'''Perilous Journey''' is a piece included in the ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''.
==Overview==
The track is composed of an upbeat tribal percussion, accompanied by short rhythmic high strings and long flowing low strings in the background. Near the middle of the track, the low strings plays the first phrase of the Gregorian chant from the ''[[Halo Theme]]''.


==Appearances==
==Appearances==
This piece plays on the level {{Levelname|Assault on the Control Room}}, at different points as you fight through waves of [[Covenant]] forces. It most prominently plays when you come across the last group of Marines, [[Fire Team Zulu]], and lead them to their eventual location to be evacuated (below the final bridges).
The soundtrack can be heard:
*In the level [[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|''The Pillar of Autumn'']], after [[John-117]] encounters the first group of Covenant to board {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} through the use of the lifeboat airlocks.
*In the level ''[[Assault on the Control Room]]'' when John-117 comes across the last group of Marines of [[Fireteam Zulu]], and lead them to their eventual location to be evacuated.
*At the beginning of the level ''[[Two Betrayals]]'' as the [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s attack John-117 in the [[control room]].


It also plays in the level {{Levelname|Pillar of Autumn}}, after you encounter the first group of Covenant to board the ''Autumn'' through the use of the lifeboat airlocks, and at the beginning of {{Levelname|Two Betrayals}} as the Sentinels attack the Master Chief in the [[Control Room]].
==Arrangements==
The piece has been remade in the ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'' in the second half of the song, [[Farthest Outpost]] and plays in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level, {{Levelname|The Ark}}.
The track was arranged into the following:
*''Make Them Pay'' of ''[[Farthest Outpost]]'' in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]''.
*''[[First Step]]'' in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Original Soundtrack]]''.
''Perilous Journey'' also served as the basis for the track ''[[Peril]]'' in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]''.{{Ref/YouTube|Mkn7DmM6xYY|The Act Man|A LEGENDARY Interview With Marty O' Donnell (Composer From Bungie, Halo, Destiny)}}


==Trivia==
==Sources==
*This song most likely refers to the "perilous" (arduous) journey that the Master Chief must make.
