'''The Truth and Reconciliation''' is the third campaign level in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] in which the Master Chief and a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] must rescue [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]], who is being held prisoner aboard the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ship, the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. After boarding the ship by using its [[Gravity Lift]], the Master Chief fights his way through the interior of the Covenant battlecruiser to rescue Captain Keyes and several other prisoners from the ship's brig. This is the first level in which [[Hunters]], [[Zealot]] Elites, and [[Stealth Elites]] are encountered.

*Right before you go into the valley where the Gravity Lift is, if you move fast enough the checkpoint will be reached before any of the Marines, Cortana will call for more men to be dropped while your Marines follow up behind you. If you've been careful you now have 10 marines to fight against the reaction force that is sent to deal with you. The same glitch can be performed when you first enter the hangar, meaning Echo 419 can say (scripted) “Roger Cortana, Echo 419 inbound” three times.

*In the brig where [[Captain Keyes]] is being held, you can actually kill him and the three [[Marines]] while the [[Energy Shields]] are still up just by aiming in a precise location while standing up against the shields. If you kill Keyes and the Marines and then activate the cutscene where Master Chief rescues them, then after the cut scene Keyes and the Marines will be there and turn against you and open fire.

*Before reaching the second level of the shuttle bay, there is a dead Grunt lying on the ground with a fully charged weapon and two grenades. If you walk out the door and walk back in, he will disappear.

===Mistakes===
===Mistakes===
*There was a bug earlier in the development of the game in which Keyes had AI behavior which was "taunt enemy corpse" and when he picked up a Needler, he would fire it into a dead Covenant soldier, which would explode and kill himself. This bug was described by [[Joseph Staten]] on the [[Halo 3]] Legendary Edition Bonus Disc.

*Somewhere within the hallways of the vessel, there is a small patch of [[Flood]] blood on the ground. This is odd as the Flood were not released until later in the game. There is only one patch, and it is the same sickly green as you encounter from [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]] onward.

*There was a level cut from the final game that necessitated the cutscene in which the Master Chief frees Captain Keyes and the marines. The level, in a more elegant way, described the theory about Halo. Joseph Staten explained this on the Halo 3 Legendary Edition Bonus Disc.

*The [[Gravity lift]] was created after the idea of a huge ramp leading into the ship was scrapped, as stated in the Halo 3 Legendary Edition Bonus Disc.

*This level may include the largest grenade jump possible. The jump includes four grenades and will skip the second floor completely. A video is here: [http://www.highspeedhalo.net/?time&id=9]; the jump occurs after about 13 minutes. A video is also available on youtube: [http://youtube.com/watch?v=gpnDWLe-vG4]; the jump is at around 2:47. This jump includes 3 plasma grenades and 1 [[frag]]. Three [[plasma grenades]] are thrown near the Overshield, each one is lower than the other. Then, a frag is thrown at the ground. Grab the Overshield before jumping, so no damage occurs.

*If you pay attention while searching for Captain Keyes throughout the level, you will find random groups of marines lying dead in the hallways of the ''Truth and Reconciliation''. This is odd considering that all the marines that were with Captain Keyes went to the brig with him and the only other marines to enter the ship were with the Master Chief. It is also possible that they were a reconnaissance force sent in before the strike team. It is reinforced by the fact that in [[Halo: The Flood]], it says that reconnaissance had confirmed Keyes was capture and there are also dead Elites below the ship and in the launch bay. However, it was also mentioned that Chief past several groups of dead marines when traveling through the ships corridors.

*The rescued [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and Keyes will often be very good at killing enemies. They fire more often and more accurately than normal marines.
*This is the only level in the entire game/trilogy that you start with a [[Sniper Rifle]] with a total of 64 bullets. When your ammo is less than 24 bullets and you collect ammo, you can only get up to 24 bullets like a normal sniper rifle.

A reason they probably gave you a sniper rifle with that much ammo is because the first half of the mission is sniping and they wanted players to get used to sniping.
*When you are just outside the bridge after rescuing Captain Keyes, it is possible that you sometimes can hear the Stealth Elites attacking and killing Sergeant Parker's squad.
