*Illustrated by [[Nicolas Bouvier|Sparth]], the cover of the novel depicts two small figures, possibly Forerunners or humans, standing on a ledge overlooking a large Forerunner structure. Given the different heights of the two, it is possible that these two figures are either the Didact and Bornstellar or Chakas and Riser.

*The events detailed in the book appear to conflict with the series of events described in the Terminals. Terminals two and three indicate that the Didact has been fighting in the Forerunner-Flood war for some time; however, in Halo:Cryptum, the Didact has been in hibernation for over 1,000 years, and therefore could not have been involved in the war, which started 300 years prior. Also, Terminal three describes the Didact's plans for Mendicant Bias; according to Cryptum, by the time the Didact was awakened, Mendicant Bias had already been sent on his mission 43 years prior, while the Didact was unconscious. This could be explained in the first page of the book when [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]] states that the history of the Forerunners has been plagued by inaccuracies and lies.
*The events detailed in the book appear to conflict with the series of events described in the [[Terminals]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''. Terminals two and three indicate that the Didact had been fighting in the Forerunner-Flood war for some time; however, according to ''Halo: Cryptum'', the Didact had been in hibernation for over one thousand years, and therefore could not have been involved in the war, which had begun 300 years prior. Also, Terminal three describes the Didact's plans for Mendicant Bias; according to the novel, by the time the Didact was awakened, Mendicant Bias had been sent on his mission 43 years prior, while the Didact was unconscious. These seeming inconsistencies could be explained in the first page of the book when Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting states that the history of the Forerunners has been plagued by inaccuracies and lies.
