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!
This video was awesome!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL OF THE SUCCESS🎉🎉🎉🎉🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🥂🥂🥂🥂!!!!!!
Hey video idea due to reading contact harvest 😅 could you do a what if the profits failed to stop the orical taking the dreadnought to humanity ?
Congratulations on 600K!!
Almost to 1M.
Hey, out of curiosity, does the infected ship landing on earth in H3 not count?
@@Starwarsfan066 lets goooo🙌!
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.
I did see that! Halo CE was a masterpiece!
Woah I’ll be sure to look for that next time
Luc went over an animation on that some time ago

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!
Man..... i aint ever eating spaghetti ever again🫤
basically tbh

Green spaghetti? I guess I'll pass on the pesto at Olive Garden then...

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
Lol
All biomass can sustain the Flood -- except for Chuck Norris because legends say that Chuck punched a zombie so hard, it came back to life. Also because he's the guy whose house destroyed a fire, demoted the rapper 1 Dollar into 50 Cent, and the sole reason why Waldo is hiding
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.
Watch 343 never bring up this detail ever again
And rightly so let us head Canon our buddy comedies

“Guys! There’s a flood outbreak in Australia!”
“WHAT?!”
“Yeah, the damn holding the water broke.”
“Oh.”
Given the sort of stuff that evolved there, I wouldn't be surprised if something native to Australia ended up being immune to the Flood...
@@Jedi_Spartan_38you mean infecting the flood? Yeah, Australia is wild
I wouldn't be surprised that the flood originated from the outback. I mean aus is home to some of the most crazy fauna and insects ever

@@brn_4456 The Flood wouldn't last 5 seconds in Florida if it got between native Floridamen and their local Waffle House branch
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.
The question of the century!!
343 doesn't like the flood. Hopefully someone else starts making halo games.
Even better if it's just a technician, kinda like dead space without the powerfull weapons and that stuff, but a situation more similar too alien isolation, where you can just scare the xenos but not outright kill them, now with the flood you can kill them but it has to be difficult and as a last resort
So much potential. So much lore to pull from. So many fans chomping at the bit for a good flood survival horror game... One can dream.
Dude a Mona Lisa flood game would G O O F F
It breaks my heart knowing how much HiddenXperia loves the flood and how 343 will never put them back in the games
one day...
It's an honest shame too. Because from a cash grab standpoint all they would have to do is add a flood DLC to infinite or just even mention the flood when talking about a future Halo game and it would add so much hype.
They kind of already did in halo wars 2 but I emphasize kind of
They'll just make it a DLC for a crappy spin-off game that nobody played. Oh wait. They already did that.
I mean weren't they part of 4? Honestly if they were to bring the Flood back again, then it would have to be a massive storyline. I could see them adding them as an update patch in Infinite. Maybe the final update before a new Halo game where the story literally is the destruction of the Flood once and for all
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.
Mine just went to the flood, i mean, the Endless DOES sound like a nickname for it. I just hope 343 manages to make the endless interesting, or at least mid... or if not, Gay will have to write another book fixing 343's problems lol
I always thought Penitent Tangent released the Flood on purpose to have fun

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.
Would a gaming chair work for Flood-swatting?
Yes

Could Batman survive a flood outbreak? Specifically Arkham Batman
Ol' Bruce has a nervous system and breathed unfiltered air, he's done for
@@HiddenXperia Arkham Batman has GOTTA have a hazmat bat suit somewhere
I love Batman, he is my favorite Hero and i usually believe he can get out of most situations even some people would call “plot armor”. Arkham Batman probably wouldnt make it cuz he is scaled down in comparison to the comics. And even comic Batman prob wouldnt make it unless he had sooo much time to prepare. I think he may live for a little bit but ultimately it would get him.
What about Iron Man?
The HazBat @@obiwankenobi6774
Oh hey TH-cam actually told me about this one.
Excellent video as always, fantastic chronicle of the history of Flood outbreaks
27:51 i never understand why people think it was a FLOOD Spartan when the storycand audio emphasized that it was a normal human combat form
Yeah Im glad Im not the only one who also noticed that.
The sunset scene where the brush captured the first flood in so many years, terrifies me.
It's scary to think about it. We know what a proto Grave mind and a grave mind are but we don't know what a key mind looks like
My mind immediately goes to a brethren moon from Dead Space. Just a planet sized Gravemind.
@windrider2190 what if is a grave mind the size of a solar system?
This really makes me want a Flood Survival Horror game so much. And it would be perfect if we could use improvised weapons like a steel chair to combat the Flood, just like Jerome did.
Halo 2's outbreak was the best outbreak and the lore behind it is amazing.
The Mona Lisa is one of my favourite stories in the Halo universe
horror in halo games is literally so good
HiddenXperia is a gravemind confirmed
Lmfaooo😂😂😂😂
"Ladies and gentlemen, we got em!"
I believe the endless caused the delta halo outbreak, they were survivors of the forunner purge. Trying to find their locked away species on the wrong ring, they broke out the wrong species. And the monitor referred to them as meddlers. Same deal with spark on 04 but they crash landed and before they could explore the ring to try and find their species (not knowing they were on the wrong ring) spark built a building over them ro cover them up.
The ones that crashed on 04 died in the crash most likely. Spark says his many attempts to communicate with them were met with silence and there was no sign of them even attempting to leave their vessel.
@BrandonFlint-ro2ns They started sending out a distress call that spark blocked. The endless (meddlers) were probably injured upon crashing. But I bet the endless (meddlers) that went to delta halo accidentally freed the flood trying to find their lockeded away species not knowing they were only on zeta halo.
Happy 600k! I watched the video earlier but checked the channel and saw you hit the milestone. Happy for you bro, here’s to the next milestone!
There were a few things you left out (understandable because of how much there was to cover) such as how Rtas lost his mandible in the infected covenant ship, Chief’s interaction with an infected Mendoza in Halo: The Flood, and the Didact’s torture by the Gravemind. Great video as always! 🪑
The Mona Lisa story is one of my all time favorites.
we need MORE flood videos
Happy EARLY 600k! As a die hard Halo fan since 6 years old, I’ve been watching you for 5 years and love every Halo Lore video you make!🎉🎉
I think my favorites were the mini outbreak on the spirit of fire and The outbreak on the Mona
any hiddenxperia flood video is always gonna be fire
You know it👆🙌🙌🙌
27:00 A couple of months ago my friends and I created a fireteam and nown 343, took the name
Is there any lore about the covenants first contact with the flood? Because in halo was 1 when we first see the arbiter he is trying to gain access to the forerunner map room in the ice and a elite asks him about “the Parasite”. This was a few weeks before they arrived to the shield world and discovering that particular outbreak. Anyone know anything?
Can I just say how much I appreciate the effort you put into your videos Luc? The way you're always using the perfect Halo OST for the things you're talking about, as well as all the obscure pictures and cutscene usage that can be interpreted as relevant to the thing you are talking about in that moment must take you hours to put together and I really appreciate it.
It's what makes your videos so damn interesting and it's why you're my favorite Halo TH-camr. I see a lot of people often thanking their favorite content creators for their content but I rarely do it tbh. I usually prefer commenting on the topic of the video but idk, I just felt like I had to express it this one time. I've been watching you for YEARS and it feels like you're the only creator that's still passionately giving his voice to try and improve the franchise through your well-deserved platform.
You're the light in the dark right now as I have soooo many issues with how Halo is being handled now and knowing you're out there with the exact same concerns and voicing those concerns on a respectable platform gives me hope so again, from the bottom of my heart; thank you and please keep it up with the lore videos! Every time I think I know all there is to know about Halo, I watch one of your videos and immediately get humbled 💪🏻
Alright fine i'll replay the entire halo series while watching halo lore videos
Congratulations on 600k Luc!! Thanks for all of the hard work and dedication you’ve put into this channel and all of the juicy lore you’ve brought us!
The Alpha Halo outbreak was done in a very terrifying way it takes the first place always for me
It's been a long ass day, and I finally get to kick back and binge some flood lore
I so feel that!
I Just saw,congrats on the 600,000 subs! Absolutely deserved!Now im excited to watch this ICONIC Flood video
Flood Lore and a coffee. What could be better?
"Get rid of The Seaward!"
"I'll leave when I'm good and ready!"
Great video Hiddenxperia showing the chronology of so far deplayed outbreaks of the Flood in Halo. The outbreaks of Site 22, Halo Wars 2, and the Shield World sure does show the efficiency of the Flood both spreading and being able to preserve itself for so many years without extra substance. I like how you are using B.C. I am glad for it.
I think when it comes to infestations and assimilations with ruthlessness, cunning, cleverness, wit, misdirection, potential potency, and hyper cognitive mental abilities four infestation factions are the most similar in sci fi to the Flood.
The Blight from Fire Upon the Deep.
The Beast from Homeworld Cataclysm.
The Infested from Warframe.
And last but not least SCP-610 atleast when it's hyperactive and has a force leading it like Yaldabaoth or Sarkics.
The Beast and Infested are nanobots that turns it's infested host very quickly into whatever it's purposes are, and the Beast can infect ships in seconds and pilot fleets.
The Blight is another machine like intelligence who in Fire Upon the Deep spreads astronomically even through signals somehow if not kept in check by multiple Reality bending phenomenons called Zones of thoughts which surround the galaxy in universe of the book. It can be stopped but it is extremely difficult.
Thanks for making sure that I have a vid ready when I'm about to eat
man, I really needed this today. 30 minutes, how amazing
Congrats on the 600k! Also I always thought it would be cool as hell to make a horror style game from something like the story about the Mona Lisa or a similar setting.
FDA: This should have had a "Do not eat" label on it. That's an infraction.
Another thing about G 617-g is that g is the seventh letter of the alphabet and we all know how much Bungie loves the number seven. In addition to that 6+1=7, 7 is obvious, and the other g is also obvious.
You should make a mega-video covering of all of the Halo lore we know so far. I have a friend getting into Halo, and he wants to know everything. Keep up the great work!
There’s actually another outbreak you didn’t cover: the Flood outbreak on the agricultural support ship, the Infinite Succor, that was assigned to the fleet of Particular Justice. It’s where half-jaw get his distinctive facial scar.
You can’t keep doing this to me. Uploading right before I go to sleep.
I am very impressed with the quality of this video! Well done!!
AYYYYYYYYY!!! 600k baby!!! Well done dude!
Congrats on 600k!
Congrats for 600k subs i love your lore videos
Congratulations brother for 600k
Gotta get up at 4am for work and was scrolling for a video to fall asleep too. Saw hidden dropped another flood video and now my attitude has shifted to sleep is for the weak 😂
Hiddenxperia Do you have a moment? Just a moment is all it will take. I just came to thank you for the video Man XD, obviously I didn't have time to watch it yet tho, for some reason I knew this would be posted, and an F5 later there was the first one on the TH-cam list
Congrats for 600k
I need all these youtube videos available as podcasts I swear I can spend hours and hours listening to him talk about Halo
Hiddenxperia making a new flood lore video : now i shall talk, and you shall listen
Congrats on hitting 600K!
Congrats on 600k!🎉🎉 about time!!! Gonna hit a million this year!!!
HiddenXperia could sit us next to a campfire with a flashlight on his face and tell us flood stories and we WOULD piss our underwear in fear.
26:27 I never knew there was a company in Halo called IMC. That just makes me think of the IMC from Titanfall 2. 😂
Love the content! Former Marine here. There’s no such thing as a “regular” Marine. Just Marine. Hence why we are called Devil Dogs. @Marvin 20:29.
so close to 600k you got this luc
Very Nice! You got 600k I hope I will too one day haha!
*sees title
*sees video is only 30 minutes
*thinks: “How the HELL is he gonna pull this off?!”
I’ll be damned, you actually pulled it off!
The Flood left the galaxy, but we know the Precursors had vanished long before. Who can say whether the dusted Precursor, now the Flood, didn't eventually visit their kin after so many years?
As always, love the flood videos
You know what would have been hilarious? If the final test of the precursors was a show of humility from the forerunners in accepting that they may not be the best choice
any plans to make more SCP content? I've been enjoying it as a supplement
This is easily one of your best videos
Let's go 600k!
600K!! Very Nice I hope I hit it one day!
Thank you for explaining Delta Halo’s outbreak because for years I was trying to understand how the hell it happened. I appreciate you 🫡
Awesome video!
I would say when New Mombasa would be an outbreak, but I mean it was an extension of the outbreak on High Charity.
I think it’s crazy how the theme of the flood is “flood is here, contain it, oh flood again, contain it, right we build rings to wipe them out, nah just kidding contain it” lol
11:38 best quote
Curiosity is the death curse of man. We learn a lot because of it, but also suffer often gruesome and painful deaths
11:40, all i can hear is that Randy Orton meme, "watchout watchout watchout!"
Great video love me some good Ole flood lore. BTW where'd you guys that shirt? Lol 😅
god, the incident on the mona lisa would make for an excellent horror movie
In a way the precursors still helped the humans gain dominion over the galaxy
*We need an ODST based flood survival game!!!*
What about a Marine-based Flood survival game with a tougher-than-Legendary difficulty called "Regret Difficulty"? In Regret Difficulty, cutscenes are unskippable, the Flood kill you with a single slap, walking into airborne spores kills/infects you Dead Space-style, and the game randomly decides to just instakill you because "Flood Neuro Physics, son!" Oh I forgot to mention dying in Regret Difficulty resets your campaign progress (also Dead Space-style) and uninstalls your game. If you somehow beat the game on Regret Difficulty, you get a *common* achievement worth a measly 5G (gamerscore).
To put into perspective what a Dyson sphere does.
It gathers energy from a star and uses it for the infrastructure connected.
Such as long distance transfers of energy and matter that we see often firing from forerunner structures. Mass is the important part.
To understand how the flood could survive we have to understand that the Dyson sphere in this shield world doesn't directly syphon from a star.
The Dyson sphere is more or less placed just beneath the surface of the Star to provide the shield world with its properties. It may not be quite as fast as producing material like a mining installation would be able to. But would be able to produce mass none the less.
Resulting in that of biological matter being destroyed. While converted Promethean knight armor would allow for the flood to burrow into the armor of the shield world. Let the sentinels repair the armor layer before the flood above ripped the sentinel apart for more material against the forerunners. Resulting in massive flood burrows that would look like bear or beaver Burrow's made from forerunner metal allowing for the energy from the Dyson sphere to clash with the energy from the halo array.
To understand the halo array we must understand a wave. A wave comes in sets. For the ocean waves are a given constant.
For the halo array. One massive wave of energy pushed throughout the area of effect of the halo array.
The way the halo array works. Is through critical mass. Particle acceleration. And cascading resonance.
While the Dyson's sphere works through, critical mass, gravitational acceleration, and magnetism.
The energy from both the Dyson sphere constantly critical massing. And the halo array causing one massive cascading critical mass that doesn't breakdown matter through heat. It breaks it down by vibration.
Vibrate mass at a certain level. And biological matter breaks down into it's mineral composites.
This wouldn't out right kill the flood. Just put it into a state of starvation that would last centuries if not millenniums.
Resulting in a More mineral vision of the flood. To the point where the previously before mentioned burrowed converted Promethean knight armors.
Probably what breached the shield world. Allowing the flood that was starving upon the surface to replenish and revitalize the floods force of presence.
Everyone gangsta till the popcorn starts runnin and the dogs start doin coke
