Jason Jones in Easter Eggs
Gravemind
- Main article: Half-Naked Guy
On the Halo 2 level Gravemind, in the opening cutscene, Jason Jones can be seen wearing only a pair of gym shorts. To find him, one must start the level on Legendary. After the Gravemind's conversation with Master Chief and the Arbiter finishes, the camera fades in to High Charity. When it focuses on the crowd of Grunts. You can see him among the spectators there.
The Storm/Floodgate
- Main article: Missing Person Poster
He appears on a poster found at the end of the Halo 3 level The Storm, and at the beginning of Floodgate.
Halo
- Main article: Lonely Soul Easter Egg
He can also be seen when playing on the Halo 3 campaign level Halo, on Co-op, as well as in Theater, but the dark area makes it difficult. During gameplay, find the Terminal. After both players are at the room, look on the opposite side of the Terminal. You will see a large gap and a small section of floor on the other side. This is the place you need to go to see the egg. Have one player stand at the edge and the other on the first's head, and face the gap. Then both jump simultaneously forward. Player 2 should now be on the section of floor, and Player 1 should have died and re-spawned beside him. Then crouch jump on the next. Turn on your flashlight and look to your left, and there he is, standing on a small room with his usual shorts and his hands behind his head.
There are more pieces of floor after the two mentioned, and they are known to hide other secrets.
