They said it was impossible and, for nearly two decades, that seemed to be the case. But last night, a streamer named Jervalin beat halo 2<\/em>‘s \u201cLASO deathless\u201d challenge, earning a cool $20,000 in the process. Talk about finishing the fight.<\/p>\n

Let’s rewind. Earlier this summer, the YouTuber Charles \u201cCr1tikal\u201d White Jr.<\/span>. posted a $5,000 bounty to beat halo 2<\/em> on the highest difficulty setting, with every bonus challenge modifier turned on, without dying. In the 18 years since halo 2<\/em>‘s 2004 release on Xbox, no one had ever published evidence of completing the challenge. White’s challenge stipulates that the whole run is streamed, either on YouTube or Twitch. By July, no one had successfully stepped up to the plate, so last month, White tacked an extra $15,000 onto the bounty<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Most observers keeping tabs on the challenge had their money on jervalin<\/span>\u2014a relatively private streamer who’s picked up a modest following for setting world records on a variety of halo<\/em> challenges\u2014being the first person to complete it. Sure enough, late last night, he crossed the finish line. (Here’s the archived stream.<\/span>)<\/p>\n
