===Glitches===
[[File:H5G-TwoArbiters.png|thumb|300px|Two-Arbiter cutscene glitch, with the second one distantly seen in the background on the left]]
* Near the end of the level where the Arbiter helps defeat Promethean enemies, there is certain dialogue from the Arbiter, Locke, and Warden Eternal that is not always heard during a playthrough. The only way to ensure they deliver every piece of scripted dialogue is to play the level without dying or without reverting to a prior checkpoint.
* If the Arbiter hasn't disappeared from the fight against Warden Eternal, the cutscene will rarely, and briefly, show two Arbiters. One being his scripted stride, and the other his NPC AI.
===Production notes===
* The last part of the level after the Hunters, is taken from [[Halo 5: Guardians E3 2015 Campaign Demo]], with various differences.
===Miscellaneous===
* The cutscene of Locke (or any Osiris member) nearly falling off the crumbling path can be skipped if the player runs fast enough, such as with the speed boost granted by wielding an [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]].

* The Arbiter is invincible as a [[Non-playable character]] ally, unlike ''[[Halo 3]]'' where he could be temporarily killed. However, should he be knocked off into the sea, such as with the [[Z-520 splinter turret|Splinter Turrets]] used by [[Soldier Officer]]s, he will then never be seen again until either the Promethean part of the mission or the ending cutscene of the mission.

* The exchange between Buck and Tanaka where Buck says he'll, "Buy the whole damn bar" may potentially be a reference to Half-Life: Opposing Force, where the Marines have a chance of saying, "Man, if we make it out of here alive, I'm buying you all a round of beers. Hell, I'll buy the whole damn bar!"


=== Glitches ===
==Gallery==
* Near the end of the level where the Arbiter helps defeat Promethean enemies, there is additional dialogue from the Arbiter, Locke, and Warden Eternal that is not always heard during a playthrough. One way to ensure they deliver their hidden dialogue is to play the level without dying or without reverting to a prior checkpoint.
