''Epilogue'' (1:03) begins with two reprises of the opening string melody of ''[[Impend]]'' (itself a ~~reorchestration~~ of the ending to ''[[Brothers in Arms]]''). The second reprise features an electric guitar part played by American musician [[wikipedia:John Mayer|John Mayer]], but his involvement was kept a secret by Martin O'Donnell until the [[2014]] documentary ''[[Remaking the Legend]]''. According to O'Donnell, there was no contractual agreement between the parties, and neither Microsoft nor Mayer's agent were aware of his contribution. Mayer wanted to keep it a secret so he could tell his friends he was featured in the game. This piece plays first in the [[Halo 2 credits|ending credits]] in ''[[Halo 2]]''.
