''To Kill a Demon'' (1:05) begins with ambiance invoking the atmosphere of a dry desert. Low strings enter, playing a heavy melody as a low-strings-only version of ''To Turn a Tide'' (from the later track ''[[This is Our Land]]''), but soon fade out as the ambiance take over completely. This piece plays when [[John-117]] and his [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine forces]] defend their position against [[Type-52 Phantom]]s after crossing the broken bridge.

''Ancient Dust'' (1:02) fades in with heavy percussion and low strings playing the triplet rhythm from the ''[[Halo Theme]]'' in repeat. The percussive beats and low strings crescendos into a series of cymbal clashes to end the piece. The piece plays during the encounter with [[Type-26 Wraith]]s at the cliffside overlooking the [[Portal at Voi]], and in the level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]'' at the start of the Warthog run.

''Underestimated'' (0:44) features the percussion from the later track ''[[Farthest Outpost]]'', opening with muted drums, then leading into percussive beats played using snare drums and hi-hat. High strings enter with the melody of ''[[Under Cover of Night]]'' (from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]'', though the piece ends after one phrase of the melody. The piece plays during the ending cinematic of the level, in which [[Miranda Keyes]] reports to [[Terrence Hood|Lord Hood]].
