Can someone give me a general summary on the Halo 3 Terminals and what they told?

I was always to lazy, but now im curious on what they said.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Ill summarize it to an extent. Lets just say Mendicant Bias has plans for Chief...

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Basically it details some events surrounding the Forerunner-Flood war through the POV of the Didact, the Librarian, Mendicant Bias, Gravemind and Filial Devotion. It all leads up to the firing of the Halo Array and Bias's plans for atonement.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

They talk about the Forerunner-Flood War, mostly though the Didact and the Librarian. However, the last one gives a hint for Halo 4.

3 post already? Dang.

Can you explain each of the characters for me? AKA Didact, Librarian, etc

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

Why the -blam!- can't you just go to halopedian, type in " Terminal" and just read them?


Really dude.

Don't be stupid like I was! Check to see what that Forum Ninja is saying to you!

It revealed that Mendicant Bias is a really large part of the Halo Storyline.

Calm down. If you freak out over this I would like to see your reaction to trolls.

And I was looking for SUMMARY, you know that thing that gives a brief overview of a topic, instead of all the transcripts.

Mendicant Bias turned on the Forerunners.

The forerunners didn't act soon enough to stop the flood.

Offensive Bias defeated Mendicant Bias.

Mendicant Bias realized he was a douche.

Mendicant Bias kept John safe on the ark. We don't know what he did.

Mendicant Bias seeks atonement for what he has done. He will be using the chief in order to do that.

Didact was leader of the forerunner military. He didn't want to activate the Halos but the Librarian (wife) convinced him that it was the only way.

The forerunners left the galaxy.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

This blog called Ascendant Justice used to be run by a few guys who work at 343i now and they did a FANTASTIC job with the terminals. I highly recommend it.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

On Legendary it explains the Forerunner-Flood War and you find out Medicant Bias was helping out the Chief on the Ark, and on Heroic and below, it explains the relationship and the duties of two Forerunner called Didact and The Librarian.

Wait, it's different of Legendary?

I'm going to have a quick trip to Halo 3.


Yeah, but you have to play through the whole level on Legendary, not just skip to the checkpoints closest to the terminal. If not, they will be as if you were on Heroic.
