The '''Halo 3 IWHBYD (I Would Have Been Your Daddy) skull''' is located on the campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''. This skull has no actual gameplay effects, but reverses the frequency of the dialogue spoken by [[non-playable character]]s, allowing several humorous lines to be heard where otherwise such humorous lines would be very rare.
In Halo 3, the IWHBYD (I Would Have Been Your Daddy) Skull is located on the level [[The_Covenant_(Level)|The Covenant]]. To get this skull, you must start at the beginning of the mission, and be on the difficulty level of [[Normal]], [[Heroic]], or [[Legendary]].  


==Origins==
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]].
The name of the skull is based on a statement, occasionally uttered by both [[Sergeant Johnson]] and [[Stacker|Sergeant Stacker]] in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'': "I would have been your daddy, but a dog beat me over the fence!" The quote was originally spoken by [[Pete Stacker]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjKkKHShyp8 '''YouTube''': ''Halo Fest: Halo Universe'']</ref>
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.


It is also the name of the first chapter of the campaign level ''[[Assault on the Control Room]]'' in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. Not only is the skull's name a reference to this line, but the skull's description reads "But a dog beat me over the fence" The exception of this is in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' and ''[[Halo 4]]'', where the description reads, "Rare dialog is common and vice versa".
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.


== Walkthrough ==
Sequence order: '''4, 6, 5, 4, 5, 3, 4'''.
The IWHBYD skull is located on the level The Covenant''. To obtain the skull, the player ''must'' start the level from the very beginning, and not from a Rally Point, and on [[Normal]], [[Heroic]], or [[Legendary]].


When you reach the final scene, where the [[Prophet of Truth]] is planning on lighting the [[seven]] [[Halo Array|rings]], proceed as you would normally: kill the [[Covenant]], kill Truth, and kill the [[Flood]], but do ''not'' jump down the elevator shaft once you have finished that.
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.


Once the bridge is devoid of enemies, you will have to jump through the seven holograms of the Halos in a specific order.
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 are holographic projections of the [[7]] Halo installations, the fourth being the newly reconstructed (and unfinished) Installation 04, the yet-to-build areas indicated by the red-glowing sections. .


You should jump through the rings after Truth dies. The skull will still appear if you are playing in co-op (2-4 players).
==Effect==


''Note: you can restart jumping through the rings without restarting the level over as long as you start from the beginning.''
The IWHBYD Skull unlocks the extra dialogs in the game, which usually comes from the [[UNSC]] Marines and Elites, but some ridiculous dialogs 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 a few quotes, from their respective races.


The [[Seven|7]]-ring sequence is as follows. Each number corresponds to the ring you must jump through; the ring at the elevator is 1, and the ring next to Truth is 7. The ring with red on it is [[Installation 08|4]].
===[[Brutes]]===


Sequence order:
#"Pie is good."{{fact}}
* 4 6 5 4 5 3 4 
#"Sorry, we don't take Mastercard!"
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 in sequence. 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 do it all over again.
#"Sorry, we don't take American Express!"
#"It's the demon! I bet he tastes like a homo bunny!
#"I like chicken nuggets!"
#"The power is YOURS!" - When a [[Brute]] sticks you with a grenade, in reference to ''Captain Planet''.
#"Ding dong, the [[Master Chief|demon]] is dead!" - When a [[Brute]] kills you.

#"He was my lover!" - When you kill a nearby [[Brute]].
#"I have you now!" - In reference to ''Star Wars Episode IV''.

#"There's no ''I'' in ''team''! Let's get him together!"{{fact}}
#"Oh no, my weak spot!" - When a [[Brute]] loses it's shields.
#"...save the last dance for me."
#"Oh my god! its stuck!" - If you stick a [[Brute]]  with a grenade.


== Effect ==
===[[Grunts]]===
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.
#"You killed Flipyap! Or Yapflip, was he... It was Yapflip... No, Flipyap was his brother. Don't tell me I don't know Flipyap! Flipyap and I went to Nipple Academy together, and, eh, now he's dead..." - If a nearby [[Grunt]] is killed.
#"You killed Poonflip!  Flippiest poon I ever knew!" - If a nearby [[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]]. Reference to a song by ''Queen''.
#"Well this sucks, I'm headin' north!" - If the player shoots at a fleeing [[Grunt]]. Reference to the ''Narnia'' novels.
#"Fear my bright, blue balls!" - When a [[Unggoy#Suicide_Grunts|Suicidal Grunt]] charges the player. Players have also heard "Feel" or "Taste my bright, blue balls".
#"I was so wrong to shoot at you." - If targeting or shooting a [[Grunt]] who recently shot you.
#"I'll polish your boots. I'll polish your helmet!" - Panicking grunt, this a reference to the [[Final Grunt]].
#"You know, if he gets us, he will tear out our skulls, rip off our masks, and burn the methane. *sigh* We deserve it"
#"Don't kill me!! Look, I will join your side!" *Throws a grenade at an ally* See my betrayal? I can join you now, right?" - When targeting or shooting a [[Grunt]].
#"Adbrakasomething!" - When [[Grunt]] throws grenade at player.
#"Green armor, good camouflage, shiny green armor, not so much".
#"He really just beat the shit out of me!" - If you melee a grunt but he survives and flees.
#"Pray before you eat me!" - When you stick or are about to kill a Grunt.
#If a nearby grunt is killed, occasionally, one might start stating the [[final grunt]] line.
#"Safe and demand! (May be misheard) - When a suicidal grunt gets close to the player.
#"I will rip out your intestines, and wear them as a necklace!"
#"What a world!" - When facing the [[Master Chief]] or [[The Arbiter]].
#"Open up and say ahh!" - When throwing a grenade at the player.
#"I have methane, you want?" - When a [[Grunt]] gets chased by you for a while.
#"Here's one for your Mama!"
#"I'm gonna open up a big can of whoop-ass!"
#Sometimes, a grunt may start to say what [[final grunt]] says.
#"I really should have taken those leadership classes!" - Said when you kill the grunts' leader.
#"Thank you for choosing Air Blue-Ball!" - When a [[Grunt]] is going Kamikaze.
#"If you follow the path brother, I MIGHT follow. - if a lot of grunts are together and some are killed.
#"Suck It Heretic!!-Said when throwing grenade and player.(may have been misheard)
#"Fuckin' Heretic!"-said when near group of grunts as Arbiter


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.
===[[Marines]]===


== Trivia ==
#"I must have won the lottery!" Said when given a more powerful weapon.
{{Linkbox|quote=yes}}
#"I would have been your daddy, but that dog beat me over the fence."
* 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>
#"This is SPARTA!" - A [[Marine]] upon having a victorious kill. Reference to the movie ''300''.

#"I loved him." - If the player kills a nearby [[marine]].
*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.
#"I've got some pictures on my MySpace if you want to see them." - Said by a Female [[Marine]].
*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.
#"You [[Master Chief|Chief]] you" - Said when [[Master Chief|Chief]] gets killed. Possibly a reference to ''South Park''.

#"It's pretty nice with these zombies, I could use a break from fighting the martians" - When the [[Flood]] appear on The Covenant.
#"Thank you for killing the big scary thing." - Said after you kill a high ranked [[Brute]].

#When you are driving a Warthog over jumps with a marine passenger they will sometimes sing the horn jingle (Dixie) of the General Lee from ''The Dukes of Hazzard''.
#"Thanks [[Arbiter]], you might as well take a crap in my hat." - At the second rally point if player two trades his [[Plasma Rifle]] for the marines [[Rocket Launcher]].
#"Now you may take a crap in mah hat!" - At the second rally point if player two trades his [[Plasma Rifle]] for the marine's [[Rocket Launcher]].{{fact}}

==Strategies==
* Kill all enemies before you attempt the sequence.
* Do not kill your "ally" [[Flood]] until all [[Covenant]] are dead, they will help a lot in the fighting.
* An easy way to wipe them out is to melee them right off the bat and then use lesser weapons for mop-up (save the [[Fuel Rod Cannon]]s and [[Brute Shot]]s for later).
* Take this chapter of the level EXTREMELY slow and wipe out all enemy turned [[Flood]], especially on [[Legendary]] so that you can complete the "ring-jumping" sequence unharmed.
*A good idea to get the skull is after you killed Truth and all the Flood.
*A good idea is to do the sequence before you kill Truth if you're finding the [[Flood]] annoying.
*A good idea is to play on [[Normal]] if the Flood or the Covenant are too hard.
 
==Trivia==
 
*Ironically, the skull was intended to be the hardest skull to find. However, it was discovered very quickly by hackers.
*A possible reference to [[7]], I would have been your daddy has 7 syllables.
*You must jump through 7 rings to obtain the skull. A possible [[7]] reference.
