What Once was Lost

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

Overview
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.

Appearances
The track can be heard:
 * In the opening of the level 343 Guilty Spark, before John-117 enters the Flood containment facility.
 * In the level Keyes, when John-117 enters the Flood-infested cargo bay of Truth and Reconciliation.

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

Production notes
The name of the track likely alludes to the Flood and signifies its return.
