When you have completed campaign mode and played some multiplayer online you will probably ask yourself what can i do now on Halo 3???
Well, one thing you could do is learn more about the hidden skulls and what they do.
In Halo 3 there are hidden skulls. Nine (9) gold skulls and four (4) silver skulls can be found throughout the game. There are a few reasons you might want to locate the skulls and achievements is one of them. Eitherway you will need to know the following detailed information to help you on your adventures.
After you have found the inidividual skulls they can be activated in campaign mode and will change the game in one way or another. Check out the detailed info below for more information.
Skull Effects and Multipliers Detailed Info
Iron (GOLD SKULL) Multiplier: x3 Effect: If playing co-op and any player dies, everyone restarts from the last checkpoint. In single player, if you die you restart at the beginning of the mission.
Black Eye (GOLD SKULL) Multiplier: x1.5 Effect: Shields only recharge by hitting an enemy with a melee attack.
So, now you know what they do let’s get to the important part. Where are they? Because most of these are kind of hard to find and it is difficult to describe their locations, I have decided to include videos that have been posted on YouTube showing their locations. I have found that this is the best way to do it. Without further adieu, here is the locations of all 13 skulls in Halo 3, in the order you can find them.
Halo 3 Skull Locations
#1 Blind Skull (Silver)
This is on the first level (Sierra 117) after the covenant ship comes down and unloads at the mouth of the river.
#2 Iron Skull (Gold)
This is in the dam area of the first level (Sierra 117). Stay to the right, and follow the platform around.
#3 Black Eye Skull (Gold)
This is the room you start in on the second level (Crow’s Nest). There are two methods, the one below and going to the right of the air duct instead of the left. There’s a box there from which you can reach a beam.

#4 Grunt Birthday Party Skull (Silver)
This is on the second level (Crow’s Nest) where you drop down after fighting the flying bugs in the air duct.

#5 Tough Luck Skull (Gold)
This skull is on the third level (Tsavo Highway). There are a couple of ways to get it, the video is my preferred method.

#6 Catch Skull (Gold)
This skull is on the fourth level (The Storm) after you kill the wraith tanks. An alternate method to the gernade would be to play in co-op and jump from a teammate’s head.

#7 Fog Skull (Gold)
This is on the fifth level (Floodgate). As you come into the city the skull is thrown from the roof to the right.
#8 Famine Skull (Gold)
This one is on the sixth level (The Ark). The path you follow branches off into two sections (one leading to the area where you need to let the tanks across the bridge, and the other leading towards the area where you meet up with the frigate). Take the right path, as you would if you were completing the mission. Alternate method again instead of the gernade, use a teammate.
#9 Cowbell Skull (Silver)
This in the sixth level (The Ark), fairly far in.
#10 Thunderstorm Skull (Gold)
Level seven (The Covenant) has this one.
#11 Tilt Skull (Gold)
This is on the eigth level (Cortana), in the room where Cortana says that she likes to play games.

#12 Mythic Skull (Gold)
This is at the beginning of the final level, level nine (Halo).
#13 IWHBYD Skull (Silver) (I Would Have Been Your Daddy)
This video has great directions on it that clearly explain the procedure for getting the skull.
Good luck on finding those skulls everyone!
