Halo 2 skulls
In each level of Halo 2 there is a special skull
hidden when you play on Legendary (with the exception of the Blind Skull). Each skull gives you special powers
like unlimited ammo or other cool stuff

Right after you 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 grenade 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.
Anger Skull

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 Anger skull in a small
grav-lift.
Assassins Skull
Difficulty: Legendary
Level: Regret
Word: Assassins
Effect: All enemies in game are permanently cloaked rendering allies useless
since the AI cannot see them.
Status: Confirmed
Just after you get off the gondola, and go in the structure, there is a big
block of stone, jump on that an you can get on a ledge that leads out to the
Covenant turrets, facing back towards the structure, jump up another level
around the right side of the structure, It is pretty straight lined from here.
You should find the Skull on a ledge when you make it around. No visible change
to the HUD, BUT all enemies become invisible.
Envy skull
Difficulty: Legendary
Level: Delta Halo
Word: Envy
Effect: Cloak instead of Flashlight, 5 second cloak with 10 second recharge
Status: Confirmed
When you first come out of the big building and see the turret and 5/6 shield up
on the wall there is a wall over to the left hand side with the two grunt
turtets on it, the big block and door are at the far end of that wall... In the
room that the block is *ahem* blocking there are two dead grunts and two plasma
swords... There's a door being blocked by a rock. Jump on the rock. Then jump on
the ledge that's located above the blocked doorway. Turn left and jump up on
another ledge. Grenade jump up to where you'll find Two Red Elites - That become
cloaked, surrounding a skull. Pick it up, and it reads Envy. For the ENVY skull,
you must play it on Legendary, it makes it so the when you press the white
button, you cloak. This cloaking only lasts a few seconds (just like the
Arbiter's armor) and can be used on any level and any difficulty after you get
it.
Grunt B-Day Skull
Difficulty: Legendary
Level: The Arbiter
Word: Grunt Birthday Party
Effect: Shoot enemy in the head and they will explode
Status: Confirmed
The very first time you get a banshee, fly down, below you is a large beamlike
structure (not to be confused with the one directly below you that turns and
goes vertical) running from the arm of the station you just came out of to one
exactly like it on the side opposite. Below this structure are 3 cylinders
hanging down, with cylinders of light shooting out of the bottom that look like
they are what keeps the station floating. If my explanation is too vague, they
are the absolute lowest parts of the station. Now go to the middle engine and
land on the top part of it. This and the other engines connect to the large
structure mentioned earlier. The tops of the engines come up to meet the
structure at an angle, where this angle is under the connecting structure and
coming up to meet it, there is a place to walk (like being under a bridge).
Under one side you will see the six grunts with the skull in the middle.
Blind Skull
Difficulty: Any
Level: Outskirts
Word: Blind
Effect: No HUD or weapons on screen
Status: Confirmed
At the beginning of Outskirts jump on top of the light on top of the door with a
crouch jump, then jump to the left platform. Turn to your left and go down the
long dark corridor and pick up the skull; it will say blind and your screen will
flash black for a while. In this mode you can not see your weapon, body,
shields, ammo, or radar.
Thunderstorm Skull
Difficulty: Legendary
Level: Cairo Station
Word: Thunderstorm
Effect: All enemies are Special Ops (Grunts and Elites shield's are stronger,
Grunts are insanely brave, and Elites pull out Swords when they get really mad)
Status: Confirmed
Make your way to the "Priority Shift" checkpoint. Progress until the
room with mounted plasma turrets, right after the armory with the Elites. Clear
out this room, and get on the raised area with the plasma turret that is on the
side of the wall where the window curves. Look for two parallel beams on the
ledge above. Climb up the supports for these beams and crouch jump up onto the
upper ledge, then onto the beams themselves. Walk in the direction you came from
and there will be a small ledge sticking out to the left, jump on it and pick up
the Thunderstorm Skull underneath the trash container.
Infinite Skull
Difficulty: Legendary
Level: Quarantine Zone
Word: Infinite
Effect: Infinite energy sword and leap kill from far away
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 grenade jump to the next
part and from there u can go anywhere and its on the opposite side of the level.
Sputnik Skull
Difficulty: Legendary
Level: Quarantine Zone
Word: Sputnik
Effect: Does not let you board friends tanks/wraith 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: The Great Journey
Word: Black eye
Effect: Shield will not regenerate
When you get a banshee and defend the scarab to the place that he blows up the
door. But fly above it and onto a railing, don't go too far on it or it will
send the banshee flying, now jump out. You should be on the railing which if you
look up is aiming towards the middle of the big facility. now go down a rail and
head onto the spherical structure part and head to the pillar opposite of the one
you were on, you can just walk on up and it is there.
Famine Skull
Difficulty: Legendary
Level: The Oracle
Word: Famine
Effect: All guns picked up have of half of their original ammo.
When you get off the big elevator (which has flood dropping onto it from the
alcoves above repeatedly) go through the door to reach a corridor. There will be
lots of dead flood corpses and weapons. If any Elites are still alive and with
you one will say 'We should have brought weapons to burn these bodies, each one
is a vessel for the flood'. In the next room don't drop down yet (heretic elites
are fighting flood) look straight across to the other walkway, the skull is up
there all the way to the left with a few infection forms and a sword. You can
jump off of a crate or grenade jump. Usually after the fight that happens in
this room stuff is blown all over the place and there's plenty of things to give
you extra height.
