HALO 3 SKULLS

Blind Skull
In Sierra 117 right after the first fight go to the very right when you are looking out at the waterfall. There will be a ledge. It will be at the edge of the ledge.

Black Eye Skull
Black Eye Skull Effect: When you lose shield, the only way to get it back it to melee an enemy. Black Eye Skull Location: This Skull is located in the beginning of the second level “Crow’s Nest”, the very room you start in. Hanging down from the ceiling is some piping. On top of this piping, on the side nearest to the large display (the one that Hood appears on) lies the “Black Eye Skull”. You can gain access to the pipes a few different ways.

Tough Luck Skull
The “Catch Skull” is found on the third level, 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 some support beams that extend out over a cliff. Jump onto the first of these beams, and travel to the end of it. Look to your left, and the Tough Luck Skull will be sitting on a rock extending from a cliff edge.

Mythic Skull
Mythic Skull Location: This is probably the easiest Golden skull in the game to get. It is located in the very beginning of the final level in Halo 3. Begin by heading into the canyon, but hug the right wall. Very soon, you will notice that there is a turn to the right that is off the normal trail. Head a bit down this path, and the “Mythic Skull” will be sitting there.

Tilt Skull
The “Tilt Skull” is found on the level “Cortana”, in the circular room where Cortana mentions that she “Likes to play games too…”. It’s a bit difficult to get to, as it requires getting on top of the ceiling of the room. 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, and then look up and towards the right for another set of extrusions. Jump to these. From here, you should be able to jump on top of the ceiling of the room, where the Tilt Skull lies in the center.

Thunderstorm Skull
Thunderstorm Skull Location: The “Thunderstorm Skull” can be found on the level, “The Covenant”, after you take command of one of the Hornet vehicles. Fly towards the second force field generator (the one the Arbiter disabled), and land. The skull is waiting at the very top, at the end of the ramp extending over the sea.

Iron Skull Location
The “Iron Skull” is 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. You can gain access to the roof on the far right side of the building. all the way over to the left side of the roof, and the Skull will be concealed in the corner.

IWHBYD Skull
Mission: The Covenant

Effect: "But the dog beat me over the fence" - Unlocks bonus dialogue throughout
the game. For most, this is the last skull, so this gives you the Hayabusa Helmet
as well.

To get this, get to the room where you "fight" the Prophet of Truth. Let the
Arbiter kill him, turn around, and kill all the Flood here as well; makes it a LOT
easier. With all obstacles out of the way, you need to jump through the Halo
holograms here in a specific order, listed below:

4 6 5 4 5 3 4

When you jump through the final hologram, they all light up in a sequential
pattern. The Skull will be at the end waiting for you right before the energy
bridge leading to Truth's corpse.

Famine Skull
Mission: The Ark

Effect: "Trust us. Bring a magazine." -- Dropped weapons will have very little
ammo compared to normal.

When you first go into the valley to the right after the wrecked phantom, look to
your left where you will see a huge boulder. Use a ghost and get to the side of
the boulder that is closest to the bridge overhead. It is easy to pilot the ghost
up the side of the wall using the thrust. To get the skull, pilot 2 ghosts up the
wall to the top of the bridge and stack them one on top of another next to the
beam where the skull is placed. Simply jump from the top of the ghosts towards the
skull and land on the beam.

Fog Skull
Mission: Floodgate

Effect: "You'll miss those eyes in the back of your head." -- Your motion sensor
disappears.

As you are walking down from the anti-air gun you destroyed in the previous
mission, you encounter a ramp (next to a missile launcher). Around this ramp, you
hit a checkpoint. At this point, you should also 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 with the
two other flood forms jumping in front of you) which is holding the skull. Kill
him before he jumps, and he will drop the skull down to the ground where you can
retrieve it. Too early, and the skull will get stuck on the roof though, so just
time it carefully.

Cowbell Skull
Effect: Explosive force increased (sputnik from H2)

Level: The Ark

Location: First pick up a grav lift from the small building near where you fight
the scarab. Now proceed through the level until you reach the second sloping
hallway (stairway), you should see some partitioned risers (platforms) halfway
down. The skull is on the top level. Toss the grav-lift on the right side of the
hall so it lands on the fourth little green dot from the door. Then run, jump, and
use the grav-lift to propel you to the top. You should reach a ckeckpoint just as
you enter the room so it you miss just try again.

Grunt Birthday Party Skull
Effect: Headshots on grunts cause heads to explode with confetti.

Where to find: Crow's Nest

How to find: Right after the first objective, while en route to the barracks, you
will fall down onto a pipe. At the end of this pipe, look over the edge to see a
small space a few feet below you. You must simply drop over and as quicly as you
can, pull back to land under the floor you were just on. After that, the skull
will be at the end.
