However, before either faction could reach the Library, it was shielded by the [[Containment Shield]] - an impenetrable energy shield denying access to the Library. The shield was projected by a Forerunner power generator buried within the [[Sentinel Wall]], a large underground Forerunner complex heavily defended by [[Sentinels]], [[Sentinel Majors]], and even [[Enforcers]]. Numbers of Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts had already attempted to penetrate the Sentinel Wall, with pockets scattered all over the facility, all being overwhelmed by Sentinel defenders. However, the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]] was air-dropped by [[Tartarus]]'s Phantom at the periphery of the wall in the beginning phase of a Covenant offensive to deactivate the Containment Shield, enter the Library, and seize the Sacred Icon.

After battling through the forward half of the Sentinel Wall and moving deeper through the facility, the Arbiter was able to destroy an Enforcer, and disengage the plug locks of the generator, and then physically disengage the generator out of its "cradle", powering off the Containment Shield. While the shield had been disengaged, the path to the Library was far from clear. There was a rampant Flood infestation: the second half of the Sentinel Wall was heavily saturated with Flood, and there were icy canyons heavily entrenched by Flood battling against outnumbered Sentinel defenders that lay between the perimeter of the Containment Shield and the Library, which was accessible only by an underground gondola.
