just so you guys know its imbossible to land on the scarabs, you just bounce off:(

Are you saying it is impossible to destroy them?

Gocha. I did try to shoot some rockets into the back shields but I could never hit. I don't know if there's an invisible wall or if its just a really hard shot. You definitely can't shoot the leg joints like the old game.

I'll keep looking around those levels though. So far, there are 2 switches in all the levels in which they've been found.

So far we have:

Winter Contingency
ONI: Sword Base - the co-op warthog switches
Nightfall
Tip of The Spear
Long Night of Solace
Exodus
New Alexandria - the rave switch and the Siege of Madrigal
The Package - the mystery switch and the Tribute Room switch
The Pillar of Autumn
Lone Wolf

I'm definitely assuming there are more.

Has anyone tried hitting both switches on The Package (the mystery switch near the beginning and the Tribute Room switch) to see if any more doors open in the underground cave or if something is different in the Tribute Room?

Hey, I am wondering if I should make a thread for a single list of every single Bob encountered. That way I dont have to keep updating the op and there would be more space as well as reserved posts for the sake of adding to the list. Tell me what you think everyone. This thread would be the List thread and would not need anyone to post in it.


If you do, post a link in this thread so people watching this one dont miss it.

So are we assuming at this point that something will unlock when every Bob in the game is killed? Considering the description says "Wipe them out...."

Or is that a reference?

All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

Gonna see if I can find out what all these switches do..It's very curious.

Yeah, those are more interesting to me. It would be worth looking around all the other levels to see if there is actually one switch-based easter egg per level.

Yeah, ive noticed a few random switches around the game, its just a matter of finding out how to make them activate and then figuring out what they do, which could be hard.

Maybe you should try hitting the two switches at the same time?

  • 09.20.2010 7:28 AM PDT

So it's 4:30am....

See this is why I <3 Bungie. They add loads of secret stuff into their game that expands the campaigns experience for us hardcore Bungie/Halo fans. Like the IWHBYD skull on Halo 3, or the Scarab Gun on Halo 2.

Keep up the hard work guys. I would help, but I don't have the time and/or motivation to find this out, although I'm really interested.

This is amazing. Nice collaboration you guys. You've inspired me to work with my cousin and pour over the missions to look for what we need using all the info found in this thread.

I'm pretty sure the Scarabs are invulnerable. My brother and I jumped off of each other's heads and were able to get on the first scarab. I went to the back and tried to destroy it, but instead of a nice orange flesh, it was just black and untextured. Orange blood did come out, but I don't think it was dying.

Interesting, because I did see the shield covering what would be the death-spot from the ground.

Did you try riding it as far as you could? Because they do go off the map. Someone should definitely try that =]

This probably isn't possible. The first switch is about 3 minutes into the level, and the other is at the very end, and there is at least 1 big cutscene/forced transportation in between.

I ran through the level and checked every door I could find with no obvious changes. I definitely found some glitchy spots, but nothing significant.

Even though most of the switches are actually involved with opening secret doors, the ONI Base and New Alexandria music switch aren't. So it seems like the Package one probably isn't either.

Has anyone checked for that switch in the ONI Base level in the same spot? I doubt its there, but I'm curious.

I did fly out of the scarab as it was leaving the map, but I wasn't sure if it was the map barrier or the scarab climbing at too high of an angle. I'm betting it was the map barrier, but given how easy it was to fall of it on my first attempt, it could've been the horrible footing you have while on it.

Yeah, I figured something like that would happen. It would be interesting if you could either jump down onto an unreachable platform, or if you could like lodge yourself inside the scarab in such a way that you don't fly out.

I would pay money to see the video if you just rocketed out through the back of a scarab and splattered against the ground. =]

It's also worth trying to look around both as fast as you can, or with the theater camera, to see if there are any switches on them somewhere.

Here are some, taken from the background of Datapad One. It is yet to be see if they change on other pads or difficulties...

Cool!

I don't know if this helps but i was on 2 player co-op on winter contingency, and we found the second bob in the level ( when you're in the flatbed truck and the bob comes across the small bridge). It attacked us with its concussion rifle, so i guessed it was aggressive. I was too far away to spot it but my friend started shooting it. He meleed it, its shields died, and it disappeared, like Bobs do. I didn't understand why it attacked us though, as i thought Bobs weren't aggressive, except the one on lone wolf. I was also on normal difficulty....

I played legendary solo the first time around and it says i killed a bob. Dont know when or were, but now im searching for them. My "first" bob is on winter contingency. Its not on the bridge like most found, it is in a building. Anyone want to look for them with me on legendary my gamertag is ODSTSniper189. send me a message saying find bob and ill play. anyway heres a pic.

PS. i think i figured out what the "mysterious button" is on the mission the package at the start. As far as i can tell it only changes ur main screen pic to a devastated reach city. It only lasts a day and it will change as soon as u press it.

Okay, well here's the old Marathon Vidmaster rules if you guys don't know about it/haven't seen it.

So the Marathon challenge boils down to "Total Carnage (Legendary), Hit all switches, and kill all BOBs"


It is THIS. To the OP, perhaps?
Will probably trigger the legendary ending.
