Halo 2 skulls: Difference between revisions

Line 6: Line 6:
A Skull in Halo 2 is an easter egg left in 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 it's 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 in non-campaign split-screen. These skulls are hidden ''very'' far out of the normal path of the level, sometimes even backwards.

Every skull except the Blind Skull and the Assassin Skull, although Assassin has no effect on other difficulties, are only available in [[Legendary]] Difficulty. The Blind skull is a very handy tool when recording video, and therefore 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 bring out more secret-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.
