*If you walk to the Human Gondola, there are Marine corpses on the catwalk that leads to the Gondola. This most likely means that the Flood attacked them as soon as they got off. | *If you walk to the Human Gondola, there are Marine corpses on the catwalk that leads to the Gondola.

*Although it's not exactly honorable, it is possible (on Easy and Normal Difficulty anyway) to complete the mission without firing your [[Type-51 Carbine|Carbine]] or swinging your sword.

If you get on a [[Type-32 Ghost]] at the start and boost through to the end (making potshots at Flood as you see fit). If you can't get your Ghost past the boxes at the end of the [[Sentinel]] Factory, there is another one just little ways onward. You can drive it straight on to the Gondola. After the cutscene head to the lower level of the [[gondola]] and go into one of the short tunnels and wait out the trip. At the end of the trip, head back onto the lower level and into the library until the end. | ||

*After you've met back up with [[Rtas 'Vadum]], just before you reach the door to the Gondola platform, you can see (and explore around) a crashed Pelican on a snowy hill. This is possibly the same Pelican you see just as you reach the second outdoor area, as a Scorpion is close by, although controlled by a Flood combat form. | *After you've met back up with [[Rtas 'Vadum]], just before you reach the door to the Gondola platform, you can see (and explore around) a crashed Pelican on a snowy hill.

*It is possible to get a [[Major Elite]] with you, but it is extremely rare. Kill all the Elites in the beginning (helps in co-op) and [[Rtas]] sends you some more Elites, and sometimes one is a red-orange Major Elite. You may get several on higher difficulties, and there is a possibility of getting an [[Ultra Elite]] on legendary. Also, if you use Thunderstorm Skull, you will get three [[Ultra Elite]]s. | *It is possible to get a [[Major Elite]] with you, but it is extremely rare.

*By using the Sputnik skull and some good jumping with the Rocket Launcher, it is possible to skip parts of the map, including spawn triggers. In doing this, you can skip the spawning of your allies at the part right before the gondola ride, as well as any enemy spawn points. In doing this, the cutscene that normally takes place on the gondola will not activate, and you will be able to explore the gondola | *By using the Sputnik skull and some good jumping with the Rocket Launcher, it is possible to skip parts of the map, including spawn triggers. In doing this, you can skip the spawning of your allies at the part right before the gondola ride, as well as any enemy spawn points. In doing this, the cutscene that normally takes place on the gondola will not activate, and you will be able to explore the gondola and even activate the switch. However, the switch does not start the gondola, and you cannot go back outside once you get on the gondola. Strangely, the switch is not a gondola switch like the ones in the level Regret, but actually an elevator switch from the underwater elevator at that same level. | ||

After this, for the rest of the game, you switch between the Master Chief and the Arbiter from one level to the next. | *This is the last level in ''Halo 2'' where you play as one character in particular for two or more consecutive levels.

*If player manage to seize the Scorpion Tank at the beginning of the level, the route to the Gondola become spectacularly easy. The player can snipe any enemy that gets in the way on route to the Gondola. | |||
