Hackers destroyed one of the most secret, long term Easter Eggs of Halo 3: The IWHBYD skull. This was meant to take AGES to find. Hackers ruined it pretty quickly. Don't you think Bungie would have stepped up their game against the hackers for Halo: Reach?
What, like the Package pelican/phantom that was found by a guy who reverse engineered their scripting? Totally stepped up their game by using the same BLAM engine generation as halo 3. (Note, I'm not cursing, it literally is called the blam engine)

Don't hate the player, learn by them.

Maybe the BoB isn't an Elite, but a robot? Or an A.I.?

I mean, that would give a logical explanation to the weird nobody flying them BoBshees.

Could also mean that the Bob may be something other then an Elite? I dunno.

He could be in a Phantom even? I know a spot where a phantom will just sit there for ages until you progress further through the level (a friend of mine and me where hopping in the turrents and trying to despawn with it, no luck because of the killzone but still a good waste of a fun time).

So, yeah. Nothing for killing one BOB per mission on Legendary. Next, I'm going to try and kill EVERY BOB per mission on Legendary. That is, after I verify I've retrieved all the datapads and hit all known switches.

Any tips? I think I should try to recap which BOBs I've taken down...

WC: BOB that spawns by far base and runs up hill. I also "believe" the one that spawns by Datapad was taken down as well.
ONI: Courtyard and Interior.
NF: First large combat encounter, assassinated by bridge.
TOTS: Splattered by Bravo generator w/ Banshee.
LNOS: I want to say I've gotten the drop pod and bridge versions. Unsure of drop pod haven't gotten it in a long time.
EX: Gotten both BOBshees. Falcon landing/Beach head.
NA: Fast and low.
TP: Base interior. (missing courtyard + dropship)
TPOA: Garage baddie.
LW: Sword-wielder around 15m mark 13-15 kills.




thx for trying that theory...

datapads should be pretty straightforward in comparison to the BOB hunt...

anyway, here's a list of most BOB locations, probably not all of them:

Can i haz reconz?

Theres a banshee bob in nightfall. I will put video very soon. I'm not troll. Its at end of the mission. Sorry for bad english. Im not troll!

  • 06.28.2011 6:16 AM PDT

i believe doing the reach campaign L.A.S.O. switch all the switches kill every bob along the way and we will get the answer to life.

in other words. To be a true VIDMASTER!!!!!!!!!
the Vidmaster oath is to throw gernades hit switches and kill all bobs.
and to be a vidmaster is to be the master of marathon but in this case halo reach. and the only way to be a vid master is to the hardest dificulty which is laso.

That guy only found that Pelican Easter Egg after Bungie told us it was there. I don't understand why people think hackers are some kind of gods who can do whatever they please and see whatever they please on the disks.

Instead of collecting both Data Pads on each mission at once, try collecting them in the correct order. Don't get Data Pad #1 and #9 in the same mission, collect 1-9 on Normal then revisit the levels and then retrieve 10-19 on Legendary.

I would do this myself but I have yet to collect all the Data Pads on Legendary due to Lone Wolf and that mission hating me.

We have no reason to believe the game counts your datapad views seen as they don't count towards credits, achievements, completion meters or anything else.

Well it's fairly obvious there is something here because of the BoBs we have already found, so it's safe to assume they've been all over the disk with this one.

Guys, I decided to start Easter Egg searching again since I hit Noble and I've updated the HRS blog. I will keep it updated and clean all the time, and I have even gone ahead and edited every page on the blog. I will have a domain for it soon.

Check it out if you want.

I feel sorry for you guys because the -blam!-s who already unlocked the Marathon B.O.B helmet don't want to talk about it to the public, they even formed a pseudo secret group.
Unfortunately I cannot say more, ot

Do you have gamer tag links for the ones that have this helmet? I'd love to see proof that they have it.

I know you think I'm a jackass, but if you ever so need it, I can offer a hand in setting up a website/blog that could probably suit the kind of stuff you're looking for.

Also has options to add post/pages fairly quickly.


Here is an example of personal stuff I've been working on.

I've killed a BOB in every level... But apparently I didn't kill the right ones... I'll explore levels more thoroughly and come back if I find something...

I WILL KILL THEM ALL.

I just wanted to make clear that nobody has unlocked this helmet yet and I also wanted to say sorry for my stupid joke.

Your first video says that there are no more than two BoB's per mission, but I can tell you right now that there are three on both Nightfall and TotS. Long Night of Solace has 4, and on WC? Don't even get me started >.>

If you want to take a look at my Text based guide (With lots of Pictures) ;)) on BoB killing, look at the second and third posts of This Thread.
Also, looking through the videos linked in the OP, you missed quite a few ;)

Maybe the BOBs your looking for only spawn in Co-Op.
Just a thought...

*Waves hand*
These are not the BOBs you are looking for...

  • 06.29.2011 3:04 AM PDT

There is no problem that cannot be solved with a shotgun, or a flamethrower, or a spartan laser, or a... you know what? Never mind.

I've played the 1st mission by myself on every difficulty, I found a data pad in a shed, no BOB elite anywhere near it.

I'm going back now to find all the bobs but the vidmaster says to only use grenades, hit every switch, play on the equivalent to legendary, and not to use caps lock as a run key. All this in addition to killing all bobs. I think its not just killing all bobs but hitting all switches(which hasnt been done by the collective community), beat the game on legendary(well thats obvious even LASO not unheard of), use only grenades(this could mean only kill with grenades, or use grenades until none are left then guns), now the run key bit i have no idea, it could mean AAs or no sprint I honestly have no idea. Anyway the secret will be found, who knows maybe Bungie Day will offer some insights.

Well at the moment I have a blog with 27k or so hits at HRS but I am looking to branch out to a whole website with a forum soon. So I would appreciate any help if you would want to help when the time comes, graphic wise, because I lost my CS5. :(

Looks decent but i'm fairly confident you could get better.

For what you seem to be looking for, depends on how far you're willing to put in it.

You can get some licenses and a domain name for a fairly decent price.
Domains name can be like 5$ a month.
But you can also find all of this stuff free, but not usually the best possible.

I'll ask you you add me on msn if you want to since there are some things I don't like to mention to anybody.


I can also provide you with a rather nice blog-type website builder that can do nearly anything and is fairly easy to use.

Takes about 20 minutes to get a website up and you could later on link it to your forum.

Stuff like that.
