So ive read first strike and was going back through halo 2 and i needed to clarify a few things..

1. Regret knew the coordinates to "the artifact" (aka portal to ark which coincidentally happened to be earth) from either the forerunner structure under castle base/the remnants of the crystal locklear destroyed that squeezed through slipspace that the covenant later retrieved?

2. He got there, realized he was outnumbered by unsc fleet and had no means to activate the portal, must have learned the coordinates of delta halo at the site of the portal? (if someone could clarify that part for me) and then slipspace jumped to delta halo from earth.

3. He went to delta halo only to activate it? thinking he will ascend to the likes of a god as per the belief of the great journey? There was no intent to return to the portal on earth since he didnt know how to activate it? Or is there something special about delta halo in regards to the portal? As far as i understand if ANY ring misfires (which his intent didnt seem to be to misfire the ring) then they all go into standby and the portal/ark is activated.

4. The only way to activate the ark is to have all the halos in standby for simultaneous fire. Is the only way to achieve all the rings being in standby to misfire one ring? That seems silly, making the ark only accessible through some inefficient process of purposely misfiring a ring?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to clarify some of these details.

I dont think misfireing a Halo is the only way to put it on standby. There might be another way.

Yes you can manually activate the array by going to The Ark.
