It is used to reach many unintended locations throughout the level with multiple methods, like using the [[Sputnik]] skull and/or Feather Skull (one of the new skulls from ''[[Halo: Master Chief Collection]]'').

It is also possible to reach the start of ''Delta Halo'', with the same effects previously mentioned, except drastically less detailed than the former. | ||
