In the final level "[[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]", in [[Halo 3]] there is a secret area for the 7th Marathon Terminal (see [[Terminals|Marathon Terminals]] Page).  Aside from the Terminal's hallway, there are two rooms: one bright room with a vertical energy beam in the center, and a dark room with a horizontal energy beam and lethal chasm.


The '''Half-Naked Guy''' is an [[Easter egg]] hidden in the [[Campaign]]s of both ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''. The easter egg depicts [[Bungie]] co-founder [[Jason Jones]] in gym shorts.
It's hard to tell by standing at the edge of the chasm, but there is a small nook on the left side of the room (left, as if one looks out over the chasm).  By watching a save film, one can detach the camera and move in there. You can also reach the area by propelling yourself with a rocket or grenade jump to get to the support piece, and then crouch jumping to the next one, then you just turn your flashlight on, zoom in, and you can see him.


==''Halo 2''/''Halo 2: Anniversary''==
In the far corner of the nook is an eerie floating cardboard cutout of Jason Jones, the co-founder of [[Bungie Studios]]. He is facing the wall, with his hands behind his head.
The Easter Egg appears in a [[cutscene]] in [[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]. To see it, you must start the level on [[Legendary]]. During the beginning cutscene, after the [[Gravemind]] finishes his long conversation with the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] and the [[John-117|Master Chief]], the camera fades to ''[[High Charity]]''. In ''High Charity'', there are [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] defending the room where the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]] are hiding from the [[Sangheili|Elites]]. When the [[Unggoy|Grunt]] climbs the arch and the camera focuses to the crowd up ahead, you can see Jason Jones standing in the crowd of [[Unggoy|Grunts]].


In ''Halo 2: Anniversary'', the requirement to see this easter egg is the same, but this time [[Frank O'Connor]] will be seen as [[Beamish]] instead of Jones.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM0JNtfy4VE '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 2: Anniversary - The "Half-Naked Guy" Easter Egg (Classic & Remastered)'']</ref>
===Other Jason Jones Appearances===
Ironically, there is a "missing person" poster on the levels "The Storm" and [[Floodgate]] with a picture of Jason Jones on it with its description saying "Khaki shorts and long socks".


==''Halo 3''==
Jason Jones is also featured amongst a group of Grunts charging towards the room where the Prophets are broadcasting in a cameo in the cutscene at the beginning of the Halo 2 Level, Gravemind. He only appears there, half naked as always, on Legendary Difficulty.

In [[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]], there is a secret area for the [[Seven|7th]] [[Terminal (Halo 3)|Terminal]]. Next to the Terminal's hallway, there are two rooms: one bright room with a vertical energy beam in the center, and a dark room with a horizontal energy beam and a lethal chasm.
 
It's hard to tell by standing at the edge of the chasm, but there is a small nook on the left side of the room (left, if one looks out over the chasm). When watching a saved film in [[Theater]], one can detach the camera and move in there. You can also reach the area by propelling yourself with a rocket or [[Explosive jumping|Explosive Jump]] to get to the support piece, crouch jumping to the next one, turning the [[flashlight]] on, and zooming in.
 
In the far corner of the nook is an eerie floating cardboard cut-out of Jason Jones, the co-founder of Bungie Studios. He is looking at the floor, with his hands behind his head.

Please note that this is a co-op walkthrough only. Begin the level (on any difficulty) and proceed to the room that contains the Terminal. When you get to the Terminal, turn around and you should see an abyss with a beam at the bottom. Be careful, because the next part is easier said than done.  
 
Please note that this is a [[campaign#Cooperative|co-op]] walkthrough only. Start the level on any difficulty and proceed to the room that contains the Terminal. When you get to the Terminal, turn around, and you should see an abyss with a beam at the bottom. Be careful, because the next part is easier said than done.
 
Have one partner (''Person A'') stand right at the edge of the abyss. Have the other partner (''Person B'') stand on his shoulders. Then, have ''Person A'' jump into the abyss. As ''Person A'' jumps, ''Person B'' should jump off of his shoulders, and land on a small piece of floor. ''Person B'' should stand to one side, as ''Person A'' will respawn right on the small beam that ''B'' is standing on. The two can then crouch-jump to another beam, and if they turn left, look toward the corner of the nook, and turn on their flashlight, they should see the Lonely Soul.


Another way to get to the Lonely Soul, also easier said than done, is to have ''Person A'' stand just out of the doorway facing the abyss with his [[M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle/Assault Weapon|Rocket Launcher]] or the [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Gun]]. Next, have ''Person B'' run towards the ledge and jump at the edge. As ''B'' does that, ''Person A'' should shoot at ''Person B'''s feet, with the resulting explosion propelling ''B'' to their destination.
Have one partner stand right at the end of the floor before the abyss. Have the other partner stand on his shoulders. Then, have the bottom partner jump into the abyss. As the bottom partner jumps, the other partner should jump off of his shoulders, and should land on a small piece of floor. Stand to one side, as the partner will respawn right on the small beam that you are standing on. You can then crouch-jump to another beam, and if you turn left and look toward the corner of the nook, turn on your flashlight. You should see the Lonely Soul.

(On a completely unrelated note, you can do another stand-on-the-shoulders jump to get to the next room, which is completely blocked out.)

One other way to get to ''the lonely soul'' (also easier said than done) is have on person stand just out of the doorway facing the abyss with his Rocket Launcher or the Fuel Rod Gun. Next, have the other person run towards the ledge and jump at the edge. As he does that the person with the Rocket Launcher should shoot at the other person's feet, denoting a exploding jump.
