The '''Megg''' is an affectionately named Easter egg placed in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' by lead designer [[Jaime Griesemer]] as a gift to his girlfriend Meg (aka Pallor of Subnova). The Megg was hidden in the level ''[[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]]'' under a series of almost impossible feats to ensure that no one could find it accidentally. Until the two of them started leaving hints on Internet forums, no one else knew of the Megg's existence. The Megg itself is a heart made from [[human]] blood, with an "M" made of bullet holes in the center.

On [[Coagulation (Level)|Coagulation]] there is a Megg that can be viewed in game.


First, change your character model to an [[Elite]], if it isn't already (this is needed because they get out of the [[Spectre]] from the front) and make a gametype where you have:

*An [[overshield]]<br>
{{Easter Egg}}
*A couple of [[Spectre]]s.<br>
 
When you finish this, go to blue base in [[Coagulation]]. Use the Spectre's boost to climb up the right part of the cliff near the base. There is a ridge on the wall as you continue left that forces you down, so stay clear of it by moving slightly down from it. By now you are completely sideways, and approaching a ridge on the cliff. keep boosting on it, and you'll eventually get over it. It may take a few tries but just be patient and keep trying.
 
When you get to the very top of the cliff, turn around in your Spectre, keeping its left wing on the rim you originally approached and moving the nose of the craft slightly over the rim, and search for a small notch in the cliff. If done correctly you should be able to get out of the vehicle and hopefully be over the map.


Now to find the sign, walk along the cliff to red base but ''don't'' walk on the edge. There are notches in it that you can fall into and never get out of. Once at the back end of red base's cliffs, look around for a white patch in the rock. At first it won't look like anything, but back up and look again. There is an "M" clearly visible on the cliffside.

The Megg is an affectionately named Easter egg placed in Halo: Combat Evolved by lead designer Jaime Griesemer as a gift to his girlfriend Meg (aka Pallor of Subnova). The Megg was hidden in the level Pillar of Autumn under a series of almost impossible feats to ensure that no one could find it accidentally. Until the two of them started leaving hints on Internet forums, no one else knew of the Megg's existence. The Megg itself is a heart made from human blood, with an "M" made of bullet holes in the center.
