Grunt message
There is a Grunt in the level that will give you a message. To get to him, go all the way past where the drop-ship is going to pick you up. About three rooms after that, there will be a shortcut to your right. Go in it. In the middle will be two doors, to your left and right. Unlike the shortcuts, the door to your right will be open. Enter it. At the end of the hallway, get out of the jeep and the Grunt will be there. He tells you something that sounds like "Ugh...good thing that food nipple is waitin' for me at the starship...'cause, man...have I worked
up a big, Grunty thirst!", , , and
Killing enemies
Use the following trick to kill the two Hunters, the
Sentinels and the Flood. When you are in the maintenance access
ways, you will see a black Grunt run from the Flood directly in
front of you. Kill the Flood and turn left instead of going straight
where the hunters are. Go where the Grunt went. When you get there,
the Grunt will be standing in the doorway. Kill him and you should
be in an enclosed room with many dead bodies on the ground. When
you enter, turn to your right to find be some burning boxes. Go
to them, and the Sentinels should be on the other side of the
blast door. Shoot the glass and the bullets should go through
the door and hit the enemies on the other side. The glass should
not break, so the enemies cannot shoot you back.
Destabilize engine
When you open the vents, instead of going to the bottom
floor to destroy the engines, jump on the coupling that is moving
away from the engine. From there, destroy the engine. When the
couplings start to pull back and reach the platform where the
computer you pressed to pull the couplings back is located, jump
back on it. Note: You cannot make the jump if you are on the white
part of the couplings. To make it, there is a brown part on the
very end of the couplings. You have to jump from that part to
make it across.
Destroy reactor
Grab a rocket launcher and a shotgun from the armory.
Pull back the couplings as instructed, but instead of going all
the way back down to destroy them, jump on the coupling as it
is retracting. Look forward and you should see the reactor. It
is in plain view -- wait for it to open and fire your rocket launcher.
To get back, simply follow the coupling and jump onto the platform.
This is a fast and easy way to complete the level, and should
be done under the normal or easy difficulty setting.
Save time
On the last part when Echo 4-19 is supposed to pick
you up and Cortana tells you to stop, do not do so. It is a waste
of time because Echo 4-19 has been hit and crashes where you land.
Keep driving straight towards the next beacon.
In The Maw level, when you are driving the Warthog through the
Pillar of Autumn, there is a curvy hallway you have to go through
where there are a lot of the metal flying robots. On the left
wall when you enter the hallway, there is a hole that you can
drive your Warthog into. This cuts off the entire long curvy hallway
and takes you out at the end of it, saving lots of time. Note:
This was done under the Legendary difficulty setting.
This trick works best in co-op mode. When you get to the spot
exactly before the Warthog part, to the left and right there are
lots of Warthogs. Have each of your players get in a Warthog.
Continue the level until you hit a checkpoint, or you die and
revive.

When you reach the part where Cortana tells you to stop and wait
for Foe Hammer, quickly stop and get into the gunner seat. You
should be able to shoot down the Banshees behind Echo 4-19. and
Foe Hammer will appear and pick you up. The level will finish
with a different ending. Note: You must have good aim and speed.
This also works better in co-operative multi-player mode with
two Warthogs.
Note: This trick only works on co-op multi-player mode. After
you refill your ammo in the second armory, walk towards the engine
room. Once the words "Light Fuse, Runaway" appears,
have one player wait while the other continues. There will be
no one in the engine room. That player can blast the exhaust manifolds
with ease. Once finished with this, the other player can follow
and he will encounter one or two Flood on the way. After that,
continue to complete the driving portion. This will help a lot
under the legendary difficulty setting.
Note: This trick requires a rocket launcher with at least two
rockets. When you get to the Warthog part, proceed as normal until
you reach the crates that stop your Warthog from continuing. When
you get to it, park your Warthog (not at the edge) and jump out.
Quickly get behind it and fire a rocket at the end of it. Note:
If you are at the edge, your Warthog will fall off the cliff.
Wait for it to hit the ground, and if it is still in some blockage,
shoot it again. Quickly get in the Warthog, and rather then walking
to the end and getting shot, drive the distance and launch off
the end ramp into the Longsword. The ending will continue as normal,
as if you were walking. Note: Grenades would work, but they take
longer to explode and you do not save as much time.
Extra Warthog
When you are about to go to the part where Echo 419
goes down, immediately after the jump is a warthog, sitting directly
under it. This is in case a Banshee shoots yours off the cliff.
Flaming Warthog
When you just exit the elevator and the timer starts,
keep walking and do not get the Warthog yet. Walk up to the Warthog
that is on fire. Throw a plasma grenade, frag grenade, or blow
it up with a rocket launcher. It will fly away, revealing it is
not on fire, and, therefore you can drive it.
No Flood in engine room
Play through the level as usual until you get to the
engine room or the first time you go to the open armory. Before
you go into the room, turn your flashlight on. If it is a cooperative
multi-player game, have player two watch the back door with his
flashlight on while player one gets all his items, then switch.
Once you both get your ammunition, walk backwards out of the armory
then continue as usually. If done correctly, there should be no
Flood in the engine room. Note: You still may run into the invisible
Flood in the armory and the little Flood in the engine room, but
not the big ones.
In multi-player mode, when you are going to the room to blow up
the couplings, in the hallway before you get there, have one person
stay around in that area. Do not open the door. By doing this
no big Flood will go after the person that will blow up the couplings.
Easy Flood kills
There will be a door with a fire on the wall next to
it. Open the door, then quickly go back behind the fire you just
past (hugging the wall). The Flood will run directly into the
fire and kill themselves.
Stop the Sentinels in the engine room
Note: You can only do this in cooperative multi-player
mode. When you reach the control room, have one player go up into
the area where you open the tubes to blow up the reactors. Keep
going past that area, then continue through the doors until you
reach an area with a big piece of metal laying on the ground.
Jump up on top of it, then jump to the spot in front of it. Then,
jump up to the wall on the right and stand there. If you move
from this spot, the Sentinels will just keep appearing. If you
done correctly, the Sentinels will no longer bother the other
player as they blow up the reactors.
Hidden letters and symbols
Go to the end of the level where you have to fling your Warthog off the huge jump then fall and land in the tunnel. At that point, slowly move your Warthog to the right side of the tunnel edge, so that the front tires are going over the end. Then, get out and go on top of your Warthog. Jump on top of the wall next to you. You may need to push the Warthog slightly to get it to the correct height so that you can jump on top of the wall. From here, keep going along the top of the wall and jump down to the bridge. Go into the room on your left (with respect to the direction of where you are walking). You should see blood splatters. One wall has the letters "REX" written on it. This is the nickname for one of Bungie's level creators. On the other wall is a large blood splatter with a few swastikas
around it.Marathon reference
On the The Maw level, look at the Pillar Of Autumn
(POA). You should see a window with the Marathon symbol.
