==Walkthrough==
==Overview==
To perform it, at least two players must be playing. They will have to push the box under the [[Shade|Shade turret]] away, as shown in the video. Player B will then wait behind under the Shade. While Player A must go further and destroy the Deployable lookout tower next to the [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion Tank]]. Once destroyed, Player A must go behind the tower and look (in the Out of Bounds zone) for a button and press it. A second button will appear under the Shade turret and Player B must press it. If Player B fails to press the button after a short period of time, it will disappear and Player A must press the first button again. When the two buttons are pressed, four Banshees will spawn on the roof on the first building.
This Easter egg is especially useful for playthroughs on [[Legendary]] difficulty due to the ability to skip past a large portion of the level. However, care must be taken not to activate the Easter egg ''before'' destroying the two [[Cheru-pattern Tyrant|anti-air guns]] early in the mission, as activating the Easter egg will make the two guns invulnerable and prevent progress through the mission. If completing the mission is a goal, destroy the anti-air guns ''first'' then return to the mission's start and activate the Easter egg as normal.


After this easter egg is activated, the Anti-air guns in the next area will become invulnerable and the player will be unable to progress any further. However, if the player destroys the anti-air guns and then does the easter egg, they will still be able to progress through the level with the Banshee. They can take the Banshee inside the area where the two hunters were fought in ONI:Sword Base, but must abandon them there if they wish to continue the mission.

First off, start The Package with at least two players (skulls are irrelevant). Clear the first area, but make sure you have at least one {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}} left driveable. Use the Ghost to push the crate (pictured below) away, showing nothing but wall. Keep at least 1 player near this wall while the other(s) claim the [[Scorpion]]. Clear the tower and some forces nearby which may kill you.

The Four Banshees Easter egg is an Easter egg in Halo: Reach. It allows the players to fly four Banshees on the campaign level, The Package.

Overview[edit]

This Easter egg is especially useful for playthroughs on Legendary difficulty due to the ability to skip past a large portion of the level. However, care must be taken not to activate the Easter egg before destroying the two anti-air guns early in the mission, as activating the Easter egg will make the two guns invulnerable and prevent progress through the mission. If completing the mission is a goal, destroy the anti-air guns first then return to the mission's start and activate the Easter egg as normal.

Walkthrough[edit]

First off, start The Package with at least two players (skulls are irrelevant). Clear the first area, but make sure you have at least one Karo'etba-pattern Ghost left driveable. Use the Ghost to push the crate (pictured below) away, showing nothing but wall. Keep at least 1 player near this wall while the other(s) claim the Scorpion. Clear the tower and some forces nearby which may kill you.
