The Silent Cartographer

This is another great mission for me.

Yeah, I love playing this one back to back with, um, Silent Cartographer.

So I've ...

No, I really like that, I mean, there's a lot of differences in the rooms if you've played it enough fucking times, as I have-

Yeah, the, the-

Yeah

... yeah, silent cartographer and assault on the control room back to back were, like, my mainstay with my friends-

Yeah

Also, getting an exclusive Chief and Sangheili out of this box is a nice little icing on the cake, but I'm excited to play the board game.

I can see this is something we do in the evenings of our events, right? Because it does say it's a one- to two-player board game going through the events of the Pillar of Autumn, Halo, Truth and Reconciliation, Silent Cartographer, and Assault on the Control Room.

So that's the first five levels of Halo.

Yeah, just Chief fighting his way through the hordes of the Covenant.

We'll be playing the Assault on the Control Room mission from Halo: Campaign Evolved on the next episode.

This episode, we're debriefing The Silent Cartographer.

This is the mission, this is the mission from Halo: Campaign Evolved.

This is it.

And this is the mission, as you recall, that like every other Halo game tries to imitate, replicate in some capacity.

Yeah.

Uh, I feel like the developers, you know, in the other games are always like, "Let's do, let's do one like the Silent Cartographer." [laughs] Um, and but they never quite get to...

I mean, maybe, I guess it could be argued that maybe one or two get to, to similar feels.

In Discord, we'll be playing the Assault on the Control Room mission from Halo Campaign Evolved on the next episode.

This episode, we're debriefing the Silent Cartographer.

This is the mission.

This is the mission from Halo Campaign Evolved.

Yeah.

I

feel like the developers in the other games are like, let's do one like the silent cartographer.

Yeah.

The, the library's so much easier to navigate.

Um, I think there, there's a couple of tweaks that they've made to, um, the Silent Cartographer and so on.

And they've upped some of the difficulty to a certain extent, 'cause they've a- they've added more skulls, and it is just insane.

If you really wanna ramp up the difficulty, you can.

[laughs]

Yay.

On a game that I know, like, have played to death already and know inside and out, and I'm just there going, [laughs] "Let's play Silent Cartographer again.

It's the best."

Anyways, that's it for general rules and reminders.

To talk about the actual skulls, we're gonna be starting with The Silent Cartographer today.

And our first skull in this mission is going to be Bandana.

So this is in the beginning of the mission after your first battle on the beach.
