Hey IGN, Kudos for bringing Halo Canon on to provide this breakdown, no offense to you guys specifically, but its always nice to hear from the "experts" on this kind of thing!
Zeta Halo also has some flood connections too. hopefully we will see story expansions on both the flood (the banished being dumb and unlocking containment... a throwback to H1) and the Endless will definitely need their own story
And it seems that Offensive Bias was helping The Weapon. She says "someone is helping me" when you are fighting the harbinger...and in the after credits Despondent pyre says that she cant take care of the endless alone..and the forerunner says: "Offensive bias has been deployed".
Clearly Atriox's interest in "The Endless" is their ability to survive a Halo firing, smart money he wants to know how he can do this himself. So after he cleanses the universe using Halo, he won't be affected.
Based on the conversation it means to me that the endless were close to figuring out how to control time. So atriox probably wants to know how. Controlling time to me would be more power then having control over the rings.
@@dnegel9546 So time-control or Immortality, seems like Immortality is better. Since controlling time doesn't mean you can't die and with Immortality, time becomes irrelevant.
@@5Ci0N bro what he literally just told you. And we literally saw them fight. Chief got beat BAD. chief himself even tells the weapon that atriox beat him. Why are you trolling?
@@ChrisSmooth24 just seems wierd y'all are saying it was a match when we only got to see the end of it. It's the equivalent of just seeing Iron Man snapping his fingers in Endgame, and nothing that led up to it.
343 are bringing the lore in full circle now. I'm pretty sure the Endless are Precursors who didn't become Flood. There is No time travel. Atriox did not time travel. And the Endless don't time travel either. Their surviving the Halo array could be down to similar what Librarian did to Chief in making him immune to being composed by the Composer.
@@alltheclevernamesweretaken5294 that's not tome traveling. If you read the novels Halsey had a forerunner artifact that can bend space and time, so that Chief came back from Halo -Alpha 04 to Reach to save them but its not time travelling.
Also, The Endless are not precursor, they maybe creations of Precursor like all sentient beings but it makes no sense for them to be given all precursor creations have been Neural-Physics based. That's why the Halo's were able to stop the flood, and the Starroads.
@@alltheclevernamesweretaken5294 To me, time travel would involve backwards and forwards direction thru time. What the Chief experiences is "time"/"distance" adjustments, but only in the forward direction thru time. Hopefully this explanation makes some sense.
THANK YOU for correcting the record (so to speak) that Unlocked muddled on IGN!!! Atriox did NOT time travel (period)!!! The ancient time stamp is the KEY (IF time travel occurred then that ancient time stamp, not the audio, HAS TO be conveyed to ALL player difficulties and not just locked behind the Legendary ending...OTHERWISE you'll have some players going into future story DLC thinking Atriox was in the current day while Legendary players think he was in the ancient past)! The ancient time stamp is just part of the audio file playing, just some context for when the audio took place and nothing more (its playing, only on Legendary, as we see Atriox working in the CURRENT timeline seemingly undoing the Endless imprisonment that the Forerunners did sooo very long ago...the same imprisonment that the ancient audio log is referencing)! Think about it, IF Atriox frees the Endless in the past THEN that would alter ALL of Halo history...like the ENTIRE Halo canon would be altered, what we just played through would be invalidated, paradoxes galore (so many paradoxes that the entire story canon would unravel into a BIG mess)!
You say all of this while blatantly ignoring that Chief and Weapon disappeared for three days with no trace after entering the Silent Auditorium. Just because one ending gets more details doesn’t mean that there’s gonna be four different stories running, one for each difficulty. It’s never been that way. Legendary ending of Halo CE had Johnson hugging an elite in the blast radius of the Pillar of Autumn. He died there but he ends up surviving through to Halo 3? Funny how that works huh.
@@xbris117 Time travel forward is a very different concept than time travel backwards, we have forward time travel today, in real life, time moves at different paces depending on speed through spacetime and the strength of the gravity well your nearest too.
What do you mean it wasn't about time travel? Master Chief and the weapon literally disappeared for 3 days at the end of the game there was literally three days of lost time so they must have time traveled in some way right
Is it just me, but has anyone else noticed the numbers for each of the monitors of the Halo rings are a multiple of 7? 343 Guilty Spark is 7^3 or seven to the power of three (for math nerds). 2401 Penitent Tangent is 7^4. *117*649 Despondent Pyre is 7^6. Seems the folks at Bungie/343i have a fascination with exponents!
What we're missing is the added context of the conversation between Despondent Pyre & the Grand Edict over the after-credits ending we saw on Normal & Heroic.
Offensive bias was uploaded to Atriox before he fought Master Chief... It's the way Chief describes their battle, as if Atriox had an A.I. He describes Atriox battle proficiency in the same way the Cortana A.I. was meant to upgrade his own combat effectiveness.
Actually, the ring didn't exploded, Cortana only damaged by dissamsembling part of the ring, but (somehow) Zeta Halo was transported into another location
You sure that Atriox is the Atriox of the present? What if that Atriox is a past Atriox. Weapon said something about a signal was very old. You cannot emit an old signal but you can receive an old signal.
@@dom4591 same here. This was by far the easiest legendary halo ever.... By a very long shot. Tho the boss battles did remind me of other halo legendary difficulty.
But if it can't kill the flood and it can't kill the endless but the flood are remnants of the precursors so it can be said that the Endless are Precursors but just like the Flood they are no longer what they use to be but something else
Pretty sure Master Chief will time travel back to fight the endless and atriox And UNSC/ONI not knowing about this , might think master Chief is dead .
Atriox did NOT time travel (period)...therefore NO battle in the past will be necessary or happen!!! The ancient time stamp is the KEY (IF time travel occurred then that ancient time stamp, not the audio, HAS TO be conveyed to ALL player difficulties and not just locked behind the Legendary ending...OTHERWISE you'll have some players going into future story DLC thinking Atriox was in the current day while Legendary players think he was in the ancient past)!

Really? You had to rush to make a video spoiling the story already, the game has barely been out a week. Why don't you start doing this with movies also? Clowns
Getting the achievement for finishing campaign had me thinking. 5% that is percentage of people who finished it. Its a damn shame. What a great journey up till last few hours seem stretched out. Why pad something for such a small percentage of players. They really could have cut a lot out of the game and it still would be worth gamepass price, also getting players back to multiplayer faster. Seems like a misstep.
This is by far the worst halo video game ever made. It is actually offensive how horrible this game is. It was supposed to be a lock that it would be at least better than 5, but it’s somehow actually worse lmfao
I'm not a Halo fan at all. Barely know anything about it, but here is my two cents. It seems like the only way to keep Halo going is to keep introducing new species and then bring back an only enemy. If this is what keeps happening then the series will kill itself.
