'''The Silent Cartographer''' is the fourth [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. | '''The Silent Cartographer''' is the fourth [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''. | ||
The [[Covenant]] believe that | The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] believe that the Silent Cartographer is somewhere under an island, with multiple structures concealing the installation. The Master Chief leads the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] in an [[Battle of the Silent Cartographer|assault]] on that island that contains the map room for the [[Installation 04|Halo Installation]], in order to locate the [[Control Room]]. | ||
In ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', completion of this level on any difficulty rewards the player the "[[The Silent Cartographer (achievement)|The Silent Cartographer]]" [[achievement]] and 25 [[Gamerpoint|Gamerscore points]]. On [[Heroic]] or [[Legendary]], if the player doesn't lose any Marine allies in the initial assault on the beach, he or she receives the "[[Beachhead (achievement)|Beachhead]]" achievement and 10 Gamerscore points. On Heroic and Legendary, if the player doesn't fire their weapon at all after accessing the Cartographer, he or she is awarded the "[[Grenadier (achievement)|Grenadier]]" achievement, worth 25 Gamerscore points. | |||

* | *The Zealot in the first part of level who stands behind the door can be killed using several Magnum clips. However, he will still appear later in the level. | ||
*It is also possible to drive the Warthog into the door before it locks near the beginning of the level. The door will close through the midsection of the Warthog, with the driver and passenger seats on the other side of the locked door. The person driving is able to get out of the Warthog at this point and stay on the other side of the doorway, skipping a large chunk of the level. If done, the Zealot on the other side will not move or act, and can be killed easily, though he will appear again upon coming back up when exiting the Cartographer. This glitch is quite hard to do, requiring that the Warthog be driven at full speed and with perfect accuracy into the doorway, and requires a bit of luck and knowledge of the path. | *The player can get on top of the island by grenade jumping, or by making a Mgalekgolo push him/her up the cliffs. | ||

*It can also be noted that a Warthog can be driven down into the main structure to where the locked door is. If the Marines in the Warthog stay in the tunnels they will survive the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] attack at the end of the level. If the player manages to get the Warthog even further into the tunnel, where they first met the Zealot, and get inside, the Marines will freeze. | |||
