| The Library is where the [[Index]] is housed. It is kept safe from the [[Flood]] by having the only access be a gondola from a [[Forerunner]] base, which is protected by an energy shield and a large wall filled with [[Sentinels]] and [[Enforcer]]s. Then, beyond the wall is an artifical lake. It should be noted that one may access the Library though the [[Halo]]'s teleportation grid.
| | Where the [[Index|index]] is kept in every [[Installation (Halo)|Installation]]. Every Library is filled with [[Flood]]. |
| | |
| ==[[Halo: Combat Evolved]] and [[Halo: The Flood]]==
| |
| | |
| [[343 Guilty Spark]] teleports the [[Master Chief]] from the swamp that was part of the [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|previous level, 343 Guilty Spark]] he was in into the Library of [[Installation 04]]. Equipped initially with a [[Pistol]] and an [[Assault Rifle]], he must battle through four Flood-filled levels to reach the Index chamber.
| |
| | |
| It is in this level that 343 makes reference to the [[Forerunner|Forerunners']] technological superiority. He wonders why the Chief had brought "such ineffective weapons" to combat the Flood, and recommends that the Chief upgrades from the [[MJOLNIR]] armour, which, according to some Forerunner ranking system, the criteria of which is not gone into, is only Class 2, to a Class 12 combat skin, which he says is necessary to combat the Flood.
| |
| | |
| Somewhere in the 3rd or 4th section of the Library, the Chief encounters the body of a [[Marine]] who was the most recent failed [[Reclaimer]]. In ''The Flood'', this Marine is said to have had his body so mutilated that the Flood could not possibly take over him, and he is identified to be Staff Sergeant Marvin Martubo.
| |
| | |
| ==[[Halo 2]]==
| |
| | |
| In Halo 2, while the Chief goes after [[High Prophet of Regret|Regret]], [[Commander Miranda Keyes]], [[Sergeant Johnson]] and most of the [[Marine|marines]] go into the Library of [[Installation 05]] to find the [[Index]]. Because of its significantly longer flood outbreak, the Library of Installation 05 is damaged and filled with more flood than that of Installation 04.
| |
| | |
| Therefore, the [[Arbiter]], instead of the Chief, is the playable character that has to travel the Library of [[Delta Halo]]. This journey encompasses the levels [[Sacred Icon (Level)|"Sacred Icon"]] and [[Quarantine Zone (Level)|"Quarantine Zone"]].
| |
| | |
| Dropped in the wall from [[Tartarus|Tartarus']] [[Phantom]], the character must go through the wall's area, down pistons and fighting [[Sentinel|Sentinels]] to find a gondola. By removing the containment plugs, the Containment Shield guarding the Quarantine Zone can be lowered, enabling the Arbiter to enter the Library proper.
| |
| | |
| After battling his way through corridors filled with Flood in all three varieties, as well as Sentinels and [[Enforcer|Enforcers]], the Arbiter finds an open-air area where he meets with some air-dropped [[Elite]] comrades and reunites with [[Half-Jaw]], the Spec Ops Commander. He now has to defend the Elite encampment from waves of Flood Combat Forms.
| |
| | |
| After the waves of Flood have ceased their siege, the player, in the guise of the Arbiter, is given the option of choosing either a [[Ghost]] or a [[Spectre]] to go through the [[Quarantine Zone]] with. While battling through the Quarantine Zone, other vehicles, including [[Warthog|Warthogs]], [[Wraith|Wraiths]], and a [[Scorpion]] can be found. It is first learnt here that Flood Combat Forms now know how to drive vehicles. After going through an open-air section, a mine-like area, and another open-air section, the Arbiter reaches yet another gondola, where Half-Jaw leaves to take care of an approaching group of Flood. Tartarus calls Half-Jaw a coward from the safety of his Phantom and sends a few Elites to aid the Arbiter. The Arbiter takes the gondola into the depths of the Library to find the Index chamber. On the way, he must fend off assaults by Combat Form Flood wielding a variety of weapons. When he finds the Index, he tries to take it from UNSC forces, but he is betrayed by Tartarus and he lands in the throne room of the [[Gravemind]].
