It took 18 Years to Find this Hidden Halo 2 Elite

Only works after the cutscene. Walk up the the scarab eye and hold X and an elite will pop out. This is the pilot of the "Scarab Main Gun" vehicle that shoots at the 3 wraiths and at the door to Tartarus.

The mission will still complete and continue as normal if you eject this pilot, but the scarab main gun will not fire. The door will just blow up on its own after a short period.

Would have been funny if he was holding a scarab gun.

[HaloGrunt]

Bruh I've went inside the eye of the scarab so many times and never once found that elite. That's wild!

[Nowise]

New mandatory rule for every Halo tricker is too hold X near everything that moves, shoots, or looks like it could possible move or shoot.

[slobsky]

Great stuff! Now we can stop the Scarab shooting and keep the overload to a minimum. The beach Wraiths custom CP should be very reliable now.

That moment when you first realized the source of the scarab gun beam was an alien hidden within its iris.

[Zangy_boy]

There is another way onto the Scarab, on one of the Checkpoints, and the bit where Sgt. Johnson takes it and the brutes are trying to stop him, if you are fast enough, you can jump onto it if Camoflauge is active

[averyjohnson]

This is the coolest discovery! Loved seeing your stream of this last night

[awsomepug]

Don’t worry that’s just Jim checking on the scarab’s weapons

[logan_jp]

(Record scratch) yep, thats me. Your probably wondering how I got here.

[WokeLEFThaveASPD]

Damn. I went in the eye before just not on that mission.

[Andimax]

“Cmon bro, I was hiding out in there till all this blows over”

[MrPj]

Does the Scarab on Metropolis also have a "gun pilot" like this? (since it's scripted to fire at the Scorpion)

[JackJonValois]

A statue of you or a placard of your name needs to be erected somewhere

[Simte]

Amazing! I thought I had explored everything in H2 and the this hahaha, great.

[JoeJoe-]

So if you possess an elite, can you board the scarab cannon

[MeadowElegy]

Pfft, I've found dozens of elites in this game.

[tamezzodiac]

Would've been so great if he was actually how the scarab shot lmao. Wouldn't be bungies first time making ai do things they aren't supposed to be known to be used for lmao.

[bobbitybob-oq]

Didn't I give you this for Christmas?

[murnngtar]

Huh. I figured he would have been holding a Scarab gun. That's how I thought the Scarab beam worked. Does it just revert to a standard PR once he's removed?

[nightkiler]

Is there a way to potentially become this elite by AUP and be able to operate the turret? Or maybe any elite npc can use it?
