Imagine if the reason why Sangheili sword ,including the energy sword, is designed with two distinct blades capable of being effective with thrusting motion was designed for the purpose of penetraiting both hearts or lungs.
That makes sense to me.
In all my years that ive geeked out about halo and its elites, i never once thought of this, what the actual f- LMAO
Nice find!!
Plus, given how big the sword is in general, even to an Elite's torso. It's definatly made for killing even their own.
@@shcdemolisher considering they're a feudal Japan-like society, this makes sense.
@@ArgentWolf95 I wonder if they had something like the hido kagidai i know that I butchered the pronunciation of it but I am meaning the age of war
This channel literally makes me feel the same way I feel when I read the novels. I instantly get lost in it and get a sense that the Halo universe is real. Great job dude!!!!
Exactly how I feel!!
my man , what novels would you recommend ?
I was just talking with my friend a couple days ago about the Halo 3: ODST live action trailer. That shit was amazing.
It really screwed with my young boy brain. It made me feel like it was all real. I miss that.
Thank you for this excellent video! So many Halo content creators have let their disappointment in Infinite completely alter not only what they produce on their channel, but how they talk of the franchise as a whole. It's so refreshing to have someone like you coming up with creative ways to keep the franchise alive when others are jumping ship.
New sub, like, and I'm gonna go through your uploads rn to see if you have autopsies for the other creatures in the Halo universe. (fingers crossed for a Jiralhanae, but that may require several tables pushed together and a few people for such a large being LOL)
I literally just found it and...same. I have a halo tattoo not because of the games persay, but because of the story and lore. THIS stuff.
“…Or at least kicking them in the nuts isn’t viable…”
Master Chief: noted
This is one of the coolest ways to break down an alien species I've ever seen. I was totally invested in the autopsy, and when the mortician discovered the hepatic musculature and realized what it was for, and tied it back into Halo lore and what we see in game, I got literal chills. Definitely more of this please.
Dude, 100% with you on that. It was a super cool inclusion.
What does it mean? What part i mean
Wdym by tying back the liver muscles to what we see in game?
@@scott-gaming.8834 the call back to the game is the breathing animation of the elites, it’s over pronounced even when the elite is just standing there.
"...at least past that kicking them in the nuts isn't a viable option," got a genuine lol from me.
This is top-tier TH-cam. A sincere thank you for your efforts in creating this content.
As someone who works in a hospital pathology lab, I love this stuff! Please do more, hopefully of a Jiralhanae.
Might as well watch a gorilla autopsy, Jiralhanae are so boring as it gets for Halo Xenobiology.
@@kogachan33 Human biology is fascinating and I see them every day. I’ve dissected a locust, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to see one of these about the Yanme’e.
@@jedijam91 Don't get me wrong. I mean it's still interesting, I'm just saying for specifically halo it's kind of boring
@@kogachan33 eh i disagree brutes are the coolest race in halo
@@kogachan33 i want a Halo "Metroid Prime" like game, its a good template
This reminds me of the recent XCOM games where you get to do an autopsy on every alien after killing it for the first time. Maybe they ought to make an XCOM style halo… shit would be epic.
id prefer a classic xcom/xenonauts style, get really in depth with it, have insurrection and all the good fun
Yeah!! That would be awesome! Controling infantry, seeing the hardship of combat, and many other things that you could do with it. Maybe finding exiled covenant members who fled, sort of like the banished but with different goals. Or a colony that was rediscovered that had not only survived a covenant attack but becuase of the scism, formed an alliance with their former enemy. A sort of hybrid of ex-covenant/UNSC hybrid of a society.
Just so much potential!
This is an X-COM: Enemy Within/ Xcom-2 style autopsy and done really good.
Speaking of X-COM 2. I actually know a mod that has playable elites, though they're Halo 4/5 artstyle ones.
Im pretty sure there’s still a really well made Halo mod for xcom. Should check it out if that’s your style. After all, we all know it’s only the modding community and massive loyal fan base that’s actually keeping Halo alive at this point.
@@zeroniner1383 oh im very aware halo is practically a community rescue, im apart of a halo group trying to restore and continue the tabletop game, halo ground control, and am personally (re)writing a skirmish team based spinoff of said game
this is a gnarly breakdown, and I'm in awe at the depth of knowledge and understanding of various subjects portrayed here.
The fact that ripa moramee can get so angry he gets mad hops, fal chavamee can take on an entire army by himself and thel vadam can survive pretty much anything. It's just goes to show that some elites are in fact built different.
Dude please don't ever let the state of Halo stop you. You're the type of person who cares enough that you should be involved in the actual franchise in a developmental capacity. Always enjoy your videos man, keep up the good work
I love this take on your usual style of breakdown. The in-universe perspective makes it even more fascinating and really makes it feel real. The fact that you've managed to compile all the known facts of the Sangheili and been able to draw conclusions from what is presented to us (especially when their appearance has differed a lot throughout the franchise) is truly impressive. I hope you consider making more autopsy breakdowns in this format, preferably of maybe Unggoy, Lekgolo or Huragok (would love to see your corpsman scratch his head at the "biology" of something technically not even biological lmao). Keep up the amazing work
Someone should show 343 this, and hope they PAY him to do more of these.
@@shaybaker9176 I already regard his videos (even though they are partially speculative) as just canon
@@emilkaapola7191 Very much agreed, I just think he deserves to be paid by 343 directly for this stuff.
@@shaybaker9176 At this point he should be made CEO of 343 and command the 343 development team to make the greatest halo game in existence.
Don't forget Kig-Yar :3
Very entertaining and informative.
Note to self: kickin’ em’ in the balls ineffective.
A lekgolo (Hunter) autopsy would be interesting. They supposedly feed on metal, and they must have some way to connect to and communicate with other lekgolo extremely quickly. The might even specialize into different structures (ie certain worms work as brains, others as muscles, etc) in the same way that cells do in plants, animals, and fungi!
I agree! I have a theory that the worms are trans-tactile empataths. Basically, they communicate by touching each other and basically each worm is like a neuron in a brain.
@@AS-fp4gb I imagine they're like hagfish with nerves very close to or maybe even breaching the skin in places, and whatever they coat themselves in like a hagfish would probably is similar to whatever their brains are suspended in, like cerebrospinal fluid
@@xXx_Regulus_xXx Disgusting. I love it, and I think our ideas could potentially coexist.
Subject XS-02:
SUBJECT: Xenoform-Sangheili Item 2
Love the clinical id, fits so well
Except at this time we didn't have Covenant translations for their names.
@@extremosaur still kind of perfect coincidence though?
@@extremosaur the guy literally said they are called Sangheili or "Elites"
My imagination was working overtime listening to this and trying so hard to compensate for my limited knowledge of biology, especially speculative xenobiology. 00 is an absolute master at his craft, and I actively await any project he commits to.
i'm surprised at the lack of speculation on the part of the doctor that the dual hearts may be the reason for the shape of the blade of the energy swords that the sangheili use. because the blades were formed that way for someone to be able to hit both hearts simultaneously with a single thrust.
I got chills hearing this... Wow... I wish there was more episodes like this
Fascinating, just fascinating.
Detailed xenobiology in sci-fi a rare gem.
Would love to see a Kig Yar autopsy
Talking about the actual measurements of 8 ft tall and 370 lbs really puts into perspective how large they are. In the games they seem "average height" since they are pretty much your alien mirror, but they are absolutely massive compared to normal people.
Yeah their average height is 8'6. They should also weigh two times more than that realistically lmao
I absolutely loved this, threw me right back to biology class and the ending where you get called away to report your findings really had me feeling like this was part of the world.
Now I have a fun head-canon of 00 job-hopping his way through the UNSC at the height of the war, ever inconvenienced by meetings
24:41 my assumption is that the twin hearts is for redundancy kinda like the chestplate like upper ribs and sternum. The twin hearts is likely also the reason for the Energy Swords twin prong like blade design. It’s meant to be stabbed into the chest where each of the prongs stabs one of the hearts.
That’s a pretty cool fun fact actually :)
That's stupid as hell. The double blade is a real world design it's intended to trap an opponents blade between your own to either disarm them or break their blade
@@blueguy2128 perhaps, though maybe the twin prongs being useful for trapping an opponent’s blade is just a nice side advantage while the “one prong for each heart” is the main reason or vice versa.
@@blueguy2128 ok, but look at the energy sword's hilt (really more of an emitter I suppose). I don't see how the modern version of their swords would function that way, unless there's some as-yet uninvented lore about how crossing the inner edge of the blades with another sword deactivates them for...some reason. maybe on sangheili swordbreakers were seen as so advantageous they became the standard though, who knows.
@@xXx_Regulus_xXx My dude disarm means disarm not deactivate. If that's a primary sword then yeah, because their secondary blade is one blade not a 2 pronged blade and Sangheili morphology allows for them to twist their wrists more rather than fold it like we can because they have 2 thumbs. So that makes a double pronged blade a great answer to common single pronged. I doubt the covenant are the only species in the galaxy that use energy blades as the covenant have conquered and integrited hundred's so the Elites two pronged blade is very relevant outside of fighting amongst themselves
This is brilliant, I've never seen a fictional autopsy done so well, aside from a few in some sci fi's such as the recent X-COM games Enemy Within and XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. This is exactly as I'd expect a Sangheili autopsy to go mate. Your knowledge of science, your philosophies, and Engineering knowledge you displayed (far greater than me) enhances this so much.
Also great use of Mass Effect's Project Lazarus and Deus Ex: Huma Revolution (it seemed similar, correct if wrong) augmentation imagery as well.
Your ability to explain the scientific details and make them understandable is great, you have many skills!
I'd love to see a video done on Jackels/Skirmishers next.
Second this.
This was absolutely fascinating to listen to. You’ve done an excellent job, particularly in how you’ve explained in game behaviours, like the elite’s heavy breathing, with an interesting, but aptly alien physiology.
Also shout out how you told this like an in universe autopsy discovering more with the doctor and making assumptions with him was oddly enjoyable. Would love to see more of this approach.
The aliens bungie made for halo have always been one of the most creative in fiction and always been at the core of the games. I’m glad to see them getting expanded in this way.
Lastly I just want to say I like how you have compared Elites specifically with crocodiles. They have always have a very reptilian look to them but I specifically think your comparison really adds to their mystique and realism as opposed to just being plain reptiles.
I was utterly fascinated until the "Past kicking them in the nuts isn't viable" line.
Thank you for hurting my sides. I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. Brilliantly delivered.
You know, you're literally the only Halo TH-camr still putting effort into their content. It's remarkable the amount of time and effort you put in. I don't always have time to watch but anytime I do, I'm always fascinated by your content. Keep up the good work man.
It'd be great to see more videos like this, all the species and sub species of all creatures in Halo universe means the possibilities are endless. Looking forward to further autopsies. Just don't end up in midnight facility xD
As someone who loves to learn about the inner workings of all kinds of things, I really enjoy the MDBs & Armoury videos that you put out.
This video is no exception, and your ability to speculate on the biology of fictional species shows just how passionate you are about both Science & Halo.
Massive respect to you & your dedication 🫡
PS: Can we get a another autopsy MDB, this time for the Jiralhanae?
Ain’t no point in dissecting a Brute cause all you’d find is a buncha nanners in their stomach 🤪
I'm revisiting the novels right now. Thankfully, there's millions of years of lore to analyze. Do Hurogok and Kig Yar, next. Awesome channel. Wasn't able to see the entire episode. Nice tie in to Kilo 5 with the hypothesis concerning the grain followed by a call from Osmond.
The Lekgolo dissection will just be 6th grade science class
@@711desmond Each individual Lekgolo worm must have very complex nervous, endocrine, and circulatory systems in order for them to function as part of a gestalt super organism.
Why are you using the PC names lol
@@extremosaur that's what they're called. Not PC, it's lore accurate
@@Reyma777 Scarabs come to mind. Are Lekgolo "application" specific? Can Hunters combine with Scarabs?
These are questions that keep me awake.
a lack of an external ear also prevents altitude perception in hearing. so moving on high or lowground is advisable.
mechanicaly preventing oxigen from entering the lung, rather than CO poisoning, would still work for asphixiation. so choking out an elite is technicaly possible, especialy with bloodfliw to the brain being restricted. but the strenght and neck rib structure would make it excedingly difficult.
2 kidneys and a liver? Perhaps a drinking contest would be the most viable way to "dispatch" a Sangheilli for unmodified humans
Finally! You've been talking about this vid in VCs for 1-2 months now, glad to see it's out
(...mandatory first comment spiel, etc. etc.)
Can you do one of these from the perspective of the covenant autopsying a spartan
Ooh, what Species would be performing it? A Prophet overseeing a skilled Grunt surgeon, perhaps?
This may be the best video of yours that I've ever seen. You always manage to raise the bar for halo content quality and it's seriously impressive. Excellent work. Halo hasn't entertained me like this in a long, long time. Thanks for fixing that.
Dude as a Hospital Corpsman First class, that detail made me giddy. I love it bro
I feel like an ONI Intel lackey watching the autopsy and taking notes for people who gets paid way more than me.
Thank you for the upload man 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Y’all need to be liking these videos like the quality and time put into it is insane
Seriously need more "in universe" style videos like this. Freakin amazing bro
Would love one of these with a flood combat form or something. An ONI agent going into detail on just how wildly the flood twists its hosts bodies would be great
I can imagine a gross section where the dead infection form is pulled out and it's tentacles are still latched on to the spine of the infected victim.
I would like to see more most detail breakdowns on the alien's of halo
Now I need to see an elite walking by a human zoo and seeing a crocodile or an alligator..."humans are MONSTERS!"
Then see a monkey and get mildly confused. Or get a laugh, since brutes look far closer to some primates
Purple Hemerythrin Blood in Marine Worms and Blue Hemocyanin in Mollusks are really fascinating to learn 'normal' creatures from this planet are already so varied in their make up.
I always love creators going that extra mile in taking what we know and creating creatures so beautifully real.
Dude, since I watched the Mjolnir Mk V Full Breakdown, I was completly amazed by your way of explaining technology that doesn’t exist yet, while making the Mk V Armor sound like a technology relic for us, instead of the games where tend to portray the Mk V as “Obsolete”
I dont think I ever got to actually hear this video start to finish. This was insanely remarkable and I'd undoubtedly would revel in the possibility of getting more content like this. So clinical and informed, the rich detail and exquisite immersion. Thank you for this.
Did we really just get a scientific explanation for an idle animation? I love it
This was incredible! I hope to see you do this for every Covenant species. It was fascinating, and I loved hearing it all. I hope that someday, someone will actually animate this.
This has got to be the best character/design breakdown video I have ever seen. Making it in-universe with little tidbits of acting and context is absolutely genius.
I've always wondered if the elites had hooves (one of the chapters in H2 is literally named "your ass, my size 24 hoof) or claws on their feet, as clearly shown by that freak of a arbiter in the first Halo Wars.
Incredible presentation. I greatly appreciate the fact that you not only go 10 extra miles to rationalise stylised physiology.But you also ground the inherent traits in reality. Very nice touch placing the procedure early in the conflict as well. It makes the remarks your character makes more explanatory rather than condescending in nature, as you are breaking it down for grunts. You deserve the budget and resources that were waisted on that TV show. Halo got incredible talent in its community. And even if it won't sometimes seem like it, you should know that your extensive effort is greatly appreciated.
Love how you presented the autopsy, you never cease to show your adaptability as a content creator.
This feels so amazingly real. I’m a huge nerd for the smallest of details. Showing how clever it is
I cannot wait for the other members of the Covenant to have their own respective breakdowns. The information is soooo interesting as well as giving a good insight on how these races work within the Halo Universe
33:12 gotta admit that hearing the surgeon mention that kicking an elite in the nuts wouldn't be a viable option in a combat situation kinda made me laugh 😆
Always brightens my day to see a new 00 video.
I am impressed with the accurate use of anatomical terminology.
26:22 I’m guessing for the immune cells the scan just found the closest counterparts. There may be differences like unique immune cells that they have or immune cells they don’t have.
So this is amazing. Please do a series where you're covering all species encountered in Halo.
It'll be pretty interesting to see how you'd cover the grunt birthday skull within the autopsy
You really should make more of these, eventually. It would be interesting to have a Grunt autopsy video.
I think it would be great to do an autopsy with a flood infected elite or human: perhaps including a horrific body cam footage back story regarding the patient under autopsy. Just food for thought :)
I love getting to learn more Halo information, especially about some of the most badass species in this story universe. And to hear it stylized as an in universe autopsy adds to the immersion. Thank you Installation00.
You knocked it out of the park here. Amazing.
I was entranced for the entire time!!
I am so proud and jealous at the same time. You are doing well, thanks for letting us in to your vision 🫡
Fantastic! I have always wanted to have this done. You even got some medical terms right.
Really interesting that the Sangheli have such low fat reserves, or at least this one did. The caloric demand for such a biologically expensive lifestyle would be extreme. Muscle mass is huge, and cognition is probably similar to demand in humans, which is to say around 300 to 400 calories (That is just to think by a normal American adult on a normal day mind, humans in combat require about 3 to 4 thousand calories a day to function, cognition demand likely increases too). An athletic human male who is six feet tall and weighing 200 pounds maintaining a high muscle mass who works out three to five times a week requires about thirty-two hundred calories a day. The hypertrophy a normal elite would have to engage in to nurture themselves so much would be extreme. They would have to eat a truly gargantuan amount of food.
Furthermore, they are doing it by a largely carnivorous diet, their intestines are very short, so they lack flexible options for forage, and make poor use of non animal matter nutrition.
ONI making war on Sangheli supply ships, supply chains, and poisoning any food stuffs would be essential to the war effort, in my opinion. Such an expensive animal would be desperate for food, especially with how starved these frontline troops tend to be.
Just for reference, a Grizzly bear maintains about 30 to 40 percent body fat depending on the season. Fat is highly important for the health of earth animals, I am really curious where the split lips are getting their energy from.
Simple, they get energy from _Righteous zeal._ Also a comic I've read has shown that the covenant has entire ships dedicated to growing crops and livestock in an artificial biosphere, which they probably pump full of god knows what to make them grow bigger and faster. How many they have with each fleet is unknown but before it was lost to the Flood, there was at least one in the fleet present at Installation 04 during Halo CE. I'd assume they probably have a few of these accompany any sizeable fleet as the covenant know full well that their ships are faster and stronger than humanity's, and therefore if they can't destroy a threat, they can outrun it.
I LOVE the in universe styling of doing this. Love love love it. Been waiting to see this since you first talked about it and would adore more pieces like this. I have no idea if we actually have enough biology data for other covenant species beyond speculation for this to be done with... But seeing a project like this for all viable Covenant species would be awesome. Thank you once again for your hard work, acting and writing, 00.
Really enjoyed your vocal delivery of this video, you sound like a doctor giving a report rather than your normal bombastic style. Excellent video.
I've been familiar with your content for a while, but this is the video that made me subscribe. I legitimately sat and watched the whole thing in one go. Exceptional work, my guy! I would absolutely LOVE to see similar videos for the other races of the covenant. You could even do a Halloween episode where ONI makes someone autopsy a flood form......
We need more like this one fr I'd love to hear about grunts or hunters
Flood would be fun for classic body horror. Stuff like pulling a dead infection form from a human combat form would be perfect.
@@AxisChurchDevotee fr tho
Thanks for keeping consistent even when the fans and community haven’t been. Respect
Most intensely interesting halo lore video/halo video in general Ive seen in a while. Love your work and I really hope you keep this series going in some way.
VERY cool video man! I hope to see a part 2!
This was quite in depth. Thank you for this, and I'm looking forward to more content like this!
The quality on this video was insane I can’t even believe you managed to sk this, great work !
Man I think this is the only channel that goes deep into the lore of Halo and the anatomy of each of the Covenant races. I think I should share this to one of my Shangheili friends think he would appreciate this a lot. I would like to add maybe you can continue where you left off with autopsy. Maybe spice it up, have it be medical have a medic attempt to save a Shangheili during a surgical procedure or something related to medical? Otherwise I would like for you to continue the autopsy on the rest of the Covenant species, that be neat!
I’ll also probs be using this video as reference as it could help me with what I’m planning on writing soon. Thanks for the awesome video bro!
I'm immersed 100% such a cool way of doing this. Will definitely check out your backlog!

Thank you for your commitment to excellence, and may your future contributions continue to elevate the Domain to new heights.
Sincerely,
Clifton Ammons
Oh pretty cool 😎 these enemies are just as iconic as Master Chief even the brutes are overlooked for these elites no other enemy has much legacy as them.
Only ones that get remotely close are the flood and maybe grunts lol
Your character said they were still working on the autopsy, not finished.
Might we see a part 2 at some point?
Hiden Xperia should definitely watch this, he would love it.
You gotta do the flood! But analyze every combat form and pure forms. Would love to see you try to pull off like you are horrified by the autopsy
Same, would love to see a breakdown of the various horrifying mutations.
What a gem! TH-cam still throws up some excellent surprises. Looking forward to binging the shit out of your previous videos!
Installation00 deserves the right to work on official Halo games/lore. 343 isn’t doing right by Halo but we at least still get passionate Halo content by our dear friend here
This was a great video! I'm still always gonna nitpick that one clip from Halo Legends where Fred shanks the Elite in the eye, lmao. Elite blood is purple, not green, dammit!
"kicking them in the nuts isnt a viable option" had me laughing good
I hope to see an autopsy on the grunts maybe even the brutes
MORE MORE there's so much potential with this concept
This helped me really feel like I was a part of the universe a fellow professor trying to understanding a way to take down the elite
The only improvement I would like to see is more talk about how the biology affects physical performance. Like how fast an elite could run, what force output could be achieved, what weight could be realistically lifted, what type of exercise are they best suited to (sprinting/endurance/aerobic/lactate threshold etc) and how it compares to a human. Very interesting none the less tho
I'd personally like to see autopsys of the other covenant races. This was awesome!!
That was eerie yet awesome. Like a real scientific protocol. Well done pal! ❤
Love the approach you took with this one absolutely nailing it making me think its a terminal cutscene.
Incredible work as always! My halo lore thirst is quenched once again. Thank you kind Sir.
I’d love to see the lek’golo next. Not sure if I spelled that right. But I think an analysis of their brain would be incredibly interesting to see
love to see more autopsies. I'd like to see the Kig-Yar.
Amazing video, and a lot if the reasons why i love Sangheili are talked about here
Finally, I have been waiting to learn the anatomy of elites
If you look at the Sangheili mouth it's not really designed for chewing (more like grabbing and pulling), which leads me to believe they'd have a crop or other similar organ to help process food; that, or exceptionally powerful stomach muscles.
The attention to detail is absolutely insane!
This was extremely professionally done, while also showing the curiosity of the examiner at the unusual findings.
Also: "There's nothing more of value to really be learned here, well, except that kicking them in the nuts won't work." That got a good chuckle out of me.
Love how this felt like an SCP entry
Spartan 104 got that dog in him, 2 seconds of hand to hand combat to fold an ultra
