Themed Challenges and Hall of Fame

Since my partner from Tales from the Tranches isn't available I decided to do some N7 challenges. It might be docsteely 's influence as well.

N1 - Recruiting All Forces

I. Enhanced Defense Intelligence (AIU with Hurricane and/or Eagle)



21:58 - Sonashii (139 541 pts)

Delivery / Devices / Devices


II. CDEM (Paladin N7 / Crusader)




24:51 - Sonashii (142 737 pts)

Targets / Delivery / Escort

No 10 WS this time coz I derped a little bit on W2. Also this is my 2nd try coz on my previous run omni-button decided to take cover in order to hide from Banshee. You figure out the rest. - I could have taken a picture for Aragorn89

III. Cyone Must Not Fall! (TGI with Phaeston)



31:54 - Sonashii (135 269 pts)

Devices / Targets / Devices

Before doing this I was thinking - this is going to be a peace of cake, TGI with his cheeze. Well it was for most of the part. Doing devices on W10 was a nightmare. I got myself almost sync-killed a couple of times. Sorrounded by meleeing Scion from the right and upcoming Praetorian from the left. I don't know how I managed that on a first try. So much derp and focus on 10WS. But I am an N1.

N2 - Nature Versus Nurture

I. Resolve of the Shadowbroker (vanilla Asari Adept with Paladin)




23:17 - Sonashii (155 705pts)

Escort / Delivery / Delivery

This was actually the most fun challenge so far. I wanted to achieve all gold medals, but probably I had to mix my kills more efficient, because on silver you can finish the wave budget so quickly.

II. Lay Down The Lawson (Human Female Sentinel with Carnifex and Locust)



30:50 - Sonashii (128 627 pts)

No grabs this time but it was tempting to do a couple though. I had to be constantly on a move in order to get this 10WS. Also I was extremely lucky with objectives.

Delivery / Delivery / Delivery


III. 183 Pull-ups (Battlefield 3 Soldier with Revenant and/or Katana)



31:41 - Sonashii (146 744 pts)

Devices / Escort / Targets

Again, got lucky with the objectives. Escort on W6 meant that I could force my way through Brutes etc. It was fun even though doing headshots with Revenant wasn't the best experience. Do not scope at close range. Also had two funny moments. At the end of W7 there was last enemy left. Confident I ran to annilihate it. I thought it was just Marauder of Cannibal and then I've got a Banshee screaming right at my face I run for my life. Second moment was at the end of W10. Working my way to get 10WS, killed last Banshee and suddenly 3 Marauders sneaked at my back, looking for nice carpet. In the last second I hit ops pack. I wouldn't do it off-host, that's for sure. N2 achieved.

No one has yet "officially" become a lodestar for the gordians (since the challenge thing says videos are required) so here's this stuff. Most of these aren't new, just reformatted for the HoF, which is missing most of my video uploads because I probably either forgot to post them here or posted them separately from the main entry:

Gordians Hardcore

Stage 2: Anger

17:02 - TheTechnoTurian (244 669 pts) | 17:30 [v]

The 17:30 was my first attempt, for some reason I was too dumb to keep the video for the faster one

Stage 4: Depression

17:58 - TheTechnoTurian (287 406 pts) [v] | 18:48 10 WS

(I redid this one since I lost the original video)

Stage 5: Fat Turian

18:01 - TheTechnoTurian (241 139pts) [v] | (19:51) 10 WS

Stage 1 and 3 already have videos in the HoF.

Gordians Insanity

Stage 1 already has a video.

Stage 2: Rebirth

21:50 - TheTechnoTurian (350 079 pts) [v]

Stage 3: Burn the Darkness

20:27 - TheTechnoTurian (392 556pts) [v]

I only remember doing this one time and pretty much saying "fuck it" since I got decent objectives despite derping at everything else but didn't want to ever redo it because I hate acolyte GT.

But this is a different solo than the screencap entry so I clearly have the world's greatest memory

N3 - The Powers of Old Unite

I. Chooser of the Slain (Asari Valkyrie Sentinel with Disciple)



23:40 - Sonashii (166 375 pts)

Devices / Delivery / Targets

Again - no love from Giant. Got caught off card on 10W clean up. Duh

II. Hold the Line (Salarian Engineer with Venom and Scorpion)



27:15 - Sonashii (163 875 pts)

Targets / Targets / Targets

At least Goddess gave me a lot of love. Extremely lucky objectives. Also 3 sec before extraction that stupid drone almost staggered me to death. It was a miracle I could do one step forward into LZ. Waited for that 50 tech skill till end of 10th wave. Should've been faster. Put too much power on Venom I suppose.

III. Awaking the Eye of Wrath (Krogan Shaman Adept with Claymore)



23:02 - Sonashii (140 286 pts)

Escort / Devices / Targets

3rd time lucky as they say. On a first try I derped a lot. Felt like a Juggy this Krogan but with no juggy's shields as it turned out. So I decided to rage quit. Second was better. Even successfull, with 2 x Devices and I managed to save myself from Phantroll's sync-kill by pressing ops pack (1st time I've done this!) Finished my game in just over 25 mins but guess what... I forgot to take a screenshot So here it is, my 3rd try and most successfull. Don't like that character very much. Claymore saved the day.

N4 - Vital Signs

I. Servant of The People (Geth Infiltrator with Javelin)



27:51 - Sonashii (121 023 pts)

Delivery / Delivery / Delivery

Got extremely lucky with objectives, wonder how long that's gonna last. Only 3WS, whatever. I derped a lot looking for some grabs. Then I was surprised by Marauder. All in all it was fun.

II. Morning War (Male Quarian Engineer with Arc Pistol)



25:20 - Sonashii (150 270 pts)

Delivery / Targets / Devices

I'm sorry, I forgot to change my game language to English before I started the match. If anyone has a doubts feel free to contact with me and I shall explain what's what. I was a bit worried before doing this, probably because I don't like Hydra very much (I'd rather play on Condor) and I'm not good at killing with Arch Pistol. Turned out to be easy and fun game in the end I didn't want to risk grabbing toasters. I focused on 10WS instead.

III. Annihilation (N7 Fury with Collector SMG)



18:46 - Sonashii (172 782 pts)

Escort / Escort / Hack

My first sub 20 in this serie. It's not a hard task to do that because Fury is such a good and enjoyable character, especially on Silver haha. I think that was the easiest run so far.

Nice to see new people here.

The continuing story of Bungalow Bill Scrubs McNooby ep. IV (no, it's not A New Hope ):

N4 - Vital Signs

Gordian Hour

Hardcore

I. Denial

21:08 - AW_FC_1986 (324 708pts)

0:23 cut off.

Hack -> Escort (over the whole map) - Retrieve (slow Pizza due to heavy resistance)

3:55 minutes overall missing.

Did any of you mod the objectives? Just wondering. Many of my attempts end in rage quit due to device objectves.

Gordian Hour

Hardcore

I. Denial



19:42 - AW_FC_1986 (333 836 pts)

Retrieve -> Targets -> Hack
2:29 mins left.

N5 - Omega Forces
​
I. Bray-Fist (Batarian Brawler with Raider Shotgun)



21:34 - Sonashii (141 451 pts) (5WS)

Delivery / Escort / Hack

This was fun, I admit it. Puching toasters was cathartic. I spent a lot of time searching for enemies so it could be faster of course. Also it wouldn't be a proper Geth match if not a sh... ton of stunlock. That costed me 10WS. I couldn't reload Raider in time, my bad.

II. Kill Them! (Vorcha Hunter with BP Punisher and Executioner Pistol)



33:28 - Sonashii (145 818) (5WS)

Targets / Targets / Hack

It was a nice challenge, I was surprised by that. I like Executioner pistol very much. It's like mini Claymore. Shield Power Cells III helped a lot. I got down on wave 7 so I had to start grinding grabs. Oh joy... I always mess up spawn points so of course no killstreaks for me. As a result almost 34 minutes of gameplay. I can call myself "pro".

III. Retake Omega Part 3 - The Intangible is Unstoppable (Turian Cabal with Phaeston and Carnifex)



27:33 - Sonashii (150 174 pts) (5WS)

Targets / Targets / Delivery

I was looking forward to this challenge more than for the other two. That's because I love Cabal. She has some flexibility! Unlucky for me Derperus had some reach as well. I got down on wave 1. So I destroyed my plan right at the beginning. How do I get 4 personal medals? On Goddess I can't get grabs (or I can but I am just a scrub) so I had to look for some killstreaks, coz no way in hell I could get 75 pistol kills and 75 assalut riffle kills at the same time. To much grind. On gold it would be a different story. So I got lucky. On wave 6 I wasted 2 missiles on guardians which gave me 2 killstreaks. 3rd one was a miracle tbh. I was waiting for good chance to get it between 7-10 but again, messed up spawn points. Triggered by that fact, 30 sec before the end, I shot one last missile at 3 derperus units hoping for last 2 to be hidden near by.... second later this showed up - "3 Killstreak". I need a break from challenges

Well I usually only have time to play some ME3 at the weekend. I don't know, if I will make it till MEA.

Seems like Ariake is straight ahead.
