Halo 5: Guardians - Swords of Sanghelios Dialogue

This video compiles lines of dialogue from the missions Alliance and Before The Storm in Halo 5: Guardians. In it, you’ll hear mention of things from Halo’s extended universe like Sali ‘Nyon, gain some insight on Sangheili culture, as well as hear some funny lines said by the messenger grunts.
This video is a sort of 'definitive' edition of one of the very first videos I ever made. In this update, I included many of the lines that I had missed out on in the original video, namely some lines from the medics. Hopefully you guys enjoy this video as I had to go back and rerecord all of the footage to make this video.

The talk between the Elite medic and his patient is pretty profound tbh.

[@Delta-mo6hn]

Yes. They captured the culture and beliefs of the sangheili perfectly here. In the covenant they would definitely have done whatever the wounded warriors were spouting and the medics would have nothing to say

[@buterassassin1952]

It’s kinda cute

[@Levy_Wilson]

The part about who to heal first was interesting as well. The humane way to heal would be to treat the most life threatening wounds first, but the Sanghelion way to heal is to heal the higher ranks first, in order to get them back on the battle field and stop more of their brothers from dying.

@@Levy_Wilson Even in war all lives should be saved if possible. But in the grand scheme of things you could save more lives if the ones who are best suited to ending the battles quicker are patched up and sent back into the fray.
