Easy Carter's helmet avatar

You normally have to complete a level on the Legendary difficulty without dying to unlock Carter's helmet avatar. However, you can instead play up until just before the end of a level, and select "Save and Quit" after a checkpoint. Then, resume the game, and complete the rest of the level without dying to unlock Carter's helmet avatar.

Alternate Club Errera music Easter Egg in "New Alexandria" mission

When you reach Club Errera in the "New Alexandria" mission, return to the hospital. Fly to one of the ledges below the normal entrance. You should see a green light at the correct ledge. Activate it, and go back to Club Errera. When you walk in, the song "Never Surrender" will be playing. To change the music again, return to your Falcon, and fly to the roof of Club Errera. Activate the switch located there to hear the "Siege Of Madrigal" song at Club Errera. Note: Go to Club Errera after it is cleared to see a Brute DJ and bartender, and Grunts dancing to the music.

Secret Reach Racer mini-game Easter Egg in "Oni: Sword Base" mission

Play the "Oni: Sword Base" mission with two players in a co-op match on the Normal difficulty or higher. There are two hidden switches that are marked as "doors" that you can open. Both of them can be found after Rally Point Alpha (where you must destroy the Wraiths). The first switch is on the coast of the water southeast of the buildings with a pair of switches that you must activate. The second switch is on some rocks near the frozen waterfall. The message "Hold B to open door" will appear when you are in the correct location. Note: Reload your weapon before trying to find it. The second switch is past the AA cannon in the next area. Search for the pile of rocks with some trees on it that overlook the walled complex on the ice that is below the area. With both players standing at those locations, press B simultaneously. The message "Current Objective: Reach Racer" will appear. You will be transported to the Oni: Sword Base with two Gauss Cannon Warthogs. You can race the other player through a course marked by red waypoints. The losing Warthog will explode at the end of the race.

Hidden Tribute Room Easter Egg in "The Package" mission

Play "The Package" mission with two players on the Legendary difficulty. Start at Rally Point Bravo, and continue until Dr. Halsey announces that her lab is open. Do not enter the lab or use the panel on the door to end the mission. Get an unmarked Jet Pack from the wall at the northern side of the lab entrance area. Have one player remain in a safe location, and have the other player fly to the far eastern line of buildings. Run up the ramp, and turn left (north). Notice the fenced-off area on the upper level lines the out-of-bounds region to the northeast. Drop off the northeastern corner, and carefully move towards the rocky out-of-bounds area below. Do not touch it. Hover above it, and search for a panel with a green light which you can access on a girder. Press X to activate it. This opens a door on the north side of Halsey's lab entrance. Some Elites with Energy Swords will appear from there. Fly over them or run a Ghost through them, then enter the open door. You will be transported to a hallway. Follow the hallway to the lab area, where you can see hidden features including old Halo artwork and data panels with joke text.

Master Chief Easter Egg in "The Pillar Of Autumn" mission

Select the "The Pillar Of Autumn" mission. Set the difficulty to Normal, and start at Rally Point Bravo. Once you take control over the large laser cannon, fight off all the Phantoms until a cutscene featuring a Covenant Battle Cruiser exploding and The Pillar Of Autumn starting to take off. When the cutscene begins, hold the Right Analog-stick Right. At the part where the Pelican is coming inside the ship, your camera will automatically move to the right, and you will see Master Chief in Cryo sleep, inside a Cryo Tube wearing his Mark V armor.

Fix'd and shouldn't this be in the Halo: Reach Forum?

  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

op, your post defiles the Halo 3 forum, but you do well for your efforts. I have made similar posts.

This being the best easter egg in Halo 3. Can you find this in Reach?

Reach is great, possibly greater than Halo 3, but Halo 3 is also good. I don't know why people hate Halo 3 so much. It disappoints me to see such negative comments.

Btw, God mode looks -blam!- badass!

Yes, I suppose I would like to write an appropriate response but I'm in the Halo 3 forum, nevermind.
