Unyielding is the fourth track in Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 2. It also serves as the basis of the ninth track Reclaimer.

Overview[edit]

The piece is a fast paced piano and electric guitar piece meant to accompany action sequences of similar pace, it later incorporates strings playing a variation of a segment of the Halo Theme. It uses the same rhythm as Rock Anthem for Saving the World did in Halo: Combat Evolved.

Appearances[edit]

The track is heard during the Halo 2 level Uprising, in the section "Step Aside! Let the Man Go Through", and plays during the opening fight in the canyon leading to the Brute camp.

Arrangements[edit]

In The Package from Halo Legends, a rearrangement of Unyielding plays during the scene where John-117, Kelly-087 and Frederic-104 are fighting their way through the Covenant ship, and finishes just after John and Kelly are separated. The piece was not included in the Halo Legends: Original Soundtrack.

Even though Unyielding was rearranged for Halo 2: Anniversary, the album only featured Genesong, the reinterpretation of Reclaimer.
