Gravemind (Form): Difference between revisions

Line 54:

The Gravemind, is one of the two primary antagonists in ''[[Halo 3]]'', the other deferentially being the [[Prophet of Truth]]. His presence can be felt earlier in the game, as he speaks through Cortana in periodic visions to John-117

(damaged visions of Cortana).

The Gravemind, himself turns up later on in the game when first, a [[Covenant]] [[Flood Ship|battle cruiser]] taken over by the Flood crash-lands on [[Earth]] and promptly begins to infect the city of [[Voi]]. After the Master Chief and [[Arbiter (character)|the Arbiter]] clean up the mess, High Charity (along with the Gravemind) arrives at the [[Ark]] via Slipspace jump. The [[Master Chief]] takes a detour through High Charity to retrieve Cortana, destroying the city in the process, and the Gravemind is seemingly killed; however, it's discovered that he is attempting to rebuild himself on the replacement Halo built by the Ark. He is presumably destroyed once and for all when the Chief activates the [[Installation 04 (II)|replacement Halo]], destroying the Halo, and the Flood.

It should be noted that the Gravemind never appears in-game in his physical form, as he did in ''Halo 2''. The most that is ever seen of Gravemind are a number of tentacles in the control room of the Ark (aka, the Citadel). Despite it having a good amount of dialogue spoken directly to the Master Chief (and by extension, the gamer, through [[moments]]), Gravemind's head is never seen. It is possible that Gravemind had changed a great deal, since the first time he met the Arbiter and the Chief, since the tentacles seen are different from those he used in ''Halo 2'', being a lot thicker in appearance. In the level Cortana, it was shown that he tried to stop the Arbiter and the Chief from escaping with Cortana in their possession, but failed when one of his tentacles were scorched by the escaping [[Pelican's]] engines. The game's instruction manual however, shows it to be the same form as it was seen in ''Halo 2''. However, he reaches up a second time, as the Pelican's wing is trapped in flood biomass. This time, it seems as if he actually frees the ship on purpose, when he could have extended several and captured the ship and it's inhabitants.
