The book's meta-narrative is framed as an communications log between [[Adjutant Revendicate]] - the [[sub-monitor]] of [[Installation 07]] created from the mind of the [[Auditor]] - and [[Invariant Bias]], Monitor of the [[Absolute Record]].

The ''Halo Encyclopedia''{{'}}s text is framed as the repository of information gathered by Revendicate, giving the book an in-universe grounding in a similar manner to the [[Curator]] meta-narrative framing [[2016]]'s ''[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]]''. | ||
Binary code exists attached to images of each chapter of the book along with the "The Absolute Record" prologue and "Audit Complete" epilogue. Although they are duplicated within their chapters, every chapter's binary code is distinct from one another. Joining them together in release order forms a code translating to "revenge." | |||

**The ''Halo 4''-given armaments for the ''Charon'' include 3 Hyperion missiles, and 50 [[Archer missile]] pods; the canon model (as depicted in ''Halo 3'' wouldn't be able to fit any Hyperions inside, and only has 5 Archer pods. The number of [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s and [[M870 Rampart point defense gun|Rampart]] point-defence turrets remains accurate to the canon model. | **The ''Halo 4''-given armaments for the ''Charon'' include 3 Hyperion missiles, and 50 [[Archer missile]] pods; the canon model (as depicted in ''Halo 3'' wouldn't be able to fit any Hyperions inside, and only has 5 Archer pods.

*The size statistics for the [[Klavrig Workshop Skitterer]], as listed on page 457, are enormous and much bigger than the Skitterer's in-game model or the [[:File:HW2 Skitterer.jpg|concept art]] scale reference, and even bigger than other vehicles in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' such as the [[Barukaza Workshop Locust|Locust]]. It is unclear whether this is an intentional upscaling, or an error in numbers. | *The size statistics for the [[Klavrig Workshop Skitterer]], as listed on page 457, are enormous and much bigger than the Skitterer's in-game model or the [[:File:HW2 Skitterer.jpg|concept art]] scale reference, and even bigger than other vehicles in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' such as the [[Barukaza Workshop Locust|Locust]].

* On page 479, the {{Pattern|Posu'gelka|needler}} is stated to be manufactured by Lodham Armory. Given [[Lodam Armory]] is a known manufacturer of the Needler, and this is the first time a “Lodham Armory” is mentioned in the series, it is most likely a typo. | |||
