'''Djamonkin Crater''', known to locals as '''Djamonkin Augh''', (meaning "'''Big Man's Water'''"), was the [[human]] name for a location on [[Earth]] during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 11''</ref> The crater was flooded, with a small island in the center. In the center of the island was a small mountain.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 30''</ref> The waters surrounding the island were populated by [[merse]], which were likely transplanted there from their homeworld by [[the Librarian]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 83''</ref> The island itself was uninhabited, but in the center was located a [[Forerunner]] [[Cryptum]] belonging to [[the Didact]].<ref name="c60">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 60''</ref> The Cryptum had been moved there by the Librarian as part of her elaborate plan to reunite with her husband. The Librarian also hid a [[design seed]] for [[Didact's ship|a ship]] in the crater's central peak; this ship was later used by the Didact to escape. The artifact site was surrounded by a [[baffler]] and a wide variety of traps, probably to discourage curious humans.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 43''</ref>

[[Riser]]'s family's ''[[geas]]'', imposed by the Librarian as part of her plan, made them spend many generations trying to penetrate the traps and reach the area inside.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 48-49''</ref> Several years before the [[Halo Array|Halos]] were [[Great Purification|fired]], the crater was visited by [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]], along with [[Chakas]] and Riser. With their help, he breached the baffler and found the Didact's Cryptum within.<ref name="c60"/>
