On the ''Halo 2'' level [[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]], in the opening cutscene, Jason Jones can be seen wearing only a pair of gym shorts. To find him, one must start the level on [[Legendary]]. After the [[Gravemind]]'s conversation with [[John-117|Master Chief]] and the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] finishes, the camera fades in to [[High Charity]]. When it focuses on the crowd of [[Unggoy|Grunts]]. You can see him among the spectators there.

{{Main|Missing Person Poster}}
He appears on a poster found at the end of the ''Halo 3'' level [[The Storm]], and at the beginning of [[Floodgate]].
 
===Halo===
{{Main|Lonely Soul Easter Egg}}
He can also be seen when playing on the ''Halo 3'' campaign level [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]], on [[Co-op]], as well as in [[Theater]], but the dark area makes it difficult. During gameplay, find the [[Terminal]]. After both players are at the room, look on the opposite side of the Terminal. You will see a large gap and a small section of floor on the other side. This is the place you need to go to see the egg. Have one player stand at the edge and the other on the first's head, and face the gap. Then both jump simultaneously forward. Player 2 should now be on the section of floor, and Player 1 should have died and re-spawned beside him. Then crouch jump on the next. Turn on your [[flashlight]] and look to your left, and there he is, standing on a small room with his usual shorts and his hands behind his head.
 
There are more pieces of floor after the two mentioned, and they are known to hide other secrets.
