Maybe the skull in your campaign kills is the Invisible Elite?
I killed him once and got the datapad he dropped. So that could explain the 1 skull kill I have.

But it wouldn't explain how people got killed by it. Because doesn't the Invisible Elite just run away from you? Even after shooting it, it doesn't return fire. Just runs.


I think you may be on to something. I just killed him for the first time last night and now I also have one kill with a skull.


I've killed that invis elite before but havn't got any skull kills for it. If my profiles glitched, perhaps there's more of these elites ingame? I remember killing a smiliar one yesterday on Nightfall. Hes at the first structure area on the left side sometimes not in invis

I am looking through the theatre film of that game when he was killed twice by it - so far the only thing that killed him twice was a suicide grunt

I found a BoB in Winter Contingency and killed with the truck.

New around here and lurkerin this thread. What is a bob? :D Kidding, I've backread.

I have a theory:

Can't find the source post, but on the legendary momentary someone mentions the eagle landing on you. But, it's phrased, "Did you GET the eagle to land on you?" (emphasis added).

It makes it sound like it's something that you have to make happen, not just play through on a specific difficulty.

So, I started thinking, do they ever refer to anything as an "eagle", like a bird, enemy, ship, etc.? Could be a stretch, or could be something.

A lot of levels are like this. Yes some are autopilot mainly the ones your not meant to hijack

Destroy the 2 that attack you on checkpoint bravo on winter contingency and you'll see what I mean.

Saves having 2 AI on screen at once

Yeah, they wouldn't make them so easy to hijack if you weren't supposed to. And Jun even says, "Why don't we get some of our own" or something like that. Implying that you should hijack one.

Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names. (quoted from J.F.K)

So uh me and my friends right now are on the mission with Emile... did you guys know you can drive an 18wheeler and small moving truck? Because we did the ramp jump with the 18wheeler.

Currently Myself (Woaah Kimosabi), Fromatic and bjb yo are running through The Pillar of Autumn mission, we're currently exploring the area around and just past the bridge. So far we've been hearing chimes in random locations

First location of Chime:
Underneath the bridge on the far side, there is a rock, walk up to it. On your way there the music will cut out and the chime is noticeably present.

Second location:
Cliff side rocks pre-jump. As you come out of the caves on the left side before the jump we have heard faint chimes here.

Third location:
The gate after the jump. After the enemies are cleared past the jump you can choose to go left up the hill to continue the mission, or right towards a gate that is blocked off, chimes were heard at the base of the gate.

Bump Bump This thread is great. I just got done reading the whole post and I love this secret stuff. I am heading home to put in my halo now. All this reading makes me want to find secrets. If anyone wants to team up in campaign send me a F/R.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Maybe the whole skull thing is just an easter egg kill, like killing someone in the reach racer and getting killed yourself by a BoB

Hell, we've been able to get a Forklift, a Small Personal Truck and almost a Wraith on the roof of this mission to try and get to a certain area. Wooaaah was able to get there without the vehicles but we were stopped by an invisible wall. We were trying to get to the area above, the abandoned factory but with no luck so far.

There are other doors that unlock besides those ones. We should keep exploring and then explore new Alexandria.


Also we need a comprised list of the messages of the datapads and the backwards audio.

For the one thats going around.

Corruption Contained
Lineage Confirmed
Breach Identified
Role Confirmed
Protocols Reinstated
Bridge Identified
Purge Initiated
Role Confirmed
Corrupution Contained
Welcome "cyah?" can't tell
And repeats more of the above lines

This is from #10

There also may be something in the datapad images a code of some sorts.

We also need to re-read Dr. Hasley's journal and keep in my the number 7 and anything around that like, reading every seventh word in the entire journal. Look for any sort of numbers or mentions of items or things or places from certain missions, from there we should go to those said locations and look for things.

I believe he either says "Welcome child" or "Welcome sire."

Are you going to play with Boo again?

Beat.

You son of a -blam!-.

So here's my research into the skull weapon. Me and my roommate found that he got killed by a skull on Lone Wolf. So we went back into that level, played it twice, and he and I both got killed by the skull at separate points. We've looked through the videos several times and can't figure out what caused any deaths that would give us the skull. It seemed like 3 plasma rifle kills and a melee, but nothing specific about any of those.

He then played it again alone, survived for like 7 minutes, with no skull kill.

From what I've gathered, its not from killing bobs, getting kills by bobs, dying last on the mission (or I would have more), or dying NOT last on the mission (or my OTHER roommate would also have it ). It's something more subtle than that.

If you're following this thread, check your last level stats and see if it's happened to you. This is worthy of investigation,

I'm torn between saying, you give bungie too much credit, and such.... then again I normally miss codes like this. I have the journal and will be thumbing through it.... though I'm tempted to say that bungie wouldn't make a puzzle that has the answer in limited / legendary editions making it impossible for people who did not order these to figure it out. Is there any record of this for past halo games?

Ok guys I am 99% sure I know what the skull in campaign weapons means. A co-op partner and I just redid the first level and chased after the camoed Elite. I got the kill. Right after that I checked my stats and I now have two skull kills. I had only one before the mission. The skull must have something to do with the camo Elite.

  • 09.21.2010 6:52 PM PDT

that is only one of the skull kills - question is why on the eighth level (confirmed two deaths) and lots of confirmation of skull deaths on lonewolf

Im starting to think these red specops camo elites are similiar to bob cept without the medal. Maybe skull means whacked on the head or whacking someone on the head?

Sorry i forgot to mention...I already had one. This was the second time I killed the camo Elite.

  • 09.21.2010 7:21 PM PDT

Everyone has their secrets. The journal has many. By the way, being killed by a skull (IMO) is actually missing the chance to kill a bob. Killing (or hurting) a bob gives you a skull.

The skull description = Everyone has their secrets. AKA kill/be killed by an enemy with secrets... I think we should check out Lone Wolf again...
