------Possible Spoilers!!-------
I do not recommend reading this if you havent yet read Halo Primordium!
So after reading Halo Primordium by Greg Bear I have come up with a possible solution as to how Humanity will be able to defeat or atleast match the Didact and his “armies”? At the end of the book Chakas (343 Guilty Spark) takes over a UNSC ship stating that he knows where the Librarian is and how to reach her.
So is it possible that if the Didact survives or hero MC and is able to revive the Forerunner armies that these two events will meet? By that I mean Chakas will find the Librarian and she will be able to calm the obviously angry Didact and possibly stop an all out war that will no doubt destroy humanity?
This is just a theory and an idea that I believe makes sense. Seeing as how 343 are now making Halo games with more story, Chakas must have some sort of connection to Halo 4 or maybe even directly with Halo 5?
What do you think?
Also, love what I have seen so far guys! Keep up the incredable work!
Been playing this since the first game, and I plan on teaching my kids how to play and what it is about!
Truth be told, we don’t know if the Didact is angry on his own accord or by an outside influence, like a Precursor. The Librarian may or may not make a difference.
The parts with Chakas talking to the ONI crew most certainly took place after Halo 4, and I personally believe that, after Halo 4, the Didact will no longer be the primary antagonist.

I don’t know about them being after Halo 4 anymore. Thursday War put the idea of the Didact and his motives out there in 2553. Obviously the ONI science team are looking for answers. Yet is it after? I don’t know.

The line where Chakas mentions Humanity facing the Didact “even now” seems to indicate that contact has been made with the Didact, at least in my mind. And then, in “The Return”, we see evidence of an ONI team having found a monitor. It may not be connected, but I cannot help but wonder if they are. That’s me, anyway.

I don’t see how that would be possible IMO. It would appear the Chief is going to open the Cryptum in Halo 4 and unleash the Didact for the first time. Yet in Thursday War they have no idea where the Chief or Requiem are. From footage we have seen so far it would appear finding the Chief was entirely by accident which means they didn’t expect to find him or the Didact there. Considering Chakas wonders if they inquire because the Didact is currently causing problems, and later says “we face him now” would, to me, imply this is after the Didact has been released by Chief, post Halo 4.
But in seriousnesss, I think it could be a possibility. However, I find it to be the least likely scenario. Missing a friend and being angry about it is one thing, but to go in all-out war over a situation done thousands of years ago is kinda dumb(no offense).

if this is true and the events are after halo 4 we can be lead to believe that we made contact with the didact in H4 and things didn’t go so well IF humanity is facing him after Halo 4.
which really makes me more curious on what really is happening in Silentium. Im gonna be right honest Im more excited to read Silentium than to see halo 4’s story…I never thought that would happen… Maybe just because it is the backstory and I like those kinds of things
arrrrg i wish that we could have Silentium NAO so we could have answers to what exactly is going on here.

Well we know Phillips and BB have knowledge of the Didact and the Bornsteller Relations are found on Onyx. COuld be they are just trying to prepare from what they view to be a likely threat. It is more probable that the Didact is free and causing trouble by Primordium, but I don’t feel safe saying for sure.

If he is roaming around causing trouble it really makes me wonder what happened to him in that flood infested system

Assuming the Blue Prometheans are on automatic defense, and Red Prometheans are being controlled by the Ancient Evil: Spartan Ops takes place 6 months after Halo 4’s Campaign. In Spartan Ops, every footage has shown Red Prometheans, meaning the Ancient Evil is still at large. Some people believe the Ancient Evil is the Didact. If that’s true, then he is clearly still an enemy.But for your Silentium stuff: I’m more excited for Halo 4’s Campaign. However, Silientium is the first book I’ve ever been excited for. There’s going to be so much awesomeness in it! Can’t wait to read it!
But the reason for it coming out in January is because it explains much stuff (Cryptum, Prometheans, Requiem) that would ruin many of Halo 4’s mysteries.
To OP: Librarian may be able to stop the Didact, but if the Didact is either being controlled by the Precursors or infected by the Flood or both, then the Librarian won’t matter.
I agree that the Librarian can definitely “temper his rage” as 343 GS says in the Halo: CEA terminals, but I think his anger is over the fact that he himself believes that the Librarian is dead and that she in fact died on Earth of all places as it leads us to believe in the Halo 3 terminals on the Ark. In my opinion there’s two main reasons why the Didact is so pissed off at Humanity. Number 1 being the fact that his beloved wife died on Earth trying to save & catalog the remaining Humans from the Halo Array, he clearly blames her death on Humanity because it was they who she tried to save & in fact was so dedicated to that she even destroyed her last remaining Key ship. The second reason is that Humanity had defeated the Flood once before and even came up with a cure. Because of their war with the Forerunners, the Humans hated them so much for destroying their civilization and devolving them into lesser species that they would rather die than share the secret to the Flood cure. The Didact & Librarian used the Composer on the remaining Human prisoners who had knowledge of the cure so that they could imprint their geas into the successive human generations in a vain attempt to get the knowledge of the cure but obviously it never worked. Clearly the Didact blames Humanity for the destruction & eradication of the Forerunner Ecumene by the Flood because they purposely withheld the secret to the Flood cure which could have saved not only his civilization but his beloved wife as well. So you have the Didact, a veteran of the Forerunner-Human wars, who already blames Humanity for the predicament his society is in with the Flood, and now his beloved wife is to spend her last remaining days light-years away from him in an attempt to catalog and save the very species he deems responsible for their doom. Now combine that with the fact that he thinks she died on Earth and you have some intense Didactic rage going on here towards Humanity…errr I mean towards Reclaimers. IF the Librarian can be found alive and brought to the Didact I would hope she could explain to him her respect for Humanity and get him to stop but it seems like that is too easy of an explanation to end hostilities. Maybe it would take the Librarian actually being dead or dying from the conflict and someone explaining to the Didact that his wife truly loved Humanity & spent her life & remaining years & was even willing to die for her love & admiration of Humanity & her attempts to save us. Therefore to fight us or destroy us is to -Yoink- all over her legacy. Still…part of me also feels that there is much more to the Librarian than meets the eye. I wonder if she has more maleveolent purposes in mind, particularly towards Humanity. Who knows, I guess we have to wait until Halo 4! Also, you wonder which Didact is in Halo 4…the Bornstellar Didact who we know of had Human friends & companions that we know for a fact he cared for or this new mysterious “Ur-Didact” we have read about in the Silentium description summary? The story just gets more & more juicy. I just hope that the Precursors are brought into the Halo 4, 5 & 6 games at some point. I’m dying to see them.
I have a strong feeling that the Didact on Requeim isn’t Bornstellar. We know from Amazons description of Silentium that the original Didact was abandoned on a flood infested world - It may possible that he was infected by the flood, or was infleunced by the Primordial between Cryptum and Primordium, but right now all I can do is guess.
Based on the info we have regarding what we will learn in the next novel, I believe Silentium will give us a lot of answers. I think Halo 4 will be a lot of just fighting with Didact

I think it was confirmed in an article in some gaming magazine that we meet him. Can’t remember which one though and don’t have the source. Take it with a grain of salt because it might not be legit.
> The parts with Chakas talking to the ONI crew most certainly took place after Halo 4, and I personally believe that, after Halo 4, the Didact will no longer be the primary antagonist.
I got that impression too after rereading the books. ONIs focus on asking Chakas about ancient humans and the Didact makes me think these 2 will be key parts of the Halo 4 story. I know I’ve already said that I personally believe Knights are the Composers doing, but are they Ancient humans or Forerunners composed? That’s the mystery of Halo 4 IMO. Can’t wait to find out.
> Based on the info we have regarding what we will learn in the next novel, I believe Silentium will give us a lot of answers. I think Halo 4 will be a lot of just fighting with Didact
Silentium will explain most of the mysteries in Halo 4 and set up Halo 5. At least, that’s my expectation.
I’m thinking that Chakas will find the Librarian over the course of Spartan Ops. Maybe either early in Halo 5 or maybe even in Spartan Ops the Librarian calms the Didact down, assuming he is not corrupted, and the Forerunners join forces with us after the Librarian explains about the insane evil and that we must stop it.
