Halo 3

In Halo 3 Campaign and in certain Halo 3 Multi-Player maps there are hidden skulls to be found. Some unlock new armor, some unlock achievements. You can also play campaign with the campaign skulls turned on, each has a different effect on your gameplay.


To find the skulls in campaign, you must play on 'Normal' difficulty or higher.

• Iron Skull: Located at the very end of the first level, 'Sierra 117'. It is located behind the building where Sgt. Johnson is being held captive, up on the roof. Travel all the way to the left side of the roof, and the skull will be concealed in the corner.
• Black Eye Skull: Located in the beginning of the second level 'Crow's Nest'. In the room you start in, hanging down from the ceiling is some piping, on the side nearest to the large display is where the skull is located.
• Tough Luck Skull: Located in the third level. It is located at the point in the level when the huge covenant cruiser flies overhead. On your left is some large piping following the road you are walking on. Underneath this piping are support beams that extend over a cliff. Jump onto the first beam and walk to the end of it. Look to your left and the skull will be sitting on a rock extending from the cliffs edge.
• Catch Skull: Located in the fourth level, in the first area where you need to destroy the Wraiths, when you enter this area, do not destroy the tanks (the skull will disappear if the tank is destroyed). The skull is located on the top of the circular building next to the anti-air tank.
• Fog Skull: Located in the level 'Floodgate', at the very beginning of the level. You have a very small window of opportunity to do this, right after you hear a marine yelling, "There! Over There!" Look up and to the right, directly at the roof of the building next to the missle launcher, there is a single flood form (not to be mistaken by the other two flood forms that jump in front of you) which is holding the skull. Kill him before he jumps and he will drop the skull for you to pick up. Make sure not to kill him to early or it will get stuck on the roof.
• Famine Skull: Located in the sixth level, near the point where the path you follow branches off into two sections. Take the right path and you'll notice a structure above you and to the left of you (near the area where you encounter a few ghosts). You'll need to scale the rocks to the right of the structure, travel across it so that you pass 3 of the large support beams. Inside the fourth support beam is the famine skull, you will need to grenade jump to reach it.
• Thunderstorm Skull: Located on the level 'The Covenant'. After you take commans of one of the hornets, fly towards the second force field generator and land. The skull is waiting at the very top at the end of the ramp extending over the sea.
• Tilt Skull: Located on the level "Cortana", in the circular room where Cortana mentions that she "Likes to play games too..." Upon entering the room, head towards the left side where you will see some mushroom shaped extrusions along the wall. Get on top of these, look up and towards the right for another set of extrusions. Jump to them. From here, you will be able to jump on top of the ceiling where the skull lies in the center.
• Mythic Skull: Located in the final level at the very beginning of the level. Head into the canyon but stay to the right wall. You will see a turn to the right that is off the normal path, follow it and the skull will be waiting.
• Blind Skull (Silver): Located in the first level 'Sierra 117', after your first encounter with the Gold Armor Brute, two enemy dropships will appear further down the stream. Go towards the dropship that is furthest away and stay on the right side of the stream. Continue along towards the cliff edge and a rock will jut out over a large lake. The skull is located on the rock.
• Grunt Birthday Party Skull (Silver): Located in the second level 'Crow's Nest', just before the area where you team up with the Arbiter. Just before you jump down the pipe to meet up with the Arbiter, stop at the ledge and look directly below you. Along the wall where you drop down, there is a small ledge with a green arrow pointing backwards. Jump onto this ledge and go inside the secret room to get the skull.
• Cowbell Skull (Silver): Found on the level "The Ark" and is fairly far into the level. You will need a gravlift or a well place grenade jump. After you battle the scarab, there is a building in the middle of the desert area, a gravity lift can be found inside. Head up the huge ramp into the building, pass through a few of the rooms and you'll eventually come to a room with a lot of explosive crates. Right after this room is a staircase/hallway that leads to the level below. The skull is located at the top of the room on the ledge above the slope of the staircase on the uppermost platform of the four above you. Use the gravlift here.
• IWHBYD Skull (Silver): Located on the level "The Covenant". At the long hallway with the 7 ring holograms, you must jump through the rings in specific order (the order is as follows, 1 is the entrance, 7 is the end). Only the last 7 notes of the sequence are needed, 4,6,5,4,5,3,4). After completing the sequence, go back to the bridge that brings you to the Prophet of Truth, the skull will now be there.

The following skulls are located in the DLC Mythic Map Pack for multiplayer, you will need to be in Forge to collect the skulls which are worth acheivement points.

• Assembly Skull: In monitor mode, fly up to one of the two large arms extending over the center piece in the map and drop down into it to find the skull.
• Sandbox Skull: Located outside of the safety permiter, you can't just walk to it, the guardians will kill you. Download a map someone has created to get to the skull and it is quite easy, many of these maps are floating around.
• Orbital Skull: Where the big pit is in the middle of the map, where rockets spawn, fly towards the top of this area, on one of the ledges is where the skull will be.
