==Walkthrough==
==Walkthrough==
===Activating the easter egg===
Wait until the waypoint on Club Errera is activated. Do not go to Club Errera, and do not kill anyone there. Fly to the hospital, and look for a platform with two trees on the main building (the one with the blue symbol at the top, '''not''' the one with the jammer in it), '''towards the bottom''' near the walkways connecting to the other buildings. Land on the platform and activate the green switch on the wall.

Land on the platform and activate the green switch on the wall.


Upon returning to Club Errera, a [[Jiralhanae]] will act as a DJ, with multiple dancing [[Unggoy]] throughout the club. Three more Jiralhanae are found acting as bartenders to the left and right side of the club, as well as beneath the club entrance, who will sometimes start dancing like the Unggoy when the music stops. Never Surrender can be heard.

===Siege of Madrigal===
To hear "the Siege of Madrigal," head to the top of the building, and land on the roof. Underneath the ducts next to the ramp to the metal platform is another green switch. Activate it and return to the club. Inside, the Covenant will start dancing to Siege of Madrigal. The Covenant will ignore you and dance unless you fire upon them.
To hear "the Siege of Madrigal," head to the top of the [[Vyrant Telecom Tower|Vyrant Tower]] where the club is located and land on the roof. Underneath the ducts next to the ramp to the metal platform is another green switch. Activate it and return to the club. Inside, the Covenant will start dancing to Siege of Madrigal. The Covenant will ignore the player and dance unless the player fires at them.

If the player kills any of the Jiralhanae or Unggoy, or destroys the communications jammer, the music will stop and the remaining Brutes will attack the player. If Never Surrender is playing the Unggoy will also attack the player; if the Siege of Madrigal is playing the Unggoy will continue to dance.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The "dancing" performed by the Unggoy and the lower Jiralhanae is actually a continuous chain of animations normally shown when Unggoy (or Jiralhanae) get hit by a [[M392 Designated Marksman Rifle|DMR]] bullet (because of the high velocity of the bullet, it causes the victim to recoil). Because of the nature of these animations themselves and the frequency of their initiation during the easter egg, the animation chains appear dance-like.
*There are actually four Brutes in the club. The DJ, two standing in the bars and a last one standing below the entrance. The latter one will sometimes start dancing like the Grunts when the music stops.
*Although the Jiralhanae appear to be completely unarmed while the music is playing, their weapons (either [[Elo'Nakada-pattern concussion rifle|Concussion Rifles]] or [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|Brute Spikers]]) actually float in between their feet until the player attacks or activates the Jammer.
*If the player kills any of the Brutes or Grunts, or destroys the communications jammer, the music will stop and the remaining Brutes will attack the player. If Never Surrender is playing the Grunts will also attack the player; if the Siege of Madrigal is playing the Grunts will continue to dance.
*It is sometimes impossible to assassinate any of the Jiralhanae while the music is playing.
