The Prometheans solely exist because of the Flood - the two are connected more than Peanut Butter and Jelly. But, why were they created, and why were they so useful against the Flood? Today we take a look at those very questions!

Tricking me into believing that the Didact lead the Prometheans... silly man it was Captain Price.
Didact unmasked - Captain Price edition
HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! "What kind of name is Didact anyway?"
Leadcolt It was to do with a greek word meaning leader.
I was trying to copy one of captain prices quotes but thanks anyway lol
HiddenXperia So the Didact was secretly Price who gained his hatred of humanity and his insanity when Soap died
“Why the Promethean’s were built to destroy the flood”
To... Destroy the flood?
Makes sense
Because the flood are assholes ?
@@suserano7566 think of the flood as ur mom. Always tryna get bigger and bigger
@@engineer_focus1889 that was so good l'm not even mad
@@suserano7566 :)
Forerunners had VATS?
Basically
Im monky
Lmao
Yes
No, they had dead eye or robot eye if you know what I mean
Last time I was this early to a video I only had 2 sticks and a rock for a whole platoon, and we had to share the rock.

Alienatedpoet 17 haha nice man
Definitely one of my most favorite Sargent Johnson lines.
Damn right i am
You're damn right!
Probably the most funniest enimies in halo.... I once heard a promethean armiger say"pew pew them" and i was........ *Laughs*
Then clearly you haven't heard the sound files for "dank promethian solider" yet
Did they really say that? xD
RoseOfTheNight4444 on the last level in halo 5!
Oh, no wonder, I haven't played that yet... x'D
darth vader same :)
I still don't understand why there are so many Prometheans now when prior to Halo 4, no one has ever seen them. Were there millions of them lying dormant on Requiem and because the Shield World was "activated" the Prometheans were freed? Were they dormant and just lying around the galaxy and no one noticed? Was their return prompted by Cortana's meddling in the Domain? I don't get how they have fleets of ships, combat units and massive numbers on colonies like Meridian when they weren't there prior to awakening the Ur Didact or during the Human-Covenant War.
There was no war; so the Promethean had nothing to fight against. Even in halo 4, you didn't see the Promethean when you were on the surface of requiem. You had to go inside the planet to see them. Same with centennials. You don't see them wondering about on the halo ring. You had to go to specific forerunner facilities to see them, like in the control center.
In Halo 4, Didact is able to compose an entire human city, i believe many of the prometheans there were composed humans from that city(the knights at least, the soldiers are just regular ai, so they are just built in masses).
They r on other forerunner worlds the armagiers r also on the ark the promeathens always been there they were made to fight the flood
The prometheans were there by orders of the librarian to keep anyone from awaking the didact
Do you have any idea how angry I am that we never got to see Promethians fighting Flood? It seems like at least the Halo 4 variants would have been very effective. The Halo 5 variants are clearly re-outfitted to fight humans and ex-Covenant, though
With the return of the flood, i would love to see a HUGE battle between them, like the UNSC and cov in halo 3
Halo 5 Prometheans are all purpose, still extremely effective against the Flood but now are more able to take on stronger foes.
Jason Dah Folf But the weapons track now instead of spread. You can't tell me a Halo 5 suppressor could effectively take out a group of infection forms
+Daniel Bob, lol the needler in halo combat evolved tracks and it is pretty good.
Carbine killed the ranged infection forms as well as the needler, carbine or the spiker are better options imo.
"Still baffling that the Didact was able to be composed."
Well remember, this was when 5 composers crashed right into him. He may be immune to the standard composition process, but 5 composers overlapping each other, maybe not so much. I think Brian Reed also said the Ur-Didact was in fact NOT composed, but that explosion did "something" to him. Masterchief himself says the Ur-Didact is most likely just contained, and not actually killed.
You trust Brian reeds' word on something, do you hear your self talking, the man that singlehandedly ruined halos story in a four hour campaign that could put you to sleep faster than a master class in calculus
@@domp2729
It's not so much trust as the fact that Brian Reed was in charge of canon material at the time. Whether what he did is good or not is debatable (technically. Most of us agree H5's campaign was trash, myself being one of them), but he did do them, and they are cannon.
Frankly, in this case what he did was awesome. He shouldn't have ended the Didact's arc in a comic, and thankfully, this little "maybe" allows for the Didact to return, should 343 wish to.
If not THE Ur-Didact, an Echo or a digital Wraith acting as a virus within the Mantel.
Holy shit. Did he actually say that? If the Didact's alive and all 5 composers did 'something' to him perhaps they are hinting at him being cured of the logic plague.
I’d love to see the Ur-Didact return and become a good guy, that’d be awesome. The Ur-Didact would probably be a BAMF against the enemies, and having prometheans on our Side would be a huge fucking relief. I like having my testicles, and not having knights surgically remove them would be great.
The Didact must return. Not only to fight the Flood but the Endless as well.
So much potential for 343 to do this
Would that make him our Ally?
Dee Bx assuming he gets over his grudge against humanity, yeah. Which is possible. After all, he does respect Master Chief to some degree.
@@Dee-sz4jc The enemy of my enemy, though definitely not our ally
In my mind, the Didact was super-composed. The raw energy from multiple exploding composers is too much for any living being, even one as resilient as the Didact.
chris pearson apparently he’s just chilling out in whatever network he was composed into. He’s not dead though
Chief, Arbiter and Didact fighting together vs the Flood? Epic idea!
343: Yeah... no, sorry. We got halo 6 campaign already planned ( another promethean borefest)
Didact is dead
it would've been awesome since the didact put his hatred towards humanity to the side and joins John and arbiter to fight the flood.
Jorge Pena well I heard they changed the halo 5 story a couple of times so maybe... Just maybe
GANGSTA PANDA I heard that too. They changed it several times. Because of this the Halo 5 story is such a mess. (Not that I'm hating Halo 5, but the story was a little random.
Jorge Pena “But this time: MORE PROMETHEAN KNIGHTS AND CRAZY AI.”
Wasn't the point of Prometheans to immune to logic plague and infection. They're the perfect warriors against the Flood.
The one the only Captain Price 😂😂😂
SuperPassword97 Who is captain price?
Aaron Sieder a COD sas captain
''Why the Prometheans were built to destroy the Flood''- the answer is in the question
I'm a chicken yea just take the "why" out of hat sentence
But that doesnt answer the why lol? If you take it out you just state they were built to counteract the flood , but why were they built to counteract it mate
TheNew Brazy999 BLOOP! lol
Another great video, I personally love the Promethean Knights no matter how annoying they are I just think their badass
Mr. Lobster especially in Halo 5. They are motherfucking tanks in Halo 5.
The prometheans are annoying af but awesome lorewise in my opinion
Pls be fun to fight in halo 6
Yup, agree. Awesome lore, bad gameplay
Gaming Yapper876 agreed i just thought they were completely stupid in h5 and just basic in h4
Honestly, I love fighting the Halo 5 Promethean Knights, but quite literally every other Promethean is either boring or annoying to fight. Hopefully Halo 6 keeps the fun H5 Knights.
Prometheans should be way more powerful, use better tactics and be more intelligent on the battlefield. The ones portrayed here seems very weak.
Get rid of the crawlers.
Reduce Watcher movement ,let them be headshot kill, throwable grenades and they can teleport.Also they should fly into you and explode after their allies are killed(but an equal chance is that they fly towards their next allies).
The Knights should stay the same.(Maybe add to them like brutes from H2 to h3).And get rid of their ability to teleport(Maybe give them a shield).
Finally the soldiers,have them drop in either via a dropship or phaeton that they themselves build,get rid of the sniper variant and their ability to teleport and give them more power weapons with predictable movements.
The turrets ,you could turn them against their allies for 10-40 seconds before exploding.
The Phaetons missiles must be replaced for a massive binary lazer and Scattershot turret and get rid of the teleport technique,instead perhaps implement a timed hardlight shield and reduce speed.
Sentinels need to return,the prometheans are boring, also the storm faction must take a back seat and instead should be a rarity not every time you see them.
The old forerunner art style must make up 80% of the forerunner art, but Id be happy to see the new stuff from time tk time.
I havent come up with a new variant for the crawler yet.
Could the creation of the composer be part of logic corruption inflected on the Ur-Didact by the Gravemind? The Flood believes in peace through unification, and the composer could be another tool for forcibly unifying life? E.g. if the flood was destroyed, and Gravemind’s conscious entered the domain, it could then use composers to create an army, and unify the sentient species.
The Chief, Arbiter and The didact with Promethean Knights fighting on your side would be awesome and badass still watching the Knights disintigrate flood like it's nothing and give the player a glimpse how they fight

That cut the Captain Price was really fuckin funny man. Good one, seriously. Bravo. Fantastic. Wonderful.
When I was early the forerunners were alive

048- DarkSpark the one and only...... CAPTAIN PRICE!!!
"The one. The only. Captain Price-sorry, nope-The Ur Didact"
TDJK Hazard captain price is enough of a badass to lead them though
Seeing the Prometheans fight the flood and using their weapons would be rather interesting.
forerunners: *exiles the didact*
the flood: SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH
Prometheans vs Flood I would like to see that
@thenime No, only the soldiers are affected by it. The knights are absolutely immune.
@@flydrop8822 soldiers would still take a long time to infect tho seeing as mendicant bias lasted like 25 years
@@RobloxGamer-ml2hs mendicant is a highly advanced AI, the soldiers are very simple in comparison.
Hidden xperia another great vid bud!really i can never live without seeing your vids!what was your top 1st darkest lore moment in halo,mine was when gravemind infected master builder's family and used thier voice to torture master builder.halo can be sometimes very dark....
WOW, SPOILER ALERT DUDE!!!
Tristan Hidalgo XD
When awakening the nightmare dlc came for hw2 I would sometimes pray that the new leaders were like promeatean or flood
The prometheans have the coolest look in my opinion, as orange is my favorite having the white and orange colors combined with both hard angles and sleek looks make them rad to me. I'd love to have a full suit of promethean based armor in a medieval knight look.

Discovered you're channel yesterday and now I'm addicted I can't stop watching ur lore videos
Great material, thanks! I always use your videos for lore info
Thanks man :)
What I want to know if the ancient humans and prometheans that were composed knew they were composed like when they fight you do they know they are or did they lose their mind and are just like a brain?
I think they mention early testing of composing causes the patients to lose their minds. So it would compose their memories and turn them mechanical, but leaves the composed being mindless.
chris pearson
That's worse than flood infection! 😧
imagine being in that awful composer!
chris pearson: "Shared intelligence"? Why am I getting callbacks to the Borg...
If you had to be turned into a Borg, Flood, or be Composed, which would you pick (mine would be anything but flood (the most painful option))
Wow interesting points so does that apply to the forerunners assimilated? Like they are also mentally tortured
So u say the premetheans are blue cause they r under the librarians control, then orange cause of didacts control, so tell me lore master, why r they still orange when under cortana's control, unless u know, the didact is still alive and in power
(Hint hint)
Shadow King he is in the domain the ur didact was composed after chief beat him on a forerunner installation after halo 4
They were under the warden eternals control to
Or mabye orange just means they are out of the librarian's control in general.
343 if you actually make the didact still alive and in control it would be amazing
The didact can’t be composed because because he already took his new form making him impervious to the composes beam.
When you detonate numerous composers at once at point blank range its bound to have an effect even if you're resistant
Dude, I stumpled upon your channel and im so so glad. Your videos are Epic!! Seriously. Keep up the extraoedinary work my friend!
I actually loved fighting Promethean Knights.
The one the only....captain price- sorry no the ur didact
Lmao I'm dead 😂😂😂😂😂
I feel so honoured that Xperia could call me his friendo
I love their little arm they have
I was early to watch the video yay and another good video as allways Xperia you allways make good ones keep up the good work 👍🏻
I hope that in halo six, if u were to damage a promethium it's role would change ex: %100 heath: assault, %50 heath: sniper, %25 heath: artillery
So kind of like the pure flood forms in h3, but health based
A Dragon Boi 10125 that would be ridiculously overpowered, you can't kill something that just shoots you point blank, then warps to a sniping position, hits you with that, then warps into an artillery position and just pounds you with explosives. That is possibly the stupidest idea for prometheans.
Thank you for making these videos because they are the best you’re my favorite you tuber about the flood in the flight is amazing
This is like the sixth video I've seen of yours. I really like your videos. Subscribed and liked your video. Keep it up man
maybe bring the didact back as a super-powerful promethean ai that looks like a knight made love to a guardian
halowraith1 nah, he'd probably come back looking similar to the Warden Eternal.
I love this channel, I was always a huge Halo fan but never did I expect to find a channel that would educate me so much more on the lore, I now have a greater appreciation for the Halo franchise but not just as a game but as a story.
This makes you wonder how Spartans are able to compete with prometheans. If they could previously warp their perception during combat. It’s not hard to believe they could do it after being composed.
Halo 6 :let's combine the worst enemy to the creepiest enemie!
I would love a Forerunner Floor War Two (FFWII?) if we ever get one. Only exception would be to just remove Watchers entirely. We have Sentinels, just have one of those pop out of a Knight.
Hey hidden expiria could you make a video that could the prometheans are friends with all sentinel type and could you please make a video about all sentinel type in all halo games including hw1,hw2 and their structure and I love your videos so keep up the great work!!!!!!!!
You should probably do a QnA series to answer random questions such as "how did ancient humans fight the forerunners and flood?" Or "iso didact and the urr didact? What?"
“Slowing Down Perception Of Time.”
They Still Didn’t Expect My 100+ Assassinations
Why don't we see much forruner vehicles i know they were badass but damn
i believe there was concept art for tanks in halo 5
He wasn't composed he was inssinrated
he survived then got composed
Wow, that spelling is so bad it took me five seconds to realize what that word was.
Darkside Royalty Lore wtf joker, learn your lore then learn how to spell.
Incinerated* And no, like the creators say, He's technically not dead but dead at the same time. Probably a plot twist in the making but it's entirely speculation at the time.
Love all the flood videos keep it up you got another sub!!
While playing Halo 4 on legendary just to get Chief's armor was... MADDENING, looking back at it, the difficulty of fighting the prometheans just proves that they were designed to fight something much more, perilous, like a flood outbreak. This explains the short range teleportation, flight, and their brutal melee (personal experience; prometheans punch HARD)
wow it's 1:17 PM
Haloguy YT wow it's 2:51 PM

i only recently got back into halo and have been watching your channel to catch up on lore. for some reason it feels like heresy to watch any other channel than yours now lol
Lol, his channel, HaloFollower, and a brief period with h3's forge got me into halo in the first place
Captain Price was originally the one in charge of the Promethean army but had received orders that requested his aid somewhere else so he put his second in command to lead the Prometheans while he was away and that man was Commander Shep--- I mean the Didact
Damn, Midnight is one of the best looking Halo levels. And that track that plays during the final area is my favourite from the H4 soundtrack.
should of included more halo books lore, like how the original prometheans were 2 metres tall and could crash a humans skull with their hands easily etc
Didact is good as antagonist
The best one is brutes from halo 3 when they get rage the sounds they make.
I did some research and you are the #1 halo youtuber in the world good job
Argh! If the didact got composed before halo 5, then who is controlling them now? Cortana? Warden eternal?
ReviewPirateUSARGH! Cortana
The Ur-Didact entered a Cryptum after the human-Forerunner war and was awoken from his Cryptum **before** the Forerunner-Flood war. However, he was placed in a Stasis bubble and left in a flood overrun system where he would eventually reawaken from several centuries later. Some of your lore is wrong, but the bit about the Prometheans is correct.
It would be cool to have a mission where we see prometheans fighting flood
Well done with this video
This might sound stupid, but why couldn't/wouldn't the Forerunners just compose the flood?
How do you break the hive mind?
Good point. Also I like the music in the video (the captions said that the audio said "you" at the end, but it was just music).

The idea of having chief, arby and the didact work together against the flood would be so fantastic and would give that feel halo 3 gave when working alongside the elites omg I want this!
Chief and arbiter come in a close second and third in the most experienced warriors
Legit the most boring enemies to fight.
I lost it at Captain Price! Hahahah the timing was perfect!
Is it just me or does a small tear run of the didact’s face at 4:26 ?
Librarian: bad husband, VERY BAD. Now go to you're cryptum and think about what you've done
Pretty sweet video dude! I also hope the Didact comes back when the flood do, it'd be fukin rad
Feel like I have to mention this, but proof of Armigers is actually had in the books! Armigers are present throughout most of 'Hunters in the Dark' as servants of 000 Eternal Solitude. They use sort of lightrifle-like guns and are vicious in melee combat, according to the book.
It would be awesome to see all the different species come together to fight a greater great
Really I love fighting the promethians and how they have so many different ways of fighting.
Wow! Very informitive! Thank you hidden xperia! I would love to see logic plagued promeathons and flood once again!
And the irony is Cortana's logic plate may lead to the Promeathens defending the Flood, teaming up against all non-flood races. ;)
when does the next trailer for the final game come out and also does anyone know if exactly if there will be a beach mission with juggernauts and all sorts going on etc. when does the the art book come out i have number three art book but not sure when the final stuff gets released.
Have you consider making a video about the different types of Prometheans and they are made?
I was hoping for a firefight mode featuring every faction and weapon spanning the 20 years of halos history.....oh halo infinite. What could have been.
i spit my coffee out at the captain price lmao
I've have been doing some research into Halo lore recently as a double up of preparing for Halo: Infinite and something I've just felt an urge for. One thing that doesn't actually have a lot of information on is the Battle of Tribute, which was a planet in the same system as Reach. The little I now know about it was actually quite interesting and lead to a tiny personal project I'm working on.
May or may not make it so others can view it. I'm extremely self conscious about stuff like that.
can’t wait to see unsc vs flood vs covenant vs sanghelios vs prometheans vs cortana vs something else vs master chief vs locke guy
I predict in the future The Banished and Prometheans will cross paths, and possibly form an alliance.
Id like the didact,arbiter and chief to see another gravemind like halo 2 when arbi and chief where saved by the gravemind but then later the gravemind turns against you which follows with a huge flood outbreak and the fight to survive begins
1:16
Yo, this "Slowing down time for better reaction to enemy encounters" thing the old Forerunner warriors had sounds a shit ton like "Spartan Time".
S M Geezus maybe the forerunners did something similar to the spartan program during the forerunner flood war
It might be bad fighting the prometheans, 343 can fix this issue by having them be our allies! Also bring the didact back somehow
Diadact is one hell of a lore man
Captain price is the only character that is worthy to fight alongside Chief, Johnson and Arbiter
The Arbiter and the Chief with Didact, hmmm be like crazy bad ass
Where do all these videos come from? I don't recall any of these from Halo 4 or 5.
What the name of the Halo OST you have in the outro?
6:06 Can anyone tell me what musical track is playing in the background here? Because it sounds incredible.
I just ran across your channel today and all of these Halo 6 - flood stuff. What do you think now after the teaser reveal? I'm curious.
Imagine if promethien soldiers and knights fighting with you against flood
