::The Realword template says "This article is written from the Real World point of view." Although the skulls are in Halo, this article seems to be written as a game guide. Also, the skulls are powerups that do not fit into the ''Halo'' world, unlike overshields and active camo. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 03:28, 6 August 2006 (UTC) | ::The Realword template says "This article is written from the Real World point of view."

How would the ghost skull make it easier to get finish the elites for the skull? Seems to me like it would just make them flinch less and therefore get more shots in. -Monkeyfoetus [[User:70.58.159.38|70.58.159.38]] 22:05, 30 December 2006 (UTC | How would the ghost skull make it easier to get finish the elites for the skull?

It should be way easier to find the skulls if there was an Youtube link to every skull, not just to Sputnik, which is one of the easiest to obtain. And someone please hack into the CD and spell the Whoopotatamus skull right. There is no spelling like one other on the article. | It should be way easier to find the skulls if there was an Youtube link to every skull, not just to Sputnik, which is one of the easiest to obtain.

No, you just have to pick it up and its effects will take place. This works for all the skulls as well.

Does anyone know how to activate the effects of the skulls? I grabbed a skull and nothing happens. Do you have to save and start the level on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary?

:If you're playing on legendary when you get the skull, the effect should activate immediately. When you pick it up, the screen should flash white, most of your HUD will disappear, and the skull's name (if any) will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. You should also hear a type of 'fly-by' sound. If you don't get this, you either found the skull but weren't playing on legendary, or somehow glitched it to not work or something. Most skulls only appear in legendary, so I don't know why you'd be getting problems. <small><span style="border: 2px solid black; -moz-border-radius:24px">[[User:orionf22|'''<span style="background-color:#787878; color:white; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px"> | :If you're playing on legendary when you get the skull, the effect should activate immediately.

:::The instant you pick up the skull is the instant its effect becomes active. The only exception is the IWHBYD skull, which requires you to fend your own against seven waves of Ultra Elites. Other than that, all you have to do is pick up the skull on legendary for it to work. However, the effects only last as long as the game is active. If you quit (as in close on Vista or turn off your xbox) the effects reset, and you'll have to go pick up the skulls again for them to work. | :::The instant you pick up the skull is the instant its effect becomes active.

:::For this reason, it is recommended that you make a new profile for each skull. Fight your way to the skull as you please, then go hunting for it. Save and quit once you get a checkpoint right before the skull (this is the checkpoint you'll always come back to when you restart Halo so you can reactivate the skull(s)). It is imperative that you save and quit with a checkpoint ''before'' you pick up the skull. If you get a checkpoint after picking it up, and return to it later, the effect will not activate (as you already have the skull). The trivia section on the article describes precisely what to do. I do that, and it's worked perfectly thus far. | :::For this reason, it is recommended that you make a new profile for each skull. Fight your way to the skull as you please, then go hunting for it.
