I've been following this thread from the start and I really hope this is where the secrets of Halo: Reach and it's Legendary ending are solved. I haven't yet done anything to contribute but I do have a few theories and suggestions that may help.

Perhaps 4 player co-op is significant. If you recall the VidMaster achievements from Halo 3 and ODST, Annual and Deja Vu, you were required to complete the final mission on Legendary 4-player co-op with Iron. Parts of the level were different only if all of these requirements were met. If it hasn't been done
all ready, I suggest someone tries Lone Wolf on Legendary 4 player co-op with Iron on and complete the objective untill time runs out and the cutscene is forced. I'll be happy to join anyone else that wants to give this a go.
My other suggestion is to form and organise several BoB kill squads, secrets
search parties and theory test groups from this thread in order to find things more efficiently and test out the various theories quicker.


Thats a pretty good idea but whos gonna do what?

tbh, i would be happy to help if im on and not busy, sounds like a good idea and with halo 3 and odst both having vidmasters with something changing due to a slight diffrence (iron) it may be possible.
The only difference i think, it may not be lone wolf... it could be the piller of autumn seeing as lone wolf, altough has an objective, is considered a mission. My reasons for this:
You recive the achievemant for completeing campaign on normal+ before this
there is no achieveable objective(that is known of yet)
After about 5 minutes, this mission becomes practically impossible

There is a new discovery with switches it seems. Halo Reach Planet has said they discovered a switch that spawns 4 banshees in Campaign.

Does anyone else have any more information on this?

Just seems to prove there is moar to find. :P

  • 09.24.2010 10:13 AM PDT

im not sure if this has already been found but,
My friend has a reported kill with a "skull" the description being "everyone has secrets"... the weapon is called classified and it was done on the last mission (Lone Wolf)
I have ruled out it being a Bob (he hasnt killed a bob or been killed by a bob on this level)
i was wondering if anyone could help.

We know that you will get a skull kill on the 2nd mission if you kill the camo elite with the data pad. However, we have not discovered what is causing the skull kills or deaths on other levels.

grrr.. i spent so much time trying to figure out what that switch did. o well good find, but at least i can now try to figure out what those banshees go to.

on another note, i do not know if this is already known, ive been reading this thread for a while, but remember the creepy voice on datapad 10? as far as i can tell there is a voice on each datapad. i have not found all of them but i know there is one on datapad 1,2,9, and the known ten. if someone could play these voices backwords then it may lead to a clue or something

I wonder what completing the level on four player legendary co-op iron on, with everyone in Banshees does... Perhaps it spawns something on the final level?

im almost 100% sure that there is somthing to find with those banshees because they can break thedeath barriers. im flying out side the map as we speek

  • 09.24.2010 10:41 AM PDT

guys i have some info for you that must be meaning something i have found some code on a object in the game well its spoken through the coms unit in the oni bace- the code is 15741712 mabe its a sequence of things to do like the rings in halo 3 - ime not sure but it must mean something- its coming from spartan 117 aka firebird - talks about hes got a spartan down and needs evak-

  • 09.24.2010 10:42 AM PDT

i need people right now to try and find a object with you can enter a code into or a object- you know what- i have it! the terminals in the seceret room how meny are there?

  • 09.24.2010 10:44 AM PDT

i am to become more of a believer to the fact you need to beat the game on legendary with 4 people. because it does make it harder and the vidmaster said ful carnage or w/e. and with that easter egg there is 4 banshees. maybe on legendary 4 players there is somthing revealed out the map of package.

im looking for anything now

Yeah, It's going to take some time, even on a Banshee. Keep at it!

  • 09.24.2010 10:52 AM PDT

I am im checking the background mountains as we speek... why is this dang thing so slow!!!!

so far nothing. this could be a scarub gun thing where you gave to take it with you through the level.

  • 09.24.2010 10:55 AM PDT

another added note to the bansee's, once you click the buttons to get the banshee's you can not destroy the AA guns. I am thinking that you have to destroy the guns first because otherwise parts of the map wont load because you cant move on. Whatever it is we are looking for may not be there because we cant move on because we prematurely got the banshees. If anyone wants to look w/me GT is odstsniper189 on xbl.

Going to beat the campaign on 4player co-op legendary
Going to beat it in one day, so hit me up for an all-nighter, if it will take that long

Just beat the game on solo legendary, and from experience solo is much harder than co-op

so hit me up if you wanna do 4player co-op legendary

While you may be onto something with the terminals in the tribute room, I have been (slowly) working a theory that you have to read the datapads in a specific order, finishing with 19, to resolve this 'special ending' issue. I posted this earlier as a reply to another topic:

Posted by: KanawhaPhoenix
"i apologize if what you found seems out of order
but ive been busy covering my tracks" (per Datapad 19)


There is perhaps another level to the riddle - it's not as simple as reading the data pads in numerical order, but in the order the first page is supposed to be in to make it a semi-coherent monologue. Much like jumping through the rings in Halo 3 in a specific order to unlock IWHBYD.

I haven't spent much time ordering these (because quite frankly the daily riddles of life take precedence over what may not be a riddle in a video game), but I suspect the "proper" order starts with Datapads 7 then 9 then 4, and ends with 19. The clues to their order may be in the rest of the text of 19.

Just an idea....


Your numbers, 1-5-7-4-..., or 15-7-4-... may be that order, or the start of the order, or completely random nonsense that we're grabbing at. But I still think if you can find an order for the "other's" comments in the datapads, reading them in that order (and finishing with 19) may unlock something.

Are there other number sequences dropped in the game that we've missed?

I'm interested, but don't have the time to invest in researching further.
