'''Marathon Man''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[ | '''Marathon Man''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Achievement]], which is awarded for accessing all the [[Terminal/Halo 3|Terminals]] in [[Campaign]] mode and can be completed on any difficulty. The achievement is worth 40 [[Gamerpoint]]s. It is represented by a person with a [[:File:Marathon.png|''Marathon'' symbol]] for a head, surrounded by a yellow circle and with [[seven]] yellow stars (representing the seven Terminals) above him. It is a reference to [[Bungie]]'s earlier ''[[Marathon]]'' games, in which [[Terminal]]s were an integral part of the campaign levels: they functioned both for providing storyline, guiding the player, and transporting the player to the next level. | ||
After | ==Method== | ||
*After you access the terminal, you need to wait for the screen to go red then wait until the screen shows another text message and finally press A to scroll down to the very last message (a fragment from a [[Forerunner]] message) to show up to get the achievement. | |||
*To access the terminal you must "flip" through the terminal until it redirects you then you read through the last pages, then wait a few seconds for the screen to turn red and another fraction of message to show, then leave. | |||
*For some players, the achievement will only be unlocked if the seventh terminal is accessed last. | |||
*A player must access [[seven]] terminals, another seven reference (there is an additional eighth one on [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]], but this isn't necessary for the achievement). | |||
