HaloRadar: Guide to Every Skull

Grab all 13 skulls - gold and silver! Our videos show you how

Words: Charlie Barratt, GamesRadar US

You've finished the campaign. You've murdered the multiplayer. But you're nowhere near done. To prove yourself a true Halo fan, one final quest remains.

The skulls. They're back and they're more elusive than ever. Hidden in remote and dangerous locations, these tokens of total ownership are almost impossible to locate without a little help. Which is where we step in. The following pages will make your hunt as simple and straightforward as possible. Just load up the correct mission, watch our corresponding video and - boom - you're done!

Above: You know you want them...

When searching for skulls, start missions from the beginning on Normal or higher difficulty.
To enable a skull's effect, choose Campaign in the main menu and then hit "X" to bring up the Edit Menu.

When i went to the first large area with the ghosts and the purple wraith when i got up there the school was'nt there. I did not destroy the purple wraith. I was playing the level on normal.

This is what you do...whatever you do, don't destroy any of the tanks!!!! otherwise the skull won't be there...not just the purple wraith but leave the anti air tank alone as well. destroy all the ghosts and all other enemies so they are no longer an obstacle. then using a ghost, push a crate to that silo and jump up to the job and it will be there. it's better to have someone playing with you coop style. it does take a while to get this skull but keep at it!

According to information that I found elsewhere on the internet, you have to have beaten the campaign on at least normal difficulty before the catch skull on the storm level will appear.
