Halo 2 - Modes and Skulls!

Skulls and Modes!

Assassin Mode On
At the beginning of Regret, go past the first lift, before the underwater elevator, then grenade jump from the forward awning, the one with two gun turrets). Now, grenade-jump again to the next ledge, and make your way to the back of the building. If you play on Easy you'll see a skull. If you play on legendary, you'll see two Elites with Swords, which shake their heads and ignore you.

Black Eye Mode
On the level The Great Journey, on top of the control room where Johnson blows up the door, youll find the Black Eye Skull, which turns off shield regeneration.

Blind Mode On
At the beginning of Outskirts, crouch jump on top of the light (on top of the door), and then jump to the left platform. Now, turn to the left and proceed down the dark corridor and pick up the skull. You should see a message saying 'Blind', and the screen will flash black. In this mode you won't be able to see your weapon, body, shields or HUD.

Blind Mode Off
Turn off your Xbox, or Save and quit. Go to Campaign Mode, and select Cairo Station. Skip the cinematic, and Save and quit. Return to Outskirts, and your game will be back to normal.

Angry Mode
When you are the Master Chief trying to recover the index from the Prophet of Truth on the Covenant Holy City go until you reach the first outdoor area with dirt and vegetation. Take a right as you enter this room and run up to the wall past the gravity lift that leads up to the sniper point. Get on top of the wall by going up the dirt mound on your left. Follow the wall until you reach the floating skull called "Angry". This skull makes enemies fire at a faster rate. Catch Mode
On the level the Tunnel, after you past the sewer tunnel, you will reach the park area where two ghosts are. At the middle of the area youll see a arc that leads up onto the building. Grenade jump up the wall and turn left and travel around the structure to find the Catch Mode Skull.

Envy Mode On
At the level Delta Halo, on Legendary difficulty, reach the area where you play 'Push Through The Covenant Hel Buildings, where you have to clear a landing zone for the Pelican. Near one of the Plasma Turrets, you'll see a outline of a door which is sealed. Jump onto the rock and then jump onto the ledge of the door, and grenade jump to the ledge above the door. Atop the door, you'll see two dancing elites and a skull. If you pick up the skull, the Master Chief will be able to use the Arbiters Active Camouflage.

Infinite Camo (Need the Envy Skull)
After getting the envy skull go through a checkpoint while in active camo mode. To be safe use "reset to last checkpoint" so you can check if you did it right. Save and quit; then turn off the Xbox to remove the envy mode. When you reload your file you will find yourself with unlimited camo.

Famine Skull
On the level The Oracle, get to the slowly descending elevator; youll see a hall with dead bodies. Go to the next room and youll be in a windowed room on the second floor. Look to the right to find a window, near some flood blood splatter, shoot out the window and travel through it. Look bellow and youll see a platform with four tall posts. At the far side of the room theres a column that is right in between the two windows, on the far side of the room. Turn on your active camo, and jump to the center platform. Jump on either of the posts on the far side of the platform and jump to the column between the windows. Make another jump through the window you shot out and make a left. Walk all the way to the end and you'll find four flood elites convulsing on the floor, with the Famine skull in the middle of them. When you have this skull all weapons will have half ammo.

Iron Mode
At the last Master Chief Level, on Legendary Difficulty, enter the final Gravity Lift, look up, and hold X. A skull will pass by very fast quickly. Grab it to attain the Iron Skull.

Mythic Mode
On the level Sacred Icon, there is a semi outdoor area, which has the same type of area right next to it. There is a large sentinel in front of each one. Go past this area and down the piston and you'll be in a dark and dank flood infested area. There's a stack of 6 or 7 boxes as you enter the room. Use them to jump up to the landing above. There are a handful of alcoves on your right hand side. The skull is in the third alcove, floating above a dead human flood. When you are in this mode flood are invincible when driving vehicles.

Sputnik Mode
On the level Quarantine Zone, at the very beginning, turn directly around, and you should see a tunnel. Head down the tunnel and go straight until you exit it. Go straight across the open area, and you'll come across a broken pipe tunnel on your right. Straight in front of you is a small ledge running across the wall, above the green pit. Carefully get onto that small ledge and walk all the way to the end of the ledge to find the Sputnik skull. In this mode explosion force and melee force is greater.

Thunderstorm Mode
In the room past the armory, you need to use a duck-jump to get onto a light fixture on the right wall (right of the room when you enter) and then jump from there onto the higher area. There is a series of diagonal beams. Walk up one near to the end of it and use it to duck-jump onto one of the rails. You can fall between the rails, so be careful. Once on the rail, walk down it until you can jump onto the highest platform. Then bash the trashcan.

Grunty Birthday Party
At the Arbiter level, on legendary difficulty, get to the Banshee section, and fly all the way to the bottom of the map. In one of the cylinder cracks, which connect to the station, you'll see a group of Gunties dancing in circle around a skull. Pick up the skull to see a secret message. Now, headshots equal grenade blasts.

Blue Screen of Death Mode
At the multiplayer Zanzibar map; activate the computer, which controls the main gate into the base to activate the Blue Screen of Death.
