'''Level''': ''[[Outskirts]]''  
'''Level''': ''[[Outskirts]]''  


'''Directions''':When you start the level, go through the door and kill the [[Unggoy|Grunt]] there. Backtrack and right above the first door you came through there is a light. Crouch Jump onto that and either Crouch Jump or Grenade Jump again (Crouch Jumping is easier), and you should be on the roof (or you can get the Sputnik Skull and only use one grenade). Look for a space between the two buildings, and go into it, at the end there should be four [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|Fragmentation Grenades]], a spotting scope, and the Skull in front of them.

'''Effect''': Your [[heads-up display]] becomes invisible. In other words, you cannot see your weapon (unless it's the Energy Sword, which has a glitched appearance with this Skull), body, shields, ammunition, motion tracker, or use your flashlight. Muzzle flare from weapons though, are still visible. However, well experienced players should be able to accurately judge where they are aiming with ease. Also, as enemies can still spot you, this Skull serves no tactical advantage whatsoever (although [[machinima]] makers will find a good use for this Skull), although hitting enemies with the Skull should kill them with only two or three hits. The effects of this Skull will last until you turn off the Xbox or eject the disc. Oddly, you can still see the shadow of your weapon, and even the Blind Skull itself.

If you get a checkpoint while fighting the Elites, save and quit. You will restart where you saved and then you can continue killing them. Saving here will enable you to load the IWHBYD effect (by killing the remainder of the Elites) after the Xbox is turned off, although the actual Skull will not be reloaded.

If you manage to get the skull to spawn (appear) then do not grab it straight away; walk around for a while until you get a another checkpoint then get the skull, That way if you die while battling the [[Seven|7]] waves of elites, you can just try again instead of having to restart the level

You can battle the Elites with the skull if you so desire. To do this, the second you grab the skull, leave the room and drop it over the balcony. It will fall into the alley you fight the Elites in and sometimes will go straight into your hands.

'''Directions''': In the large room after the armory, you need to use a Crouch Jump to get onto a light fixture on the right wall (right of the room when you enter) and then jump from there onto the higher area. There is a series of diagonal beams. Walk up one near to the end of it and use it to Crouch Jump onto one of the rails. You can fall between the rails, so be careful. Once on the rail, walk down it until you can jump onto the highest platform. Then melee the trashcan away from the wall a few times, the Skull is right behind it.

'''Alternate Directions''':It is possible to Grenade Jump up to the platform if you can't stay on the rails. The Sputnik Skull helps a lot here, but it's possible without it. Just get on the ground near the platform the Skull is on and Grenade Jump. You also don't need to melee the trashcan out of the way, but it will reveal a interesting hidden object. Near the Skull is a burning cigar that looks like a [[Sweet William cigar|Sweet William Cigar]], the type that Sergeant Johnson is seen using.
