Halo 3 skulls
just started on Heroic and found a skull, right at the beginning of sierra 117.
do you pick it up as it just stays there :confused: game is paused so quick response would be appreciated as the checkpoints dont let you back lol. |
Pick it up and you will have collected 1 of the skulls (there are 13 to collect)
|
cheers mate, i knew i needed to pick it up but wasn't sure how, hold right bumper :brickwall
|
Theres also 4 hidden gold skulls, collect all 4 and they will give you extra armor in multiplayer mode.
The first gold skull is on the first mission, just where you run to the coastline at the start to meet the enemy, jump up and go as far right as you can onto the rocks at the coast, theres one there. I have all the silver and gold skulls, took me a while though! |
There are 9 hidden gold (which give achievements) and 4 silver, the one at the start on the coast is silver :)
|
spent 20 minutes running around with the skull in my hands wondering whether I needed to carry it to the end of the level.

Once you've completed the game you get to play the campaign levels again, but this time you can play with scoring turned on, and you get to enable the various skulls you've collected so far. You need the skulls to increase your score, they basically make the game harder by doing various things, so the more you enable the more score you get. |
The hardest/silliest one to get is when you meet the Prophet of Truth when he's about to fire Halo.

Most of the gold ones are pretty well hidden - so very sly... got 7 of the 9 so far...

Skulls give a 1.5x multiplier.
I played Sierra 117 lastnight scoring 11907. Difficulty Bonus 1x (Normal mode) Skull Bonus x3 (2 skulls enabled) Subtotal = x4 Time bonus x2.5 (finished in 18mins) Total x10 So it looks like it adds the difficulty + skulls then multiplies that by the time. However, i scored around 4-5k when i finished, so how it works out the x10 i've no idea, because that would mean i scored 1190. :confused: |

It starts quite dark and and you run towards two buildings, if you look up onto the roof of the right building theres an enemy holding the skull, you only have about 20 seconds to snipe him before he runs away! |

do they only appear when you have the scoring mode on?

Bungie.net : Inside Bungie : News This explains it all :thumb: Sorry didnt read your post properly, they are on the game from the start, regardless of mode you play. |
You can go for the skulls in any order but you must be on normal setting or higher and start the level from the beginning - they wont appear if you begin from a checkpoint.
With the terminals, I've heardof a few people being caught out by them, as you have to access all the information on them - basically keep going with it until the screen scrambles and goes red. |
Could be that, a couple i got bored and closed them while they were still displaying the data.
|
Ok it appears that the skull and difficulty multiplier are applied at game level, so the kill is multiplied up real-time and the final total is multiplied by only the time bonus, this will relate more to the score i got above, having scored around 4760 in game and receiving 2.5x time bonus = 11900
