-Hanging Garden A was located between the [[High Council Chamber]] and the [[Mid Tower]].<ref name="strategy"/>
+During the first hours of the [[Great Schism]], both [[Sangheili]]-led and the [[Jiralhanae]]-led Covenant groups tried to take the gardens. [[Special Operations Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]] dueled with [[Jiralhanae]] forces, including several [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Jiralhanae Honor Guardsmen]] for control of the garden. Later on, two [[Sangheili Ranger]]s came to assist their allies. During his chase of the [[Prophet of Truth]], John-117 slew all Covenant forces in the area.{{Ref/Reuse|gravemind}}
-During the first hours of the [[Great Schism]], both [[Swords of Sanghelios|the Sangheili-led]] and the [[Covenant|Brute-led]] Covenant groups tried to take the gardens. [[Special Operations Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]] dueled with [[Jiralhanae]] for control of the garden. Later on, two [[Sangheili Ranger]]s came to assist the separatist cause. During his chase of the [[Prophet of Truth]], John-117 slew all of the forces, as the separatists had not yet allied with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]].<ref name="gravemind"/>
+===Hanging Garden B===
+During the opening stages of the Great Schism, the Sangheili-led Covenant tried to attack the garden, but were repelled by the Jiralhanae. All Sangheili were slaughtered in the heated combat. John-117 arrived just in time to see two berserking Jiralhanae massacring the retreating Unggoy. The Chief and accompanying Marines slew them all during their pursuit to the Prophet of Truth.{{Ref/Reuse|gravemind}}
-The area, although fairly small, was rather complicated. There were two hills on each side, and only one way to get to them. It was sometimes a difficult to find area, especially since the area was somewhat dim. In addition, there was a [[Kig-yar Sniper]] on the immediate right, which might be hard to spot.<ref name="gravemind"/>
