Talk:The Ark (level)

Just a Reminder
This is the achievement name for this level and probably not the name of the actual level. Trooper117 18:44, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

ODST
Not sure if this is important or not, but when playing the level (on normal at the time) there are those 3 ODSTs with the white shoulderpads and when you meet up with the 4th Trooper, he has a red shoulder pad. A Sergeant/Squad leader perhaps?

Item locations
Is there a grav lift on the ark and if so where is it? I've been searching the map over and over my friends been helping and we've come up with nothing.
 * After you kill the Scarab, there will be a building in the "arena". In that building is 3 Grav Lifts. Let me guess, you're getting the Cowbell skull? Until next time, respect them Grunts. This is M  ø  u  s  e, squeaking out! 06:40, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

small tunnel leading to door
there is is a small passage leading to a door that is locked in the ARK stage (I may be wrong but it is just before the level where you are dropped of and have to fight on a cliff over looking a small vally of sand to stop the enemy from driving thier vehicles and running a muck trying to killing you, there is also two quad bikes at the bottom of the incline) after you finish them off you will jump a gap or evan during the battle do this gap as it has a landing ramp(I ride BMX so I love that) but there is a small hall way that leads to a door it is just before an archway.My question is is there any way to open or get in side it at all?, and also how do I find the flame thrower?

Space Battle
Were all the battle cruisers (elite) destroyed in the space battle above the Ark? The only ship seen after, aside from UNSC, ships is the Shadow of Intent. Also, after accessing the cartographer, when the Arbiter hijacks the banshee he then exits the banshee. Usually, both he and the banshee fall to their 'doom.' However, he occasionally falls back near the player. If he does you can push him around and he'll fight all the enemies you come across, or you can push him off the center near the cartographer and he will slaughter all the brutes controlling the area the pelican will pick you up. It can be a great help on Legendary.

Mabey the other ships went back trough the portol when the pace battle was finished.--Shipmaster117 21:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

THE ARK
is the gayest level out of this whole game. It is the worst map i have ever played, it's like the lord of the ring series and it goes on forever!

The Only reason this guy is saying that is cause he is a total noob.--Shipmaster117 21:24, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * This level is bloody awesome! Probably the best 343guilty-caboose 18:09, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Seriously its the best!!!--PX1279 04:20, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Shipmaster117, he may have been joking, that's his thoughts about it being worst level.

It was once planned to have Elites with you in the Level but was cut because of the Sentinels, and you do notice Keyes says either "Johnson, have the Elites found the Cartographer?" and "Johnson, have the Elites found anything". The Sentinels were to assist you when getting to the Cartographer, but because the Vehicular combat, Bungie cancelled it out because the Sentinels would die to easily. ATP2555

Trivia
I have a little trouble with the last note in trivia. it states the getting a chopper to the chieftain fight is the only vehicle, but I have seen a video of two people in Co-op get a gauss hog to the fight. I was wondering if it should be changed or deleted?68.230.164.251 07:43, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

- alot of this "trivia" is not actually trivia, just notes and observations, i would suggest deleting said entry. I have also deleted an entry myself, the 1st one about the team being in the Forward unto Dawn, it is clearly visible docked in the Shadow of Intent in the previous cutscenes, in case anybody wishes to challenege82.34.30.88 13:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Marines looking at sentinels?
After you save the Sentinels, the Marines will look up at them thinking as if they were hostile.
