The didact almost destroyed mankind, you think he is weak ?
How do you think did he die ? Without cortana's help, or if only they werent standing on a light bridge, humanity would have been doomed.
As you can see from the game that getting near to didact is extremely hard, even on forerunner scale, aswell as you didnt actually see forerunner weapons, you saw promethean weapons, which are robots, would you trust your robots the strongest weapons ?
The composer has been destroyed by HAVOK nuke because it was inside, the shields, dont let the explosion wave pass, making the nuke much more stronger... Find me a race, that has a ship which can handle a nuke explosion inside with shields that double, triple the explosion wave.
Cortana may not be new, but you dont see AI's like cortana or even older AI's everywhere, they are extremely rare, almost every forerunner had an ancilia, also can you please tell me where didact says that cortana is impressive ? Otherwise the forerunner ancilia are way stronger than cortana.
There are many explanations to why the didact is shorter than 15 foot, it depends on his mutation, maybe he has some special mutation before SPOILERS !!!!
Before the librarian tried to kill him.
Yes, Didact has his force choke, but all it really took to kill him was a grenade and a drop into a pool of swirling energy-lava stuff. Seemed rather anticlimactic.
The Prometheans were supposed to be guarding Didact, one of the most dangerous beings alive. They should have strong weapons, otherwise, how could they stop him from escaping?
Even so, the HAVOK is not the UNSC's strongest nuke. Considering the Keyship took several MACs and a bombing run without a single scratch after plowing through the entire Earth defense fleet (and we saw no shields activate), a single HAVOK is pitifully small.
Near the end of the game, when you plug Cortana into a terminal on Didact's ship, Didact says something along the lines of "This is what you have been hiding? An evolved ancilla?" and mentions that he can not find Cortana in the system and is later locked out by Cortana.
He may have mutated, but it is still a far cry from 15 feet tall with limbs like tree trunks. In addition, mutations require another Forerunner. Hopefully Silentium will shed some light on why he is so small.
I cannot answer that all, but il do my best...
Well yes, i agree the death of didact by a grenade is something unexpected, but we cant be sure if he actually died from the grenade, the energy obviously would have killed him. And yet we dont know if he actually died ? I mean my general idea about halo 5 is that the didact comes back, i mean how can the story continue ?
Well you can see that they werent meant to "guard" him, they were made by the didact himself to fight the flood. Aswell as, we can see that the didact needs someone else to escape, he cant escape himself.
That can be explained, the Composer wasnt meant to be a military ship, it is more like of a scientific station. The keyships even if not fully meant for war, are still warships, they were used to fight before they had a specific meaning (activating portals).
Maybe he meant as in an advanced for humans ? Or something like that, i completely agree on your point but its kinda hard to believe that cortana even matches a regular ancilia. Maybe he meant evolved ancilia in terms of feelings ? She wants to feel everything around her.
I agree on the last thing, its kinda strange for a forerunner, but remember that when chief was actually near to the didact (enough to compare between the two) you can see that the didact is a bit taller, aswell as remember that the didact inhanced MC making him taller, i can tell that he is taller comparing him to Palmer.
Overall, these are just my theories and i cannot actually proove anything.
He most likely died. He got a grenade to the face, thrown in the energy pool, and then had his ship blown up by a nuke. Hopefully, the Precursors will be the new villains. However, that is a matter for another time. Until confirmed otherwise, I think Didact is dead.
They were repurposed. If they were intended to help Didact they would have done so. It is not until Didact escapes do the Prometheans turn red and start aiding him. Before that they were trying to stop you from getting to the Didact.
While it is possible that it is a non-combatant ship, it is definitely packing a ton of firepower for something not meant for war. In addition, the Didact's ship would definitely be heavilly armoured alongside the fact the the stuff Forerunners build there ships out of is really strong.
Cortana manages to lock Didact out of the system temporarily and evade his capture for a while in the ship. While evolved could mean in terms of humanity, like you said, Cortana does demonstrate that she can beat whatever ancilla or security the Didact has.
Do you mean when the Librarian evolves Chief? Because before that, when the Didact first appears, he pulls Chief close to him and they are similar in height then too.
To be honest, i dont want precursors as enemies, precursors are way more advanced than forerunners and now that cortana's gone, it would be an overkill for precursors.
Yes but i still think that normal forerunner soldier class is stronger, obviously having more logical moves and more powerfull equipment.
Well i guess those are just defences fortified to hold off the flood a little while the prometheans go battle it. I mean the didact alone ported into a flood infected area in the terminals, even if he had prometheans the flood could have borded, the infestation wasnt small. Yet, i cannot back that up.
The thing is, that we are not sure if the didact did actually have an ancillia, i mean he was laying in the same place for 100,000 years, even the strongest "contender class" go to rampancy, i doubt librarian would leave him with an ancilia anyway. But i agree, Cortana did a pretty impressive job.
Yes thats exactly what i meant, you can see that before the chief got evolved the didact was sagnifically bigger put the timer to 01:54 and you can see difference between unevolved chief and didact.
