*The events detailed in ''[[Halo: Cryptum]]'' appear to conflict with the series of events described in the Terminals in Halo 3. Terminals two and three indicate that the Didact had been fighting in the Forerunner-Flood war for some time; however, according to Halo: Cryptum, the Didact had supposedly been in hibernation for over one thousand years (though this is never confirmed), and therefore could not have been involved in the war, which had begun 300 years prior. Also, Terminal three describes the Didact's plans for Mendicant Bias; according to the novel, by the time the Didact was awakened, Mendicant Bias had been sent on his mission 43 years prior, while the Didact was unconscious. | *The events detailed in ''[[Halo: Cryptum]]'' appear to conflict with the series of events described in the Terminals in Halo 3.
