Elephant flipping: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:46, July 3, 2009

Although the Elephant is the only indestructible human land vehicle in Halo 3, it is possible to flip an Elephant over, unlocking an interesting and somewhat funny Easter Egg. The Easter Egg will say,"Press RB to flip......wait, what? How did you do that?"

Methods of Elephant Flipping

The Fusion Coil Method set up

Gravity Lift Method

The easiest way to flip an Elephant is to spawn a closed Drop Pod in the cockpit and throw down a Gravity Lift right near it.

Fusion Coil Method

Firstly, go into Forge mode and put all the Fusion Coils and Plasma Batteries on the back of the Elephant. Set the Plasma Batteries and Fusion Coils settings so every number is the highest possible. Then stand back and shoot one of the Fusion Coils and wait until the Elephant lands. An alternative method is to go into Forge mode and drive the Elephant, parking it in such a way that there is a lot of room to one side. Place about ten Fusion Coils or Plasma Batteries at the opposite side in the gap between the treads. Set the run time minimum of the explosives to the same number as placed on map. Shoot the explosives, and the Elephant will flip to one side.

Run Over Method

Another way of flipping an Elephant is to drive one towards and partially over the other, then get out and drive the other one forward until it flips it over.

Forge and Drop Pod

Go into Forge and place a drop pod. Take the drop pod and put it inside the cockpit and fly up. The Elephant will either fly up in the air, or the drop pod will slip out and you will have to do this again.

Scorpion Tank Method

This method also requires you to use Forge; a Scorpion can be used to move the Elephant (but only if you are carrying it in Monitor Mode) if you continually ram the Elephant with the Scorpion it should eventually flip. You can also wedge the Scorpion inside the Elephant and then rotate it until the entire thing is upside down. You can then sell the Scorpion and the Elephant will drop on its top.

Random Glitch (NO FORGE) Method

<video name="Halo_3_Glitch_-_Super_Elephant_Flip" width="200" align="right"/> You DO NOT need Forge for this method. Sometimes in matchmaking or large custom games, the elephant will begin to sink into the ground for some reason. When objects begin to sink in the ground, they will be forced back out. The reason why they sink is most likely caused by lag. In the case of the elephant, when it sinks too much, it will be shot out of the ground and the elephant will be sent flying. Usually it isn't sent too high. But in cases of extreme lag, it can be shot all the way across the map. In most cases, the elephant will simply do a barrel roll and land upside down which will give you the hidden elephant message.

 This method also requires you to use [[Forge]]; a [[Scorpion]] can be used to move the [[Elephant]] (but only if you are carrying it in Monitor Mode) if you continually ram the Elephant with the Scorpion it should eventually flip. You can also wedge the Scorpion inside the Elephant and then rotate it until the entire thing is upside down. You can then sell the Scorpion and the Elephant will drop on its top.
-=== Scorpion Tank Method 2 ===
-The other method requires you to use Forge; a Scorpion can also be used to flip the Elephant (but only if you are carrying it in Monitor Mode) if you place the Scorpion in the back of the Elephant upside down, you can keep flipping the Scorpion, which will eventually flip the Elephant, after the Elephant is flipped, you can delete the Scorpion, and get your Easter Egg.
