=== ''Halo 2'' ===
Have one player (''Person A'') jump on top of the other player's (''Person B''<nowiki/>'s) head. ''Person A'' should repeatedly jump while standing on ''Person B''. ''Person B'' should, while looking up at ''Person A'' and holding an [[Energy Sword]], rapidly press '''X''' and '''B'''. The button combination uses a reload to "cancel" a sword [[lunge]] (''sword canceling''), allowing the lower player to "fly".

*It is wise to rest between consecutive attempts at butterflying tall structures. The repetition involved in the trick could tire out or strain a player's hands.

The ''Halo 3'' method is identical to the standard ''Halo 2'' method, save for the difference in buttons -- '''RB''' is used instead of '''X'''.
