Sanctuary



One of the newer maps for Halo 2, Sanctuary is a multiplayer level. It is an old relic of a building, and no one knows what it was used for. Some think of it as an important ruin, and some think it is an old church. It also apears similar to the forerunner ruins in the campaign level Delta Halo in Halo 2.

Getting Atop
To get to the top of Sanctuary, have three people go by the pointed rock by a tunnel leading to a Spectre. It is next to a base. Have someone keep jumping on the rock, and as he is in the air, Sword Cancel him. The only part that is not consealed by an invisible wall is the corner. To get in, however, you must crouch and walk forward. It will take a few tries, but then have the 2nd and 3rd persons repeat this. Once 2 are up there, have one stand on the ledge next to the hole you got it and keep jumping. The 2nd person sword cancels and gets atop the level. Have the second guy sword cancel you, and you are both ontop. Keep walking until you reach a pointy Forerunner structure ontop of a base. Have soemone jump, sword cancel them, let them sword cancel you, and then you're over it. Once there, you will notice you cannot go past a spot because of an invisible wall. But, all is not lost! Go as far as you can left, to the barrier, and you can walk through. It was actually a wall of a temple, invisible from that side! You can get atop that, get ontop of the tree, or climb the large hill, (all 4 flights) and then rest on the waterfall, perfect sniping spot, if you have many people, and you can get two people up unnoticed.

Atop the Center Building
This is a surprisingly little known trick, one that requires no cheating or sword cancelling, just a well placed crouch jump.


 * 1) On each side of the map, there is a plasma pistol, and a water trench near it. Where the water trench disappears into the centre building, there is a small ledge that you can get into by crouch jumping from a distance.
 * 2) Once in this small ledge, you should move a small distance away from the building (so you are standing instead of crouching).
 * 3) Look left, at the top of the building, and all that is needed is a crouch jump aimed at the corner of the roof.
