The achievements aren't all that difficult to achieve but I'm just here explaining strategies and locating the easiest way to gain them. If you have suggestions and they sound legit, I will gladly use them on my guide and will give credit of course. Just send me an email with the subject as the achievement, "Halo 3", or "strategy", otherwise I'll think it's spam and delete it. Also, let my know if I've made any mistakes on anything. Thanks for looking over my guide! |------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| 000 000 =000=======000=============================================================== 000 000 | 000 000 | 0000000000000 B.

Graduate (10) - Earn 5 EXP or finish 10 games to complete training in online play 32. UNSC Spartan (15) - Earn a Sergeant rating in online play Most easily earned by playing ranked/social team games, killing a lot of people, winning a lot of games, and making the MVP of the team. 33. Spartan Officer (25) - Become an Officer in online play 34. Two For One (5) - Score a double kill with a single spartan laser shot Not an easy achievement to get but it's less difficult on the smaller maps, like High Ground. Just grab the spartan laser and just hope two enemies get close enough to eachother to take them both out in one shot. Try going in the bunker with a buddy to protect you. Look for enemies huddled together around the stairs or in the open. Charge, and shoot. 35. Too Close To The Sun (5) - Destroy a banshee with the spartan laser or missle pod in ranked free for all or in campaign. The way I did this one is right in the beginning of The Covenant mission. Conserve some spartan laser ammo and take out all enemies in the area. When you reach the checkpoint where a pelican drops a mongoose and a warthog, (right after you kill the anti-air wraith on the hill) there should be some banshees flying over head. Zoom in and fire. If you miss and are out of ammo, just revert to last save and start over. 36. Triple Kill (5) - Kill 3 enemies within 4 seconds of eachother in a ranked free for all playlist. Easiest way to do this is on the playlist Lone Wolves. Grab a shotgun, sword, rocket launcher or turret and join in an unsuspecting firefight and unload into the group. 37. Overkill (5) - Kill 4 enemies within 4 seconds of eachother in a ranked free for all playlist. (Look at Triple Kill strategy. AND DON'T DIE.) 38. Killing Frenzy (5) - Kill 10 enemies without dying in a ranked free for all playlist. You can easily do this one with shotty snipers on the Valhala map. You can sit and wait at the fort but you'll easily be notcied sooner or later so try going behind pelican with a buddy, have him shotgun enemies that get too close and snipe anybody that you can see. Try to ditract them with a sniper on the hill in the middle. Try to keep well hidden because sooner or later they're going to head for you so move after about 4 kills or so to a new location keeping your buddy with you. Just remember to keep that head down! Another way to do this is to use a shotty snipers on High Ground and crouch in the bunker so you'll be undetected. Kill a few and move on around the edges. Keep a varity of grenades handy too. If you start to get sniped at, deploy the bubble and have your buddy distract them and sneak around the side to reach the cliff in the back and pick some enemies off from there (where the oversheild is) and KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN. 39. We're In For Some Chop (5) - Destroy an enemy vehicle with equipment in a ranked playlist or in the campaign. Best bet is to set a trip mine. If there's an enemy trying to splatter you, set it down and bye-bye he'll go. You may kill yourself though in the process but heeello achievement! 40. Lee R Wilson Memorial (5) - Score 5 grenade sticks in ranked free for all online. Pretty sure this means just to collect 5 grenade sticks. Not too sure if you have to stick or kill anybody but I'm pretty sure you don't. 41. Steppin' Razor (5) - Score a Triple Kill with the energy sword in ranked free for all play. The easiest map I've found to get this is on The Pit map. Grab the sword in the room on the second floor all the way on the side, near the fence is with the vehicles on the other side. You can make it even easier by putting a bubble in the center of the room and swipe everyone that comes through. 42. Mongoose Mowdown (5) - Kill an enemy with the Mongoose by running (splattering) them over in ranked free for all play. Easiest map to do this in is High Ground. Remember to use a mongoose, and not the ghost. Just keep driving around until you hit someone and don't stop because that makes you an easy target. It's more enclosed and smaller than other maps making it easier for you to splatter them. 43. Up Close and Personal (5) - Kill five enemies by melee or assassination in ranked free for all play. Easily done since it's not hard to press the B button near an enemey, everyone does it. Just weaken them a bit, throw some grenades, run up and melee them. Great in close- quarters like High Ground, Narrows and The Pit. 44. Fear The Pink Mist (5) - Kill 5 enemie with the needler in a ranked for free all or in campaign This is probably one of the first achievements you'll get. Just grab a needler and start shootin'! Make sure the crosshair is in red otherwise you're just waistin' ammo. 45. Headshot Honcho (5) - Kill 10 enemies with headshots in ranked free for all play or in the campaign. I've been told that you must get the 10 headshots in a row, even though it doesn't say that. If someone wants to clarify that with me, email me. 46. Used Car Salesman (5) - Detroy a vehicle that has three enemies in it in a ranked playlist or campaign. I suggest doing this on campaign. There seems to be a glitch, which is how I got it to where when you're in the mission Crow's Nest, when you enter the hangar. There will be a couple of Covenant drop ships that enter the hangar. I just meleed the turret in the front when it got close and voila achievement. For Multiplayer, you'd be lucky to find a warthog with 3 guys in it but it is possible. Use a Power drain and hit 'em with plasma grenades and rockets before they escape! Oh the poor souls. haha- 48. MVP (5) - Earn the MVP in a ranked playlist. Basically, this achievement just wants you to get at the top of the score (kills) list. You must win the match too otherwise you won't get it. At least, for me it didn't. 49. Maybe Next Time Buddy (5) - After being boarded in free for all online play, board the same vehicle again within 10 seconds. There's really no easy way to get this, but you can prevoke it. Just get a ghost in High Ground or Last Resort and drive around some enemies, shooting them, but not killing them. Get close enough to where they would want to hijack it. Let them, then reclaim what's rightfully yours right after they take it. You can kill them also, but make sure you don't destroy the vehicle as well. |------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| 000 000 =000=======000=============================================================== 000 000 | 000 000 | 0000000000000 C. Skulls | 0000000000000 | 000 000 | 000 000 | =000=======000=============================================================== 000 000 There are 9 gold skulls and there are 4 silver skulls to be found. Gold skulls gain you achievements, sadly silver ones don't but in my opinion are much more awesome! *Note: To pick up a skull, walk over it while holding RB [Right Bumper] ALSO, YOU MUST START THE MISSION FROM THE BEGINNING TO GET THE SKULL, IF YOU SKIP TO RALLY POINTS, THEY WILL NOT BE THERE. GOLD SKULLS this is a video to find all of the gold skulls, provided by xTala25x if you're stuck http://youtube.com/watch?v=JGD8phQhU7Q 1. Iron "Death carries a heavy price" This skull will cause you to return to the beginning of the mission when you die. If you use it in co-op, the death of any player will cause all players to return to the previous checkpoint. Who would honestly make them- selves suffer using this skull, unless you're ridicu- lously good? Found on Sierra 117- 2. Black Eye "Bash your way to better health" If you take any damage to your shield, it won't regenerate unless you hit an enemy with a melee attack. ONLY use where you can melee a lot of enemies. Sucks if you like ridin in cars a lot. Found on Crow's Nest- 3. Tough Luck "Your foes always make every saving throw" This skulls effect is also annoying because enemies will be better at diving away from your grenades and needlers. Makes it more of a challenge to kill brutes and the like. Found on Tsavo Highway- 4. Catch "Pull pin. Count to three. Throw" Enemies that throw grenades will throw more of them. Like Grunts! That means, more Kamikaze Grunts and a lot more dying. BUT, enemies will also drop more grenades so that means more awesome explosions in firefights! Found on The Storm- 5. Fog "You'll miss those eyes in the back of your head" This skulls will take away your tracker/radar. Not a big deal since you can see and hear where most enemies are. Can be annoying when fighting invisible Brutes or in vehicle fights, but not too shabby. Found on Floodgate- 6. Famine "Trust us. Bring a magazine" Get ready to conserve some ammo! Actually I didn't find this one to be much of a problem either. All it does is make ammo more scarce when you pick it up from dead ene- mies. Drop pods and weapon racks will still be full though! Found on The Ark- 7. Thunderstorm "Feild promotions for everyone!" This skull pretty much just promotes every enemy. Every- one will become tougher versions of themselves. Brutes become Captains/Cheiftans and Grunts will be the toughest gray versions. And of course, the Flood will be tougher sheilded versions. Found on The Covenant- 8. Tilt "What was once resistance is now immunity" This one can be quite a nuisance since you must take down the sheilds of Brutes and some of the Flood. This means you must strip their armor using plasma weapons, then finish them off with some bullets to the head. Found on Cortana- 9. Mythic "Coverage under the Covenant Health Plan" This effect will make enemies take more hits to kill. Putting it simply, gives them twice as much of health. I don't recommend this on Legendary, you might just give yourself a heart attack. Found on Halo- SILVER SKULLS this is a video to find all of the silver skulls, provided by xTala25x if you're stuck http://youtube.com/watch?v=WlSWOB3MhIg 10. Blind "Shoot from the hip" Makes everything, eh, blind. Which means, no cross hair, no sheild, grenade, waypoint, motion tracker or weapons indicator. Not really all that worth it. Found on Sierra 117- 11. Cowbell "More band for your buck" Increases explosions from grenades, needlers, anything that blows up. Awww yeah! Found on The Ark- 12. Grunt Birthday Party "Light a match..." This is my favorite skull, whenever you shoot a grunt in the head, confetti will spew out of it's head and scream "hurray"! Found on Crow's Nest- 13. I Would Have Been Your Daddy (IWHBYD) "But a dog beat me over the fence" I actually didn't notice too much of a difference in dialog with this skull on but it's supposed to include extra dialog at certain points in campaign. Found on The Covenant- |------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| 000 000 =000=======000=============================================================== 000 000 | 000 000 | 0000000000000 D. Terminals | 0000000000000 | 000 000 | 000 000 | =000=======000=============================================================== 000 000 There are 7 total Terminals that are only found in 3 levels. Forerunner Terminals are simply backstory and you read them to find out what happened to the last day of the Forerunners. Find all 7 of them and get an achievement, yay! this is a video to find all of the terminals, provided by xTala25x http://youtube.com/watch?v=V0QCiP4SVEY *Note: You do not need to get them in order of eachother. Also, make sure to read everything until a red arrow appears near the bottom. That's a sign you can back out of the Terminal. Annoying, if you're only in it for the achievement. The Ark Terminals 1. This terminal is in the beginning of the level, you head through a small Forerunner corridor with a room to your left. Head into that room to find the terminal on the right. An easy find. 2. The second one is a bit further through. It's when you follow Guilty Spark and extend the bridge for the scorpions and warthogs. Turn around after extending the bridge. You'll see it. 3. The last one is underneath a ramped stairwell near the end of the mission before another firefight. There should be a room right under the stairwell and voila! The Covenant Terminals 4. As you make your way to shut down the first sheild, jump across the gap near the first elevator and there's your terminal. 5. This terminal is actually near the skull, Thunderstorm. 6. The next terminal is just like the first one in this mission. jump across the gap at the third elevator before deactivating the third sheild to get your terminal. Halo Terminal 7. Right in the beginning of the level before any fights. Keep to the right as you're walking and look for some icey ledges leading upwards to the right when you have the choice of jumping down or going right. You should now have your Marathon Man achievement, if not, you may have missed a terminal, or did not read or skip through it correct- ly. Only press the B button when the red arrow appears near the bottom. The A button will skip through without interrupting anything. |------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| 000 000 =000=======000=============================================================== 000 000 | 000 000 | 0000000000000 E.
