Halopedia has a walkthrough guide for this level; see Excavation Site/Walkthrough.

 
Griffin's intel suggests that the Banished are looking for something at this excavation site. Investigate and disrupt.

Excavation Site is the sixth campaign level in Halo Infinite.[2]

Overview

Led by Griffin's intel, Chief and the Weapon locate an excavation site, where the Banished are using a colossal mining laser to cut their way into the Conservatory. The Master Chief fights through legions of Banished, and the dig site commander Bassus, to clear the tunnel to the mysterious Forerunner facility.

Acting on Spartan Griffin's information, John-117 and the Weapon investigated Site Novem, an excavation site where the Banished were digging for something. At the seemingly deserted dig site, they found that the Banished's mining laser had cut through Forerunner columns into a subterranean structure. Before they could enter, the mining laser activated, preventing the Spartan from entering the tunnel. After analysis by the Weapon, John-117 destroyed the mining laser's cooling pylons. When he returned to the mining laser's control room, he was met by the dig site commander Bassus. The two fought, with the Spartan emerging victorious. John-117 shut down the laser, and prepared to enter the tunnel.[2]

Transcript

{Gameplay}

John-117 exits the Tower.

  • Weapon: "I'm guessing whatever the Conservatory is, the Banished won't want us anywhere near it."
  • John-117: "Then they'll be disappointed."
  • Weapon: "Yes they will."

The Chief heads off towards the dig site. He breaks through a Banished blockade guarding a bridge along the way.

  • Pilot (COM): "Hey, where are you going?"
  • Weapon: "The Banished are searching for something called the Conservatory."
  • Pilot (COM): "Let me guess: You're heading there too."
  • John-117: "Affirmative."
  • Pilot (COM): "Well, don't worry about me. I'll be here. Waiting. Alone."
  • John-117: "We'll be in touch."
  • Pilot (COM): "Just... don't leave me out here for too long. Okay? I mean it."

The Chief approaches the dig site. The area around it is completely barren, the Banished having stripped the land of all natural resources.

  • Weapon: "That Banished facility up ahead. Looks like a mining operation. That must be the dig site that Spartan was talking about."
  • Weapon: (observing the desolate landscape) "What are the Banished doing here?"
  • Pilot (COM): "They are doing exactly what they've been doing since they got here. Scavenging. Tearing everything apart to fuel the war."
  • Weapon: "How could they? They are ruining this place and for what?"
  • John-117: "To win."
  • Pilot (COM): "That already happened."

The Chief enters the dig site. Strangely, there are no Banished troops present.

  • Weapon: "It's... kinda quiet, isn't it? There... that tunnel. The Banished must already be down there."

{Cutscene}

The Chief approaches the tunnel the Weapon pointed out. The Weapon's avatar appears in his hand.

  • Weapon: (studying the tunnel) "This should be impossible. Forerunner alloy is almost indestructible. What do you think they-"

She turns around.

  • Weapon: (alarmed) "Chief!"

Her avatar vanishes. The Chief turns around and looks up to see a massive mining laser mounted at the top of the facility powering itself up and being aimed in the direction of the tunnel. The Chief dodges out of the way as the mining laser shoots four powerful beams into the tunnel, effectively blocking the entrance to the Conservatory.

{Gameplay}

  • Weapon: "I guess we need to deal with that mining laser."

Banished drop pods are deployed.

  • Weapon: "Oh, and these guys."
  • Weapon: "It looks like the laser is controlled up in that central structure."
