18 Brutal Gaming Challenges You Must Complete Before You Die

6. Finishing Halo 3's LASO Mode

Getting through any Halo game on Legendary difficulty is already challenging enough, but ultimately doable. So naturally, the next logical step is to engage LASO mode €“ Legendary, All Skulls On. This mode is like bringing a knife to a nuke fight €“ it€™s virtually hopeless from the get go because of all the handicaps. Enemies have twice as much health, are immune to damage that they would normally resist, drop less ammo and throw twice as many grenades. Also, you have no radar and your shields only regenerate if you hit an enemy with a melee attack. In addition, Solo LASO (SLASO) means that if you die once, you have to restart the entire level from scratch. There aren€™t any checkpoints here, friends - that would be much too easy. If you do somehow manage to make it through this nightmare scenario and complete the campaign, later Halo titles will at least reward you with an achievement. Is it really worth it, though?
