i found another gray door

which leads to a stonehenge room

that has a passage to a blacked out district "for me"

I HAVE TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET IT

the doors right next to the tayari plaza beacon

time for some glyph hunting

Very good work guys, I KNEW there would an intricate easter egg, those glyphs didnt just look like eye candy.

If you check the Visr map, there are actually 4 stonehenges, 1 is in a blackened area. You dont suppose you have to do something in the other 3 to unlock the fourth?

Also, the secret room that everyone recently found, there is a similiar one next to the stone henge to the right of it.

There is obviously a connection and an order in which to do this.

Im finding it hard to piece this all together because Im feeling ill but im following this thread intently.

Sorry if this idea has already been posted. I've been trying to read through all 20 pages, but when I got to about page 12, I had a breakthrough and decided i had to post.

In Halo 3, the IWHBYD skull was abtained by jumping through the rings in a "random" order. Except it wasn't really random. Each ring represented a musical note, and when played in the order that we had to jump through, it was the halo theme song.

So i think its possible that something very similar is in ODST. There are three sites where stonehenge is/might appear. In one of these areas, music seems to play when you shoot it with the carbine. The theme song for ODST starts with three notes from a saxaphone. Maybe you have to shoot each area in a certain order to represent these three notes. And if this is right, then maybe it will unlock an easter egg or sword or something.

I came up with this using info from a lot of different people. I am NOT trying to take credit from them, just putting the info together.

@Rob

Thats what Im suspecting.

Theres another "arrow" door in district 3 that I can enter and exit freely, but I dont know what districts glphys are keeping it open. Im going to guess district 4, because those are the nearest glyphs in another district.

However, Im unsure if its a blank Glyph (the Y) or a Glyph with circle symbols. I personally am guessing the blank Glyphs are keys to the doors

... They look like Forerunner key ships if you take the basic outline. *shrugs* Im probably pulling that last one outta my arse without proof for correlation.

maybe the sword medals were still there cause bungie just rushed through the game. There are literally a bunch of glitches in the game or problems that make me ask why bother. The new mombasa level there are two parts of the map that are blocked by energy shields yet there are missing doors that let you waddle on through and explore these regions but are basically empty. Also why add a driveable wraith in Kikowani Station if the level is a banshee only level. I also found the elevator in the cutscene when you enter the underground tunnels but you just float halfway down until you get stuck. Overall this game was awesome (brings back the good feeling of Halo CE ^_^) but bungie rushed through this because they wanted the money more than they wanted happy fans

in tayayari plaza there are stonehedge stones

only 4 in a cube


and no glyphs on them

  • 10.04.2009 2:05 PM PDT

I heard talks of the door behind Dares pod, I went to investigate. I dont think its the door everyone is talking about but i went to the doors you spawn out of in Firefight and did the mongoose thing to bypass the door. Walked into the first room.

"What Now?"

Creepy ass message ¬_¬

Here is a good question for everyone.

Does anyone have the Stonehenge room in District 5 unlocked?

Here is a map below from earlier in the thread, for those that dont know the District name.
District Map

I personally have D4 Stonehenge & D6 Stonehenge rooms unlocked.

I am also able to enter D8 Arrow & D3 Arrow rooms.

before the mystery door opens there is no symbol on this wall, but after you open the mystery door opens this symbol appears. There is also the same symbol down on the street right below this that acts the exact same way. Coincidence? I don't think so...

That symbol is there for me regardless if the door is locked or unlocked. I just passed the door locked and the symbol was there.

Could be a marker that you've now unlocked 1 of X?

  • 10.04.2009 2:19 PM PDT

really? everytime I go to open the door it's missing before I open the door and there after I open the door

  • 10.04.2009 2:22 PM PDT

im missing part of tayayari plaza sector

  • 10.04.2009 2:23 PM PDT

Let me go triple check, I just goto another sector adjacent to 8 and the door seems to relock. I'll check for the icon one last time.

That's because you started from a flashback mission or from Prepare to drop... Start from the Mombasa streets mission

  • 10.04.2009 2:26 PM PDT

Ok, Im bewildered.

I went to district 5, came back into 8 adn the door was still open but the Icon was gone.

Went into district 6, and to the Glyphs, then went back to District 8 and the Icon is now there, and the door is still open.


Im so... confused.

  • 10.04.2009 2:31 PM PDT

it isnt giving me the chance

i havent finished the game

  • 10.04.2009 2:33 PM PDT

Maybe clutching at straws here but the stonehenge area where there is actually a stone henge column arrangement, all the stone columns have 7 symbols on them except the one with the SuperI's face on it.

I dunno, Im just hanging around the area. Maybe there is something more to the symbols.

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

All my areas are open, ones a blank courtyard and the other ones just a area filled with grunts looking around along with 2 engineers, which both seem to over look the grunts with the occasional look away toward a small area. Nothing much really.

EDIT: I'm not including the blacked out areas, all of my stonehenge areas are open.

EDIT 2: I must of done this earlier by mistake when i was examing glyphs, in a earlier post i mentioned a door opening in the area. Somehow it had either a late delay or it opens in MORE than one way.

I spoke to this person over LIVE, they do not want their name to be shared.
I was given the photo by this person. They supplied it and censored it and whatever. I never touched it. Weather it is real or not, i dunno.
