| | | '''Relic Interior''' is the third level of the real-time strategy game, ''[[Halo Wars]]''. [[UNSC]] forces on [[Harvest]] have entered the [[Relic (Structure)|Relic]] seen in the [[Relic Approach (Level)|previous mission]]. Sergeant [[John Forge]], [[Ellen Anders|Professor Anders]], and their accompanying [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] are pinned down by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces deep inside the Relic. Two [[Grizzly|Grizzlies]] are sent down into the Relic to rescue the trapped forces. |

| '''Relic Interior''' is the third level in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces on [[Harvest]] have entered the [[Forerunner]] [[Relic (location)|Relic]]. Sergeant [[John Forge]], [[Ellen Anders|Professor Anders]], and their accompanying [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] are pinned down by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces deep inside the Relic. Two [[M850 Grizzly|Grizzlies]] are sent down into the Relic to rescue the trapped forces. | |
| | |
| ==Summary==
| |
| In the [[Relic]], now under [[UNSC]] control, Professor [[Ellen Anders]] examines the central console against the protests of Sergeant [[John Forge]]. To their surprise, the console [[Reclaimer|reacts to her touch]] and activates, revealing a [[star map]]. Before they can examine the star map too closely, [[active camouflage|cloaked]] [[Covenant]] forces attack, determined to remove the humans from the holy relic. Pinned down, Forge calls for assistance from the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.
| |
| | |
| With [[Alpha Base (Harvest)|Alpha Base]] under heavy Covenant attack again, it is unable to send backup. Instead, Captain [[James Cutter]] sends down two [[M850 Grizzly|Grizzly tanks]] from the ''Spirit of Fire'' itself to help out. The tanks fight through heavy Covenant forces inside of the Relic and rescue Anders, Forge and their trapped Marines. Anders is able to repair the damage to the tanks which help cover the retreat back outside to an LZ. The retreat is hampered by [[Unggoy]] destroying the controls to the bridge back across a chasm, but Anders manages to activate the other bridge while the tanks and Marines cover her.
| |
| | |
| Finally, the retreating UNSC forces reach the exit, but come under heavy attack from Covenant [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]. While the rest of the UNSC force plus other Marines who were already fighting outside remain behind to cover their retreat, Anders and Forge escape outside the structure where they are extracted by Pelican to the ''Spirit of Fire''.

| ===Easter eggs===
| | *If you lose all your units and Forge and Anders are downed, you will not get a mission failure, but you will be unable to finish the mission. |
| *The [[Halo Wars skulls#Cowbell|Cowbell skull]] is accessible after killing 45 Mgalekgolo, and can be found in front of the relic console, where Anders and Forge were pinned down.
| | *Until rescued, the Marine squads by Forge and Anders will be able to take a lot of damage, but will die slowly. However, they will end up killing a lot of enemies, making them gain ranks, allowing them to live longer. |
| *The [[Black Boxes#Mission 3: Relic Interior|Black Box]] in this level is located outside the Relic, at the end of a pathway in the northwest, beside a crash Pelican.
| |
| ===Miscellaneous===
| |
| *If the player lose all of their units and Forge and Anders are downed, they will not fail the mission, but will be unable to finish the mission. | |
| *Until rescued, the Marine squads by Forge and Anders will be able to take a lot of damage, allowing them to kill a lot of enemies, causing them to gain veterancy points, which in turn allow them to take even more damage and live even longer. | |
