Halo Infinite skull locations guide

#1: Boom skull

• Location: Warship Gbrakkon
• Effect: Doubles explosion radius

Near the beginning of the campaign, on the Warship Gbrakkon, you will be in a long room with several levels and the ability to grapple between floors. Your radar pulse should reveal the skull to your right, easily in range.

#2: Cowbell skull

• Location: Foundation
• Effect: Increases explosion acceleration

Once you have The Weapon during the Foundation mission you’ll arrive at a large blue-colored room. Look up, use your radar pulse to locate the skull, and employ your Grappleshot to get to it.

#3: Catch Skull

• Location: Open World / North Zeta
• Effect: Enemies use and drop more grenades

This skull is located in a tree stump in North Zeta near a small lake with some enemies surrounding it.

#4: Fog skull

• Location: Open World / Southeast of Foundations
• Effect: Disables motion tracker

This skull is right at the edge of the map in a cave. Be on the lookout for some hexagon-shaped columns, you’ll find the cave in an opening near them.

#5: I Would Have Been Your Daddy (IWHBYD) skull

• Location: Open World / The Tower
• Effect: Rare combat dialogues happen more frequently

Located at the top of The Tower, easily accessible with a flying vehicle. This one won’t make the game any harder, just more fun.

#6: Blind skull

• Location: Open World / South of The Tower
• Effect: Disables HUD and doesn’t show weapons

Look for a crack in the earth just south of the previous skull and get ready to use your radar and grapple once again to traverse into the ravine on a ledge.

#7: Thunderstorm skull

• Location: Open World / Anti-Aircraft Guns
• Effect: Upgrades most enemies’ rank

You’ll find this near the farthest East anti-aircraft gun atop a tall column. Easiest to get to this one with a flying vehicle or upgraded grapple.

#8: Black Eye skull

• Location: Open World / South Zeta
• Effect: Shield recharge only triggers when you melee an enemy

Look for a waterfall right around the southern mountain range on the map. There you’ll find a waterfall with a gap in the middle where the skull sits.

#9: Famine skull

• Location: Open World / East Zeta
• Effect: Weapons dropped by enemies have only half ammo

You’re looking for a dead elite on an island at the far East of the map. That’s where the Famine skull is located.

#10: Mythic skull

• Location: The Command Spire
• Effect: Enemies have increased health

On the Command Spire mission, you’ll find a room with columns with markings on them. Look up and grapple your way towards a hole in the ceiling until you find a secret door where the skull is hidden. This is one of the tougher ones to locate, so give yourself some time.

#11: Grunt Birthday Party skull

• Location: Repository
• Effect: Killing a grunt with a headshot causes celebrations

In the Repository mission, you’ll need to activate a terminal in a large room and then look to grapple to a door on the right rather than passing a bridge you’re presented with. You’ll need to throw a Power Seed to the door on the other side and then grapple over to it.

Once you get it, you’ll be in a room with gold-plated walls surrounding an entryway. The skull is just above said entryway.

#12: Bandana skull

• Location: Silent Auditorium
• Effect: Grants infinite ammo and grenades, and removes cooldowns

This one’s definitely worth the wait. In the Silent Auditorium mission, you’ll get to a room with some Sentinels that you cannot kill, otherwise, it won’t spawn the skull. Ignore them and head through the two bridges into a long room straight ahead. Grapple up, and grab the final skull in Halo Infinite’s campaign
