How do you get the skull on the covenant on Halo 3?

Answer 1

make sure you start from the beginning of the level before trying this. it'll only work at the beginning of the level.

Play the ark level until you get to the part where you have the fight the scarab tank. go into the building in the middle of the area and look for some Grav lift equipment. after you defeat the scarab continue with the level and go up the ramp on your right and go into the building.

there will be a room full of plasma batteries with a bunch of enemies. kill all of the enemies and look around for a ramp that leads downwards to the lower part of the bulding. go to the middle of the ramp and look up for a stack of compartments on the left of your screen. The skull is on the top of those compartments. use your grav lift in the middle of the ramp so that it launches you diagonally towards the top. crouch when you get up there and grab the skull.

another way is to go on co-op mode and bothe of you get grav lift equipment. one of you go down to the bottom of the ramp and deplay the grav lift. then the second person goes down and puts their grav lift on top of the first one. one of you go onto the grav lifts and crouch and grab the skull.

Blind SkullDescription: "Shoot from the hip"

How To Find: When you get to the area where you see the Phantom overhead (one of the marines will point it out) jump over the rocks and keep following the path on the right. When you get to the cliff there will be a rock over of the side. The skull is on the end of the rock.

Catch SkullEffect: all enemies have 2 grenades, throw more grenades

Level: The Storm

Location: From the start, go through until you go outside again. When you go outside look straight across there is a small round building straight out there, the skull is on top. In order to get up there you can either use a warthog as a platform orgrenade-jump. DO NOT destroy the wraith near the door or the skull will disappear.

Cowbell SkullEffect: Explosive force increased (sputnik from H2)

Level: The Ark

Location: First pick up a grav-lift from the small building near where you fight the scarab. Now proceed through the level until you reach the second sloping hallway (stairway), you should see some partitioned risers (platforms) halfway down. The skull is on the top level. Toss the grav-lift on the right side of the hall so it lands on the fourth little green dot from the door. Then run, jump, and use the grav-lift to propel you to the top. You should reach a checkpoint just as you enter the room so it you miss just try again.

Famine SkullMission: The Ark

Effect: "Trust us. Bring a magazine." -- Dropped weapons will have half the ammo compared to normal.

When you first go into the valley to the right after the wrecked phantom, look to your left where you will see a huge boulder. Use a ghost and get to the side of the boulder that is closest to the bridge overhead. It is easy to pilot the ghost up the side of the wall using the thrust. To get the skull, pilot 2 ghosts up the wall to the top of the bridge and stack them one on top of another next to the beam where the skull is placed. Simply jump from the top of the ghosts towards the skull and land on the beam.

Fog SkullMission: Floodgate

Effect: "You'll miss those eyes in the back of your head." -- Your motion sensor disappears.

As you are walking down from the anti-air gun you destroyed in the previous mission, you encounter a ramp (next to a missile launcher). Around this ramp, you hit a checkpoint. At this point, you should also hear a marine yelling, "There! Over There!". Look up and to the right, directly at the roof of the building next to the missile launcher. There is a single flood form (not to be mistaken with the two other flood forms jumping in front of you) which is holding the skull. Kill him before he jumps, and he will drop the skull down to the ground where you can retrieve it. Too early, and the skull will get stuck on the roof though, so just time it carefully.

Grunt Birthday Party skullEffect: Headshots on grunts cause heads to explode with confetti.

IWHBYD SkullMission: The Covenant

Effect: "But the dog beat me over the fence" - Unlocks bonus dialogue throughout the game. For most, this is the last skull, so this gives you the Hayabusa Helmet as well.

To get this, get to the room where you "fight" the Prophet of Truth. Let the Arbiter kill him, turn around, and kill all the Flood here as well; makes it a LOT easier. With all obstacles out of the way, you need to jump through the Halo holograms here in a specific order, listed below:

Note - The sequence starts with 1 being the one closest to the end of the level.

4 6 5 4 5 3 4

When you jump through the final hologram, they all light up in a sequential pattern. The Skull will be at the end waiting for you right before the energy bridge leading to Truth's corpse.

Mythic SkullEffect: Every enemy on the field now has double their normal amount of health.

Where to find: Halo

How to find: As soon as the mission starts walk up the hill in front of you and into the cave. Hug the right side of the cave and after a large boulder you will see a path on your right, just take the short path and it will be at the end.

Thunderstorm SkullMission: The Covenant

Effect: "Field promotions for everyone!" -- Upgrades enemies to their stronger versions.

After you shut down tower 1 and get access to the hornet, fly to tower 2 (the one the arbiter shut down). While walking up the stairs, go to the middle part that connects both and there should be a stair leading up to a platform where the skull is.

Tilt SkullMission: Cortana

Effect: "What was once resistant is now immunity" -- Enemies have different body parts that may be resistance to certain bullet types

When in the circular type room with all the flood look for a small structure piece next to two archways, jump on top if it and up on the rocks to the top left, turn left and jump up again, then do a 180 and jump to the rocks across from you. After that follow the the rock sticking out and leading up on top of of the original circular room, the skull will be in a pile of blood.

Tough Luck SkullEffect: Enemies do saving throws

Where to find: Tsavo Highway

On Tsavo Highway, about halfway through the mission (right after you are forced to walk through a large blue barrier), you will come out of a tunnel on the highway, and see a large pipeline on your left. Drop down in between the two, and run to the wall in front of you. Follow the wall all the way to where it connects with the cliff on your right, and turn to the left. There should be a few ledges--simply crouch jump from ledge to ledge, and the last one should have the "Tough Luck" skull on it.
