How many people actually got the "I would have been your daddy" skull in halo 2 other than me? :D If you did post your gamer tag

A lot of older players have gotten that skull. For new people to H2, probably not many because they don't know about the 1 in 7 chance and give up too easily. Why post a GT?

I got it to spawn, but it never transported me to the Elite fight. I don't think I ever triggered it correctly. I might give it a go again sometime.

What? You picked it up and what happened? I've never heard of it not transporting.

I pick it up, and it just acts like an Oddball. No white flash, no transportation to the floor with a fight with Elites, no plasma pistol equipped. Nothing.

I raged many times after I thought I did everything correctly. I followed the instructions in Halo 2: The Truth Unlimited Collector's Edition to the letter, and even the DVD says that you might not succeed in getting the skull to activate 1 in 7 times, although it never worked properly for me (an excellent DVD by the way, absolutely excellent, I thoroughly recommend it).

Very strange indeed. If it happens again maybe take it over to the Blind activation zone and see if it activates then. It's a major glitch.

I've tried my ass of to get that skull and drop it real fast without it activating so I could get it out of the activation zone. I wanted to take it to the end of the level because nobody has been able to do that.

All it took was a stew of whoopass.

I was close to getting it. I got to probably where you have to fight the 4th out of 7 elite groups. Maybe the third. Darn that assassin skull works wonders!
;D

Finished the Fight!

But what does the skull do, other than triggering that Elite fight?

  • 06.23.2010 7:18 AM PDT

I did, but I used the invisibility glitch.

Still trying to make a profile with the game saved right before, or during, the elite fight.

It changes some dialog in the game

This skull ONLY ACTIVATES IF YOU ARE PLAYING LEGENDARY and it only activates when you defeat the silver elites in the arena battle after picking it up. IWHBYD is the hardest skull for 2 reasons, it is hard to get it spawned as it is random in when it spawns and it does not activate until you have gone through the meat grinder that is the "arena battle", defeating 7 waves of silver elites, spawns of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 elites in each successive wave. Only after that battle, on legendary, will the skull affect the dialogue. It is a stone -blam!- to get it, and it is worth every ounce of effort. I had a long post a few years back but I could not find it in my archived posts. I have alot of tips, should you need them.

Yeah, womyfts will give you the best advice for beating the Elites legit. I never did, I cheated and used infinite cammo or I left the skull and went out and gathered Marines and Hogs to bring back to do the battle. 4 Hogs and 8 marines (3 with snipers) did the trick.
