Grunts, to everyone: Am I joke to you?
Everyone: Yes
Le0 90 1 Grunts: PROCEED TO REVOLT
UltraHero588 Grunts: Win.
Halo 2 Spec-op Grunts: what kind of heresy is this?!
Fuel-Rod Grunt: So you have chosen... death.
To be fair the grunts are child slaves and child soldiers
“The only other rank we’ve seen is that of the ranger commander.”
You mean, Bob?
Ah the bob the most annoying prey I've ever had the honor of hunting
The easiest way to kill a bob is on sword base. Save weapons like the rocket launcher and sniper rifle until you go back to sword base. He either spawns at the mission start (the landing area), or on a floor inside the base
@@theoriginalchefboyardee1740 still to me he is an honourable prey
What's special about him?
@@genaralapple4908 he is a gold colored elite ranger who disappears after sometime in missions
1:32 Unggoy Grunts
7:32 Kig-Yar. Jackals/Skirmishers
14:11 Yanme’e. Drones
17:09 Huragok. Engineer
18:46 Lekgolo. Hunters

You forgot the highest rank of the sangheli:
*Bob*
Saluted Firestarter who bob
travis bruno yo boma
darkness bob is a golden elite ranger that spawns sometimes in halo reach missions.
LightMetro also he can be a white elite with randomized armor in one of the missions, I forget which one exactly but it’s one of the later ones
@@arbiterofthehornedrat1570 hallo I am you from the future but more smart
I just realized how cumbersome those elite helmets look. Higher rank comes with higher neck pain.

@@Ankylosaurus_mangiventris I guess that would explain your appearance in 343's Halo games XDXD *please don't kill me*
Thats why sangheili minors are the best rank
Well considering how strong elites are it probably doesn’t bother them much
Thats why they got thicc neccs
20:49 : When one lekgold dies, the other goes berserk
20:50 : Shows the other hunter sneaking for escape
only in H5 the hunters are seen to go berserk in the games, while its been part of halo lore for much longer than that.
kinda makes you wonder what took em so long to implement that
@@solar7427 Has been a feature since h1
Yeah other other hunter will focus on melee once it’s bond brother dies
Hunter: Dies
Lekgold: Ight , Imma head out,
@Andy Gygi 100%, if you kill a hunter, their bond brother will usually stop shooting, charge, and go for a melee kill. It's been a thing since Halo 1, though like everything else it can bug out like what happened in this video.
I had no idea the Yanme'e were that large. Jeses can you imagine a 200lb 6" tall roach flying towards you?
Scary but get some some roach kill spray
And nuclear fire
@@lonivicenti3361 its a guaranteed insta kill
Do you mean 6’
Holy shit I would have to use an battle rifle and gauss cannon against them 6" foot tall cockroaches.
You forgot to include that Xytan ‘Jar Wattinree was 11’6, towering over literally all elites
See in thi way he always has the high ground

Lol great summary🦊👍👍
But you left out the
Prophets: old worm guys who have magic chairs ..
I know these ranks were made almost entirely for gameplay rather than lore purposes, but I always thought it was weird there were no designated pilot classes. I can envision Grunts and Elites that would be given special training to be vehicle and aircraft pilots, and have their own special armor and gear to go along with it.
Also on that note, it is a bit funny how Grunts can pilot some vehicles like Ghosts, but Jackals are never seen in the games piloting or driving anything. Is there a lore explanation for this? Maybe since the Jackals are essentially just pirates and mercenaries, the upper Covenant caste never trusted them with the keys to any expensive hardware.
When the grunts rebelled I feel one of the things the grunts gave as part of coming back was they keep the keys and if the birds get near them they get the hands 🤣
I’ve seen a Jackal pilot a ghost in halo 2 on heroic but the driving was kinda awful tbh
@Colby Dowie I still remember the time kat drove the revenant off the ice bridge in the sword base
As I remember it jackals have very narrow vision, making them good marksmen but bad at any fast reflex combat. This would make sense as their style tends to be sit back and shoot and why they don’t pilot craft and are terrible at melee.
Maybe their anatomy makes it near impossible to do it?

@@missmichelle1290 forgor
Very nice video. Yap Yap The Destroyer actually holds the highest rank in all the galaxy though.
just a pekin duck yes
yes
Yap yaps a clever bastard to
Yap Yap is a god that far surpasses the fourrunners and the precursors.
Yap yap is only in halo wars 2
My monkey brain went and read the thumbnail as "Pranks of the Covenant", and though I'm still fascinated by what's here, I made myself a bit sad that I didn't get to find out how the Sangheili handle April Fools.
Probably Majors bullying Minors who didn't get promoted after their first campaign
I would honestly like to know that now
Yeah, Jackals and Grunts are quite the pranksters with each other...
@@MisterJohnDoe Jackal: it was just a prank
The prank: *KILLING OFF THE ENTIRE METHANE SUPPLY OF THE GRUNTS AND IN THE PROCESS SPARKING A GRUNT AND JACKAL CIVAL WAR*
21:25 I have an ODST guide book and it has a paragraph on gold hunters “Recent combat has revealed gold-armored variants in addition to the usual dark blue of a hunters armor, which while visually impressive, doesn’t see to yield any additional benefits to the Hunters already awe-I pairing combat prowess. Golden hunters attack with fuel rod shots, while blue hunters fire streaks of energy; both are equally damaging.”
Dang now I wanna play Halo: Among Other Media
Halo Canon: juralhanae ultra
Me: BRUTE IS BRUTE
Lol

@@samfire3067 so much fooken blue
Thing that always shocks me the most is the SIZE of all these species. Absolute units, all of them
Battenburg except for the grunts 😉
Battenburg especially the friggin hunters they’re taller than basketball hoops
@@chrisspink8873 they are 4 FEET tall! To me it always seems they are more like 2-3 feet tall
HarryHazza26 Bob yeah I know they’d be massive to us, they just seem small as we look down at them as a 7 foot 3 inches spartan hahaha!
Nytrekkor on average grunts are smaller than the average human, I think that’s pretty obvious when you compare the size of a marine and grunt in halo 3 for example.
I think we all know who out ranks everyone which is
Yap Yap the Destroyer
Japanese: Kill himselfs when they lose a battle.
Elites: Where can I learn this power?
Some elites do the exact same thing. Also samurais do that.
In halo legends, there was a chapter of an arbiter battling in sanghelios, they are shown as sort of samuraiesque society, could also be cus of halo legends being cartoon/anime oriented, but still, very interesting
Japanese: not from the dishonorable
Like I know honor and all that but don’t you have a war to win?
Samurai only commit sepuku under really drastic circumstances. They never did it just cause they lost a fight.
The Brutes' rank structure is the most confusing IMO. Their armour is so damn similar in colour & appearance that I literally cannot tell them apart.
They're either blue or yellow. Tehe only rank I could separate was the Chieften.
Ikr
for Brute Ranks look at their leg armor structure as well as body armor structure
@Kristopher Prime lol yeah but when ur like scouting and being stealthy u can see it
Huh I always thought it was pre easy to differentiate the brutes guess its hard for some ppl
@@lAlacathl as someone who is color blind I never even realised how many ranks there were until this video.
55 minutes huh!? 5 minutes longer than my longest video? Challenge accepted.
Looks like you have found your equal, this battle will be legendary!
Uh oh
Installation00 I’d pay to see it ;)
Installation00
You should do the UNSC version instead of the covenant it would be Legendary!!!
Will 1 of you please do a multi part series on all the different Spartan Fire Teams during the events of the Fall of Reach??? People would kill for it
Man dismissive is an understatement. Hunters will just walk over and crush other covenant without even interrupting their stride.
I got Vietnam flashbacks when I heard Sniper Jackals.
Could you do a unsc version of this, I know there isn't much compared to the covenant, but it would still be cool to see.
Would be tricky with different branches. The UNSC largely does follow aspects of the US military ranking system with a few exceptions.
@Scott Fackrell
They have a Wet-Navy in lore as well. Like to think space is no different than the sea, they both follow the same miltiary doctrine with large vessels, also you can look at our history with colonialism era in the 1700s. So it make sense to just call it the Navy really.
@Cringe Lord I believe they use crewman
Oh god your asking for something that could take a entire day to get right. >.> especially if you you throw in ONI.
@@MJSGamingSanctuary I mean, yeah
Elite Honor Guards always looked the most sick out of the ranks. IMO
You've clearly never seen haka before, that dude was a fucking weeb but he looked sick in that armour with a two handed metal sword
The zealot council member glitch looked pretty sick
ever.... do my boy thel 'vadam like that his fit on fleek
I've always been a huge fan of the Spec Ops design from Halo Reach. The helmet is so sleek and badass.
The golden armor in Halo 3 odst is (what I believe) a queen colony. They shoot different kinds of rounds as the standard Mgalekgolo shoots a fine beam consisting of around 2-3 seconds long, while the golden Mgalekgolo shots individual canon rounds, similar to that of a fuel rod cannon. Also I believe that “she” is slightly Healthier and buff-ier on harder difficulty’s
19:00 Pretty sure we see 1 Sangheili Ultra in Halo CE, during the Silent Cartographer mission, there is an elite that gets stuck behind the doors leading into the cartographer facility when you initially try entering and the doors shut and lock.
If you look at him through a scope (or get lucky with a plasma grenade and kill him) before the doors close, you can see the armor and helmet matches that of the Ultras.
No. That's a zealot
36:53 don't think I didn't see those plasma throws lmao
I just can’t imagine the drones being almost seven feet tall. That’s just insane!
honestly i'd love to see a halo game where you play as a marine of normal height, having grunts only be about a foot shorter than you and elites towering over you would be cool as hell
or just a remake of ODST with proper height scaling and no supersoldier strength lol
@@Catnippy ODST pretty much does that
@@Catnippy and even then, humans average height in the games is 190 cm for males and 180 cm for females. Covenant are just damn huge.
@@Catnippy we definitely need another ODST game but sadly there is nobody to do it. I hate 343
@@Catnippy Fifth, highest difficulty level:
Difficulty - Marine (higher than Legendary)
Description - You are a rank-and-file Marine in UNSC service. You face an almost impossible challenge as hordes of powerful giant aliens seek to deliver you a gruesome death. Fight with honour and glory as you march towards your inevitable demise.
Difficulty effects - Realistic height scaling, no shields, no motion sensor, realistic ammo carrying capacity, a single nearby grenade is virtually a guaranteed death
I love the NPCs in Halo reach everything about them is amazing to me
I love how the ranks are soo diverse and distinct of the covenant. Don't know how many languages they speak.
Take a shot every time Ian says "among other media".
Yap Yap the destroyed
Emphasis on “known” because they’ll probably add ranks for achievements until you get a name that takes 45 minutes to say. Plus nepotism
So they become Custodes?
Durandol Yes. Kitten it is.
I commonly consider myself a halo guru. I’ve been with this most of my life..... I have studied this series for almost a decade now. It will be in May of 2021. I had literally no idea that the skirmishers species name was the t’vouen! New information to unravel! Thank you!
Just wanted to note at 39:20 an Elite minor is accompanying Rtas during his meeting with the prophets. I always found it a little strange that an Elite Minor would be worthy of being in a private meeting with the Covenant hierarchs.
Plot Twist: He’s the same elite minor you can play as in Halo 3 co-op.
yeah...it is plausible he is a trusted warrior. Rtas made it clear that he cared greatly for his troops
Oh, that one Brute Chief you fight at the Ark-Cartographer had a name and backstory?
Ah it was a short story from a canon fodder years ago.
I always found it odd how that seemed like a cut boss fight
Funny thing is I always kill him before he runs away and gets to the area where all the jump brutes are, normally a have a plasma cannon and shoot him down from the second floor where all the invisible brutes are.
@@jerome0929 bruh. Have some class and sidestep his gravity hammer like an anime character and le teleport behind him and backsmash hum
I gravity hammered his skull in with a magnum
2:23 I would really like a novel or short story of the grunt rebellion showing the event in more detail. It would be very cool to see this covenant only event.
A game of it would sure be awesome
Or a game to but if it was it would be a spin off.
@@jacoblewis5230 yeah
Bruh imagine you got to play as a grunt
@@TAR-sl2ox there’s a glitch on halo 2 where you play as a grunt but I believe you have to have a second player. Also there’s mods that allow this as well

This is why I love your videos. They're so in-depth.
I like that you kept all the info on screen with the border, while also showing the video clips of the units (audience can watch clips or when not interested they can read the info on screen). Keep it up!
Who else thinks that the Brute Honour Guards should have made a brief return when you and the flood make your way across the brute infested bridge at the end of The Covenant? And these Brutes would be the toughest in the game, making your last encounter with the Covenant a memorable one
Unggoy Heavies during legendary gruntpocolyse custom firefight is about the most scariest thing beyond Jackal Halo 3 Snipers lol
if someone tells me they aint scared of Halo Reach Noob Tube wielding grunts they dead lying lol

Ahh. Love a good, long lore video.
Been putting this on for 10 mins here and there when I’m waiting on something or just have a few minutes. Good stuff!
This video is very informative and to the point, also very good layout. I’ve been brought up on this game and I’m not exactly a hardcore fan but I did enjoy the halo games and to see the franchise that I’ve grown up with to fall like it has is really sad. Hopefully infinite can fix 343s past mistakes. Keep up the work you deserve a lot more likes for this amount of effort.
I want the skirmishers back
We killed almost all of them on reach
Mikhael Hebert
Almost!
The Tvaoans could have been on multiple different asteroids...
@Sakkra101 Well sometimes I would accidentally fire on friendly Elites because they and the Brutes both showed up as tall blue blobs in my peripheral vision, so maybe having actual enemies on your side isn’t such a good idea for friendly fire.
I heard they're gonna be in Infinite.
I remember reading about some piece of lore talking about unggoy merchants that had jewels on their methane tanks/harness
Its actually in the book “Contact Harvest”. When the 3 prophets we see in the games are having their ascension ceremony a few Grunt Merchants described exactly as you did show up.
@@laughingbeans7715 thanks man I knew I read it somewhere haven't read contact harvest in a long time
Thanks for the great video, Ian. Liked how you explored the Anniversary versions too!
I find it hilarious that the covenants entire “activate the rings for the great journey” was impossible without humanity
Damn you man! The hype was instant the moment I saw this!
Covenant Canon can u do a vid on the the Sangheili language
Covenant Canon and like how to use the triangles in a sentence
destiny nakei You mean the Covenant symbols for their alphabet?
PackHunter117 both
PackHunter117 it’s very interesting to learn both .halopedia has a good diagramme but it’s confusing
This premiered 117 minutes ago that’s made my day
Marine: “What did you do on Halo after the pillar of autumn crashed?”
Chief: “I killed a bunch of minors then left.”
Marine: “holup?”
Fascinating video, one thing that could have been mentioned though, as talked about in some of the more recent books about the Silent Shadow: They function as the Secret Police of Sangheili command structure, which I thought was fascinating. Even Shipmasters and Fleet Masters that saw a First Sword of the Silent Shadow boarding their ship feared for their lives, knowing that there would be little they could do to stop a First Sword from removing them from their command, by force if necessary.
Wow, I never realized how much the lower rank brute armor all looked the same. it looks really bad to see just one blue colour defining all of them. A bit of crimson like elite major would have been nice.
The Brutes were last minute additions in Halo 2 story. But the EU and other stuff have diverse their armor a bit.
@@elijahwatson3474 I meant by in halo 3. It's just them wearing more armour but they just all blend into this blue mob.
@@TheLastSterling1304 I honestly didnt notice the armor or toughness diffrence in the blue armored brutes. Even on legendary.
Ryan To that’s more because the armor variants
Do agree more colours would be good
Elijah Watson Halo 2 Brutes have different fur colors based on Rank. He’s talking about 3.
One notable difference between the gold mgalekgolo and the regular blue ones is that the gold seem to only shoot one fuel rod shot rather than the consistent line.
So CE’s?
James Burgess wdym?
Nation Infact it’s the only difference and the reason they are Gold.
@@tylerellis9097 in CE they shoot fuel rod shots whereas in Halo 2-3 they shoot streams instead of fuel rods. In Reach and H4 they go back to fuel rod shots and in h5 they either shoot fuel rods or multiple mini homing ones. Because Halo 3: ODST uses halo 3 assets, the generic blue hunters have particle cannons that shoot streams whereas the gold hunters, commonly called spec ops hunters by fans, shoot fuel rod shots in a game where they would otherwise shoot streams.
Tubby Duck They’re Gold cause they’re a new variant added for ODST. The only difference between it and the Blue Hunter is the projectile it shoots.
It’s not a Spec Ops Hunter come on really.
This is an awesome video. I've been wanting to see halo content like this for a long time.
I killed an “elite hero” in halo reach firefight once. Was blastin so hard didn’t even know it was a different rank until after. Is that supposed to be bob?
I'd like to see a sentinel ranks along with the Prometheans.
Alright so we have super small sentinel, small sentinel, and big sentinel. Then in Halo wars I we get medium and smaller-but-not-smallest Sentinel and in Halo wars II we get super big sentinel.
Man really had me watch a video on covenant ranks at 1 am. But, like I’d do it again.
This was a fantastic video sir. Very well put together and comprehensive. Thank you for the content!
32:21 Sangheili Ranking system start
Can you review older halo books like contact harvest and ghost of onyx because I want to hear what you think about them
Yes!!!!!
Bobby Hamner that would be awesome
If he had read them he’d know he got a lot of the info about Tartarus wrong. He was not the first chieftain. His uncle was, read Contact Harvest.
@@kusovia1148 I thought he meant first as in the first one we see.
@Scp 173 hi
You reckon it would be possible to do a Promethean version of this? I understand how difficult and long this would've taken to make, but we really don't get much info about the Promethean, it would be nice for someone to shine some light on them.
Prometheans don’t have ranks other than Captain and Normal like Soldier captain, Crawler captain, and Knight captain.
Excluding Firefight ranks. That would be a long list considering they have many name Variations.
Dude who cares about the prometheans though?
@@paperclip6377 me
@@atlas9852 Same here. Though it'd likely be less of a Knights Rank video and more of an "All Prometheans" video. I have noticed at least 3 Promethean Knights in Halo 4: Smooth back, spiky back, and glowey back. I think the glowing back is called a Knight Battlewagon? Idk, just heard it somewhere. There's regular and alpha (spiky) crawlers, and I don't think watchers have a ranking system. Halo 5 is the only Halo I'm not really a fan of, so I don't know about the human-sized Promethean soldier things.
Didn't Arbiter (Thel Vadam) hold the position of Supreme Commander during Halo CE and the beginning of Halo 2? He led all of the Covenant forces during the attack on the first Halo.
Thank you for spending countless hours on this video that clears up a lot! Says a lot when the final video is almost an hour long
This is one of the most comprehensive and well-researched videos I've ever seen. Great job man! As always!
I feel sorry for the human who discover what the San’Shyuum was like during the Forerunner days. I probably would have nightmares for days with that knowledge.
ONI would know.
Its quite possible that the San'Shyuum looked differently than how they currently do, which could explain why they were considered beautiful. They look the way they do now because of massive inbreeding due to the limited population on High Charity
im bad at life Master Builder was huge asshole and fucked them over after the Human-Forerunner war. The inbreeding was a long term effect of stuff.
@Straight Busta I like your style. It's a disgusting style, but I like it.
prophet so hot n spicy it gave me the logic plague😩😫
This channel is criminally underrated. I’d like to point out the amazing editing.
Such a dope video. Knew nothing about canon an played lots of CE, 2, 3, 4, ODST, reach, and playing wars the most. Thanks for the vid
I’d kill for a book about the Kig Yar resistance against the covenant.
Honestly I’d love the Jackals to be fleshed out more in general
James Burgess yeah, jackals are really interesting, and they have a lot of potential.
Jackal run black markets on High Charity anybody?
@@Definitely_Dave especially since after and during the human covie war, pockets of them had colonies where humans and species of all kinds traded, both normally and black market, and were peaceful with each other, and were distanced from the war for the most part.
@@space_racc the war was actually tiny in comparison to the covenant considering unsc space is where it was fought
I hate the Brute Minor - Major - Ultra armor schemes in Halo 3. The colors and patterns are too similar to one another for me to differenciate them on the field. Plus Blue just isn't a fitting color for Brutes, I prefer the higher ranking Brute colors like Brown, Red, Grey and the like, makes them much more intimidating than the mellow royal blue colors.
This video makes me want to get back into playing the series, one that I’ve always liked
This was incredibly informative and enjoyable to watch, thanks man!!
It's kind of disappointing that almost all of the Brute ranks in Halo 3 wear armour that is so similarly styled and coloured. It's really difficult to actually pick out the various sub-ranks in gameplay.
You and me both. Gathering footage for some of them was and absolute chore.
16:45 HiddenXperia playing firefight: "That is a Satan I didn't know existed, Drones with Plasma Rifles... wha, AND shields? What the f***!
If the Covenant had attempted to understand Humanity as an enemy, I wonder if Yanme’e would’ve been used more frequently on Earth, due to their psychologically terror-inducing bug-like appearance. Imagine the sheer terror that loosing an army of buggers on a city like New Mombasa would create in people, as opposed to the military might of the Sangheili or the, uh, brutality of the Jiralhanae.
Also, I imagine Lekgolo, as opposed to Mgalekgolo, could cause a lot of damage along these lines. I’d guess the gold Mgalekgolo are the ones of the pair that are higher-ranked, or the one of the pair that existed before the other, with the blue ones being the lower-ranked.
The skirmishers actually reappear in halo infinite
Very late comment but the video was made before the release of infinite
Really makes me wish that all the halo games had this diversity of units :(
They do, this whole video is talking about ranks from the Halo games
Splendur many of these are from lore tho
@@JaWalrus oh no what I meant is all of these in a single game!
Okay first off, cool to know that the white Honor Guard in the Mega Bloks spectre set is actually a canon rank. Guess I never noticed them in Halo 2.
And second, Ian how bored are you in quarantine?
I miss that white Honour Guard
Not too bored. It's not all that different from my regular day-to-day
*MeGa BLoKs? LeGoO RiPPoFf!*
If you never noticed honour guard in halo 2 then you havent finished the campaign. Theres one or two missions where theres litteraly only honour guard elites
@@iamyourmom2 He means the White one
Which exists only as a glitch and actually changes depending on the playthrough.
Also what mission has only Honour Guards as enemies
Covenant: Has complex ranking systems that take veteran warriors of different species decades of violent wars to rise through
One green spartan: So anyways I started blasting...
Plasma grenade: I’m ‘bouta end this general’s whole career.
Yo great video my dude 👌 had a great time watching this!
I'm a new subscriber and I absolutely love your content! I know this video probably took a long time to make so I really appreciate it! I just played through all the campaigns on Halo MCC and wow your videos make it 100% better!
Saw the jackle instantly got ptsd
Such a great video! Love how descriptive it is🔥🙌🔥
Great video and there are so many ranks
What about Kaidon? I know it’s basically a political rank but you also mentioned the High Councilors so it probably should’ve been included. This is a long and spectacular video though so I know it’s really easy to forget a few things here and there.
Edit: My bad, Kaidon is not a recognized rank in the Covenant only in Sangheili politics.
Love hearing you deep dive into some Halo lore!
Tis helped me with ranking people in my Covenant clan. Thank you for making this!
Every time a plasma grenade missed in the gameplay footage I cringed.
I didn't know the chieftan that challenges you on the ark had a name. let alone ambitions
GrowlingScarab7 I kill that fucker in the room with the invisible brutes with a plasma canon before he runs off.
You didn't include Yap-yap THE DESTROYER
Is that cannon?
Osiris Mau always has been
Yap-Yap is a decon
31:16 The covenant literally had to have parental control settings on their ships when brutes were at the helm lmao
TH-camr: makes halo content
Audible: Now this looks like a job for me
I thought the intro said "this video was brought to you by arbiter"
You might as well do a battle tactics series where you examine the roles and lore and do hypothetical battles.
CRYPTO!!!
Halo Reaches Sangheli rank armor orientation was amazing
I’ve had this video in my watch later folder since it came out and I’m just now watching it
