When you fight the harbinger, she teleports around. What if she’s not teleporting, but in fact moving through time on a very small scale.

huge potential for dlc story in this game and i cant wait to see how it is further expanded upon. definitely the best halo story and setup we have had in many years

If you all want a real headache the harbinger says the following in one of the missions to a human “we are returning” so that would point to she is one of the endless” also in one of the audio logs she states to a human listener “quite for I shall talk and you shall listen”. This phrase was uttered once before, by the Gravemind.

Remember..."The Halo arrays don't kill flood, it kills their food." -Cortana

Not my comment but someone pointed out how the scene starts with a first-person perspective of Atriox similar to how we see through the eyes of the chief. I wonder if 343 is cleverly foreshadowing the fact that perhaps we might play as Atriox in the next DLC

Here’s an idea for DLC… and a short story. Play as a forerunner in the last days of the battle. Witness the hopelessness and offensive bias’ success against all odds.

I am so excited to see Offensive Bias. I know chief has a history of hating Forerunner Monitors and Ancilas, but I hope Offensive and Chief become allies and friends. Also if Offensive chooses to side with and help humanity, I'd LOVE to see if he has a Forerunner drone fleet of dreadnoughts tucked away in the galaxy somewhere, and use that to rebuild humanity's fleet with the loss of infinity

my God, Mendicant Bias & Offensive bias are somewhat rhyming with Cortana and The Weapon, it's like a cycle...its history repeating itself gcuywvgwgcgbwsebbwjkbwegggsc, and btw the moment I heard "Offensive Bias" I went batshit crazy, full monke.

Curious about what the Legendary ending within #HaloInfinite means and why people are so hyped? Well, in this video I've completely broken it down and explained everything! #HaloInfinitecampaign #HaloInfinite

Enjoyed the commentary on this, after I saw the legendary ending I've been scouring and searching for any info/theories about the endless and their connection to forerunners (and precursors?). Seeing Offensive Bias be teased was such a hype moment and renewed my drive for theory crafting. I'm wondering if the Endless happen to be a species created by the Precursors, or perhaps they're new? Or maybe they're the precursors next step into the Galaxy, descendants, or maybe an altered version of themselves? also dope primordial and mendicant bias art

the endless were imprisoned as to prevent the flood from controlling the construct of time, the gravemind mentions this in his words during halo 2 "through rock.. and metal.. and time.." if the flood could take control of the construct of time, they can fulfill the will of the precursors.

Great vid and explanations! Bit of feedback work on getting those names down: Offensive Bias, Despondent Pyre, Adjutant Resolution. Keep it up!

Really good quality videos, love it. I glanced at your sub count i swear it said 7 million but nah just 7k…. Man you deserve a lot more!!!!!

Stuff relating to the Endless Weapon: There's evidence of an entire civilization that once inhabited this Ring. But… not Forerunner. Older. Different. Weapon: It's tragic. A civilization that had it all under control. Until they didn't. Despondent Pyr: These runes predate me. Older than even the Forerunners, Despondent Pyr: My makers… the Forerunner's greatest fear was understood to be the Great Parasite. The Flood. A scourge that almost wiped out everything. I now believe this hypothesis to be incorrect. Their greatest fear is… was… losing their power. The fear of a master who would become a slave. Despondent Pyr: Time moves forward, and back again. I now see Rings inside of Rings. Great circles everlasting. Without beginning or end. “Endless.” As I say their name I feel… foolish. Uninformed. Misled. Am I afraid. Despondent Pyr: One thing is certain. This installation was built differently than the others. A myriad of Reformation Spires can be deployed… indeed have been deployed when requested. To complete the circle. To ensure its inhabitants are preserved. Or perhaps I should say, "detained." Harbinger: To cover their sins. We stood. Silent. Unable to speak as they passed judgment. We could not defend ourselves. We could not reason with them. Hear this, Forerunners! Your Auditorium has fallen. The Endless found. Your sins undone. Today we return! Grand Edict: The Endless must be contained. I will inform the Criterion to proceed. Grand Edict: It matters not. Today we do what it takes to maintain order. To preserve our truth. Time will forget they ever existed. Grand Edict: If Halo cannot end them. It must imprison them. Grand Edict: When it is done, the engineers will be busy. We will learn their secrets.

Nice to hear all about despondent prior ;) Excellent recap though cheers

What about ancient humans? may some of them still around? What about their technology (or ships, colonies, or relics like forerunner ones)? I feel there is an unfinished arc there and we get almost no information in that regard.

My thoughts on the eternal. Two ideas. One: they are the precursors. When the halos were fired, it reset the DNA of what was still pure in them. The other is that they were before the precursors. Perhaps even apart of the mantle itself.

Biggest mistake of the Forerunners: having Mendicant Bias in charge of all Forerunner defenses against the Flood.

Nice thumbnail bro.

i'm pretty sure the ark we visit in halo 3 is the lesser ark. the greater ark was used to create the original 7 rings and they were all destroyed except for instillation 07 which was reduced in size. the original rings were 30k kilometers while the new array is only 10k Kilometers per ring

Great vid! Appreciate the catch up on the lore, since Halo 5 kind of put me off. Only one question: It’s “Despondent Pie-er” not “Pry-er” isn’t it?

1. Time is a construct that the endless can control hence "we cannot allow it to be theirs" and "we will learn their secrets". 2. Harbinger is manipulating time during the fights but from our pov we see it as teleporting around and evading our attacks. Halo arrays can't kill them as they are able to completely "time jump" it. 3. If the flood consume them they will also have the ability to control time, making them truly unstoppable.

Good video.

I think you overlooked the part about Time being theirs, given that Halo has the concept of living time, perhaps they may related to the Precursors, perhaps that's why offensive bias would be deployed, since that's his experience.

What I find interesting is that quote saying the only thing that could officially kill the hive mind is if time and space rolled up and destroyed life itself….or something like that. It makes me think if the endless can bend time, travel back and forth in time, they could potentially break everything.

I wonder if that is the endless or what’s going on. The harbinger says it’s too late so it seems like succeeded in releasing them but if she succeeded in doing it then what is atriox doing unless she was working with atriox behind the scenes the whole time I mean atriox and his meeting with Cortana was 6 months ago what was he doing the whole time if even the banished thought he’s been dead for months

I think it would be neat to see the flood “working” with the endless like they did us in halo 3. Only for the twist to reveal that the whole reason gravemind was helping the endless was to use them as pawns to their overall plans. If the flood can’t manipulate halo, these endless can and the gravemind would know that. Plus if the endless were truly “worse than the flood” why would they be turning to the forerunners for help? If they are worse then the flood what do they need help from? The flood were the only threat in that time

I have my suspision that this dust in the room with the Endless is Flood spores. Also this greeny fog

I don’t think the endless are the primordials because the forerunners knew about the primordials before the firing of the ring. They talk about the endless like they are new with no information about them. I think the endless are ancient and are extremely intelligent like the primordials but are fundamentally different. They are capable of warping time which if you think about it would make them impossible to kill. there’s a part at the end of the game where chief teleports but at the expense of traveling 3 days into the future, the game has no explanation for this it just happened. It makes sense as well in the context of the rings firing, let’s say the rings are fired and you knew about it ahead of time, if you can teleport a few days into the future it would be easy to skip the moment the ring hit your world. (I also don’t think the harbinger is part of the endless just someone working for the endless, primarily she said stuff like how the endless would be freed but if she was part of the endless then the endless would have already been free as skimmers and her were already free. Also she wasn’t in the same containment area as the endless) also if you can warp time what stops you from keeping yourself from getting older, they would be essentially immortal and then add the fact the can essentially skip moments that would lead to their death and that would mean it would be impossible to cause their “end” making them “endless”

ngl i wonder if abaddon is gonna be revealed with infinites dlcs but at the end when the weapon was fighting the harbinger the fact that they mentioned mendicant bias helping them was insane because he was on the ark last

Who are the ENDLESS in Halo Infinite? - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9tnarqZuLvbpn0.html

Bro this is tooooo epic man wow

I don't like how they introduced a new species and how we got no new news about Ancient Humanity, Primordial and the Precursor. Unless I missed some minor Audio Log or Easter Egg idk.

It would be great if we got to see some of the interrogation scenes between Mendicant Bias and the Primordial in hologram form, maybe as a hidden aria I'm the game, as an Easter egg.

the portal in campaign that opens to save chief could be offensive bias

Heard it brought up that the endless are some variation of the precursors, probably ones that didnt transform into the flood. Maybe they are the precursors? A small detail backing this up is a phrase the harbinger & delta gravemind share; "i shall talk and you shall listen."

I really think the endless are some sort of AI deal. I mean, first of all the card portrait looks like a monitor. Secondly, AI are not biological and would therefore survive a halo firing,. Thirdly, the forerunners see AI as tools, they strip mendicant of creativity to create a version which will serve them, so AI standing on its own would likely terrify them. It just seem to fit the best given what info we have so far.

If The Endless survived the Halo Array without skipping through time, then their central nervous system must be different enough to survive it (like the Chief surviving the composer). Surely that means its different enough that the flood wouldn't be able to infect them? They struggled to infect Johnson thanks to his Orion augmentations damaging his nervous system

What if the reason for locking up the endless is to stop them from being infected by the flood after the rings are fired.

So would the Flood work with the endless? Or is the only way to kill the endless (only good reason to keep flood on standby on the same ring)

Okay, So I'm wondering if the Endless are perhaps an actual machine intellegence/species. If so, they wouldn't be affected by either the flood or the rings as both affect only biological beings. I'm only thinking this due to the strange "tablets" (shown at 10:45. Which are similar to the "tablets" that were seen when the catalogued species were reintroduced to the galaxy after the rings where fired). The specific "tablets" shown are far more machine like than any of the previously seen "tablets"!

I’m hoping for an all out war, chief/arbiter vs Endless/Banished vs Promethean’s vs Flood

Entities who are composed will survive the firing of Halo rings. In the book Primordium, if I recall correctly, flood-infected humans and forerunners from the Palace of Pain are composed or attempted to be composed around the time Chakas is piloting the ring. Could they be the Endless?

The imprisoned endless kind of look like the cortana chip that master chief puts in the back of his helmet.

loved the video it was great and really interesting but it irritates me when you call Despondent Pyre "Despondent Prye"😂

don't forget skimmers are also endless. they got the same hands and feet as the Harbinger.

From the style of Harbinger and other little tidbits, I think the Endless are precursers in origin, like the primordial.

So apparently 2/3 of the campaign was removed to make Halo Infinite so definitely seems like DLC would be on the way with the scrapped content and also how vague the story is in some regards

The endless are a threat purely because of the flood imagine a flood infected endless. Universe gone

I definitely see more content coming in the future for halo infinite, if the rumor is true with their being content for the next 10 years then im sure their are going to be multiple differen campaigns out there

In that room that atriox opened with all the “endless”, it looks like there’s flood spores in the air, no?

I pray and hope even if we do get future dlc for the campaign it de awesome if DLC took place on different part of the ring so you can actually explore the whole ring

i really hope halo infinte will have several chapters of campaign .. seems like there is more room to rebuild the unsc on zeta halo ... find lasky/palmer/blue team maybe halsey (not sure if she was on infinte at zeta halo). discover the fate of Infinity and attriox. so much more room for story expansion without having to rebuild a whole game, plus it would be nice to expand the open world some more. I loved it had alot of halo CE themes which felt great. I want more and there is definitely room for more.

I want DLCs for Mendicant Bias and the Flood, Atriox and defeating the banished for good, an Arbiter arc and ODST style missions

Maybe if the flood were to start using the endless as biomass they would gain the ability to not be destroyed by the Halo array. It seems to me that would make them particularly dangerous. Pretty sure that can be killed easily I mean Master Chief kills one at the end of the game. Unless the harbinger is some other weird alien race that we don't know.

Why didn’t you think Campaign DLC would be coming they said this game has a 10 year plan ofc it will have future dlc

The Endless are the Precursors. They were before, during and after. After Forerunners "wiped them out", they swore revenge as they dispersed themselves throughout the galaxy. Lots of years pass and they turn into the flood. Firing Halo doesn't kill Flood, it kills their food (all other life), thus rendering them dormant (not dead). Life goes on, and revives, so does the Flood. The Flood, being a corrupted and wretched state of being of Precursor, would surely be a lesser "species" of them and thus less dangerous. Which is why it's stated "far worse than flood on ring". Too easy.

The endless better be even more terrifying then the flood

"Halo doesn't kill Flood, it kills their food. Humans, Covenant, whatever! We are all equally edible. The only way to stop the Flood is to starve them to death." - Cortana from Halo CE I'm guessing what they have sealed in the Cylixes are Graveminds that were left over from the war. If I remember correctly, The Gravemind was called Timeless One. I wonder if The Endless and Timeless One are the same. The Didact did use a Precursor tech called Reverse Timelock on the Timeless One before the firing of the rings. It was used to speed up time on the Primordial by millions of years which eventually lead to its destruction. We know that the Halo array can damage Precursor tech, which would leave the Forerunners with nothing to decay them with. Unlike Precursors, Forerunners have less control over time manipulation. This would leave them with the option of sealing the Graveminds in Cylixes.

I am curious, if something is more dangerous than the flood in the halo universe we’ve got a big issue

The story should eventually end with the morales being: your luck eventually runs out (master chief being sent out with a bang). Everyone must band together to face an unstoppable foe (the flood). And by the very end it is revealed that the test wasn’t just meant for humanity, it was for everyone set in motion by the precursors who realized to late that “The Mantle of Responsibility” is not meant to be held up by one race alone but in fact all races should be responsible for the mantle. A lesson the forerunners and even the precursors themselves failed to learn.

If the Endless can’t die and are worse than the flood. Hoo boy. I’m excited. And now we have official mentioned Offensive Bias in main line story. Of course mendicant bias was around in 2 and 3 but still.

i think there might be a dlc call back to halo ce with a final mission to blow up the ring with the infinity or something thats how i thought the original story was going to end

The new story is setting up for offensive bias to side with the endless and follow in mendicant bias's path. The conclusion of the new story will probably be mc, new cortana, maybe even atriox and possible some old characters who might be brought back from time travelling against the endless, the banished and offensive bias.

idk mang, bullets seemed to work on the Harbinger. if we upscale it to a planet pretty sure we can take them out in 1 go.

Did we ever find out what happened to captain lasky and the other Spartans, like if any of them survived?

It's stated that the Forerunners exterminated the precursors including the mutated premordial, so could it be possible that the Endless are different species? But in the other hand the game gives proofs that they are at least the same origin, like when the Harbinger interrogate the UNSC marines she said the same thing as the Gravemind then made his mind instable.

Imagine the endless are an evolved version of the flood that can’t be killed by halo or anything else

Could someone explain why people think the cylixes are the endless and not flood spores?

Hmm offensive bias was deployed where and by whom for what purpose? He was meant to be deactivated by the protocol that was inspired by mendicant bias's betrayal and does he have a labyrinth like mendicant had where ever he is?

If the flood were to infect and find these endless then that could be a problem as the flood could learn the secrets of time travel as well as surviving halo arrays firing.

I believe the Giant Sandwich easter egg fits in to all of this somehow? I just dont know how🤔

You didn't know there'd be DLC for the campaign? 343 Industries said, years ago, that Halo Infinite would be the last Halo game for 20 years. It was obvious they'd be expanding on the initial campaign.

13:39 defensive bias

Some of this I just read word for word on halopedia

Oh shit this was a legendary only ending?? Lol I didn't know at all. Its sick though def glad I played through it on legendary

am i the only one that thinks its stupid to put a lock on something so dangerous and just not destroy the key or locking mech so it cant be opened? and safe to say the Endless are mechanical and not flesh sounds like the forerunners ambushed the endless just because they survived the Halo Array firing, it seems like the endless either figured out how to transfer their consciousness to machines so they could survive such super weapons. And doing such was a big enough of a red flag for the forerunners to imprison them. Especially since the cylixs of the endless kinda of look like a sentinel. but the question is will they suddenly be aggressive for the imprisonment? cause as i stated earlier i havent heard about them being an aggressive species

Well, we know a test firing unleashed The primordial in stasis. What is the precursors had their creators frozen? And the halo rings can't kill them.

Who was helping the weapon ?

If the halos were ineffective they may be non biological or have crazy technological resources

Could the endless be the precursors? Maybe they are returning hence why the forerunners are so concerned because of what happened between them beforehand.

If the rings can’t kill the endless, then perhaps 66 tons of HE spewing divine intervention can

Its Despondent Pyre (Pie-Er) no Pry-Er

Trinston was here.

Anyone else hopes this happens in the dlc?: Shipmaster, Lord Hood, and cavalry warp in next to Zeta Halo. “Brute ships, staggered line. Shipmaster, the Banished outnumber us 3 to 1!” “Then it is an even fight”

3:08 does anyone else see the sadcat meme?

So... Atriox traveled back in time?

Halo Infinite had a pretty good story, but since Halo 5 really screwed everything up lore wise Infinite could only really serve as a course correct for the series. Reach still has the best story IMO but Infinite is a step in the right direction for the next couple of Halo games.

Well they did say the game is a 10 year plan I hope they add the flood to the game I'm so ready this endless is the precursor also cortana confirmed that the flood is on this ring which these dlcs r gonna be awesome can't wait to see them and play them

liked the video. But fix the audio, is so low i had my headphones on at 80 volume. the commercials sound louder than the video.

It's a good set up for some thing else but waiting for a game to realise for 6 years only to have the whole game set up the next game for a species we know little about I find a tad disappointing

So that orb Atriox is holding is the AI? Or what? Is it just like some key?

Actually according to the game she is an exact copy the only difference being if she hadn’t meet chief.

i hope you realize that "despondent pyre" and "Adjutant Resolution" are separate characters and that "Despondent Pyre" is in fact dead. Im only saying this cause you keep referring to them as one character when they are in fact two different character. Which is why "Adjutant Resolution" doesn't fully know what secrets the ring holds as "he" was never fully in charge of the ring until now.

Someone knows what was Atriox doing?

The Harbringer was talking to Atriox that was sent in the past to turn the key maybe? It’s a good confusing ending an I like it. Gives me the good ol Xbox 720 with the halo 4 vibes back in the day!!

My question now is, what does atriox have to do with this?!! Dun dun dun...

Sounds like Bornstellar!
