The '''Two Arbiters Glitch''' is a [[Glitch|glitch]] that can be exploited in many ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Campaign]] levels such as [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]], [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]], and [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]. The glitch, which can only be performed in single-player, causes the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] to be duplicated for a part of the level.

When you have de-activated the third tower, get in the [[M808B Main Battle Tank|scorpion]] tank before the Arbiter gets in the [[Phantom]] and blow it up while he's in it. The Arbiter won't leave the level like he's scripted to, and after the second comes down from the Phantom, it won't have a waypoint above his head. The second one may be teleported when you get to certain parts in the [[Citadel (Forerunner)|Citadel]].

Another method simply requires that you kill the Arbiter just as Truth starts speaking, immediately before the cutscene when you enter the Citadel after defeating the two [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]]s

Then resume the game and drive the Warthog to the [[Citadel (Forerunner)|Citadel]] entrance. Get the Arbiter operating the Gauss turret off and push and melee him off the light bridge. Get in the driver's seat to get the third Arbiter to hop in. Then get him off and do the same to him. Do the same with the last remaining Arbiter. Now all three Arbiters should be on the ground level and they should be stationary. Go down to them and push and melee each Arbiter into the Citadel separately. Once all three Arbiters are in the Citadel, go to the closed Forerunner door to trigger the Citadel's doors to close and a Cortana Moment.

After the Cortana Moment, you'll get a checkpoint. Check and make sure you're prepared. You will need a Beam Rifle and a Active Camo. It is also recommended to bring a headshot capable weapon and two of all four grenades. Also, are the three Arbiters inside the Citadel? If so, save and quit. If you have a memory unit, replace your previous gave save with this save. Resume the game and go to the closed Forerunner door to initiate the cutscene.

After the cutscene, you should see an Arbiter wielding the Plasma Rifle as his primary weapon and the Energy Sword as his secondary weapon; this is the fourth Arbiter. The fourth Arbiter cannot be killed during the fight with the Covenant. On Easy, let the Tank Forms do the fighting. On Normal, you should help them. On Heroic or Legendary, go the side and wait for the Tank Forms to die. After they have died, you have two choices. You can wait for the Covenant to take out Arbiter's shield or just melee Arbiter until his shield goes down. When his shield goes down, he will usually take out his Energy Sword. Thanks to his invincible state, the fourth Arbiter will easily eliminate the enemies on the first bridge. However, you have to stay with him or he'll switch back to the Plasma Rifle. On Heroic or Legendary, two additional Heavy Grunts wielding Fuel Rod Guns will be spawned. While Arbiter distracts and fights the Brute Captain, Grunts, and Jackals, go to the door to spawn the two Heavy Grunts. If you want to have the four Arbiters fight the Brutes in full force (12 Brutes on Easy, 10 Brutes on other difficulties), after all of the enemies are dead, kill the surviving Tank/Stalker Forms (melee the Tank Forms in the mouth) and the Human Combat Forms. Then jump on a supply case and jump onto the roof.

By using a [[Spartan Laser Glitch|Spartan Laser with infinite ammo]] to kill the Arbiter immediately before the fight with [[343 Guilty Spark]], players can duplicate the Arbiter. Outside the Control Room, after the battle, one Arbiter will be standing around, and the other will already be attacking the awaiting [[Flood]]; the latter has the waypoint above his head. Once near the end of the hallway, both Arbiters will stay back.
