    As much as people love to bring up the Xenomorph from the Alien/AvP universes as "the perfect killer," they can't hold a candle to the Flood. They have fallbacks for every possible problem, can assimilate a Gravemind from any form, and the only limit to what they can do is set by the limit of who they're consuming. The Covenant had the best possible solution which was to glass whatever planet/continent they were on, which is the only end-all for an outbreak, scorched earth. The Flood is the perfect killer in every sense of the word and it's one of my favorite Doomsday species

      I mean Xenomorphs weren't really designed as a galactic super threat. They come from a far more grounded scifi. If you want to compare the flood with something like the Xeno's you should go with the Tyranids from WH40K. Though to be honest, the Xeno's likely have a better chance at beating a keymind then flood has a chance against the Nids.

    I think he missed out on the worst part of the flood. Once a gravemind is formed, it regains the knowledge of all previous graveminds. It can just start making ancient alien tec on a whim, recall the tactics of a trillion battle commanders. It is a true eternal hivemind. And even in death you shall forever remain a tortured soul, forever trapped as a part of it.

      @@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Yea and I think the video still *understates* the power of a gravemind and by extension its evolved form keymind which is even worse by several magnitudes. So great is the threat of a keymind that once born, it effectively spells the doom of all life. Not only can it inherit knowledge and is eternal, but its computational capabilities are truly whack. I have no other way to describe it. It's like every horror stories about AI uprisings level. It's to the extent that they can overwhelm the tactical/strategical precision of highly advanced AIs designed for warfare from the Forerunners - a super duper advanced alien species whose technology made them godlike. Practically, they can predict the future with extreme accuracy after absorbing enough biomass.
      And I also cannot overstate how op these forerunners were. They can basically do whatever they want such as creating planets on a whim. Their tech is so strong that their auxiliary non-combat ship easily obliterates the most advanced tech that is available to the younger species of the Halo series. And the Flood defeated them. Utterly and completely to the point that a mutually assured destruction was their only solution.

      I don’t think there’s any evidence that the flood “produce” technology at all. Atleast not from what I’ve seen.

You’d think that they’re more than capable of doing so with a god like Gravemind controlling the wheel but they don’t do it.

      Once they had access to the Domain and unlocked the precursors’ neural physics technology they were unstoppable if I remember correctly. I also think that their most dangerous feat is how numerous Flood-infested ships escaped into other dimensional pockets via slipspace. Essentially this means that literally anywhere at any point in time a Flood ship could randomly punch back into our reality and begin a new outbreak immediately. You just can’t counter something like that because you’ll never see it coming.

    What that means is, you can annihilate the flood down to the base atomic level, but you can't ever STOP the flood completely.

    One part that wasn't fully gone into with the grave minds and key minds is that all grave minds and eventual key minds know everything from every mind before it all the way to the original. It makes them way more terrifying because of the fact the second a new mind is formed it is almost infinitely more intelligent than any opponents they come against, and will use that intelligence to manipulate what are normally it's food/enemies into fighting for or even alongside the flood similar to halo 2 and 3.

    And the only reason we have individuals who are resilient to the infection on the side of the humans was a fluke because of the research of Halsey who was originally looking to build super soldiers to crush rebellions, but a greater purpose for them was discovered.
    Spartan-1s have an actual resilience to the flood due to the augmentations, whilst Spartan-IIs and onward I don't believe have a confirmed resilience (but probably still do), but the Mjolnir armour filters out anything airborne and the shielding stops them from making contact.

      As of Halo: Saturn Devouring His Son, the outbreak at forerunner research site 22 resulted in spartan fireteam leviathan being infected by flood spores, overwhelming their bio/hazmat-containment training and equipment. Corrupter protocol was enacted and all personnel was given only seven minutes to evacuate before bombardment.
      Several craft made it out before site 22’s destruction. However, at least one attacker form managed to board a Condor, presumably escaping the planet breaker nuke.
      Given Halo Infinite’s S4 armor theme, the UNSC is aware of the high possibility there is a Condor adrift in space with a Flood-Infected Spartan aboard.

    Wait till you find out what the Precurseors actually are. We knew about Precusor technology working on the concept that the universe is a neural network, as if the entire universe was a living entity. The precusors figured out a way to transcend to a hirer plane of existence and join that higher mind.
    Turns out, we were only partially right. The Precursors, the Flood and the Universe was infact the entire same entity. but like matter has different states (solid, liquid and gas), THe Universe has it's 3 forms too:
    -The Neural Network (The living universe)
    -The Precusors (The sheperds/Matle holders)
    -The Flood (The way the universe digest life)
    THe universe becomes precusors inorder to travel the univers and create life. Those liforms are the sheep and the Precusors are the shepards (hence the mantle of respibility) These life fomrs are meant to flourish and have good and bad expereinces. Emotions are like a sweetness to hte universe and the universe wants those experiences. Then wehn enough life is in the niverse, The precusors goes into their Flood form, to digest us and all ourcollective emotions and experiences, even our ancestors through genetic memory.
    When the flood has eaten enough they transcent back into the Neural netowrk to enrich the universe.
    So we are living in the thing that eats us inother words, we are the way the universe gets to know itself.

    The Flood are basically the zerg from Starcraft on ecstasy, steroids, and bath salts. Mind you, The Flood would destroy The Zerg, since they can infect any lifeform and while the zerg evolve by consuming biomass, the flood could easily turn that against them since they could infect other zerg where as zerg could not infect flood creatures. A pair of videos I'd suggest to check out is one where you have The Flood vs The Necromorphs of Deadspace; RoanokeGaming made his case for the Necromorphs while HiddenXperia made his for The Flood; that is one was knowledgeable on The Flood and the other on The Necromorphs. The conclusion was mostly up for the viewer to decide.
    Both are terrifying and could easily wipe out humanity and are very malevolent entities to any living entity, be it human, animal, or alien. The Flood would in most scenarios win, imo, but there is some conditions that would give the necromorphs the advantage. I so reccommend watching both videos and figuring out which would win.

Terrans are Terrans, Zerg are Tyranids, Protoss are Eldar.

    So, as the video said, there used to be ancient Humans along with the Forerunners, both created by the Precursors. The last precursor was captured by the Forerunners in a time lock vault, one we see in Halo: Infinite. When interrogated, it revealed the true nature of the universe, and it was so shocking to those who heard it, many committed suicide immediately because of the revelation. The Precursor revealed that their mastery of reality had led to development of neural physics, a way to tap into the consciousness of all reality. And they found out that reality wants life to exist everywhere. This is the truth of the Mantle of Responsibility that the Precursors upheld. The universe does not discern between good or bad things. Hate, love, hope, despair. It is all "sweetness" to the universe. So the Mantle is meant to spread life everywhere just so that the universal consciousness of creation can keep experiencing the sweetness of all the good AND bad things that happen to living beings. The neural (brain) physics of sentient and sapient beings living and dying, loving and suffering, is but a sweet food for the universe and that is the only truth and meaning to existence. Obviously finding out this revelation is soul shattering to any being who might believe in a higher power that wants good things for living beings and existence, because it also wants bad things for us all too.
    Also, the Precursors were able to tap into alternate realities and drain the energies from them for their own use. Crazy stuff.

    I've been a Halo fan since late middle school. 'Twas today I learned that a Flood infestation is SO MUCH HORRIFICALLY WORSE than I thought. If we have a Flood infestation, I'm dousing myself in gasolene, pulling the pin on a grenade, and jumping into a vat of napalm. That is a WHOLE bunch of nope to the billionth power. And now I'm gonna go watch someone play through Halo 2 for some reason. 😂

  • @alexanderschwarz8828
    @alexanderschwarz8828 Рік тому +2

    The last evolution of the Gravemind is the Keymind. Which is a Gravemind that can cover multiple planets and are known to open rifts in space to travel faster than the forerunners could move to defend planets that are defenseless which was one of the main reasons the forerunners lost. The other reasons they lost were because they failed to contain it much like the old humans and prophets 10,000 years early during the human-forerunner war, and failed to quarantine there people resulting in widespread infection of entire planets and the near extinction of the forerunners and all other sentient life. Also if the forerunners handled the outbreak like the humans and covenant did during the Human-Covenant war they would have beat the flood, because their were many outbreaks of the flood caused by Humans and the Covenant that were contained and destroyed in days resulting in destruction of entire planets and solar systems. An example of an outbreak that was successfully destroyed by the Humans and Elites was in Africa they glassed half of Africa, then the UNSC sent in their own ships and bombed half of Africa after it was glassed, then sent in troops after that to wipe out the surviving flood.

    I hate to take Ken's side with the scenario given at the end of the video (because it's bleak), but I feel he's right. Even if humanity knew of another planet we could escape to, and we somehow managed to flee to it without carrying the infection there ourselves? The Flood would have learned about it's existence by assimilating the rest of our population. If there were such a world then I can only assume that would be the very next stop on the Flood's interstellar invasion.
    All that said, I loved the reaction!

    Only reason Earth didn't fall in Halo 3 to the flood was because of Rtas 'Vadum (Shipmaster or Half-jaw as the community calls him) glassing the major area around Voi and New Mombasa. Thel telling Rtas to not glass earth completely probably for me shows just how much of a mental shift the betrayal of the prophets was to him. Before he became the Arbiter he probably would not have even batted an eye to glassing earth to stop the flood.

    I was kinda worried at the beginning of the video as the presenter seemed to be conflating a Flood Spore and a Flood Infection Form. Luckily, I think he kinda rectified it near the end when he described the danger of breathing the air. If you fight the flood without any sort of breathing apparatus or full body armor, you are already condemned to death the second you breathe. I'm not sure about the armor part actually, but I'm assuming that a bundle of flood cells in a spore can't be good for your bare skin if they land on it.

    The halo games never explain the flood’s origins. The forerunner trilogy of books do and explain different theories of what happened in the ancient Halo universe lore. What the video explains are just one of the four theories the forerunner trilogy explore of the Floods origin, theories of why the forerunners tried to kill off the all precursors. The books explore theories of the floods main goal. Moving through the first theory all the way to the fourth. Getting from theory to theory explains more and more the terrifying reality of the flood. And how it’s related to a real theoretic science about neural physics. Im not a UA-camr so I don’t know if it be possible to see you two react to a UA-cam video “the Primordials horrific secret”. The video isn’t about the theories of the flood’s existence because I haven’t found one video which explores the theories.
