Im not sure if it was frankie but i thought it was said that they wanted to have skulls hidden like the IWHBYD skull on halo 3. I was able to laocate allllmost all the terminals and skulls on my first play through (i was looking for them though)

Yeah some you just walk to, and only 3 grenade jumps
Did anyone else think one would be hidden out in the ocean on Silent Cartographer?
Yeah, they’re in pretty obvious locations. I thought we’d have to pull off some famous glitches to find skulls or something.

Same like on that island or somthing… or on top of the map. I was pleased however to find a number of terminals/skulls in locations i was familliar with. Like in the crevase on assault on the controll room. btw i wasnt trying to brag or anything in the OP. But i just thought there would be more to finding the skulls.
When bungie made the skulls in halo2 they didnt have achivements so they could bassically put whatever they wanted anywhere because they didnt have to dumb it down for everyone.
I wouldnt be suprised if there were more eggs out there though.
Sadly most people use and harness the power of “youtube”!!(I am one of them XD)
I dunno about hard to find, but it took me a pretty damn long time to figure out how to get to the bandanna skull.

I was convinced one would be in the Megg room…First thing I tried when I got home with the game…First disappointment on skulls too :c
Isn’t there a poster on the board on POA that says “Have you seen me?” that is a pic of a goose and a golden egg?
I took that as a hint that there is something Important/Cool hidden.

That would’ve been something fun to do, but you guys might think otherwise. You can’t really see through the water on HD but you can in classic so that would make finding the skull even harder if it was in the ocean.

same here toke a combined 4 hours or less…fun though !
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed. The only hard one is the Bandanna skull, and that’s not exactly that hard.
I was expecting something seriously HARD. Like, maybe in some random spot in the ocean on Silent Cartographer, or maybe on the hilltop where you have to blow up the Warthog or something. Maybe at the tip of one of the Forerunner spires on Halo? That was what I was expecting…
Oh well. Doesn’t really matter for me anyway, haha.
Making them hard and making them impossible for the average player are completely different. The average Halo player isn’t going to haves the skill to launch a hog to the top of a cliff for a skull. I thought they were hidden enough, though I don’t really care for searching things out like that.
Meh. They were alright.
I don’t think it was too bad. Some could be in better spots. It’s probably like this so your average joe gamer could find them.
Now that you said it, it was said that they were supposed to be hard to get even if you knew their location. But none of the skulls were actually hard to get, even Bandana, Fog, and Black Eye, while being the skulls you actually needed to use grenade jumps to get, weren’t actually hard.
When I heard they were going to be hard, I tought something like hidden on top of the towers on Halo, on top of Silent Cartographer, or on the other side of the gap you need to jump down on Keyes. That was the difficulty level I was expecting for and I was disappointed to not even get half of it.
To be honest, Halo 4 should be much harder. And not just hard to find, but hard to get to. I want the skulls to be so that having all of them is something to be proud of, no matter have you watched guides or not. That’s what I expected from CEA, but didn’t get.
I did not find a single skull throughout the campaign… I found every single terminal though…
