    I think I can further explain the Cortana skull. As mentioned, it is the blind skull and was meant to be found there. However, that raises the question why the blind skull is found on Sierra 117 as well. Halo 3's code has a list of strings which were likely meant to be clues to skull locations in the UI but were never used. For blind the hint was 'Interred within her tomb.' clearly indicating the blind skull was meant to be found in Cortana, where it remains to this day. The most interesting string however is the one labelled Assassin - 'Interred where heroes fall.' This indicates the Assassin skull was meant to return in Halo 3 and be found at the cliff's edge in Sierra 117 (Where heroes fall). I'm not sure why the Assassin skull was cut but it seems they quickly replaced it with the blind skull, causing a double. If we ever get an early halo 3 build with campaign assets I would be interested if the Assassin skull was still there.

    Here is an obscure but interesting one, there is evidence that Doctor Halsey was originally meant to be the main villian of Halo 5. A display of a very early Halo 5 Level Menu has the mission description of "The secret of Halsey is out and the UNSC Forces are quickly discovering. Objective: Destroy the Forerunner Warship and retrieve the Intel Chips" but theres more to it than that, Post-Halo 4 Halo Media seriously seems to be hinting at this very strongly. At the end of Spartan Ops, Halsey makes it very clear that she "wants revenge" on ONI for trying to kill her, and in the Halo Comics, Halsey gets extremely close to activating Humanitys Reclamation itself, with an imprint of the Librarian recommending to activate Design Seeds on a particular Planet, which will build a forge megastructure around the planet, along with having vast Forerunner Fleets buried on its many Moons, "For Defence and Reconnisance"...some people have suggested that the image of the Planet looks incredibly similar to Genesis, a Green, cloudy Planet. Might be a stretch, but what if one of the "Forerunner Warships" that must be destroyed in the Halo 5 mission was activated by Dr. Halsey for reconnisance, to collect these 'intel chips'?
    Personally I would have loved it if Halsey went off the deep end in Halo 5 and tried to claim the mantle for Humanity under her deadly rule. Of course, this idea fell through, then it was the Composed Didact, then they setteled on Cortana.

    That bit about the "Brute Skill Skull" cracks me up because it reminds me of so many times me and friends referred to things by completely made up names or did things that didn't make sense. When I was in primary school, me and a bunch of friends who played Halo had mistook a line of dialogue from Captain Keyes in Halo 1. In the very first part of the first level when Master Chief is in the cryo lab with the technician, Keyes calls down into the room on the PA system and orders for Chief to be sent up to the bridge. The guy says "Captain we'll have to skip the weapons diagnostics and I-" and Keyes cuts him off and said "On the double, crewman." My friends and I thought Keyes was addressing the guy by his name, and that his name was "Croman." And we regularly included "Croman" in different games we'd play during school or recess.

    I always thought that ship was just a derelict ancient human ship that was just flying endlessly through space without its crew who was killed by the Halo array. It managed to fly close to the ring and was allowed in orbit because it was human in origin but crashed since nobody inside was alive. The automated distress went off but there was nobody left out there that could receive the signal since everybody in the galaxy at that point was reset.

    The ghost of Lockout resonates with me a lot. And I think I have a high level explanation (because it happened to me).
    Waaaay back in like 2008, I was new to Halo 3 and jumped into some random recent player's custom lobby. I could hear and talk to them, however, I didn't show up on the scoreboard and I didn't have animations (similar to the ghost of Lockout). This took place on High Ground and started a gamer friendship between me and 'Aero n hman' and 'psycosergio'.
    This earned me the nickname "Ghost" while in our games. The best gaming memories.
    I'm sure there was some sort of network error or dsync or otherwise but it was definitely the same situation as Lockout.

    I always thought this ship was just an early hint of what happened to the galaxy after the Halos shot (if I remember correctly, this Guiltyspark side story in the second mission). I thought that the ship was abandoned because the entire crew simply disappeared, and after a while the ship crashed against the installation. That's why no one got off the ship. Because there is literally no one.

    I am not sure who did the voice of mendicant bias as the mystery. However, I think looking back on it, I remember watching ghost ship a horror film. In that scene where the little girl shows one of our characters how the ship became a ghost ship. The background plays with music, called my little box. With the similar creepy voices mendicant bias makes. I’m not sure but either way it’s worth looking into I’ve mentioned that in another video. I didn’t think about that, until I actually saw those videos of mendicant bias, speaking. Then surprisingly enough going back and watching a clip from ghost ship I can hear the same voices in the background in that music my little box.

    Honestly, part of why I love Halo so much (other than the fact that it's just amazing in so many ways and on so many levels) is because the Flood are so much more than your generic space zombies. They're truly existentially terrifying while still being horrific in a very physical and visceral way. I'd argue that they're the most terrifying zombie/parasite/assimilator in fiction. The only other thing that even comes close for me, is the Beast from the Homeworld Franchise.

    The Mendicant Bias messages are my favorite. The audio effects are just perfect for the Omnipotent AI, and so do the Gravemind's. I have come up with a theory that the chant in Halo 3 at 7:45 is the collective will of the Flood, but it is also very.... Precursor. Is it the Gravemind?
    I think so, but the music is in the language of the Precursors. Moments like these gave me the save vibes as MGS 2.
    Ah, a great time in our past. If Halo returns. I would like Offensive Bias to do something similar. Or, depending on how the end of the Didact goes, maybe him in his last redemption.

    I love to watch your Halo lore videos, for years now you've kept my love for Halo up despite the poor management of certain aspects of the games, I can't thank you enough for it. Btw, I usually like to listen to your videos when I can't sleep, it helps me relax for some reason haha Much love to you. ❤😂

    To this day my best gaming memory was playing with a bungie member on Valhalla, I asked him if I got my first perfectionist medal if I could have recon - he obliged because I was a 9 year old little kid but with the sniper sitting in the water on the far end of the map I actually did it!! There’s nothing quite like that nowadays..

    I remember being a 12 year old in 2006 becoming obsessed with the mystery of the tri-gates in halo 2. There were many rumors about what they were or what they might do. The fact that there are parts of halo 2 that were cut but the locations were left in the game (like the one on The Great Journey) made these ideas feel somewhat possible. I also remember scouring headlong up and down for hours trying to find a way to get the golden warthog. The internet was so mysterious and fun back then. It was like a bunch of kids on the playground just making stuff up lol

    I enjoy seeing you move around and get into the content. It's a nice change of pace, and I think it helps you to not be another talking head type of creator (you already weren't a "talking head" creator since your editing shows enough gameplay/relevant footage/big movements so you're good there))

  • @gianlucamorelli

    Very entertaining! I also like the delivery, not taking the subject extremely seriously, but leaving room for a hint of humour amidst the mysteries explanations (did I use "Amidst" correctly? I don't normally use this word but it felts like it was the right moment to use it 😂)

    Just the music you use in the background triggers more happy memories than any other.
    I really really really really really really hope they dive into the mysterious ship that crashed on Alpha in some form or fashion. That is the one that bugs me most. Maybe the Xalanyn trying to escape a genocide.

    Was it ever officially confirmed or denied if there were personalized halo 3 copies on Xbox 360? Years ago I saw a video of someone investigating this but I can't find the video. Essentially every copy of halo 3 upon release had a slight difference in it (according to the theory) and I found it extremely interesting even though I am well aware that this level of detail would be difficult if not impossible to employ, unless perhaps it was on a smaller scale like 1 out of 5 copies of halo 3 had an Easter egg that other copies didn't have

    I'd love to see a lore vid where the Halo Reach data pads are mentioned, if you haven't already. Once I learned about them, I haven't stopped thinking about their significance in the larger Halo universe. Like, the concept of The Assembly is really cool, and I haven't seen it touched on too much.

    You know I always thought it was common knowledge that the glyphs in ODST were from the Engineers, and for several reasons. They can’t talk, so they may as well draw things on walls to try and communicate. Their mysterious yet articulate nature led me to believe this is something they would do- they are biological supercomputers that are constantly processing information so they’re just scribbling notes all over the place. And on top of all that, it’s the game where the Engineers debuted and are in the spotlight, and as the story progresses and you learn more about how they’re essentially slaves, I figured the glyphs were just beacons, warnings, or instructions put there by escaped Engineers who sympathized with humanity and were trying to help them any way they could. Maybe they also figured this was the safest way to do it since only a Spartan or ODST with the VISR tech can actually see them.
    No matter what, you gotta admit it makes the atmosphere just that much better.

    The Halo 3 Floodgate message from the Gravemind is misheard. In actuality it says
    "Side by side we march as one,
    shoulders set, blades aligned,
    Let our footfalls stride together,
    so our foes shall know our might."

    "Side by side we march as one" That is definitely the flood.. that quote alone made the flood much more terrifying to me than anything else. In CE and H2 they were scary enough with how they were introduced. But seeing how they first go from mindless creatures, to the UNSC finding them collecting bodies and making the proto-gravemind with Keyes, to discovering the gravemind, to finding out the flood evolved between the few week time between halo 2 and halo 3 and seeing this deeper and deeper intelligence the flood slowly takes as it haunts chief throughout the flood levels
