The '''Disappearing Truth''' is a [[glitch]] that can be performed on [[Halo 3]] [[campaign]] level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]].


'''Disappearing Truth''' is a [[glitches|glitch]] that can be performed on the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign|Campaign]] Level, [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]. It is a Physics related oddity that sometimes causes the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s corpse to fall through the ground.
==How To Do It==
In the last section of the level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]], after you have reached and killed the [[Prophet of Truth]], you can melee (or "teabag") the Prophet of Truth once, causing him to fall through the platform on which his body rests. Note that the area in which Truth resides afterwords sort of resembles a tomb, a final resting place for the Prophet. When he falls beneath the platform you can see him, though you cannot reach him or get him out again.
This also works on the [[Flood]] [[Combat Form]]s if you manage to kill them on the platform without destroying the body.


==Walkthrough==
This is a glitch due to Halo 3's physics engine, and can be seen throughout the game if enemy, or friendly units, are killed in certain ways, or are moved to certain places using the melee attack. Another common glitch of the physics engine is when units are killed while falling, and stop, but their body keeps flailing about, like it is still falling.

This will cause him to fall through the platform on which his body rests. Note that the area in which Truth resides afterward sort of resembles a tomb. When he falls beneath the platform, you can see him, though you cannot reach him or get him out again.


Sometimes, the glitch causes Truth's hand to wiggle.

This also works on the [[The Flood|Flood]] [[Flood combat form|Combat Forms]] if you manage to kill them on the platform and subsequently melee/teabag them without destroying the body.

==Explanation==
This is a glitch in ''Halo 3'''s physics engine, and can be seen throughout the game if enemy or friendly units are killed in certain ways, or are moved to certain places using the melee attack. Another common physics glitch is when units are killed while falling; it causes their bodies to flail about for an extended period of time upon landing.
 
It may also be related to the "dead reflex" that [[Bungie]] added to dead bodies in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.
