Realworld Template should be added?
Should Template:Realworld be added to this article? --Dragonclaws 02:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think so since these are in-game things and not really relate to outside of Halo.--Jack-137 02:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- 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. --Dragonclaws 03:28, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- I understand that but then wouldn't all of the levels need this template since they all have some walkthrough or guide about them?--Jack-137 04:15, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

The podcast!
The first episode of the podcast said that there is a skull that makes it so that the dialog that is often heard is replaced with that which is less often heard.
- Which podcast by who? What? Where? When? --210.174.41.209 00:19, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Something to confirm
- Reading, you realize most of these are totally useless (unless you want more of a challenge). However, Famine appears to have a HUGE advantangeous use, if this were to work. Could someone check to see, with the skull, if dropping an empty weapon, then picking it back up will cause it to regain half of its ammo?
a skull called infinite was reported on another site. it is found in the quaritere zone (can't spell) its not confirmed. some one confirm it
IWHBYD Skull
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 70.58.159.38 22:05, 30 December 2006 (UTC
What I dont get is how to keep the skull without starting the level over if you get killed in sniper alley after you pick up the skull. I have gone to the last checkpoint every time I am waiting to respawn after being killed, but it doesnt work for me. Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!

This may be late advice, but I suppose for anyone just reading this, obtain two or three additional checkpoints after you spawn the skull, then save and quit, and it will always be there on that saved game profile. -TheLostJedi 23:24, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
Strange Things
Okay, I have got it so that on 14 different profiles, i have 1 skull each(so I can get them all rather quickly), and when I got over 6 skulls at once, strange stuff started to happen to the game. There are 8 effects that I noticed:
- ALL Elite Flood forms have shields.
- I saw a Combat form flood with a beam rifle
- Strange diolog such as 2 grunts(on a master chief level) saying "How are you today?" and another grunt saying "fine thanks."
- The Covenant/Jackal sniper grav towers don't "pull" you up into them, you can just stand in its beam and it won't work.
- A grunt got in a HUMAN turret.
- Marines are very strong, one got hit 10 times with a sword from an ultra and didn't die.
- There are way fewer checkpoints, Example: No checkpoint from 1st checkpoint on cairo station to the end of the first bay.
- (NOT CONFIRMED) ALL sentinels are shielded

Ok... and those skulls were...? --Dandaman879 20:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, Thunderstorm makes enemies their highest rank, explaning the Flood and the sentinels. The dialogue is an effect of the I Would Have Been Your Daddy skull, but I don't know about the rest. --Dragonclaws(talk) 06:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- The marines surviving the sword is the Mythic skulls, they are immune to melees.68.230.163.203 21:57, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Youtube links / Spelling
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. Template:TS 17:46, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I added a video for ALL the skulls. I tried to get a video for each individual skull, but I couldn't find one for all of them. Enjoy. Phil.e. 22:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)Phil.e..
Status?
Why is the status: confirmed still there, all the skulls say confirmed. 58.110.146.238 07:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know. That's just how AgentSeethroo made it. --Dragonclaws(talk) 09:48, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

How do I get it to spawn? 14:46, July 26th, 2007, (EST)
Sputnik
are there any enemies on the route to sputnik?SpecOps ODSTcomm link 22:51, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Nope, no enemies, it is probably the easiest skull to get to. HДĿΘFáṆ 11:03, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- About the Sputnik Skull, do you have to finish the level Quarantine Zone in order for its effect to take place? Template:Signatures/Emosworld 10:26, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
No, you just have to pick it up and its effects will take place. This works for all the skulls as well. HДĿΘFáṆ 10:40, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, ok. Thank you so much!! I admit that Quarantine zone is an impossible level for me to finish on Legendary. Template:Signatures/Emosworld 01:38, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Catch Skull Hyperlink Error
Why is Catch skull redirected to HERE? Catch skull is in Halo 3 too. We need a disambiguation page for Catch Skull. Jeffrey3732 02:01, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
Unnamed Skull from the armory
Two days ago, I think I noticed that the ability to take the skull does not depend on you waiting for Johnson to say the "please" thing. I got this because I waited and waited, but before he said the sentence, his dialog was reset and started over from the beginning. Anyway, I was able to obtain the skull. Therefore, I'm more convinced that only the time and not the sentence trigger it. Should this be mentioned? -Athanor
Perhaps it's another 7 reference with the time. -TheLostJedi 23:27, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
