You can then dismount and after about a minute of walking you will come across this poor soul, with his head planted firmly against a tree.

He can be found using a glitch whereby spamming the grenade button at the start of the mission 343 Guilty Spark will prompt Chief to forget to get out of the Pelican, allowing you to ride it outside the level boundaries until it lands in an indent. If you thought the insane screaming Marine that you find inside the Forerunner structure was bad enough, you are not prepared for this guy. Bungie didn’t hold back when it comes to secrets to hunt down in the Halo campaigns, and thanks to their love of all things mysterious and (at times) bizarre, Halo boasts a wide variety of really weird things to find if you take the time to look hard enough.
