*The thirtieth audio log is found in Dr. Endesha's office on the 9th sub-level of Data Hive. The frozen area where you find the 30th audio log may be a reference to Cocytus, the 9th level of hell. The office also contains Dr. Endesha's dead body. | *The thirtieth audio log is found in Dr. Endesha's office on the 9th sub-level of Data Hive.

*The Audio Logs are only accessible once. Once accessed they are stored in the VISR and are no longer accessible from Mombasa streets. This means that once accessed there will no longer be honking horns or coins being spit from machines, giving the city as a whole a more dead feeling. | *The Audio Logs are only accessible once.

*While Sadie doesn't appear in-game besides the audio logs, she does appear in ''[[Halo: New Blood]]'' and ''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]''. It is shown that after the war, her connection to [[Quick to Adjust]] due to his absorbing [[Vergil]] led to Sadie becoming his handler. [[Mike Branley]] does not appear, however, and no mention is ever made of what became of him. | *While Sadie doesn't appear in-game besides the audio logs, she does appear in ''[[Halo: New Blood]]'' and ''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]''.

===Strategy=== | |||
*Explore one area to another before you head to the final clue that will lead you to the hive. Each destination have at least five audio logs on the way. | |||
*If following the chronology, immediately follow all traces from Tayari Plaza - Uplift Reserve - Kizingo Boulevard - ONI Alpha Site - NMPD Headquarters - Kikowani Station. | |||
**Sweep across all streets on the way to such areas. | |||
**Beware of enemies that may hinder your progress. | |||
*At least every five logs will award player a Weapon Cache's storage. There are at least six supply cache in total with all of it contains a case of M7S SMG and M6C/SOCOM. | |||
**Two of the caches contains two Mongoose, two of the caches contains a pair of Sniper Rifle and ammunition, and another two of the caches contains a pair of Rocket Launcher and ammo. | |||
*'''IMPORTANT''': Remember to look for all audio logs before player can venture to the final clue (The last clue before the Player receives contact from Dare). | |||
**You cannot go back to explore areas once you have finished the last mission before Data Hive. | |||
**Also, you will start gathering audio logs from the scratch if you play co-op. | |||
