When found, it unlocks the achievement [[Halo 3 Skulls#Citadel|Citadel Skull]], which is depicted by the skull and a [[Forerunner symbols|Forerunner glyph]] on the forehead. The skull is near the blue side of the map; near the area where a doorway is in between two glowing "B"s. The skull is on top of the "B" on the right hand side. It is hidden atop of the B inside a small concealed place.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_XYSVt1swM Citadel Skull location on YouTube]</ref> | ||

*If you look out the skylight windows, there is no evidence of the tower continuing. However, looking out of the side windows (and using the road-like metal objects outside as reference points) reveals that Citadel is closer to the ground than Epitaph is. The former would seem to imply that Citadel is at the top of the tower, but the latter proves that it is closer to the bottom. | *If you look out the skylight windows, there is no evidence of the tower continuing.

**This may have been a simple level design oversight. Using [[Pan Cam]] reveals that the developers completely removed the tower's exterior (such that in terms of the Citadel's 3D, the area is effectively a set of hallways floating in midair). They may not have noticed the resulting discrepancy. | **This may have been a simple level design oversight.

**Citadel seems to be set at the top of the tower, if the player looks upward while standing on the elevated area in the center of the map, the player will see sky. However, when on Epitaph and looking upward, Citadel cannot be seen.
