Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Skulls are game modifiers that will be featured in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary with the appearance of a human skull. Like in Halo 3, they must be hunted down within the campaign levels to gain access to them. The skulls and the effects will not be visible in Classic mode.[1]

List of skulls

List of Gold Skulls

Iron skull

Level: The Pillar of Autumn.

Location: This skull is located in the very beginning of the level, at the back of the Cryo deck. If facing away from the observation platform (where Sam is killed,) it is on the left side of the room, behind a stack of crates that are behind the targeting lights.

Effect: When activated, this skull will restart the level if the player is killed, or reload the last checkpoint if multiple players are killed playing co-operatively.[2]

Mythic skull

Level: Halo

Location: After defeating the first Covenant wave, walk directly towards the waterfall from the escape pod. It is behind the large boulder on the right in the water.

Effect: When activated, the health of Covenant infantry will be doubled.[3]

Foreign skull

Level: Truth and Reconciliation

Location: At the bottom floor of the Hangar, in the hallway where the Hunters ambush the Marines.

Effect: When activated, players will no longer be able to pick up Covenant weaponry.[3]

Famine skull

Level: The Silent Cartographer

Location: At the tip of the small bluff where Pelican dropship Bravo 022 is shot down and crash lands.

Effect: When activated, weapons dropped by the AI - ally or enemy - would have half the ammunition they normally would.[2]

Bandana skull

Level: The Silent Cartographer

Location: At the end of the tunnel on the ceiling in the Security console building (Warning: Grenade jump necessary.)


Effect: When activated, players will have unlimited ammo. The skull's name is a reference to the Metal Gear franchise, in which every game has an unlockable bandana that grants the player infinite ammunition.[1]

Fog skull

Level: Assault on the Control Room

Location: After crossing the first bridge and taking the elevator down to the ground floor, the skull will be on a raised platform in the center of this room and will be surrounded by fog. It will require a grenade jump to reach it

Effect: When activated, the player's motion sensor will be disabled.[2]

Malfunction skull

Level: Assault on the Control Room

Location: When you enter the tunnel and you come to the large room with a gorge, you will notice pipes that stick out of the gorge in the middle on both sides. The skull is on one of the pipes sticking out of the gorge's walls.

Effect: When activated, one random part of the Heads-up display will disappear after every respawn.[2]

Recession skull

Level: 343 Guilty Spark

Location: Locate to the left of the Facility in a little drop behind a shade turret. 
When you cross the fallen tree, you'll see a shade turret blow up and assault rifle fire coming from the structure. Instead of going inside, immediately go to the left and keep against the back wall. you'll come to a turret with a small drop behind it. Slide down the drop carefully and the skull will be waiting for you at the bottom.



Effect: When activated, every shot the player fires would deplete two rounds instead of one. For plasma-based weapons, the depletion rate is doubled.[1]

Black Eye skull

Level: The Library

Location: In the back of one of the vents before entering the Index chamber for the first time. (Warning: Grenade jump necessary.)
 On the first floor at the beginning of the level, you will notice squarish openings in the ceiling that the flood use to enter the level. Before entering the round, yellow room, find the vent closest to that door and do a grenade jump into it. The skull will be waiting for you.

Effect: When activated, the only way players are able to recharge their energy shields after taking damage is to melee an enemy.[3]

Eye Patch skull

Level: The Library

Location: Behind the Index on the final platform. 
Instead of running onto the platform to grab the Index, go around while remaining as far from the Index as possible. The skull will be waiting on the ground right behind it.



Effect: When activated, auto-aim will be disabled.[3]

List of Silver Skulls

Boom skull

Level: Halo

Location Hint: Apparently even the Forerunners needed indoor plumbing. Before driving your Warthog into the underground Forerunner facility, look straight up to see a series of pipes. Walk along the cliff edge and jump to the pipe mesh.

Effect: When activated, all explosions' damage radius will increase two-fold.[1]

Piñata skull

Level: Two Betrayals

Location Hint: Don't rush, take some time to explore. After that last fight, you earned some time off. After you capture the last Banshee, fly it past the third generator room back to where you emerged from the chasm tunnel. Search the top of the underground entrance.

Effect: When activated, hostile infantry will drop a plasma grenade with each melee.[3]

Grunt Birthday skull

Level: The Maw

Location Hint: Foehammer's last stand. Use your Warthog to get up on the railing near where Foehammer goes down at the end of the mission.

Effect: When activated, Unggoy will explode in a shower of confetti with a headshot.[1]

Grunt Funeral skull

Grunt Funeral Skull

Level: Exclusive preorder promotion.[4]

Effect: When activated, every Unggoy's methane tank will explode similar to a plasma grenade when killed.
