Silver Skull Guide

Mission: Sierra 117 - Blind
    Icon: An eye with the pupil crossed out.

    Effect: Your entire Heads-Up Display is disabled. You can't see your weapon, shield meter, motion sensor or ammo/grenades.

      Directions:
      1. Go to the area where you first encounter the Covenant. There should be a Brute Captain Major and a few Grunts.
      2. Face the large body of water and look for the protruding rock.
      3. Jump onto this rock. There should be another rock. Jump on this. Walk to the end of this rock and pick up the skull.


Mission: Crow's Nest - Grunt Birthday Party
    Icon: A skull marked with a candle.

    Effect: If a Grunt is shot in the head with any headshot-capable weapon (such as the Battle Rifle, Beam Rifle, Carbine, Sniper Rifle or Magnum), a popping sound is heard, colorful confetti explodes out of it which causes minor damage to nearby enemies, and a sound clip of children cheering from the game Viva Piata can be heard in the background. When the Grunt's head explodes, their mask will usually fall off.

      Directions:
      1. On your way to the barracks, you will come across a section in the level where you are required to drop down into a shaft, and at the bottom, are several pipe entrances, where Drones fly in and out of. Reaching the bottom will initiate a Cortana Moment.
      2. If you walk to the end of the corridor, there is another large drop (purple pipe with a rotating fan), but do not jump down. Instead, look down around the drop and you will notice a small ledge protruding out a little bit with a green arrow just visible in the middle of it. If you approach the edge very slowly and walk backwards very quickly as soon as you fall, you will land on the ledge. The skull will be located at the end of the passage.


Mission: The Ark - Cowbell
    Icon: A skull marked with a cowbell.

    Effect: Physics impulses are increased. Explosions and melee attacks launch characters and objects farther, but the damage is not affected.

      Directions:
      1.You must start this level from the beginning; starting from any other point will cause the skull to not appear. After defeating the Scarab, take a Gravity Lift from the small structure in the center (to the right of the entrance up the large slope), then continue on until you pass the room with a lot of explosive Plasma Batteries. In the hallway after this room, there is a tall section with openings above the turning point of the hall, and the skull is in the top one of the highest of these.

      There are several methods to obtain this skull:

      1. Use the Grav Lift to get there. The ideal place to deploy it is about three fourths of the way down the ramp, and a little to the left of the center, while facing up-ramp (facing up-ramp will ensure the Grav Lift doesn't slip farther down). Run down the ramp and jump, such that you reach the peak of your jump while directly over the Grav Lift. You should also be running towards the tall section, aiming towards the middle of the top shelf on the section. If your Grav Lift expires or is destroyed, you can always revert to last save since the room containing the skull is a checkpoint. If you have difficulty getting there, crouch while being Grav-Lifted. This may take a few tries.
      2. If you are having too much trouble placing the Grav Lift, it is possible to drive a Brute Chopper into the building. You can then drive the Chopper to the bottom of the ramp, jump onto it, and deploy the Grav Lift, which will go through the vehicle. You should be elevated to the opening with the skull.


Mission: The Covenant - IWHBYD (I Would Have Been Your Daddy)
    Icon: A skull marked with a double helix.

    Effect: Unlocks new, often humorous, dialogue for the AI.

      Directions:
      1. Near the end of the level, after you and the Arbiter fight through the Covenant to stop Truth from firing the Halo rings, the Flood will turn against you. Fight your way back to the elevator, but DO NOT drop through the vent at the end. Instead, turn around, facing the 7 holographic rings. From here, the closest ring is 1, the farthest away is 7. FOLLOW THIS SEQUENCE: 4 6 5 4 5 3 4 (If you listen closely, the humming noise of each holographic ring corresponds to one of 7 notes on a musical scale, and the sequence of notes produced by the rings in the sequence follows the tune of the last seven notes of the Gregorian Chant from the famous Halo Theme). Afterward, head all the way back to the control console and the skull should be on the floor just in front of the light-bridge.

      Note: When you pick up the skull, watch the rings and listen carefully. The rings you jumped through will light up in the same sequence you followed, and a low, solemn note will play corresponding to the number of the ring. If you listen carefully, you will be able to recognize the sequence as the closing notes of the chant from the Halo Theme. At the end, the final note will sound, then rise in pitch, and all the rings will glow brightly.


Mission: Cortana - Unknown Skull (Second Blind Skull)
    Icon: A skull marked with an eye with a crossed out pupil. Also, the skulls eyes are shaded white.

    Effects: Same as Blind Skull. Carrying it throughout the level will make you start the next level with a Spartan Laser and your current secondary weapon.

      Directions:
      1. The Blind Skull can be found in the reactor room. First, kill all of the Flood forces in the room. Once the room is free of Flood, search the room for some stacked up Deployable Covers. Make sure you have some grenades (not Spike Grenades or Firebombs) with you.
      Grab one of the Deployable Covers and climb one of the pillars that extend from the upper floor. Deploy the cover and climb it. Then, jump to the upper floor. If you can't do it with the Deployable Cover, throw a grenade on the end of the pillar and grenade jumpif you got the Famine skull by grenade jumping, you should be able to reach the upper floor in 2-3 tries.
      When you're up, search around the surface and look down. At some point, you should find the Blind Skull among some bones. It's above the main door.

      Note: Obtaining this skull before obtaining the actual Blind Skull from the Sierra 117 mission will make the Blind Skull available on the campaign options screen.

HaloPosted:

All of these are pretty easy to find except the one on Cortana since that mission is confusing! Great tutorial format, it's so neat. :)
