''[[Edward Buck]] scratches his chin.''

''Open to the four Spartans in free fall. Covenant starships are massed beneath, engaged in battle. The Spartans zoom through the fleet, passing [[Hekar Taa-pattern Blockade Runner|enormous corvettes]], [[Brigantine|carriers]] and [[Man O' War|other warships]], aiming for the mountain range below.''

''Tanaka crashes into a [[Type-54 Banshee|Banshee]], which explodes near Buck. He narrowly dodges the explosion while Tanaka's energy shields flicker and recharge.''

''Buck and Vale fire into a [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]] and [[Unggoy]] [[Unggoy Storm|Storm]] with their shotgun and [[MA5D assault rifle|assault rifle]], while Locke leaps ahead and [[Spartan abilities#Ground Pound|ground pounds]] a [[Type-58 Wraith|Wraith]] and two more Zealots, overturning it and stunning the Sangheili. Buck and Vale finish them off while Locke lands and takes out an Unggoy with a [[Type-56 needler|Needler]].''

''Locke shoots away a Kig-Yar while Tanaka fires her [[M20 SMG|SMG]], jumping onto and over a Wraith. Her teammates join her in picking off Covenant, some chasing them in floating vehicles. A [[Type-57 Phantom|Phantom]] floats ahead of them and fires at the Spartans with its chin mounted turret. Flying low to the ground, it scrapes a hill, and Vale uses its momentary confusion to leap onto its open bay doors and rush inside.''

''Vale knocks two Kig-Yar aside and charges at a Zealot and a [[Sangheili Warrior|Warrior]]. Both swing their [[Type-1 energy sword|energy swords]] at her, but she jumps onto the Zealot's arm and forces its blow into the Warrior, damaging its shields and briefly stunning it. The Zealot is then pushed into the Warrior as Vale turns to face the Kig-Yar. Vale punches one of the Kig-Yar in the face and shoots another with her pistol. She kneels to make the charging Zealot trip over her, then stands up to fire her pistol repeatedly into the Warrior's chest and head. She then kicks it and a Kig-Yar out the Phantom, the latter screaming as it falls.''

''The two hit the ground, Buck running over them as he takes out an Unggoy and a Sangheili with two shotguns blasts. Locke keeps pace to his right, and they leap off a cliff into the Covenant below. Buck ground pounds a [[lance]] of infantry, and Tanaka grabs an Unggoy by the face while firing her assault rifle at a Kig-Yar. An Unggoy wielding a Needler lunges at her, but Tanaka catches it, throws it behind her, and shoots it away.''

''Promethean constructs can be seen fighting the Covenant now. [[Type-54 Ghost|Ghosts]] rush past firing at [[Promethean Soldier|Soldiers]] and [[Promethean Knights|Knights]], while [[Phaeton]]s battle the Phantoms overhead. Locke leaps over a pair of Ghosts and pulls the driver out of one of them.''

''The four turn to face behind them, seeing one of the Blockade Runners crashing at the peak of the valley they're in. It hits the ground and begins sliding toward them, bringing an avalanche with it.''

''Cut to Locke's point-of-view, as he and Osiris slide down the cliff, which leads to a small canyon with Covenant below. Buck lunges at a Sangheili Storm, knocking it over and flinging its energy sword to Locke's hand. Another Storm roars and attacks Locke, but the Spartan stabs the sword in its throat. Vale kills a third Sangheili to his left, but there are still plenty of Covenant ahead of them.''

''Locke looks up to see a fragment of the Blockade Runner falling and crashing into the ground, its impact killing almost all the Covenant there. Only a weakened [[Sangheili Commander|Commander]], [[Sangheili Storm]], and [[Unggoy Imperial]] are left, who die shortly thereafter.''

''The team leaves the crashsite and travel along an icy path. It overlooks a valley where Phantoms and other Covenant ships fight Promethean forces. Plasma fire and hard light rounds fly everywhere. A Phantom passing nearby the path that Osiris is on is hit by Forerunner cannon fire, exploding immediately afterwards.''

''The Spartans come to a site where Covenant infantry try to hold off attacking [[Promethean Crawler]]s. A Crawler lunges at a Kig-Yar, who knocks it aside with its [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet|shield]]. On a nearby ridge, a pair of Crawlers savagely tear an Unggoy apart. A [[Type-57 Spirit|Spirit]] disgorges more Covenant soldiers further back. The Spartans begin clearing out the hostiles.''

''Locke approaches a hill, where [[Promethean Soldier]]s appear then vanish away.''

* '''Vale''': (''translating'') "They're assaulting the back of the temple. Bring in the [[Type-55 Kraken|Kraken]]."

* '''[[Kitun 'Arach]]''': "Hold your ground! We must not break!"<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-fifty-caliber '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: Fifty Caliber'']</ref>

* '''Halsey''': (''smiles'') "So you have learned something from me."

* '''Halsey''': "Mmmm, seems your fingers are in open rebellion, Hand."

''Mdama pushes Halsey away and draws his energy sword.''

''Cut to Buck [[Melee|hitting]] a Zealot in the face with his lightfifle before kicking it away. Vale thrusts into the air, gunning down another Zealot with her [[M6H2 magnum|magnum]]. Tanaka surveys the site with her assault rifle.''

=== Easter Eggs ===

* The [[Halo 5: Guardians Skulls#IWHBYD (I Would Have Been Your Daddy)|IWHBYD skull]] can be found in the second valley, on a ledge to the left of the entrance to the Forerunner security station.

* Two ''[[Loathsome Thing]]'' [[Z-180 Scattershot|Scattershots]] can be found on ledges by where the [[Kraken]] is first sighted. One is on the left and another is on the right.

* [[Seven]] hidden [[combat knife|knives]] can be found [[Flaming Knives on Osiris|on the level on Legendary]]. Shooting the first one will turn many of the weapon caches from Forerunner weapons to human ones. Shooting all seven of them will reveal a hidden boss fight in the final temple room, summoning the [[Warden Eternal]] and an oversized Promethean Knight but granting the player [[active camouflage]] and replacing their current weapons with the ''[[Prophets' Bane]]'' and a [[Type-54 plasma pistol]].

* Osiris is the only first mission from any Halo campaign to feature more than one class of enemy forces, in this case Covenant and Prometheans.
