Collecting each Gold Skull unlocks an achievement for everyone playing in that game. There are 9 Gold Skulls in total and all of them are below



Iron Skull - Sierra 117
At the end of the level. Stand facing the pelican that arrives (no, don't get on it). Turn 90 degrees left and jump onto the large ledge. Walk all the way down until you see another (thinner) ledge on the building in front of you. Jump onto it and follow it all the way to the end where the skull is sitting in the shadows.

Black Eye Skull - Crow's Nest
At the start there is a massive pipe above you with the skull on top. Walk up the two small stairs and on the left there's some shelves you can jump on to. Jump up to the metal bars and then onto the pipe. Continue to the end and the skull just sitting there, you don't have to use RB to pick this one up.

Tough Luck Skull - Tsavo Highway
This skull is located after you go through the shield that blocks the road. (After you hear the guy on the radio request help). You'll exit onto a bridge with a large pipe on your left. Climb up one of the yellow ladders and turn right. Continue down and jump over the yellow guard thing that blocks your way. Immediately turn left and jump all the way down on the grey support below. Walk down the support and look left, you'll see a ledge coming out of the cliff. On the ledge is the Skull.

Catch Skull - The Storm
From the start continue through the level until you first get outside. Grab a vehicle and kill the enemies (there are wraiths about). Then go to the top right corner on the plains where there is some sort of small silo tower. The Skull is sitting on top. To get to the skull: Grenade jump up, or if that doesn’t get you high enough park a vehicle by it and use that for extra lift. (To grenade jump first face where you want to go, then throw a grenade just in front of your feet, then run and jump towards your desired location. The explosion beneath will give you extra lift and hopefully not kill you! XD)

Fog Skull - Floodgate
At the very start of the level as you walk upto the stairs leading into the town (the marines will start talking) look straight up and right to the first building on your right (past the missile turret) A single flood will appear and then jump across, and out, the map. Shoot him before he jumps and the skull will fly down to the ground. However if you shoot him too early the skull will land on the roof and you will have to try again. Do not mistake him for the two flood that jump onto the roof of the building in directly ahead.

Famine Skull - The Ark
This skull is located after you get the mongoose and drive over some small cliffs. Then you have a choice, straight on or turn right. (Either way you have to go down the right path later.) Continue down the path and defeat the ghosts that attack you, under a big "metal cover thing". Then, after coming out from under the big "metal cover thing", you have to turn right to go up a path leading to some enemies and a small cave/tunnel. Instead stop on the path, and look right to see a bolder jutting out of the rock. Hop on the top of the bolder and up onto the rock. Then jump over onto the top of the big "metal cover thing" (mentioned earlier). Turn left and walk up to the last support that juts out the Skull is at the end of it. This next bit can be a bit tricky. Using a grenade, grenade jump forwards and onto the support. Pick up the Skull. (To grenade jump first face where you want to go, then throw a grenade just in front of your feet, then run and jump towards your desired location. The explosion beneath will give you extra lift and hopefully not kill you! XD)

Thunderstorm Skull - The Covenant
This skull is located on the second tower so, after shutting down the first tower, grab the hornet and fly over to tower 2. Once you land, head up the staircases as if you were going to the entrance, but just before look towards the centre to see the dividing staircase that leads to a platform. Walk to the end, the skull is sitting on the ground.

Tilt Skull - Cortana
Continue through the level until you drop down an open (fleshy) hole into a small room with an open door and an energy sword beside a dead elite to the right. In the next room is a circular floor. Walk straight in (kill the flood first) to the middle of the platform and turn left 90 degrees. You should see two small ramps leading downwards. Hop on to the divider of the ramps and up onto the "mushroom like" platform coming out of the wall to your left. (Cortana will say some weird stuff about playing games) Then jump again onto the next platform just above you. Turn around 180 and look up, jump to the next platform and run across the fleshy pipe onto, a bigger, purple platform. Sitting in the centre, in a puddle of bones and fluid is the skull.

Mythic Skull - Halo
This skull is at the beginning of the level. Head into the cave in front of you, straight away keep to the right and there is a small path that leads off to some rocks, the skull is sitting in front of them.

are there skulls that need to be found on single player as well? or are all skulls on multiplayer and singleplayer?

[jerrythegreat]

I thought the skulls were only Single PLayer/Co-op!?

[Snackskronik]

you can find the GOLD skulls on single or co-op, if u get skull on co-op achievment will unlock for everyone.
RUMOR also has it that difficulty HAS TO BE ON HEROIC OR LEGENDARY for SKULLS TO UNLOCK.
also heard something about there bein some SILVER SKULLS too. but thoughs don't count for achievments.

ok so has anyone figured out how to do this yet? that video really is of no help because it doesn't exactly have any directions and none of the skulls on my screen can be clicked like that.

[verytallmidget (Mod)]
