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 playing on the difficulty level of either [[Normal]], [[Heroic]], or [[Legendary]].
==Origins==
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>


The name of the skull is based on a statement, uttered by [[Sergeant Johnson]] in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' (in the last level on Legendary difficulty): "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 (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".
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".

The IWHBYD Skull is located in The Covenant. To obtain the skull, ''start the level from the very beginning, and not from a Rally Point.'' 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, kill the [[Flood]], ''but do not'' jump down the elevator shaft once you have finished that.
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]].


Once the bridge is devoid of enemies, you will have to jump through the seven holograms of the Halos in a specific order. When you have completed this, the IWHBYD Skull will appear at the beginning of the light bridge leading to Truth's podium. Note that you should not jump through the rings before Truth dies. Note you can work as a team in co-op (2-4 players) and work as a team to speed up the process. Just make sure you jump through the right rings, as it really speeds up things. Note: you can restart jumping through the rings without restarting the level over as long as you start from the beginning (eg: If you do 4.6.3 in accident, you can restart again)
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.


The [[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 04 (II)|4]]. (Be aware that the order in which the rings are numbered for this sequence does not represent their actual installation number. In fact, the ring closest to the elevator is Installation 07.)
Once the bridge is devoid of enemies, you will have to jump through the seven holograms of the Halos in a specific order.


Sequence order: '''4, 6, 5, 4, 5, 3, 4'''.
You should jump through the rings after Truth dies. The skull will still appear if you are playing in co-op (2-4 players).


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 get it again''. '''''You do not have to hold the skull until the end of the mission'''''.
''Note: you can restart jumping through the rings without restarting the level over as long as you start from the beginning.''


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 incomplete areas indicated by the red-glowing sections.
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]].


NOTE: If the Above Sequence of '''4, 6, 5, 4, 5, 3, 4'''  does not work try, '''1 3 4 6 7 5 4 6 5 4 5 3 4'''
Sequence order:  
* 4 6 5 4 5 3
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.

The IWHBYD Skull causes rare dialog in the game to become commonplace. These lines are can be heard spoken by all talking AI, enemy or friendly. For example if in a group of two Brutes one is killed, the remaining Brute has a chance to say "You killed my lover!" This line can be heard without the skull on, but becomes much more likely to be spoken with it on. Here is a list of quotes from the respective races. However, there are many more quotes than what are being listed.

The Halo 3 IWHBYD (I Would Have Been Your Daddy) skull is located on the campaign level The Covenant. This skull has no actual gameplay effects, but reverses the frequency of the dialogue spoken by non-playable characters, allowing several humorous lines to be heard where otherwise such humorous lines would be very rare.

Origins[edit]

The name of the skull is based on a statement, occasionally uttered by both Sergeant Johnson and 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.[1]

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".

Walkthrough[edit]

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 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 the bridge is devoid of enemies, you will have to jump through the seven holograms of the Halos in a specific order.

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

Note: you can restart jumping through the rings without restarting the level over as long as you start from the beginning.

The 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 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 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.

Effect[edit]

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.
