The [[Halo 2 Skulls#Envy|Envy Skull]] is found on this level.


''Note'': this is similar to the Hidden [[Sniper_Rifle#Halo_2_and_Halo_2:_Anniversary|Sniper Rifle]], which can also be found on Delta Halo. Near the end of the level, after the area with the waterfall and snipers, you will go through a tunnel and come out onto an open ledge. There will be several buildings in the distance and if you still have a Sniper Rifle or [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|Beam Rifle]], you can pick off several Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Sangheili. Below the ledge you are standing on is the main ledge which has weapon drop pods, however if you turn right and go along the wall, you'll reach a point where you can jump up and walk along above the main ledge. This will deposit you on a hidden ledge covered in thick vegetation. On the ledge is a dead ODST and a Sniper Rifle.

*Because Delta Halo is the first part of a two-part level, your weapons will carry over to [[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]], unless one of your weapons is a Rocket Launcher or a pistol. If you finish Delta Halo with a Rocket Launcher or pistol you will start Regret with a Beam Rifle and an SMG.

*Using the [[Halo 2 skulls|Sputnik]] skull, it is possible to jump into Regret and find ''The Gate'', which is a switch located where the first Gondola would arrive. Upon opening it you will hear the noise the Gondola makes when you start it up. It has been highly controversial between ''Halo'' fans because no one knows its purpose although it is most likely to be a place holder for the Gondola itself.

*At the beginning of the level, when you clear the Covenant from the first structure, move on to the bridge area, and get the Scorpion. If you do this, the game will act as if you did not go get the Scorpion, and will spawn a Warthog. Cortana will also say "Let's wait for the Warthog, unless you'd rather walk" on your way back through with the tank.

*When looking directly at the holographic projections of Regret, press the "melee button" and John will charge towards the projection as if you were actually about to melee an enemy unit. This is because, to save time, an alternate model of Regret with no collision model is used for holograms. This also occurs on the holograms viewing the Heretic Leader at the beginning of the level The Oracle, and The Prophet of Truth on the ''Halo 3'' level [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]].

*At the starting of the level when you hold the Temple with the Helljumpers where the Kig-Yar and the Unggoy were in the cinematic, climb up the hill, walk around until it says ''Loading...done''. After that, go somewhere low that you can get to the ground without dying. There will be no enemies for the whole level, but you'll also be unable to get to the next level because a door will be locked. Also, all holograms of the High Prophet of Regret will just be of his [[Gravity throne|Gravity Throne]], with no Prophet sitting in it. In addition, at the set of buildings before the last checkpoint, you can drive a Ghost up to the area of gondolas in the next level. There will be no enemies. However, this area is inaccessible. You will fall and die instantly.

*When you reach the temple where you must clear a Landing Zone for the Pelican and its drop pods, after you eliminate all enemies that exit the temple, about half the time all surviving ODSTs (only a maximum of 3) will suddenly vanish. Rarely, only one or two will vanish. The Marine reinforcement(s) will never disappear, only the Helljumpers.

*It is possible to enter the next level (Regret) without activating the cut scene. The Sputnik Skull is not required for this glitch, though it does help. First, go through the level on any difficulty until you reach the part where you are on the bridge with the Weapon Pods that the In Amber Clad dropped for you. Instead of going into the tower, grenade jump on the side of the entrance to the platform above. Kill all the [[Kig-yar|Jackal]] Snipers. Then, find your way around and jump down. You will be on the other side. There will be Covenant soldiers with most of the [[Unggoy|Grunts]] sleeping. They will act as if you were not there unless you bump into them.Continue to where the gondola is and you will see what appears to be a Zanzibar gate switch hovering off the coast of your platform.

*The opening cut scene plays in two parts. If you skip the first part of the cut scene then the music which normally plays as the SOEIV's land (part of [[Delta Halo Suite]]) will not play and the cut scene will finish without music. This is likely because normally the music is triggered in the first part of the cut scene and carries over into the second.

*In the first cutscene, the various debris that comes out of the Slipspace portal are actually parts of buildings from New Mombasa that were pulled in during the jump. This is more apparent in the remastered cutscene in the Anniversary edition.

*The [[Quadwing]]s flying around (at the beginning where the Wraiths are) can be killed with a Beam Rifle, Battle Rifle, Covenant Carbine, or the Scorpion's machine gun; and they will explode into a blur of red blood and die. There are more of these birds in the level Regret and they can also be seen on the ''[[Halo 3]]'' multiplayer levels [[Guardian (map)|Guardian]] and [[Epitaph]].

*Originally, Bungie had planned for the level to begin while the [[John-117|Master Chief]] was still in the Orbital Drop Pod. Two Pelicans would fly by a window in the pod, which the player would then have to save from the turrets seen in the opening cut scene. However, this feature was cut due to bugs and a time shortage.<ref>[[Halo 3 Essentials]]: Disc 2; [[Halo 2]] Cinematics Commentary.</ref>

*While looking through the caves in the area with the waterfall and creeks, you will see the body of a lone ODST that was armed only with two pistols which may seem somewhat strange since there isn't any evidence of HEVs other than the ones that landed alongside you in the beginning of the level.

*If the player does not approach the entrance to the inner structure at the end of the section with the Scorpion, a nav point will eventually appear at the doorway. Grunts will also infinitely spawn during this time. Sitting in the Scorpion and shooting them down for a few minutes is an easy way to beat the par score for this level.
**A group of Grunts and Elites will spawn once the player proceeds toward the doorway.
