Halo Infinite’s Legendary post-credit scene clears up a huge misconception that many players got after seeing it on other difficulties. Usually, the scene plays without voices, and it seems like somehow Atriox is still alive. However, beating the Halo Infinite on Legendary gives players a chance to see the whole thing. However, a lot of people still don’t get what’s going on, so here’s an explanation of the post-credit scene.
What happens in the Halo Infinite post-credit scene on Legendary difficulty?
When players get the post-credit scene after playing Halo Infinite on Legendary, they get a vital piece of info that puts the whole thing in context. The scene takes place in 97,368 BCE, around 100,000 years before the events of Halo Infinite. In it, we hear about the moment in which the Endless were locked away in a discussion between an individual called the Grand Edict and Zeta Halos monitor, Despondent Pyre.
What’s happening during the scene itself is less clear. It appears that Atriox is setting the Endless free from their Cylixes at some point after the campaign. However, the lack of context means there’s no way to be sure what’s happening here.
The important part, though comes at the very end when the Grand Edict says that Offensive Bias has been deployed to Zeta Halo. This AI is immensely powerful and may have been activated by the freeing of the Endless. If that’s the case, Master Chief may be partnering with it to continue the fight in future missions.
Is Atriox alive?
The post-credits scene seems to indicate that Atriox survived Cortana’s attack. It appears as though he’s freeing the Endless, and doesn’t look any worse for the wear. It’s likely that he’ll be the antagonist when new missions are released sometime in the future.
