What this thread reminds me of


I think I remember you. Didn't you help ruin a few groups that were looking into secrets? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I do remeber you.


I'm only part of 1 group and it's non-related to any secrets.


And I don,t remember ruining anything since well, being right != ruining things.

oh just leave em alone man. let them have their fun; it's a game for christ's sake

HWat about Mark 7 which was mentioned in Halsye's journal plus the terminal easter egg in anniversary. We should look there.

why is the Gungnir Helmet tier 3 the only armor that requires mythic rank?

i just can't believe there is no legendary ending, it being bungie's last halo game and all. the ending doesn't even have to be serious, just something funny or cool. not to mention in that bungie commentary a guy said the ending was an eagle landing on your helmet. maybe its something like halo 3's IWHBYD skull, which got ruined, and they just hid it much better this time. i can only hope :(

I am disappointed too. I would have loved to see a Legendary ending. I doubt they hid one though. I am pretty sure they confirmed there is no Legendary Ending.

I <3 Bungie!

Try it like the Marathon Vidmaster challenge! Kill all the BOBs on Heroic+ with a magnum/melee, and without losing your shields against the BOB ( i.e. wait for shields to recharge) It's like the old Vidmaster challenge so try it!

Has anyone else noticed the chest piece that the GRD wearing player has equipped?

You're about 200 pages late.

Drop the helmet theories, it's not there, period.

Lets get real. 343i is purposely putting this out there so people like you and the majority of people in this thread have something to try to figure out in Halo. The GRD helmet doll, the picture on the dashboard, the first picture we ever saw. It was all just to make people wonder. Now thinking you can do something to receive the helmet is idiotic. Bungie had nothing to do with the helmet to begin with and now 343i is in charge. 343i might come out with it sometime in the future but as if right now they obviously haven't released it to the community if there is no proof. I am just stating the obvious in what I know so far. The moment no one pays attention to is I bet you guys 343i will release some other stupid hint.

Hey all. First, let me say thanks to HydratedRex for bringing my attention to this thread. I haven't seen many places with focused effort to find the BOBs, so it's always nice to find another one.

Zedd, would you be willing to provide any evidence that what you're providing is valid? A screencap of the utility you're using would suffice. I hate to ask, but the troll ratio here is pretty high.

Posted by: HydratedRex1254
These are Banshee Bobs, and except for the Golden Tree Challenge (which has appeared I think only twice), we have no confirmation that they are BOBs ... or do we?

I haven't run these tests (as they hadn't occurred to me the last time these challenges appeared) but perhaps someone else has. Does shooting down a banshee bob on Exodus (not New Alexandria) win the Golden Tree Challenge? How about the Golden Opportunity Challenge?

Your answer might also confirm my conjecture that the "banshee bob" in The Package is not a banshee bob.

Confirmation of the Exodus Banshee BOBs activating Golden Opportunity can be found here. I believe that SecretGlyphProject (a group that, among other things, hunts BOBs) has similar videos for all the BOBshees on that level. I doubt that Exodus BOBs will pop "Golden Tree City" as that's level-specific, but who knows.

The insta-despawn Banshee on The Package is not a BOBshee. This was proven by the mission designer for this level, Dan Miller, in this HBO post.

I'd also like to mention that I attempted to verify Zedd's "cannon" BOB location, and it is not within the playable space; those exact coordinates would place BOB just below the ground.


Does it put him below the ground or in the water? What if he spawns right at the cliff's edge and falls or drops directly into the water so quickly that we've never noticed him. And once he's in the water he'd be too far below us to show up on radar unless you are in the Pelican? He would then disappear into slip-space before we'd notice him given the intensity of the battle. There is a ledge that goes off to the side there in the lower corner. Maybe that's there so we can see him at the bottom against the rock wall?

Kira, I'm not sensitive about it. I am only interested in finding all Bobs. I don't care much for the ugly helmet, but if this or anything else leads to it, well then that's a bonus. I may have mistaken you for another and if so please accept my apollogies.

Apologies accepted then.

I'm just telling you don't hope for a helmet, it's not there.

Zedd - I watched that yesterday, good work sir!

Kira - I accepted a long time ago that the helmet will only be available by what ever means at what ever time 343 decides it will be. I have always been fascinated by BoB though.

I am starting to believe that there is more to BoB than we think in a broader sense relevant to the Halo Universe and timeline.

He doesn't just go cloaked, he seems to step through a portal of sorts. I think he's a time traveler by way of some advanced Slip-Space Technology. And I say "he" because I am also starting to think, based on this theory that there is actually only a singular BoB.

As further evidence, he is the only enemy that spawns at different locations, all other enemies have set locations. Which makes sense in that if you were trying to alter events through time travel and were failing you would try different things such as showing up at different times and places, and maybe even have different physical appearances (White BoB).

Finally, and this I have no real proof of, but I sometimes wonder if BoB is even an Elite. If you look into the helmet in the right lighting it looks like something other than an Elite.

-The helmet might be made available in Halo 4... can't really since since we have little-to-no information concerning the armoury.

-That's a nice theory and all but honestly, time traveling is stretching it. I guess it could work to some extent, but even so, you'd probably be left with more questions than answers.

- He is an elite, you can see part of his jaw "pop out" of his mask when you kill him.

If reference to your second point, after listening to Ghost of Onyx on audio the are a few times where it is said that while traveling through slip-space, time and reality are distorted. Halsey even wonders to herself if she's in the right reality/timeline at one point.
