Halo 3 Tips & Tricks

  • Hint: Skulls:

    You can only claim/collect the skulls under the Normal, Heroic or Legendary difficulty settings. You must start from the beginning of the mission. You will not be able to see the skulls if you load from a checkpoint. In Co-op mode, as soon as one player picks the skull up, all players will receive the achievement. Not all skulls earn an achievement; only nine of them do so. To use skulls, press X at the lobby screen. This will give you a bonus multiplier for co-op and go towards earning the Guerrilla, Demon, etc. achievements.

  • Grunt Birthday Party skull

    Effect: Headshots cause enemies to explode.

  • Where to find: Crow's Nest

    Right after the first objective, while en route to the barracks, you will fall down onto a pipe. At the end of this pipe, look over the edge to see a small space a few feet below you. You must simply drop over and as quicly as you can, pull back to land under the floor you were just on. After that, the skull will be at the end.

  • Armor Permutations Unlockables

    Body Pieces: Spartan marked with (S) and Elite marked with (E).

  • The 7 Terminals: The Ark: tip 1

    Start the mission and once you enter the first building take a left into another door and now you should be in a curved corridor. On the inside is a Terminal.

  • The 7 Terminals: The Ark: tip 2

    After activating the bridge to let your comrades accross the gap, do a 180 and you should see it. (it does not open until you activate the bridge)

  • The 7 Terminals: The Ark: tip 3

    In the third building after defeating the scarab, kill the group of sleeping covenant, then follow the corridor downwards. Once you reach a door in front that is locked, immediately on the left there's an open door. Go through and walk straight off, then do a 180 to find a secret room. It is in there."

  • The 7 Terminals: The Covenant: Tip 1

    When in the first tower standing on the lift, face the access panel and turn left. Jump over and it's right there.

  • The 7 Terminals: The Covenant: Tip 2

    Land your hornet on the second tower, walk towards the entrance but when you see the locked door, do a 180. Should be right in front of you.

  • The 7 Terminals: The Covenant: Tip 3

    When in the third tower standing on the lift, face the access panel and turn right. Jump over and it's right there."

  • The 7 Terminals: Halo:

    After reaching the end of the first cave, hug the right wall and you will see a building. Jump up onto the walkway and hang a left once inside. It's right there.

  • Sierra 117: Monkeys with teddy bear:

    After you come into contact with the snipers in the woods, follow along the left rock path. You will find a strange family of monkeys holding a teddy bear.

  • Smarter respawning:

    When playing in Co-op under the Legendary difficulty setting, it is best to have one player keep their distance from the enemy at all times. By doing this, if the rest of the players die they will respawn around the player that is farther back, rather than having to restart the checkpoint.

  • grunt "comedian"

    Right before you end the last level, right before you go down the slope with the ramp, on the right side is a rock formation. Get out of the Warthog and go around the corner. There you shall see a grunt talkin smack about the Master Chief.

  • Mods

    If you ever are on Xbox Live and are searching in Matchmaking and there's a a Bungie/Microsoft employee in your pre- game lobby, see if he/ she could teach you how to mod. My friend did this and he showed me the map he and the person from Bungie modded. It was insane! For instance, if you go to Bungie.net, there is a map you can download for free that is called Seven Elephants that is on Sandtrap and obviously has 7 elephants. They're all thrown in around the alley between the gap of the 2 bridges.

  • Easy Kills on narrows(MAN CANNONS only)

    Requirements : Equipmentor A Grenade(Plasma recommended),Shotgun or other good weapons(just in case of miss), Extreme dose of luck. Throw Equipment(Power Drain preferred)\Grenade in man cannon if opponent is coming It should hit him and drop him into the abyss LOL!. If Lucky throw a grav lift in if done right it might push him Straight into the air (don't do if it is a snper it might kill you)

Halo 3 Unlockables

  • Cowbell skull: Effect: 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 ckeckpoint just as you enter the room so it you miss just try again.

  • Thunderstorm skull: Effect: "Field promotions for everyone!" -- Upgrades enemies to their stronger v

    Mission: The Covenant- 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.

  • Catch skull: Effect: "Pull pin. Count to three. Throw." -- Every NPC carries two grenades and throws

    Mission: The Storm- You can get this by performing a grenade jump off a warthog, or grab a ghost and go back to the ramp from which you first came out, using the ghost to push a big square crate back over to the front of the silo pod that the skull is on top of, then use the box as a place to jump from.

  • Fog skull: Effect: "Youll miss those eyes in the back of your head." -- Your motion sensor disappea

    Mission: Floodgate- 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 missle 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.

  • Famine skull: Effect: "Trust us. Bring a magazine." -- Dropped weapons will have very little ammo co

    Mission: The Ark- 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.

  • Tilt skull: Effect: "What was once resistant is now immunity" -- Enemies have different body parts t

    Mission: Cortana- 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.

    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.

  • Blind skull, Description: "Shoot from the hip"- Stage: First stage

    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. Note: This skull has to be Activated before you start a Campaign map.

  • Black eye skull:

    From the start of the "Crow's Nest" mission, without moving anything, you can see a massive pipe above you. Walk up the stairs, then up the next set. Turn to your left and jump up on the shelf unit. From there, jump to the red cross beam then up onto the pipe. From there, just walk to the end. Walk over the Black Eye Skull to claim it. You do not have to pick this skull up, it does it automatically. Its description reads "Bash your way to better health." Your shield will not auto-recharge anymore, and you must kill an enemy with a melee attack.

  • Iron skull:

    After freeing Johnson and killing all the Covenant that come in the Phantoms in the "Sierra 117" mission, walk to the Pelican that arrives to pick you up. Face the cargo bay, but instead of hopping in turn left and follow the path. Once you hit the wall, jump up to your right to eventually reach a walkway. Walk all the way to the end. Take a left, then a right. At the end of this a little bit to the right is a dark corner. Press Up to turn your light on and you should see the skull. If you cannot see it you are probably standing on it. Its description reads "Death carries a heavy price...". Instead of only losing 25 points when you die, you will lose 75.

  • Mythic skull:

    Follow the normal path in the "Halo" mission until you reach a cave. Hug the right wall until it branches off into a small path. At the end of this path is some rubble, and in front is the skull. Its description reads "Coverage under the Covenant health plan." It gives a 3x score multiplier for all kills.
