The Brutal, Disturbing pre-Halo 2 History of Tartarus - Chieftain of the Brutes (Halo 2) 

Ok

I’ll get my tea and crumpets and sit back and relax

I'll get out my sea food then

Please do the history of Dadab! He and Lighter than Some were some of my favorite characters in Contact Harvest

I just finished Halo Contact Harvest on audible like 3 days ago

I’m actually surprised they couldn’t climb ladders

I’m missing the daam joke

Elite legs bend backward not forward. Elites can use ladders but it is extremely difficult and tiring

Console Freaked they can’t use ladders

just throw one at them and they immediately disintegrate

Lmao that's the epitome of petty 🤣

But at least it's not homicide

and it makes sm sense 😂

I think all think all those brutes in the level are kinda dumb

The minor level

Oh God, can you imagine the Chief giving the Arbiter a piggyback ride everytime they ran into a ladder? Even better... Chief: "This is Sierra 117, is there any Pelican's on standby for a tactical drop?" Pelican pilot on standby: "What do you need Chief?" Chief: "I...uhhh...need a harness on the double Marine." Pilot: "Right away sir! Wait...did you say a harness?" Chief: "Affirmative." Pilot: Oh, I get it! You found some cool tech didn't ya? Why don't we just fly it out of there for you?" Chief: "No! That won't be necessary. I just need an extra.." Arbiter: "Chief, please don't tell anyone.." Pilot: "Don't tell anybody what?" Arbiter: "You heard that?!" Chief: "I need an extra large baby harness." Pilot: "What?! You mean like a snuggly?" Chief: "Yes pilot, a super sized snuggly on the double." Pilot: "Okay, can you give us a proper dimension for this super sized snuggly?" Chief: "Roughly 8'7." Arbiter: "8'7" Pilot: "That's one big baby!" Arbiter: "Nevermind, I found a Brute jetpack." Pilot: "Wait...." Arbiter: "If you know what's good for you, you will end transmission or I will crush your..." Chief: "Settle down and stay on task Arbiter."

@@Sinn0100 I’m high rn and reading this in all of their voices and having a mental image of it might be one of the funner things I did so far

@@iamMildlyUpsetWithMostOfYouTub That's what I did when I was writing it. It's really funny when you picture their voices.

Reading this I just picture a farmer hugging an Engineer but then Tartarus starts beating the shit out of the farmer while the Doom theme plays

Tarterous is as dumb as other brutes are...

@@miyu7394 I love the image in my mind

That explains the driving on it I guess.

@@novavortex7763 I dont think brutes are really all that stupid tbh. I think their ability to access their potential was harmed by the covenant being their y’know patrons and the fact that they are so aggressive and warlike both naturally and culturally. Legitimately if they had structure conducive to them and actual education they likely would be a force to be reckoned with. Sort of like the banished, but to be fair the banished are highly atypical and Atriox is a super genius by brute standards. At the same time though, the banished are evidence that when left to their own devices with good structure, they invent a lot of stuff. The brutes are remarkably good at ripping shit apart to figure out how it works and making a jury rigged or “brute” force copy of said things. Even Tartarus as dumb as he might be was an effective leader for the brutes to a certain degree and he clearly was able to understand not just that his uncle was fucking up and responsible for their issues, but why he was responsible. If they were closer to ape intelligence, they would only understand that they’re in a bad situation and look for someone to blame and try to kill them in the most brutal way. Tartarus didn’t kill his uncle just cause he was angry his buddy died and the ship went down, he was pissed cause his uncle was obviously incompetent due to his zealousness. That coming from Tartarus whos super fucking zealous. I think thats good evidence of them possessing semi-decent intelligence. Especially considering veteran brutes would and will actually use good tactics in fights if at times a bit primitive. If you gave medieval humans advanced technology and the act the way they do, because of how they were raised, the culture of the time/place, and the shock of all this new shit, they would act very similarly to brutes. Humans are far more viscous and brutal that most people would like to think.

Lmao

It was probably inevitable given that the prophets were corrupt and would have declared extermination on humans anyway, and also the Covenant present in harvest were determined to seek artifacts regardless of how the meeting went.

@@daveyjoneslocker4703 Yeah the war really started when the prophets realized that humanity were the reclaimers. That's when they decided we needed to be exterminated. Before that we very likely could've joined the Covenant and taken a place close to the elites.

@@maxhydekyle2425 what's funny is if they exterminated us their 'oracles' would have hated them

@@maxhydekyle2425 oh how a simple mistranslation could cause such a long a blood war

They did

Might be why he took Johnson seriously when he threatened him with a beam rifle

So Choppers are spicy farming equipment

Damn we should also make a tractor with m16s fitted on each side

Darth Vader imagine a scorpion or warthog with those plow blades.

Darth Vader gun mounted combine harvesters. Why does that sound like something that already exists?

Alexander I was just about to say that! ...but then the Brutes found it 😞

I love it

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣

My friends: you cant just use tartarus quotes to talk! Me: are you sure?

*Looks at Teacher *"WHICH IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT I'LL DO TO YOU"*

Principal walks in: dont shake the lightbulb

Just use a hose. I don’t think it’s that serious , just wash it

Or her just let it fall off over time and just let it weather and clean itself over time

@@jefferycollins4844 i mean i would argue the timeline of halo 2 not allowing that but then again when you begin arbiter's delta halo missions in the cutscene they're already talking abut how chief has killed regret, which means chief would have already been pulled under the water by that point and then somehow the arbiter can do the entire two missions to get the index, be betrayed and fall into the gravemind room, and then STILL somehow only make it there a few seconds after chief arrives? i mean fuck it then i guess literally anything goes at this point

@@lapotato9140 I think it just took a very long time for the Gravemind to get Chief all the way to wherever tf he was at.

Gonna be honest I never realized that was an elite skull. Always thought it was a dead Flood infection form or whatever those ugly little buggers are. (Not the... you know, actual bugs.)

They were going to be at war anyway because the Prophets wanted to erase any evidence that humanity were the true heralds of the Forerunners

@@_MaZTeR_ Yeah but that's the real reason and the real reason wasn't shown to most of the covenant. As far as most knew, that grunt started to war.

the grunts on that ship as well as many other in the early years of the war were very dumb and animalistic and basically lacked the self preservation instincts the more modern ones have for the most part

@@pyrecorsomething2216 Cause they were children, most* grunts now are veterans

Actually, the most disturbing thing is that Tartarus is completely to blame for the human-covenant war

@@benciudovchgottdank3460 yup but The covenant still would of done it later

@@benciudovchgottdank3460 A grunt is. You could also go back farther and just point to the prophets.

That took some balls from a little Grunt.

I think Grunts used to have a lot more fearless warriors back in the day but the cowardly ones were more useful to the covenant and pretty rare, so they were wiped out.

@@matizluv1316 I think all the grunts had the potential to become fearless, but it took a lot of motivation to do so, such as threatening their species, homeworld, or friend.

@@joebomb1019 We keep forgetting that Grunts are actually badasses and the main component of the Covenant Army, do you know how many grunts actively and willingly do suicide runs to kill what they consider a demon?

I've also come to the realization grunts are the closest thing to humans the covenant has. Some of the parts of the halo extended universe have grunts trying to sabotage the covenant in order for them to not kill their friend, or stuff like that

That grunt is truly the hero of all of Halo history

Also how a Grunt started the whole war early. I bet if peace talks continued the prophet's would have gather information on Human worlds and then wipe them in one fail swope rsther than a dragged out war. To think 1 grunt screw up lead to the downfall of the covenant

Francis Harkins they deserve it for trusting a grunt with anything of responsibility. I mean one of them literally had a hand in the death of the highest ranking Elite there ever was, all because he was bore

@@francisharkins I mean I don't think oni would be too keen on giving up power either so it would be that cut and clear but definitely wouldn't help

Omg he really is he saved pretty much the whole galaxy in saving Johnson

Ladder

@gman57op anti-mason you haven't seen a horse trying to climb a steep hill then, to climb straight up your legs have to push straight up off the ground to create enough force to lift, with horse like legs elites can't do that because if they push off the ground the force will go behind them not upwards, though elites definitively can climb a ladder but it would be entirely with upper body strength and Elites are not primate based creatures like Brutes and humans so they're not built with heavy arm strength hence why it would tire him out gruesomely especially trying to lift himself in heavy metal armor

Sword of the prophets in Jesus Christ mighty name.

I heard they're nerfing ladders in the next patch so I'll reserve my judgements until then.

Ladder wins everytime

You’re referring to the elites right?

being gay is not normal You seem to hate the prophets with a passion. Which is funny considering they are video game characters

@@HiddenXperia Hey Thanks for the reply ! Can I have one question ? Have you ever heard the the story of Zo Resken ? He is the Prophet of Clarity from Halo Broken Cricle.

@@jswid2251 There's always hope

@Hide Your Children "The Icon, is my only concern."

@@HiddenXperia Atriox was just standing off to the side laughing at him. "HA! You got all of the Covenant-aligned Brutes killed over a race war? Man thats stupid! Now come my Banished, let's tear the Ark apart trying to keep it off Humanities hands!"

HiddenXperia very dedicated.

@@HiddenXperia Insanely devoted would be a better fit. I loved blowing him up with a Banshee on The Great Journey. Yes, you can do that, but it's a bit difficult. The rewards, however, make it "A small price to pay for salvation."

The name is literally in the title of the video you clicked on, yet you still managed to spell it wrong

Ahh yes, the chieftain, *"Tartarsauce"*

Sir, can I have the ugggghhhhh tartersauce?

LMFAO I’ve always thought about tartarsauce

That marine called him the grunt version of the N word.

Well the brutes made it clear they wanted the entire planet, so tough to tell how when or how else it would have started. My guess is they would have started to turn some cities inside out looking for Forerunner artifacts, only to get shot at by the UNSC while learning their device is no longer useful. After that, my guess is nothing would change with the Hierarc's decisions.

​ @Alexander Robins Or It could have easily just gone like this. Your proposal is unacceptable, this planet is our home and we cannot, we will not give it up. However you say that you seek to excavate and recover lost alien (forerunner was it?) artifacts of significance to your religion? If that is all then under the following conditions, we would be happy to let you do so, and even be willing to lend assistance where we can. And this would not just here on Harvest, but on any UNSC controlled planet where such artifacts may yet be found. The conditions being Condition 1: You, that is to say this group calling itself the Covenant, make a non aggression pact with us. Condition 2: You, the Covenant, enter into trade negotiations with us. Condition 3: You share and/or exchange technology with us. Including all new technological knowledge gained from any artifacts recovered on a human owned world. Are these conditions acceptable? Tartarus thinks Condition 1: A smart move for a technologically and physically inferior race. It is no skin off of my back if they don't want to fight us and/or want us attacking them. Condition 2: I don't see why not, at the very least we can buy raw materials and other resources from them, and in their ignorance we can most likely get bargain prices. (aka for beads) Condition 3: Again I don't see why not give them a technological boost and educate them about the forerunners maybe even get some human converts that wish to join the covenant. And why not share with them knowledge of the glorious wonders of the forerunner's legacy, after all we get the artifacts they just want to know what we learn from them. These conditions seem acceptable I will relay your counter proposal to the Prophets and upon their approval we shall make it so.

@@jlk461 get a life.

@Mr.Tweezy007 me too

Tartar's Special Sauce ;)

Pronounced tar-tear in Australia, and it’s not bad. They fight about fish and chips, it’s almost traditional, like lemon

I'm just disappointed that Tartar Ass hasn't caught on

We have tartar sauce here too in the states I love it with fish and chips

poor dadab what fucking hero

@@ianh2950 Dadab was a fucking lad

The Covenant didn’t really “hire” the Huragok. They basically forced the Engineers to work for them. That’s why they wear the explosive harnesses in the game.

@@Fieds_Blade dey still terk rr jerbsssss

dr. breen's beard maybe, but the Drones should blame the Prophets.

Lol, I loved that part.

As honouring that Southpark trope... DEY TOOK OUR JEBS!

I could imagine a bunch of chief fanboys charging into battle xD

If I'm not mistaken, I believe MOST of the grunts actually sided with the Elites during the schism, but because those still under the Brutes were still a very common enemy, they figured they'd nip the confusiom in the bud and just not show more than elites on our side of the schism.

@@Recoil1808 Bungie was gonna do that in Halo 3 but Bungie thought it would “confuse” us while playing

@@primusvsunicron1 well that's stupid. I mean in halo 2 they figured out how we could fight elites and grunts while fighting alongside elites and grunts no problem. Just a decent visual change to their gear and armor was enough.

A grunt using a sniper or a tactical shotgun

Drones: These Engineers are coming here and stealing our jobs! The Prophets: That's our problem why?

Drones: *in a southern accent* "They took our Job!"

*In degraded southern accent* "DEY TERK ERR JERB!!"

@@bloodydove5718 "HUH DERK AH DUUUUUUUUR!"

Also fun fact: According to Halo Fleet Battles, Brute pilots develop an attachment to their fighter craft to the point of naming them and brute squadrons form a tightknit brothership between them much like our own human pilots here on earth

@@ArtificialDragon okay that moved me ngl

There will be halo infinite, not halo 6

They’re pretty much confirmed

So we can all enjoy BURNING THEIR MONGREL HIDES!

Jebus Indeed, he I suppose he questioned if it was worth it to surrender after all he had done up to that moment, questioning if it was worthy to betray the covenant and side with the heretics after the truth he had been exposed too.

There actually both if you know the grunts back story

@@bearsarecool900 yeah :/ I know poor little fart breathers

He killed his uncle, so yeah.

ok maybe I shouldn't have said he was masochistic that's not exactly true LOL

Brutes invented hardcore

@@badgerman2229 Ironically, the Brutes are actually a kinda kinky race, their societal status is based on their physical strength, and their sexual success. So their societal hierarchy is basically the same as the Furry hierarchy. Not that I would know about such a thing, or anything. Just speculation.

JakeSpacePirate E oh my god

Tartarus likely would've started his own faction exclusively with brutes and set out to get revenge by stopping and killing truth, leaving the prophet of truth practically fucked. So while the brutes are now either choosing a side (Tartarus or truth) the covenant would have to fight not only the unsc, but also Tartarus' newly formed army. With all this extra suppression against the covenant, truth would've likely failed miserably at attempting to open the portal to the ark and an even more drastic downfall to the covenant faction would occur. After the covenants defeat Tartarus would probably try to destroy earth or retreat after the elites since these are his enemies and without a goal, I don't see why he wouldn't want to attack and dominant one if not both of these factions. This is my theory at least

Star Trek reference

Brave Ungoy are the most badass things ive ever seen.

You're gay

Or movie

@Fire Team Apollo Holy Shit, Halo but you play as SGT Johnson, a 'Regular" person/marine. Halo Without an Energy Shield and the stakes are a lot higher. Marine VS Brute, You can't just run into the middle of a squad like master chief and start punching everything to death. A Sgt Johnson game would be cool

"I am not Tartarus or some fanatic. I am not Truth. I am not Regret. I am their remedy." - Atriox to a group of would-be assassins

Same, and I'd be surprised if Atriox didn't know who he was. For all we know Tartarus could've been one of the commanders sending his Brutes on suicide missions at the behest of the Prophets

@Mr Grav haha "brutal" haha

Bruh it’s hardly a pun because the word brutal is the adjective version of the word brute, it’s not like it was a mind fuck

@@Alotofnades exactly my point it was ironic

Halo rings will fire and everyone dies the end.

@@Burning-Twilight yeah lol

We'd pretty much be thier slaves jist like the grunts and the engineers

@@Burning-Twilight yah good point

IIRC, Thrallslayer was sent off Shield World 4059? by Ripa to escort Regret to High Charity and to deny the Brute any glory.

I mean Zuka Zamamee (the Elite that hunted Master Chief throughout one of the games (don't remember which one)) granted Yayap the Grunt the highest position a grunt as ever achieved, one part higher than the jackals

@@leoninenoble Haha Yayap baybee. Halo: The Flood (Halo: CE). I shed a manly tear at the end of that book.. when he rode off on the ghost into the desert. then everything exploded.. fucking badass book

@@aeronautisch I should read it 😂 I only knew about this story because of hidden xperia's video on it.

good question

No, The covenant were first contact.

That's disappointing. Although I imagine if humanity did have contact/trade/alliances with such species, we'd see something more akin to Mass effect.

Technically the Halo Universe is the future of ours, and since we do not have "proof of alien contact", neither would they. But we know the truth.....

Well, technically they did. Back in ancient days humanity was at war with the forerunners(aliens) but most of them(and everything else) was wiped out by the Halo rings and got reset. So, yes they had prior contact with aliens, they just don't teach it.
