The Ihwybyd skull won't appear on metropolis! I've watch a youtube vid that makes it look.....easy.. Even on lendendary it STILL won't appear. I know I'm in the right place,(From watching the vid) and i know i have 2 pick up the sniper to see it... Is it true that u have 2 get 7 kill and checkpoints for it to appear? If so, does it matter were in the lvl u get them?

Thanks,
Metafora (also my gt)

P.S Anyone know any good online guides for it?

That skull is a PAIN IN THE ARSE.

The first time I tried to get it, it spawned, and on picking it up I was totally unprepared for the outcome and got horribly dicked on.

Every subsequent time I looked at FAQs, watched video guides, and I could not for the life of me get it to spawn again. It seems nobody knows exactly the conditions that have to be fulfilled, just the general gist.

it is a major pain. I haven't gotten it to spawn yet even when I go move to move just like the video. The key to remember is that even if you do everything perfect, there is still only a 1/7 chance of it spawning

You have to kill all the enemies first. It might take a while.

Get the envy skull and use the permanent active camo trick. And then just shortcut across the rooftops at the beginning, take out the sniper and jackals where the pelican comes by to pickup Johnson. Jump down to the bridge, jump up on the other building. Walk the perimeter to the alley, and then walk it to sniper alley to activate that alley. Then charge the skull spawn. And be ready to do it 30 times. But at least you'll have perm camo on your side.

And if you go back later on to get the skull but have envy on... the elites that are there won't see you after envy fades away. Nifty if you're on the last wave with one elite left.

I used to get it to spawn by just playing through the game to where the sniper spawned but then it just stopped working :P

The number of checkpoints doesn't matter. It's completely random in spawning, with a 1 in 7 chance. That doesn't mean that you'll get her to spawn once in 8 tries, but in 10 hopefully you will.

Here, this will do it. It's the simplest, fastest way without nades or worrying about checkpoints. The good thing is you can do it over and over (real fast) and eventually it will work. Also, you don't need any skulls (I use Blind for filming):

GrumpyOSIWHBYDGuide

Also, don't save right after it appears, you'll lose it (in the vid I say you die as a figure of speech). Either revert back or get the next checkpoint after it appears, quit and save, and it will always be there.

Edit: I forgot to add that there is a 1 in 7 chance of the skull spawning (nobody knows why) so that's why you want to run through it over and over.

You did mean Outskirts, right?
