Arm yourself with more hidden Plasma Swords. To find these hidden gems, you will need to play the Delta Halo level until you reach the mission objective entitled "Push through the Covenant-held ruins." This is the same area where you find the Envy skull [Hack #13]. When you enter the area, look for a large stone slab at the end of a ledge; it is blocking a secret door. This is the same stone that you jump on to get the Envy skull. You can either use explosions to get it out of the way or you can jump around to a back entrance. To blast the block out of the way, you can use the Scorpion or grenades (see Figure 3-22). Figure 3-22. You can blast the stone out of the wayOnce you have moved the stone out of the way, you will be able to crouch through the small opening (see Figure 3-23). Figure 3-23. Move the stone and you'll be able to get throughOnce inside the dark room, you will see some dead Grunts and two Plasma Swords (see Figure 3-24). Figure 3-24. Inside the hidden roomIf you want to avoid having to move the stone, you can enter by the back door instead. To do this, make your way to the ledge where the Envy skull [Hack #13] spawns on Legendary mode. Once you reach the skull location, drop down to the next ledge do not drop all the way down to the main courtyard. On this second ledge, you will find the back door to the sword room (see Figure 3-25). The back door will give you access to the same room. Once inside, turn to your left; you'll see the other side of the stone block that is wedged in the secret doorway. Figure 3-25. Looking at the back door |
