Didn't the Didact fall into a composer and of so is it possible we will fight him but as a soldier or knight?

  • No, he fell into the slipspace portal [i]under[/i] the Composer, it sent him back to Installation 03 where he was confronted by John and Blue Team in the 72 hours following Halo 4's campaign. You can read the full story arc here: - [url=http://viewcomic.com/halo-escalation-008-2014/]Part 1.[/url] - [url=http://viewcomic.com/halo-escalation-009-2014/]Part 2.[/url] - [url=http://viewcomic.com/halo-escalation-010-2014/]Part 3.[/url] He does end up being Composed into a digital essence, so he is removed as a threat [i]for now[/i]. But [url=http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w362/Chronarch7/guardians20_zps3f0ivtkp.png]an interesting size comparison graphic for Halo 5[/url] depicts what is quite clearly the Ur-Didact, but with disconnected joints and cobbled together parts. With the Domain now confirmed to still be active, we actually have the distinct possibility of healing the Ur-Didact's mind and turning him to humanity's side. So it's going to be interesting to see what happens.

  • I thought I heard someone say that that was the Warden Eternal in that size comparison.

    It doesn't look like the Warden Eternal at all though. The Warden's head is [i]much[/i] larger and has a rounded 'crown' which is totally absent in the graphic, the shoulders don't match, there's no sign of the 'tusks' on the lower part of the face, and the Warden's legs are [i]much[/i] thinner. It has [i]far[/i] more in common with [url=http://www.halopedia.org/images/f/ff/H4_Didact_3d_model.jpg]the Ur-Didact[/url].

    He was talking about this poster, not the graphic. This is what features the Warden Eternal, the graphic clearly does not.

    I admit I did not realize he was directly talking about the poster. It looks like the warden though. The shoulder spikes match verbatim, and the head is rounded in the same shape. It's body is also as big as the warden eternal, who already has gaps in his joints. The gaps in the ankles are also apparent in both. You wouldn't be able to see tusks in a silhouette. Any idea of how a "composed" didact would look is pure speculation. The [url=http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/8960/2458342-2292754508-H4_Di.jpg]didact we know[/url] is very different, with a much thicker torso, spikes on the outside of his forearms, and a shoulder/ crest piece that encompasses his head. The fact that they released the graphic so close to their reveal of the warden makes sense.
