IWHBYD Pathway revealed?
Ok, i think I know how to get it, or at least start us off in the right direction, but its extremely complicated:
Ok, at the very beginning of "The covenant", run past the enemies and aim your spartan laser at the anti-air wraith tank. Shot it dead so that the Hornet that spawns flys around in a large circle. Proceed to kill the enemies around you.
Next, when all the enemies are dead, equip yourself with two plasma pistols. Here's where it gets hard. You must time your shot correctly so that the hornet falls closest to the canyon wall. I was able to do it once. On the second try now, very difficult.
When your charged shot hits the hornet, the hornet should power down and begin decending. continue firing charged shots at it so that it does not repower.
When it hits the ground (it needs to hit the ground as if it were landing), jump onto its roof. If you do not do this, then the hornet will flip itself and you will die. You cannot enter the cockpit, you must be on the roof.
Now, the hornet should fly upwards if you shot it at the right spot. It will fly above the canyon wall which you shoudl now jump on. Upon jumping on the canyon wall go right. This is as far as I got. I went left which turned out to be the wrong way to go, causing me to do it again!
You cannot shoot the driver out of the cockpit, and the hornet ALWAYS spawns. There is never a time when it does not. I am currently doing it on normal difficulty.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheWiseDark You know, on the very last level while I was driving I accidentally fell down at a certain spot but it was strange, I can't remember exactly why but I didn't die in the fall, something else ended up killing me. I just didn't think anything of it, I was at the END of the LAST LEVEL! Maybe the skull is there. It was during the time when I was going through the first tunnel like thing that resembled the Pillar of Autumn from Halo 1. Somewhere around there.[/quote] Same thing happened to me.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BoondockSaint32 Because of this I finally know what I am changing my gamertag to: I would have been your daddy or any combination of the beginning letters. At any rate we continue to struggle. Im going to check out some Johnson alternatives. The description from OXM is the first level, where Johnson is on the turret and gets attacked by a phantom. If you look across the water on heroic+ there are jackal snipers. Someone could try checking out the water but I doubt there would be anything in there seeing as there is already one silver skull in that level. *POSSIBILITY* Johnson gets captured numerous times in game. WHAT IF, every time he gets captured you must pick something up, or trigger something. Thus, causing the skull to drop at the very end when he kicks the bucket.[/quote] I just remembered one time on the first lvl my gf fell into the water but didn't die.. she could walk around but she didn't want to die lol... i didn't think anything of it until I read this post..

Im not even working on this and i have a migrane from the thought of having to doo so much bull. lol

Endless locations, limited time.

All this forum and refreshing and AHHHH!!!! I think it's time someone or even Bungie starts a channel on IRC or something (since IRC is free to do so) and give us a live chat session. Things would go alot smoother.
-
Theres already a silver skull on that level...
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HaloHunter72 I am talking about the Hornet during the Alpha save. When you load that save or play an earlier game, you can enter the hornet. Is it possible to go from there to reach the second tower? Because by that time, the second tower is dealt with, forcing you to almost forget about it.[/quote] the tower is closed once the first is deactivated.. that maybe a good spot to try and get to
-
Its a possibility. Im going to go check out the citadel after my friend is done playing the first level. Afterwords I will check out the last level. I will be finding this skull before I play multiplayer again.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Joker nz Endless locations, limited time.[/quote] Limited time? I say I have another 80 years before I die, that's the only limit for me.
-
Possible, but I'm talking about when you first obtain the hornet on that level. You could find a few spots to reach from the large beams once you reach tower 2, then work your way to the top in some way.
-
Ill check it out HaloHunter. Im going to check a couple different things. Another possibility that someone should try: Do the hornet trick and then use the hornet to jump onto the Pelican that is there. When you pelican flies away, you should be able to fly away with it too, possibly taking you to the second tower where you can go in with the elites? Its hard to say until someone tries it.
-
In Halo 1 on the start of "IWHBYD" you can ride the Pelican down as well, maybe there's a connection.
-
Indeed. My method, now that I think about it, seems probable (like everything else), but would seem too simple. The level itself is very enormous, but I imagine with the capable minds of the people looking for it, it is only a matter of time before being released to the public. However, I will participate in the hunt, and I have a capture card if anyone happens to find the method but cannot share it in a video.
-
I made it onto one of the big pillars when the 2nd one hit my mongoose and flipped me onto it. I didn't see any skulls on it, and when I moved from my safe spot I instantly died
-
Okay well just so you know they have confirmed it to be on this level so no " Its on the first level or anything." I doubt that you have to do something in a different level in order for him to drop it, it just seems too unrealistic considering then you would have to play from begining to nearly end in one go. The second tower does hold a skull, the Thunderstorm Skull. I reccomend everyone to play through the level and go wide and far on easy if need be to get the recording and then go into theature mode and search for it. Mabye partner up and everyone take a section to get it done faster. Who ever gets this skull first will get the title of "H3 God" (Sue me I cant think of a cool title.)
-
If someone finds the skull they can use the Theater feature and record it can't they?
-
But if you go through on Easy the skull won't be there, or is that only for the Golden skulls?
-
I was under the impression that you can find them they just dont do crap for acheivement wise. I will just try the Blind skull on Easy to find out.
-
How far out to sea can we go and how far around the island can we go? (in the water).
-
I already have the Blind skull.
-
Wait am I reading this correctly? Once you go through the level on campaign, you can save the film and go back through and virtually search every spot your masterchief visited? I wonder if it deals with a certain campaign gamerscore... i.e. you have to be at like 25,000 points for it to appear or something. Maybe these 2 blind skulls work together in some sense, that you must do some requirement for them to turn into the IWHBYD skull. Since they said its going to be a while before the public finds out, unless it gets leaked by a bungie employee, it just makes sense that there is more of a trick involved more so then it actually being in a super hidden spot.
-
(So I haven't done any skull hunting, but was reading this topic over and got an idea) From what I read, they have said it will take a long time to find, and when it is finally found it will seem completely obvious. This leads me to believe the method by which it is hidden does not involve it's placement, but the means to spawn it. Also that it is not an overly complex spawn requirement, merely one that no-one would think to check. This leads me to theorize the following; 1st: it can only be found on easy setting (skulls 'don't spawn' on easy, so why would anyone bother to check, right?) If they place it there, people playing through on easy won't be looking for skulls. 2nd: What else would someone never be doing while playing on easy? They wouldn't activate the other skulls. Why activate all 12 other skulls when you could simply play on a harder difficulty. It could be sitting completely out in the open, but still take months to find if it only appears when playing through on easy with the other 12 skulls all activated. 3rd: (Really grasping) The null skull on the level is a confirmed 2nd blind skull, they say that's it, but what it under the previous conditions it becomes the IWHBYD skull? I mean, they could be lying right about it not being so right? Sorry if I am 100% off base, just reading through and thought I'd throw some thought out. [Edited on 09.27.2007 2:25 AM PDT]

You cant find skulls on easy, you need to be on at least normal. There is nothing at the second tower other than the Thunder skull. My guess would be that its either at the third tower or in the citadel at this point. It could be at the beginning but who knows. It is in the Covenant level and I will resume looking as soon as my friend is done playing :).
-
I was wrong on Easy they arent there so you will have to play it on normal.

[/quote] that reminds me of the un named skull in halo 2, having to wait about 4 mins till johnson says "would it help if i said please"
