JEGA 'RDOMNAI STANS UNITE 🤝
Have you heard of Sali Nyon?
Jega enabled his active camo, grabbed a phantom and flew to reach. He is now making bacon with Noble 6
oh btw Locke is alive a grunt of something confirms it
@@subliminal2621 nooooooooooooooooooooooooo
for me his body didnt cloak....i had fun beating him around and looking at his armor.
The fact that you see the body of EVERY banished boss aside from Jega is a pretty clear indicator that he lives
I hope he fights the arbiter some way because he’s pretty much the opposite of him
Dude that’d be dope
FYI, I saw his dead body cloaked on the ground, and it actually uncloaked for me (may have been a bug).
@@effortlessfury, There is still room for a retcon so Arbiter can have an antagonist. The Swords vs the Banished.
His dead body is there tho..
Xperia witnessed a glitch where the body dissapeared for asome reason lol.
My theory: Jega IS alive and he watched you fight Escharum... And also treat him with respect in his last moment which might come back in the expansions of how Jega views the Chief.
Imagine him being like Ridley from Metroid, clawing back to life with more robot parts every time
I really like this 🔥
But if he did watch the fight why did he let Esharum lose and ultimately die when they are close friends?
@@jivan5843 I believe jega was only playing the role of a close friend and didn't really care too much about escharum as jega is only a mercenary but anything is possible🤷♂️
@@chromtastic2092 Esharum clearly wanted it to be his last fight and wanted it to be a proper one + he was clearly dying so didn't have much time left and wanted to die a warrior's death. At any time after Chief entered the house could he and Jega killed him, but they didn't and instead let Chief Do his thing. Jega would have had to be a pretty shitty friend to interupt their fight and deny Esharum his dying wish.
Something about a grunt, being "notorious for acts of widespread destruction" puts a hilarious picture in my mind.
Nah its totally believable. Give any grunt 2 plasma grenades and a fuel-rod gun. They wreck.
@@jakespacepiratee3740 "OH NO! I DIDN'T MEAN TO TURN THESE ON! AHHHHHH!! *explodes*
@@Anthony32126 according to lore the majority of the grunts we fought against in the covenant were basically unggoy children. The Unggoy outnumbered the rest of the covenant species and were culled after the unngoy uprising
@@ijustmakeinflammatorycomme9839 Before knowing that, the grunt rebellion also sounded very funny lmao
It’s nice to see more powerful grunts in the lore. As the only other at the time were yap yap(if he is even considered powerful) and stolt, that one tall grunt from the shadow of intent book.
I want to know more about the hardest boss in the game.
The brute chieftain with the gravity hammer from the Harbinger fight.
Well ya ain’t wrong
*GLORY TO BASSUS!*
The guy literally jumped half the map to insta-kill me
@@perf7015 fr tho
You can grab the cindershots off of one of the racks and then use the grappling hook to get on top of one of the obelisks around the center of the arena. Use can then shoot him from an area where he cannot reach you. (The obelisks are around the perimeter of where the Harbinger goes to heal.)
You know, I like how the brutes with shields are very obvious due to how much they shine. With how rough and “poorly” made their shields look, they feel primitive and very fitting for brutes compared the the elite’s shields
An aspect of "fine, if I have to wear this"
The halo 3 brutes would’ve been much better if they were like this. I never liked the power armor. Doesn’t make sense that you would wear armor that just disintegrates after taking too much damage
They arent poorly made or primitive because they're visible. They're just utilizing different energies and tech that makes them visible most likely very similar to jackal shields.
@@revolverocelot1380 I know they actually aren’t and wasn’t saying that they are. I was saying that’s how they look and feel. Making them more fitting for the brutes rather than unnoticeable and smooth shields
@@Can_O_Peas I dont know if that means they feel primitive either. Like if you said the skewer(I hate that weapon) was primitive feeling and looking I'd agree but I dont know if visible shields makes sense being considered primitive. I'd actually think visible shields are more advanced since the energy around it is so active and strong yet sustainable.
Love how right tremonius was, chief killed them all.
Yeah, he wasn’t overreacting he was just a history buff.
@@crusaderduncan1628 he was up to date on his halo lore
Tremonious was the only one who actually payed attention to what the chief managed to do in the past. Shame escharum didn’t like to hear it
@@lukez9721 I think Escharum knew that Master Chief was pretty much unstoppable, but he acted like he wasn’t so his troops would feel inspired to take on a legend. He might’ve believed that showing weakness would not make the Chief fear him or motivate him to fight harder. He even comes to terms with the inevitable in his final audio log.
@@Dr.Oofers And he also wanted a legendary fight with chief.
I think it can be implied that Escharum was suffering from lung cancer - The laboured breathing, the cough, and the fact that Jega can "smell" it, similar to how dogs can smell certain cancers
Boren‘s syndrome due to the gases of plasma weapons maybe?
@@anacondastrike128 only affects humans i believe
@@Knowyourlilnig yeah but it's an actual condition - johnson for example is hyper allergic to the radioactive plasma material found inside fuel rod guns and carbines
When I fought Escharum I finished him off with his Elite friend's energy sword. It felt like poetic karma.
Nobody messes with Brohammer. Nobody.
Same!
Same
Same
Aye I did as well just seemed right
So did I
Infinite has hugely improved Halo’s boss quality. They’re genuinely fun to fight.
Agreed! Finally a Halo game with good boss fights.
While frustrating at times, they are fun. Definitely the best Halo bosses in the series
Ya know i kinda beat bassus with the scorp gun with one hit
@@glaceonsossuary5287 that’s called good game design. Dying from a boss is usually because of bullshit lol.
@@glaceonsossuary5287 I mean bosses are meant to die to if played bad so yeah I suggest git gud "evilhellokitty"
I was honestly shocked with how much I liked the Banished and Escherum, at first I thought they were kind of just a throw away enemy force brought back just so we have enemies but I really loved how distinct they were from the covenant, and Escherum as well being very different from Tartarus where Tart like the Covenant were blinded by ideological glory, the Banished and Escherum have this Barbarian style of living and even in some cases look out for one another
I still view them as a low budget placeholder faction😅 also the way they were always talking mad shit and in the end they were no challenge for the Chief makes them look like even bigger clowns like they already were imo
@@JJumper8888 you mean everyone ever who faced chief? You cant base their power simply off fighting chief. Hes supposed to win
@@baitrun8559 also how the banished got their asses handed in Halo wars 2. I mean yeah like you said you are made to win, but yet still, imo I feel like they are artificially strong. They have nothing of the might and respect the covenant had imo
@@JJumper8888 they took down the infinite in 4 minutes. Have personal soldiers capable of taking down Spartans with ease. Say you put the banished and the cov starting and growing at the same time and rate, banished are likely superior seeing what they've done in their short time
@@baitrun8559 true that, but what my issue is, you don't really feel their power in the games yet. That's my whole issue with them
A little bit about Hyperius and Tevarus that I thought was hilarious and I'm a little sad you missed is when The Weapon says "you made that look easy!" after the battle and Chief says "it was."
Two imposing Spartan killers disrespected by Chief. It was amazing.
I did two runs of this game and the first time round I had a bad strategy for this bit and it got me killed repeatedly, after I finally beat them the Weapon said
"That wasn't easy, was it? I don't think we can keep this up chief. What if he sends more?"
Chief just says
"Let him."
Second run through I learned from my mistake and melted both of them in under a minute
"They call that a Spartan killer? You made it look easy"
"It was."
Damn it felt so cathartic to hear that dialogue instead after the two or so hours I spent slamming my head against a wall the first time round
@@paulrudd1483 Agreed. That damn Chopper...
Sad that they were kinda wasted potential. No cutscene, no build up to them aside from one line, and that’s it.
Those two kicked my ass for the longest time first running it on Legendary. Eventually managed to put enough of a dent of him by running off and snagging refills of a battle rifle 4 times over during the fight just to have enough to get through their giant health bars. Pop your head out for just a little too long and you'd be quickly 2-3 shotted either by Chopper shots or sniper blasts once he dismounted, it was nasty.
@@MisterJohnDoe I grapple hijacked that thing the second I saw it lol
"he must be engaged carefully but with with extreme prejudice."
Chief: *drops from a cliff and one taps him with the sidekick*
i like how halo reach armor's for the elites are set in halo infinite and no longer look like brutish creatures with weird body proportions, back to theyre honourable and awesome selves!
Agreed. The standard elites look like h2A elites but standing straight up like the elites from halo CE. And there are some mixes of reach and 4/5 armors added to elites. Imo they look much better than reach elites. Not sure if those elites were just much bigger or it looked like that because we were a spartan 3
@@OPTSXFilosoofis They were much bigger proportionally to better distinguish them from the friendly dinosoars we'd known. The goal with Reach was to emphasize their more alien features, since they were once again all-powerful monsters hell bent on destroying Humanity. This is why they have pitch black eyes, and more accentuated teeth too.
It looks better than reach. The major helmet is ass though
Jega is one of the best written side antagonists I've seen
His visual design is top notch as well. We're so used to seeing elites as these honor bound knights essentially and here's this blood thirsty, twisted serial killer who wants nothing but the thrill of the chase.
Hello mr everywhere
And they managed it with pure visual design and only a handful of spoken lines. Everything you need to know about him is in his appearance.
He has like 7 lines
Is this a meme? I can’t remember if he even spoke
Chak ‘Lok and Bassus are personally 2 of my favorites and their intros and personalities are amazing. Chak Is a polite gentleman and that music that plays when he swings down hits different. Bassus Is just a badass grandpa who is also quite polite besides when he is trying to kill you.
I don’t think Bassus is polite. He seems more of the “Dumb brute” stereotype, his line always cracks me up. “Humans not so tough I think... Soft insiiiideee” as he swings down the G-hammer lmfao. Although I dunno if I’d call Chak “polite” either, I’d call him respectful, elites culture values honor, and clearly he sees that the Chief is worthy of some level of respect due to his unparalleled achievements.
The Elite Elite Chak 'Lok, i love him
@@echo1180 yeah but at the same time he seems like a polite grandpa when he doesn’t wanna see your soft insides. At least the things he says after he kills you does. I just killed him on legendary the other day but had my ass thoroughly handed to me before hand so I’ve heard quite a few of them lol.
@@fentposer I honestly didn’t like Bassus’ boss fight too much, liked the character definitely but after an hour of him killing me I just was pissed unfortunately
@@snakeguy8646 his boss fight was just terrifying for me. His crackhead jumps and his 100 mph running sent chills down my spine
The idea that the Lekgolo are evolving to have more individual tendencies I find absolutely fascinating! I hope it's explored more in the future
Colony is the smartest of the hunters so far ever met
The Lekgolo are not a monolith. Nothing about this is new lore.
The exact same thing happened during The Great Schism when the Covenant split into Loyalists and Separatists. The Lekgolo Colonies could not come to a single decision and thus they fractured too.
@@AFlyingCoconut nobody said it was new. What was said is that this should be explored more, because it is interesting
@@AFlyingCoconut that's not the same, is the fact that lekgolos ar starting to be more one beeing instead of colonies of worms, they are developing personalities as if the worms are just the body but the mind is one
It’s nice to see some these having some pretty neat background for them. Who else finds it funny that both the grunt targets were said to be dangerous, and to be pretty brutal.
And they take..... one shot.... to kill..... very dangerous indeed.
Lmao Briglard was meant to be this super vicious evil Grunt and I killed him in like 2 shots
Shame really. They should’ve gave him energy shields like they did with bipbap, and a better weapon. Same thing happens with when fighting the jackal sniper target, just head shot him and its over.
@@HiddenXperia sir, this is gonna be irrelevant but I wanted to say something. I thought that esherum was sick with a flood spore and that at the end an infection form was gonna infect him. It kinda sucked that, that didn't happen. I wonder what the illness was. Do you have any ideas? I think everybody's overlooking this. Or maybe it's actually nothing. Oh wait actually you did mention the illness for a second but i still think it could've been that.
I remember I ran some of the bosses over with a ghost
I wondered if Balkarus was the same brute mentioned in HW2's logs. His utter cruelty towards Grunts made me particularly bitter towards him. Makes bringing down a Gravity Hammer down onto his skull in Infinite feel so much sweeter.
......i mean grunts eat people
@@pearsegallagher9832 well brutes love to eat humans more, especially grunts. I’m sure grunts would only eat humans in dire situations. They mainly eat a sludge from some weird nipple mechanism
@@yapyapthedestroyer2562 on first contact with humaity a grunt jumped a marine without prompt and started eating him
@@pearsegallagher9832 yes I know. Yull, the grunt who did that was apparently nervous when he saw the humans, causing him to attack. Also according to another grunt named flim, he was stupid, or he mocked him idk.
@@pearsegallagher9832 did not eat him, just torn him apart like ripping legs and arms
Chak lok very low key reminds me of the Arbiter when he was still a shipmaster. Brutal, but with tact.
I played through the game on legendary recently, and my dad who’s interested in the lore watched me grind through the entire thing just to see the story- we both loved the bosses of this game and the sandbox approach to fighting them made it fun.
The Jega fight was so fun like genuinely cool character, menacing and good encounter design
Actually suprised and caught me off guard because he kept repositioning. Good fight
The game literally turns into a horror game for like, 10 seconds when he shows up.
You know you're a badass when you singlehandedly change the game's genre momentarily.
I tried it like, how many, about 17 tries.
Something that Halo infinite nailed was the Voice acting and dialogue performances, not only for the main cast, but for all of the enemies, including all of the voices for the Brutes, grunts and Elites, where the correct essence of each species were conveyed perfectly through their cadence and intonation, either through the grunts *Hilariously* flippant dialogue, to the _Brutes’_ Savage and fearless threats, and the _Elite’s_ elegant and noble gestures and taunting.
I completed the campaign on Heroic on my first playthrough, gotta say I’m glad I didn’t go any higher because it took a while to knock the rust off, and the main bosses were very tough on that difficulty. But man, my battle with Escarum could not have finished any better. In his last stage where he wields the grav axe, I had the Bloodblade equipped. And as we went flying past each other trading blows; the last charge % of the blade took his last sliver of health, and deactivated the blade so I was standing there victorious and empty-handed. To me it felt like when Fal Chavamee and Haka had their mutual kill in Halo Legends. Epic.
That was quite a duel in Halo Legends
@@justicebassett968 yes it was iconic…but unlike the Arbiter’s takedown of that entire army; Wraith tanks, Hunters and all, the duel with Haka was them charging at each other 1 time, and dealing mutually fatal blows.
@@CaptainHair2 you wouldn’t believe me if I told you that happened exactly to me too!
why do people always beat the game on the highest difficulty for their first playthrough I always do easy to get the feel of the game then on my next playthrough legendary.
@@Beastman0008 Heroic was livable, I’d never start on Legendary, even in my prime. But for me, the decision came down to the fact that I’m 30 and full-time employed, so I don’t have the time to play the campaign on each difficulty. Most bang for the buck is knock it out at Heroic, get the achievements for the 3 difficulty levels, and then someday attempt Legendary, probably when co-op is patched in 😂
As regards what Adjutant Resolution does next: he actually has an interesting line of dialogue after his atonement, when he says that he was “meant to be a friend, not a replacement” to the fallen monitor, and “maybe he’ll make a friend” for himself.
I loved the Infinite campaign and I feel that it was a proper redemption after H5.
I love how much lore they put in here, and I can’t wait to get some dlc to the campaign. So many possibilities for different biome’s as we explore more of Zeta Halo. I’m curious as to how the Endless is worse than the flood…
Edit: I still don’t understand how Cortana died, she could have did what she did and still escaped. I feel like that whole timeline needs a better explanation, like how did Atriox survive that but she didn’t. However maybe I’m missing something.
She definitely could have survived but she didn't want to. She felt ashamed of what she did and knew that she made the wrong choice
@@Agent38877 right on. She could have seen her copy and realized that The Chief would be better off with a fresh start, they both would knowing what they now know. Building that relationship, building trust. So I’m cool with that and the way she left when final message for John was just great.
Now…about Atriox being able to survive that and not stepping in to stop Chief who could have possibly stopped their plan…👀 what’s up with that?
@@thechicagobox artiox might have not even known John was alive. The Banished thought him dead so why try and tell Artiox the Chief just tore through all their stuff?
Cortana was still locked down by the weapon also. Probably limited her options.
Hey so what do you think the weapon chose for her name? Did she pick Cortana?
Just a question did escherum send tremonius to the master cheif knowing he'd die almost as punishment of him questioning escherum's leadership? As escherum throughout the game seems content and expecting of the master cheif's abilities it seems clear that he was essentially sending tremonius to his deatgh bed
Probably
In Escherums eyes, dying in combat by the chiefs hand isn’t exactly a bad thing. The way he probably saw it, Tremonious got an honorable death. Not sure if it would be a “punishment” in his eyes
This actually makes a lot of sense
Def an aspect of "do it yourself if you know better"
Probably not, Tremonius just sucks at his job
The lore for Infinite is fairly to pretty impressive, the boss fights are definitely a massive improvement. I enjoy when I get into them.
I killed Jega on accident (wanted to kill him with my sword but accidentally finished him off with a no scope from my sniper across the arena) legit thought it glitched my game causing him to phase out of existence when I couldn’t find his body.
Same, not the sniper bit
I literally ended the fight in about 10 seconds on heroic cause I grabbed a fusion coil, threw it at him and there just so happened to be two other fusion coils near him and the huge blast just deleted him. At first I thought
"Hell yeah! He drops one of his swords to start phase 2!"
"...."
"...."
"Oh no he's just dead"
Awesome, I i defeated him with a blind nade toss
Killed him with, uhhhhhhhhhhhhh i cant remember but i didn't notice that his body wasn't there
The fight against the two brutes driving choppers was really fun. I fought them using a ghost that was sort of hidden to the right of the elevator
Is it weird I would unironicly love a space traveling Halo RPG playing as a Sangheli post Covenant. Specifically with stealth and melee gameplay in the 3rd person
That would be cool
man hearing Hunters taking out two full spartan team is like a monumental achievement.
I still like how chak lok welcomes John and doesn’t call him demon like the other elites it shows despite what he wanted to do he showed chief respect shows that chak lok did his research on him
@Glirion was his intro jumping the shark? yes. was it weird that chief didn't just shoot him? yes. was it really cool? yes. The best part of HI is that the elites AREN'T super heavy blocks of metal and flesh, they can move nimbly and with speed and care as needed.
@@blackmage665 I don’t think it was jumping the shark. It makes sense he would enter so gracefully, and it also makes sense Chief would listen
@@halogod0298 If you say so, but there's no reason for chief to care about who he is facing. it's like watching someone transform in the middle of a fight. if your goal is only to win, why grant courtesy to your enemy? give them no space to breathe, anything less is impractical.
@@blackmage665 it happens in real life sometime, and just because they add some theatrics doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. If realism was the goal we wouldn’t be fighting aliens on a hula hoop
@@halogod0298 I'm not sure why you are saying this to me, when I never said it was bad. Also, Halo does ground a fair bit of it's tech in real possibilities. Still, thanks for your input.
Escharum deserves his own comic, the same for Blademaster, I like to know how he and Escharum met and became close friends. Also how Blade master lost his arm and piece of his mouth.
LMFAO that teabag edit while Escharum gave his opinion on Tremonius was hilarious!
I hope Jega is still alive. It'd be great for Atriox to still have a Sangheili in his inner circle, and I hope that he takes over as leader of the Hand of Atriox, recruiting new Spartan killers.
I Wouldn’t be surprised if he was killed from atriox for being incompetent
Something not a lot of people have noticed, the Warship from the beginning is actually called “Ghost of Gbrakkon” as stated in a recent article of Canon Fodder.
I find it funny how within 24 hours, master Chief wiped out probably a quarter of the banished forces, leadership, outposts, armories, nearly all HVTs, and an alien squid
I think that “Jega is still alive and he cloaked and ran away while leaving his sword behind” is the new “noble six is alive in a cave” theory
Although I would love for it to be true to be honest, so fingers crossed that it’s actually true 🤞
Have him become halo infinite's take on the stalker from Warframe
@@scarecrow2621 get a life lmao
Bruh that boss fight was ass. Don’t see why people are so in love with such a shitty character in game.
@@Spartan-sz7km so he’ll be our bro soon? Dope, but also damn a psychopath is gonna be our bro…
@@LegiamasC-OnTwitta worth it
Having such PTSD of Halo 2 Jackal Snipers when I saw what Barroth was....I was overjoyed to see a ledge over him and proceeded to dome him with a single shot from my S7 sniper. May of been overkill but taking no chances....
343 definitely knew what they were doing with that guy.
I just rammed him with my banshee and killed his friends as well. I was taking no chances fighting him on the ground. He reminded me too much with Halo 2 jackal snipers. But my ptsd did trigger which is why I rammed the bastard before giving him a to dodge me.
@@nightwing2032 Carter would be proud.
19:32 “His files suggests he should be dealt with carefully”
*INSTANTLY DOMES THE JACKAL*
Cant wait for the dlc dude, and the halo infinite boss battles were god-tier
I really want the Blade Master to still be alive. His design is so cool and we rarely got to see him. I need more.
Another note, I don't know how Halo Infinite's continuations is gonna have Banished that stand out. We killed alot of of the high ranks and Escharum was sick as is and they didn't specify what it was, the future of the Banished worries me. I hope 343 addresses this well.
I mean, atriox is still alive
@@djkaibaxter419
As long as he lives, so does the Banished.
@@WhyTho525 indeed. We have to see an epic showdown between chief and atriox one last time.
I would imagine Atriox will be alive for a while to come in the halo universe seeing how he was only introduced and mopped the floor with chief at the beginning of the game
Interestingly, Jega is the only main story boss who doesn't have an achievement relating to getting killed. And considered his last-second cloaking and disappearing act, there is no way he's dead.
Chak’ lok was my favorite. Not only the boss fight but also him as a character. A badass, war lord yet very respectful elite. I loved the fight because you are going through the levels of the tower fighting banished and then it culminates into this fight were you have to save a spartan. The music was also sick throughout the entire mission.
How was he respectful?
@@andyfriederichsen he welcomes you into his tower like he's about to show you his forge map, also he doesn't call you a demon at first
I really loved the boss fights. They were beatable but even on Normal, still difficult enough to be an actual boss.
They were tough but fair on heroic but some were real bullshit on legendary.
Bassus was fine, just use the grapple and bhop. But man that brute with the tracking M41 and hyperius/trevarus were bs. Basically the only viable way is really playing range against the brute pair, while against the tracking M41 I really had to outpace him with the dropwall, thruster and grappling hook using the rapidfire pulse and convergence bulldog
@@Spartan-sz7km I mostly just dipped in and out of cover with a wasp while fighting the M41 brute. Pop up enough to fire missiles, then drop back down. It made it far easier.
@@Spartan-sz7km last 2 bosses fucked me up quite a few times on heroic. Fuck that Chieftain with the Harbinger
Ive been stuck on the last boss fight for days on legendary. I think im just gonna quit playing
I thought they were all pretty easy outside of Bassus on heroic which took me well over 10-15 tries
I love hearing all of this lore, it’s funny to know about these great warriors and then proceed to just run most of them over LMAO
I'm so fucking glad that we're getting all of these lore vids for infinite now, I love the mysterious and ominous vibes you always manage to create. Amazing work as always!
I pray the flood return in future expansions and I pray we finally get a final battle against the gravemind that I so badly wanted in halo 3! Imagine how grand an epic a battle against it would be!!
They probably will given the flood cylix that's in the second mission.
Knowing the flood they'll have to come back, especially with how big of a presence they had / have on Zeta Halo
@@mattbailey9894 Imagine the flood came back and at the height of defeat, the endless came and cease the flood. It would be amazing.
No more flood please.😭😭😭
I really doubt they’d bring back the same gravemind. In HW2, there was a new one being made on the ark. Though it wasn’t allowed to reach full gravemind status…
@snuckel4 i think the endless are flood
I'm surprised the dossier type things for Okro Vagadum and Balkarus didn't mention they were on the Ark and returned with Atriox.
Wasn't Zeretus also on the Ark with Atriox? The name sounds familiar.
@@elitegamer9310 yeah but I forgot his name until midway through the video.
What a surprise, a previously important Lore character is a generic enemy with a stronger shield and no character once brought into mainstream Halo gameplay.
I really like how these lore videos feel like audio logs you could find in halo.
It’s really neat
Fresh 30 minute videos from Xperia is exactly what I need to keep the depression away. Thank the maker Halo has returned to form.
Honestly if Jega survives I wanna see Arbiter vs Jega in a sequel or Arbiter dlc or somthing
Escharum has easily become one of my favorite video game villains like he hyped me up every time I saw him and it’s also a plus that he’s voiced by Reinhardt from Overwatch
Wait what
And the same guy voiced Samuel Hayden/Samur Maykr in DOOM and DOOM Eternal
@@griffingower1883 I knew I recognized him from somewhere
I want firefight back, so we can have squads of spartans dropping in to battle a bunch of banished troops and even have more bosses come up. Getting to have our own spartans in action would be awesome, plus more chances to use the special weapons
Well, 2 years later, we’ve got firefight.
@@ShadowCompany01took them long enough
I love how in the game (and 5:34 in the video) Adjutant Resolution just is pushed up against the door and when it opens immediately starts apologizing and that they probably did this knowing if the chief saw them again and was given more than 2 seconds to think they would get shot.
I love how you humanize the banished bosses, too make their fight against us so much more relatable! Almost makes me feel some remorse for destroying them lol! Well done!!!😁
Some of them had it coming. Chak and a few of the HVTs deserved to have fusion coils chucked at them.
Can't wait for more campaign DLC. So that we can see more lore.
Damn, how optimistic we were that 343 wouldnt fuck up for a third time in a row... oh how naive the fanbase were
They didnt fuck up lol@@Mystic_Apollo
@drazam6608 tell me you haven't witnessed the past 3 years of broken promises about DLC, cut splitscreen, lacking updates, 12 month long seasons of no content and 3 different CEO's without saying it 😂
343 fucked up, Plain and simple
@@Mystic_Apollo I mean there is splitscreen for multiplayer at least at day one.
@thatbr1t1shguy 2 years vefore release they claimed splitscreen co-op campaign would be there on release and a standard going forward... took them a whole year after release to finally say it was cancelled as they couldn't make it work in-engine... despite multiple people getting it working through their own consoles
It's cool to see weak specied enemies like grunts and jackels have some high ranks or at least be a leader of some sects inside the banished. Would love to see more of them
Jega is by far my favourite boss, amazing design, incredible entrance and cool lore behind him
I like how we are getting a decent amount of lore from the main campaign I like how the even show the collection of different species in the game from after activating the ring.
Escharum and jega were the only bosses I struggled with, in the escharum fight I ended up spending like 80% of my time in the air using Grapple and dash
When i fought Jega he was kinda underwelming i had the most trouble with Escharum
I personally didn’t find escharum that hard
“After a rather tough fight the politest elite to ever live fell to the spartan”
Arbiter (thel ‘Vadam): am I a joke to you?
I like that many of the HVTs aren't just dangerous enemy assets but also outright scumbags even compared to Covies (especially some of the elite HVTs.
I love the music you picked for the parts about Bibbap and Briglard. The first part of that soundtrack is basically the theme music for that species.
Quick note the Hyperius Tovarus fight didn't happen at the Mortal Reverie, which is at Outpost Tremonius. The frigate just (accidentally?) has the same tag as the Reverie, FFG-525.
I really wish we didn't have to kill Escharum the first time we met him in person. It was the most emotion I've seen from a Brute in a game yet, and I absolutely loved every message Chief received from him. He was such a great character and I love how in every message you were able to feel the respect that he felt for Chief's prowess in battle, and how incredibly excited he was to put Chief's legend to the test. Both Escharum and Chief respected each other to the end, and all he wanted was to die a warrior's death to somebody who was truly worthy. Same thing with Jega, even Escharum said after the battle with Jega that he promised him "a sweeter kill, or a warrior's death" in exchange for keeping the pilot alive. This whole game seemed like all of it's villains were fighting for honor more than glory. I absolutely loved it.
I really hope in the dlcs we get different forms of hunter worms construcs like in Halo Wars 2.
Jega is definitely still alive.
He was close friends to Escharum and wanted to let him have his final fight. Also I believe Jega is the only one of the main bosses who you don’t get an achievement for killing
I love all the side boss fights, my favourite fight was when I ran over BipBap with a warthog
Considering how Chief takes out all these bosses and HVTs, it makes you wonder just how powerful Chief really is.
he bitch slapped a scorpion tank shell that got shot towards him in the lore
I would love to see Jega return... Maybe with some more cybernetics due to the fight with Chief.
I like how the banished respect the Chief, they don’t call him demon or what ever nick name. They call him Master Chief, although some call him Spartan, but I find it cool that many banished high ranking personnel call him his name, “Master Chief”
@@rubydancer4241 I’m talking about some of the main baddies
This is the best channel I never knew I needed. Getting all the halo feels back and having a lore master to get all the backstory catch up is amazing
I beat the game on legendary looking at these clips just make me think how you not die in two shots lol must have been normal or easy
Was the 1v2 fight the toughest one for you because dear god that took near 2 hours for me to figure out
@@SweetPeteInTheBackSeat that one was annoying i camped in that ship with the rpg and hydra
@@SweetPeteInTheBackSeat literally the hardest one out of them all I figured out I could kill the long range guy first then I made the other guy blow up inside of his copper. I even clipped it
Funny enough, you can just jack the chopper and quickly run Tovarus over, then just deal with Hyperius, worked for me
Bro Escharum would literally just one shot me
Halo's boss fights have changed so much!
Imagine a dlc where the spirit of fire and swords of sangehlious fight together with the unsc
The Banished are proving to be my favourite faction in this franchise.
With the reference to Colony in Myriads file I really hope later on in dlc we get to fight Hunter Goliaths and Hunter captains.
It seems that Colony is being built up. I hope to see them later on in Infinite's lifetime. Maybe with new much more dangerous versions of the beam cannons from Halo 2/3
The hype that Escharum made with the dialogue Before the fight with chief.. Damn
Jega is my favorite elite tbh he knows how to make a entrance and the cyber arm on an elite is unheard off
I don’t think Tramoneus was begging for his life, it came across to me more like he was begging for the opportunity to avenge Atriox.
Just wanna give a shoutout to Adjutant Resolution
In the 2nd boss fight he assures us, this will be the last time we boss fight him, putting to rest all my Warden Eternal fears.
Dude I've been subbed for the past 9 years and I love it when you upload lore videos, you do it so well and the story.. if you wrote a Halo book I'd read it
Escharum is probably my favourite villain of the lot, a brute who is not only intelligent, but eloquent and charismatic, enough that even after Atriox's 'death', he was still able to keep the Banished united under his banner despite the whole cult of personality around Atriox being the very foundation of the Banished.
Always up for some more halo infinite
Hyperius and Trevarus aren't actually the first Members of the Hand of Atriox we come across. When you find Spartan Sorrel, there are two dead brutes in Black and read armour lying amongst the dead.
Some of these boss fights on legendary were extremely challenging. I loved the boss fights!
I’m so happy we’re getting so much halo content from you cause of the new lore we have!!! I LOVE IT
Honestly Escharum felt like the big bad's second in command because they wanted to use Atriox without actually using him
I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope Jega somehow survived his fight with Chief and will come back again
And also, rip Chak ‘lok… so sad that i had to kill him… his character is awesome IMO
And i find it so cool that there are kig-yar HVTs and even a female shipmistress….
I've spent two solid days through these holidays catching up on all your content. GOAT status. Keep it up!
Let’s goooooo! Love your lore videos! I’m excited as zeta halo has so much more to talk about. Obviously even more then was in the campaign!
Came here faster than the flood goes from feral to coordinated stage
I would like to submit my revision to the Jega cloaked and ran away theory and say that he lost his sword hand which is why he dropped his blade. The next time we see him he will have two cybernetic arms. He ran away knowing he couldn’t win without both arms.
All of the bossess were very fun and a welcome challenge for me. Playing on heroic, I remember dying quite a lot of times to the Brute on the excavation site, his long jumps with the hammer got me good
chak loks cut secene is by far my favorite boss intro, so much style and grace, very short but very sweet
watching this made me want to replay halo wars 2. Mainly seeing the grunt's in leadership. YapYap is a god tier hero. Would you consider doing some lore behind the halo wars 2 heroes like YapYap or the Colony?
I’m excited to see the bosses in the next dlc
Escharum was such a good character, I love some of his voice lines. He reminds me of Ghaul from Destiny 2
I was just watching your video on the history of bosses in Halo and now this popped up!
