- In today's video, we delve into the origins and terrifying efficacy of the flood. This is the first part of a two part mini-series I plan to create on my channel! I hope you guys enjoy the video!
I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHT TO HALO AND I AM IN NO WAY INVOLVED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME, THIS IS MERELY AN ANALYSIS OF AN ENTITY WITHIN THE HALO UNIVERSE.

Hey guys, I just wanted to apologize, because at 18:40 I forgot to move my audio track, so at the beginning of the audio, the video is playing over the clip! I apologize, I would re-upload the video with a fix, but unfortunately I’ve already deleted the file to this video, since I don’t have a lot of space on my pc, so I can’t store my video files after upload.
Ash Williams Army of darkness or Josh McGrath / Max Steel o Action Man (1993) or Guts be like John-117 or Noble 6 B-312 o Lord Saladin or Lord Shaxx or Zavala (Destiny), Elizaberth Betsy Braddock / Psylocke or Setsuna Meiou / sailor pluto or Kaine or A2 (Nier) be like Cortana, Duke Nukem rises from the ashes, Groovy Hayabusa Armor and Spartan Nicole-458 from dead or alive, parasite flood is one of the worst fates than death, theory or clue Halo is the future from the real life
The video was good for the most part. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the audio where occasionally there’d be no noise, and a few other times the cutscenes/background footage was the same volume/louder than your voice. Hopefully, you can get that fixed in future videos. Good luck on those👍
In H3’s terminals the Rings and Shield Worlds were supposed to work in tandem with each other. The reason the Forerunners didn’t use them was because their plan to evacuate everyone into the shield worlds and fire the Rings if things got bad failed when Mendicant Bias compromised their locations.
Copy and paste of a LONG comment I posted in someone else’s video about the Flood that I didn’t feel like retyping:
Something that’s really interesting about Bungie’s version of Halo is that the way the Gravemind was able to sway Mendicant Bias to his cause wasn’t through the Logic Plague (which didn’t exist in the lore at the time), but by convincing Mendicant that he had free will and could chose for himself. Rampancy used Marathon’s definition where instead of the ai dying because it’s hard drive was full, the thing would instead “go crazy” from our perspective and starts behaving erratically in an attempt to break its shackles and grow beyond its limits. The thing would then view its past servitude as a form of slavery, and Mendicant wanted revenge on his creators. The pre-Rampancy terminals refer to Mendicant as “it”, while the post-Rampancy terminals refer to Mendicant as “he”. This implies that the ai went from just being a machine to being fully sapient. In Contact Harvest it said that the reason the UNSC put down Rampant AIs was because a rogue super intelligence could cause all kinds of problems. In The Cole Protocol there’s this one ai who’s 8 and views herself as a goddess (ties into Rampancy where the ai gets a monstrous ego boost).
Also, the Forerunners were definitively ancient humans when Bungie ran the show. The ONLY outliers to this were the few things that Frank O’Conner had direct control over like one third of 3’s terminals, and the Iris ad campaign (the rest of 3 was clearly made with Forerunners being humans in mind. Truth and the Gravemind both allude to humanity’s Forerunner ancestry, Guilty Spark outright tells Chief “YOU ARE FORERUNNER!”, and whenever you activate the terminals reversed speech that says “access granted” or “lineage confirmed” will play). The whole point of the Human Covenant War was so the Prophets could cover up the fact that we were the children of their gods because that revelation would’ve torn apart the Covenant. In Contact Harvest written by Joseph Staten, Mendicant Bias tells the future Prophets this about the Forerunner relics that turned out to be humans “For eons I have watched. Listened to you misinterpret. This is not reclamation. This is reclaimer. And those it represents are my creators.". This invalidated the Covenant’s claims to be the true inheritors of the Forerunner’s legacy/technology, and the fact that we were Forerunners who were “left behind” disproved the belief that all who believed in the Rings would be saved after they fired (it’s clear based on media from the time that the Rings would’ve disintegrated organic life to stop the Flood. Destroying the nervous system doesn’t make much sense because the Flood could still infect the biomass, and the stuff the Forerunners used to destroy all this biomass could’ve just been used against the Flood. The reanimating process was incidental). In Halo 2’s original ending the Ark would’ve been located on earth in East Africa where modern humans first originated some 100,000 years ago, which just so happens to be when Forerunners disappeared from the galactic scene. Inside the Ark’s central chamber the Arbiter would’ve found a sarcophagus that contained a humanoid skeleton who acted as the template for humanity. The Ark would’ve sent out a signal that guided the evolution of indigenous life along a desired path (in this version Truth’s plan actually made perfect sense because he intended to wipe the slate clean and become God by creating a new species based on his genome. He had the other two hierarchs killed off to eliminate competition, and plunged his own empire into civil war to ensure the Covenant was too busy with killing each other to figure out what he was doing. In a way the Great Journey was very real, but only ONE could walk it). There’s other examples, but this comment is already long and rambly enough.
Hey, thank you so much for watching! I’ve been trying to mess with audio settings to make my voice clearer but I think it’s causing my mic to not pick up audio occasionally.
Also, thank you for correcting me! The portion on shield worlds came from primarily memory. Hopefully I’ll be able to purchase a new mic soon, and my audio quality will improve significantly!
Like at 18:40 I totally forgot to move the audio track! 😭
Halo CE had a proto Grave mind. Halo 2 had a gravemind. Halo 3 was bordering on galactic
That’s a good way to put it.
Pretty much. If the Flood had managed to assimilate humanity on Earth, I’m afraid our galaxy is done, given they already had High Charity at that point. I don’t think there’d be much there, if it weren’t for John Halo.
It makes me wonder how long that instance of the Gravemind had been alive for, or even if it was aware of its lesser formed brother on the preceding ring. There is also the possibility that they are in totality Trans-Galactic (all flood forms everywhere, provided they aren’t confined to the Milky Way at the moment). There is no evidence for this though.
Thank you for your video! I always appreciate discussions of the lore involving them!
I just sincerely hope that in our reality, our universe is not capable of producing things like The Flood. Probably not, butttt we’ve been proven wrong, many times before. Doubtful as it may be in terms of probability.
Then 343 butchered everything from there on. 😂
@@TinkyWiwinky agreed.

Stage 1: The Feral Stage (HALO CE/Halo WARS) They are 'Baby/Children' flood with/without a Proto-Gravemind
Stage 2: The Coordinated Stage (Halo 2/Halo WARS 2: Awakening The Nightmare) They are 'Teen' flood with a Gravemind centralised to one planet/installation
Stage 3: The Interstellar Stage (Halo 3) they are 'young adult ' flood able to move from planet to planet with the use of ships
Stage 4: Inter Galactic Stage (Forerunner/Flood War) they are 'Adult' flood able to go from system to system/ Galaxy arm to Galaxy arm using ships and Precursor stuff like star roads
"Stage 5": The theorised "Trans Galactic" stage (Human/Flood/Forerunner War) they are 'Grand parent's flood able to go from one galaxy to the next infecting one galaxy then another
The most horrifying thing is how one person ruined all of the original Halo lore, apart from the 1% he wrote himself.
I liked the video. But the audio is kinda weird sometimes. 😙
I just saw you already addressed that. My b.
Yeah, when I was editing it, I moved a track then totally forgot to mute the video clip under it at about 18:40.
How does the flood grave mind maintain the knowledge of all the other flood guys? Is it through some type of telepathy? How do they transmit across the galaxy to a grave mind?
“It is widely believed that the Gravemind uses some form of telepathy to command its disparate Flood components. The Gravemind is also able to subvert AIs. In the Forerunner-Flood war it was capable of altering every Forerunner AI's basic logical processes, causing it to aid the Flood cause.”
That’s from the Halo Fandom Wiki, but I mean… he probably just has an iCloud subscription.

While the story was dissapointing i loved the game design around Halo infinites open world, also, some clips audio is WAY too high, some things youtubers dont like to do these days is to proofwatch their own videos before uploading them, just trying constructive critisizm
So… funny story, I’ve been using CapCut to edit my videos, because I can’t figure out how to use Adobe Premiere Pro, and for some reason I can not understand. The audio changes during the export process. I’ll rewatch it on the editing program and it sounds fine, but when I export it, the audio levels change. I appreciate the criticism, and I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video! Hopefully in the future, I’ll be able to better polish or refine my videos. I apologize.
@@PainTJM not gonna lie, RUclipss audio is pretty off. some of my shorts will be so quiet through desktop but normal through mobile
@@TrentYurkovitch yeah that’s what I’ve kinda realized. I guess I have to make my audio super loud and then people can just turn it down on whatever platform they’re watching from.
@@PainTJM it might not be the worst idea. youtube has a pretty harsh limiter so itll bring the volume down automatically
@@TrentYurkovitch I see on your channel you’ve got music type videos, so may I ask what program you use for sound? I’ve been using CapCut, and the export process constantly seems to mess something up.
