I beleive you will know you are in the right area when cortana says "there pouring out of the center building". Anyway that area has Plasma turrets along its borders. A little bit after the left side turret you will see the outline of a door in a wall, but the door has a solid rock slab in it and a rock in front of it. Jump on the rock then jump to the ledge above the door then jump on the ledge to the left. Now jump onto the building with the sealed door using grenades. Atop the building you will find two dancing elites and the "Envy Skull". Pick up the envy skull and you will be able to use Active Camoflage like the Arbiter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grunt Birthday Skull Difficulty: Legendary Level: The Arbiter Word: Grunt Birthday Party Effect: Shoot enemy in the head and they will explode Status: Confirmed Grunts Birthday Party Mode: On the level "Arbiter", on Legendary Dufficulty, Progress normally untill you reach the banshees. As soon as you are in one fly straight down to the bottom of the station. You will see 3 massive cylindrical thrusters. Fly down to the middle one and circle the upper portion of the cylinder till you see some grunts dancing in a circle. The grunts are in an area where the cylinder connects to the horizontal support beam so they are somewhat hidden under the support. Once found land near the grunts and pick up the GBP Skull. From now on whenever you shoot anyone in the head (Dead or Alive) with a projectile weapon (hand gun, BR, SR) they will explode like a Plasma grenade, damaging all around them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thunderstorm Skull Difficulty: Legendary Level: Cairo Station Word: Thunderstorm Effect: Covenant vehicles are more resistant/ All elite forms take their highest level..??? Not too sure on this one. Status: Confirmed Thunder mode: After you take out the second room of covenant boarding the ship, the game says "Priority Shift". Shortly after this you will go to the armory where you will have to take out a couple of Elites. The next room is "Commons B.01" ( a large room with trees and a window at the end on the second floor that has a plasma turret. The skull is on the highest ledge behind you, above the doorway where you enter this room. Take out all the baddies and proceed to the window with the turret. jump to the left onto the ledge from the window. you will notice several diagonal supports that lead up to two thin rails that run the length of the room. Make a well timed jump/duck from one of the diagonal beams to the rails. Follow the rails all the way to the other end of the room and you will see a ledge on the left with a trashcan. In between the trashcan and the wall is another cigar! Knock over the trashcan to reveal the "Thunderstorm" skull. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Angry Skull Difficulty: Legendary Level: Gravemind Word: Angry Effect: It seems it makes the enemies more aggressive and gives them a faster rate of fire. Status: Confirmed Fight all the way through the Covenant city until you reach the outdoors. As soon as you are outside, stick to the right-hand side and walk along the wall. You should see a Covenant wall thingy with a red rail on it. Jump up to it (crouch jump helps) and at the end there is the Angry skull in a small grav-lift. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Catch Skull Difficulty: Legendary Level: Metropolis Word: Catch Effect: ?????? Status: Confirmed Right after u get out of the sewers(Tunnel), there is a big area and 2 ghosts, kill every thing first, then go to the middle of it where u see a arc that leads up onto a building, throw a nade down and jump by it to get enough height to start climbing it. when you get to the top take a left and hug the wall around the structure and the skull will be there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Infinite Skull Difficulty: Legendary Level: Quarantine Zone Word: Infinite Effect: Infinite energy sword and leap kill from far away Status: Unconfirmed Get the tank and there are holes in the level along the walls and take a tank to a certin one (not sure if it will work with others) but the one i used had a cliff right above it and i backed the tank against it and up the hill backwards and got out and got on it and jumped up then had to granade jump to the next part and from there u can go anywhere and its on the opposite side of the level. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Famine Skull Difficulty: Legendary Level: The Oracle Word: Famine Effect: all preset human weapons that are picked up start at half ammo, like the ones that fall from the sky in those pods.

Need more specifics. Status: Confirmed >From the start of the level, look to your left for an elite. To the left of the elite there is a tunnel. Head into the tunnel and go straight until you reach a cliff. Now turn left and follow the cliff till you reach a rock wall. To the right of the wall and the cliff is a narrow passage, skull is at the end of that passage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Black Eye Skull Difficulty: Legendary Level: Great Journey Word: Black Eye Effect: As we saw in the video , it appears to keep your shields from recharging. Ouch. Status: Confirmed How to get it? We dont know! (we saw it in some video) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unnamed Skull Difficulty: Legendary Level: Armory Word: The skull does not display any text when picked up Effect: Need more details. Uncertain at this point. Status: Confirmed Method: (provided by flechette) This skull is just as easy to get as Sputnik or Blind, but it takes a good 6 minutes to get simply because you have to wait so long to get it. Start the level on Legendary, and do what the armorer tells you to do (looking, charging shields). When the Sarge comes up in the elevator, you have to wait for him to say 'Would it help if I said please?' Waiting for him to say this takes about 5 minutes. Once he says it, get in the elevator and follow him into the monorail. Face the inside of the building, and hold X while you pass by the skull and you'll pick it up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ghost Skull Difficulty: Legendary Level: Uprising Word: Ghost Effect: Need more details. Uncertain at this point. Status: Confirmed Method: (Ok, this is NOT for anyone who hates legendary. This level can be a HUGE pain to get through. The skull is near the very end of the level. When you get to the cache of weapons that are stockpiled in one room right before the last cave, you have to grenade jump up onto the rafters in the last corridor. It can probably be done without a ghost, but it's much easier to just jack a ghost and use that to blast off of instead of doing it from the floor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mythic skull Difficulty: Legendary Level: Sacred Icon Word: Mythic Effect: Need more info to be sure. Status: Confirmed There is a semi outdoor area which has the same type of area right next to it. There is a large sentinal in front of each one. Go past this area and down the piston and you'll be in a vary dark and dank flood infested area. There's a stack of 6 or 7 boxs as you enter the room, use them to jump up to the right ledge and it's floating above a dead Human flood in a vent. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
