The '''Final Grunt''', also called '''the Jerk Store Grunt''' or '''the Seinfeld Grunt''', is a [[Talking Grunts|talking]] [[grunt]] in [[Halo 3]].


==Description==
The '''final Grunt''', also referred to as the '''jerk store Grunt''' or '''Seinfeld Grunt''', is a [[Special dialogue Grunt|special dialogue Grunt]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''s final level, [[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]].
This Grunt is found cowering on the edge of a cliff right before you go down the ramp to leap into ''[[Forward Unto Dawn|Forward Unto Dawn's]]'' hangar in the level Halo in ''[[Halo 3]]''. When you're at the top of the ramp leading to the ''Dawn's'' hangar, you should be under a rock arch. If you get out while under the arch and face ''Forward Unto Dawn'', to your right is the [[Unggoy|Grunt]]. You should see him. If the player approaches him, he will say:


''"Hey, [[Demon]]! The jerk store called, and THEY'RE ALL OUT OF YOU! Poor you, stolen at the age of six and conscripted into the military, waaaaaah! ...Okay look, if you let me live, I got the ''[[Fist of Rukt]]''. Look, I'll be the bottom. I'll polish your boots. I'll polish your helmet! It's the gas, haha! When I'm on the gas, I don't know what I'm doing half the time!"''
==Walkthrough==
Being the only [[Covenant]] individual found on this level, Final [[Unggoy|Grunt]] is found cowering on the edge of a cliff right before the player goes down the ramp to leap into {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}'s hangar. To find this Grunt, turn the vehicle slowly to the right, and you can spot it at the end of the narrow pathway. To hear its dialogue, make sure your [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]]'s chaingun out of range, as in [[single player]] the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] will kill him, preventing you from hearing the quote. If the final Grunt is killed while saying his dialogue, his dead body will carry on speaking. If he is knocked off the edge, however; the dialogue will stop. Discovering the final Grunt ''may'' leave the player unable to complete the end of the level as the platforms would have broken apart, thus rendering no possible route available to reach ''Forward Unto Dawn''.


However, discovering the Final Grunt ''may'' leave the player unable to complete the end of the level and the game, because there will be no route available to reach the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' as the platforms may have broken if you aren't quick enough. If you wait too long with him, the route from where you came from will be blocked off. Also note that if you drive up to the Grunt in a [[Warthog]] with the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]] at the gun on Single Player, he will shoot and kill the Grunt before you can reach him. Like all [[Unggoy|Grunts]] he can die, and will fall off the cliff.
With the [[I Would Have Been Your Daddy]] [[Skull]] activated, final Grunt's quotes can also be heard in the rest of the game, usually in [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]], [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]] and [[Sierra 117]].

*"The gas" might actually refer to the [[methane]] gas that the Grunts breathe. However this would be unlikely, as they breathe it as we breathe [[oxygen]]. It is more likely he was running out/had run out of methane, and was breathing oxygen and feeling light-headed. Alternatively, it could reference what the marine said in [[Sierra 117 (Level)]], something about the Brutes putting something in the Grunts' tanks.
*A second explanation could be that "the gas" is [[benzene]], referred to by [[Kwassass]] from [[Ghosts Of Onyx]] as "lovely lung gold".
*With the [[IWHBYD]] [[skull]] is on, you can hear normal Grunts say this on other levels, usually [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]] or [[The Ark]] after you kill another nearby Grunt.
*Even if only the Arbiter goes up to the Grunt, he will still call him Demon, even if the [[Master Chief|Chief]] is not there.
*When the Grunt says "stolen at the age of six and conscripted into the military", he is referring to when [[John-117]] was taken from his home to join the [[SPARTAN-II]] program.
*The Final Grunt is the last Covenant enemy you will fight in the Halo Trilogy, hence his name.

The final Grunt.

"Hey, Demon! The jerk store called, and they're all out of you! Poor you, stolen at the age of six and conscripted into the military, waaaaaah! Okay look, if you let me live, I got the Fist of Rukt. Look, I'll be the bottom. I'll polish your boots. I'll polish your helmet! It's the gas, haha! When I'm on the gas, I don't know what I'm doing half the time!"
— Final Grunt

The final Grunt, also referred to as the jerk store Grunt or Seinfeld Grunt, is a special dialogue Grunt in Halo 3s final level, Halo.

Walkthrough[edit]

Being the only Covenant individual found on this level, Final Grunt is found cowering on the edge of a cliff right before the player goes down the ramp to leap into UNSC Forward Unto Dawn's hangar. To find this Grunt, turn the vehicle slowly to the right, and you can spot it at the end of the narrow pathway. To hear its dialogue, make sure your Warthog's chaingun out of range, as in single player the Arbiter will kill him, preventing you from hearing the quote. If the final Grunt is killed while saying his dialogue, his dead body will carry on speaking. If he is knocked off the edge, however; the dialogue will stop. Discovering the final Grunt may leave the player unable to complete the end of the level as the platforms would have broken apart, thus rendering no possible route available to reach Forward Unto Dawn.

With the I Would Have Been Your Daddy Skull activated, final Grunt's quotes can also be heard in the rest of the game, usually in The Covenant, The Ark and Sierra 117.
