'''Unyielding''' is the fourth track in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack#Volume 2|Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 2]]''. It also serves as the basis of the ninth track ''[[Reclaimer (music)|Reclaimer]]''.

==Overview==
'''Unyielding''' is a piece of music featured in [[Halo 2]], and is present on Volume 2 of the [[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack|Halo 2 Soundtrack]].
The piece is a fast paced piano and electric guitar piece meant to accompany action sequences of similar pace, it later incorporates strings playing a variation of a segment of the ''[[Halo Theme]]''. It uses the same rhythm as ''[[Rock Anthem for Saving the World]]'' did in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.  


==Appearances==
The song is a fast paced piano piece meant to accompany action sequences of similar pace, it later incorporates strings playing a variation of a segment of the [[Halo Theme]].
The track is heard during the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level ''[[Uprising]]'', in the section "Step Aside! Let the Man Go Through", and plays during the opening fight in the canyon leading to the Brute camp.


==Arrangements==
The track is heard during [[Uprising (level)|Uprising]], in the section entitled 'Step Aside! Let the Man Go Through', and plays during the opening fight in the canyon leading to the Brute camp. It is the basis of the song [[Reclaimer (music)|Reclaimer]].
In ''[[The Package (animated short)|The Package]]'' from ''[[Halo Legends]]'', a rearrangement of ''Unyielding'' plays during the scene where [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]] and [[Frederic-104]] are fighting their way through the Covenant ship, and finishes just after John and Kelly are separated. The piece was not included in the ''[[Halo Legends: Original Soundtrack]]''.


Even though ''Unyielding'' was rearranged for ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', the album only featured ''[[Genesong]]'', the reinterpretation of ''Reclaimer''.
It uses the same rhythm as [[Rock Anthem for Saving the World]] did in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. It was also remade in the tracks [[Three Gates]] and [[One Final Effort]] in Halo 3. Also, the well-known piano motif from Halo 3, and the eight-note motif feature in Halo 3: ODST also originate from this track.

==Trivia==
*If you listen '''very''' carefully, you can hear acoustic guitar sounds in the background.
*In the second part of [[Halo Legends]]: [[The Package|The Package]], a piece of music is used that sounds a lot like Unyielding. It plays during the scene where [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]] and [[Fred-104|Frederic-104]] are fighting their way through the Covenant ship, and finishes just after John and Kelly are separated.
