'''One Final Effort''' is | '''One Final Effort''' is a song included in the ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]''. It is heard on the level [[The Covenant (level)]] when you face the two [[Scarab]]s. It is the third movement of the Covenant Suite. | ||
It starts with a piano playing the theme from [[This is the Hour]]. It then switches to the ''[[Halo 3]]'' version of the [[Halo Theme]]. The end is a soft string melody that fades to a close. Furthermore, this song also seems to be a remake of [[Unyielding]] from ''[[Halo 2]]''. Also, a large part of this song is used as part of the [[Truth and Reconciliation Suite]]. | |||
The song plays at the beginning of The Covenant, and during the Scarab battle. A different version, one that is more true to the original Halo Theme is also featured during the Warthog escape in the [[Halo (Level) (Halo 3)|last level]]. | |||
This song could be a reference to the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s quote and Lord Hood's quote, which both say 'One Final Effort is all that remains'. | |||
It runs for 3 minutes and 59 seconds. | |||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
*At the end of the level [[High Charity (level)|High Charity]] the Prophet of Truth can be heard saying ''"If you are to falter know this: One final effort is all that remains."'' <ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', level ''[[High Charity (level)|High Charity]]''</ref> This may imply that the Prophet of Truth is encouraging the last troops of ''[[High Charity]]'' to commit suicide rather than be killed by the [[Flood]], though this would not prevent infection, or it could refer to the activation of [[Installation 05]]. This line originates from dialog recording sessions conducted pre-Halo where [[Jaime Griesemer]] is directing [[Jason Jones]] in a painful attempt at a Scottish accent. [http://www.bungie.net/images/News/InlineImages/jasonjones.mp3 An mp3] of the clip is available on [http://www.bungie.net/News/Media.aspx?mid=13877 Bungie.net media player] <ref>Bungie.net News: [http://admin.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=922 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Day Memories'']</ref> | |||
*At the end of the level | *Additionally, at the end of the level {{Levelname|Tsavo Highway}}, [[Lord Hood]] tells the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] "One final effort is all that remains." He is referring to the final defeat of the [[Covenant]]. Incidentally, this song plays during the battle outside the [[Citadel (Forerunner)|Citadel]], regarded as the Covenant's last stand. As such, this track plays during the [[UNSC]]'s 'final effort' to defeat the Covenant. | ||
