Outskirts Energy Sword
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Outskirts Sword, also known as Excalibur, is an Easter Egg found in the Halo 2 Campaign level Outskirts. It is an Energy Sword wedged into a stone in reference to Excalibur, and it can be found near the Rex Egg.
Directions
To reach the sword, one must get to the Rooftops Vacation; this can be accomplished at the very start of the level. As soon as you exit the room with the crashed Pelican, jump onto the door frame. From there, jump onto the higher platform. It should be noted that the Blind Skull is nearby. It might be wise to bring a Sniper Rifle in case Covenant bother you. Make your way over the rooftops to the sword; it is in the top level of a building not far from Hotel Zanzibar. The building's roof has a large chunk missing, suggesting something hit it.
Note that if you have not already killed all of the enemies at the Hotel, obtaining this Sword will prompt an Ultra Elite to attack it.
Trivia
- The Rex Easter Egg does not always appear; sometimes, when it doesn't appear, the Energy Sword has infinite charge.
- While many claim it to be the only sword in the level, a Stealth Elite, SpecOps Elites, and an Ultra may draw their swords if they feel threatened.
- If you keep the sword with you throughout the rest of the level, even when it doesn't have energy, for the ENTIRE level of metropolis it will seem as if the sword is empty but it makes the sound effects AND it works. If you trade it for another weapon, it will still work as well. It is also invisible, which is totally sick.[verification needed]
