Halo Recapped: The Complete Timeline So Far (Halo Lore)

Halo has created a universe spanning hundreds of thousands of years with the announcement of Halo Infinite instead of being dumbfounded by all these characters like who is this guy and this will recap the overall journey of Halo from start to finish. My name is token and you. You're looking at a summary of everything you need to know about the Halo universe so far. It all begins more than a hundred thousand years ago, a time when things were simple and ancient humanity traveled into space. The expansion of ancient humanity throughout the Milky Way was profound, but there was a parasite. emits a parasite that survives through the consumption and assimilation of entire civilizations and were known as the flood, nothing that bad, so I thought that humans would just start running as fast as we can in that direction, so while fleeing, humanity arrived on a planet that belongs to a race known as the precursors but surprise the flood was already on that planet the humans fighting there was no other option and probably having new shiny warheads to test they decided that the only way to stop them would be to annihilate this planet this act of kindness was a mistake as aggression on the part of the foreigners, especially on the part of the Didact, who was the supreme commander of the precursor army and was evil because he had a British accent, he believed that humans were unworthy of obtaining the mantle of responsibility, this is the obligation of most of ancient life. ways of acting as caretakers of lesser lives, ironically, the foreigners themselves are said to have stolen the mantle from their own caretakers, the forerunners, by simply annihilating them and they did so out of jealousy because as a result, the forerunners wished to pass the mantle on to humanity.

The Human Precursor War started and lasted for about fifty years and also killed all the Didact children, so he was a bit bitter. The humans lost the war and it was not until then that the foreigners discovered the true reason for humanity's aggression. trying to stop the spread of the flood, but it was too late, the aliens were being infested with floods on their planets and the people were being consumed and twisted as punishment, the precursors forced the humans to start over on a planet that eventually would be known as Earth. humans were relegated to tribal communities building with wood and listening to Justin Bieber since 2010, but the first thing the Didact and his Prometheans, his most respected warrior servants, found in this punishment only to protect the galaxy against the flood that proposed to create a significant number of shield worlds to monitor and slow their growth, this idea was rejected and instead they decided to build super weapons capable of wiping out the entire galaxy, this was known as the

halo

set.

He was ordered to dismantle the worlds shield from him, but he refused, instead robbing the composer. A device that would transfer organic consciousness into mechanical shells in his own effort against the flood, turned his Promethean warriors into a synthetic army immune to the flood, however, his army seemed a bit weak at this point, so he thought why? not convert whole humans. communities and threw him into the army. Now the council didn't like this very much so they forced him to be imprisoned on one of their own shield worlds known as Requiem and this was at the hands of his own wife, the librarian, to whom she had been a prose superweapon.

She wanted to preserve life for later distribution rather than turning them into an army of mindless machines as the flood became more intelligent the precursors created a very powerful artificial intelligence known as mendicant bias he was excellent at setting timers shoveling lists of dan reproduction and leading the entire defense in their efforts against the flood, they decided to use this AI to test a

halo

ring on the homeworld of an alien race known as the San Shu and it worked very well. They all died while having a conversation with the Grave Mind of the Flood, an entity that exists as Flood Intelligence.

The mendicant bias decided that he no longer wanted to play random music for the foreigners, instead he wanted to start killing them. The fight against the flood became desperate with a serious mind and the mendicant bias organized a great assault against the forerunners. The seven rings were built by the newly created ones. installation 0-0 the minor arc these were the final rings that formed the ultimate death machine killing the floods food was the only way to stop them before activation humanity with all other species were stored in the arm and portals were placed slipspaces on their homeworlds the rings activated and boy did they do a great job, everything was very, very dead, fortunately the slipspace portals worked, humanity was transported to Africa and by the year 2500 humanity had once again spread across the world. galaxy, but only the remnants of foreign civilization exist, humanity entered an era of political unrest in which the outer colonies felt that there was an unequal distribution of wealth and supplied almost all resources to the inner colonies, so who devised a solution and became known as the insurrectionists who committed acts of terrorism while waging wars of attrition with the UNSC the military arm of the government in the interest of killing the insurrectionists more effectively dr.

Catherine Halsey, an office of naval intelligence scientists, created a program known as Spartan to project, since money was tight, she thought why not just kidnap children through brutal military exercises and experimental augmentation surgeries and co

d a liner and so on in 25 :17 the project started. Children were taken from their homes and schools and replaced by clones who would quickly die erasing the real children from existence. Many of the subjects died in the grueling processes, but those who survived became stronger and faster than thought possible once Parton proved his worth. be one of the best and was appointed leader of his own fire team known as blue team, his name was John one one seven and he would become a highly decorated veteran for his actions against the insurrectionists, but then humanity discovered that they were not alone in the universe this attack began the human covenant war the Covenant had been destroying the outer colonies one by one beginning with the harvest turning their surface into glass using plasma during the final days of the harvest the fire spirit of the UNSC defended the planet under the command of Captain James The Covenant cutter had managed to discover a precursor relic on the planet that acted as a map room detailing the locations of four others on our artifacts.

Using this information, the Covenant targeted a second Arcadian human colony following them, the fire spirit crew discovered that the planet's defenses had already been destroyed and the Covenant discovered more foreign ruins while Professor Ellen Anders, a fire spirit researcher , begins to document the area where she is kidnapped by the Arbiter, a rank in the Covenant given to those who are ashamed so she can bring back her owner from death and the battle with Anders the Covenant wanted to use her to activate a battleship. precursor as they discovered that only humans can activate precursor technology the fire spirit follows closely and eventually emerges above the shield world entering shelter here Anders drives to escape back to the fire spirit, but not before encountering the flood which despite the halo assembly managed to continue to exist by removing its slipspace drive and planting it in the inner Sun of the shield world, they sent it into a supernova destroying the facility along with the Covenant fleet.

The Covenant used the technology of this shield world. The Covenant would have sent humanity to extinction. However, without a space glide engine, the fire spirit would not be able to return to human space, as traveling below the speed of light meant they could have been thousands of years away from home. The ship begins the long journey home, its crew enters cryogenic sleep without knowing when or where they would wake up and at 25:34 the UNSC declared the ship was lost with all its members, as a result, humanity had no idea. of the existence of the flood as a result.

The war progressed, a new Spartan program was being carried out instead of kidnapping children who could now make discounts. The Spartans known as the Three Spartans meet this Spartan right here, the Six Nobles don't know his name because they are you along with Carter the Cat, Emil June, and George. who is greater because of his forgiveness: they form the noble team in 2552, the noble team was sent to the planet reach with the understanding that it was a possible insurrectionary conflict, although upon arrival they realize that these are not insurrectionists, these people The Covenant Noble team was called to defend the Oni Sword base where Dr.

Halsey was working on an item that a cat stole from one of Palsy's scientists and which contained an important plot device to destroy. the Covenant or something else, who knows what. Noble assisted with defense efforts against the invading Covenant, but it became clear that the planet was doomed to be glassed. sword base Halsey instructs the six nobles to deliver a fragment of an AI known as Cortana to the autumn pillar to escape the planet. Joon escorted Halsey in evacuating him while the rest of the noble team was killed in action, the Autumn Pillar escaped and was blinded. slipspace jump to escape the Covenant only to accidentally stumble upon a Halo Ring World Installation Zero for John-117 The Master Chief who was aboard the Pillar of Autumn was awakened with an order to protect Cortana, so who cares?

Does the rest of the crew matter? Jon ran he didn't stop until he was the only survivor of a crashed escape pod. The boss was now stranded on the mysterious ringworld while the pillar of autumn landed manually with the help of Cortana's instructions. The boss arrives at the ring control room to identify the captain's keys one last time. location, once you get there, there are no keys in sight. What is that unusual sound? Oh no, it's always the flood. The flood had been stored in the halo ring in a dormant state and the Covenant who had been snooping around made them considerably less dormant because they thought the ring was some kind of religious symbol that would propel them to paradise, but oh were they wrong! 343 Guilty Spark, the AI ​​monitor of this halo ring was asked to activate its facility like with Professor Anders on the shield world, only a human could do it.

So Guilty Spark teleports the Master Chief and instructs him to recover the activation rate from Hell itself, the library, the boss ignores the whole recoverer thing and under the impression that the ring could be used as a weapon against the Covenant, he happily does so. obtains and just as the boss was inadvertently about to kill all life in twenty-five thousand light years. Cortana realizes Halo's true purpose now. 343 Guilty Spark doesn't really like the boss's apprehension and Cortana doesn't really like the spark stone, so the boss gets the Get Out of There! Cortana orders the boss to detonate Autumn's fusion reactor so the ring can be destroyed.

How to operate the Autumn. They have to locate Captain Key's neural implant. Unfortunately, he had already succumbed to the flood and was on his merry way to conversion. A grave minded boss of Pirtle had no time for this nonsense and with the implant in his hand he flew to the Fall Pillar crash site and fought his way to the reactor. Guilty Spark tried to stop him and failed, and with a well-placed grenade or enough Autumn's engine was set to overload the Chief and Cortana they escaped on a boar along Autumn's roof. She reaches for a long sword where she escapes into the distance.

Halon and everyone on it was

ly destroyed not long after the destruction of Sine Facility Zero. Covenant Supreme Commander Healey who had failed to stop the chief was tried before the High Council. You have been very bad and on the human side the boss would be very good and you get a medal. You get a medal. Everyone receives medals. Suddenly interrupting the ceremony. Lord Hood's generous mental donation, a Covenant fleet appears in slipspace incredibly, they did not expect there to be humans on Earth, the Covenant boarded the space stations with the intention of blowing them up, so the boss returned the favor by giving back to the Covenant. your bomb.

Then and lands on the amber-clad ship, the ship was commanded by none other than Captain Keyes' daughter, Miranda Keyes, the boss joined the UNSC on Earth to fight the Covenant threat and successfully held off their invasion, which led the prophet of repentance to flee the Earth hastily jumping to the right. At the top of the city of New Mombasa, fortunately, theamber-clad was excited with the queue of repentance and the chief on board came out of slipspace. They discover that regret had led them to another halo ring. The prophet's intention was to activate this ring, but the boss had had enough. this, so he catapulted himself down with a couple of OD STS, Regret mounted him and literally punched him to death while the boss escaped.

Hello, the mobile capital of conventions has arrived to stop it. They began to glaze the surface of the ring, so the boss began. Running very quickly in the opposite direction aboard his charity, the disgraced commander of the pact was being given a chance at redemption and by redemption they mean suicide missions by assuming the role of referee, his task was to assassinate the leaders of the heretics, a faction of the government that broke away after learning the truth of the halo rings made it known that they will not send you to paradise and that they will kill you and everyone you love.

The referee was successful and also found 343 Guilty Spark who had escaped from the first grade. For the heretics and the spark of the pact was known as the Oracle of the great journey for his deep knowledge about the Rings, the four sparks could explain the reason for the defection of the heretics and the truth about the matrix in which the brute commander Tartarus He captured it upon returning. high charity the hierarch prophets declared that they regret the death at the hands of the chief's fists as a failure of the Lee psyche eliminating them as protectors of the prophets granting this role to the brutes, although the arbiter remained the arbiter, so he was sent On another suicide mission to recover the activation index for the newly discovered ring, which means heading to the fiery pits of hell, the Arbiter finds and captures Miranda's keys and Sergeant Johnson, who had managed to recover the index just as the Arbiter he was about to keep the index.

Tartarus appears and reveals. that the hierarchs intended for him to die, Tartarus then threw the referee off the ledge directly into the clutches of the great mind Ward, had the boss. It was here that the serious mind helped the referee question his faith in the big trip, that is, obviously. halos a superweapon to the grave he was interested in avoiding the firing of the halo ring so that he would not die of hunger it was necessary to preserve all who reluctantly gathered the chief and the referee Jordan forces to stop the prophets the mine of the Tomb teleported the Arbiter near Halos' control room fighting his way there with the help of Sergeant Johnson, who had taken over a Scarab blinded by his belief in the great journey.

Tartarus forced Miranda to activate the halo ring with her human touch. The referee killed him quickly or slowly, it depends on how good you are. are and with Tartarus dead Miranda manages to recover the index just in time and activates the halo ring, however, 343 Guilty Spark notified them that this had activated a failsafe protocol sending a signal to the rest of the halo array putting all the rings waiting. for remote activation from the minor brand while the referee's keys and Johnson fought with Tartarus, the boss was sent to higher charities to stop the truth. Unfortunately, it is too late for the truth to escape to earth.

The boss had no choice but to leave Cortana behind as she had the starry amber dress prepared for detonation in the event of the ring being activated using the graphical elevators, the boss launched himself towards the precursor battleship that the Covenant had gotten to Being able to end this fight with the boss heading towards Earth, the tomb mine had

ly taken control of High Charity and with it now holding Cortana captive, two weeks later, the boss plummets through Earth's atmosphere after to separate from the precursor battleship. Here he is found by Johnson and the Arbiter, who the boss is happy to see fight their way to a UNSC Outpost where they learn of a final effort to prevent the truth from activating the ark whose teleport had been located beneath the outskirts. from New Mombasa.

All this time together, the Chief and the Arbiter destroyed the Covenants' anti-aircraft defenses so that Lord Hood could attack the The prophets float the truth activated the artifacts creating a slipspace portal that the Covenant entered at the same time as a ship infested with Flood lands nearby and on board they discovered a UNSC construction that turned out to be bare and blue. Theirs turned out to be a recording of Cortana urging them to get to the ark, the humans and an ally sang head of the Healy faction through the portal, helped by 343 Guilty Spark, who without his ring had no other purpose, they arrived at the zero zero facility that existed beyond. from the edges of the Milky Way galaxy but are closely followed by the flood that reaches High Charity and quickly infests the ark.

Truth kidnaps Johnson to activate the Rings' killer keys and attempts suicide on him. Johnson is then forced to activate the Rings against his will, which is definitely a trap as a leader. An Arbiter fights in the control room, the Undermind forges a truce once again to stop Truth with the support of the Flood, Covenant forces were quickly dispatched, allowing the Arbiter to kill the partially infected Truth, where At this point I was probably really hoping that this big trip would solve the problem. The boss deactivated the array, but the tomb could quickly power up the jewel they escaped only to discover that the art had been building a replacement for facility zero because, fortunately, the ark was over a hundred thousand light years from the edge of the Milky Way, so they decided. the best solution was to activate the ring to eliminate the flood in the ark, the duo saved Cortana from a great charity, overloading the city engine to kill the tomb, old personnel other than Chief Johnson and the referee, evacuated the ark.

Cortana stayed because she has no choice after arriving at Halos' new control room 343 Guilty Spark informs Johnson that the ring would be ready to fire in a few more days. Now Johnson felt this was impractical, especially as the tomb mine was trying to rebuild, the only problem was the shot. of the ring at this stage would probably destroy the ring itself. Spark deemed this unacceptable and opened fire on Johnson. The boss retaliated, but it was too late to save his friend. Johnson, mortally wounded, urged the chief to dispatch him with a hit with the ring activated.

This was an easy request, the boss, an Arbiter ran towards the Forward Unto Dawn as the ring shook to destruction as Dawn arrives at the portal with the Arbiter controlling it very quickly and realizes that he has no idea how to pilot a human ship and closes before they could arrive. cutting the dawn in half, the referees side ended up on earth, the boss and Cortana ended up in an unknown place in space, the boss, with no other option, crouched down and you asked Cortana to wake him up when the game received a high score of ninety doctors. anna did it two years after the ark event dr.

Catherine Halsey is arrested and interrogated for kidnapping children and turning them into super soldiers shortly after being released under strict supervision, which basically goes unpunished after what she did, and in the year 2557 Cortana wakes up the boss when the dawn is approached by the Covenant, the boarding party was a remnant Covenant force led by Jill Madama. The dawn had moved towards Requiem, the shield world where the Didact was imprisoned hundreds of thousands of years before and the remnant of the covenant wanted to enter the planet, it seems to scam the boss. what he sees then proceeds to suck him in and the Covenant force themselves inside as the dawn disintegrates around them, the boss arriving at the escape pods just as Cortana begins to act and usually before the boss can address this. , suddenly a cruise ship collides with dawn, throwing the boss towards the planet and knocking him out, surviving the fall, the boss wakes up and finds himself inside the planet.

Cortana explains that his previous ironic behavior was being unrestrained jutsu and no one trades with advanced AI as they age, they start to think they are dead. The boss suggests trying to find a ship and fly back to earth to see if dr. Halsey could fix this, which given her current situation, with the glass half full, the boss catches up with the cartographer fighting a new colt on the way, the synthetic Didact Prometheus, the cartographer reveals a signal coming from the UNSC infinity supercarrier, they decided That would be a good solution. idea to enter the big hole on the strange planet with the boss and Cortana, they both agree that it is a terrible idea, they try to warn them, but it was unsuccessful, they try to follow the infinity signal and discover that an unusual object is its origin .

It opens from the inside revealing the Didact, he quickly defeats the boss and declares that the precursors will return. He makes some comments about how weak humanity is, only someone even better, the boss escapes from the Didact and quickly retreats because yeah, he's a little weaker than the Didact. path to infinity while fending off the Prometheans and the Covenant who have joined forces because, why not, upon arriving at the ship, the boss meets the cheerful Captain Andrew Del Rio and Commander Palmer, who is herself a Spartan by orders of voluntary adduction instead of infantile. an attack on the gravity well which prevents Infinity from leaving before the boss can complete his objective, however the deceased librarian approaches him in a vision telling him to use the force and also telling him about the history of existence of the precursors. of ancient humanity and the Didact's intentions to compose humanity in its entirety even while opposing the Didact, she provided the chief with immunity to the composer.

I mean, this guy is classic bad, the truth was wrong and my grave had to be eaten, but this guy walks. a bad egg returning to the Infinity, Captain Del Rio has a nice exchange with the boss and decides that he wants to leave the planet now and pretend the whole Didact thing comes from enslaving humanity. Things this doesn't happen. Cortana challenges the captain and yells a little. is a sign of debauchery that leads Rio to order the boss to hand her over, which is a fair enough policy, but that's not going to happen, so the boss steals a pelican and tries to stop the Didact himself, who after All of which has basically happened masochism at this point before the boss could catch up to him, Dye escapes escorted by the Covenant and reaches one of the ships which the boss clings to for dear life as they enter slipspace and the He chases to the Ivanoff station where the composer resided, unable to defend himself from the Didact. obtains the composer and activates him in the station's equipment, turning everyone but the boss, thanks to the librarians' gift, into ashes while the Didact races to earth to compose humanity, the boss hidden beneath the shields of the Didact, once he reaches the earth, the infinity blows a hole in However, the helmet allows the boss to enter, it is too late and the Didact activates the composer by shooting at the earth and composing a new Phoenix.

Finally, the boss reaches the Didact after attaching Cortana to his ship and defeating him with a precursor pulse grenade. He falls, but he's dead, who knows. The boss then manually detonates the nuclear bomb he was carrying, destroying the composer. Cortana uses the ship to teleport the boss away from the explosion using intense light technology. She was able to touch him for the first and last time, welcoming him home and fading the The boss adrift in space was rescued by the Infinity and for the first time since Halo 2, he still had his armor removed and, oh god, the smell, the chief confirms the destruction of the composer and Cortana, but not the death of the Didact, leading the UNSC to publicly blame the pact.

Remnants of the new Phoenix Incident, after many years of believing that the boss was dead, he reunites with the blue team which now consists of Fred Kelly and Linda, together they were sent to discover the former location of the composer and finally found the forge of the composer that contained six new composers. Yes, Didac was alive, so they killed him once and for all, now he is dead and all the composers were destroyed, so with that it was all over, dr. Halsey, who had escaped the UNSC by joining forces with Jewel Madama, contacted the UNSC with information about foreign attacks that had been occurring on the human colonies.

It is now the year 2558 and the UNSC deploys Spartan for Team Osiris to recover her from the clutches of Jewel Madonna. Upon reaching the planet, come to catch him, the Covenant inexplicably loses control over the Prometheans. Osiris fights almost anything that moves. He reaches the jewel man. He now feels that a fight is coming on the bus with the murdered madam Joya. Halsey was recaptured. I mean, she'll never get a break, but. then again, child soldiers, meanwhile the blue team was infiltrating an Oni research ship that had been captured by covenant scavengers, while on board the bosshe has a vision of Cortana where she tells him that Meridian is next now Meridian is a planet in the outer colonies with a population.

Of the 5,000 or so who care about living snacks, the boss was going to find that his boss reassigns his team to Meridian against the orders of his superiors, he is worried that Cortana may be manipulating the boss using the domain, a vast precursor repository. PO Cyrus is sent to the Blue team again using These armored restraints after reaching the meridian, Osiris defended the colonists from an invading Promethean force long enough for them to escape and in return, Governor Sloane told them that the colony's leader of AI led them to the apogee settlement while it seemed that the blue team had faced no opposition.

Osiris were forced to fight waves of Prometheans and eventually defeated the eternal guardian who had presented himself as Cortana's servant. Spartan Locke manages to reach the boss and they engage in hand-to-hand combat with the boss overcoming the gaze and a Cyrus left behind the blue team makes his way towards a guardian, a precursor construct built to watch over the galaxy as peacekeepers, peacekeepers with weapons capable of destroying anything in their explosion radius. The Guardian emerges on Genesis, a planet that acts as a gateway to the domain where the boss meets with Cortana, who says that his debauchery was cured by foreign technology Osiris eager to impress locate the blue team traveled to the homeworld of Lea sang- hee, Saint Helios, to use an idle guardian to travel to his location, the remaining forces of the covenant were locked in their final position here and in the interest of breaking through. to the fastest Guardian Osiris joins forces with the Arbiter and helps him defeat the remaining forces that board the Guardian Osiris travels to Genesis upon arriving in Genesis they encountered the monitor caretaker of the planet oh three, an exuberant witness who, horrified by Cortana , locked her out of their systems, helps Osiris when they reach the blue team and upon finding the blue team, it is revealed that Cortana is planning to steal the mantle of responsibility for herself by using the Guardians to enforce galactic peace, the boss realizes He realizes this is a terrible idea and tries to convince Anna to come down, refusing to let Sheikhan find the blue team. in a 4runner Krypton and literally takes them with his Osiris manages to return control of Genesis to act as a witness, who steals and frees the blue justice team, Cortana leaves a guardian.

The AI ​​throughout the galaxy swore allegiance to Cortana, however, when she attempts to disable the UNSC infinity is AI Rowland remains loyal by making an emergency slipspace jump to escape Syrus along with the blue team returned to San Helios reuniting with Palmer and the Arbiter and for the first time in many years the boss is reunited with his mother figure, because with a The little Stockholm syndrome anything is possible a year later, in the year twenty-five fifty-nine, and after 28 years adrift in space , the spirit of The Fire begins to reactivate the crew who wake up due to an unexpected development of the cutter and Anders realized that they had somehow been transported through subspace to an unknown location outside the Milky Way and beneath they looming facility zero zero on the facility there is a known aggressive pact force.

Like the Banished, a splinter faction led by a tree ox who had rebelled against the Covenant near the end of the Human Covenant War, their forces increased in numbers after the war's conclusion and those who want to continue fighting the Covenant humanity recovered much of the retreated pact technology. the banished occupied the minor ark a fact the spirit of fire the crew quickly learned that they begin a campaign against the banished while finding a way to contact the UNSC during the fight the spirit of fire falls under attack of lasting conviction the flagship of the banished during this Anders forms a bold plan to contact the UNSC the ark had been building an entirely new zero-nine Hillary facility although the ark rings could only be space-slide to predetermined locations, fortunately the original location of the zero-force facility was nearby. out of reach of the human colony and the ring was no longer there, meaning Anders could use the halo ring, a super weapon capable of wiping out all life, as a method of reaching the UNSC, of ​​course, before sending it straight to the heart of human space.

The spirit of the fire team has to do it. get to his control room to disarm kill all part of the ring handling this the crew begins to evacuate unfortunately Anders can't make it out before the halo enters slipspace the fire spirit that remains in the ark continues to fight waiting for his return in his On the way to Zero Force Vista Facility the Halo is unexpectedly pulled out of slipspace and a perplexed Anders leaves the control room and reaches the surface only to be confronted by a Guardian and this leads us to follow the intricate and exciting journey that Halo continues with Halo.

Infinite at this point We can only speculate that if the zero nine facility at the end of Halo Wars 2 is the same ring revealed in the legendary ending of Halo 5 and how this all relates to the ring featured in the announcement trailer, everything What I can say is that the Halo universe has a lot more life to give just like the Master Chief story and looking at the latest trailer with the style, location and music, 343 are listening to the fans and I must say that I I feel even more confident about the next installment. I hope this video helps reconcile the giant halos of a universe, but this only scratches the surface, there are many more stories that have been told and are yet to be told.

If you have any questions that haven't been answered yet, let me know in the comments. I have a list of Halo videos coming soon about the story and community, so subscribe if you want more. Thanks so much for looking. I'll see you next time.
