Halo 3 Skulls - Guide for Halo 3

 Halo 3  Skulls

Okay this is a list of where to get the skulls. i do not know the name of all 
the skulls. but I know where they are. By collecting skulls you may also get 
the harybusa spartan armor. Skulls only appear on normal-legendary. You can see 
your skulls hitting X at the campaign lobby. To activate press A. Skulls can be 
found on two Player. You get a ten gamer point achievement for each skull 
found. In all 120 points. The IWHBD skull does not have an achievement. You 
must also start from the beginning of each level for the skull to save.

cliff all the way to the right. The skull is at the end of the cliff.
