The Final Grunt, also referred to as the Jerk Store Grunt or Seinfeld Grunt, is a Special Dialogue Grunt in Halo 3. He is the last Grunt players can find in the game.

Walkthrough

This Grunt is found cowering on the edge of a cliff right before the player goes down the ramp to leap into the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn's hangar in the level Halo in Halo 3. As you reach a white rock arch, turn the vehicle slowly to the right and a narrow pathway will be visible. At the end of the pathway is the Grunt. If you approach him, he will say:

Hey, Demon! The jerk store called, and they're all out of you! Poor you, stolen at the age of six and conscripted into the military, waaaaaah! Okay look, if you let me live, I got the Fist of Rukt. Look, I'll be at the bottom. I'll polish your boots. I'll polish your helmet! It's the gas, haha! When I'm on the gas, I don't know what I'm doing half the time!

On single player, the Arbiter will fire the Warthog's chaingun at the Final Grunt, preventing you from hearing him speak. You should park the Warthog somewhere where he cannot see the Grunt before you go up to the Grunt.

Encountering the Final Grunt may make you unable to complete the end of the level as the platforms will have broken apart, leaving no possible route to reach the Forward Unto Dawn.

Trivia

• The "Jerk Store" is a reference to a joke on the American sitcom Seinfeld, in which George, one of the four main characters, tries and fails to make a witty comeback at a fellow coworker.
• The Fist of Rukt is the Gravity Hammer used by Brute Chieftains such as Tartarus.
• With the IWHBYD Skull activated, players can hear normal Grunts say part of the dialog on other levels.
• If the Final Grunt is killed while saying his dialogue, his dead body will carry on speaking. If he is knocked off the edge, you will stop hearing him.
• The Final Grunt is the only Covenant enemy the player can encounter on the level Halo.
• The Final Grunt has the longest quote out of all three Special Dialogue Grunts.
