==Summary==
== Transcript ==
[[Captain]] [[Andrew Del Rio]] dispatches the [[John-117|Master Chief]], [[Commander]] [[Thomas Lasky]] and [[Spartan-IV]] [[Gypsy Company]] to destroy the [[particle cannon]] network preventing the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} from reaching and destroying the [[gravity well]] generator. The Master Chief and [[Cortana]] are less than pleased to learn that Del Rio has failed to send Force Recon to check out the terrain, instead opting for a "blowthrough op." Aided by a [[M510 Mammoth|Mammoth]] and his fellow Spartans, the Master Chief presses towards the control center for the particle cannon network. After three Pelicans are shot down by the particle cannons, the Master Chief retrieves the [[H-295 target designator|target designator]] from one to paint the particle cannon for destruction by the Mammoth's [[Mark 2547 heavy railgun|Mini-MAC]]. The UNSC forces come across a shielded blockade preventing access to the second particle cannon, forcing the Master Chief to disembark and disable the shield generators. After destroying the second particle cannon, the Mammoth comes under attack by a Covenant [[Kmiro'sish-pattern Lich|Lich]], disabling the vehicle. The Master Chief is forced to eliminate the Covenant forces in the surrounding area and then board the Lich to destroy it by overloading its power core while Cortana's [[rampancy]] gets steadily worse.
 
With the Mammoth operational but heavily damaged, the UNSC forces push on to the control center before being forced to stop due to a landslide. The Master Chief proceeds on foot alone, fighting off heavy enemy forces including several [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s and [[Promethean]]s. Finally, the Chief reaches to the [[Vale Citadel]], which houses the control center where Cortana causes the two remaining cannons to destroy each other. However, Cortana vanishes from the system and the Master Chief chases her to a meeting with [[mind transfer|an imprint]] of the [[Librarian]]. The Librarian explains some of the history of the [[Forerunner]]s, [[ancient humanity]] and the [[Flood]] and reveals that the Prometheans are ancient humans digitized by the [[Composer]], a device that [[Ur-Didact|the Didact]] now seeks in order to do the same to the entire human race. After stating that the Master Chief's evolution is "the culmination of a thousand lifetimes of planning," the Librarian accelerates his evolution with the Chief's agreement to grant the Master Chief an immunity to the Composer.
 
Retrieving Cortana and heading back outside through a [[teleportation grid|portal]], the Chief discovers that ''Infinity'' has not been able to destroy the gravity well. Fighting his way to a nearby cliffside with the help of Marines and several vehicles, including [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion tanks]], the Chief paints the gravity well for ''Infinity'' with a target designator, allowing the ship to destroy it and set itself free from Requiem's influence.
 
In the aftermath of the fight, Captain Del Rio refuses to go after the Didact, citing the need to file a threat assessment back at [[FLEETCOM]] and accusing the Chief and Cortana of hallucinating the whole experience. With Cortana's rampancy worsening and Del Rio refusing to change his mind, the Master Chief decides to defy direct orders in order to go after the Didact himself with only Cortana for backup.

* It's possible to avoid spawning the two Pelicans at the beginning of the level. There will be no waypoint over Lasky and the player will not be able to gain access to a Jetpack, but they can still progress by running ahead of the Mammoth, which will trigger its departure and unveil the Jetpacks. Not spawning the Pelicans opens up many possibilities, such as backtracking to the start after visiting the crashed Pelican site (normally, there is a combination of a soft kill zone and invisible barrier accompanying warning dialogue from Palmer when they tries to go there). Most prominently, this can be used to pilot one of the aforementioned Pelicans by deloading its AI pilot, though this can only be done Co-op.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmxgxl_4dm4 '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 4: Fly a Pelican on "Reclaimer" (Trick/Glitch Tutorial)'']</ref>

* The SPARTAN-IV sniper at the beginning of the level seems to always experience a pathfinding glitch that prevents him from boarding the Mammoth. He will run left toward the rock wall and continue to run in place. Note that he will occasionally take a step back from the wall (Marines and Spartans in ''Halo 4'' are programmed to do this if they end up stuck). When he does, the player can free him by meleeing him away from the wall and immediately walking into him, though it will take some effort. It is much more easier to use a well placed grenade with Cowbell skull enabled, though it may take several tries. When freed, the Spartan will board the Mammoth as intended, unless it has already taken off.

It is much more easier to use a well placed grenade with Cowbell skull enabled, though it may take several tries. When freed, the Spartan will board the Mammoth as intended, unless it has already taken off.
* Two SPARTAN-IVs that normally board the Lich's lower turret platform may instead perform a super jump out of the map.

* There are 4 known soft walls ("holes" in walls or ceilings that let the player get out of the map) on this level. The first lets the player skip the sniper section ("sniper alley"). [[Reclaimer vacation|The second]] lets the player explore outside the Forerunner structure and enter normally inaccessible rooms. The third lets the player explore outside as well but has nothing apparent to offer.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqZtCu74meg '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 4 - Out of the map on Reclaimer (Singleplayer Glitch)'']</ref> The fourth lets the player deload the Prometheans and Cortana (and when used in conjunction with the third, it gives you early access into the room before starting the Librarian cutscene).

* In the area with the tanks, the player can flip the Scorpion (driving it off a ledge works well) and if the player stands on it as they rights it, there is a good chance the player will get thrown up very high and get stuck up there. Projectiles might not appear or do damage. If the player walks, there is no animation, and if the player goes to a place without ground below the player, they will slide down to the death barrier. If the player has the [[H-295 target designator|target designator]], they can finish the level from there, but the Master Chief will still appear in the cutscene.

* There is an inconsistency on the gender of the pilot of ''Papa Foxtrot 766''. After being shot down, it is a male Marine who answers Palmer. However, when John-117 reaches the crash site, there is only a male Marine there, and a female voice (likely a passenger) will express her thanks for the rescue.

* In ''The Master Chief Collection'', the final cutscene featured broken dynamic lighting, giving the scene a flat appearance. This error was fixed in the [[Series 8: Mythic]] patch.

* If the player manages to bring the Warthog across the river before the area where the Mammoth stop due to blockade, all players inside the Warthog will be automatically ejected and the Warthog will also self-destruct.
**This includes if the Warthog is also parked inside the Mammoth as any NPC riding such vehicle, will be also dismounted from the Warthog automatically before the vehicle explodes.
* If the player plays ''Halo 4'' using ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection,'' here are the tips for getting a par time and score.
**Getting par time is difficult at any difficulty if the player stays inside the Mammoth. After clearing the Phantom pinning down the pilot and destroying the Particle cannon, get on the Warthog and return to the Mammoth. When the Mammoth park inside a "Death Zone," a large river, immediately go out from the Mammoth once the ramp opens and continue to push until the next particle cannon objective. Wait for the Mammoth to get a clear shot, take it down, and use the Gauss Warthog to set up an ambush at the Lich's landing zone. If this trick performed, the player can cut up to 5 minutes, enough to earn a par time.
**Keep your rocket turrets alive at the Mammoth since it's essential for the players to earn more points. Destroying a Phantom can earn a player more points, enough to score up to 25,000 to the end of the level.
