“

The Banished are searching for something called The Conservatory, which is buried deep within the Halo. Enter it and discover its true purpose.

”

Conservatory is the seventh campaign level in Halo Infinite.

Overview

“

Chief and the Weapon descend into the Conservatory to discover its purpose. Inside they meet the installation's monitor, Despondent Pyre, who speaks of an entity called the Harbinger before being suddenly abducted. Chief follows but is to late, and finds the Monitor battered and dismantled. Deeper in the Conservatory, Chief and the Weapon come face to face with the Harbinger, who prophesies the return of the Endless. The Harbinger escapes, Master Chief and the Weapon set off in pursuit.

”

Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and the Weapon entered the Conservatory, fighting through Banished troops inside. They met 117649 Despondent Pyre, the monitor of Installation 07 through a window looking into the Conservatory's main chamber, but the conversation was cut short when the monitor was attacked and captured by Skimmers. They followed in pursuit, overhearing Despondent Pyre pleading with an unknown entity. Arriving at bottom floor of the central chamber, they found Despondent Pyre's chassis broken apart. The two also found out Cortana was talking to Despondent Pyre when UNSC Infinity arrived six months ago in December 2559; Cortana made mention of something that the ring contained something worse than the Flood. The Skimmers returned, attacking the Chief. The Spartan fought his way out of the Conservatory, finally meeting the unknown entity, who introduced herself as "The Harbinger", at the surface. During the brief confrontation, the Harbinger locked John-117's armor, and used the monitor's encephalon to initiate the Reformation. She then fled to the Reformation Spire in the distance, with John-117 in pursuit.

Transcript

John-117 descends into the Conservatory.

• Weapon: "I wonder what the Banished are looking for down here."

• John-117: "Let's go find out."

The Chief comes across a room containing a dead Spartan.

• Weapon: "Another Spartan. Get me close."

The Chief kneels down to examine the fallen Spartan. He picks up a Drop wall|piece of equipment]] next to the body.

• Weapon: "A Drop wall module. Deployable cover. Resilient but temporary."

The Drop wall module is integrated into the Chief's armor.

John places a hand on the fallen Spartan's shoulder.

• Weapon: "Scan complete. This is Spartan Vedrana Makovich. Armor's been offline for thirteen days. Cause of death is..."

• John-117: "What?"

• Weapon: "An enhanced energy blade. Same as Spartan Stone. There's a pattern emerging. Chief, who's doing this?"

• John-117: "We're going to find out."

He stands back up and continues his journey through the Conservatory.

The Chief heads through the Conservatory, killing any Banished troops he comes across. At one point, he comes across a disabled door.

• Weapon: "Hmmm. It looks like the Banished are trying to stop us moving forward."

• John-117: "Can you open it?"

• Weapon: "Of course... If you can magic up a terminal of some kind. Or find an alternative power source to get this door open."

The Chief finds a Power seed and inserts it into a nearby Crucible. The door opens.

• Weapon: "There we go. Simple."

The Chief continues his way through the Conservatory, eventually coming across another disabled door.

• Weapon: "Another disabled door. I'll say one thing for the Banished. When they have an idea... they stick with it."

After clearing out the Banished in the room, the Chief finds a power seed and inserts it into a Crucible. The door remains shut.

• Weapon: "Hmmm. It needs more power. Find another one."

Banished reinforcements storm the room. After the Chief deals with them, he locates another power seed and inserts into a second Crucible. This time, the door opens.

• Weapon: "And it's open. C'mon. Let's go before they get really creative."

The Chief proceeds through the door and starts moving down a ramp.

• Weapon: "Wait... Do you hear that? It's coming from up ahead."

As the Chief moves across the chamber, he can now hear a heavy knocking sound, but the source is nowhere to be seen. The Chief approaches a terminal at the end of the chamber and deploys the Weapon.

{Cutscene}

• John-117: "Open it."

The Weapon raises a hand and the wall in front of them retracts itself, revealing the source of the pounding noise: A green-eyed Monitor that has been banging itself against a glass window. The Monitor is flying around frantically, still trapped in a large fog-filled chamber by the glass window.

• 117649 Despondent Pyre: (urgent) "Help! Help me! This installation... The Harbinger... exile was absolute. How did she return? It's impossible. This cannot be... I need to go back. Find out what happened."

• Weapon: "We should help her!"

• John-117: "Maybe."

• Despondent Pyre: "No! She is correct. I request your assistance."

The Chief cautiously raises his weapon, in case the Monitor becomes hostile.

• Weapon: "Who are you? What's your name?"

• Despondent Pyre: "I am Despondent Pyre, Monitor of this installation and this is my Conservatory. My Conservatory. This is not right. Perhaps you would- Oh no!"

Her eye turns red as four winged creatures suddenly descend on the Monitor from above and surround her. Two of the creatures are carrying Banished Shock rifles, while the other two are unarmed. Despondent Pyre tries to escape, but the creatures are too fast.

One of the unarmed creatures grabs the Monitor by her right side and starts pulling on down her. The other unarmed creatures grabs her from the left side and pulls up on her. The first creature rips the side plating off of Despondent Pyre, causing her to burst into flames. At the same time, one of the armed creature fires its shock rifle at her, but misses and hits the other armed creature instead, setting it on fire, and causing it to flee. The Monitor fires an energy beam from her eye, killing the remaining armed creature. The creature still grappling the Monitor drags her down into a foggy chasm and out of sight, with the other unarmed creature flying after them. Pieces of the destroyed creature rain down into the chasm.

The Chief turns from the window.

• John-117: "Let's go."

• Weapon: "Where?"

• John-117: "Down there."

He uploads the Weapon back into his armor.

{Gameplay}

The Chiefs heads towards a now accessible door on the left.

• Weapon: "What were those flying things?"

• John-117: "New. Dangerous"

• Weapon: "And Despondent Pyre?"

• John-117: "New. Potentially dangerous."

• Weapon: "See. You can be optimistic."
