Alright. Here's my rule of thumb.
Get the permanent active camo at the first doorway. Grab the blind skull through the wall in the crashed pelican room. Take the rooftops to the skull spawn. Make sure you don't have the other skulls on, they seem to make it harder to spawn. Get the marines started down sniper alley - you seem to get checkpoints from it after you get to the skull minigame. Fight off the waves without dying, and you'll probably pick up a checkpoint here and there. Get to the last wave, make sure the last Elite has a sword. Get a checkpoint. Save and quit. Now boot it up again. Get the skull.
The point of that last checkpoint with the last Elite. If you have the envy skull on later, and go to get it, you'll be visible to the enemies on the rooftops or in the alley, BUT NOT THE ELITE THAT'S THERE. I don't know if that works on the whole wave of Elites, I'm afraid to try it. I fear the ownage risk. Now, if another AI outside the minigame sees you, the guy with the sword will run after you, but never say Demon, never lunge, nothing that shows he knows where you are. He can see where you are kind of... he won't swing the sword until he's halfway up your foot though. It's handy. I'm thinking it has to do with the hex reading active_camo_glitch_on when it loads, so the local AI aren't aware, but the only reason it continues to work is that it's a minigame - the Elites in the alley don't come in, they stay out and watch while invisible and shoot occasionally. It's an odd experience.
Permanent active camo isn't a glitch despite what the hex apparently says. There's no active_camo_glitch_off tag, hence modders didn't find it on their hex searches. So does that mean there's more secrets? Possibly...
And save the profile for that skull only. It's a nice convenience later on. And yeah, I've had two skulls in the spawn room... sometimes Blind counts as the IWHBYD skull and other times I had to pick up the new skull, the IWHBYD skull.That was the most interesting post I've seen in a long time. I've probably made that skull appear 40 or 50 times but I've never noticed AI outside of the fight arena. Heh, that one stunned me (shows how much I know).
I did not understand the last two sentences, though, so can you rephrase so a stupid man can understand?. I'll have to think about all of what you typed some more.
