Subject: Glyphs and treasure hunting; the truth about the Sword in ODST

The best event in the Halo series was the grunt rebellion!

Listen to some of this on, this site.

Okay I have an idea, well it kinda won't work but. Well we could form a group to find ALL of the glyphs. It sounds impossible, but it could be true. I will try to look around all I can to find even the smallest clue to help us find it. But than again... it might be a lost cause.

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

Glyphs are generally found in four different types of locations:

1) Near plot items you need to trigger flashbacks, e.g. Recon Helmet. There the glyphs serve as signposts directing you to said items.

2) Near and/or inside supply caches.

3) Near and around dead Elites.

4) In areas where Engineers are all by themselves without other Covenant.

You mean all the variants or all of their locations and amount of them?

The SGP is still working on the glyphs, and we have quite a database of them in our hands...You should check out the forum and do some digging. We do have pretty much all of the data I described, but they are only available to our members ATM (Sorry!).

If someone is still interested in joining the Hunt, give me or some else member a heads-up. :)

Could the unactivated sword hilts near the dead elites be moved by grenades? If so, could you somehow blast them that they hit another player and kill him/her?

If this sounds dumb, sorry. I just watched a high-speed cone kill :D

Or do the Zombielite thing near the elites with the sword hilt?

As in the different types and possibly the amount.

You don't mess with the Thompsen!!

I have a fresh theory on the Y-shaped glyphs. It has been a while since I last played ODST, but I recall almost all glyphs having one or two dots. Maybe the glyphs can be used as directional signs, or maybe they guide the direction on the closest Y-shaped intersection so you can find the next 'instruction'. Ill try this during my summer break.

Yep, that's been covered. (Recalculation is still on the way, though.)

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

My guess is the sword was scrapped in the last minute like the Machete that was going to be in Halo 1, the engineer in H1, the Flood Juggernaught in H2, and 1/3 of H2's campaign. I also saw footage of the weapon files of ODST and there was no sword.

Oddly enough, Zombielites works differently on Tayari Plaza.

You can see the entire discussion here.

I just checked and the sword picture is also in the images for the weapons in odst just click view image on one of the weapons and replace the name with sword. http://www.bungie.net/images/halo3stats/odst/weapons/gif_med/ sword.gif I think you're right. okay i also checked and it is a new image heres the halo 3 image url here notice how the image is different too.


I just found the Skyjacker medal. Haven't been able to Skyjack a Banshee though.
There is a glitch to skyjack a Banshee. It's like the Anti Air Wraith glitch. Maybe getting the sword is a glitch.

That's because in the level Kikowani Station, you can get in banshees and hijack them. When you do the banshee glitch, you actually kill the driver and get into the banshee before it explodes. Therefore it is not a skyjack.

Guys when the si says "slow down, bill past due" i think he wants you to turn back and trigger something at the building marked "7". Bungie loves this number so maybey its not a coincidence.

  • 09.12.2011 1:14 PM PDT

I think there is no sword in ODST. I did at first but after almost 2 years of searching there is no sword.
