A detailed lore breakdown and physical analysis of the parasitic alien lifeform known as The Flood from the Halo franchise.
The flood has always been a favorite of mine for the terrifying intelligence they possess. I thought it would be a perfect time to give a renewed history of the flood following the release of Halo: Epitaph, which gives us a deeper look at the motivations of the primordial and the precursors themselves.
Ending segment is pulled from the newly released novel Halo: Epitaph by Kelly Gay

Awesome like the rest!
Could you do a Doctor Who villain like Daleks or Cybermen next?
Excellent as always
Hey guys! Just wanted to pop in and say thank you to all the people who have been patiently waiting for this. It definitely took me a bit longer than expected but hopefully the effort I put into it makes for a more enjoyable experience overall. Halo means a lot to me so I really wanted to do right by this series and story. Playing Halo CE with my brother is one of my earliest video game memories so it feels really good to come full circle and be able to tell this story how I always imagined it. Thanks again for all of your continued support. Please let me know your honest thoughts and feel free to recommend some new ideas for the next video!
Sweet, I was JUST thinking to myself that it'd be nice if Odyssey uploaded a new video. 👍👍👍
Nice to see you in action once again!
Let’s get this channel to the fucking moon!
I love both voices I dub the lore voice and the scientist voice.
Excellent video quality bro. I've never really seen anything else like this on YT. Yep definitely gonna be going places with such high quality videos and the fact that you take your time and don't rush out your vids is obvious and I love it. Keep it up bro, I'll be rooting for you.
Fantastic editing and overall quality once again.
The Flood are one of my favorite "monsters" for lack of a better term.
Just ignore that 343 turned the flood into dried alien coom and they are very scary.
The segment at 34:45 onwards was so spine chillingly phenomenal.
Wonderful work once more! Can't wait to see what's next!
Damn…. so thats what happened to the daitact
I am loving these! Hope to see you cover the Zergs from Starcraft or maybe the Space Pirates or Metroids from the Metroid games. Always felt like people didn't give these races and games enough attention.
Amazing video once again! Absolutely love this channel, cant wait to see what's next! In the meantime I'll be sharing this everywhere.

Never heard of this channel until today… but I gotta say I love the narration and the use of the halo OST. Looking forward to more!
The algorithm has blessed me this day. Easy subscribe.
This is incredible! Even if you don’t know Halo lore – the way this guy narrates and creates is beyond any content I’ve ever seen – and I’m a lore fanatic for all types of lore. Never seen a creator like this – he is the best until someone finds a way to out do him 💪🏽
37:35 chills
Necromorphs with guns and magic.
The flood withdrew to gather the remaining precursor biomass. That's so awful and sad.
