'''The Oracle''' is a ''[[Halo 2]]'' [[campaign]] level, where the player plays as [[Thel 'Vadamee]]. Starting directly after you land the [[Banshee]] you were flying in the [[The Arbiter (Level)|previous level]], the opening cutscene has [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] comment on smelling a familiar [[Flood|stench]]. You will again have Specops Elites and Grunts as allies and possibly an [[Ultra Grunt]].

This is the first level in Halo 2 where you encounter the [[Flood]] and some of their new abilities, most notably the ability of [[Infection Form]]s to revive fallen [[Combat Form]]s.

The player goes down an elevator and up to the top of the [[Gas Mine]] to cut three cables. He or she then must backtrack to the hangar of the previous structure, complete with another Banshee-flying section, where he engages in combat with the [[Heretic Leader]] to prevent him escaping [[Threshold]] in a [[Seraph]]. In the cutscene directly before the fight, it is shown that [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] had survived the destruction of [[Installation 04]] and was responsible for the "heresy" through his teachings.

*When [[Sesa 'Refumee]] runs for the shield door, get an Energy Sword and keep lunge attacking him. You can get into the shielded room this way but as soon as the room seals, you will die.

*If the weapon the player uses to shoot at the Heretic Leader's Banshee has no rounds or charge, the Arbiter will only shoot once in the cut-scene.
*In co-op, play until the Arbiter says he's going to cut the cable. Move up to the elevator and have one person go up it. Right before the loading scene have the other player push the button to bring it back down. If done correctly, you will be standing on the elevator platform and you'll be outside. NOTE: there is no way to escape so you must restart from checkpoint if you wish to continue.

*In the cut scene where the Arbiter crashes his banshee to get up on the platform, you will sometimes see the Arbiter floating on the edge of platform for a fraction of a second before you see him climbing on the platform.

*When you fight the [[Sesa 'Refumee|Heretic Leader]] at the end of the level, there are various weapons hidden around the second floor of the hanger, including a sword behind the elevator.
*Also, when you cut the cables, the [[Flood]] will stop what they're doing and look up, as if they are wondering what just happened. The [[Sentinels]] will do the same.{{fact}}
*When you cut all 3 cables, run straight to the elevator shaft and start jumping, when the station falls and everyone floats for a few seconds, you suddenly fly out of the station. You will die, but it is amusing to watch on camera.

*Also when you cut the cables, when you jump to float in the air, you will see broken parts of the facility in the sky floating and getting blown away.

*If you have some trouble finding the ''real'' Heretic Leader in the fight, he'll fly a little bit higher then the holograms (when you are on the bottom level of the hangar). If you have a sword, use the lunge technique. If you hear him moan on the first hit, keep your eyes on that one, and hit him again. Hit him twice like that, and its over.
*Another easy method to kill the heretic leader is that when, as soon as the cutscene ends, activate your camouflage and, if you have an energy sword, approach the hetetic leader in the half, and when the aim is red, kill him. That resuslts in a very profitable way, saving you a lot of trouble in the legendary difficulty, and killing the heretic leader from 5 to 15 seconds.
*If you kill all of the enemies then ride the elevator up to the cable, cut it. Then in the room where [[Sesa 'Refumee]] was hiding you can find a [[Heretic Elite]] with a Needler fighting the [[Flood]].

*In the room with the Heretic hologram, you can jump back on to the second level (out of the way of the Flood). To do this you need to jump onto a little ledge on the side of the pillars near the corners of the elevated walkways. From there, crouch-jump onto the walkways. Be careful not to fall through the glass when you jump up. Just stay up there and let ‘Vadumee fight the flood and take out the stragglers.
