Streamer Charlie ‘Cr1tikal’ White has a challenge for you, halo <\/em>fans: all you need to do is beat halo 2<\/em> at a certain difficulty level (without dying) and he’ll give you $20,000. The thing is, that custom difficulty level is one that makes the game seemingly impossible.<\/p>\n

via PCGamesN<\/em><\/span>that difficulty level is known as \u201cLASO\u201d, or Legendary All Skulls On, a fan-made set of conditions which not only sets the game at Legendary, but then introduces a range of modifiers set by the game’s skulls, which can include stuff like giving more enemies more health, or putting less ammo in your clips. <\/p>\n

It is a brutal way to play the game. Here’s a Reddit thread<\/span> from a few years ago where someone boasts of having completed halo 2<\/em> LASO, albeit with the caveat that \u201cmy deaths measured in the triple digits\u201d. Cr1tikal’s challenge involves not dying even before<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Describing this as his \u201cWilly Wonka moment\u201d, Cr1tikal initially offered a reward of $15,000, but has since bumped that up by $5,000, because it’s a task he believes is \u201cthe hardest challenge that currently exists in all gaming\u201d. I don’t know about that, but it certainly sounds tough: in the 18 years since Halo 2’s<\/em> release no player has ever <\/em>been able to prove they’ve completed a deathless LASO run (well, one has, but I’ll get to that). It’s so hard that Cr1tikal says after watching people trying to take his money for the past three weeks, \u201c99%\u201d of players couldn’t get past the game’s first level, and most\u2014himself included\u2014can’t even get past the first couple of rooms.<\/p>\n
