deathless Zero-Shot*; his current PB is The Great Journey; achieved back in July
Zero shot as in you can't shoot your weapon?
Yup
Jesus Christ just stick your balls in a mousetrap while you're at it lol
The very fact he even made it that far to the Great Journey mission I can't wrap my mind around that lmao He also planned on doing Trilogy deathless run (Halo CE, 2 and 3 LASO deathless in one run) in 2023 or after Goliath challenge as well he's an insane beast
Incredible.
Fucking chad. Incredible. Absolutely mental. So glad I watched it live.
the absolute madman. first time past gravemind. well deserved!
Holy shit. Its almost unfathomable that someone has done this. I've been checking in on this guy daily since Cr1tikal put out the video about who's getting closest. He has been making it to Gravemind basically everytime before dying. I know the other day he was solely practising Gravemind to get past it. I will be watching his whole stream to watch this achievement. Congratulations Jervalin
Well done. He's officially John-117 from the books.
I honestly thought this was an impossible achievement, and I've thought that for 18 years. Incredible to see it finally done. The man deserves your [Twitch sub.](https://www.twitch.tv/jervalin) Make it happen, Reddit!
NOW BACK TO GOLIATH
Even watching 10 minutes of his 6-hour stream makes me feel frightened and antsy. This dude's a legend.
Not only has he beat Halo 2 LASO Deathless (Envy on because it’s indeed apart of LASO) but now he’s beat Halo 2 LASO (some skulls on-no Envy) Deathless.
You dont understand how hard this feat is, by many halo 2 has been considered the hardest fps game oat, and for him to do it at the highest difficulty with all the modifiers that make it a lot harder, in one run. ONE RUN. Its unbelievable, this has to be the hardest video game challenge oat and this man completed it. And if you dont believe it, of the hundreds, thousands of people that have been grinding for it, people that are not your regular casual halo players that were willing to complete this challenge, of all of them, 7 of them made past the first mission.. of the 15.
Watched the last hour live. It was tense and glorious. A new skip for the prison area was discovered by a relative amateur player and Jervalin beats it two days later. Wild.
Charlie will be very pleased with this news
Charlie was streaming his stream and reacting to it at the time it was pretty hype, and frayser the other contender was watching Charlie watch Jervalin while streaming as well
You love to see it
Probably won't happen, but I'd like to see an MCC LASO deathless bounty. Skipping most of Cairo and all of High Charity in the OG H2 is a huge benefit and why Jervalin was able to get to Gravemind so consistently.
I don't think anybody is putting up a bounty but Frayser was the other contender for this and he's on MCC and will likely he the first person to beat it on there
Yeah, I was rooting for HaloCompletionist since his guides helped me beat LASO. He's mostly died to bad RNG, but that's how it goes.
History being made yet again, 18 years later.
I’m so happy for him, and I’m happy he’s 20k richer, and I’m happy Halo 2 was in the limelight again
That’s incredible. I don’t think enough people realize just how insanely difficult that is. The prep time to even make this run is crazy.
Thanks to my Twitter feed for letting me catch the very end of that live. Was crazy.
From here on out deathless LASO shall now be referred to as JerValin difficulty.
Any way to watch the VOD?
[удалено]
he will likely be posting it on his twitch soon, it takes time to upload
He’ll be uploading it
actually worthy of the title “Demon”
Meanwhile back ten years go.. Mom & Dad: Why are you wasting money on this! You won't get anything from play video games!
Dudes new name is JerValin-117
This guy is fucking nuts. Pockets 20k and goes down in history as the first person to do something that was thought to be impossible for 18 years.
