| '''The Great Journey''' is the final level in ''[[Halo 2]]'' campaign. As [[Thel 'Vadamee]], you will fight alongside other [[Sangheili]], and several [[Hunters]], to reach and stop [[Tartarus]] from activating the rings. Work alongside a [[Scarab]] being controlled by [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] to break into to the door of [[Delta Halo]]'s [[Control Room]] where Tartarus is located. Then, you must bring down the Brute Chieftain, [[Tartarus]].

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *If you are able to keep your [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]] alive after the fight with the Phantom on the bridge and take them to the next room with the cells holding the Councilors and the Hunters, the Hunters in the cells will not be there. However, if you finish the battle in the prison then go back and get the hunters, you will still have four hunters, which is very helpful if the level is being done on legendary. They will not be there only if you've ever played Xbox live, or connected, otherwise, you will be able to have the hunters as soon as you force the other two in the prison room.
| |
| *It is possible to get [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] and the other [[Sangheili|Elites]] to go with you into the building. Get Rtas 'Vadumee and the Elite into the Spectre and drive it into the building then get them out. They will usually follow you, though this could take a few tries.
| |
| *It is impossible to drive the Wraith on Legendary.
| |
| *You can jump to the platform where Miranda Keyes is standing and stick her with a plasma grenade. She should run to the platform where Tartarus is. This may take some tries. Tartarus will then attack Keyes repeatedly and she cannot die. Tartarus is distracted and wont respond to any attacks except up close melee.
| |
| *The beginning portion of the level is extremely similar in design to the [[Assault on the Control Room (Level)|Assault on the control room]] in which the player has to fight through a canyon with a group of surviving allies to take control of a structure.
| |
| *The [[Forerunner]] structure encountered by the unmanned [[Scarab]], coincidentally is designed with almost the exact same architecture as [[Installation 04]]'s [[Silent Cartographer (Building)|Silent Cartographer]].
| |
| | |
| ===Mistakes===
| |
| *Walking up to Banks and Stacker, Stacker will say something like, "Chief! Glad you could make it!" in the same way that Johnson does.
| |
| *When inside the control room, go to the lowest level of the platform and crouch. You will die instantly.
| |
| | |
| ===[[Easter Egg]]s===
| |
| *The [[Halo 2 Skulls#Black Eye|Black Eye Skull]] can be found on this level.
| |
| *There is a [[Heretic Banshee]] on this level which is located near the cliff where the level starts off.
| |
| | |
| ===Miscellaneous===
| |
| *When escorting the Scarab, you can get your Banshee stuck in the Scarab, and since the Scarab is invincible, you don't actually have to defend it.
| |
| *When fighting [[Tartarus]] if you stay on the platform where [[Johnson]] is, Tartarus will often taunt you for example he will say, "Just like the rest of your kind. You're cowardly and weak!" or, "Want revenge? Well here I am!"
| |
| *Originally, there was a cutscene at the part of the level where you are on the [[Scarab]] platform in which there was a gathering of Brutes decapitating Marines. [[Joseph Staten]] explained that this cinematic had to be cut because at that time "real world events" made this a little politically dangerous.{{fact}}
| |
| *This is technically the first level in which the [[Elite]]s and the [[UNSC]] fight alongside each other, and the only level in ''Halo 2'' in which they do, though very briefly.
| |
| *Sergeant Banks and Sergeant Stacker will disappear right after the cutscene. They probably entered the [[Scarab]] with Johnson. However, if you kill any of them, their corpses will not disappear after the cutscene.
| |
| *After this level it is unknown what happens to the [[Fist of Rukt]]. It might have been destroyed by the Elites in disgust since it took the lives of many of their kind.
| |
| *This level is ironic in that, being the last Arbiter level, the Arbiter is trying to tell Tartarus about Halo's true purpose, when the Arbiter had silenced the heretic leader for saying the same things in the first [[The Arbiter (Level)|Arbiter level]].
| |
| *Strangely, if you board a Ghost or [[Wraith]] at the start of the level, the Brutes are holding Elite Plasma Rifles.
| |
| *The last sentence of Master Chief was used as Halo 3's marketing slogan as "Finish the Fight".
