The '''Final Grunt''' (one of the [[Talking Grunts]], often called the "Jerk Store Grunt") is found cowering on the edge of a cliff right before you go down the ramp to leap into the frigate's hanger in the final level of [[Halo 3]]. When you're at the top of the ramp leading to the ''[[Foward Unto Dawn|Dawn's]]'' hangar, you should be under a rock arch. If you get out while under the arch and face the ''Dawn'', to your right is the [[Grunt]]. You should see him. If the player approaches him, he will say:


''"Hey, [[Demon]]! The jerk store called, and they're all out of you! Poor you, stolen at the age of six and conscripted into the military, waaaaaah! ...Okay look, if you let me live, I got the [[Fist of Rukt]]. Look, I'll be the bomb. I'll polish your boots. I'll polish your helmet! It's the gas, haha! When I'm on the gas, I don't know what I'm doing half the time!"''
The '''final Grunt''', also referred to as the '''jerk store Grunt''' or '''Seinfeld Grunt''', is a [[Special dialogue Grunt|special dialogue Grunt]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''s final level, [[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]].


However, discovering the "Final Grunt" ''may'' leave the player unable to complete the end of the level and the game, because there will be no route available to reach the [[Forward Unto Dawn]] since the platforms ''may'' have broken if you aren't quick enough. Also note that if you drive up to the [[Grunt]] in a [[Warthog]] with the [[Arbiter]] at the gun, he will shoot and kill the [[Grunt]] before you can reach him. Make sure you keep the [[Grunt]] out of the [[Arbiter]]'s line of sight, or the [[AI]] [[Arbiter]] will kill him.

Being the only [[Covenant]] individual found on this level, Final [[Unggoy|Grunt]] is found cowering on the edge of a cliff right before the player goes down the ramp to leap into {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}'s hangar. To find this Grunt, turn the vehicle slowly to the right, and you can spot it at the end of the narrow pathway. To hear its dialogue, make sure your [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]]'s chaingun out of range, as in [[single player]] the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] will kill him, preventing you from hearing the quote. If the final Grunt is killed while saying his dialogue, his dead body will carry on speaking. If he is knocked off the edge, however; the dialogue will stop. Discovering the final Grunt ''may'' leave the player unable to complete the end of the level as the platforms would have broken apart, thus rendering no possible route available to reach ''Forward Unto Dawn''.

*The Final [[Grunt]] is also known as "The Jerk Store Grunt".

*The "gas" mentioned by the Grunt may be a form of [[Infusion]], a recreational drug the Unggoy mix with their methane supplies.
*If you kill this Grunt, it will continue to make its speech. If the Arbiter kills it, it will make its speech. If you kill it while its saying its speech, it will continue. In other words, as long as you come near the Grunt, it will say its speech. This is a tested and proven theory.
*On [[2022|September 15, 2022]], it was revealed during [[The Yappening (Halo Infinite)|The Yappening]] event in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' that the Final Grunt was [[Flipflop]].
*This easter egg has a striking relationship with the last level of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. In the last level, [[The Maw (Level)|The Maw]], it is possible to find another talking [[Grunt]] that won't attack, the [[Thirsty Grunt]].  In both cases, stopping to listen to the Grunt ''may'' cause your death (it is possible to survive hearing the Thirsty [[Grunt]] on the lower difficulties, as you have more time).
*"The gas" might actually refers to the methane gas that the Grunts breathe. However this would be unlikely, as they breath it as we breath oxygen. It is more likely he was running out/had run out of methane, and was breathing oxygen and feeling lightheaded.
*While playing the meta-game if you drive close enough for the [[Arbiter]] (or a co-op teammate) to shoot and kill him you will not gain the points earned for killing this [[Grunt]]. The same goes for other "ambient" [[AI]]s e.g. Wounded Marines, crying Marines, Technicians, etc.  
*With the [[IWHBYD]] (I Would Have Been Your Daddy) skull on you can hear normal grunts say this on other levels.
*Also, if you play on [[Co-op]], the [[Grunt]] can talk to the [[Arbiter]], too.
*The speech refers to when [[John 117]] was taken and became a [[Spartan]]. Read about this in [[The Fall of Reach]] novel.
*The Final Grunt is the last Covenant foe you meet in Halo 3.
*"The gas" might be referring to [[Benzene]].

The final Grunt.

"Hey, Demon! The jerk store called, and they're all out of you! Poor you, stolen at the age of six and conscripted into the military, waaaaaah! Okay look, if you let me live, I got the Fist of Rukt. Look, I'll be the bottom. I'll polish your boots. I'll polish your helmet! It's the gas, haha! When I'm on the gas, I don't know what I'm doing half the time!"
— Final Grunt

The final Grunt, also referred to as the jerk store Grunt or Seinfeld Grunt, is a special dialogue Grunt in Halo 3s final level, Halo.

Walkthrough[edit]

Being the only Covenant individual found on this level, Final Grunt is found cowering on the edge of a cliff right before the player goes down the ramp to leap into UNSC Forward Unto Dawn's hangar. To find this Grunt, turn the vehicle slowly to the right, and you can spot it at the end of the narrow pathway. To hear its dialogue, make sure your Warthog's chaingun out of range, as in single player the Arbiter will kill him, preventing you from hearing the quote. If the final Grunt is killed while saying his dialogue, his dead body will carry on speaking. If he is knocked off the edge, however; the dialogue will stop. Discovering the final Grunt may leave the player unable to complete the end of the level as the platforms would have broken apart, thus rendering no possible route available to reach Forward Unto Dawn.

With the I Would Have Been Your Daddy Skull activated, final Grunt's quotes can also be heard in the rest of the game, usually in The Covenant, The Ark and Sierra 117.

Trivia[edit]

  • The "jerk store" joke is a reference to a joke on the American sitcom Seinfeld, in which George, one of the four main characters, tries, and fails, to make a witty comeback at a co-worker.
  • The "gas" mentioned by the Grunt may be a form of Infusion, a recreational drug the Unggoy mix with their methane supplies.
  • On September 15, 2022, it was revealed during The Yappening event in Halo Infinite that the Final Grunt was Flipflop.
