In Halo 3, the IWHBYD (I Would Have Been Your Daddy) Skull is located on the level [[The_Covenant_(Level)|The Covenant (Level)]]. To get this skull, you must be on difficulty level [[Normal]], [[Heroic]], or [[Legendary]]. 

The name of the skull is based on a statement uttered by [[Sergeant Johnson]] in the first Halo: "I would have been your daddy, but a dog beat me over the fence!" It is also the name of the first chapter of the campaign level [[Assault on the Control Room]] in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]].

In order to get the IWHBYD skull, you must complete the entire mission until you reach the final battle scene, where the [[Prophet of Truth]] is planning on lighting all seven rings. Once you reach the bridge, battle your way across with the Arbiter and Flood, neutralize all Covenant, watch/skip the cinematic, and kill all the flood (this is optional, but makes the procedure much easier). Once the bridge is devoid of enemies, you will have to literally jump through the 7 rings in a complex order. Once you have completed this, the IWHBYD skull will appear at the beginning of the light bridge leading to Truth's podium.

Each number corresponds to the ring you must jump through. The ring at the elevator is 1. The ring next to Truth is 7. The ring with red on it is 4.

Sequence order: '''4,6,5,4,5,3,4'''

Once you have completed the sequence, the skull will appear at the beginning of the light bridge leading to Truth's podium. If you are not sure you got it then look at the rings when you complete the sequence, they will be blinking. The Halo theme will play as you get the skull. You must then finish the level, or the skull will not be saved to your profile and you will have to get it again.

There is a second second sequence that is believed to be a "backup" for the other sequence, but this is false. The last seven digits of the false code comprise the real code, and all the other jumps do nothing, and are therefore unnescessary. This is the fake sequence: 1,3,4,6,7,5,'''4,6,5,4,5,3,4'''. The bold numbers make up the real code.

Each of the holographic rings sound a different tone of the E Dorian scale when you stand near it. The sequence, if you pay attention, plays part of the Halo theme song. Also, the rings in the citadel resemble the seven installations, with the fourth ring being Installation 04, indicated by its red glow.

==Effect==

The IWHBYD Skull unlocks the extra dialogue in the game, which usually comes from the UNSC Marines and Elites, but some ridiculous dialogue does come from enemy forces with this skull on. For example if in a group of two Brutes one is killed, the remaining [[Brute]] has a chance to say "You killed my lover!" Here is a list of quotes, from their respective races.

===Brutes===

"Pie is good."

"You killed my lover!" - If one of a two-brute group is killed.

"Sorry, we don't take master card."

"I like chicked neggets!"

"The power is YOURS!" - When a brute sticks you with a grenade.

===Grunts===

"You killed Flipyap! Or Yapflip, was he... It was Flipyap... No, Flipyap was his brother. Don't tell me I don't know Yapflip! Flipyap and I went to Nipple Academy together, and, eh, now he's dead..." - If a neaby grunt is killed. 

They also say different things while asleep, such as "Merry Christmas".

"We are the champions, my friends." - If the player is killed by a Grunt.

===Marines===

"THIS IS SPARTA!"

"That one called you fat Chief!" - [[Sergeant Johnson]]

"Chief, can we be friends?."

"This is for all the ladies at home I would be sexin' if I weren't here!"

"I loved him." - If the player kills a nearby marine.

===Elites===

"Chief, can we be friends?"

"Wort wort wort!" - From [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]

===343 Guilty Spark===

"You suck, Reclaimer." - If the player kills an allied Auto Turret in front of Spark, unkown if the same is done to a Sentinel)

"Maybe you should try playing on Easy." - If the player destroys an allied Sentinel

The following quotes are said by 343 Guilty Spark when he is shot by the player.

"That hurts my feelings, oh my God I have feelings! I'm a real boy!"

"Are you always a pain in the ass?" 

"I'm being bitch slapped!"

You do not need the IWHBYD skull for 343 Guilty Spark to say "You're pissing me off! Oh my! I didn't know I had cursing in my programming" when he is shot by the player.

-The '''Halo 3 IWHBYD (I Would Have Been Your Daddy) skull''' is located on the campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''.

-The IWHBYD skull causes rare dialogue in the game to become commonplace, and normally frequent dialogue to become rare. These lines are can be heard spoken by all talking non-player characters; both enemies and allies.
-For example, if a [[Jiralhanae]] is killed, one of the surviving Brutes might say, "He was my lover!" or "Every pack-brother for himself!" These lines can be heard without the skull on, but it becomes much more likely to be spoken with it on.
+"Pie is good."
-== Trivia ==
+"You killed my lover!" - If one of a two-brute group is killed.

-* The skull was intended to be the hardest skull to find, and was in fact the last one to be discovered. However, it was discovered very quickly after the game's release when hackers looked in the game's scripts.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=20282 '''halo.bungie.org:''' ''Phooey.'']</ref>
-* The further the skull is carried from the control panel, the brighter the rings will glow until the lights become blinding. It is assumed that the holograms would have also behaved in this manner if they were all activated.
-*Each of the holographic rings sound a different tone of the E Dorian mode when the player stand near it. The sequence, if one pays attention, plays the final 7 notes of the Halo theme song.
-*Once the player grabs the skull and the new music begins, the eerie Flood music fades, and when the player finishes the level, there will be no music while Master Chief is following Cortana, although the Halo theme will play as scripted as the [[Installation 08|ring]] rises out of the Ark.
-*The task to complete this skull was most likely intended to be a humorously literal allusion to the phrase "jumping through hoops". This phrase refers to the process of completing seemingly meaningless, but nonetheless required, tasks to achieve a desirable end result.
