The Chief turns around and runs, jumps down a ledge, landing about several feet below where he was. After that he turns and runs the entire length of the temple, as the temple starts exploding. He barely makes it off, and is flung into the water, where he slowly begins to sink with other bits of stone from the temple.''


''As the Chief continues to sink, a pair of tentacles (in the Anniversary version just one tentacle) come/comes up from the bottom. A deep, disembodied voice speaks out.''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
===Glitches===
===Glitches===
*Because Regret is the second part of a two-part level, the player's weapons will carry over from [[Delta Halo]], unless one of the weapons is a Rocket Launcher. If the player finishes Delta Halo with a Rocket Launcher, they will start Regret with a Beam Rifle and an SMG. Sometimes the Rocket Launcher the player received in the beginning of Delta Halo will be carried over.
*Because Regret is the second part of a two-part level, your weapons will carry over from [[Delta Halo (Level)|Delta Halo]], unless one of your weapons is a Rocket Launcher. If you finish Delta Halo with a Rocket Launcher you will start Regret with a Beam Rifle and an SMG. Occasionally you will successfully carry a Rocket Launcher over, but usually only if the Rocket Launcher is the one you started Delta Halo with.
*Occasionally a graphics glitch will cause the [[Fish (Installation 05)|fish]] to swim ''through'' the underwater elevator and its occupants (Marines and Spartans) while the player is traveling between towers.
*Occasionally a graphics glitch will cause the [[Fish (Delta Halo habitat)|fish]] to swim ''through'' the underwater elevator and its occupants (Marines and Spartans) while you are traveling between towers.
*When in the room that leads to the first underwater elevator, if the player has a sniper weapon, they can see the trio of Jackals spawning abruptly in the elevator after the Marine alerts the team of the Jackals' presence.
*The [[Regret Vacation]] can be done on this level.
*The [[Regret vacation]] glitch can be done on this level. 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]]''). For example, if player equips Sputnik and Feather, avoids kill barriers, and goes under the lake, it is possible to reach [[Temple (Installation 05)|Regret's Shrine]], albeit, with a much lower polygonal count and with severely less detail in the original ''Halo 2'' graphics. It is also possible to reach the start of ''Delta Halo'', with the same effects previously mentioned, except drastically less detailed than the former.
*When you are waiting for the first elevator to come up, and if you have a sniper rifle, use it and zoom in the shaft 10x. Wait a while, and when the elevator comes up, a squadron of Jackals will suddenly spawn inside the elevator.


===Mistakes===
===Mistakes===
*When the Covenant fleet jumps in, the noises the jumps make travel at many times the speed of sound. There should be a delay.

===Easter Eggs===
[[File:HTMCC-H2 HI BEN.jpg|thumb|The HI BEN easter egg found on this level.]]
*The [[Halo 2 Skulls#Assassins|Assassins Skull]] can be found on this level. Even though it can be found on lower difficulties, its effect will not activate.
*The [[Halo 2 skulls#Assassins|Assassins Skull]] can be found on this level. Even though it can be found on lower difficulties, its effect will not activate or unlock an achievement.
*On the area where you have come out of the last underwater elevator, there is a stone courtyard with a fallen pillar on it. In this courtyard is a stone sofa.{{citation needed}}
*The chant Regret sings throughout the level is a variation of the Gregorian chant from the Halo Theme, though deeper.
*The [[HI BEN]] easter egg can be found on the ceiling in one of the towers before boarding the first gondola.
* The seventh terminal is a Forerunner terminal in the large submerged room with Kig-Yar Snipers, Yanme'e, Sangheili Honor Guardsmen, and a pair of Mgalekgolo. The terminal is on the upper level, on the pillar behind Prophet of Regret's hologram.


===References===
===References===
*When the Prophet of Regret is killed, a fully charged plasma pistol drops beside him. This is later referenced in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', where Regret secretly brought the same weapon to a meeting with the [[Prophet of Mercy|Philologist]]. In ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'', he was rumored to have the same weapon with him to kill any acolytes who questioned him.
*When you kill [[Prophet of Regret|Regret]], you should see a 100% charged [[Plasma Pistol]] beside him and his throne. This is later referenced in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', where Regret secretly brought the same weapon to a meeting with the [[Prophet of Mercy|Philologist]]. In ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'', he was rumored to have the same weapon with him to kill any acolytes who questioned him.
*It is ironic that Regret would condemn humans for damaging Forerunner relics when he had ordered the destruction of a Forerunner [[Relic (location)|structure]] on [[Harvest]] in [[2531]].{{Ref/Level|HW|[[Relic Approach]]}}
 
*It's ironic that Regret would condemn humans for damaging Forerunner relics when he himself [[Relic Approach|once ordered the destruction of a Forerunner temple]].


===Miscellaneous===
===Miscellaneous===
*When on the Gondola to the Main Temple, two Banshees will attack; however, it is impossible to pilot them. Even if the player does manage to kill the pilot and have it land on the Gondola in one piece, the player still wouldn't be able to commandeer them.
*When on the Gondola to the Main Temple, two Banshees will attack; however, it is impossible to drive them. Even if you do manage to kill the pilot and have it land on the Gondola in one piece, you still wouldn't be able to drive them.
*The [[Sentinel Wall]] can be seen in the distance, implying that the area is close to the [[Library]].
*You can see the [[Sentinel Wall]] in the distance, implying that the area is close to the [[Library]].
*In the room with the first elevator, a sleeping Grunt and a Fuel Rod Gun beside him can be seen on the top floor.
*If you begin this level after just playing [[Delta Halo (Level)|the previous level]], your weapons will carry over. However, if you just started the level, you begin with a Beam Rifle and an SMG. Your Marine allies, however, do not carry over. You will begin with two Marine allies armed either with SMGs, Shotguns, or Battle Rifles, which are randomly selected.
*Before triggering the initial hunter encounter, it is possible to ride the first gondola directly to the first lake tower. The player must grenade jump to the tower immediately right of the gondola platform and simply jump onto the gondola from the tower. This will effectively skip all combat from the initial hunter encounter all the way to the interior of the first lake tower.
*In the room with the first elevator, if you go up a ramp all the way you'll end up on a platform with either a dead grunt or a sleeping one with a fuel rod cannon next to it.
*This is the first level in which you start off with a [[Beam Rifle]] while playing as [[John 117]] by default.
