Two points:

1: My Friend and I where racing eachother in NM on legendary and he stopped his mongoose against a door. When he got off, he went through the door! There wasnt much in the room as the doors were all red and it wont work on every door. (I've tried) but I think you could possibly do that thing in forge where you can get through impassible barriers by using a mongoose.

2: The doors near Dare's dope site that have the blue but you can't access them? Because you can do the missions in any order you see fit, whatever level you do last (that is before you go underground) will have a door (like that one) open for you to travel underground.

3: I know I said two points, but I'm saving this...

EDIT: I will try to do this today to get some pics for you guys...


Thats actually a very good idear.

let's try to keep all info regarding the elites and symbols and stonehenge things in this topic. So if you see any other threads with good info direct them here. I think they are all related, and if I had to guess I would say that the engineers have a big role to play. I actually think they made the symbols. That would explain why they are around the dead elites and why the SI logo is on some of them.

Heres an idea: get kills with the empty handle. you could get a sword spree with an empty sword in H3 multiplayer.

Space, zoom, fade!

I finally got all 30 audio files, in the room where you retrieve last file (don't want to give away anything but you know where I'm talking about) there is a screen on the wall with an image of the superintendent / Virgil.
If you stand in front of this screen for some time you begin to hear a sequence of beeps, after a while they begin to repeat themselves.

The beeps do not sound random and sound like some sort of sequence.
The sequence goes like this: Four Three Three (then a significant pause) Six Three Three (long pause) Six Three Three (then the sequence of six three three repeated indefinitely, i stopped listening after five minutes).

At first i though this was merely distressed sounds produced by the now corrupt Virgil.
I then noticed that the image on the screen had the text "Access Denied" printed across it, i recognized this same text from the control panel that appears on the door behind dares crash site only on the level MOMBASA STREETS.

I read somewhere (on this thread i think) that the this control panel had blue lines surrounding it which indicates that it can be used somehow.
I checked and sure enough the control panel had blue around it.

The thing i found really strange was the fact that this control panel doesn't appear on the level where Buck finds dares pod.

I have not tried entering the sequence into the control panel (as i have NO idea how i would do that).

I don't know if this has anything to do with the current conspiracy but it definitely seems odd to me.

Edit: Just read the thing about staying on the topic of elites/swords etc...

If there IS a sword, who ever finds it first should get recon.

I also read that you can glitch into this room by someone a little further up in the thread. This could also lead somewhere not sure where though, the room was empty he said...

That wouldn't work well for me if I find it...

for obvious reasons.

JUST HAD A BREAKTHROUGH (kinda) when I shot one of the stone henge things with a carbine music started to play.

hmm... maybe you have to shoot the stonehenge pillars in a certain order.

If this is true maybe the carbine is the tool we need to enter the correct sequence or start the puzzle?

Edit: Justice831 was the carbine the one by the dead elites?

Were the engineers still alive? Where did you shoot? Can you put the video on your file share?

the dead elite at the first stonehenge has a carbine. someone should find out how much ammo is in it

How many stone pillars are there in the stone henge? If there are 7 that could be a big lead.

  • 10.03.2009 5:04 PM PDT

I'll go back and do it again and then put it on my file share. BTW I made sure the engineers didn't kill themselves. Not only that but I noticed several dead Elites around the city have carbines beside them. Perhaps you have to collect the ammo from each and use the shots to shoot the super intendant symbol in a specific order. Maybe the engineers float above the ones you have to shoot? I need to investigate more.

If the engineers light up certain parts of the stone pillars that could pertain to the order which they are activated.

Are you serious?

There is a carbine by the dead elite among the pillars.
We never shot the pillars though - maybe the Y signs are like a musical score then? Play a tune and solve the puzzle?

hey just played up to that part on tayari plaza where the marine tells you to flank the brutes, so i did and when the SI said please slow down and a i found a red elite and next to him is a sheet of paper with 8 very intresting never before seen covenant weapons. kinda hard to see but very easy to tell they are blacked out weapons. . . reach weapons maybe... im excited i will take a screenshot and put it on my file share!!!


Post the link on here, should be interesting to see where this leads.

  • 10.03.2009 5:13 PM PDT

Where there is smoke, there is fire. Or a smoke machine.

Somebody before mentioned before about a tune in the SI's room after all the logs, i notice in tayari plaza i found something which looked exactly like the engineers and the stone collums, but it was grunts with some of those weird floating stools with a strange thing in the middle. I'll try the tune they said it was in on one of the blocks. If you wanna know more add Mount corpse online, i'd like some help but i don't wanna interupt people with their time. Thanks.

EDIT: SI says something about loses items and claiming them on lower levels during the mission, i went back there in NM streets and nothing was said but i heard a door open, i checked over on threatre and something definately open but it wasn't a door.

Actually it's not blank.

But I think this is just an easter egg, and not part of the puzzle.

I saw it, the third one (going from left to right) looks like a carbine fused with a sword.
