The second trio of levels in Halo 5: Guardians has 21 mission intel up for grabs. Meridian Station is the first combat-free level and contains eight intel, Unconfirmed has seven, and Evacuation has six. These latter two levels also feature a skull each, so make sure to grab those when safe to do so.

Halo 5: Guardians Intel Location Guides

Collectibles in the game can be found throughout the entirety of the campaign, not just missions four through six. If you’re looking to clean up some missed collectibles in other levels, look no further than our other guides.

If you’re looking to just do clean-up, you can check to see what mission intel you have collected already by loading into a level and then clicking “Mission Intel” in the pause menu. All intel have unique names and will be listed through the guide, so you can simply skip the ones you have already found.

Meridian Station

Settler Personal Log, ID 0091

Meridian Station features eight intel, all very close to each other. Advance up the hill until you reach the large gate. Look right from the gate in the corner, and on top of a barrel is the first data pad.

Now go to the left side of the gate. Jump up to the ledge and grapple it to pull yourself up. Sitting on a box to your right will be the second data pad.

Laser Operator’s Personal Log

From where you are after getting the last intel, head straight towards the building with yellow silo on the roof, and use the boxes to climb your way up top. On a crate to the right of the silo will be the third data pad.

Meridian: Speculative Overview

Walk straight and sprint-jump over the alleyway below. Follow the stairs up and take a left. Climb up to the top of the big white silo in front of you to find the data pad.

Excavation Team Personal Log

From the top of the silo, jump down and run in the direction that Spartan Locke is facing below. Sitting on top of a blue trash can to the left of a chair will be the data pad.

Deglass Team Personal Log

Turn around and run back in the direction of the silo you just jumped from. Walk around to the back of it, into the alleyway beneath it. Underneath the red “Food Station” sign will be the sixth data pad sitting on a box.

Settler Personal Log ID 4259

You’re going to want to climb up the building to your immediate right, across the road. the building has a blue screen that reads “Liang Dorthund Temporary Medical Unit.” Climb up the entrance to the right, then go left and climb on top of the large cylindrical structure to find the data pad on a box.

Head in the direction that Spartan Locke is facing in the picture below. By this gate, on top of yet another crate will be the final data pad.

Unconfirmed

The History of Meridian 3/6

Unconfirmed has seven intel waiting to be collected, with the first being attainable in the very first area. From where you drop in, go forward and wrap left around the large structure to your immediate left. In the corner ahead of you, amongst some rocks will be the radio.

Message From Apogee Station 1/3

Advance into the building until you reach the room pictured below, which should be very shortly.

Instead of going up the stairs to the next area, climb up to the platform to the right and go down the stairs in front of you, underneath the screen pictured below. Take a left to find the data pad sitting on a chair.

Drill Operator’s Personal Log 2/2

Once you reach the point of the level pictured below, head up the ramp and climb up the yellow crate in the back corner.

Jump up to the platform to your right and head to the back right corner of this platform to find the data pad sitting on a chair.

Drill Operator’s Personal Log 1/2

Once you reach the area pictured below, clear out the enemies then head up the staircases on the left side.

Jump over to the top of the large ship, then run along top to the back of it to find the data pad.

Message From Apogee Station 2/3

You’ll eventually come to a large door, pictured below. Instead of going through it, charge through the ventilation duct to the left in the building before the door, to find the data pad in a small room.

The History of Meridian 4/6

Continue forward until you reach the cave area below. Head to the right side of the room and climb up the rightmost pipe.

At the top, jump up to the orange ledge to your right and the radio will be in the back left corner of this platform.

Message From Apogee Station 3/3

At the end of the level, you will reach a large open area pictured below. Follow the left staircase up to the back corner of the room to find the final piece of intel sitting on a box.

Evacuation

Offworld Message 1/3

The first of Evacuation’s six intel can be found once you reach the area below.

Head to the back right corner and climb the stairs to find the intel on the middle of the platform.

The History of Meridian 5/6

After a pretty extensive fight sequence, you will end up indoors in the building pictured here. Instead of going forward, climb up to the right and go up the stairs.

Climb up to the upper platform, then jump to the top walkway on the right to find the radio.

In the same room as the previous intel, head to the left side of the entrance. The intel is up where it says “Offload A” in the upper corner of the room.

Take the elevator directly underneath the “Offload A” to reach it. The radio will be buried in the corner.

Offworld Message 3/3

In the room immediately succeeding the previous two intel, after you clear out all of the enemies, look for the small building with the blue exterior, pictured below. If you entered the room at 6 o’clock, the building is at 8 o’clock.

Charge through the destructible wall and you will find the data pad sitting on a charge in the back left corner.

Offworld Message 2/3

After the excruciatingly long elevator sequence, you will need to exit through the emergency exit. Once you reach the point below, instead of climbing up the crates ahead of you, go left and follow the walkway around.

Continue along the walkway until you reach the point pictured. Here, hop the railing to the far platform to find the intel.

Public Update: Glass

After grabbing the last intel, make your way up the building until you reach the point pictured below. Instead of climbing up the ramp in front of you, turn around and jump to the farther, broken one.

Climb up to the top of it, then jump to the vent between the two pillars in front of you.

Turn right and the level’s final data pad will be sitting right there for you.
