'''Sentinel walls''' | '''Sentinel walls'''<ref name="h2firstlook">[[Halo_2_Collector's_Edition#Collector.27s_Edition_DVD|'''Halo 2''': ''First Look'']]</ref> are massive walls on [[Halo Array|Halo installations]] intended to serve as means of containment if primary measures fail in the event of a severe [[Flood]] outbreak. As their name suggests, the walls house numerous [[Sentinel]]s to both repair the facility and keep the Flood from spreading beyond the wall; they also serve the function of generating an [[Containment shield|energy barrier]] around the Library. A Sentinel wall surrounded the [[Quarantine Zone]] around the [[Library]] of [[Installation 05]] to keep the Flood from spreading.<ref name="icon">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Sacred Icon]]''</ref> | ||

The wall appears to have been designed to keep the outbreak of Flood around Delta Halo's Library contained within the Quarantine Zone. It is honeycombed with tunnels for the [[Sentinel]]s to travel through. Sentinels and [[Enforcer]]s keep the Flood contained, while [[Constructor]]s keep repairing the damage that the Flood inflict on the wall. In addition to the massive physical wall, the Sentinel Wall also projected an energy barrier known as the [[containment shield]]. This shield could only be deactivated from a console deep within the wall's interior, locked in place by a series of [[plug lock]]s. | The wall appears to have been designed to keep the outbreak of Flood around Delta Halo's Library contained within the Quarantine Zone.

Despite the efforts of the robotic keepers, the Flood were released when [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]] penetrated the defenses and deactivated the containment shield around the wall. During the battle on Installation 05 the Arbiter was sent into the wall to deactivate the shields keeping the [[Flood]] in the Quarantine Zone in order to let other [[Covenant]] forces fly over the wall towards the Library.<ref name="icon"/> | |||

A section of the | *A section of the Sentinel Wall is clearly visible on the ''[[Halo 2]]'' campaign levels [[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]] and [[Regret (level)|Regret]], as well as the multiplayer map [[Containment]]. The Sentinel Wall can be visible and seen ''beyond'' the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Temple (Installation 05)|Forerunner temple]] on the level Regret, denoting its massive structure and size. | ||
*It is unknown whether the other Halo installations have this feature, as [[John-117]] would have bypassed the wall due to [[343 Guilty Spark]]'s use of the [[teleportation grid]] on [[Installation 04]]. | |||
