The '''Heretic leader glitch''' is a ''[[Halo 2]]'' glitch that allows players to kill the [[Sesa 'Refumee|Heretic Leader]] on [[The Arbiter]], one level before you are supposed to. The glitch should not be attempted by players who are trying to beat the game, as it will render the rest of the level unplayable.

The '''Heretic Leader Glitch''' will allow you to meet and kill the [[Heretic Leader]] on the [[The Arbiter (Level)|Arbiter]] one level before you're supposed to.


==Walkthrough==
'''WARNING!''' Do not do this if you are trying to beat the game. Because the [[Phantom]] that comes to support you will sit there shooting at the Leader, and it will not trigger any enemies or the door at the end of the level.
Play the level The Arbiter normally, keeping a charged [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] with you at all times. Eventually, you will come to a room where you can see the Heretic Leader out on a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] Launchpad through a sheet of ornate glass. The [[reticule]] will turn red if you get close and move it over him. Get out your Energy Sword, and start attempting to lunge at the Heretic Leader through the glass. Crouch, jump, and crouch-jump, tapping the right trigger the whole time. It may take a few tries, but eventually, the Arbiter will lunge at the Heretic Leader, going straight through the glass.


Quickly grab his Banshee before he can pilot it, pick off his men, and the Heretic Leader will stop moving. He is completely invulnerable to all forms of damage, though you can kill him by knocking him off the ledge onto the pipeline below it. He screams the same way as when he is killed on the next level, [[The Oracle]].
== Walkthrough ==


He will also die if you hijack his Heretic Banshee, but if you go anywhere down towards where he fell, you will die.
Go onto the level [[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]], and go through it, keeping a charged [[Energy Sword]] with you the entire time. Eventually you will come to a room, where you can see the [[Heretic Leader]] out on a [[Banshee]] Launchpad through a sheet of ornate glass. The [[reticule]] will turn red if you move it over him. Get out your Energy Sword, and start attempting to lunge at the Heretic Leader through the glass. Crouch, jump, and crouch-jump, tapping the right trigger the whole time. It may take a few tries, but eventually [[Arbiter]] will lunge, going straight through the glass at the Leader!
Quickly grab his Banshee before he can pilot it, pick off his cronies, and you will have an inanimate Heretic Leader model! He is completely invincible, though you can kill him by knocking him off the ledge onto the pipeline below it. He will scream like when you kill him on the next level, [[The Oracle]].
This glitch is best done on co-op mode. It seems easier to glitch the system in co-op.
He will also die if you hijack his [[Heretic Banshee]], but if you go anywhere down towards where he fell you will die. You will then revert towards your last checkpoint.


This glitch will also affect the [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] that comes to support you. The Phantom will simply sit idly, firing at the Heretic Leader (or his dead body); it will not trigger any enemies to appear, and it will not trigger the door at the end of the level to open. In other words, you will not be able to proceed past this point after you do the glitch.
