EVERY FLOOD OUTBREAK in Halo EXPLAINED

I'm just about to hit 600,000 subscribers, thank you all for the support! This is my first milestone since Infinite came out lmao, so feelsextremelygoodman. Figured this was the perfect video to celebrate, so enjoy!

There’s a small detail in Halo CE that a lot of people miss, but there’s actually a couple places in the flood missions where you can find marine and jackal corpses next to each other in defensive positions surrounded by the flood. Implying they put aside their differences to make a last stand.

Jerome using a chair to deal with the flood will forever be the best highlighted scene in the halo universe.

HiddenX trying not to make a flood video challenge, difficulty: impossible

Right listen here, there were good doggos and then Doctor Seuss invented green spaghetti and then the good doggos ate the green spaghetti and then they were no longer good doggos. And that’s how the flood first flooded!

"ok it's 3:15 am, time for bed" Hidden: releases a flood video "oh well, sleep is overrated anyway"

Out of all breakouts, the spirit of fire might be the funniest one, knowing Spartans can absolutely rip something with their hands , Jerome chose a fucking chair 😂😂😂😂😂

Moral of the story: Make sure to mark the expiration date somewhere visible on the vials next time. Sincerely, All life with enough sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood

The thought of 4 infected Spartans and and unknown number of infected forunners and marines chilling in what is essentially a commandeered FTL capable upsized pelican dropship is as ridiculous as it is terrifying.

Man I hope they bring the flood back to halo.

30 minutes of pure Halo lore, especially its dark, esoteric and mysterious side. My god, I didn't know we'd be so blessed today 🙏

“Guys! There’s a flood outbreak in Australia!” “WHAT?!” “Yeah, the damn holding the water broke.” “Oh.”

How have we not gotten a Halo horror game yet? There are so many points in the timeline where the premise of "lone marine against the Flood onslaught" would fit in perfectly.

It breaks my heart knowing how much HiddenXperia loves the flood and how 343 will never put them back in the games

When I first heard of the Endless, my mind immediately went to the "meddlers" on Delta Halo that gave rise to the Gravemind that we meet in Halo 2.

I kinda was shocked when I didn’t see High Charity and the outbreak in Africa- but then I realized those weren’t outbreaks, but the continuation of the Delta Halo containment breach. I love the video- very comprehensive and detailed, and it warms my heart to see the Endless included in more theory videos as actually contenders for unsolved mysteries. Stumbled on a bit of a rabbit hole tho- supposedly the Forerunners were the Precursor’s adjutants, and the humans had been selected for the Mantle of Responsibility. I was reading the Halo Encyclopedia, and it mentioned that the Eld(that one Forerunner symbol we see everywhere) was precursor in origin and a mistranslation of an unknown meaning. The Eld- the symbol of the Ecumene, and the Reclaimer Glyph- the symbol of humanity’s inheritance, are both potential mistranslations of Precursor concepts. Furthermore, we see the Harbinger wearing the reclaimer symbol on her helm, and the face of Abaddon(a precursor AI- which is most likely just a precursor who entered the domain) has the face of a human with Xalanyn features. If you look at Abaddon, the Primordial, and the Harbinger all together at once the resemblance is uncanny. The head shape, the mandibles with a human face, and the fact that Guardians are precursor in origin- like the Composers- giving the composed and Guardians those horrid grins. What I’m trying to say is- the fact that the Flood, humanity, Precursors, Primordial, and the Endless are connected in some way is undeniable. Clearly the Forerunners had plans for the humans- according to the Primordial- and the Xalanyn seem to also have some level of connection to the Humans. The Harbinger brings the truth that perhaps the humans aren’t the precursor’s reclaimers, but they are important to their grand plan. The Precursors, Abaddon for example, uses a blend of facial features of the Xalanyn and humans, with a Guardian body. Personally, I believe that the Endless are the reincarnations of many of the killed Precursors- we know they died and rebirths, advanced and devolved; what if the Endless are just re-evolving precursors who’ve been in stasis for all these years? I was re-listening to Despondent Pyre’s lines earlier, and she mentions how the Xalanyn were discovered by the Forerunners but seemingly anticipated by her superiors, the surprise being that they had appeared so quickly. The Forerunners knew the precursor race would return, but they were shocked by how fast they did so. Anyway- I love Halo’s lore

Can't wait until Xperia makes a real life gravemind to satisfy his flood curiosity

Even though it's only brief references, the description for one of the Halo 5 Req variants and the 2022 Halo Encyclopedia stated that the Covenant encountered/released the Flood several times over the course of their history.

16:41 That's really cool to have a potential tie in to the Endless. It works with the timing of the outbreak too that any advanced race that was around at that time would have had to have survived the rings somehow, like the Endless did

You know guys, shotguns are overrated when fighting against the flood. Use a chair instead.
