A '''Cryptum''' was a stasis chamber used as a means of exile by the [[Forerunner]]s. Cryptums were most prominently known for their use by the [[Promethean]]s, the Forerunners' highest class of [[Warrior-Servant]]s, who also termed them as '''Warrior Keeps'''.<ref name="evg">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 131''</ref>

~~This~~ Cryptum resembled the Didact's Cryptum, ~~and was under the control of~~ [[Cortana]]~~, who~~ used it to imprison [[Blue Team]]~~. It was capable of holding its occupants~~ in ~~stasis, where they can be preserved for at least~~ 10,000 years. ~~Since Cortana intended~~ to ~~wake them up later~~, ~~it is presumed that~~ the Cryptum ~~is capable~~ of ~~keeping its~~ occupants ~~alive far beyond~~ their ~~natural lifespan~~ with ~~no detrimental effects~~.

Located on the [[Builder]] world of [[Genesis]], this Cryptum resembled the Didact's combat Cryptum. In [[2558]], [[Cortana]] used this Cryptum to imprison [[Blue Team]], intending to wake them up in 10,000 years in order to show them the utopia she had created. Similar to the Didact's Cryptum on Requiem, the Cryptum on Genesis did not require the mummification of the occupants necessitated by the Didact's older Cryptum, as Blue Team were placed into, and emerged from, the Cryptum fully conscious and clad in their [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mjolnir armor]]. Before Cortana could escape with the Cryptum, Blue Team was rescued by [[Fireteam Osiris]] and Genesis' [[monitor]], [[031 Exuberant Witness]], who used a swarm of [[Constructor]]s to wrest the Cryptum from Cortana's control. Several of the Constructors then interfaced with the Cryptum, opening it and freeing Blue Team.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level ''[[Guardians (level)|Guardians]]''</ref>
