I got my 360 last night :D
So I'm a major 360 n00b :o

Can someone explain to me about the Skulls in Halo3 please?
I'm gussing you collect them for bonus achievment points, but I've also read that you can use them as point multipliers, but you can only carry/use 2 or 3 at a time :confused: So....are they carried as equipment? If so I presume they count on your inventory count; therefore you cant carry anything else.
I'm just confused by the whole thing, cos there are so many skulls :confused:
 
When you activate a skull before the mission starts with the meta point game turned on all that happens is what ever effect the skull has will remain passive (eg 2x enemy health) but you will also gain increased meta points from killing the enemy. There is nothing else physical about the skulls apart from collecting them in campaign, so when activated you dont need to bother with them anymore in the mission.
 
You just turn them on or off through the campaign settings screen. You don't carry them or anything, they're just an on/off toggle for campaign scoring mode.
 
You find them in game, pick them up and hold it for a couple of seconds then just drop it. Depending on the kind of skull you might get an achievement (only gold ones give achievements) There are 9 gold and 4 silver, making 13 total.

Skulls are used to increase the difficulty, which are switched on through a settings menu before you begin the game.

Oh one more thing, can you go back (replay level) to collect them?

once you get them you can just quit too, although one of the silver ones with where you have to go through the rings on the Halo level requires you to end the level.

I found the Famine skull the most tricky to get, it very hard to find more grenades close by if you mess up the grenade jump.

Just get a portable shield power weapon and stand on that to reach. It's the easiest skull I got!

they are occasionally fun to hang to and beat enemys to death with them lol :)

*i'm not wasting my ammo on you, instead i'm going to bludgen you to death with this moldy skull i just found over here*
 
I'm having trouble getting the third silver skull. I have a grav lift from by the scarab, i've got to the place where it is (on the slope down, in side the Ark) but i can't get into the small area where the skull is.
Which one of those 4 areas is it in? I've got into the lower one and it's not there.
Also, do you have to start from beginning of the levels or will a check point do?

Thanks.
