What Once was Lost is the eleventh track in Halo: Original Soundtrack.

Overview[edit]

Played in levels featuring the Flood, the track adds to the tension the player feels before and after discovering the Flood. It primarily uses swamp noises such as animal cries, with undertones to add to the suspense. The soundtrack itself creates much of tension to suit the dark, scary and eerie moods of the levels.

Arrangements[edit]

The piece was arranged into Unfortunate Discovery in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Original Soundtrack.

Production notes[edit]
