Week 12 From The Shadows Of The Villa
50:15 - x3lander (256 078 pts) Hack|Targets|Escort
Got sloppy at the end of wave 8, so I had to play with 0 gels onward. Looots of kiting. Rio is ... tedious...le sigh
Week 13 Retake Omega Part 1 - I Am Omega!
46:33 - x3lander (285 465 pts) Escort|Targets|Devices
Derperus on Ghost - sound nice, there are several spots where you can make a stand and make waves 4 and 7 fly by, not to mention get stuff to bunch up and clear with missiles. This should be easy, right?! Uh-huh.
I must have had well over a dozen attempts on this one. the most frustrating one was two days ago. I am in the zone, I am entering wave 10 with 2163 consumables, not to get excited, but we a re going for 10 Waves Survived, boys and girls! Yeah, right... The objective is escort, I turn around to see where exactly it is, make two paces and get immediately downed due to Atlas rocket stagger and ensuing phantom crossfire. Oh well, whatever, at least I'm gonna take this one after ten or so attempts. Time is gonna be good, too, around 42-43 minutes depending on cleanup. Problem is, I gotta take the drone all the way across the lower courtyard to the housings above the LZ and there are two Atlases camping on top of the drone. I get flustered a bit, so I use a rocket to clear some phantoms and the Atlases but no dice - another two spawn almost on top of me. All right, new plan - I'm gonna do that kiting thing that scrubs do. We play a few of rounds of hide and seek, I get downed a couple more times but who cares - I got medi-gel to spare, don't you look at me in that tone of voice! I finally manage to get the drone to its final position and complete the objective, when a single phantom pops out of nowhere and does her stabbity-stab thing...
@!%#$#$%^%$&*^&(^&)&%(*#$^$#@@!!!!!!!
F#cking Derperus...
Week 14 The League Of One
28:10 - x3lander (269 962 pts) Targets|Hack|Pizza
After the frustrations of the previous one, this was pure relaxation - Salarian, Falcon and Geth on Gold, this must be heaven. I can go for 10 WS, I can go for time, but I just wanted to kick it back a bit, so here's my first attempt.
Ceterum censeo Cerberum esse delendum
Carrying 3 missles to the end. Why not?
ex-Clusum would call me weird again
![]()
And he would be right. After 3 thermal clips at the end with the Destroyer, now 3 missiles with the GE... WTF is wrong with you ? ![]()

Hey there, Okami! We played a couple games together with AW_FC a few months back, don't know if you remember. Welcome to the themed challenge thread, and keep up the good work!

Hi there Smehur, yes I remember and thank you.
I don't do many solos, but if I find something interesting I may do it. I mean I don't think I have the patience for some of the solo challnges out there lol. I also tend to be conservative when playing so they take longer to finish.
Thanks again and I'll see you around.
HoF updated!
- Ex-clusum is resetting the bar with new records for all the N1 challenges!

- Welcome to the madness Okami! Leaving an impression with solid Platinum runs as your first entries into the Hall of Fame and first Insanity entries for both the "Widowmaker" and "Survive". Well done!
- x3lander with another solid triple run submission, on the way to the completionist board for the original weeklies!
Stay tuned for AW_FC's Lost levels, the final challenge later today!

Weekly Challenges Series 1 Insanity
Week 15 Haestrom, Thermonuclear
32:23 - x3lander (281420 pts) Pizza|Targets|Pizza
That was my second attempt. The first one would have been faster, 23-25 minutes depending on objective, but on wave 9 a drone circled around the map and pushed right in the firing field of the two Primes. 8 Siege Pulses later I am downed and say goodbye to the 10 WS medal. Naturally, I played much worse on my second attempt and got targets that I couldn't switch, to boot. But dead is dead and the toasters got thoroughly disassembled on their excursion to Haestrom.
Week 16 The Gozu District
33:59 - x3lander (220972 pts) Devices|Escort|Hack
Nice map, nice enemy faction, monster kit and a lovely weapon... what more could you want?! I had several successful runs on this one, but I wasn't satisfied with the time, there was always something going wrong. One time I had to use my wave 10 cleanup missile before the objective was done in order to avoid getting grab by the crab. Another, I had pizza that was being camped by a whole spawn, targets that I couldn't switch and hack that I failed to glitch. Yet another I got chain-killed by a gang of husks and Scions on wave 7 and ended up with no missiles and gels for wave 9 and 10. But, in the end, the stars aligned and I was one happy harpooning batarian scumbag. ![]()
Next one looks like fun - Derperus on Reactor (often has shitty objectives), no Crutch Scanner and no Cyclonics... ![]()

2 thermal clips, so anoying runing out of ammo when you are about to make a corpse of those damn pretorians.
Okami, you probably know this, but just in case -- you can also submit your platinum solos in the Platinum Hall of Fame thread.

Hi Smehur, no I didn't know that hehe, thanks for the info. Is it another challenge thing or you just post any plats you do?
^It's just a general collection of Platinum solos.
Anyway, I got hold of my X360 for the week, so I'll attempt to catch up on some challenges. ![]()
Hi Smehur, no I didn't know that hehe, thanks for the info. Is it another challenge thing or you just post any plats you do?
It's a thread dedicated to the archive of plat solos, themed or not. Videos and screenshots are both accepted.
Edit : Jesus omniscience beat me !
Thanks Loufi.
Thing is when I started soloing I never thought I would be posting anything anywhere, matter of fact I didn't even know these challenges existed at all, so all I have is the final result of my games and some info on the objectives, I just kept them for nostalga's sake, I did it after my first plat thinking I was never going to do another one, but then I did another one and I took a screenshot too, and then another one, and another one after that, and so on lol.
Also I don't have any recording software, not that this old coffe maker of a pc I use at the moment would be able to take the load, so I have no recordings unfortunately.
So if they accepted only final screenshot, then I would post them, otherwise I guess I'll keep them for old times sake.
It was later I found out about prestacious and I did some golds for fun but my times are long lol, I didn't even bother posting them. And later on I met AW through a friend played a few games together, always so much fun playing with AW
, and he was so much into this solo thing that here I am.
I don't know how much longer I'll be playing the game but if I get the chance to do a few more challenges I'll post them here.
Take care all of you.
