Flawed Legacy

Flawed Legacy is the seventh track of Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 1.

It begins with a chorus and a slow beat of maracas. After a dozen or so seconds (around 0:16 seconds), an electric bass enters with elements of Perchance to Dream from Halo: Original Soundtrack. Then, at around 0:32 seconds, an irregular drum beat mixes in and remains for the rest of the piece. The chorus and electric sound dies off, but the drumming continues until the end.

This track plays in the level The Arbiter, when Thel 'Vadamee and the Covenant enter a room bisected by two Forerunner gas canister conveyors in the Threshold gas mine.

The piece was re-orchestrated into the first part of Cracked Legend in the Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack.
