Halo 3 was the first game in the franchise to really go all-in on the collectibles, featuring skulls in both the campaign and multiplayer, as well as terminals spread throughout the campaign. Halo 2 featured skulls, but didn't add it's terminals or dolls ღuntil the anniversary release, and Halo: CE didn't have collectibles of any sort until 2011.
Halo 3 has 19 skulls total, with 13 in the campaign and six in multiplayer maps. The campaign skulls are traditional skulls that can be "activated" and affect gameplay, both for better and worse. The multiplayer skulls do not have any affect other than to give you that sweet, sweet gamerscore, but they will be detailed here as well. There was also a limited time 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:"Acrophobia" skull that could be unlocked by killing 343 flying enemies in the campaign, thoug🐎h that deadline has since expired.
Campaign Skulls
There are a total of 13 skulls scattered throughout the campaign. In order to collect them, you must start each level from the beginning on at least Normal difficulty. Skulls will not spawn if you play on Easy or if you start the mission from a later rally point. One skull in this game will require the game to have been co🌸mpleted previously on at least Normal difficulty, so it's best to save these collectibles until your second playthrough.
Sierra 117
Blind & Iron
The first skull of the game, "Blind" can be found after the first fight in Sierra 117, at the far end of♈ the area. After you've cleared out the area pictured below, walk to the far right corner of the area near the water, and "Blind" can be round ꦺsitting on a rock.
The skull disables your𝐆 HUD, so you can't see your reticle, gun, ammo, health or radar.
The second skull of the level, "Iroꦫn" is at the very end of the level, when you have to rescue Sergea♔nt Johnson and the marines from captivity. When you cross the dam, stay on the right ledge and you will come to a crate pictured below, which you can use to jump up onto the upper ledge.
Follow this ledge all the way around and you will find the skull tucked away in🐷 a corner.
This skull makes it so the level restarts♔ upon deaths in solo play, but resets the checkpoint upon one player's death in cooperative play.
Crow's Nest
Black Eye & Grunt Birthday Party
The "Black Eye" skull can be found at the very begiജnning of Crow's Nest, in the spawning room. Head to the far end of the room and turn around. You should see some shelves behind you that you can jump up. Do so, then hop onto the curved part of🦹 the red girder above you.
Hop up onto the 💙pipe to your right and walk to the end of it to find the skull waiting for y🌠ou.
This skull makes it so you can only regenerate shields by mele𒈔eing enemie🐎s.
Fur♕ther into the level, after taking out the Chieftain and his brute pals, you will drop down into a vent area with drones flying back and forth.
Walk to the very end of this vent but do not drop down. Instead, inch yourself ever so slowly over the edge. You should see a green arrow beneath you, which you want to land on. Tease over the side then immediately hold back to drop into theꦬ lower part of the vent, where the skull can be found behind you.
This skull ma✨kes it so grunts explode into confetti and cheering when they are killedღ with headshots.
Tsavo Highway
Tough Luck
Plow throug🧸h the level until you reach the first bridge section. Get out of your warthog once you reach the yellow ladder, pictured be🥀low.
Hop over the side of the bridge, down onto the ground beneath you, then head ꦓto t🔴he large pillar in front of you.
From the close side of the pillar, carefully jump around to the𓆏 opposite side, where you should be able to see the skull on a rock, hanging over the cliffside. Run and jump to reach it.
This skull makes 🅰enemies evade your attacks more frequently, while brutes will berserk more commonly and grunts will kamikaze more commonly as well.
The Storm
Catch
The "Catch" skull tends to generate a lot of confusion surrounding it, so to clear things up, you must have beaten the game on Normal difficulty or higher for it to spawn. It can be found on The Storm, often requiring the player to wait a few seconds for it to appear. If it doe🦋sn't appear after 30 seconds, restart the level and try again.
Play through the first indoor section of 📖the mission. When you return outside, make sure you have either a warthog or a ghost. You should appear in place like what is pictured below.
You will see a wr🐼aith, but be careful not to damage it. You can snipe the turret guy out of it, but damaging the wraith itself can cause the skull to not appear. Drive your warthog (or whichever vehicle you are using) over to the circular silo near the wraith and park it right up against the side of it. You will need to be quick here.
Jump out of the vehicle and use it as a platform or higher elevation. Crouch jump up to the top of the silo🥀 and the skull should be here. If it isn't, wait a few seconds as it may have just notౠ spawned yet.
This skull incr𒅌eases the frequency at which enemies throw grenades.
Floodgate
Fog
The "Fog" skull can be found at the ver🀅y beginning of Floodgate. Just before you walk down the street between the buildings, pay close attention to the roof of the first building on your right. A flood f🍎orm should appear on top of the building once you get close enough.
Quickly headshot it to kill it and you should see the skull fly out of it, down onto the street below, wher💟e it can be picked up. If you miss the flood form and he gets away, or the skull lands somewhere out of reach, simply revert to the previous checkpoint and try again.
This skull deactivates your motion sensor.
The Ark
Famine & Cowbell
The Ark features two skulls, one in each half of the le𓆏vel. The first skull, "Famine" can be found afterܫ you pass under this structure pictured below.
When you reach the other side of it, exit a vehicle (provided you are in one) and climb up the rock incline, using the rocks on the left if you need to🤪. Fro🍷m here, you can jump up to the structure on the right.
Walk all the way down the walkway, to the final strut. Do a grenade jump here, up and to the left to reach thꦿe lower part of the strut, where you skull can be found.
This skull reduces the amount of ammo in dropped weapons by half. 🌳Spawned weapons are un🍎affected.
Much later in the level, after you've destroyed the scarab, enter t🦹he small building at the bottom of that area, where you should be able to find a few deployable gravity lifts surrounding a ไcrate. Grab one and hold onto it.
Once you are inside the building, you will eventually come to a downward ramp with numerous 🉐stacked alcoves at the bottom on theꦉ left, pictured below.
Drop the gravity lift a few feet up the ramp. You're going to want to try and land in the uppermost alcove. This is done easily by jumping just as you enter the gravity lift for extra upward momentum. Up here, you can 🌟find the "Cowbell" skull on the floor.
This skull causes explosions and melee attacks to impart further movement than 🧸usual, t🐠hough damage is not affected.
The Covenant
Thunderstorm & I Would Have Been Your Daddy
Widely regarded as the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:best mission in all of Halo, The Covenant features two skulls. The easier of the two skulls, "Thunders🦩torm" can be found shortly after you take flight in a hornet. You will pass a very large building on your right, near where the w😼raiths and banshees are patrolling. Fly over it to and land somewhere safe.
In the center of the building is a large ramp. Walk up this ramp and to the far end o🎐f the walk♋way to find the skull sitting on the floor.
This skull promotes ♉all enemies to the highest avai♌lable ranks.
At the very end up the level, after you have crossed the long bridge for the first time and activated the button on the far end, you c🥂an find the "I Would Have Been Your Daddy Skull" by jumping through the large blue holographic Halo rings in a certain order. From where you start, pictured below, let the seven rings be numbered from one to seven, with one being the closest and seven being the furthest.
You will need to jump through the rings in the following order: 4-2-3-4-3-5-4. Simply🌱 climb to the tops of each of the little trapezoidal structures that house each ring and jump up through the ring.
After the rings are jumped through, they should start flashing if done correctly. Turn aro💦und and head back to the light bridge near wher🌳e you started (at ring number one) and the most annoying skull in the game will be sat there waiting for you.
T☂his skull decreases the rarity of traditionally rare dialogue.
Cortana
Tilt
Shortly into the level "Cortana", you will come to a large circular room, pictured below, wh🍎ere the "Tilt" sku🅰ll can be found. Once you get in here, jump up the curved purple barrier to your left.
Jump to the beige platforms forward and to your left, then take a hard right and jump up to the higher platform in front of you, then ag🥀ain up to the top of the room.
Up here, the skull can be found si⛎tt🌄ing in a pile of goo.
This sk൲ull causes enemy weakness and resistances to be doubled.
Halo
Mythic
The final skuꦅll in the game, "Mythic" is also the easiest, a🏅nd can be found at the very beginning of the final mission, Halo. Right from the start, continue forward through the glacier, hugging the right wall, until you see the two rocks pictured below.
Right before those two rocks, to the right will be a crevice that leads into the mountain. If you hugged the right wall, you should have enꦐded up here n🍒aturally.
Proceed through the crevice to find the skull sitting amongst some roc👍ks.
This skul⭕l doubles the amount of health that enemies have.
Multiplayer Skulls
There are six skulls hidden throughout six multiplayer maps. These are much easier to attain than the campaign skulls (with the exception of the skull on Sandbox), and should be gotten in forge, where you can simply turn into the monitor and fly to the skulls. Once you reach them, turn back into a spartan/elite⛦ and quickly hold the reload button to pick up the skull. These skulls don't have in-game effects like the campaign ones do, but they do count for achievements.
Assembly
The first skull can be fo✤und on the map Assembly. Turn into the monitor and fly around the center structure of the map. On top of one of two "arms" that extend upward from🗹 the middle structure, the skull can be found sitting on the low part of the arm. Turn into your player to grab it.
