The '''Heretic Leader Glitch''' is a ''[[Halo 2]]'' [[glitch]] that allows players to, when playing as [[Thel 'Vadamee|the Arbiter]], kill the [[Heretic Leader]] on [[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]] -- one level before you're supposed to. The glitch should '''not''' be attempted by players who are trying to beat the game, as it will render the rest of the level unplayable. <!-- as in, permanently, or as in, they'll need to restart from the beginning? -->

==Instructions==
==Instructions==
Play the level The Arbiter, and go through it, keeping a charged [[Energy Sword]] with you at all times. Eventually, you will come to a room where you can see the [[Heretic Leader]] out on a [[Banshee]] Launchpad through a sheet of ornate glass. The [[reticule]] will turn red if you get close and move it over him. Get out your Energy Sword, and start attempting to lunge at the Heretic Leader through the glass. Crouch, jump, and crouch-jump, tapping the right trigger the whole time. It may take a few tries, but eventually, the [[Thel 'Vadamee|Arbiter]] will lunge at the Heretic Leader, going straight through the glass.

Quickly grab his Banshee before he can pilot it, pick off his men, and the Heretic Leader will stop moving. He is completely invulnerable to all forms of damage, though you can kill him by knocking him off the ledge onto the pipeline below it. He screams the same way as when he is killed on the next level, [[The Oracle]].
