Following the revelation of the [[John-117|Master Chief]]'s survival, the [[Banished]] [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] was invigorated and he ordered [[Blademaster]] [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] to follow the legendary [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]].{{Ref/Level|Id=Foundation|Hi|[[Foundation (Halo Infinite)|Foundation]]}} After the Master Chief destroyed three [[ | Following the revelation of the [[John-117|Master Chief]]'s survival, the [[Banished]] [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] was invigorated and he ordered [[Blademaster]] [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] to follow the legendary [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]].{{Ref/Level|Id=Foundation|Hi|[[Foundation (Halo Infinite)|Foundation]]}} After the Master Chief destroyed three [[Gorespike cannon|Banished anti-aircraft cannons]], the terminally ill Escharum ordered 'Rdomnai to bring the Spartan to him.{{Ref/Level|Id=Pelican Down|Hi|[[Pelican Down (Halo Infinite level)|Pelican Down]]}} | ||

Blocked by a gate, the Master Chief climbed over it, killed a [[Sangheili Warlord]], opened the gate and continued on. Finally, the Spartan arrived at the House of Reckoning where he encountered no resistance outside. Instead, the gate opened for him on its own and after the Master Chief extended and crossed the bridge, he found the door to the Banished stronghold unlocked.{{Ref/Level|Id=The Road|Hi|[[The Road (level)|The Road]]}} | ||

Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Master Chief was able to slay the Banished forces with scavenged UNSC weapons and proceed to the next level of the House of Reckoning. | ||
On the second level, the Master Chief was taunted by another holographic message from Escharum and entered yet another arena where he faced more waves of Banished troops. This time, the troops included a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]] pair, but the Spartan succeeded in eliminating them and ascending to the third level where Escharum taunted him about the [[Battle over Installation 07|defeat]] of the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. | On the second level, the Master Chief was taunted by another holographic message from Escharum and entered yet another arena where he faced more waves of Banished troops.

On the third level, the Master Chief was drawn by voices into the single structure in the middle of the arena.

Aided by [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Hudson Griffin]]'s [[Threat Sensor]], the Master Chief managed to kill the sadistic [[Blademaster]] and continue on. As he headed for the fourth and final level of the House of Reckoning, Escharum warned that the Banished came prepared for [[Installation 07 conflict|war]] and a thousand legions controlled Zeta Halo and that no matter the outcome of their battle, the Master Chief's interference would be just a fleeting irritation.{{Ref/Level|Id=House of Reckoning|Hi|[[House of Reckoning]]}} | ||
