Template:Ratings The Iron skull is a skull available in Halo 2 and Halo 3. When the skull is active in co-op, it sends all players back to the last checkpoint on the occasion that one player dies. This is effective in both Halo 2 and Halo 3. When active in a solo campaign mission in Halo 3, the player is restarted at the beginning of the level in the event of that player's death. In Halo 3, the revert to last checkpoint option in the menu doesn't even appear, since Bungie has removed it. In Halo 3, this skull provides a 3x point multiplier if activated during the meta-game. Finding this skull in Halo 3 awards a player with the Iron Achievement.

You may jump on the pipes and then to the roof. Travel all the way to the opposite end of the roof and then look for the skull concealed in the corner on the left side. Note: You must start at the very beginning of the level, otherwise the skull will not appear.
