Looking for those elusive nine golden skulls scattered throughout the Halo 3 campaign? The folks at MyCheats have created a video unveiling the location of each skull. Warning: if you haven't finished the campaign, you might spy a potential spoiler by merit of seeing a future level. For everyone else, let the skull hunting begin.

What the hell are you doing with an unopened, legally bought copy of Halo 3 after launch date? The cover isn't THAT pretty.

You keep the games sealed until you play them? I usually rip anything I buy immediately out of the packaging.

JS @ Sep 27th 2007 10:51AM

EXACTLY, I rip it open to check the CD's (don't want any scratches!) before I leave Best Buy and I'm reading the dang manual on the ride home.

Jason @ Sep 26th 2007 11:39PM

Anybody know where the silver skulls are? I've only got the grunt birthday one.

Paul @ Sep 28th 2007 4:55PM

I found blind in the first level after the first skermish with the enemy. Follow the rocks along the right side of the river down to the lake and you'll see it sitting there on the rock. Enjoy having no UI!

I agree, the boxart sucked.

phattie @ Sep 26th 2007 11:49PM

What do you get for your efforts?

n0v4 @ Sep 27th 2007 9:18AM

achievement points ... that's pretty much it. ranks you on xbox.com

By the way is that me or was one of those not an achievement?

Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 27th 2007 12:01AM

A good asswhippin in legendary,basically the skulls makes the game harder.

Dan Bugglin @ Sep 27th 2007 12:02AM

And my wait for the PC port begins!

Hmm... lalala.... la dee da....

I'll probably be here for a couple years...

Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 27th 2007 12:03AM

Huh Bungie sure picked some creative spots to hide all the skulls.do they appear in normal? because I don't remember seeing them in those spots.

3cubed minus 3squared plus1 @ Sep 27th 2007 2:03PM

They really did. I don't think I've picked one up yet.
Gears cogs were so easy compared to these.

pha7e @ Sep 27th 2007 1:31AM

Watching him try to get the second skull is painful. There's such an easier jump to get up there directly to his left.

h0mi @ Sep 27th 2007 3:42AM

So im playing the game in legendary and tried to get that 1st one but when I went to that corner... no skull.

What went wrong?

HineyWipe @ Sep 27th 2007 8:45AM

Someone either needs to learn how to edit out mistakes, or learn how to freakin jump!
And now, a line from Hamlet...

Spilt_Milk @ Sep 27th 2007 9:07AM

You must start the level from mission start. Skulls won't appear is you start from a checkpoint.

h0mi @ Sep 27th 2007 1:56PM

Doh! Ok thanks. I guess I'll have to redo that mission. Ugh.

fawazr @ Sep 27th 2007 9:47AM

Few things are more frustrating the platforming in an FPS.

Sean @ Sep 27th 2007 12:22PM

Metroid Prime had the best platforming on an FPS from what I've played. They pretty much nailed it.

h0mi @ Sep 27th 2007 1:53PM

hahah that would make for a funny video... Master Chief presents... hamlet

shane @ Sep 28th 2007 12:02AM

Master Chief Hamlet? It's been done.

GOT ALL SKULLS

daniel @ Sep 30th 2007 2:07PM

how do u activate the skull on the one where u walk along the rocks cuz i pick it up and nothing happens

zac @ Sep 30th 2007 6:02PM

do you have to be on different difficulties or sumthin to get the skulls cuz have of mine arent showing up.

Magik @ Oct 2nd 2007 4:12PM

I want to know if you set out to find these skulls on a co-op game does the acheivment only go to the person who actually grabs the skull?

DontFknLookatme @ Oct 2nd 2007 9:13PM

Couple questions:

1) If I've already beaten a mission and want to go back to get the skull, can I quit the mission after I pick up the skull or do I have to see it all the way through again?

2) Once you get the skull, how do you activate and deactivate them?

Thanks for everyone's help with this. Hope you're enjoying the H3

Matt @ Oct 5th 2007 8:15PM

Skulls appear on normal or higher difficulty (heroid or legendary also). Once you collect the skull you may quit the level and you still kep them. Once you have the skulls, you activate them by pushing 'X' when on the campaign select list. You can also turn scoring on. Skulls give multipliers adding to the points collected...but dont forget, skulls make the game harder, each has an added effect.
Err...i have all the skulls cept 'catch' anyone know why it's not appearing, i've tried killing none of the wraiths, one of them and both of them...none seem to make it appear...help???

CobraAgain @ Oct 10th 2007 3:37PM

Is there a Skull in each level? I don't want to know where they are just that there is one per level?

rockycha @ Oct 25th 2007 1:46PM

Thanks for the tips! I've added this page to my Skulls Gift Headquarters:

rockycha @ Oct 25th 2007 1:47PM

Oh, btw, I've added a link to the 4 Silver Skulls on my page too! http://www.squidoo.com/skull-gift

Happy Gaming!

TruTallica @ Oct 28th 2007 9:52PM

You can start at a check point if it's within the check point of where the skull is at, I'm assuming as long as you haven't finished the mission, yet. Then you don't have to re-do the mission.

I did this with the Ark, it was giving me hell last night and I gave it a rest, then started at that check point today and got it with no problem.

Also, where you have to use the gravity lift for the silver skull in the Ark; if you f' up, just kill yourself on spot and try again. ;)
