Last month, we reported on the ridiculous Halo 2 bounty from Charlie ‘Cr1tikal’ White. At the time, none of us thought anyone could do it. It seems that isn’t the case, though.
Let’s go through a quick refresher before delving into the story. Cr1tikal, one of Twitch’s biggest stars, issued a diabolical challenge: completing a Legendary All Skulls On (LASO) playthrough of Halo 2 Anniversary with zero deaths. It might not sound like much, but these stipulations mean enemies hit much harder, are invisible, and most weapons don’t have much ammo. The scenario is brutal. Nobody’s done it before — until now, that is.
On Wednesday, streamer Jervalin completed the near-impossible run in roughly six and a half hours. The stream archive is available here for those who can’t believe it.
Consider this: Halo 2 originally came out on November 9, 2004. Almost two decades ago, for those of you that suddenly feel like withering away. So when Jervalin did this, fans went wild.

Just two weeks after MoistCr1TiKaL issued the $20,000 challenge for the perfect Halo 2 deathless LASO run, Twitch streamer Jervalin has completed it in just over 6 hours and 29 minutes…

Make sure you check out Cr1tikal’s reaction below. If only more of us could be this happy about losing a truckload of cash.

With that, Jervalin has just secured himself a cool $20,000. Talk about a never-tell-me-the-odds situation.
