As the title says I am a new GM and getting ready for a campaign im going to run for my group. I plan on running "Carrion Crown" then taking the group to lvl 20 and maybe just a little beyond. While i am a new GM me and my group are not new to D20 games. I have been ready over a lot of paizo books to get familiar with the rule changes, the adventure and what not. I plan on finishing the campaign up with the group going against Tar-Baphon (they are going to be mythic also), but my confusion comes from the CR for Tar is he 26 or 31? In his stat block he is listed as CR 26/ MR 10, are the mythic levels already figured in to the CR or is that left up for the GM to do?
thanx to anyone that can help.

Mythic Ranks are always already figured into CR, so he's CR 26.
And a good foe for a PC group of Level 20, Mythic Tier 4, or level 18 Mythic Tier 8. Both in theory because Mythic Tiers are probably worth more than the 1/2 level they're billed as. So...maybe more like Level 20 Mythic Tier 2 or 3 or Level 18 Mythic Tier 4 or 5.

Tar-Baphon is designed in such a way that he's an excellent minionmancer (he can create effectively unlimited armies of undead) and is like a cockroach in terms of killing him (Urgathoa has his phylactery and it's a minor artifact with only one means of destruction). However, in a straight fight, he's not particularly powerful, so he needs to be surrounded by his followers.
He also needs to seriously budget how much mythic power he employs.
