something i don't understand is how can gravemind be on High Charity? He was on Delta Halo to begin with right?...he is a huge frickin venis-fly-trap right?...so HOW can he be on High Charity? i dont think that there was enough room on In Amber Clad or any covenant ship...so what did he do...grow wings and fly? unless he can change forms and travel as a normal flood but that dosnt make any sense...
NEED INFO!!!

The Arbiter broke the Quarantine on Delta Halo, to reach the index. Gravemind then broke out of the quarantine zone. Perhaps he was on a ship to High Charity. or MORE LIKELY he had control of Delta Halo's teleporting system. If you recall from Halo 2, he Sent the captured MC and Arbiter in 2 different directions using the Delta Ring teleporting system.

Keep in mind that now he is on High Charity Which has NO power supply due to the Forerunner ship leaving. High Charity is Dead in space. but sadly the drop ships were infected bt flood and undoubtedly multiple Capital ships were infected and captured by Gravemind. Cortana is our only hope......

When does it imply that Gravemind is on High Charity? He speaks through the communication channels on High Charity and it states that his intended vector was In Amber Clad.

At the very end of the game, you see his tentacles coming through a doorway on High Charity towards Cortana.

the last cutscene in halo 2 clearly shows him and cortana talking on High Charity

OMG - Gaming for the fun of it in the UK and Europe

Gravemind isn't a snob, he takes the bus using his saver card. If you look after the pennies............

I remember now!

He has control of the teleporters because he has assimilated 2401 Penitent Tangent.

Yes, he does have control of the teleportation grid. However, the range of the telepotation grid is anywhere on Delta Halo not out into space. His spread was never completely explained except for one statment that I remember from somewhere stating that he spreads with the flood.

I've thought that possibly there's more than one Gravemind or he travels with the flood...as in he is ALL of the flood. Like the dissemberse when they need to travel or take over someone and they reassemble when they need to form Gravemind.

and plus maby the teleportaiton grid isnt as accurate because of his huge mass. and if he was able to how did he know that he would FIT inside High Charity? it is big but HE dosnt know that. he could have made a wrong calculation and been split into a thousand tiny pieces and spread into a thousand tiny rooms...

I always thought of him as more of an oversized cabbage really. I'm not quite certain, but I don't think in the few cutscenes of Halo 2 that show him, that we acctually see the whole of the Gravemind. I agree that he is pretty big, and I'm not quite sure how he manages to move around so easily with his emense weight, but he does it quite nicely and quite quickly. I'm pretty sure that he was on the In Amber Clad. That's the only thing that makes sense to me as to how he made it over there to High Charity.

I've always wondered about Gravemind. I've never understood his purpose.

Help a brother out. Click on the referral link, sign up for a fun game, log in once for the next couple of days, then you never have to think about it again!

And yes. I understand how pathetic that is, but nobody reads these things anyway... right?

Maybe high charity crashed into the halo, giving the Gravemind free access to it.

He is the controling intelligence behind the flood. Perhaps Halo 3 will shed more light on his ambitions.

Could be.But maybe it didnt crash,it passed by and he ' jumped ' on it.More likely tho he just teleported.

His intentions are what really confuse me...He obviously wants control of the Halos and the Ark, but why? Aren't they supposed to be no harm to him? They would destroy all his food, but then again, what did he do for food while life "didn't exsist?"

High Charity is close enough to teleport to. How else would you explain Master Chief being teleported on High Charity?

The teleportation grid is quite accurate as well. Gravemind was able to send the Master Chief directly to where the Prophets were (don't ask me how he had that knowledge). It obviously wasn't *poof* this is as close as I can get you, find your own way now.

Stats Don't Mean Anything If You Cheat

I think the flood went into hibernation or sommit but in my opinion rather than starve the flood to death the easy way to eliminate them is with alot of shotguns and on topic i reckon gravemind teleported
