So, by now we're betting that most of our readers have finished most, if not all, of the Halo 3 campaign. From here there are several natural progressions. Maybe you'll start fiddling around with the saved film feature, taking screenshots of your most glorious moments. Perhaps you'll delve headlong into multiplayer, owning n00bs and taking names. Then again, you might try your hand at creating the perfect maps and game types in Forge. But, if you're like us, part of your post-campaign regimen will include the search for skulls. For example, we just took an ill-advised blogging break to grab the elusive IWHBYD skull with a Joystiq buddy. The fever even seems to have gripped the folks at Penny Arcade, as you can see from the image at right.We'll admit it, we're using guides, guides, guides. Off the internet of course -- we're not going to do something silly like pay for one. How goes your hunt for the skulls? Are you employing the mass-intelligence of the internet or are you going it solo, trusting your killer instincts to uncover them? Dare we ask if there's anyone out there with all of them?

I got all of them in one long run. Most of them were just stupid difficult jumping puzzles, but I guess it was worth it. And I'll be damned if I don't loves me some confetti headshots.

I've been going along without guides. Granted, I've only played for a few hours due to a terrible work schedule, but I found two on the 2nd level that I didn't think were hidden much at all.

grunt birthday party wins hands down, just because of the little kids that yell "YAY!" everytime you headshot a grunt.
And thats the only way I take down grunts.

I've beat it on legendary, got all the skulls, accessed all the terminals, hooray halo 3! I have to admit, despite the sub-par graphics, the game is quite fun and addictive - once you get past all the crap childish quiters on xbox live.

the cowbell skull is evil. i played all the way through the level (like 30 minutes) to get it, then discovered i forgot to get a grave lift... but there was no way back to get it.
grunt party is my fave, it's really the only fun skull, even though i like the catch skull, cause not only do they throw more grendades, they drop more too, so you get a good supply for every battle.

I have most of the skulls. I think I have 3-4 left to get. I tried to get the IWHBYD skull last night, but I think I did something wrong because after vanquishing the flood, I did not get the notes as I jumped through the rings. I will be trying again tonight.

Found a few of them on my own, but some of the skulls I got help from GameFAQs and for the IWHBYD skull it was halo3planet.

Hunt for what? Skulls? Oh yeah, I remember that. Sorry, I'm just too busy cherishing my new Katana armor and Security helmet.

I found about 6 of um on my own then decided to look up the rest online and co-op it with a friend. Hint: using the double jump off of a partner's head is INVALUABLE in getting these damn things... makes life soooo much easier for a lot of them. I think a lot of people have them all too, because the number of players I'm seeing online with the samurai armor is growing tremendously (so much so that I actually reverted back to my old permutations just to be different).

I got them all the other night. Not necessarily for the armor or achievements, but just so I would have all the options for the campaign play.
Ok, maybe it was for the achievements a little also. :) Now for the 2 or 3 more terminals that are left..

i got them all as well. did it one long run with a buddy. then i had to do it 3 more times to help my other friends get them. it is actually kind of fun helping the others get them. it's kind of like a treasure hunt and i am the only person with the map! lol
