You can still complete the level from the tribute room, there is a switch inside it.

But dont some side missions on New Alexandria require you to shoot?

Jew, you are 100% correct.

Also, many switches within Halo: Reach stop you from progressing in the level, as seen with Reach Racer on ONI and the out of bounds switch from The Package.

New Alexandria is the ONLY level where when you hit a switch, it does not stop you from progressing in the level, making this Vidmaster do-able on the mission.

That and Exodus has no switches.


It would make sense to be New Alexandria. I would try this, but I'm really not bothered with playing Reach anymore.

But to anyone that wants to try, you must finish New Alexandria meeting the following criteria:

- Hit all Switches (Maybe Pelican one, too)
- Zero Shot, Grenades only
- Legendary (Maybe Mythic)
- Kill BoB Banshee

Get the AI gunners in your side seat to do the fighting.

Good idea could it be that there is a daily or weekly challenge that triggers the BOB's on certain levels

Pain. Agony. My hatred burns through the cavernous deeps. The world heaves with my torment. Its wretched kingdoms quake beneath my rage. But at last, the whole of Azeroth will break! And all will burn beneath the shadow of my wings! My name is Deathwing. I am power incarnate! You are nothing but shadows of the past!

Isn't it possible that the BOB's on Exodus and New Alexandria are white Bob's? Just like the one in Sword Base.

Deal with it.

Can you get into the Corvette on Exodus?

Hey guys, were starting the hunt. Wish us luck!

Updated the first page with a GREAT video series showing every single BOB location in Reach. The video series isn't mine, but it's by a guy who's just as crazy about BOB as I am.

Give them a watch in the Q&A section.

  • 05.01.2011 12:08 PM PDT

Good luck LC.

Bungie, please, we need at least confirmation (I know the helmet is real) that the helmet exists, because some people on this forum, dispite all the evidence, still think it's fake.

"If you want to test a man's character, give him power" -- Abraham Lincoln

Maybe on Exodus the BOB is outside the map. I was able to use a jetpack when you touch down on the beach to jetpack around the cliffs to get back to the city area, and there were no killzones, only barriers to stop you from getting places, although I went REALLY far. Is it possible he could be hiding there? If I could get that far back and not die, it may very well be possible he is hiding there.

Any thoughts on this?

Yes Nerf, I know this, but some people, even despite this, still people think it's fake, and that annoys me.

I personally think it's bogus that there was a "new" helmet on that picture.

I almost want to think it was created on purpose as paying respect to "Bob" and the game Marathon.

I think you guys are just wasting your time.

I can confirm that killing one BOB on each level on Legendary rewards you nothing.

Go ahead and post ALL BOB locations and vids proving your statement then.

You're missing the Bob on Legendary Lone Wolf, smart one.

It takes a while for the stats to load, last time I got a Bob kill it took 2 days for it to load. So, yeah. There must be another method to this.

Perhaps it has to load on bungie.net before it activates the reward for your account? I know that recon in Halo 3 used to be unlocked by having someone's gamertag flagged on this website.

The Undead Army!!!!

Listen everyone I have a theory perhaps the white elites represent the silver skulls and the gold rangers represent the gold ones so I'm thinkin on Oni you have to find and kill a white and gold one!?

You killed the Lone Wolf BOB on Legendary? Do you have a vid of this being accomplished?

LC, link us to the game if you could, I will add you to the OP as the person who busted the theory.

Did you read anything I just wrote? You should wait till it loads before busting the theory.
