==Summary==
==Summary==
[[Fireteam Crimson]] arrives at "[[the Cauldron]]" and fights its way to [[Magma Base]]. With the aid of the Marines stationed there and a pair of stationary auto-turrets, Crimson is able to defend the base from numerous waves of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] attackers. Once the coast is clear, [[Roland]] contacts Crimson's handler [[Jared Miller]], informing him that Spartan [[Gabriel Thorne]]'s [[Identification friend or foe|IFF]] tag has been detected in the vicinity. Crimson finds only Thorne's IFF transmitter and signs of a struggle, but Roland finds enough evidence to extrapolate the path Thorne took out of the area.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*When playing locally with two or fewer players or co-op online, the chapter features four [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System|Mantises]]; two at the beginning and two behind the generators. When playing in matchmaking there are instead two [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|LAAG Warthogs]] and two [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|Gauss Warthogs]].

**Note that this only exclusive for Xbox users while for the players who own a PC version of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the player will only be able to use Mantises and can play co-op online while matchmaking was disabled.
*Completing the chapter without losing a generator on [[Heroic]] or harder will unlock the [[What Power Outage?]] achievement.
