Subject: Halo 3 Ending Question *Spoiler Alert*

If for some reason you have not beat the Halo 3 campaign, Stop Reading Now!

I beat the halo three campaign around three years ago, and I never really started questioning it until now.

From my understanding after you lit the unfinished halo ring the Master Chief, Arbiter, and Cortana were to escape through the portal and get back to earth before the ring destroyed all sentient life in the area. But the portal unexpectedly closed early and stranded The MC and Cortana in the near the ring.

So my question is how did the Master Chief survive?

Is it because the ring didn't fire properly due to the fact that it was unfinished?

Did I just answer my own question?

I need answers!

Thanks a lot, MightyBillyMays

I have played on every button layout for Halo 3 in matchmaking.
It changes with my mood.

You will see Master Chief in Halo 5

Thus he came alone to Angband's gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth in single combat. And Morgoth came.

I think the reason is that the master chief and cortana made it through the portal as it was closing, perhaps stranding them somewhere between the ark and earth.

because the ring wasn't finished so it didn't kill everything?

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

They made it through the portal, but *spoilers if you haven't read the terminals* Mendicant Bias sent them to the forerunners to prove he(?) has changed.

Since the ring wasn't finished it never "fired" it just blew up and destroyed the ark with it. Master Chief and Cortana just broke off and seperated from the Arbiter, while he went to earth.

Hmm that's a good question, idk you would probably have to look it up somewhere.

I don't think the spoiler tag is really necessary as this game is almost four years old.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

John and Cortana made it through the Portal, as stated in the epilogue:
"The Portal couldn't sustain itself, we made it through just as it collapsed."

The reason the Dawn split in half was because Mendicant Bias sent John and Cortana to a different location, he sent Thel to Earth.

the co-ordinates of the portal changed when they were half way through. if this is wrong when the halo ring fired it shook itself to pieces

I run Skirmish!!!

if you haven't watched the legendary ending, they end up drifting in space by a planet that seems to be man made, but that is only a rumor i think at this point, won't know till halo 4 comes out (if it does)
