Halo Skulls
In order to obtain any of the hidden skulls, you must begin the level at the beginning on the Normal, Heroic, or Legendary difficulty modes. But, in most cases, you will not have to finish the full level after finding the skull, so you can save and quit the mission at that point, if you so choose.
The skulls resemble those that are in the multiplayer game, "Oddball," and can be used as weapons in a similar way. The difference is that the skulls in Halo 3 do not have an information text box when you pick them up. The 13 skulls are hidden and placed out of the way of the normal paths, which means that you must search for them throughout your missions. Otherwise, you must know where the skulls are. The skulls are like Easter eggs on Easter; you must check every nook and crany.
Each skull has a different effect on both you and your enemies. So, you must learn how to use each skull wisely.
You do not need to carry the skull after picking it up if you choose not to, so you can press the 'X' button at the level selection screen to choose whether you want that skull or a different one. By pressing the 'X' button, you will be able to change out the various skulls in order to use them.
This will give you a bonus multiplier for co-op and go towards earning the Guerrilla, Demon, etc. achievements. Do noted that not all of the skulls will earn you an achievement; only nine of the thirteen do.
Gold Skulls will grant you achievements when you first get them, but Silver Skulls will not. You can differentiate them on the selection screen by the color of their background, but in the game, they are identical.
In the Campaign Scoring mode, activating certain gold skulls will grant you a multiplier to the points you receive, depending on the particular skull(s) that you are using.
In Co-op mode, as soon as one player picks the skull up, all players will receive the achievement.
Halo 3 Skulls Guide
Black Eye Skull: (Gold Skull) At the start of the "Crow's Nest" mission, you want to head strait up to the upper level. Go towards the door with the red light, then turn around. You will want to jump onto the racks, on the red metal light holders. Then jump onto the ventilation tube. The skull will appear at the end.
Blind Skull: (Silver Skull) In the First Stage, when you get to the area where you see the Phantom overhead, jump over the rocks and keep following the path on the right. Once you get to the cliff, there will be a rock over of the side. The skull is on the end of the rock. Note: The Blind skull has to be activated before you start a Campaign map with it, otherwise it will do no good.
Catch Skull: (Gold Skull) In the Storm Mission, you will want to go through the mission from the very start until you go outside again. Once you are outside, look straight across where there is a small, round building, to which the skull is on top. You can either use a warthog as a platform or a grenade-jump in order to get near the skull. Make sure NOT to destroy the wraith near the door or the skull will disappear.
Cowbell Skull: (Silver Skull) In the Ark, you will want to first pick up a grav lift from the small building near where you fought the scarab. Proceed through the level until you reach the second sloping hallway. There you should see some platforms halfway down. The skull is on the top level. You can toss the grav- lift on the right side of the hall so it lands on the fourth little green dot from the door. Then you want to run, jump, and use the grav-lift to propel you to the top. You will reach a check point just as you enter the room so if you miss it just try again.
Catch Skull
Famine Skull: (Gold Skull) When you first go into the valley, in the Ark mission, to the right after the wrecked phantom, you want to look to your left where a huge boulder will be. Use a ghost and to the side of the boulder that is closest to the bridge above you. It is easiest 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. Then jump from the top of the ghosts towards the skull and land on the beam.
Fog Skull: (Gold Skull) In the Floodgate mission, as you are walking down from the anti-air gun you destroyed in the previous mission, you encounter a ramp. Around this ramp, you will hit a checkpoint. At this point, you will hear a marine yelling, "There! Over There!". Look up and to the right, directly at the roof of the building. There is a single flood form (don't mistake it with the two other flood forms jumping in front of you) which is holding the skull. Kill the man before he jumps, and he will drop the skull down to the ground where you can grab it. If you kill him too early, the skull will get stuck on the roof. You will need to time things perfectly.
Grunt Birthday Party skull: (Silver Skull) In the Crow's Nest, right after the first objective, while en route to the barracks, you will fall down onto a pipe. At the end of the pipe, look over the edge to see a small space a few feet below you. You will need to drop over it, and as quickly as you can, pull back to land under the floor you were previously on. The skull will be at the end.
Grunt Birthday Party Skull
Iron Skull: (Gold Skull) In the "Sierra 117" mission, where you rescue Sarge, behind the prison cell there is a large ledge. Go to the far right side and jump on the boxes. Then you will want to jump onto the pipes in order to get up on the ledge. From there go to the far end of the ledge, turn two corners, and the skull is at the far end. If you cannot see it you are probably standing on it.
IWHBYD Skull: (Silver Skull) In the Covenant level, you will need to get to the room where you "fight" the Prophet of Truth; let the Arbiter kill him. You need to turn around so that you can kill all the Flood that is in the area as well, as it will make it a lot easier to get the skull. With all obstacles out of the way, you will need to jump through the Halo holograms in a specific order: 4 5 6 5 7 6 5 4 1 2 3 2 7 2 1 3 4 6 7 5 4 6 5 4 5 3 4. When you jump through the last hologram, they all light up in a sequential pattern. The Skull will be at the end right before the energy bridge leading to Truth's corpse.
Mythic Skull: (Gold Skull) Go the normal path through the "Halo" mission until you reach a cave. Get close to the right wall and continue walking until it branches off into a small path. At the end of this path there is some rubble. In the front, the skull will be there..
Iron Skull
Thunderstorm Skull: (Gold Skull) In the Covenant, after you shut down tower one and get access to the hornet, you will want to fly to tower two (the one that the Arbiter shut down). While you are walking up the stairs, go to the middle part that connects both. You should find a stair leading up to a platform where you will find the skull.
Tilt Skull: (Gold Skull) In the Cortana mission, when you are in a circular type room with all the flood look for a small structure piece next to two archways, you will want to jump on top if it and up on the rocks to the top left. Then you will want to turn left and jump up again. Turn around in the same spot and jump to the rocks across from where you are standing. After that, you want to follow the the rock sticking out and leading up on top of the original circular room. You will find the skull on a pile of blood.
Tough Luck Skull: (Gold Skull) On the Tsavo Highway, about halfway through the mission, you will come out of a tunnel onto the highway. There you will see a large pipeline to your left. You will want to drop down in between the two and run to the wall in front of you. Then, you will want to follow the wall all the way to where it connects with the cliff on your right. There you will need to turn to the left. There should be a few ledges, you will want to crouch jump from ledge to ledge. On the last ledge, you should find the skull.

need help on the ark skull plz can sum1 help
Hey I was wonderign could you make a guide for the
Halo 3:ODST multiplayer disc to find the skulls in those areas My friends keep asking me for the locations because I usually find them pretty quick but I'm stumped I know that you have to do it on forge and look for them as a monitor but I've searched for them and never found a 1 can you help?

you didnt show anything about the SECOND blind skull which is located in the generator room on cortana
Cool People, are you trying to get the skull starting at a rally point or on easy mode? You must get skulls on normal, heroic, or legendary mode, and you must start from the beginning.
When i go to get the catch skull (I am getting skulls on normal mode and starting from beginning), it is not there. The two wraiths are not destroyed yet, but i still just see plain nothing. And yes i have gotten to the EXACT skull spot.
Also, the Iron skull is actually very important for getting Recon armor, as you can now get two Vidmaster achievements. (Must have Bungie.net account)
I haven't yet seen the shortest combo for the iwbyd skull. The one I used is 4354534. I heard you can't touch the rings or it won't work, but I'm not sure about that... and Cool people, I recommend slowly backing off the platform and falling forward.
for IWHBYD Skull you only have to use 4654534......and it has to be after truth dies
Yeah i agree, the info is good, but the wording stinks. i can't get the birthday one . i fall down and i can't pull back to get onto the other level, so i use a grav lift when on the gaint fan to get up and the skull isn't there.
this website helped me i now only need 3 more skulls: tilt , iwhbyd and cow bell but the text for thease confuse me hence why i have not done them can any else help me?
My gamertag is CRANKER937
I love halo and it is hell to find skull's
i hope u all die in a house fire. and then the perimetics revibe u guyes than you have to live in a coma for the rest of your lives. than a janitor un plugs your machine than helps u breath so u sufficate to death. than u have a artifishal heart than u only got 5 mins to live and your wife and kids are a 6 mins away and all the phones are down.
i got the catch skull it was easy just dont kill the wraith closest to the door and dont kill the operator either it wont work
pile warthog and ghost next to the round building you nerds and get the crappy skull already!
Wow thanks for info on hub found what i was looking for real quick good job!!
nice hub but theres a skull i call the unknown skull you dont have it on cortana you go to a circular room and gren ade jump on to the part arond it look around the whole circl and you will evan tually find it (start from the beginning)
Yes this is a good hub thank you for the results somthing to consider though you must start from the beginning of the level to get the skull no skipping to checkpoints =P.
oh an Last Sahadowz you do need the IWHBYD because I got all skulls
The second skull on Cortana is just another blind skull. Add me if you need further help GT is the same thing as my username.
I had trouble getting the catch skull 2 but then I had one of my friends to help me and it worked. So alls im saying is dont destroy any vehicles, play from start, play on normal or heroic and legendary, and have some1 else go with you. Hope this helped ADD ME
Im down to one skull for 13/13.... its the second one on cortana... i got it, but it didnt show up in my skull list and i didnt get the helmet.... does that mean i have to to get the IWHBYD skull? plz help...
good site but theres a even shorter codefor the IWHBYD skull its 4654534 ive gotten it like 8 times with this code to get the catch skull start from the beginning do the same with the cowbell

Iam trying to get the iwhbyd skull on legendary heoric and normal
You have to grenade jump or stand on another players shoulders in co-op. Also, you cannot destroy either wraith to get the catch skull.
Umm... Is there any upside to the skulls because all I'm reading are disadvantages
When I jump on the warthog I can't get high enough to get on the building.

The Catch Skull pops up randomly in random places but usually in the silo thingy or what ever it is in the middle

fo those of you who have the red ring of Death Problem make sure that you either get an air cooler or aquire one. I know that ever since I bought 2 of the damn things for my 360 and it has not yet had that problem. I have had my 360 for 2+ yrs still running strong. there are 2 types of air coolers on the market. One of the is a USB HUD connection that doubles as a 360 base and controller holder and the second is one that pugs in tho the back of the 360 and you can find these pretty much any where you can get a 360 and the 2 that I am talking about can be used at the same time.
WHE HAS ALL OF THE SKULLS
were is the cowbell skull
tip:all you got to do is wait for the catch skull to pop up and never kill a single enemie
tip:all you got to do is wait for the catch skull to pop up and never kill a single enemie
why isant the catch skull thair when i try to get it
actually there are three different possible cominations to get the skull the short one which you just said, is the possible way, theres another one that will most likely do it, and the one up above which will definitely do it.
the game was easy a liltle
the game halo3 is awsome but the 360 sucks it always gets the ring of death, it happned to me 4 TIMES!!!!!!
This is not the real code for the combination actually there are a lot less numbers its actually 4654534 and thats the REAL COMBINATION THIS GUY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!! >:(
why is there so many combinations for the iwhbd skull?!!
I got armor now. :)
i got all 13 skulls to wen i first got it an also beat the game in 1 day
you have the wrong picture for cowbell you have the famine picture and you dont have famine there and the i would have been your daddy skull is way faster if you use this code and yes it works iv gotten it 3 times with this code (7 5 4 6 5 4 5 3 4)
i got all the skulls, terminals, and info on unlocking armor here www.bouncefx.com
im not trying to be a dick im just trying to help
I need help getting the catch skull even though i got up onto the water pipe without destroying either wraiths, i just killed the operators, and it wasn't there.
To get the catch skull u have to do the hole campain on normal then go back and get it dont forget to not destroy the wraith
NICE HUG
THNXS FOR THE INFO NOW I CAN FINALY GET THE FUCKNIG SKULLS
both,2 and 1
dylan
the first one when you encounteras you go through the door
i think i know whats the problen that the catch skull is not there because i had the same problem,so im sorry , wait ihave a idea if you make a new profilel then you canstart over and see if it will let you get the catch skull, thats what i did.
GREAT HUD!!!, i used other sites for my first 7 skulls, then i looked halo 3 skulls up on yahoo, and fell in love with this site, congrats, and thanks a bundle =)
A shorter code is 1346754654534 thats the code I used.
good but theres a much shorter code for the iwhbyd skull.
Im having the exact same problem as halo mega about 8 comment up from here
u are so bad i wish i had halo 3
i have a question r u suppossed 2 do the iwhbyd skull with 2 or 1 people
Ok I need help, I found the COWBELL skull but for some reason it doesn't show in my skull list. I know it doesn't give me any achievement points but it would at least show in my list. Why doesn't it? I'm down to two skulls and this one is a pain.
Just thought I'd mention the fact that the Gunt Birthday Party video is the GBP Skull from Halo 2... not Halo 3... But yeah, pretty good other than that.
This hub is helpful, If You are looking for the skulls, then I would suggest that You also search for a video walkthrough on Youtube and use it along with this hub.
cool article ws thevery best
thanx this helped
you messed up, the cowbell skull you put in is the famine skull and wen i tried to get the catch skull, it doesnt show up, i was on Normal difficulty, i didnt destroy purple wraith, and i still dont find it!
nice
Halo Guy YOu arnet getting the skull beacuse you must play on Normal Heroic or Legendary AND you have to start the level at the very begining not at the rally points. If this doesnt work your either blind or um.. the blind skull is activated... na kiding or your just looking in the wrong place :S
This is a pretty good sight if you want accurate info on how to get all the skull... but the thing is (even though i have the IWHBYD skull) every web-sight tells you different patterns on how to get the IWHBYD skull. I't drove my friend nutts :(. He went to 1 website :printed the order of the rings 456 ect. what ever and every one he got was wrong. But now he is happy because he has found this sight. Enough said.
sweeeet!
The first hologram encountered is #1, the one nearest to the dead prophet is the last.
Ya, Haloguy, probably this is because you arer either:
A: Starting from a Rally Point (you have to start at the beggining of the level)
---OR---
B: Playing on Easy. This no work.
-Space
Referring to the IWHBYD Skull: which hologram is number 1? the first one you encounter as you walk through the door, or the one closest to the dead Prophet?
hey do u have xbox live name and thanxs showing m where all the skulls and to the catch skull i know where it is but its not there p.s this is my xbox live name skaterboy94
ok on thunderstorm skull i went to exact location but it didnt spawn. same for the one on sierra 117 after u rescue searge. why arent they spawning? I know i'm going to the right places.
Thanks for the information I especially had trouble with the IWHBYD skull. And didn't know you can't destroy the Wraith at the Catch skull.
Good article and thanks again
Now I just have to wait for my 360 to work again :(
nice
Thanks for the article ;)
Shall show it to my teen son, he'll know and enjoy this hub. Thank you on his behalf!
