Flying Elephant: Difference between revisions

The trick is not inherently a [[glitches|glitch]], nor does it result from a glitch; however, the result is spectacular and bizarre, as is the case with many glitches of a similar nature. It may be more appropriately classified as a [[stunt]].

=== Scorpion transport ===

It is possible to use a [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion]] or a [[Resupply canister|Drop Pod]] to lift an Elephant into the air. All a player has to do is enter Edit Mode and force either object inside of an Elephant. By moving the object, they can move the Elephant. They may also [[splatter (Roadkill) Medal|splatter]] players by moving or rotating the object (and therefore the Elephant) at high speeds.

=== Explosive method ===

A more spectacular result can be achieved through the use of explosives. A player should start by removing all [[Fusion core|Fusion Coils]] and [[Plasma battery|Plasma Batteries]] from the level. They should then place as many Fusion Coils and Plasma Batteries as they can inside of the Elephant -- preferably in the back area, taking care to set the items to [[Forge/Tricks#Instant Respawn|Instant Respawn]]. At this point, the player need only detonate the explosives through any means; [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] missiles can create a particularly dramatic result.  To prevent the elephant from falling when it begins to take off you may want to create constant fire on the explosives (preferably with a Hornet)

=== Lag method ===

Sometimes, in [[Matchmaking]] or large [[Custom Game]]s, the Elephant will begin to sink into the ground, probably because of [[lag]]. When movable objects intersect each other in ''Halo 3'', they are rapidly forced out -- sometimes to the point of being blown apart. In the case of the Elephant, when it sinks too much, it will be shot out of the ground and sent flying. Usually it isn't sent too high, but in cases of extreme lag, it can be shot all the way across the map. In most cases, the Elephant will simply do a barrel roll and land upside down. The more people and objects that are on the Elephant, the more likely it is to glitch -- again supporting the lag theory. Some believe that this phenomenon may be related to [[The Bump]].
