The Maw is the tenth mission in Halo: Combat Evolved. There is one Skull and one Terminal to find.

The mission starts with a cutscene of the Pillar of Autumn and you flying in on the Banshee you stole from the Covenant ship at the end of the last level. Master Chief likes giving Cortana a hard time and ejects from the Banshee at the last possible moment to jump into an opening as the Banshee crashes into the hull of the ship below.

Move out and head towards the bridge as directed by Cortana. You'll have to use maintenance passages to traverse some of the route. You encounter several Elites and a large group of Grunts in the cafeteria. A couple of these Grunts have fuel rod guns so watch your step. Grenades help a lot through here. Just past the and to the left is the bridge where we find more Grunts with fuel rod guns and get another cutscene. Cortana starts a countdown but the monitor stops it.

Now you have to manually blow the shields to the engine. Head out to the hall and move towards engineering by way of the cryo storage room per Cortana's direction.

The Maw Terminal: Once you arrive in the cryo storage room climb on of the ladders and use the elevated path to get the control room for cryo. In here you'll see a panel lit up with an "incoming message."

Move out following the passageways to the left, killing as you go. You'll have to fight your way past a pair of Hunters to get to a crossroads leading to Engineering and the Armory. Go to the armory first and resupply. I suggest the shotgun and rocket launcher for this next section. Now go back towards Engineering.

Light Fuse, Run Away

Keep walking and take the right passage into the engineering room. Pass through the door and go up the ramp on the right. There are health packs aplenty on the sides of the large panels up here as well as on the other side of the room. Follow the path up to the third floor as Cortana tells you that you'll have to detonate the ships fusion reactors to blow the ring and that she has full access to reactor schematics and procedures.

Up on the top floor you'll find four control panels each of which pull back the power coupling and allows direct access to what needs blowing up. Step up to the each in turn and press X to activate. Then immediately jump down to the coupling as it pulls away, turn around and shoot the reactor opening, ride the coupling back to the platform and jump up. Once all four have been activated, you must find the elevator up on the third floor. The passage to it is through the door directly across from the door to get to the third floor. Move on through till you see an elevator come down with a group of Covenant on it. This is your elevator so take them out and get on. As the elevator goes up, Cortana calls for a pelican to pick you up once you get topside.

Warning: Hitchhikers May Be Escaping Convicts

You now have only six minutes to escape the ship before it explodes and the timer shows at the bottom of your screen. Hop in a warthog and head out as quick as you can. Generally, try to stay in the warthog as much as possible getting back in as quickly as you can if you get ejected.

Grunt Birthday Party Skull: Once you reach the pickup location drive the warthog to the forward right pillar getting as close as you can. Get out and jump onto the front of the warthog then jump up onto the pillar and follow it to where it meets the far wall where you'll find the skull.

While getting the skull, you'll hear that your ride isn't going to make it so hop back into your warthog as fast as you can and press on (you'll need about 2 minutes left to get there in time) to the Longsword still docked. A little further up Cortana will tell you there is a gap in the road ahead so keep it straight and go as fast as you can to make the jump.

Once you land the path is blocked by containers so get out and run the final 100 yards or so to the ship. As you approach you get a cutscene of you taking off and ... well I won't spoil the ending. Congratulations, you've now beaten the game!
