Halo Infinite - Legendary Ending Cutscene 

Sometimes I had to walk away from a boss fight

yeah i struggled a bit on normal, maybe im just bad but yeah the boss fights can be a pain

That last brute Chieftain made me rage so bad

@@tacohaloman just beat it on normal as well. I can't imagine the hunters on legendary..

@@tacohaloman lmao I wanted to cry , I spent so long and so much ammo putting in them :( ngl tho I did enjoy the new grunts voice lines 😂

@@ShoddyLegion I’ve seen clips, safe to say I’ll probably hold out for coop so I don’t go insane.

That's my guess, as forerunners as a whole were protective and not necessarily malicious at the end of there life

And apparently some control of time that's a nasty combination if so imagine a gravemind or keymind "seeing the future" or going back in time...

For my understanding though the flood are a constant they will never die from my understanding due to the corrupted precursors

The rings eliminate anything that the flood can infect, not the flood themselves. Once most life in the galaxy was wiped out the remaining flood starved to death except for the populations kept on the halo rings in some sort of stasis. Unless 343 retconned that too

@@supercuttlefish6199 Retconned way back in Halo 2. The Rings kill the Flood directly too, now. Anything with a nervous system, including Flood Forms, dies.

what exactly is offensive bias and who is valkorian?

@@ploopy45 To describe it very shortly, Offensive Bias is a forerunner AI built in the later part of the war against the flood to control the remaining Forerunner fleets and defenses against the onslaught of the flood. Very advanced and important AI. Valkorian is a character from Star Wars, but the guy is referencing the voice actor, who has a very deep intimidating voice.

BatChest OMG CHILLS!!!

@@ploopy45 Offensive Bias was the Forerunner AI that acted de facto as Supreme Commander of their forces during the final stages of the war with the Flood, and waged war against Mendicant Bias, the Flood-allied AI that you hear from in Halo 3's terminals.

That's the AI that helped the forerunners beat the original AI that got convinced by the flood that the forerunners destroyed the creators (the flood) its kinda crazy. Look up the lore.

One of the audio logs confirms it. I'd pay to see the look on Faber's face when he heard about that...

@@eliburry-schnepp6012 Faber? Imagine DIDACT hearing that the weapons that can destroy the Flood can't destroy the Endless. "Well, I suppose it's time to Compose the entire goddamn galaxy."

@@ihavetwofaces Yeah but Faber was so proud of the Halos, hearing that they werent perfect would break his high and mighty ego

But what are the Endless? Aren't the Flood endless?

@@ihavetwofaces The HALOs do not destroy the flood. Only their 'food'.

DUDE FR

I just took his hammer and beat the shit out of harbinger at the end there 😂

I killed it like 15 times because of a damn checkpoint. I died easily to the Harbinger and got sent back to kill the chieftain so many times

@@STUNTHEINSECT samee

BRO FRRRR

Who is that

@@_bobertaii6414 Offensive Bias is the Forerunner AI that held off the Flood long enough for the Halos to be fired. It's basically the Forerunners' counterpart to the Weapon, except about a million times scarier.

@@_bobertaii6414 The other guy did a good summary but a little bit more in depth is that He was like the weapon, in that he was created to defeat the original AI, Mendicant Bias, which fell victim to the logic plague while fighting the flood. Offensive Bias managed to fend off Mendicant Bias's fleet for the halo rings to fire and even after until it destroyed Mendicant Bias. Things basically OP AF

which means mendicant too

@@_bobertaii6414 the copy of mendicant bias who was the greatest AI to ever exist until he got hooked by the logic pelage which basically makes you side with the flood cus they are smart enough to make you see it there way, he helped them fight his creators, the forerunners and spurred the first firing of the halo rings as he was knocking on their las defense due to being such a strategic genius, just like in infinite how they made a lesser copy of Cortana with pieces missing, they did the same here, only the AI was named offensive bias due to his only goal being to hold off mendicant and the flood long enough to let the forerunners do their end all plan, mendicant is still around, on zeta actually but he saw how he was wrong and locked himself away doing very little elsewhere, however this is big because this means that mendicant is taking center stage somewhere outside of the novels and hidden lore, we thought that offensive was the AI that the covenant disabled because he disagreed with the prophets, but if he is still around that could lead to mendicant

it took me a lot of persistence and rage but i eventually got through it

I ram threw on legendary took 12 hours then beat it on easy is 4💀

This is after the firing of the rings tho, at this point if the endless were alive it became a threat to all life, if the endless can survive the rings then the flood are not rendered extinct

@@nicholasbrown668 that's 100% not the reason the forerunners did this to the endless, they straight up say it in this vid.

@@ipod4mode "If Halo cannot end them, it will Contain them" that quite literally implies they are receiving the same punishment as the flood, anything that survives the firing of the rings is a threat as it is a continuing food source for the flood, the flood dont die from the rings, they starve out

@@nicholasbrown668 he specifically mentions not allowing the endless to control time. Not allowing them to interfere with "their truth". This is in line with the forerunners getting butthurt over the idea of humans usurping the mantle of responsibility (see:didact). The forerunners cannot stand the idea of not being in control, not being gods. The games and books make this clear time and time again.

@@nicholasbrown668 I would also like to point out that the endless were not preserved on the ark to be reseeded after the halo array fired. The forerunners wanted to erase any evidence the endless ever existed

Yep, Offensive Bias, oh boy

Edict: "Offensive Bias has been deployed" Me: "OH SHIT." *goosebumps*

1 sentence somehow creates so much excitement in the inner lore nerd

Hopefully this takes us back to the flood, mendicants still out there isn't he

@@SyghtWoW heroic was so hhard and no reward like legendary

I agree, if I remember right, the normal cuts energy doesn't have the date at the bottom, only the legendary one. I think this implies that it's just the dialouge that's from that long ago.

@@TwistingStew69 he survived the explosion but didn't do so unscathed. Look at his face, half of it got melted off. I don't think he travelled back in time, he just went deeper into the prison of Zeta Halo.

Maybe. What if the Endless decide to betray him?

@@cainabel6356 Judging by his past actions, I'd say he'd fight them head on. Very likely winning at all costs. Considering he had the ability to bring the Covenant to their knees, which the UNSC didn't, and then fough the UNSC and brough THEM to their knees. Granted, the UNSC was already broken from Cortana, but he'd still crush them like everyone else. So if The Endless turn against him, he will wipe them out.

@@dschou2532 thank you

@@kestrelzer 👍

@@kestrelzer Remember how Cortana said something was helping her and Chief while they were on High Charity in Halo 2 and something was delaying the Forerunner ship from taking off? That was all Mendicant Bias. He also speaks to you through the terminals in Halo 3. He is the reason the Flood almost won, he spoke with the very last known Precursor and was only beaten by Offensive Bias who was made as his perfect rival and they're fight lasted all of like a millisecond after the Rings fired

How would that work? The Flood are the Precursors. The only way there are any Precursors still alive is if some of the dust got to another galaxy and didn't become corrupted like the ones left here. If the Endless end up being the Precursors then that's some major retconnning/revisionist bs

@@Freelancer837 I think it was only some of them that became the flood. I wouldn’t be surprised if the forerunners locked one away before the flood even came into existence

If the Endless really are the Precursors, it doesn't make sense why 343 would obscure it now, instead of just coming out with the truth to better connect the plot. The halo community knows all the species in the lore. My guess is this is some entirely new race that somehow was capable of surviving the Halo effect, Forerunners hid them from the galaxy, and apparently needed Offensive Bias to deal with them? Now we have Atriox whom we don't get why he wants to release them, he doesn't bow to anyone, defies everything, is his own man but he wants to unleash something that the Forerunners were more afraid of than the Flood? These are some serious questions that really could've been explained in a full game campaign or at least parts of it. Yeah future DLC bs I know lol but that's not an excuse for poor campaign writing imo.

@@dom7day Well I think the Atriox thing makes sense given the dialogue and the ending cutscene with chief and the weapon (Cortana I guess…). Since the endless can manipulate time to some extent, I have a feeling that Atriox is going to try to use them to bring back his homeworld. Long stretch, but given that this game is seemingly a soft directional reboot of where the franchise is going from here, I’ve been looking at most things as Chekhov Guns. Especially since the story has been more focused and narrowed, I figure any info they’ve given so far is going to be crucial.

Nah, the precursors are the flood and they are these flower things that Guilty Spark is going to reseed in a different galaxy to atone for the forerunners crimes against them. The Endless are a different thing.

Because the Harbinger or something within the auditorium if not the auditorium itself clearly has the ability to manipulate time to some extent (hence why chief gets thrown 3 days into the future) and why else would Atriox bother to help the harbinger repair the auditorium if there wasn't anything in it for him. You could be right and I honestly hope you are cause time travel is such a mess to write in stories but it definitely seems to imply something more is at play.

Theres no time travel. Its an ominous voiceover being used as a story telling device to shoe the danger of whats happening in the present. People are just retarded

@@dr._breens_beard It's not retarded to think that what's going on is taking place 97,000 BCE if the fucking game says it's zeta halo in 97,000 BCE. And since you're being so shitty to everyone who thinks it. Why the fuck does it say Zeta Halo. If they don't want us thinking that this is time travel.

Yes, because Cortana blew up his home world!

There's audio logs for the Banished that contain fragments of Forerunner conversation, it would seem the Endless are a race who somehow survived the Halo array firing, something that should be impossible, and the Forerunners pretended to come in peace before imprisoning them.

@@KingOfTheSoulSociety my guess is the time warp that helped chief escape is their power. Like how the harbinger could teleport around. Maybe the endless can control space and time - firing halo wont work on them because they can just wind the clock back and stop it - ie imprisoning them instead. Or maybe they can just go forward in time after halo destroys everything, ie theyd be the only species left to hold the mantle.

Considering how Atriox is kind of the Brute version of Master Chief, i can see a campaign where we play as him kind of like how we got to play as The Arbiter in Halo 2 (and 3, for co-op). Would really hype him up as Chief's true rival.

Then you would love Valkorion from swtor

Yep. I'm hoping that they'll tie into the Precursors and the Flood somehow though. We don't know much about them but I really hate the implication that there is ANYTHING in the Halo universe "worse than the Flood". That should never be a thing imo

Definitely, crossing my fingers for some convincing lore on why these guys are as dangerous as they're alluded to be, some form of precursor affiliation would probably make the most sense and be the most interesting concept for their place in the story, so here's hoping

@@Zee_Nine I think 343 are smart enough to pull something like that. For all their missteps, they've always been way better at integrating book lore into the games. It'd be a shame for all the lore-building around the Precursors in the Forerunner Saga to go to waste. The Harbinger and the Skimmers both have the insect-like physical features that we've seen in concept art and in-book descriptions of the Primordial and the Precursors. Everyone sees a link, and I doubt that's unintentional.

Xalanyn and the Endless are not the same species. The Xalanyn are the Harbingers species, who are aiding the Endless in returning. Mainly because the Cylix that the Harbinger is found in is of different shape then the Endless in the ending

@@valkyrion_ex1173 Technically, what they mean is that a species that can survive the Halo Array is a horrific thing and can't be released, as if the Flood got to them... Goodbye universe.

Nope proven wrong They introduced a totally new faction instead and tied up loose ends left by Halo 5 Shrug seems like they were going one way but then made hard turns with each of the last three games

so the halos where either made to end more than just the flood or the endless are the flood which doesn't really make sense.

@@lionsecho814 I was trying to reconcile the ending with existing lore but turns out they just smack on new lore It's really looking like they added time travel Damnit

@@lionsecho814 Halo's purpose is to destroy all sentient life. What are you so confused about? If the Endless can survive the firing of the Halos, this makes them an obvious problem to their Mantle of Responsibility doctrine, and their survivability is why the Forerunners imprisoned them. They want to learn their secrets. It all pretty much tells you the Endless = Primordials, and if that's true, then we already that the Flood are Primordials, so it means Endless = Primordial = Flood. So yeah, kinda makes sense to me.

The Endless are a separate species. One of the datapads reveals their actual name, and how Zeta Halo was positioned to receive diplomats and ambassadors from The Endless. The Harbinger is either an Endless herself or a servant of them. The reason they are a threat, is due to them surviving the Halo Rings. It could be due to their nervous system working differently, and thus the rings can't kill them. The Halos target the nervous system of sentient species, but doesn't disintegrate them. The Flood can infect anything biological, that has enough biomass by targeting the nervous system. Anything with an overly complex nervous system is harder to infect. The Endless might be completely immune to the Flood and thus, the Rings. Which is why they were a threat. They could've risen to galactic dominance, and threaten the Forerunners plan of Humanity reclaiming the Mantle. The Endless could also be a cure of sorts for the Flood, which is why they are being studied. So, detained for being a threat to the Forerunners plan. Studied for a potential cure to the Flood.

This is what I've gathered so far. It will be interesting to see how this will play out in the future.

The halos don't kill flood it kills their food supply.

@@thegoatking9506 that’s what I mean, it would be a problem if the food supply also was immune to the halos, which the endless are

people are saying that offensive bias was the ai helping the weapon during the harbinger fight, just like mendicant bias did in halo 3

@@thegoatking9506 the halo rings do kill the flood now. they changed that a long time ago

My thoughts exactly

Back in time to fight the flood with the forerunners and og cortana sounds fun. But why does chief even need to be there? Spin-off as a forerunner soldier, on the losing side like Halo Reach. I watched your playthrough but idk, feels like the story keeps changing directions. Three game arc is terrible. What is it? Rescue the princess? No she died off screen, the only interesting possibility- a fight to the death between star-crossed lovers. Nope. Theres good dialogue possible there- good drama, no forget it. Make it a brute youve killed a thousand times before. They couldve just added more and more crazy enemies- theres one new enemy in the game, and how many removed? No flood, no prometheans... were there scarabs or drones?

Always felt the prometheans were kinda trash anyway. However I do agree with a new character. Play from the side of ancient humanity as they fought against the flood and the forruners. I would fucking love this.

@@mrblexit7152 yeah! i forgot about the ancient humanity thing. in my head im thinking like, A dust cloud rolling over plains but its just a giant wall of flood flesh. about ten years ago there was a leak about halo 4; they wanted an open world thing utilising the cloud to have big battles going on in the distance, then it goes local when you get close and join it. The whole thing about the pelican and flying around and having saved weapons was from that leak too. That's what I really want- something techincally impossible haha

I just finished and boiiii am i disappointed, the fucking infinity destroyed by 4 rammy bois, THE MOST ADVANCED SHIP humanity ever built killed off screen like it was nothing, the like dozen of characters stories unanswered Lasky, buck, alpha 9, palmer, halsey etc all just either dead or elsewhere as ive heard, idk what they were thinking when they made this but for me it doesn't do the halo universe justice enough, its a good game just missing so much

@@W1NT3RS69 it's also a ten year game meaning we will get answers and most likely spin offs

I mean, Lasky and Palmer have been in two previous games, and if Aritox still being alive proves anything, it's that they don't like "killing" characters off-screen anymore. Plus I think they left it at an open ending for expansion.

Well locke might be dead since the brute spartan killer on the tower has his helmet and chestplate on his shoulder and the radio grunt talks about how he got it

Im sure we will at some point if the ten year plan also includes campaign.

Yeah it was great but not a lot happened. Felt like the first third of a story

dw just wait 2 years for them to release the rest in expansions for about $40 a pop

To be fair, the campaign is really only short if you spend most of your time just going for the next story mission. I was consistently trying to free FOBs, save squads, clear outposts, find spartan cores, etc. and I had a blast. The story itself is a bit shorter, but the overall gameplay time is through the roof. Consider how so many of the old Halo missions just had a lot of fighting on your way to story; that's the same here, but just diverted to the open world. All that said, I wish we'd seen a bit of a different landscape at times, and maybe some scarabs. Also some kind of wasp variant that had two passenger seats for marines, akin to the hornet, would have been amazing.

@@FrontwaysLarry I finished every single Open World Activity during my playthrough and the game still felt incredibly short. It's a lot due to the writing and pacing. The game feels like it ends at the beginning of the second act.

@@StabYourBrain I didn't even have a problem with the lenght of the game. The pacing was just a bit weird sometimes. When you start the mission where you enter the second spear, it' basically done. You feel like midgame and maybe didn't do a lot of open wolrd activieties yet. 4 long missions in a row and the game ends. They should have thrown you back into the open world at least after Esharum. Otherwise the gameplay is very separated between long story missions and long open world sessions, which can get repetitive.

On god i hope you’re playing🤣

The totally not evil speech of our boy Samuel Hayden.

His war paint is also gone.

A: They're adding that soon, Chill B: Find all the Datapad's, you'll learn where he is and why you cant regroup with him

@@DrakeHurley Its always "Added in soon" with 343 fucking hell

@@durpson would you have rathered the game is delayed another year, or worse never releases because 343 couldn’t financially handle another hypothetical delay?

@@DrakeHurley I cannot be fucked to find all of those, I hate collectibles. Can you give a run down?

@@finleymorris04 i would rather they release a whole game that is true to the franchise's roots, and not build an open world sandbox for them to Nickle and DLC the naïve modern fanbase off of for the next decade.

Actually, we wont be getting another halo game for another 10 years

@@Karma92008 yeah but it’s rumoured that infinite will have multiple campaigns

I personally hope the next dlc is free, cause this campaign was super short for 60 dollars and free multiplayer with no forge.

@@NameName2.0 the campaign as far as mission count and play time stacks up pretty evenly with the other campaigns though.

@@CatchiestDuke It really does seem that way considering how the ending didn't really feel like a "it's over" ending. I really fucking enjoyed it and it would be absolutely insane if the future campaigns take place in different maps as in the other pieces of the ring you see in the background!

How do you know it's Jeremy Irons?

@@broodybats5398 It’s him alright, listen to any of Jeremy Irons acting and you’ll know. I have a very good ear for accents and voices, I’m a impressionist myself.

@@broodybats5398 I just watched an interview with him. It’s definitely him. Holy shit. Scar is the Grand Edict

@@predamanger It's not Jeremy Irons. It's Darin de Paul, who voices Valkorion the Immortal Emperor in SWTOR.

I got the same feeling too. The outposts, FOB's to liberate, new weapons along the way. Felt like a mix of halo and destiny.

Hol up! Isn't Mendicant Bias a little...repentent,didn't he deliberately aid Chief during Halo 2 and send him some Data during Halo 3. Or were those Fragments of him, and some other Fragments might *not* be so repentent....

@@bjornthefellhanded5655 yes mendicant was broken into fragments and tried to right his wrongs by aiding chief in Halo 2 and 3. one of his fragments was on the key ship chief was on. so his theory is likely incorrect. Although its a cool theory.

@@bjornthefellhanded5655 Yes, Mendicant Bias acknowledged the error of his ways and did his best to aid the chief. A fun side note. Cortanas story now mirrors Mendicant Bias’. Betraying their creator for another only to realize so once they have been defeated and attempting to repent.

Jesus christ none of that rings a bell. I'm really gonna need to go back and replay the series.

@@hotrod232086 mendicant bias and offensive bias aren't in the games except for, iirc, the terminals they are in the books

Yeah like how in Halo Wars 2 flood dlc you play as banished officers.

@@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot3267 You reckon it’s worth playing? I’ve never played HW2.

@@LazyFaux5656 it sets up the entirety of halo infinite.

@@LazyFaux5656 if you like rts it's enjoyable. Not super hard and a lot of attention was given to balancing units.

Nope the VA is not Cory of DAI but Valkorian from SWTOR

Lol

That and her little human she obsessed over was supposedly dead

I mean the actual cortana died back in halo 4

It fits well with Halo though. If Atriox is alive that means he must have access to the Endless power, likely that Orb he used. Seems like the Endless are exactly what their name says, they transcend time. And if the Forerunners actually imprisoned them, perhaps they never should have had the mantle of responsibility in the first place? Maybe humanity now has to fight the Endless and show them that humanity deserves it now.

@@DanielCamargoTalks Guess we’ll just have to see if it’s well executed

I feel they are making way to the Primordials story arc. They are omnipotent and omnipresent if I'm not wrong.

What could possibly be worse than the flood? The Pre-cursors. It makes sense to me because "the silent auditorium" was used as a prison, courtroom and excution room all in one. What else did they judge but the pre-cursors for giving the mantle to humanity? Who else did they execute upon finding out humanity were given the mantle? Even The HArbingers dialogue alludes to this. I'm excited to see what comes next.

@@DanielCamargoTalks Doesn't fit Halo at all. Time travel stories are always a disaster when beings smarter and more powerful than humans have access to it.

LMAO

I feel like the endless were transcended living being but they were unaware of it. Could be they were somehow living in the star roads and came to real world as the star roads were distroyed after the Halo array firing. I feel this as the endless were totally unaware of what had happened and thought the Forerunners were coming to help. They also didnt knew anything about the flood and given how rampant it was in the galaxy for hundereds of years, it seems the flood can't affect the endless.

Could you imagine

That would be cool but super cheesy lol

@@ChadsYT i dont think you understand what "cheesy" actually is if you think thats an example of it

Like in RAAM's Shadow,that would be nice

@@manueldavidsernaramos1551 killing marines and Spartans would be harsh. Killing Cogs was easy because they would always get shit on in the campaign anyway lol
