everyone listen we are kind of over exaggerating the bobs play a big par in this and let me just point out BoB's have Nothing to do with the forge world secret because there is NO forge world secret
when did bungie say there was???? its a community Myth

why are we saying things in this where we are not willing to try out

i say we think of something smaller like going to the end bit of exodus and then before the last checkpoint going back to where you start of in exodus and maybe the BoB is there...
not stuff like you have to 360 no scope in the air activating a switch and then going out of exodus picking up the scarab gun and using it to kill Evil Otto and then finding a new halo ring with a BoB guarding it...

Why would a bob be outside the level on exodus or NA? no other bobs require going outside the mission

Let's kill some BOBS and then check their blood color, because on the BOB medal the BOB is bleeding purple, do Elites normally bleed purple?

Yes, they do normally bleed purple.

Why would the IWH skull thingy cant remember the name be harder to find the rest by requiring a combination of things? Bungie likes to screw with people....

Assguards are only important to people who run away from danger. Personally, I like to throw myself into danger facefirst, in a beautiful swan dive.

Great to see people are putting a lot of work into this. Hopefully it doesn't end up like the Secrets of Sandtrap and be buried under the dead Bobs.

Bungie has been known for their trickery. Plus not all Bobs are found through the same means, it's reasonable that the Bobs on Exodus or NA are hidden somewhere out of bounds.

I would like to request that the OP mention how the NA and Exodus Banshees are NON-HIJACKABLE. This has been brought up many, many times and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's sick of hearing people make suggestions for this LOL.


Wow. No. I've hijacked several Banshees on New Alexandria. Banshees in Exodus are non-hijackable, yeah, but that's not true for New Alexandria.


Wow. The one with the BoB inside is not hijackable, just because the others are.

Posted by: GenerateX3
I think the switch thing has something to do with it. People have found switches in some levels. Like the one in New Alexandria that unlocks the Pelican, or Phantom. Theres also one on The Pillar Of Autumn that unlocks 4 banshees, but nobody knows what for yet. It may be like Annual or something, but I think it may have something to do with it.


Just to clarify, it's actually on The Package.

Yes. The Elite blood has been purple consistently all the way through the series. It's bursting out blood on the medal to indicate that it has been killed.

Hey guys, I think after the hundreds of playthroughs on both New Alexandria and Exodus, there are NO walking BOBS. The Banshee BOBS are the correct BOBS for these levels.

If anything guys, search on Youtube for all the BOB locations, and then set off and kill each one on Legendary.

As of right now I'm accessing each Data Pad, as I've all ready killed a BOB on each level.

Yeah, I am really tired and didn't realize that Elites always bleed purple, I feel stupid now. haha

Has anyone tried a Vidmaster run yet? BOBs and switches were always a big part of the Vidmaster Challenge and they were included in Reach for a reason. I'd do it myself if I had any confidence in my abilities.

Can you be on a lot for long periods of time at GMT timezone based times?

  • 04.30.2011 11:44 AM PDT

It's 11 45 here, probably be on until 4, then later until midnight

Anyone going to BOB hunt today with me:
I would really like to do the Lone Wolf mission if at all possible,as every other BOB is easy to get. I also wont be on until later tonight (5 or 6 PM, and to help judge time, I live in California)

Did you try some less obvious things in your playthroughs (like sticking behind to kill 3-5 more waves on long night of solace) or were they mainly just looking in random places? did you try staying behind in the flying bug room after hitting the switch? I'm pretty confident that there is a way to get a seek and destroy medal on each mission. don't forget what duardo said earlier about other bobs being on those missions
maybe with all the mayhem and different theories flying around, we start jumping to conclusions about data pads, switches, etc. but with a relatively fresh perspective, i feel like one bob kill on each mission just seems so simple and fitting

Thanks for the 10 years B.

I like your theory.

  • user homepage:

On NA, their might be a hidden bob outside of the map somewhere, after you get the pelican and phantom, you can fly outside of the map, and their might be some form of secret room or invisible platform with a bob behind the games background textures/animations, or it could be hidden in that. Has anyone tried searching their? Also, you would probablly have to reach that area within [blank] amount of time, after hitting the pelican/phantom easter egg switch.

Subject: The "BOB" Helmet Theories (Bungie, give us a hint please!)

in new alexandria i have found one non-banshee BOB. i was on co-op legendary and as soon as i started i went to the club and the music was off (maybe glitch)he was just walking around so i killed him quickly after that i went outside and my falcon was gone (i was playing co-op on the same xbox so i could see if the other person had it and they didnt) im pretty sure it was BOB but it was a long time ago like december. if someone would check this out again maybe it'll help?

You are an obvious liar, and a horrible troll. Everyone ignore this post, I can tell he is lying because covenant AI cannot pilot a falcon correctly, and he referred to New Alexandria as exodus

I have a BOB medal for all missions but Exodus and New Alexandria. No "walking" BOB has EVER been found on these two missions.

Now, maybe you don't get a medal for the two levels and you just have to kill each BOB on Legendary, who knows.

I experiment everyday with the theories.
Maybe you gotta do something in the other Levels ([previous) to unlock those to?

No, not a plausible theory. You would need to be able to enter the mission on legendary, and find the bob without the means of a gamesave.

The easiest way of finding a bob is by playing a mission on Legendary like normal. But then go into theater after searching through the map that way.
