There are several reversed messages in the Halo series, one in Halo 2, and three in Halo 3. | |||
== Destroyer's Invocation Message == | |||
In the [[Halo 2]] song ''Destroyer's Invocation'', (the first movement of the ''Mausoleum Suite'' on the [[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]), a mysterious voice chants. If this mumbling is reversed ([[Media:Reversed_message.ogg|listen]]), a voice is heard saying: | In the [[Halo 2]] song ''Destroyer's Invocation'', (the first movement of the ''Mausoleum Suite'' on the [[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]), a mysterious voice chants.

The voice can heard during the cutscene before [[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]], the level [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]] when you rescue the [[Marines]], and during [[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]] when you fight [[Tartarus]]. | |||
Recently, however, [[Marty O'Donnell]], in a post on the [[Halo.Bungie.Org]] forums, stated that he wondered "why the transcript (of the reversed message) is still wrong." This seems to indicate that changes must be made to the transcript before it is accurate. | Recently, however, [[Marty O'Donnell]], in a post on the [[Halo.Bungie.Org]] forums, stated that he wondered "why the transcript (of the reversed message) is still wrong."

There are many theories as to who the voice belong. The most plausible candidate is the Gravemind, however other possibilties include the Arbiter, a Prophet, Tartarus, Cortana, 032 Mendicant Bias, or even the Master Chief. | |||
== Black Tower Message == | |||
In the Halo 3 soundtrack During the first few minutes of the track "Black Tower" There is yet another message that can be heard if you reverse the song. Here is a transcript: | |||
:''I smote Death's dream kingdom, | :''I smote Death's dream kingdom, | ||

:''Trembling lips form prayers to broken stone.'' | :''Trembling lips form prayers to broken stone.'' | ||
== Gravemind/Dread Intrusion Message == | |||
Also in the Halo 3 soundtrack, a reversed message can be heard in the tracks 'Gravemind', and 'Dread Intrusion'. The entire message is currently unknown, however, several lines are intelligable. Oddly, the voice during these messages sounds different from Gravemind. It echoes considerably, rendering several lines unknown, it is much deeper in pitch, and multiple other voices can be heard. | |||
:''Side by side, we march as one, | |||
:''[unintelligable]'' | |||
:''The Earth shall fall if we strike together, | |||
:''[unintelligable] (it is the same as the other unknown line, however)'' | |||
Exactly who is speaking in this message is unknown. Just like the 'Destroyer's Invocation Message', there are many possibilities about who it could be. Several likely candidates are the Gravemind, and 032 Mendicant Bias. | |||
