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.

Im Buch wird nicht einwandfrei geklärt (und daher appear to conflict) woher er seine Erfahrungen mit der Flood hat. Es bleibt offen, ob er bereits vor 1.000 Jahren mit der Flood zu tun hatte, da er ja auch die Codes für Bias kennt. Somit müssen einige Ereignisse bereits vor seinem Exil ihren Beginn gehabt haben.
