I Would Have Been Your Daddy, I cant get it to work. I jump through the rings, all in the order described, and nothing happens. Number 7 is the one closest to where truth was right? Does it matter wich way you go through the rings? Are we sure this is the right order? It wont light up, make any sounds, or nothing, and the skull doesnt show up at any bridge. Any ideas? Posting wrong?

== Hayabusa Armor ==


I think you're discovering the same problem I had. You see, it's VERY important that you jump legible in all the rings. I didn't, I jumped a little too late, making my foot catch the hologram, and the skull never appeared. Jump a little bigger, and start the jump a little earlier than you used to.

I tried the catch skull thing. It wasn't there. Is there a certain difficulty? I tried Normal, and it failed miserably.

I used the short sequence, skull spawned-picked it up, waited a second and saved and quit. Skull didn't register, re-loaded and did the sequence over and it still did not work (or even spawn)
*Ok, the trick with the catch skull is that it spawns when the 2ND wraith (mortar one) appears, and disappears when that wraith recieves damage, is destroyed, the driver/gunner is killed, I am not sure which. You can use the AAwraith (if you know how to jack it) and "park-it" back against the silo to get the skull; you can park a ghost or two on top if need be.[[User talk:Stneojimmy|Stneojimmy]] 11:06, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Haven't tried doing the level over yet though.
== Assassin Skull information ==


This was done with no skulls/meta game turned on.
I think the page has a bit of misleading information.  It says there is a fourteenth skull, the Assassin skull.  However, prior to reading this I did research on the discussions, and to my knowledge, the second blind skull that this article claims to be the Assassin Skull is in fact -not- the Assassin Skull.




I removed the part about not being able to just quit after you grab it because that's a lie. You can quit as soon as you pick up the skull. I did it today.  [[User:Spartan657|Kage]] 05:39, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


Someone re-added it [[User:Spartan657|Kage]]
According to my research, the second Blind Skull is a skull all by itself.  In the game code itself, there are fifteen skulls, including the second Blind Skull and the Assassin Skull.  However, in the game levels all together, there are only 14.  This is because the second Blind Skull is it's own skull that functions just like the first Blind Skull, and the Assassin's skull is supposidely a skull that was on a cut level from Halo 3.  When the level was removed, the skull itself stayed, but just wasn't shown because the level it was on no longer existed, and the skull no longer shows up on the skull menu.  However, it is still not the actual second Blind Skull.  The lock on the page prevents me from updating this.  I may be wrong, but I've seen evidence of the game's code itself, and I'd like this problem to be dealt with.


I took it out again, agreed that it's a lie. [[User:Mattemeo|Mattemeo]]
I admit the information about it is unclear on the current page. Register so you can edit.

== Cowbell ==


For some reason, the article says that cowbell does not affect damage, but I am certain it does affect explosive damage, as both myself and ememies die a lot quicker from explosives (most notable with a brute shot, being the weakest explosive weapon), nor have I noticed any effect on melee attacks. I did't want to change it yet, becasue I'm not entierly sure. [[User talk:MoronicCinamun|MoronicCinamun]] 20:20, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

I found this website that has a video of someone doing the IWHBYD skull with a different sequence, and he got the skull correctly. LINKZ: [http://www.mycheats.com/view/section/2426/19936/halo_3/xbox_360][[User:Kap2310|Kap2310]] 01:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
It does '''not''' effect damage, or else it would be a gold skull. [[User talk:Marslighthouse|Marslighthouse]] 20:24, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
 
Since the skull doesn't appear until the sequence is initiated, do you still have to do the whole level? [[User:Spartan 107|Spartan 107]] 01:36, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 
Ugh, i did the short sequence before, though it took me 3 tries cuz i messed up.  The rings started flashing like they should, and the skull was there and whatnot.  I picked it up, swung it around a few times, then dropped it and quit the level.
It was never registered.  I never got the skull, apparently...
I'm Uber Pissed!  Can anyone tell me what happened?  It wouldnt have been so bad if i just had to do the sequence, but i have to do the WHOLE LEVEL AGAIN!!!

I'm just curious.. How did someone figure out the seemingly random series of numbers?! [[User:December Wolf|December Wolf]]
 
Okay, I got the IWHBYD skull, messed around with it and quit. In the campaign lobby it didn't recognize that I got it so i did the whole level again, did the sequence perfectly, but..... it wouldn't appear again.

:I heard somewhere that you need to finish the level after you pick up the IWHBYD skull. It's not all that hard. Pick up the skull and go down the "bridge" to the start and jump down the hole.

== Odd skull in Sierra 117 ==
 
My little brother was playing a few moment ago when he found a skull from somwhere on the first level.
It seems like that the melee power is increased, Brute's personal shield is depleted with one hit with the skull
equipped.
 
I didn't see it on the list, so I decided to ask here
 
:I believe that all the skulls have increased melee power, so it's nothing special unfortunately.

== Do you... ==
 
Have to do the entire level... like start all the way from the very beginning to get the skull.. like for instance the Iron skull is at the end and I don't wanna go all the way there from the beginning.
 
:Well, you have to find SOME way of getting to the end, but you *should* be able to just start a new campaign for each skull you use regularly, do that level on Legendary, and save it at the checkpoint before the skull so you can just turn on your Xbox, go to that campaign, that level, that skull, then quit, switch players, and do whatever level you want without losing that checkpoint... or something. --<span style="font-weight: bold;" title="GPT does not work for Wikia">NOTASTAFF</span> <b>[[User:Guesty-Persony-Thingy|<font color="000000">GPT</font>]]<sub>([[User talk:Guesty-Persony-Thingy|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])</sub><sup>([[Special:Contributions/Guesty-Persony-Thingy|<font color="000000">eating</font>]])</sup></b> 21:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 
::That didn't help at all. WTF are you talking about? I found all the skulls I was just wondering since the Iron skull isn't there because I started from the bravo point that I really have to start from the beginning in order to obtain it.
 
:::Okay, I was thinking like in Halo 2... apparently there's a skull menu, so you can disregard most of that message... but of course you need to start at the beginning of the level--there's no way of getting to the end without starting it, and the only place you can start is the beginning unless you got a checkpoint, but even then to get a checkpoint you would have to start at the beginning of the level. --<span style="font-weight: bold;" title="GPT does not work for Wikia">NOTASTAFF</span> <b>[[User:Guesty-Persony-Thingy|<font color="000000">GPT</font>]]<sub>([[User talk:Guesty-Persony-Thingy|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])</sub><sup>([[Special:Contributions/Guesty-Persony-Thingy|<font color="000000">eating</font>]])</sup></b> 01:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

==Catch==
 
i cant get the catch skull to show up, its never there, ive tried killing everything, ive tryied not killing anything, ive tried killing my allies, ice tried everything that would be consider legal and its just not there, what is my problem?
 
:There's a couple things that could have gone wrong:
:One, make sure you're playing on either Normal, Heroic, or Legendary difficulty. The skulls will not appear on Easy.
:Secondly, make sure you play the level from the beginning — you cannot start mid-level.
:Also, for the Catch skull, make sure you ''don't'' kill all the Wraith tanks — the skull will disappear if you destroy them. And make sure you're on the right building — not the one closest to where you enter from, but the one beside it, farther off next to the Anti-Air Wraith.
:If you're still having problems, please reply :)

::I'm not the same as OP, but I can assure you that many, MANY people have done exactly as the instructions you have provided prescribe but to no avail. It is most likely a bug to which no concrete solution has been found. I've heard that restarting the game and getting every skull from the beginning might do it, but I haven't tried myself.
 
 
 
im pretty sure that this skull is glitched so taht you cannot get it until you go through the entire game and beat it on norm, heroic, or legendary....
 
KWG: I have played through this level multiple times on Normal, trying to get the skull.  I found that killing the Wraith gunners has no effect, nor does disabling the AA Wraith.  However, if you kill the non-AA Wraith's driver, even if the Wraith is left intact, the skull will disappear.  I verified this by using the sniper scope to check on the presence of the skull after trying various different combinations.  I found that even if you leave the AA Wraith and gunner alone, disabling the non-AA Wraith or killing its driver will cause the skull to disappear.
 
One other note:  grenade jumps and buddies have been suggested to get to the top of the silo, as well as combining a grenade jump with a vehicle.  I have also been able to climb up onto the silo by piling up ghosts and a warthog (I really suck at grenade jumps).  Once you clear the level of enemies except for the non-AA wraith, there are tons of ghosts and other vehicles around to make a junk pile--just make sure you do it on the side of the silo opposite the wraith, or you and your pile will get blown to hell.
 
On a side note.  I was playing the game a couple weeks ago and I destroyed the first AA Wraith, but '''not''' the second Wraith.  I then went to grab the skull and it was still there. [[User:Onyx spartan|Onyx spartan]] 01:24, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 
I have beat the whole game on nomal and have all the skulls except the catch skull. The skull still is not on top of the silo.

== Some Games Gone Bad? ==
So it seems some people are having big problems with some of these skulls (Tough Luck, Thunderstorm, IWHBYD (which I, no lie, have to complete the level to obtain). No, It's no disc error, as stated. Me myself, I'm using Pal, and the TL skull isn't there wih one of my accounts. Doing exactly the same with a similar profile does make it appear. However, with THAT account, the Thunderstorm skull is gone. Glitch, or do someone have the time to tell me what the ---- is going on?

The description says that Cortana says "I like to play games too..." Does this mean the room where she says: "You like games? So do I..." 'couse that's the only thing I can make fit.

==Missing Content==
The fog skull is missing currently, meshed into the Black Eye entry.  Other content may be misssing as well, can someone do a once-over and make sure nothing else is gone?
Ah, Tough Luck and Catch are also snipped.  What the hell?
 
Some vandals deleted half the page, doing so in several edits thus making it difficult to revert. I reverted it back to 03:39, 17 October 2007 169.232.121.30 because I had no idea how far back to go. [[User:The makuta|The makuta]] 14:24, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 
== Notes ==
 
I'm going to go ahead and change some of the effects entries. Notably Famine and Tilt, but some others too, among other things. [[User:155.205.200.18|155.205.200.18]] 02:05, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 
Done. I have shortened a lot of the effect descriptions, and made them easier to understand. I have removed the difficulty requirements from each skull (it is redundant) and noted this in the summary section. I will look through the guides to get the Skulls when I have more time. [[User:155.205.200.17|155.205.200.17]] 02:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 
Me again. I've updated it all nicely now. So if you wish to revert it to this godawful mess it is now, first give a damn good reason. [[User:155.205.200.17|155.205.200.17]] 04:32, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 
One more point. I've changed the "Achievement Icon" part to "Icon", so it's now the icon that appears in the skull selection screen. If someone can give a description of the Tilt and IWHBYD skull icons in the form:
 
A skull marked with a X.
 
That would be great. I can't check at the moment, so I've put "Indiscernible", but that's pretty lame. [[User:155.205.200.19|155.205.200.19]] 04:37, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 
Please cease adding redundant additions to the article. [[User:155.205.200.16|155.205.200.16]] 22:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 
Just made an account, made some small changes. If you disagree, contact me on my user page. [[User:Jimberson|Jimberson]] 11:09, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 
The recent entries under IWHBYD and Famine are unnecessary. The former is adding useless information to the article, and the latter makes no sense. I'll look into that, and if it works I'll add it in a context that does make sense, but until then I'm going to remove it. [[User:Jimberson|Fred]] 03:17, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 
Again, please cease adding redundant information into the article. The recent edits under "Catch" are unnecessary, as killing a gunner is not equivalent to destroying the tank, and that is clearly stated as the requirement to make the skull disappear. [[User:Jimberson|Fred]] 11:40, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 
Changed a few things. Again. It's getting better and better, though. I think the extra information under Grunt Birthday Party about the cheer isn't necessary, after more though. If anyone disagrees, then find a way to say it that doesn't sound silly. [[User:Jimberson|Fred]] 23:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 
Wow, there is a load of crap in the article. Redundant, erroneous. I'm fixing it. Again. [[User:Jimberson|Fred]] 11:55, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
