*On the second elevator you ride, get it just high enough to where you can walk under it. Once under, it will start to go back up, jump into the blue light that represents a gravity lift, you will fall to your death but at the bottom you will see a spinning [[Monitor]] who will even talk. You can also do this while [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] is on another part of the level, at the time.

*It's believed that the body of [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Marvin Mobuto]] from ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' could be found lying around within the level. One of the only known ways to tell if you have found his body is if you manage to find a human infected [[Flood]] that's already dead. He was said to have survived fighting his way to the [[Index]], but once he came in range of it, he was thrashed and mangled by the Flood. Hunting for his body could also help make the level a bit more interesting to play. One of the bodies rumored to be his can be found down the corridor after [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] opens the first blast door. The second rumored body can be found at the second blaster door, right after "Wait, It Gets Worse!" by a [[health pack]] and two [[fragmentation grenades]]. The third rumored body can be found at the 4th or 5th blast door. The fourth rumored body can be found in the trench after the 7th door. The last rumored body can be found at further down the corridor after the door to the [[Index]] that can be found with a trail of Flood and some [[Human]] blood and an [[Assault Rifle]] with one round in it.

*The blueish lighted windows seen throughout the level are rumored to be used to access the data archived by the [[Librarian]] although this has never been seen in any of the games thus far. In addition, they are described as "glowing blue monitors" in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]''.

*It should also be noted that this is one of the least popular levels in the Halo series. Many players find the layout confusing and repetitive. Also, as the only adversary in this level is the Flood, some players are thrown off by the dramatic changes in challenges, rhythm, and tactics in the level. After so much negative feedback, Bungie made the Library segment much shorter in its ''[[Halo 2]]'' counterpart, [[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]]. However, some players like this level due to its difficulty and see it as a challenge. It is also very similar to the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level [[Cortana (Level)|Cortana]].
