“ Spartans never die. They're just missing in action... ”

Lone Wolf is the eleventh and final campaign level of Halo: Reach. The level takes place after the credits and is accessible after finishing the entire campaign.

The level begins at 20:00 hours of August 30, 2552, near the ship-breaking yards at Asźod. SPARTAN-B312, left at the ship-breaking yards after the UNSC Pillar of Autumn’s escape, is left to fend off the remaining Covenant forces alone, attempting to stay alive as long as possible. After fighting off waves of Covenant, Noble Six eventually succumbs and is killed by a swarm of Sangheili warriors.

August 30, 2552 20:00 Hours

As two Banshees fly past, the camera pans down to Noble Six, standing alone on a raised platform. The sky is choked with smoke and ash from the ongoing glassing. With no means of escape, Noble Six is stranded on Reach as it burns. The Spartan watches as Banshees dominate the sky and Phantoms approach their position.

There'll be Another Time...[edit]

Spartans never die...

Waves of Covenant troops, including Sangheili, Unggoy, and eventually Wraiths attack the lone Noble Six. Covenant aircraft from above, while initially ignoring the Spartan, also begin to fire on their position.

Noble Six holds out for as long as possible. As more damage is taken, cracks begin to appear in the Spartan's visor. Eventually, Six takes enough damage and the screen turns to black.

Fade in on Noble Six's point of view: SPARTAN-B312 is under heavy fire and hurt, with two cracks on Six's visor. A single assault rifle is lying on the ground. The Spartan pulls off the damaged helmet, tosses it aside, and picks up the weapon.

Scene switches to the discarded helmet's point of view, which sees Noble Six making a final stand against the Covenant. A Sangheili Ultra charges at the Spartan, firing a Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle, but Six calmly steps forward and guns it down with the assault rifle. A Sangheili General approaches from behind with an energy sword. Before it can strike, Six turns around and rams their elbow into the General's face, disabling its shields and knocking it to the ground. Six draws a pistol and kills the fallen General, then holsters the pistol and resumes firing the assault rifle. Nakata'vho-pattern plasma repeater fire from another Elite off-screen hits Six across the stomach. With their shields already down, the Spartan is severely wounded. Six reels from the attack, but remains standing.

Holding the assault rifle at the hip in the right hand and the pistol in the left, SPARTAN-B312 continues firing, killing two more Sangheili before another Ultra shoves Six to the ground and pounces on them with an energy dagger. The Spartan kicks the Ultra backwards, causing it to stumble into the helmet. At the same time, a sword-wielding Sangheili Zealot appears and tries to kill the downed Spartan, but Six knocks the sword out of its hand. The Zealot staggers backwards, its shields recharging. The Ultra again tries to stab Noble Six with its energy dagger, but Six rolls away from the stab and elbows the Ultra in the jaw. The Zealot ignites its own energy dagger and stabs downward towards the fallen Noble Six. The foot of a Field Marshal steps into the frame as the Sangheili ignites its energy sword, blocking the view.

Cut to Noble Six's shattered helmet, lying on the ground in the dust - as seen at the beginning of the game.

Fade in to the same location. The ground is now a grassy plain and the skies are blue. The only signs that a battle was fought here are debris from a destroyed frigate in the background and Noble Six's helmet, still lying where it fell.

  • Catherine Halsey: (voiceover) "It didn't take long for Reach to fall. Our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough."

The camera begins slowly pulling back.

The camera pulls back, revealing a UNSC colony ship landing in the background.

  • Halsey: (voiceover) "But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything...except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild."

Fade to white.

Game ends.
