Will Meg be playing Reach and ODST as some point or skipping over that?
My favorite part of these terminals are Mendicant Bias threatening Guilty Spark
Halo legends might be interesting, also the halo evolutions motion comics on youtube, Legends is less cannon and tenuous in some shorts but there's some good stuff in there. What you're reading into now with these terminals will be more active later, but it's depending on what order you want to continue in, I suggest release order.
If you'd like, there's quite a few youtubers who are very prominent in the halo community who have breakdowns and lore videos giving backstory or more in depth context that you may not get from the games, for example: the youtuber HiddenXperia has a lot of lore videos that you can watch that'll explain the Ai you mentioned Mendicant Bias and more about the war the Ai and the forerunners were fighting in
There's terminals specific to Legendary mode. Its Mendicant Bias and The Gravemind's conversation with each other.
Hey Meg! I'm a new subscriber, and I wanna say I love the content! So glad to see others getting into stuff that you love. If you want another military sci fi, you should definitely play Metal Gear Solid. As emotional as RDR2 and as actiony as Halo, it is also entirely full of plot twists. I highly recommend!
the lore is very very deep with the books about Mendicant Bias the Didact and the Librarian there lot understand luckily there halo channels like hiddenxperia that explain lot of the lore from the games books and comics
Mendicant Bias is one of the better subtle stories in the game.
Hes been silently guiding you on the ark here and there to help you to fight the flood as part of his atonement.
Hes also likely the one that made sure Master Chief survived the portal closing on his ship and put him on a trajectory to a mysterious forerunner planet we saw in the legendary ending.
Will you also be reacting to the legendary Halo 3 terminals? You can find them by playing the levels on Legendary. You see more about Mendicant Bias and his descent into madness 🤪
Halo legends watching👀
I love your hair color.
I'm sure someone said it somewhere, but Halo 3 terminals were always in the original game (not added after).
P.S. PLAY (don't just watch – get the full experience of) HALO WARS. Preferably before ODST and Reach, but at least before Halo 4.
Literal Garden of Eden, near Kilimanjaro in East Africa. Bungie placed the Ark Portal purposefully to the area modern humans are from, one would think.
Some of the classic Halo tracks have hidden messages in them. The Mausoleum Suite (H2) and The Black Tower (H3) are a couple examples. I'd love to see your reactions to those.
Opt for Meg to search things like
HALO 2 ALL SECRETS AND MESSAGE
HALO 3 ALL SECRETS AND MESSAGE
Since it seemed like you missed it, the "Eden" the Librarian is talking about is Earth. She was burying the portal to the Ark that we go through in H3.
There are some important terminals for legendary that were missed in this video
Excited for you to look into the story of Mendicant Bias and Offensive Bias more. The interactions and confrontation between the two are fascinating.
Halo 4, Halo ODST or Halo Reach next?
These were not added after the fact. These terminals were present in halo 3 to begin with
So ODST next?
343 Guilty Spark says in one of the games that Master Chief reminds him of the Didact. I don't think it was during any cutscenes but during one of the missions where he follows you around and makes random remarks about what's happening.
It scares me how Meg gets her theories right about the true lore of the Halo universe. She is very perceptive
Your assumptions on a few things are correct. L & D(Librarian and Didactic) were a couple, and they were on equal levels in their respective roles and fields of expertise. The Forerunners also had their own version of power-armor called combat skins. These combat skins were apparently so advanced that in one of the books Guilty Spark comments on Master Chief’s suit comparing it to a level one combat skin, which is essentially a simple hazmat suit to the Forerunners. And they made at least over eight levels of combat skins.
I still do recommend you watch Halo: Legends, it has beautiful animation that shows the story without spoiling anything for future games.
So the Covenant religion is based on the misunderstanding of a Forerunner love letter?
Never really had the patience to learn about the Halo 3 Terminals. The Halo CE and Halo 2 terminals were better in my opinion. 😁
They did not intend to make more Halo games after Halo 3. Only reason bungie made more games was because Microsoft wanted more obv. Then they eventually sold the IP to Microsoft so they could leave halo behind. Halo Reach was the final game they made.
btw, Mendicant Bias is talking to you the entire time in hidden messages in the red error text off to the left
Please watch Halo Legends. I bet you'll love them!
The place where Librarian was talking about is Earth. The portal that you activated in halo 3 in order to get to the Ark was the one she referenced
Also the ending terminal. Mendicant bias is the reason you’re able to make it to the Dawn. Even though the Halo is being destroyed he kept the sections that you were driving on stable long enough for you to make it to the ship
The planet the Librarian is referring to, the planet she built and buried a "final gateway" on, was Earth. That was the portal you go through in Halo 3 to reach the Ark. The mountain she talks about and spends her last moments on is Mount Kilimanjaro. That was why in Halo 2 the Covenant go to Earth. In the Halo 2 terminals the Prophets refer to a planet called Erde Tyrene (Earth) that hosts a portal to the Ark. They weren't expecting humans to be there, let alone it be their home world.
can't wait for you to play Halo 4!
