Halo 3 Skull

Interesting changes to the game will make you work a little harder to complete your mission. The creators have made it a little tougher to find the Halo 3 Skulls and you will have to get to know them and how they will affect you and the enemy on your own as no information box will appear when you pick them up this time. There are 13 skulls in the Halo 3 for xbox game, nine gold and four silver. The gold skulls, when activated, will grant you an achievement and add a multiplier to help in your scoring. The silver doesn't help in the achievement end but are still as equally dangerous to you and your enemy's welfare.

It appears that the gold skulls are more of a help to your enemies than to you and your comrades. The Mythic skull, when in force, will double the strength of their health and shields. The Thunderstorm skull is equally as hazardous as your enemy receives a rank promotion and becomes much stronger. You will find that if you discover the Fog skull and activate it, you lose the function of your motion sensor. Be ready for a quick game of dodge ball if you initialize the Catch skull as the invaders will be throwing more grenades at a faster rate right at you. Then again, they will be doing the dodging and weaving if you use the Tough Luck skull but they have the advantage of avoiding your grenades much more easily. When you bring the Black Eye skull into play and happen to lose your energy shield, the only way to regain it is to melee attack the enemy.

Be aware that if you recover enemy weapons and the Famine skull is functional, you will find there is less ammunition than you were expecting. In Halo 3 for xbox, the Tilt skull, gives the enemy additional protection as their armor becomes much more resilient to attack. Set in motion the Iron skull and be ready to start the mission all over again if you die in single mode, and if playing co-op, the whole team would restart at the last checkpoint.

Beware of the powers of the silver Halo 3 Skulls as they can do as much damage as the gold ones. If you activate the Blind skull, you will lose your entire HUD, and even worse, lose your shooting arm at the same time. The Cowbell skull makes explosions on the battlefield bigger and more devastating. A couple of perks with the Grunt Birthday Party skull and the I Would Have Been Your Daddy skull may make you feel better. If you make a head shot at a grunt, its head will explode in an array of colorful confetti and you will hear the cheering of children's voices. The Daddy skull, if triggered, will add special hidden dialogue to your campaign against the enemy, and you might even pick up on some of your opponent's strategies.

Use your training skills to locate the concealed Halo 3 Skulls as some are easier to find than others and could be off the beaten track. You will have to adjust your game play and military tactics to conquer your enemies and be successful if any of the skulls are set in motion. Good luck and game on!
