## Summary

expanded upon and standardized. So, now you'll be looking for three skulls in each of the 13 maps in the campaign for 39 in total. You also unlock three bonus skulls and the campaign remix mode after finding any three skulls in any of the
levels for a total of 42 skulls. On top of that, the locations of the skulls in around, so you can't go off old knowledge either to find some of these find every skull in the campaign, but I first want to tell you how to look for
looking for that advice. The skulls in Campaign Evolved have an audio cue that like an eerie high-pitch sound almost like an evil ghost might make. You can like an evil ghost might make. You can listen to it here.
side, you'll hear it in your right speaker and vice versa. So if you go to under the gameplay section. You're going to want to lower everything that's not that, you'll better be able to hear the skulls in game. That said, if you want
starting with the new prologue bonus missions, well, here we go. should find in boarding action, which is the first of the three new bonus indicator for how to find this skull is just go off where you kill the very
first two hunters in the level. From there, you'll just go down a slope and doors and a bit of a winding path, but eventually you'll find this skull on a walkway. And just a heads up, with the exception of one skull, which we'll get
other skull can be captured on any difficulty. So, for this video, basically, I captured every single skull on easy, but feel free to play the campaign on whatever difficulty you want to capture all but one skull.
Johnny Ammo Seed. This is a new skull for Campaign Evolved. You're going to be in a room filled with sand and there's also going to be a ghost in here, a but you're going to want to clear out everyone and then eventually make your
way up to the second level of this room. And that is where you will find the And that is where you will find the second skull.
Campion Evolved, and this one is near the end of the level. Your objective gravity beam. But before you take that beam, you're going to want to head off to the left side and find this skull in an adjacent room.
not be a Lakers fan, but this is the enemy type you have to hunt three of the map on The Most Dangerous Game in order to grab this first skull. How this works is you're just trying to break
that enemy type shield three times. The first spot's going to be when you get jackals in the trees. It's in an open area pretty early on in the mission. Just take a wide angle here and look out into the distance up into the top right
again, you just want to shoot him until his shields pop. You cannot kill him. So here you're bang bang bang bang bang and then you see that little splash coming up right here and that is how you know the shields popped. And the big thing to
without popping his shields. If he gets away, then you have to quickly reset the get a new checkpoint, then you're going to have to restart the mission because you need to hit that enemy type three times in three specific spots all in one
go in in the mission. As you leave the section where you shot that enemy for the first time, there's two ways you can go. I prefer taking the upper route his beam rifle, which just makes it easier to snipe that enemy when you see
easier to snipe that enemy when you see it here in a couple seconds.
don't think the enemy uh gets aggroed until you shoot him. Maybe if you get close enough, it's proximity based and he'll also start running. But you have a out some of the enemies enemies before hopping down.
see them from up on the top region here. So, you do have to jump down and take them head-on from the straight angle here on the elevated walkway. So, we'll here on the elevated walkway. So, we'll run up.
there he is on the left side. Two shots should do it. His shields have popped. And that's the second time you have hit him and you have one to go, but that will be later on in the level when we get to that one.
So, skipping ahead, you'll fight through the underground facility. You'll free the prisoners. And as you're coming out of the underground facility, the first thing you should see is this little tower here, and that is your indicator
and shoot this enemy one last time. Break his shields. He does not die, but a whole bunch of his friends will jump down and you'll need to fight through all these enemies. And once you've defeated everyone, and if you have the
gameplay effects are the only thing you'll hear, you should start to hear you'll hear, you should start to hear the skull once the last enemy is down.
rifle to clear out the rest of the enemies, you should now hear that skull making a sound, which means all the enemies are down. you've done everything correctly and now all you need to do is take this route and head on up to that
little tower and you will see the skull inside it and that takes care of inside it and that takes care of temperamental.
This is back on that walkway where you shot that one enemy for the second time. You'll see here there's a wraith and that's your indicator that you're in the right area. You can do you can go plant the grenade on the wraith or or not. It
doesn't really matter, but it does clean things up a little bit. Turn around and you're actually going to want to shoot these two objects up above this door and these two objects up above this door and shoot them so they both blow up. Bang.
There's the other canister. Bang. And that unlocks the door and the skull will that unlocks the door and the skull will be inside.
door and you're going to want to go through it. And the skull is up there in the purple fire. You can practice your grenade jumping here if you want to get up that way, but you don't need to do it
the fastest way to got up, but there is another angle I'll show you for how you grenade jump. It's a little tricky here. You do want to crouch down to get into the purple flames and grab the skull. But here is also the other way to get up
But here is also the other way to get up there if you don't want to grenade jump.
mission and the first skull you should find in this level is eye patch which is a legacy skull. You'll come across a suspended walkway but there will be another suspended walkway just a little higher up on the left side. Just go
through the unlocked door and walk down the walkway to get to this skull. in Heavy Burden. This is another legacy skull. You'll be in this giant open
You actually come in on the third level, in here and eventually make your way to the second level and look for this circular platform. You can do a little sprint jump to get
then you'll do another sprint jump to get onto the little teeny spire. And then just make a little jump up and you can grab the skull.
called efficient. This is a new skull. This is a bit of a tricky one because grab it. You'll be on this floating transport and you'll need to reset the power on this thing twice. The second time you get off to reset the power and
get back on, you'll ride for a bit again before needing to sprint jump off the transporter to the left side, run through the enemies, grab the skull in back onto the transporter. And it's basically at the end of this part of the
level as well. In fact, I'm going to let this run just so you can tell how little time left you have riding on the transporter after you grab this skull. part of the mission, so you'll know pretty quickly if you've gone too far
transporter right after you should have grabbed the skull. is a good example of how the devs are trying to play with our old muscle
memory. This skull used to be behind two canisters in this opening room. It is now moved. It is up on the catwalks in the first room where you come out of cryosleep as Master Chief. You do a little sprint jump off a control panel
to the canister, then jump up onto the catwalks to grab it. of Autumn. This is another new skull. You'll come into a room filled with a
the Covenant attack begins. You actually still don't even have a weapon yet. So, you'll come to the near side of the room and jump up to grab the skull on top of one of these empty racks. The third skull on Pillar of Autumn is
skull. Right after receiving Cortana back around and go back onto the bridge the two pilots are seated to find this skull. And this is a big skull to get
you to play in third person as Master Chief, which will help you find other purpose or just to play the game a different way. to say off rip, the developers have broken the unwritten rule of waterfall
longer a skull near the waterfall at the start of the Halo mission. So, shame on found while securing each individual crash site. If you're playing by jump during this first section. So, let me give you a quick tutorial on grenade
you use a plasma grenade or a regular frag grenade, you want to throw the grenade at your feet and then wait a moment and then jump as the grenade explodes. And if you jump at the right time, the grenade will blow you up a
little higher and that will get you to places you couldn't otherwise reach. The crouch while in midair to get even higher up, but you don't need to do the crouching part for this particular grenade jump. Starting from the leftmost
out the enemies and then you'll either need to have a co-op partner to jump off reach this skull. And again, you do not need to crouch after grenade jumping to little tricky as you need to turn away from where you need to jump to. So you
using the wall as a little bit of a backboard. And just so you can see, it's even a little tricky getting onto the lip here because it's at an angle. But once you do get situated on the lip, it's probably better to use a regular
frag grenade rather than the plasma grenade. I do use a plasma grenade to do this. But you could accidentally stick yourself and have a bad day. So it's probably smarter to use a frag grenade. After that grenade jump, just walk a
then you can move on to the next crash site.
back down the hill. You'll pass a waterfall on your left side with no secrets inside it. SMH. And then you can either drive your Warthog into the tunnel on the far side or get out like I will here in order to snag the give and
will here in order to snag the give and take skull, which is another new skull.
enemies and run up a hill to get to the back side of this area. You'll want to find that flare, you'll want to jump up on the rocky formation. Then do a little sprint jump action to get to the other rocky formation. And that is where you
been following this guide means it's the been following this guide means it's the final skull on the Halo mission. skull is where the big old grav lift is, but you don't want to get on the grav
covenant in the in the space. And then you'll go to the back end of the area skull, but you're just going to want to get down on the ledge here. Be careful. Fall gently. And skull is right there. And I actually do not remember if you
can get back up from here. I assume you can, but even if you die, you should can, but even if you die, you should have the skull and be good to go. Endurance Spec is the next skull. And this one, you're going to come into a
the real indicator is you'll see a bunch of Covenant vehicles on the first floor. You're going to come around to the back corner of the room, and this canister will be what you're jumping off of to start things off. This is a hard one.
This is probably the hardest platforming skull in the whole game. You need to very carefully sprint jump to each of these pillars. You can also crouch jump in midair to help you land a little more carefully on each pillar. I don't think
I do crouch jump on this very much, but crouch jumping definitely can help. So, you'll jump across all three to get to this skull. If you do fall, it's not a cleared out all the enemies, you can just drop down like I'll show you here.
And it's just a a quick run back up to the top top of the area, the second many times as you need to to grab this skull.
Reconciliation. But the indicator that you're in the right spot of the level to grab this skull is when you see that Covenant drop ship leaving as you enter. metal butt to the back right corner. And you're going to wait for these doors to
open on the left side here. And you have to wait because the as the enemies come because they will lock and that will mean you can't get to the skull. So, around. And here they come. And just make sure you get through before the
this point. You can shoot the Covenant or not, but the door will close and then you'll be free to chill for a second and grab this skull.
going to be right near the beachside facility where those doors lock on the lower level and they require you to override the security in another spot. You just find this little cave tunnel right adjacent to it. Just go down into
right adjacent to it. Just go down into it and the skull will be right there. against two hunters in this big circular arena. Clear them out and then after
you've cleared them out, you're going to carefully walk up this sloped edge of the area. It can be a little finicky. need to wedge yourself into the little crevice, but just get yourself in there
crevice, but just get yourself in there and then walk up to find the skull.
facility, you'll go down a level and enter a room with several Covenant and two hunters. Defeat them all and then look for a wide open sloped walkway staircase type dealio leading down. You'll carefully look over the edge and
carefully drop off the ledge from slightly further down the slope to land slightly further down the slope to land safely and nab the skull.
substructure in the scorpion tank, you'll enter into an open airspace with a narrow bridge over a chasm. Defeat the numerous Covenant turrets and hunters and assert your dominance with authority.
cross the bridge and go left to the large snow bankank in the corner. You'll get out of the scorpion tank and jump on top of it. Then sprint jump from the tank into a small divot in the ice to find the skull in the al cove. And if
cool. It's fine. That's actually the speedrun strat. Yeah. No, that's true. more time and then grab it the second time.
pushing on towards the control center, you'll enter a valley with three metallic arches to the left of the doors you need to go through to proceed top. you need to go through to proceed top. The furthest arch is the skull.
tells you to commandeer one of the banshees, look off the right side of the bridge and carefully drop down onto the narrow slanted strut below. Tucked underneath the bridge in this tight squeeze is the skull.
tree, head up the slope to the left of the ship. Then jump onto the rocks to and you'll find the skull on the ground nearby.
fire as you enter this underground facility and you come across this first marine who is losing his ever loving mind. And well, you got to put him down mind. And well, you got to put him down to find the next skull.
towards the end of the level, you'll exit back outside and face this neverending swarm of flood enemies. As you approach the large metal structure with the flying drones near it, avoid it and instead head right or left as both
spots lead to the same general area. You'll go past uh that big metal structure into the darkened forest and eventually you'll walk underneath a large collapsed tree. Jump onto the rock by the base of that tree and then
higher rocky ledge at the other end of the log where you'll find the skull.
drones fighting the flood, turn immediately right and go up the slope at immediately right and go up the slope at the top of the steps to find the skull.
right and fight your way through flood Regardless of which path you take, they both reconnect at the far end of the room. From here, you'll go up one of the metal slopes and sprint jump across onto
the eggshaped landing and then onto a narrow ledge where the skull sits. you're going to hop off and you're just going to immediately start sprinting out
to the left. And you'll take this path and wrap around eventually taking a right here down into a little al cove. And then we'll get down here and turn right again. And one more right. And we are here at the next goal.
the Banshee as prompted, but before flying to the walkway above to get to want to fly even higher up to the top of the spire sticking out of the facility the spire sticking out of the facility just in front of the blue beam.
you'll need to carefully, and I and I do mean carefully, get out of the banshee the Banshee to fall back down because you could get a checkpoint that strands and then you'll need to do some serious guess work to get back down like I did
guess work to get back down like I did here.
bridges down as you make your way toward the second pulse generator, you'll reach the base of the valley where there's three metallic arches. Cross directly over the arch ahead of you as you exit the lift. And in the small area between
the flood biomass, you'll find the skull resting on the ground. second generator location, you'll land on this central platform and interact
with the panel in the center of this area to unlock a door leading to an area that is not part of your main mission. You'll fly over to that now unlocked door, which is on the opposite side from the actual objective door. I'm going to
skip ahead to the end of all this fighting and running, but you will fight your way through multiple rooms of floodinfected enemies. And in that final dead end room, you'll find the skull sitting in the center of the room on a
sitting in the center of the room on a pedestal.
has a catch to it. You need to do this skull on heroic or above difficulty. And this is also a speedrun skull. So, you're on a time limit. I'm not actually sure what the overall time limit is. I'll do this in under 3 minutes and get
the skull. So, at least under 3 minutes is the way to get this. It also doesn't seem to matter if you die. Uh assuming you get a checkpoint, we're not going to going to be the one problem. You want to grab this invis or the one that's going
to be at the bottom of the first big drop here because the invis is going to be super important for helping you to avoid enemies as you're running towards this skull. So, you'll drop down and I think I have
routed this out pretty much as perfectly as it can be routed out to avoid most of the enemies. So, really stick to this route as closely as possible. We'll run is better to avoid some of the enemies. We're still holding on to the Avis.
We're not going to pop it yet. Get through another tunnel here.
And right here is where you want to pop your invis cuz this whole area and chaos. So, just pop the invis, try to hug the wall, get through all of this nonsense and all the flood as quickly as possible.
path, your invisa starting to get low, and that's fine because we're actually second. You also want to stay here. Let that rocket go off. Don't run into that rocket. That'll end your run and push you back to a checkpoint. So now the
invis is about to drop and that's fine because we actually want to head over to the this green area. Grab the overshield because this is now the next important thing to have for the final portion here as we go towards the skull. You don't
need to kill all these enemies here for the most part. It's just going to be the enemies up on the graph that really need to go. But you can clear out some guys here. Maybe pick up a sword or another weapon if you really need it. Again, cuz
you are playing on at least heroic difficulty when doing this one. Come up now to the grab shield and enemies will be marked like this. You just need to kill these marked enemies to make sure the grab lift gets activated. So do your
thing. Try to stay alive. Kill what needs to be killed. And as you get sucked up by the grab lift, just hold the grab skull button. Just hold it down because you might not be able to see the skull as you go up here. But it's fine.
As long as you're holding the grab skull button, you should still get the skull as you go by. If you don't get it, quickly try to pause and restart from you'll hit right after landing. And then at that point, you can't go back. You'll
have to restart the mission and try it again. After entering the ship via that same gravity lift, drop down into the first major room with the destroyed wraith. Head into the side passage through the
archway. Jump by some additional junk and another destroyed wraith. And then head up the slope to find the skull in the corner by the large locked doors.
The last skull on the keys mission is Pinata. And it's called Pinñata for a Pinata. And it's called Pinñata for a very obvious reason. Captain Keys died as he lived, which in this case means being manhandled by a Master Chief.
being manhandled by a Master Chief. at the end of the cut scene where Keys at the end of the cut scene where Keys spoilers meets his final end
will come out of the cut scene and immediately meleeing him until he drops the next skull. I see you judging me there, Cortana. Don't Don't even start. Don't Don't you dare.
you'll eventually end up in the cryopod room from the very beginning of the the flood enemies in here, head to the back left corner of the room and jump from the collapsed walkway onto the beam against the back wall where the skull
sits. in the large open room where you must destroy the four cores. It's absolute chaos, but you need to head up to the back right corner on the second level. There you'll find a small ledge with
some debris that you can use to reach the corridor above, but instead of climbing that debris, go to the left of it and carefully drop onto the narrow ledge below. The skull can be found just a little deeper into that area after
a little deeper into that area after dropping down.
end of the mall, you'll start out driving through a winding set of tunnels. There will be little shortcuts from time to time on the right side. The first shortcut tunnel you can go through contains nothing, but the second tunnel
has the skull on the ground right near the halfway point within that tunnel. And if you've been following along with this guide, that means you now have all 39 skulls. And that's a wrap. You're good to go. That's every single skull in
good to go. That's every single skull in Halo Campaign Evolve.
