==Speculation==
Any enemies that you encounter on the way, except the first two [[Jackal Sniper]]s, will not be able to see you.
Some fans have speculated that if you collect all of the Halo 2 [[skulls]] in a certain order then activate that switch it will spawn another switch on [[High Charity (Level)|High Charity]] near the ceiling of the big room with the [[drones]].


This has also been widely speculated to just be a placeholder for the gondola for the level [[Regret (Level)|Regret]].

There has been a Youtube video claiming there is a tri-gate in the level [[Keyes (level)|Keyes]]; it showed the player by the [[Proto-Gravemind]] looking down the ramp, and it showed a black triangle on the floor. There was another one close to it right by one of the doors.

In ''Halo 2'' there is a big triangle underwater in the level Delta Halo right under the second ruins on the level.

On [[Cairo Station]] there is a triangle on a blue window, and this can be seen outside of the level. On [[Outskirts]] behind the [[Pelican]] you can see a black triangle. Right by the [[Blind Skull]], if you look at the left corner, there will be another black triangle and some people say that if you throw a grenade by the triangle next to the skull, it will go out of the triangle by the [[Pelican]]. There is also a gate on [[The Great Journey (level)|The Great Journey]] at the end of the level where the [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] breaks down the door. To the right of where it stops moving is an alcove where the gate is. It is unreachable in a banshee (unless you [[glitch]]) due to a barrier.

The High Charity Button[edit]

There seems to be another gate on High Charity. There is no way to reach it since it is floating some where in the room were it is located at.[1]

Tri-Gates[edit]

There are also mysterious triangles, hidden in Halo 2, that are rumored to be connected to the mystery of the gate. There is one outside Delta Halo, one outside Cairo Station, one outside Terminal, several in and outside Outskirts (although these could be graphical glitches) and one in Metropolis. There are various videos on Youtube, some of which are linked below. They may be connected to the spawn points for the secret skulls. It is possible though unlikely that they are actual gates. They may just be graphical errors, or one of Bungie's favorite shape.

Halo:Combat Evolved[edit]

Main article: Halo: Combat Evolved

There has been a Youtube video claiming there is a tri-gate in the level Keyes; it showed the player by the Proto-Gravemind looking down the ramp, and it showed a black triangle on the floor. There was another one close to it right by one of the doors.

Halo 2[edit]

Main article: Halo 2

In Halo 2 there is a big triangle underwater in the level Delta Halo right under the second ruins on the level. On Metropolis there is a small triangle under the door that leads to the docks behind the building. On Cairo Station there is a triangle on a blue window, and this can be seen outside of the level. On Outskirts behind the Pelican you can see a black triangle. Right by the Blind Skull, if you look at the left corner, there will be another black triangle and some people say that if you throw a grenade by the triangle next to the skull, it will go out of the triangle by the Pelican. There is also a gate on The Great Journey at the end of the level where the Scarab breaks down the door. To the right of where it stops moving is an alcove where the gate is. It is unreachable in a banshee (unless you glitch) due to a barrier. If you stand on the Scarab's leg as it is moving, it might launch you into the alcove (or kill you).

Halo 3[edit]

Main article: Halo 3

There is also a newly discovered Tri-Gate in Halo 3, way outside The Ark. Many saw the shape as an Infection sign or a Prophet or Master Chief's face, due to the different perception of different players.

On the Campaign level The Storm, there is a simple glitch to get out of the level, revealing three mysterious gates.

Another Tri-Gate in Halo 3 is the one on The Covenant. It is on top of the third tower and the only way to get to it is by getting out of the map with a Hornet or Banshee.
