Hey. I HAVE IMPORTANT NEWS!!!
The magical wall stopped changing on me. Its the sign with 3 SI faces. I'm not sure what I did. I'll run around and go to all the other sectors and return to have it be the same. I'll even go mess around in the same sector for a few minutes as well as an hour... I returned and its the same. I'll try and look into what I did. But I dont think I really did anything is the problem...

EDIT: I cant really find anything on this. So i am gonna postpone this til i can find all audio logs... that 29th one is practically impossible

Hey i dont know if anyone has said this before but the digsite lamps that light up when you approach them, there are similar lamp-ish objects lighting up the small caves in the beginning of the first level on the ark (halo 3) i actually think the level is called the ark. Anyways the same lamps are there wich tells us that the digsite lamps found in glyph locations and such are placed by engineers as they can only be found on the ark and in glyph locations at least i think so...

(if some of this information is wrong dont flame me, i dont know every single bit of the halo story.)

Does anyone know the significance of ASKLON and how it pertains to the mystery in the game?


Not, not quite, but here's some stuff.

Hey guys, I dunno if this means anything but throughout sector 4 there is a bunch of logos with what looks like braille but its not. I dunno if it has anything to do with these glyphs but i havent had much time to look into them. So I'm telling you guys if you'd like to check it out. It might seem dumb but ones you think are the same, arent. The logo could be the same with the letter "J" but the "braille" is different.


And for this, go here

ive researched alot of this thread and foot exploration in odst. anyone else found a door that doest open? only the door pad glows blue. not the door i keep meaning to take a pic of it but never remember to. i know excatly where it is though if i need to show anyone GT:MoroseDragon

Oo, sorry, couldn't find you a nice little link, so I'll explain.
The door's you are talking about are probably the elevator doors you use to go down to meet Dare. Because you can complete the missions in any order, there are many places where you can go down to underground. These places are right next to/near a mission clue. The doors panels' glow blue because you can open them, but not at that moment.
Capich?

All questions are solved here, Secret Glyph Project forum. Let us solve this mystery together!

dont know if anyone has posted this and it might just be an accident but many of the glyphs are shaped like the brake lights on many lamborghinis

I've been following this thread and the original thread from which this thread came to be.

I've got a suggestion: one might have to have found at least all 29 audio logs for any special secret event to occur.

  • 10.26.2009 5:35 PM PDT

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

I watched the count down,

number 5 was relating to the glyphs Joe staten (creative director at Bungie) said that the glyphs didn't tell clear cut stories (Suggesting a code?) that they represented forerunner ships? Perhaps if the glyphs are deciphered they take you to where a forerunner ship is?

Number 1 is interesting, once an area is made 'online' the super follows you around with his surveilance camera's? How do you make an area 'online', I constantly see SI signs stating the word 'offline' how do you change this? Perhaps its when you complete a level and a new section of the mombassa map opens up, or its something else?

Number 3 Sadies story, perhaps this points to the unlocking of weapons caches?

The rest have been discovered I believe, the only thing is when I played ODST on legendary I couldn't see the photo of rookies GF in the drop pod and yes I looked to the left on legendary?? Weird huh

Hey. remember those access buttons everyone kept talking about that disappear when the SI does on the magical wall? Well... there is alot more that disappears than just those button... I've gathered what all seems to disppear...

1. 3 RED access swtiches
2. 4-5 GREY access switches
3. A box that looks like it might be an electrical box of some sort

Looks like an airline almost.(or maybe a "spaceline") The symbol itself looks like the triplicate symbol in halo 2/3/odst multiplayer as well as the junior detective, gumshoe and super sleuth achievements.

Asklon logo has also resemblance to the glyphs, I think.

Yeah ive been looking at this alot and it seems that the ASKLON symbol is almost the same as the glyphs i think it means you need to investigate (because of the junior detective, gumshoe and super sleuth achievements as thegameenforcer1 said) or it couls be an anorgram or be part of an anorgram.

I've also noticed that near most of the glyphs there are dead elites and there are also dead elites at the "stone henges" and there are sometimes glyphs in the weapon caches along with the ODST symbol you will also see this symbol if you look closely at the trash in the streets and on some phone boxes.

I'll look into this on halo 3 as ive read that there are symbols around the prophet.

Ive also noticed that the audiofiles are named circle * arc *
im not sure if the names or words used in them could be the co-ordinates of Glyphs stonehenges clues or dead elites but unless I find all of them ill have to wait until I find out.

ive found an ODST symbol on one of the stones in a stone henge on the inside of the cicle its the one with the eyes that look sad i think each different symbol is a different ODST i.e Dutch Buck Rookie Ect because on different missions on the top right a different symbol appears when you play a different character.i'll post a screenshot as soon as i get one also scarey music started to play when i looked at it and the 2 engineers started to make noises. perhaps the glyphs are some kind of starmap it would make sense if ASKLON was a space port company of some sort ASKLON could also stand for something.also ive seen the engineers making and changing the symbols this could be a clue.

Umm, ODST symbol? You mean Superintendident face, right?

Different symbol? In the loading screen, you mean, or in what?

Music changes pretty randomly, no proof there is that looking at engineers/stones/glyphs/anything triggers music.

Asklon an space port/something company? Idea I like. Starmap would be possible too, since the Squidhenge has resemblance to the real-live Stonenhenge, which was probably used as a star map...

Engineers Changing glyphs? Haveb't noticed, doubt it but I'll look into it anyway.

they norally stop when they notice your watching them if you see them useing strange blue beams on the walls thats them changing them try looking at them trough a sniper scope that could help.

im currently mapping out everywhere i see the glowing glyphs it seems that from what ive allready mapped that the Oni biulding has alot of glyphs in weapon caches and around the biulding but none inside.
i'll need to unlock all of the caches by getting all the audiofiles though ><.

i have some corrections to make in the following
changes in the music is proberly random.
yes i do mean the superintendant symbol.
and yes i do mean the loading screen.

i think that the engineers could be the forerunners i dont have much knowledge if any on halos 2 3 and halo wars so correct me if im wrong its only a wild geuss.

hey thats kinda like the audiofile with the old woman with the shotgun and she told everyone to stay away from her slot machine and then brutes came and killed her when theyre in the casino i think its circle 3 arc 1 if u wanna check it out. could the "stone henge" have something to do with the 7th column? look at my fileshare if you want to see what i mean.

perhaps the audiofiles are sort of imprinted on the walls by the engineers that would make sense because they store infomation from the superintendant i think theyre certainly related to the forerunners in some way.if you have alll the audiofiiles please tell BC1096 where sadie went i only have 21 of the audiofiles.p.s.the audio file achivements have the superintendant symbol and all of them.
