If you’re a massive Halo fan in dire need of some extra cash, there’s an incredibly brutal bounty floating around that might be up your alley.
Last week, popular YouTube and Twitch star Charlie ‘Cr1tikal’ White announced that he’s offering $20,000 to anyone that can complete a Legendary All Skulls On (LASO) playthrough of Halo 2 Anniversary with zero deaths (thanks, PCGamesN). That might not sound tough, but the skulls in this series act as unique modifiers.
For example, enabling the Assassins Skull will make all enemies invisible. Couple that with something like the Famine Skull, where all weapons are half empty, and it becomes obvious why this is such a daunting task. Most tweens back in the day would never dream of attempting this.
Check out a clip from Cr1tikal’s video issuing the challenge below. As a heads-up, there’s some NSFW language. The whole thing is up on YouTube here.

Apparently, no one has been able to do this in the 18 years since the game’s release… wow pic.twitter.com/8iNfCEbWac

When Cr1tikal first came up with this bounty several weeks ago, it was initially only for $5,000. However, since then, he raised it to $20,000 — probably because it’s absolutely masochistic.
LASO runs in Halo 2 Anniversary are hard enough when game-overs are allowed. In the video mentioned above, Cr1tikal admits he couldn’t get passed the game’s first two rooms under these stipulations. The submission page is already available here if you’re up for it. So yeah, good luck!
