Hidden Skulls have been a part of Halo since their introduction in Halo 2. These special collectibles are, well, hidden throughout the game’s campaign, and alter the game in a unique manner. There are 12 hidden Skulls in Halo Infinite, and we’re working on discovering their locations and cataloguing their effects.
The hidden Skulls can only be activated before loading up your game. If you have a save file already, head back to the menu and choose “Load Game.” There, you will see the option to use one of the skulls. Here’s our guide to show you how to find each one, and explain what they do.
Note: You can better locate Skulls using your scan. When you’re near one, there will be an audible cue. Also, some Skulls are available in missions that cannot be replayed until 343 Industries releases an update. Finally, you can activate more than one Skull at a time, making for some interesting synergy.
Halo Infinite hidden skulls — Locations and effects
Hidden Skull #1: Boom
This first hidden Skull is located in the game’s starting mission, Banished Warship Gbraakon. For the Boom Skull, you need to find a certain room. You’ll run into it not long after the introduction area where you’re taught the various abilities you have. After moving down a few hallways and rooms, you’ll enter one with moving metal boxes on the right-hand side. It should be unmistakable, as there’s only one room with this feature. If you see a door with what appear to be holograms of Tremonius on either side, you’ve gone too far.
Once you spot this room, you know you’re in the right place.
Now, to find the Boom Skull, you need to jump on the moving box in the center. Ride it to the top and look around. It’s sitting on the box next to you.
Halo, nice to meet you.
Effect: The Boom Skull, it rhymes with doom, and that’s what happens with explosions. All explosions in the game will have twice the radius, but the damage will not be increased.
Hidden Skull #2: Cowbell
The second skull you can find, Cowbell, is in the second mission: Foundation. If you’re wondering, this is where the Master Chief acquires the Weapon. This hidden Skull is one of the most trickiest locations of Halo Infinite, and will demand some skill with the Grappleshot. It’ll be tough, as you won’t have the second upgrade for it yet.
Following your second elevator ride, you’ll come across an open room with a narrow platform on the left side. Grunts and Jackals are waiting for you hear, so it’s best to take them out. Here’s what the area looks like, with a dead Grunt. Because I mean business.
Next comes the real icky part. If you look up, you should see a short, narrow platform way up just below the ceiling. That’s where you need to go. My suggestion: use the Grappleshot to zip up the first “buttress” against the left wall (when standing with your back against the entrance). There are two gaps. Get to the first one, and the jump backward and grapple up to the next. Now, sprint up the ascending part and jump, aiming your reticle to the platform that holds the skull. If you make it first try, congrats. I didn’t. If you fall, you die, so you may be at this a few times.
Once you make it to the platform, the skull is yours.
Effect: Cowbell will cause objects in an explosion to fly with increased velocity. It might be good for grenade jumps, but I’m not brave enough to try.
This is a living guide, so we will include more of Halo Infinite‘s hidden Skulls, their locations and effects, in the coming days. Stay tuned.
