How does the gravemind move around ? well i think the gravemind was a taken over forerunner official by the flood. And he comanded the flood to pile up bodies of themselves or other bodies to make a humungous body that the forerunner official flood took over and changed its shape.i think forerunners can teleport so that how gravemind move around since he may be a forerunner official

They come here; they all come here. How do they find me?

what? Captain Keyes was flood for like two days as a brain form


gravemind can tap into the teleportation system because he caught penitent tangent

Thank you! Because he held and Flood Interacted with 2401 Penitent Tangent, the same as how he would (assuming he has) taken over Cortana. Same process the Flood use to pilot dropships.

Is it possible that Gravemind is just a huge snake-like creature? Well, for us, the possiblities are endless since we only saw the head peice in the game and not much else except a few of his tentacles. But really, my vote is on a snakish like being.

No, he doesn't have Cortana's A.I., but remember in the cut-scene just after Quarantine Zone. He has the A.I. of the Oracle (can't remember his exact name) of the Delta Halo. Maybe he used it.

Gravemind must use the teleportation system through Halo. I do not see how he got into High Charity; a being so large would not be able to fit there. Also, Cortana could just seal the door and cut off his tentacles, but whatever. Also, the teleportation grid would not expand into High Charity, unless he found a way.

This is a modded picture, showing what Gravemind looks like from another angle.

Like many have said before me, the Gravemind likely uses Delta Halo's teleportation grid owing to the fact that he captured 2401 Peniant Tangent.

Grave mind is a collection of souls and minds trapped with in. Or in other words all lifeforms that any flood has ever tapped into eventuly goes to gravemind which would give grave mind his wisdom and understanding... and pain aswell. Also if oyu havent noiced he looks like a venus flytrap which ironicly suits him well because like a venus fly trap hes misleading and seemingly harmless until his prey lets there gaurd down and bam!!! hes got ya like a fly in a traps mouth jsut that simple. Also from the way he looks id say hes more of a plant form the venus flytrap head the tenticles being like roots hes probely got a small stock comingo f the back of his head to his roots but bascily a giant -blam!- up plant!!!! And 1 more thing the flood cnat seee they usally sensory probes on the end of littel shafts to sence there environment for movement and vibratiosn so how the heck can they fly a pelican if they cant see where there going im sure they cant sence whats going on outside the pelicen lol.

the gravemind's torso is similar to the torso of the flood carrier forms. dont ask me how i know i remember seeing it in a cut scene. trust me

  • 07.23.2006 9:22 PM PDT

My first impression of Gravemind was Little Shop of Horrors. Anyone whose seen it knows what I'm talking about.

The grave mind does not teleport around halo he uses the under ground systems mentioned in the halo novel "the flood" and becuse the seconed ring is the same as the first he would know were to go. Also on the holl telporting matter the grave mind has flood infested cities under his controle so with all the knowlege he has absorbed being around for 1,000,000's of years it would not be a problem.(Becuse you know the grave mind had the ring world to him self, and all being the last flood alive and the only orginism around for 25,000,000 lite years after the forerunners activated one of the ring's.)
