[[File:HINF CraigPoster.png|thumb|250px|The music stage at the top of the Tower.]]
The easter egg can be found on top of [[Chak 'Lok]]'s [[Tower]]. It shows a stage with speakers along with a music album and a poster. The music album has a picture of "Craig" on it along with the text "Greatest Hits". If the player interacts with the album, it flips over. It also lists the names of the songs in the album, some of which are references to jokes made about ''Halo Infinite'' and Craig's deadpan expression. The songs are titled:
The easter egg can be found on top of [[Chak 'Lok]]'s [[Tower]]. Players can reach the top with a [[Grappleshot]] (likely with Quickshot upgrade, which grants 40% cooldown reduction), an [[AV-49 Wasp]], or a [[Kaelum Workshop Banshee|Banshee]]. There is a stage with a guitar, a microphone, and speakers. If the player melees the guitar, it plays a sound of a guitar strum. There is also a music album and a poster. The music album has a picture of "Craig" on it along with the text "Greatest Hits". If the player interacts with the album, it flips over, revealing the back cover, which lists the names of the songs in the album, some of which are references to jokes made about ''Halo Infinite'' and Craig's deadpan expression. The songs are titled:

====Walkthrough====
=== Gameplay dialogue ===
At the Tower, you need to use [[Grappleshot]] or a [[Wasp]] to get to the top of the structure. You will most likely need the 40% cooldown reduction upgrade for this. Climb up one of the four tower supports and then grapple up over the top of the Tower. At the top you will find the Easter egg. There will also be a metal bar next to the microphone with some red paint on it. Activate it, then melee it and it will play guitar notes.
