@@guilhermearaujoandradedasi7390 She at first believed the humans to be going against the Mantle as I believe she was a firm believer of the Mantle and its teachings being followed, she was like a blind sheep.

@@agentmaryland1239 Thanks. Another question, have you ever watched Gods of Egypt? If you did, what would happen if Hathor was accidentally brought back but in a futuristic scenario like mass effect 3(for example)?
Not going to lie, since I read the Forerunner saga beforehand, this scene was so touching, and sad, and yet... hopeful. The Librarians plans finally come to fruition, eons after her death...
It’s showed in the terminals. Humanity glassed forerunner worlds first to make sure the flood wouldn’t spread. Forerunners took this as an act of expansion Humanity said why they did it and they didn’t believe them. In all fairness telling a race you slaughtered billions of them for their own safety is pretty hard to believe.
Its true what Zeal said also the forerunner were jealous of humans so even if they where telling the truth they would have killed the Advanced Humans regardless.
Losing ALL 14 children to a war that defined an entire millennia as the primary military commander of the entire Warrior Servant Rate of the Forerunner ecumene is an unimaginably cruel pain for a father to bear for thousands of years. He couldn't even save his own children from the greatest calamity of his time. This was the pain the Primordial fed upon to drive the Didact into the madness we see in Halo 4. He may have been victorious in his victory over the humans, but it was a bitter one with the loss all of his children. Knowing this from reading the books made it emotionally difficult for me to finish the last levels of Halo 4. All I felt for the character was profound pity. Locked away for eons with nothing but the maddening grief of losing his children and his entire civilization to the flood and activation of the Halo Array. I was fighting to kill a grieving father in a video game who was psychologically abused for years by an enemy I should have been finished fighting in Halo 3.
Don't forget, the Librarian had planned to seal the Didact away as a way of healing- letting him connect to the Domain and reconcile with his ancestors and ...descendants. However, with the firing of the new halo arrays, the domain was, unintentionally, destroyed and the Didact was left to his own fraying mind, twisted and perverted by the Gravemind. The Librarian had hoped he would emerge, once again, a noble Promethean as before, but his bitterness and rage for the human race and the rest of his own race-lost to the flood- would not allow him to do so...
@@ImmProxy I’m curious how Cortana was saved by the Domain in Halo 5 if it had been destroyed. Was that a continuity writing error on 343’s part? Or are the books separate from the games?

It’s amazing how mysterious and legendary Halo 4 still managed to make these events. This game, for better or worse, was something different. We could have gotten more games like this. 343, this is how you expand on a series while maintaining the mythological archetypes that make Halo what is.
@@lanceleader163 same tbh. My opinion has already shifted. I’m mad at 343’s need to show absolutely everything. They killed so much wonder and mystery.
@@Fuk99999 I don't understand how though. It wasn't a huge exposition dump like you think it is, and it only gives us more questions than answers. Everything makes sense when you compare it to all the previous Halo titles. It's literally the 4th mainline title in the franchise. You don't need to read any of the books to understand any of Halo 4's story. You can read the books if you want to be more immersed in the lore, but you don't need to read them to understand any of the plot. You just have to pay attention, you know, like with literally any game you play.
“You are the child of my makers, Inheritor of all they left behind. You ARE Forerunner. But this ring is MINE.” - 343 Guilty Spark, attacking Master Chief I love how Bungie was preparing us for the Reclaimer Saga as early as Halo 3. It’s too bad Halo 5 went in such a bizarre, fast-paced direction. And Halo Infinite’s story is so bizarre that it basically recycles themes from the other games without expanding on them.
Exactly the genes that the librarian placed on humans will turn them into forerunners or reclaimers of forerunners hence the ai calling us forerunners or reclaimer
Bungie wasn’t preparing us for anything. Time and time again bungie, through out their games made it clear that humanity were the forerunners. It’s why the covenant were fighting humanity in the first place, we were threatening to up turn their whole religion
You know, I never really thought about this and this is either Chief's altered mental state due to so much going on that's incredibly personal to him or perhaps it's just that the Librarian herself made him feel at ease, but, he let her get so close to him. She's an unknown, a potential hostile, and yet he didn't seem bothered by her getting within arms reach of him.
@@righthanded4009 No, that's not it. The Librarian's intention in locking him away was for the Domain to heal his mind over the course of time, but firing Halo nearly destroyed the Domain, leaving the Didact to stew in his own thoughts and insanity instead. The Librarian didn't know that until right before Halo fired.
As she speaks of hiding seeds to our evolution, it would be cool to see a montage of the Assassins from assassin’s creed leading to Desmond and Layla. Getting the pieces. Then showing the spartan from odyssey morph into Master Chief. Who could survive the physical altercations made to him during his childhood because he was of the forerunner bloodline like Desmond. It started with Spartans, and it will end with Spartans. It only then that you realize that Juno and Minerva both lied. It wasn’t the sun that wiped them out. It was the Halo rings. Juno stops the activation of one after you release her in AC 3. If you want to take it a step farther, when she talks about humanity attaining the mantle of responsibility, show the Guardians from Destiny. looking up at the traveler.
The master chief and the rest if the spartans have the Didacts gene song placed within each of them but they also have the gene songs of the ancient human race within them each and every single one of the humans were as stronger maybe even stronger than the Spartan 2's
At 1:54 you can see the ancient humans being biologically and neurologically devolved to a more primitive state by the Forerunners. It's kind of messed up to know that they experienced losing their memories, intelligence, complexity, and body mass all while being consciously aware of it.
The composer wasn’t designed to stop the endless. It was designed to transfer the forerunner to the Domain (the cloud). Since it couldn’t do that without turning the composed person into a monster, the Didact decided he’d use it to turn humans into his very own monsters. I do think your right though, the composer is the perfect solution to the Endless. A race of beings whose bodies can’t be destroyed, but CAN be contained.
@@ZealStarMedia To bad the composer was destroyed at the end of Halo 4 though. Mass composing isn't necessarily possible any longer, but in theory you could do it on a smaller scale.
The Endless was a terrible added plot point. Makes zero sense. Never mentioned at all until Infinite and suddenly this threat worse than anything. Makes about as much sense as the whole Cortana and the Banished.
Fun fact, the reason that the woman Spartan says, I thought you’d be taller and at the end of the cut scene where Master chief is taller. It’s actually due to his genes being evolution is almost immediately making his height, approximately almost a foot taller than he originally was so he stands around 8 feet tall.
So….you’re saying. The librarian causes all of Halo to happen? She made the covenant form. The insurrection form. Gave Halsey the idea for the Spartan program. Then their armor. Finally a random scientist cracking the code on the Jackals energy gauntlets to give the Chief shields She planned all this war and death for specific. Very specific things to happen? Made sure basically all but one Noble died in an attempt to pass off Cortana and ensure Chief left the planet alive Somehow made it to where the covenant released the flood on the ring to let Chief know about it. Never once told any monitor about them for whatever reason but just hope John didn’t die on Halo Then made it to where all the events of the books before Halo 2 happened. Just so planned that the right Elite became the Arbiter right as their was a heretic to make him start questioning. Along with the right time that Regret made it to Earth then went to Delta halo to be killed so Truth can kill the Elite’s off. I can go on. But she had to plan all of this perfectly which lead to basically the deaths of Trillions. All so one Spartan and AI can come and stop someone who was for all intense and purposes. Going to sleep for ever
Can they just make a movie already that explains everything from start to finish. And what happened to the movies that did come out. Like did they quit? And I know they got paid for those movies.
I’ve been sitting with it for 11 years now but I have to say, while it took me quite awhile to figure out what is going on in this scene (i’m stupid) i do have to say this is pretty cool. She basically said she made him being a spartan possible all along.
The books go more in depth into that and have for a very long time. After the war, humanity was severely deevolved and returned to Earth. The Librarian took a special interest in the human race and included a geas to help guide them, a sort of genetic repository of instructions to help guide them. The Librarian used that to revive her husband the Didact the first time that he was trapped in a Cryptum with the help of the humans Chakas (who later became 343 Guilty Spark, aka The Monitor from Halos 1 to 3) and Riser. Her geas back then were far more expansive and it helped humanity evolve back into a sort of Industrial Age Society, but the firing of Halo ruined that. When she reseeded humanity, she included a new much more subtle geas to help guide humanity's evolution from behind the scenes. Over the course of a hundred thousand years, this led to the evolution of humanity, the Spartan program and Artificial Intelligence. The Composer Immunity was another part of this geas, but she had to activate it. A major part of the geas was the genetic ability to use Forerunner Technology.
@@flatarthur3161 It definitely wasn't stated in Contact Harvest: the Covies were just misunderstanding the symbol for Reclaimer as Reclamation until Mendicant Bias corrected them.
@WarGrowlmon18 "For eons I have watched. Listened to you misinterpret. This is not reclamation. This is reclaimer, and those it represents are my makers. I will reject my bias and make amends. My makers are my masters. I will bring them safely to the Ark." - Mendicant Bias
So.... Why didn't humans just tell the Forerunners about the flood and present evidence so they could both collaborate on dealing with the flood? Just seems dumb on the humans part of they made zero effort to communicate with the Forerunners and inform them of the flood.
I imagine many did. But they weren't part of the forerunner ecumene, so I imagine the forerunners gave them the "we'll investigate your claims.' Spiel. And with how fast flood spread and can break containment, the humans were probably forced to purge whatever worlds they tried to warn, which would make any future mediation impossible.
I'm watching this thing right now. I'm playing Halo 4 and everything and I love it. But for some reason the audio cut I can't hear The Voices.Only the musick can someone help
Jesus Christ how embarrassing, remind me how this game is praised for having a "great story" when this is the level of story telling? 5 gets a lot of shit and rightfully so, but 4 is worse, its bad on every single aspect
@@cxwx4025 its just an exposition dump its long drown out and convoluted. If you cared about the lore before 343 takes over this is also massively contradictory basically retcons all the previous lore. Furthermore the very concept that master chief was chosen and that all of humanities achievements are not their own but rather implanted on their dna is ridiculous boring and undermines the human elements from the franchise . We went from a military scifi to generic predestined chosen one fantasy
Agreed. Halo 4 is a mess and leaves so many questions 1 Why did they imprison the Didact on a shield world where he would be safe from the activation of the halos? 2 Why didn't ALL the forerunner stay on a shield world to survive the halos? 3 Humans were running from the flood sooooo why didn't they just tell the forereunner that? 4 The Librarian planted "seeds" which led to master chiefs armor and cortana? WHAT!? How does planting "seeds" in the human genome lead to us making armor and AI? It makes NO sense. That's literally just off the top of my head I'm sure I can think of more if I played it again.
@@HeyPalski Halo 4 is not a mess at all it laid a great foundation for the books and Reclaimer saga, and I will answer your questions. 1. The didact was imprisoned on requiem after composing mankind by the librarian, she imprisoned him to cure his mind as he was partially broken by The Primordial (a precursor turned grave-mind) and would be allowed to survive in hopes of repairing his mind and guiding and teaching Humanity the Mantle of Responsibility. 2. They somewhat did the remaining forerunners were outside of the galaxy when the halo array went off and re-seeded life after wiping off all the flood and presumably died from old age or exiled themselves. 3. They did. 4. The Librarian states that she deliberately was guiding Humanity to evolve back to what it was, and was surprised at how fast we were climbing back up from our devolution(humanity was forcefully devolved as punishment after the Human-Forerunner war). The seeds are meant to accelerate our evolution even faster so that we could reclaim the Galaxy. if you watched fall of reach Dr. Halsey mentions all Spartan-II candidates had perfect genes, that's not a coincidence. there's trends of this even in bungie's time as in Halo: The Flood, Chief describes a sense of familiarity with Halo's controls. Ancient Humanity was on track to surpass the fore-runners in every way were it not for the Flood. The librarian needed that to happen again only faster. And I believe they would've been way more advanced than all the species in the covenant had the forerunners not left technology on the prophets home world.
@@HeyPalski1. The Librarian wanted the Didact to connect with The Domain so he could heal his damaged psyche, but the firing of the array would have disabled the Domain leaving the Didact to meditate with only his thoughts. 2. Most of The Forerunners were either on Installation 00 or on The Greater Ark when the flood destroyed it. 3 The Forerunners would have believed humanity was lying if they told them they were running. 4. Dont really have an answer to that lol but im pretty sure The Librarian didnt actually plan for The Chief and Cortana specifically, but something like them.
Halo went from grounded military Sci Fi shooter about survival to space wizards having grand plans for humanity with over dramatic writing. And now it has a fanbase that thinks this shit is good story telling.
yeah bla bla bla, i will rather HAVE LORE DUMP than Nothing like halo 5 and infinite. this isn’t combat evolved where you can rely on mystery mystery mystery..

@WarGrowlmon18 "For eons I have watched. Listened to you misinterpret. This is not reclamation. This is reclaimer, and those it represents are my makers. I will reject my bias and make amends. My makers are my masters. I will bring them safely to the Ark."
- Mendicant Bias
watch master chief's darkest secret and you will know what she means by I hid seeds from the Didact
So that’s why he’s tall
Your the chosen one master chief
So.... Why didn't humans just tell the Forerunners about the flood and present evidence so they could both collaborate on dealing with the flood?
Just seems dumb on the humans part of they made zero effort to communicate with the Forerunners and inform them of the flood.
I imagine many did. But they weren't part of the forerunner ecumene, so I imagine the forerunners gave them the "we'll investigate your claims.' Spiel. And with how fast flood spread and can break containment, the humans were probably forced to purge whatever worlds they tried to warn, which would make any future mediation impossible.
I'm watching this thing right now. I'm playing Halo 4 and everything and I love it. But for some reason the audio cut I can't hear The Voices.Only the musick can someone help
It’s not just you. It’s a bug in the master chief collection they haven’t fixed
Turn subtitles on
This is epic
Jesus Christ how embarrassing, remind me how this game is praised for having a "great story" when this is the level of story telling? 5 gets a lot of shit and rightfully so, but 4 is worse, its bad on every single aspect
Why is it bad? Not agreeing or disagreeing with you, I just want to know what makes it bad, and what could make it better
@@cxwx4025 its just an exposition dump its long drown out and convoluted. If you cared about the lore before 343 takes over this is also massively contradictory basically retcons all the previous lore. Furthermore the very concept that master chief was chosen and that all of humanities achievements are not their own but rather implanted on their dna is ridiculous boring and undermines the human elements from the franchise . We went from a military scifi to generic predestined chosen one fantasy
Agreed. Halo 4 is a mess and leaves so many questions
1 Why did they imprison the Didact on a shield world where he would be safe from the activation of the halos?
2 Why didn't ALL the forerunner stay on a shield world to survive the halos?
3 Humans were running from the flood sooooo why didn't they just tell the forereunner that?
4 The Librarian planted "seeds" which led to master chiefs armor and cortana? WHAT!? How does planting "seeds" in the human genome lead to us making armor and AI? It makes NO sense.
That's literally just off the top of my head I'm sure I can think of more if I played it again.
@@HeyPalski Halo 4 is not a mess at all it laid a great foundation for the books and Reclaimer saga, and I will answer your questions.
1. The didact was imprisoned on requiem after composing mankind by the librarian, she imprisoned him to cure his mind as he was partially broken by The Primordial (a precursor turned grave-mind) and would be allowed to survive in hopes of repairing his mind and guiding and teaching Humanity the Mantle of Responsibility.
2. They somewhat did the remaining forerunners were outside of the galaxy when the halo array went off and re-seeded life after wiping off all the flood and presumably died from old age or exiled themselves.
3. They did.
4. The Librarian states that she deliberately was guiding Humanity to evolve back to what it was, and was surprised at how fast we were climbing back up from our devolution(humanity was forcefully devolved as punishment after the Human-Forerunner war). The seeds are meant to accelerate our evolution even faster so that we could reclaim the Galaxy. if you watched fall of reach Dr. Halsey mentions all Spartan-II candidates had perfect genes, that's not a coincidence. there's trends of this even in bungie's time as in Halo: The Flood, Chief describes a sense of familiarity with Halo's controls. Ancient Humanity was on track to surpass the fore-runners in every way were it not for the Flood. The librarian needed that to happen again only faster. And I believe they would've been way more advanced than all the species in the covenant had the forerunners not left technology on the prophets home world.
@@HeyPalski1. The Librarian wanted the Didact to connect with The Domain so he could heal his damaged psyche, but the firing of the array would have disabled the Domain leaving the Didact to meditate with only his thoughts. 2. Most of The Forerunners were either on Installation 00 or on The Greater Ark when the flood destroyed it. 3 The Forerunners would have believed humanity was lying if they told them they were running. 4. Dont really have an answer to that lol but im pretty sure The Librarian didnt actually plan for The Chief and Cortana specifically, but something like them.
I loved this scene when I played the game, it show the true origin of Master Chief. Best game in the series.
The Master Chief is a Forerunner just like the rest of humanity.
This game is so fucking stupid
Your mom
Halo went from grounded military Sci Fi shooter about survival to space wizards having grand plans for humanity with over dramatic writing.
And now it has a fanbase that thinks this shit is good story telling.
@@Nedak2003 your mom
You are dead wrong
yeah bla bla bla, i will rather HAVE LORE DUMP than Nothing like halo 5 and infinite.
this isn’t combat evolved where you can rely on mystery mystery mystery..
Your mom
I love halo 4 but this scene is awful
This cutscene is overhated
