The Gravemind is one of the two primary antagonists in ''Halo 3'', the other deferentially being the [[Prophet of Truth]]. His presence can be felt earlier in the game, as he speaks through [[Cortana]] in periodic visions to [[John-117]] (damaged visions of [[Cortana]]). The Gravemind himself turns up later on in the game when first, a [[Covenant]] [[Flood Ship|battle cruiser]] taken over by the [[Flood]] crash-lands on [[Earth]] and promptly begins to infect the city of [[Voi]]. After [[John-117]] and the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] clean up the mess, [[High Charity]] (along with the Gravemind) arrive at the [[Ark]] via a [[Slipspace]] jump. Gravemind allied with [[Master Chief]] and the [[Arbiter]] to stop the [[Prophet of Truth]] from activating the [[Halo array]]. Once they reached the Citadel's control terminal, [[Truth]]'s infection is initiated and Gravemind informs him that his "transition" to godhood is nothing more than a delusion and he is food for the [[Flood]] and nothing more. The [[Arbiter]] warns Gravemind not to infect [[Truth]], as he will have his revenge and allow him to see the "[[Demon]]" crush his plans. However, once the rings were deactivated and [[Truth]] was killed, Gravemind | The Gravemind is one of the two primary antagonists in ''Halo 3'', the other deferentially being the [[Prophet of Truth]].

The [[Arbiter]] warns Gravemind not to infect [[Truth]], as he will have his revenge and allow him to see the "[[Demon]]" crush his plans. However, once the rings were deactivated and [[Truth]] was killed, Gravemind, again, turns against them. [[Master Chief]] and the [[Arbiter]] managed to escape from their foe and discover [[Cortana]]'s solution to the [[Flood]] -- a [[Installation 04 (II)|replacement Halo ring]] made by the [[Ark]]. To activate it, the Chief infiltrates [[High Charity]] to retrieve [[Cortana]], who has the [[Activation Index]] from the first Installation ([[Installation 04]]). | ||
As the Chief traveled deep into [[High Charity]], he faced multiple Flood forms and heard the Gravemind taunt him, showing demonic visions of the UNSC AI being tortured. The Gravemind became increasingly frustrated at the Spartan's progress, becoming suspicious of what Cortana is hiding from him, threatening to "feast upon [the Chief's] bones". After rescuing Cortana, he learned of her possession of the Index from Installation 04 and sent numerous Flood forms to kill them, but the Chief succeeded in destroying the city, presumably killing the Gravemind; however, it's discovered that he is attempting to rebuild himself on the replacement Halo built by the [[Ark]]. Too late, he was unable to stop Chief and Cortana from inserting the Index into the Control Room to fire the premature [[Installation 04 (II)|replacement Halo]]. But before he resigns to his eventual fate, he warns the Chief and the Arbiter that this defeat will only slow, not stop, the Flood's progress. In the end, the Gravemind is destroyed once and for all as Halo's activation destroys the Halo itself, and the Flood. | As the Chief traveled deep into [[High Charity]], he faced multiple Flood forms and heard the Gravemind taunt him, showing demonic visions of the UNSC AI being tortured.
