You can get on top of the second scarab by driving a mongoose, and jumping off of it, as you fall by its backside...

Once on, you can rocket the back of it to hell, and nothing will happen... The energy shield collapses, and the reactor looks as though its destroyed. However, there is no death animation for the scarab, it just continues to walk off screen...

Your unable to enter the turrets on the Scarab... But, if you jump backwards from the reactor, there is a groove you can fit in that allows you to bypass the invisible boundary, bringing you to an open field of death...


So yeah, I've yet to explore there, but given the ten second limitation, and the fact camera's can't go past the invisible boundary... I'd say exploration is needed to clarify whether anything secret is out there.


Here's a link to the video on how to board the second scarab, and showing that it is invulnerable. (-.-)

Fileshare Video


New Discovery- Unlocked! ^^


Nicely done. We can put that one to rest probably.

We've checked the Scarabs and I searched on top of all the AA guns I could find (I think missed the second Tip of the Spear one), so we need to look for other places that are likely to have secrets.

Simply a carefree fun loving person!

At-least that's one loose end tied up. xD

  • 09.20.2010 9:48 PM PDT

so the next thing im thinking of is exodus. theres is no reason why theres nothing there. i think thats our best bet.

A hero need not speak, for when he is gone the world will speak for him.

All these Easter Eggs have been discovered so quickly. I love this about the Halo games, I hope I can help in any small way. Will post anything discovered but at the very least I can help keep the thread alive lol.

One question for now though, these switches, elites, pads, were they all viewable in theater? Kinda makes me want to go watch through my recent legendary run through and see if theres anything around. (Though I assume most things, or a majority of undiscovered ones(if they remain) would require getting out of bounds and what not, where the camera wont go)

あなたはばかです。

This could make it easier to find the switches and BOBs.

maybe switches but not bobs, entities like the covenant dont render until the area is loaded. switches may remain to be able to be seen. it would help as far as if it is already found, just give someone the coordinates and they go find it rather than try to explain

Any one notice on the 7th data pad there are random capped letters that spell out HALO REACH PLANET?

Look for your self:
Data Pad 7

You need to scroll to the bottom of that page to see the passage

EDIT: So does 16

From their twitter, "We did that to see who is just copy pasting our transcripts. So far, LOTS. Including the Halo Wiki =/"

  • 09.20.2010 11:34 PM PDT

So has anyone gone through and collected all the legendary data pads and done all the missions in order without stopping?

  • 09.20.2010 11:41 PM PDT

Recon armor was not gifted or bestowed upon me. I earned it through blood, sweat, and tears. Road to Recon complete, on to the next challenge. Halo 3: 1750/1750, ODST: 1000/1000, Reach: 1400/1400.

There are too many online acronyms for me. What's a Bob?

just read the last few pages to find out what a bob is.

i proposed this earlier, but it got drowned. it was what if yuou do all of this in the security armor. after all, security comes from marathon and what better way to copy a marathon achievement without marathon "armor"

  • 09.21.2010 12:21 AM PDT

I will probably offend you

I'll make a list for everyone, so we can all stop confusing each other.

FACTS:

-BOB can appear on any difficulty, but seems to prefer Normal and Heroic, for whatever reason.

-Most BOBs are only semi-hostile

-Most levels contain 1-2 BOBs. 2 Being the Maximum.

-BOBs can be found in Co-op.

-Most BOBs will despawn anywhere from 25 seconds to little over a minute.

-BOBs Almost always Spawn on Checkpoints

-The Spec-Ops Elite with the data pad on Winter Contingency is NOT a BOB.

-The BOB on Lone Wolf will -blam!- your face if you are not cautious.


M2 Winter Contingency: 1 BOB (Possible 2). Spawns with Concussion Rifle. Many different Spawn locations. See Page 18 of this thread on my post of his many spawns. (There have been reports of a BOB Spawning with A Plasma Repeater, though this requires further investigation, until we can prove BOTH will spawn while playing through the level)

M3 ONI Swordbase: 1 Fake BOB. 2 Spawn locations. This Elite will Spawn as either a White Spec-Ops, or a White Officer Elite, Duel-Weilding Plasma Rifles. Will Spawn in the courtyard of Swordbase, or near the top level inside Swordbase. He is Not an Official BOB, however he is counted as one.

M4 Nightfall: 1 BOB. Spawns with Plasma Rifle. Seems to be able to Spawn on any of the Buildings throughout the level, but almost always spawns ON a building. (Needs more evidence, and more investigation)

M5 Tip of the Spear: 1 BOB (possible 2).First Spawns with Concussion Rifle, Second Spawns with Fuel Rod Gun. The First Spawns on the short hill right after getting the Rocket hog, and right before the AA gun. Very easy find. The Second, supposedly spawns in the rocks on the way towards the Spire, it is unknown if he lasts long enough to be killed by any means other than the Falcon turret, but if so, would seem rather difficult. This also needs investigation. More pictures of the Fuel Rod BOB would be great. More evidence proving his exact spawn location would be better. Evidence proving or disproving the spawning of both BOBs in the same level, would be absolutely ideal.

M6 Long Night of Solice: 1 BOB. Spawns with Concussion Rifle. Spawns in the Bridge. Pretty Straight-foreward.

M7 Exodus: 0 BOBs. There are no Elites in this level at all What-so-ever. Finding a BOB is doubtful.

M8 New Alexandria: 0 BOBs (so far). This Level is so vast there are many locations, and even more importantly, many timeframes & checkpoint activations. Finding any here, would take forever. Heres to hoping some brave souls decide to comb through this level, until we can confirm or deny the existance of any BOBs.

M9 The Package: 1 BOB (2 Possible). Spawns with Concussion Rifle. The first Spawns after Rally point Alpha, hang left, and go up the ramp, to meet him, and a squad of Jackals. The second, whether that be second BOB, or second spawn location for the first, Spawns after Rally point Bravo. We have pictures to confirm that he does indeed spawn, but nothing more than that. Further investigation required to prove exact Spawn location, and Checkpoint activation, that this "Second BOB" Spawns on. Also further investigation to see if the two BOBs of this level, will BOTH Spawn. If So, we know it is possible for 2 BOBs to Spawn on one level, and tus can finally confirm that 2 BOBs can indeed exist on the same level.

M10 Piller of Autumn: 1 BOB. Spawns With Concussion Rifle. This BOB Spawns after Rally point Alpha, in the garage where the Scorpion would Spawn, were you playing Invasion on Boneyard. Pretty Simple.

M11 Lone Wolf: 1 BOB. Spawns with Energy Sword. This Bob typically spawns some time after 7 minutes. More investigation is required to determine Spawn time to Difficulty, that being what time he spawns, in accordance to what difficulty the game is set to.


And thats it folks. So start investigating the things that need ivestigated, and hopefully we can get some of this stuff cleared up, so that we can further proceed with our hunt.

Funny I saw this, I have 2 Seek and Destroys but the only one I know for sure is the one on Long Night of Solace.

  • 09.21.2010 12:30 AM PDT

Something I just thought about lol. Ok the saying is Spartans never die.....so what of u just have to finish the campaign on legendary without dying once?

Btw love this thread, been watching it since it moved to its own separate thread lol.

  • 09.21.2010 12:35 AM PDT

You have to die at the end, but if that's your only death maybe...I remember how silly some of the secrets in the other halo games were...IWHBYD in Halo 2 and the skull in halo 3 where you had to jump through stupid hoops in a certain order to get it to drop from the sky...Literally there's endless possibilities that go into this and within a few weeks or days even I'm sure someone will crack the code and we'll find our last egg that bungie will ever give.

I was looking in exodus earlier today but, I failed to find a bob or a switch, though if there is a switch in there I'm fairly certain that it would do something with the many elevators that open but have nothing in them. though I found one elevator door that will not open, maybe the switch opens it?


Since difficulty affects the appearance of bobs, skulls may too :([/quote]


I searched exodus today too, I noticed that there were doors that were closed on easy that were open when my friends and I were on legendary. Outside of that I was jetpacking everywhere and even before you get one, I was jumping on top of civilians for extra height to explore areas. btw an ostrich burger or whatever those things are cost 7.77 :P

I'd expect a BOB on that level BECAUSE there's no other Elites. Perhaps he's activated by a switch?

  • 09.21.2010 2:15 AM PDT

You guys must not have looked at the odst threads. They had a million easter eggs in there and finding them all did absolutely nothing. Still fun to see.

  • 09.21.2010 2:22 AM PDT

Well tomorrow if there has been no further progress with Exodus ill go through it again on other difficulties. I didn't see any switches, I was punching all the keypads in the beginning but stopped. I'm also wondering if you can go off a ledge and reach a room underneath somewhere with a jet pack. But considering nothing has been found I'd say if something is there its either going to need a jet pack, or be in one of those rooms that open on a higher difficulty. This also applies to New Alexandria

everybody listen to mac2po he is 100% right

BOB may be a reference to the Marathon game. All the NPC humans on that game were called B.O.B (Born on Board). Maybe due to their spacey kind of look, they were meant to be similar in that they were even born on board a ship.

  • 09.21.2010 2:50 AM PDT

Not sure if it was already mentioned but there is an invisible switch I found on ONI: Sword Base the other day, and neither of the two screenshots in the OP look like it.

I already removed the screenshot from my file share, but if you want to find it pick the left path at the beginning and head east to the comm array. Walk into the middle of the buildings where the Revenant is and keep walking left all the way down to the shore line.

There will be a couple logs washed up there. Jump up on one of the big rocks thats all the way to your right (if you are facing the water) and move around on it a little bit until the ''press x to open door'' prompt comes up.

I checked out the "Tribute Room". It's pretty cool.

Has anyone considered collecting data pads whilst wearing the wrist armour that "stores data" (i can't remember what it is called). I'm not trawling through this thread to find out, but if not...

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!!

That's actually a pretty good point. Somebody want to try?

  • 09.21.2010 5:39 AM PDT

Gotta be a major for it and although that could be something, it'd unlikely because of the fact that it's an armor piece and they've came out and said that armor is just visual and has no impact on anything in the game.

Then again they probably are watching us right now going "Yes, visual only, don't buy the ugly wristband it won't do anything MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Or ya know something of that nature.
