Kill from the Grave

Death from the Grave is a medal awarded in Halo 3 Multiplayer for killing somebody after you have died. It is represented by a platinum eight-pointed star with a face without a mouth in the middle. This would usually occur from a grenade (more commonly plasma grenades) or Needler rounds detonating after the awarded's death, or a slow moving projectile such as a rocket making contact with a foe once the being who has shot the rocket is defeated. It can also be given when a vehicle's driver is sniped out and the vehicle splatters an opponent before slowing and stopping. This commonly happens during jousting on Narrows. As this medal is awarded, a message appears on the screen, saying "You killed (player) from the grave". Note that you cannot get this medal immediately after you die, there is a brief waiting time between your death and the death of the person you killed that needs to be met to receive this medal.

An easy way to gain this medal is by throwing a grenade at your feet during an imminent death. You'll be surprised how many people will run past your body after you are killed. Another easy way is to use the flamethrower on your enemy when you are about to die.

Trivia

 * The face in the middle of the medal has the appearance of a ghost.
