Halo Flood Lore: The Floods twisted influence on human morphology
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 07. 2024
- The flood is a particularly devastating species. When a human is infected, the infector pod will subsequently hijack your body and force you to end your own life. If it cant do that, it will then stop your heart. But what mutagenic morphological changes happen as a result of this infection? Lets jump into the lore from a biological perspective and take a look! I hope you guys enjoy Halo Flood Lore: The floods influence on Human Victims

Roanoke Gaming I love your content, may I suggest you try explaining the nurgle plauge from warhammer 40k? I think it's right up your ally
Porter Chase I haven't played warhammer but I can definitely start doing some research on it! May take a few weeks but I should be able to put something together!
Roanoke Gaming it's from a table top game, but there is plenty of info on it
Roanoke Gaming this was the comment you were looking for. Might I add nergle is a great zombie like topic for you.
czcams.com/video/g6R2r9uBA40/video.html
If you wanna get into warhammer it's always easiest to start with da orcs!
Love your channel but if you get tired of the research check out hidden experia he's got 99.99% of their lore covered so you can more quickly break down the anatomy and the rest of the Halo species is covered pretty darn well lore wise from Halo follower hope this helps quicken your sourcing for halo
I was hanging out with a girl who had never heard of Halo. She wanted to try it out and she was enjoying it. Thought the grunts were hilarious and was intimidated by the elites.
When we got to the first flood level, however, she was so freaked out because she wasn't expecting zombie aliens to suddenly be part of the game. It was funny after all these years to see someone shocked at the reveal of the flood.
Nobody could have seen the flood coming! It was amazing to hit that part, back in 2002 me and my friend hit the flood level at like 2 am, needless to say we stayed up till 6 am just running through, no game has had that ability for me since
I have a friend that’s never played halo and the first time we play we’re going to play 343 guilty spark (the first flood level) first
Did you end up smashin', homie?
@@perrybb2 well, if she was that scared, maybe she needed a little "comfort" ...
I never noticed that the marine actually snaps his own neck
This is a great video, but it left me with a question. You say at around 6:30 that the process of the Flood modifying your arms into whatever they become is incredibly painful. The Flood infector/infection form hijacks your nervous system and the signals from your brain are blocked out. Since pain comes from free nerve endings sending signals to your brain to tell it to stop whatever it's doing to avoid potential damage/harm, would the victim's brain still be able to receive those neural inputs and process the pain?
Great question! It does seem if you are still alive that signals are allowed to pass to your brain but your brain can't send signals, it's pretty strange to say the least. Most times you are super dead by that point however. Private Jenkins was alive for it but it was a rare occurrence. Thanks for the compliment on the vid!
Mitten Squad yes
Mitten Squad if your alive after being infected like Jenkins you will feel the pain as he does I remember this from reading this particular book
You're right that doesnt make sense
Dang
At least we can stop the spread with the classical ol´nuclear bomb if an infection ever happens on Earth.
Kill it with fire will always be the mantra of the human race Haha
Indeed
By the time the flood would gain large spread attention to the government, and after containment procedures failed, it would already be far too late. We'd be fucked.
I don't just mean the US, the whole world. The infection would completely beyond our control at that point.
czcams.com/video/9GReZ3lbN7o/video.html Heres a great video on this subject.
I think I died everytime he said infection pod instead of infection form... Love your content and hope you grow much more soon.
Thanks bro! and the infection pods are life brO!
Well, the infection form is basically a pod with tentacles.
4:48 real footage of dean Takahashi trying his fucking best to kill a combat form in halo
4:36 if you watch the marine's hands you can see it breaking its own neck.!
I think it a really interesting detail.
exactly!
I Know this is an old comment but I was debating with a friend on if Spartans can get infected and he said John almost did when an infection form reached for his spine. I was under the impression that the infection form was doing that to just kill John. So does the flood need the spine intact to infect or not? He also argued if that wasn't the case then Bungie just did it for the shock factor and not to be accurate. Sorry for the post.
@@justinedwards5300 the spine does not need to be intact, it just needs a functional nervous system. The reason why its hard for the flood to infect spartans is due to there augmentations. It changes around their nervous system to the point where the flood would go after other creatures rather than spartans unless spartans are the only thing left they can infect because its so hard to infect them
Yo I swear I was playing split screen with my friend and we saw it happen we replayed the checkpoint just to see it again!!!
Think we all can agree that the flood and thr Necromorphs are some of the most messed up characters ever in gaming.
Very true, but then it begs the question, who would win?
Roanoke Gaming or better yet, what would happen if they teamed up.
The galaxy would be pretty much buggered.
I feel like the brethren moons were egotistical so eventually they would try to emerge dominant, though to be honest, I feel like they would beat the flood
Roanoke Gaming interesting
Roanoke Gaming Remember though Keyminds are the size of plqnets aswell.
I miss the good old days in the lore when the flood was just some parasite the forerunners ran into while exploring some planet in our galaxy and due to a lack of knowledge weren't able to contain it and thus the galaxy was almost infected because a plague simply wasn't contained.
Now everything has become so convoluted haha
Roanoke Gaming yeah and back then they didn't have the ancient humanity thing either and supposedly the reason the flood even found it's way to the planet they encountered the forerunners was just because a space cloud carried them to it.
@@jacobweatherford4696 The good old days before halo 2?
3:20 Having a foreign signal override your own would actually be quite painful to the person. There are lots you can buy that will allow one person to put a master diode on their arm and a slave diode to another person if the person with were to let's say curl their fingers, the diodes through the machine would send a signal to the other person, forcing their fingers to curl, and it is stated to be notably, but not unbearably painful.
The bass is insane in this video
found your page and 12 hours still watching your vids!! great job and keep it up I am loving it!!
It’s so good to see how far you’ve come in your channel
I wonder what would happen if a Marker from Dead Space is released during flood outbreak.
Russell tier 0 species vs tier 0 species! I would almost say the marker would win as is affect cells on a molecular level whereas the flood affects it on a cellular. Basically horrifying 🤣
*Roanoke Gaming* Ah good point! I totally didn't know that, the Marker does have that advantage. Would have been funny if the Gravemind and the marker had a tug of war over control of all the bodies.
Lol logic plauge... logic pluage
commanderyammarkkasrkin MV there isn’t a lot of advanced AI in the dead space series. The logic plague wouldn’t really be effective in that regard.
still make scary as shit
Congratulations with 200 dude! It's good to hear you get the attention you deserve!
Thanks bro! I am glad people are finding this content interesting enough to sub! haha
A
Really love your videos :)
What do you think its worst, being in a world that is about to get infected by the flood or be in a ship with a red Marker which leads to the creation of the necromorphs ?
You could kill all the flood and maintain your sanity, the marker infects you by proximity, I would say the marker is waaaayyy worse but both would be equally terrifying!
Paradoxical Nightmare Can you explain that in more detail as this is new to me. I know the moments you're talking about but I didn't know that it was a method of infection.
Paradoxical Nightmare OK, interesting. Thanks.
Paradoxical Nightmare you do realize that the marker infects you no matter what right? And it’s extremely unnoticeable you’ll go crazy without knowing what’s causing it I think that’s more terrifying even tho the flood infection and the necromorph infection are equally horrific
I love the concept of the flood. Especially the process of assimilation of organic matter
Because what else would you do when you find a strange organic ancient powder? Feed it to your dog of course!
I genuinely appreciate the actual science of this. much better than some guy in his gaming chair telling us "oh yeah this is what these things do in my favorite game."
You're like a better version of HiddenXperia. You don't say "iconic" like it's going out of style and you don't sound super annoying. Are you gonna play Halo Online 0.6?
I do tend to say y'all though 🤣 but thank you for the compliment bro! That actually means alot! I heard halo online is for PC which as of now I don't have a gaming PC, but I'm going to be looking for one soon as halo online sounds pretty sweet
The requirements for elDewrito/Halo Online aren't much, I'm sure you can get away with your integrated graphics on your laptop or desktop.
Patrick W. Interesting, I do have a relatively powerful laptop, atleast that's what I make my videos on, I may have to see if she can handle it lol
Did you hear the news of Halo online? Guess I didn't jump on the opportunity quick enough lol
I'll set up a google drive, I got you fam. The dedicated servers are being shut down but not the game itself, there will still be P2P servers.
Welp, guess I got another Halo lore channel to follow now.
I'm glad you enjoyed it that much! Let me know If there is anything you would like to see covered from halo and I'll start cracking on it, thanks for subbing broseph
"hey guys look i found this powder lets give it to this cow for some fucking reason"
the covenant didnt release the flood or break containment. once they stumbled upon the foreruners facility, the alerted covenant high command and they set up contaiment around the facility. it was the master chief who unleashed the flood when he and cortana assulated the cartogpher. remeber when he opended the secruity door containing a map?? welp it was not only that but that switch the master chief opened also served another purpose and that purposed was the containment fields that kept the flood infection forms locked away. and once that was opened all hell broke loose
I remember how the flood used to freak me out back when i first picked up halo, good times lmao
GREAT TIMES, The feeling of being a kid and running across basically space zombies in what you thought was just a "Kill all aliens" game was insane
Ikr? it was so fun destroying the flood with friends because it changes the horror aspect into just fun! One time there was this human combat form with both his arms dismembered, making him harmless but still mobile; we ended up naming him jerry lmao it was great
Great and entertaining video. Make more pls.
for sure man! thank you for the compliment and there will be more coming out!
Hey Roanoke it would be cool if you did another mass effect video. You should do a video on the Quarians. I’m curious as to why a species would evolve in a way to have an extremely weak immune system and become space faring. Think about that. I know their suits provide most of the protection they need, but I’m curious as to what environmental effects caused them to evolve this way.
Great Vid man ^^ the biological stuff really fascinated me , great use of actual medical knowledge:D
Thanks man I'm glad you enjoyed it! The flood are pretty medically fascinating. I always imagined the tendrils are like jellyfish stingers. So small they are able to interact with your nerves on a cellular level
Jesus man, 188 subs... anyway, are you gonna play Halo Online?
18.8% of the way there! 😂 I've heard some stuff about halo online but don't have a PC for it :/ atleast that's all I've heard, it's only for PC correct?
Yeah its PC only, and its not made by Microsoft so its not ever gonna go to xbox, its alright though cuz xbox has Halo 3 anyway, but yeah you should get a PC and try it out
I'm actually considering investing in a gaming PC in the future as this may broaden my horizons and I can play more games!
BLOCK
AND ITS GONE, Amazing how fast they shut that down, but not to surprising
Really like your channel
Glad you like the content bro!
Those little pods are kinda cute but I wouldn't want to give one a hug though.
I always imagined them like walking jelly fish
could you have a look at the prototype series, like the blacklight virus and the abilities it has
I honestly thought i clicked on a hithen lisperia vid til i heard the voice lmao
Sweet video, love that flood shit my man
as do I! I am glad you liked the video bro!
I hope the flood doesn't look at my browser history XD
oh god why
They’re gonna *”Utilize”* those *”tentacles”*
Now that I think of it I kinda wish that the Flood Juggernaut was still in the Halo games to learn about them (I'm not talking about the Abomination in Halo Wars though).
I think you should check out the Bydo from the R-TYPE games! 😎
In the book Halo The Flood there are chapters about a marine which is one that had been infected and the whole time he is alive and sees everything that is going on but is not able to do well anything because the pod has taken over his whole body via attaching to his nerves through the mass of nerves that connect from the back of his head and in his spine. He is still very much alive, but has no control at all and has a constant mind searing headache along with an insufferable ring that changes depending on what he tries to do, but what it does is scramble his mind and makes it hard for him to think which makes it much easier for the pod to control his body. This is simply just a basic oversight of some of the chapters from the book you would have to read it yourself and I encourage you to do so and if you find anything in here to be wrong please inform me of my mistakes that might have been made.
private jenkins, yeah
I think this flood like idea and what it does to the body is so cool I have sorta created a eldritch God that acts the same way for my book. I guess something about a super smart hive mind is just so interesting and fun....unless you met them.
Your stuff is underrated.
I appreciate that compliment bro! I hope one day to get there!
A small yellow alien that takes over humans brains and mutates their bodies? That sound VERY familiar...
But theres proof of marines still being conscious and fight for control
are you referring to Jenkins? while he is an example, I think hes more of an exception than the rule
Roanoke Gaming yes but i thought it could happen to anyone strong enough to resist it ,thought it would be more heroic but it is different :"'( i still think the idea of mental strength could resist like captains keys did if the proto gravemind and also like the idea you if you get infected no matter how mentally strong you are that you will ultimately fall to the flood
Roanoke Gaming but i amit i am wrong
with keys and jenkins they seem to be an exception and if not it only seems to be in early stages of infection
Roanoke whats your favourite halo game mine is halo 2 it had an amazing story also im new to this channel love it
Honestly, I love the original Halo CE haha it is basically my favorite game in existence, next up Gears of War lol I am glad you like the channel bro!
Quality stuff
I'm glad you liked it bro!
Subbed.
I'm glad you like the content thay much! I'll try to maintain the caliber of it! Thank you!
What i don't understand is, if the flood are so advanced that they can retain knowledge of the hosts they infect. Why not just take full control of all the Forerunner tech laying around, I mean ideal opportunity right there. If memory serves they did something like that with a Forerunner war AI, I forget the name, and doing so was instrumental in decimating what was left of the Forerunner military.
Contender Class Ancillas, and yes the Flood do take control of Forerunner installations. It's just that in all the ones we see in the games aren't weapons of the Warrior Servants (with the exception of Requiem)
What’s that track that plays in the background throughout the whole video
I’m assuming the muscles snap the neck because you can watch people change into the flood, Halo 3
Why not morphology videos on the Blacklight virus from Prototype.
they should has floods that have guns grown into them that fire at you in 6, kinda like the spiker ones in 3
bringing back pure forms would be really cool, Hopefully we will get some flood interaction in 6!
well, if you want that, warframe's kinda got you covered, since there are 'infestation' weapons
I wish we saw flood grunts, hunters, and jackels. They're the only ones we don't see change.
The exploding ones are the grunts and jackals as they lack biomass for combat forms, the hunters should are turned to biomass
I thought the Flood-infected ship that crashed on Earth was Truth and Reconciliation, the Covenant ship that Chief boards in the first game.
oTTer it isn't, all covenant vessels over 04 were all destroyed. After the flood outbreak the remaining marine forces regrouped and attacked truth and reconciliation. They managed to overwhelm the remaining covenant forces and resume repairs. However they weren't aware that the flood had managed to infiltrate and hide out in the lower storage area.
Private Jenkins 'sensed' them and managed to warn the acting CO who decided to investigate. Once she and her forces killed them Jenkins broke out and managed to get to the reactor. If memory serves the acting CO found him and decided it was time to kill. Before he died he warned her that more flood would come and if they returned to earth that would be it. Agaisn't her better judgement she detonated the cruisers core effectively destroying it and all surviving unsc forces save for Johnson, Chief, and Cortana.
It would be nice if you talk about the strogs from quake 1-2-4
I remember i played quake for the 360 was that quake 3? hahaha
Roanoke Gaming i think that was quake 4 😂 Quake 3 was multyplater only
nice! actually I remember that process wen you were turned into one of those creatures and they cut you legs off, BRUTAL, but that is a good idea, I will have to dig up my old copy of quake and play through again! thanks for the suggestion bro!
I’m going to school for physical therapy so some of this fancy lingo you’re using I understand maybe feel kind a cool 😎
Join the cool kids club!
Roanoke Gaming tell that to the students that keep shoving me into my locker. And teachers..
Please do a Zerg biology episode
BRUH REMASTER THIS VIDEO. more in depth about the flood!
You do halo videos too?! Definitely subbing
Variety is the spice of life my friend!
Roanoke Gaming good to hear! Halo lore is my personal favorite
Whoa tke subnautica has the same type what is mentiond in the begining
also worth noting that combat forms eventually mutate into carrier forms after a time
Interesting! thanks for the info!
Awesome, didnt know you were a fellow bio lover. . . If you ever need references towards botany or myrmecology, hit me up (odd combination i know, but we dont choose what we are fascinated by)
9:49 alright this guy has a case of terminal ptsd and slight madness tendancy
The Ship Master actually only glassed the city and some surrounding area. What's-his-face hyperbolized the glassing, and the Ship Master's comment on "I would've glassed your entire planet" was simply the Ship master exaggerating himself as well as trying to get the message through that the Flood are extremely dangerous.
nothing better than a good bowlof spageti
I remember shooting off both of the floods arms and giving him a name like a pet 😂
Do a bioshock video!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Could you do a video on the uroboros virus from resident evil
You mentioned something about tier 1,7, and 0. What does the tier ranking mean?
as tiers decrease in number, the level of technology increases. tier 7 are cavemen, Tier 0 are gods basically
The forerunners genocided Ancient humanity, then re-made Humanity but not before modifying their genome to remove millions of years of evolution, then later they genocided humanity again because they lost the war against the flood, firing the Halo array and killed what was likely thousands of different yet-unknown species, (as for example in the Forerunners trilogy, 'Sparks' noted a signal from a yet-unknown civilisation reaching the Forerunners/sparks, taking place just before/after/unknown the firing of the Halo Array).
Watched this while playing halo
Yo can we get an expanded/new version of this?
10:30 Rtas vadum I think.
Could you talk about the Green Poison from The Division?
He did I thought
Can you cover the super soldaten from the latest Wolfenstein games?
that is interesting, I have Wolfenstein but I never considered it, yes I can! got a few more games coming up but thank you for the suggestion! I will be doing that
Do a bioshock video
🐐
RYAN DIAL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
4:07 the most painful minute of your life...
If you are referencing the reloading DUDE, livin on the edge haha
Roanoke Gaming referring to when you were talking about what happens once you are infected...you said it would take about a minute for you to die so i said that it would be the most painful minute of your life
I'm imaging a REAL BESKAR ARMORED FLOOD...jesus its scary, it can't automatically die
Terrifying.
its LIT FAM
Master chief killed the poor pods
:(
Where does the channel name come from?
The Lost colony of Roanoke!
That ship wasn’t high charity
you said that with a snapped neck you would be a para pelagic wouldn't It be quadra since you cant signal your arms or legs
The necromorph's but they can drive, use guns and
not to mention their apparent capability of hijacking spaceships with realitive ease.
And they can become way smarter too
Smitty werben flood can do all that
The Flood and The Necromorph cause a lot of damage
If it infected the earth it would be immediately screwed. Even if we isolated an entire continent and able to defend say the small area between north and south Am, it would still infect any fish and then travel via water lol we are so screwed we cant isolate it at all
Yo what the heck is that video footage from! Halo never looked like that!!
which part? Because If I remember correctly I have used some halo wars, but a lot of my videos contain relevant footage that may not be from in game
Roanoke Gaming the parts that look like original halo, only MASSIVELY remastered. What game is that called so I can buy it.
Poor marine kinda wish you help the traumatized marines from the flood(halo 1 and 3 maybe2?)
Who would win the Flood or Necromorphs ?
Necromorph because of the marker signal!
Do the stasis slasher variant from dead space
You are in luck! I actually have that one done!
GOD DAMN POPCORN ALIENS!!!!
That bassy background track was really distracting. Other than that good vid
yaaah, I have thusly not added "Navajo night to any other videos
Do Zerg
So is this channel like Halo Follower,HaloCannon or HiddenXperia?
Well typically they don't really dive too much into the biology of things, but I also have some dead space, Titanfall, and Gears of war stuff like this! I love nerding out on the biology aspects of games ever since I was a kid
Well he has seen planets fall to the flood so yeah you have to make sure you kill every spore or else bye bye Earth.
agreed, I mean you really have to tbh, otherwise the whole planet is flood food
Hey you compare videogame enemies. SA-X vs Dark Samus
idk if you're a fan but can you do some Starcraft lore vids?
I played world of warcraft like you woudlnt believe, but As for starcraft, still havent played that one, but perhaps in the future!
@@RoanokeGaming Ah I see. The lore has similarities with Halo's.
Bolo Brigade by Keith Laumer
Or the Bolo series.
Never heard of the bolo series, Ill have to check it out!
Correction the covenant resealed the flood. Chief let them out
Adam Orick it wasn’t chief it was captain keys and his crew looking to ambush a covenant weapons outpost( that diddnt exist)
A Thought Crime oh really I diddnt know that thanks
I miss halo :( I miss my Xbox one maybe one day I’ll get a new one
you should dude! halo can still be very fun!
Roanoke Gaming well I really wanna play reach but my Xbox one won’t let me even though it’s using my old 360 account so my Xbox is in storage but with the announcement of the new halo game going back to halo 3s armor style I really want to play again
