Satan OScillate My Metallic SOnataS

Im not so sure there is any kind of easter egg, unlockable, or hidden content that would be so complicated as killing all these bobs, discovering all the data pads etc.etc. I have a feeling that if there was it would be an achievement, or someone would have discovered it by breaking down reach to its source code or however that works.

I disagree only because this is a Halo game. They are notorious secret hiders, and they do it in the most ridiculous ways. ESPECIALLY Halo 2.

Remember the Scarab Gun? You had to kill all the enemies in the first part of the level minus 1 banshee, then shoot at it enough while in the tunnel to make it follow you inside. Then you had to lure it for a few minutes without letting it turn back. After you hit a "Loading" screen you had about 3 seconds to board it before you got the "Checkpoint" screen and it would disappear. If you do all this correctly, you can fly the banshee to the top of a random bridge and get a plasma rifle that shoots Scarab shots.

Yeah, Bungie is insane about this stuff. This kind of thing is right up their alley. Even if there's not some special "thing" for doing it all, they definitely expect us to work for it.

Anyone look into this passage from the journal?
"Must go. SOON!! Jerrod says perimiter is compromised. Base AI denies it. I'll trust Jerrod and my own security protocols! Skeleton personnel refuse to go. The bastards finally found us. Took long enough. PURGE CODE is Beta-Foxtrot-998741 overrideFail-safe: Ragnarock in case something happens to me and the journal survives. NOBLE Team here. It's time."


When I first read the code, it reminded me of jumping through the rings in Halo 3. Maybe access the terminals on those levels in that order or something?

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.


Yeah, this is the second Reach Racer button. The pics in the OP only show the first button. If you press this one and the first at the same time, you're teleported to the beginning with gauss warthogs.

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

I haven't seen an answer to this but, the medals you get for killing them, do you only get them once per Bob? Meaning a max number of medals and Bobs or is it endless (perhaps killing a large number, after all you must 'wipe them out' will unlock something)

So I've got a few questions.

1. There are data pads and bobs, however nobody has found if they serve a purpose?

2. And, a legendary ending is mentioned in the director commentary video but no one knows if it exists or have found out how to trigger it?

Does anyone know if there is somewhere to watch it online?

It seems like you get a medal every time you kill ANY bob.

No one has gotten the legendary ending to unlock, so it's no where online.

And the data pads at least provide a very interesting side story. They could serve a larger purpose. The bobs, as of now, are only there to be hunted. Any reward for killing them is still being sought. We're fairly sure we haven't found them all yet.

  • 09.21.2010 9:43 AM PDT

Thanks! And I meant is there anywhere online that I can watch the commentary that came with the legendary edition?

Huh alright then... I only have killed 2 apparently. 100 seems like a number to shoot for but then again, why have so many all over. It was just a guess, but looks like it wont be the answer.

We can dual wield what's left of this.

The two switches have been revealed to unlock "Reach Racer."

huh? you should ask the person you heard it from where that is. there are plenty of codes that may work(datapads).

on another note anyone want to help me complete legendary today and press the mysterious button to see if that works?

Could it be the code from the journal? (below)

"Must go. SOON!! Jerrod says perimiter is compromised. Base AI denies it. I'll trust Jerrod and my own security protocols! Skeleton personnel refuse to go. The bastards finally found us.

I find it intriguing... and creepy. As stated above though, the purge code is in the journal, it could be connected.

There are a lot of keypads in Exodus. I'll see if I can find what he's talking about.

About that Eagle thing: They said an Eagle WAS going to land on your helmet.

  • 09.21.2010 10:18 AM PDT

not sure if i am the first one to notice but if you kill the invisible elite on winter contingency it drops a datapad

  • 09.21.2010 10:21 AM PDT

Light up keypad try your codes everyone

While I was playing the level "Exodus"....atleast I think it was that level there is a number pad on the wall next to a door when you first start the level. If you shoot the numbers with the pistol then they will light up blue just a little bit.

  • 09.21.2010 10:25 AM PDT

I heard the commentary and they said "Did you ever get that eagle to come down? No, that's only in legendary. Oh so it'll only be for the legendary ending, but it's in there and working? Yeah it's there"
