A Skull in Halo 2 is an Easter egg left in-game by Bungie to make the game more challenging or interesting, or to unlock potentials that would otherwise remain hidden. There is no information text to wield a skull, as there is with a weapon, but it can be picked up just the same and its effect, ranging from making the game extremely difficult to letting one grenade jump higher than ever before, lasts until the Xbox is restarted (Or in Halo 2 Vista until the game is restarted), but do nothing outside of campaign. These skulls are hidden ''very'' far out of the normal path of the level, sometimes even backwards.

Every skull except the Blind and Assassins Skulls are only available in [[Legendary]] Difficulty (Though on other difficulty's the assassins skull will have no effect). The Blind skull may be very handy tool when recording video, and, fortunately, is very easy to activate.

There are some discussions saying that activating all skulls will unlock a secret movie at the end like [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], when you complete the last level on Legendary, or activate more plot revealing dialogue in the cut scenes. This has never been successfully tested. People curious about these unlocks have found a 15-letter code on the [[Halo 2 Soundtrack]] and thought this code was a specific order these skulls needed to be activated to unlock the secrets. This was not the case.
