Ok I need a response on this one! in the stonehenge room with mickeys drop pod are there normally palm tree trunks? because after the glyphs were erased I went to this room next and found 6 (same # of stonehenge pillars) tree trunks that look like palm trees. 2 of which were knocked sideways. I can't remember if these were here before.

EDIT: there were no leaves on these trees just the trunks

please tell me where this is!!

"Of course not, because that would be too conveinient!"

I'm going to throw a few things out there:
1) I think we need to focus on the origins of the glyphs ie engineers, covenant, other (keeping in mind this group would have some interest in virgil or what's buried under him)
2) what does it mean if a glyph dissapears?
3) What do the symbols in the glyphs mean? (there's only a few different ones, and we have tons of primary sources at our disposal. If you have any of the graphic novels, please scim through them for any similar symbols)
4) at this point we should be forming theories, so give it your best shot, there are no wrong answers.
5) What is the origins of the engineers, and why would they spend their time with these symbols?
6) how could all of these things link together or is there any proof that they are independent occurences?
7) ( I had to end it on 7)

7) District 7 is closed to us, and there are 7 accessible sectors.

There now your 7th one has something to do with the number 7 :)

Well something I noticed was that the glyphs that seem to react to people are the glyphs with the SI symbol in them. And don't forget the moods. Someone noted that there was a glyph with an SI symbol on it, but it had a sad face. What could this mean? You are going the wrong way? You have done the wrong thing? Or you're getting closer to something?

Although these glyphs disappear, when they reappear, are they the same as before, or are the different? I think that the ones that stay the same are relevant or the ones with SI on them are the ones we need to be looking at. If people could download [http://subculturelifestyle.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core .DownloadItem&g2_itemId=444&g2_serialNumber=2]this[/u rl] and use paint or something to draw arrows or similar to include the locations of important things like magic walls, stonehenges, glyph doors and other things that are relevant to this thread, then email them to me at [email]kickass794@gmail.com[/email], I will upload them so that we can have a gradually increasing map of where everything is. Eventually, we will find something, I mean how many people are actually working on this? Oh and could you please pop on over to Glyph Hunters which is where this information will be gradually collated. Lets go find some Eggs!

We've been talking about mapping these things out for a while now so we should definitely get on that. I will do it but Idk where all the magic doors and all the glyphs are so if I get the info I can photoshop it up.

EDIT: fix'd your link

I said I'd be happy to do the map, I just need people to tell me where certain things are, and the best way to do that is for people to send in maps with the stuff they know marked down. Basically by adding all the little things together we can make one big collation of all the hidden items.

Looking to hook up with some competent players! Please PM me if you want a decent team mate, looking to learn from good players and impart what I know to the team too. Im sick of going 'randy' and getting betrayed for the sniper etc.. and having to put up with BK team mates

A friend on my friends list told me he found a hidden objective. I really didn't take much notice of it at the time, but now im curious, perhaps I should ask him what he meant by that and I will post back here if its legit.

I thought I found something cool, but it may just be a simple coincidence. The door on the right at the beginning of "Data Hive"(the one closing on the marine's leg) has "7G" on it. Could that relate to the "7H" barrier in Mombasa Streets? I know that the barrier skipped over the letter 'G' and went to 'H' instead, so it's probably nothing

Good observation, but not necessarily related to what we are doing. Actually, can you enter that? Most people will travel straight ahead, instead of looking around....

Probably nothing because the rookie was on sublevel 7 and that door could have taken him to section G.

Wait! I'm going to smoke them out!

They are not sword medals they are Stick spree and Sticky fingers.

There is no more space in the medal chest for sword spree!

Ehm.. Have anyone checked the "square-rooms"? You know those that are almost the same thing as the socalled stonehenge rooms, only smaller and with four triangles shaped as a square inside.. Just mentioning since I haven't seen anything about them in thread..

Also, anyone know if its possible to enter thant section in the bottom right of the map? Its blue/brown as if its accessible, but its blocked of by shielddoors..

Just adding ;)

EDIT: Mape a pic.

Blu section = "The accessible area that you can't access"
Green sections = Stonhengerooms
Pink areas = Other "secret rooms"
Purple areas = areas that i didn't know for sure if was locked of gardens, or just normal areas blocked of by the buldings above them..

I read somewhere there was a glitch to do with a m,ongoos that meant you could get in... but there was nothing down there.

has anyone mentioned the giant circle on the wall in one of the stone henge areas? i thought it was a door when i first saw it. heres to hoping first instincts are correct lol. ill try and get an image if you dont know what im talking about.

Holy crap.

You may be on to something.

Bungie did that for the secret writings on Valhalla, why not ODST? I'll change my date, time, and year, then go check.

NOTE: What if the Engineers spray painted the glyphs with glow int he dark spraypaint? It could be gangster graffiti in Engineer language. (Joking)

  • 10.06.2009 5:29 AM PDT

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out, or if it's even important, but there are some regular glyphs in the last part of Kikowani Station, on the right.

Also:

*Legendary Ending Spoiler*
















The engineers in Legendary ending have created Superintendent glyphs all over, and since those are rare and important, there has got to be something important about that cutscene, or that location itself.
