In order to play on this difficulty, the game needs to be set to [[Legendary]] and all the [[Skull]]s activated. Mythic is possible in ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. When played solo, its shortened name is "SLASO".<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=15932 '''Bungie.net''' - ''SLASO? I hardly knew her!'']</ref> ''Halo: Reach'' weekly [[challenges]] often include a challenge in which the player needs to complete a certain campaign level. Although it can be beaten, the game stats will still read "Legendary" since Mythic does not exist in the game's code. For the same reason, the difficulty for the games up to ''Halo: Anniversary'' do not have an icon. However, with the release of ''Halo 4'' onward, [[343 Industries]] implemented an icon for the difficulty, generally featuring the Legendary shield surrounded by skulls.
