The skull is actually far out of the boundaries of Sandbox. One must go to [[Forge]] mode, and build tube pieces, shield doors and deploy [[Bubble Shield]]s to reach out for the skull. The direction to build the "Sandbox Skull Tunnel" is between the two Guardian towers to the right of the sun, or alternatively you could get an [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|Assault Rifle]] and aim it around until it points south-west (down-left, in Layman's terms). The skull is in a small but somewhat noticeable valley of sorts, right up against the far wall. When you think you've got the area right, get a [[Sniper Rifle]] or [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]] and aim to look at the skull and where it is precisely. Another strategy is to forge a tube corner and hide in the middle while pulling it along in monitor mode | The skull is actually far out of the boundaries of Sandbox.

First find the skull by going into theater and look around. The skull should be between the two towers right to the sun. Getting to the Skull may be difficult because the watchtower will destroy the player if he or she goes outside the playing area. An easy way to get it is to set up a teleporter and fly the receiver to the right side of the tower then immediately activate a bubble shield, this will keep you alive to grab the skull, or if need be go to edit mode and get another bubble shield throw it closer to the skull and then grab it and you get the achievement. | First find the skull by going into theater and look around.

The longest, most confusing, and most time consuming method is to combine bubble shields, walls, tunnels and teleporters. | The longest, most confusing, and most time consuming method is to combine bubble shields, walls, tunnels and teleporters. | ||

* There is a glitch in Sandbox where if you stand on the top of one of the bases and have trip mines continually respawn under you, throw them down on the ground below about 55-60 times creating a huge explosion that "distracts" the towers and preventing you from being killed. You can run out and get the skull by foot, vehicle or in monitor mode safely. This is the easiest proven method of retrieving the Sandbox skull without downloads or other complicated methods. | * There is a glitch in Sandbox where if you stand on the top of one of the bases and have trip mines continually respawn under you, throw them down on the ground below about 55-60 times creating a huge explosion that "distracts" the towers and preventing you from being killed.
