Level 43: "Not A Natural Formation"

(Originally created by me; majorly revised by Don-Martin Antell. The original title for this level was "These Caves Can't Be A Natural Formation", a line Cortana speaks in the original Halo game when entering an obviously artificial underground installation on Halo. My idea for the design of the Sphere installation was that its inner surface would be almost entirely a beautiful, "natural" park, dotted with pleasant little courtyards, and that all artificial structures and buildings would be built "underground" in the shell of the Sphere. These would be accessed by descending into natural-looking caves which eventually gave way to more clearly artificial passageways. That design is still evident in the levels here in Chapter 5; but the title of this map had to be shortened because it didn't fit into the Level Select dialogue box.)

You teleport in on top of a hillside, and make your way down a windy path to an outdoor courtyard, while Headless and Nightmares attack you. Opposite the courtyard is a safe room with a terminal in it:

[L43-T0-Unfinished]

Near this room is an elevator leading to a switch which activates another nearby elevator leading to an underground portion of this facility. After activating a series of switches, all the while battling Headless and Nightmares, you manage to enter the Watcher's core.

[L43-T1-Unfinished]

Upon inserting the chip, the Watcher briefs you on your next mission:

[L44-T1-Finished]

You teleport out to Level 44: "Deep Into The Grotto".
