Halo 3: Where is my Hayabusa armor!?
EDIT (3): THE ARMOR HAS BEEN FOUND!!one!
The skull is located on then Covenant level at the very end. I would love to be specific but i dont want to spoil anything for the few people who haven’t played through campaign yet. Then you jump through rings in this order:
4 6 5 4 5 3 4
Each ring is a note which plays out the Halo song. After you do that you head back to the energy bridge and there the skull will be waiting for you.
The sucky thing is, last night I did some hard thinking at pretty much figured out the sequence was going to be the halo song, just couldn’t figure out which ring was which note… I also spent 2 hours looking through the map and really didn’t want to play another 30 minutes of the same stage to try out a theory. I come back from work to find out i was pretty much right. UUGGHH! Oh well. I’m not sure who originally found it, but major props man!
Anyways, go out there and get it!
I have made a GUIDE on how to get the all skulls, the terminals and the armors.
Most people are asking the same questions “How do you unlock the armors in multiplayer?” Luckily, I found a list of how to unlock them from the Gamefaqs message boards. Also a picture to go with it. One problem though, the list doesn’t mention anything about how to unlock the Hayabusa (Samurai) armor. I’ve seen it in the game last week and didn’t pay much attention to it, but now it seems to be a mystery to everyone. So, if anyone out there knows to get the Ninja Gaiden armor, enlighten us. PLEASE!

EDIT: Well its been confirmed. The hayabusa Armor is unlocked from the skulls. I believe its from the amount of skulls you find, not by which one. I currently have 12/13 skulls and the last skull name I Would Have Been Your Daddy is apparently the toughest to find. Bungie even mentions that “IWHBYD is hidden in ways you cannot yet even imagine. It’ll be a while, unless someone at Bungie leaks it. Good hunting, gentlemen.”
A week ago when i was playing a few custom matches and ran into a fellow name Ske7ch. (don’t bother sending requests or messages. I don’t think he replies) He had on the Hayabusa armor and i didn’t think much of it because I didn’t understand how rare it was. Now it seems that he is one of VERY FEW people who have the last skull. you can check out my File Share to see a picture of him.
*I also edited the picture because the Rogue/EOD armor had the wrong chest piece on it. Also renamed it to EOD to match the list of armors.*
EDIT (2): What started out as a mystery has now changed into a worldwide hunt for the illusive IWBYD skull. Rumors say it is on Covenant and an image of the game’s hex shows that Skull_Daddy is on stage convenant. So go out there and look for it!

dangit! why do I have to be at stupid work today :<
I have the Hayabusa chest, don’t know how I got it. Wonder if having a DOAX2 save did it, since everyones conspiring its related to that stuff.
I also have the Hatabusa chest, i havent done anyything special in the game cept, ive found every gold skull and got that 5 kills with a needler achievement, might not have anything to do with them but thats all i can think of atm
if you kill 5 people with a needler in either ffa or in campaign even you get the chest piece of the hayabusa armor i checked my armors before the mission i did that accomplishment in and after i did it i had it so thats how you get the armor part at least
[...] I’ve finished the campaign I’ll post my impressions. For now, here is a rundown [via thexboxdomain.net] of what you need to do to unlock each type of armor available to the Spartan or [...]
I’ve got all but the hayabusa head, the only achievements I have are for beating the first 5 stages on heroic, the car salesman, and I have all the skulls
i wonder what it is. I recieved my armor after doing certain things today. this is what i accomplished
beating the game on legendary
earned a few met-game achievements
found some skulls “thunderstorm, grunt party, mythic and black eye.
i also activated a few terminals, maybe thats what gave me the armor piece
i had the Fear the Pink Mist achievement long before i recieved teh armor
Yea, I have the pink mist and I don’t have the armor…
i have the We’re in for some Chop Achievement but i don’t have any scout Shoulder Pieces?
[...] Source: http://thexboxdomain.net/2007/09/25/halo-3-where-is-my-hayabusa-armor/ [...]
Hayabusa is unlocked when you get all skulls.
Hatabusa pink mist yar yar yar football
dorks
ya i have the hayabusa armor…. everything but the head piece. you need to get all the gold skulls i have all the gold skulls and two of the silver skulls.
for the record the terminals dont give you the ninja armor… but the meta games might give the head piece…. thats the only thing im missing.. i beat it on legendary and thats not it either… so its gotta be meta games and skulls can anyone confirm… with picture.
I just confirmed that the chest plate “does” come from finding the golden skulls, not to sure how many though, because I am missing 2 and I still got it. If anyone knows how to get the shoulder pieces please let me know.
it cant be skulls i have one silver and 6 or 7 other skulls but i still have hayabusa chest piece maybe it is the first silver skull u pick up that gives u the chest plate
I’m almost sure the needler achievement has nothing to do with Hayabusa armor, because I have that achievement and I don’t have the armor, so it must be something else. Maybe skulls?
Is anyone else not seeing skulls where they should be??? I seem to have found every one except for “Grunt Birthday Party”, “Famine”, and “Thunderstorm”. I know where they are, it’s just when i get there there’s no skull.
Shadow, you need to be doing the game on legendary for most of the skulls. If that’s not it, I’m guessing either you’re not looking thoroughly, or Bill Gates hates you.
Honestly, I don’t care about the Hayabusa. I’d rather hear how to get the full sets of Mark V (Halo 1), Security (Marathon), and Rogue (Hellghast). Anyone?
Found the answer to my problem: When getting skulls on any level you must have it on “at least” normal difficulty and you “must” start the level from scratch no alpha of beta save-points.
When you say 1000 gamerscore, does that mean strictly on halo 3, or can it be just my gamerscore?
pretty sure he means HALO 3 only.
Here’s a VERY helpful link for finding the first 8 skulls…im still working on finding out where the “iron skull” is.
http://www.gamespot.com/users/thecapester/video
Iron Skull Guide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kiLnYz3XEA
Alright guys it’s 100% confirmed now. You must collect “all 9″ skulls(Step-By-Step video conveniently posted above this) to be able to unlock the chest+shoulders for the Hayabusa armor.
DOAX2 is not how you get anything its a rumor
the hayabusa arm. does look neat in all. but master chief isnt a shogun samurai.. he’s a spartan. [no offense intended whatsoever].
that being said.. wats the uknown helm. at the bottom?
Anyone considered that to earn the head piece, you need to complete the game with all skulls active? Perhaps on legendary or otherwise.
Why is everybody so interested in Halo aren’t we supposed to be talking about problems in the world like air pollutiohn,global warming,and other natuarl disasters.
hoogie..
plz stfu =)
what sucks is that my homeboys i play split screen with that dont have their own 360s arent gonna have all the cool armor.
lame.
i do look forward to whatever new armor they make you can download later.
if they could get a DOOM helmet… that would be the shizzle
This guide has alotta bad info….. Security doesn’t come with 750 gamescore in halo 3…
hey i only got halo 3 yesterday and i have the hayabusa body. i thought it was pink mist at first but then i realised you needed the skullz
im not sure which but try looking for these skulls:
iron
blackeye
tough luck
blind and also
grunts birthday party
im not sure if theres any other thing than a skull
I got the Hayabusa chest peice after getting the Tough Luck skull, Mythic Skull and Blidn Skull. I am not sure which one actually gave it to me.
From my post and the one above it looks like its either the Tough luck or grunts birthday party.
Sorry Blind not Birthday part
I have read all over the internet, and I htink I can confirm, the Hayabusa is unlocked by collecting 5, 10, and 13 skulls- for each of chest, shoulders, and helmet.
Hey guys thanks for all the tips and what not.. but i CANNOT get the flippin “car salesman” achievment.. i know you have to kill an enemy vehicle with 3 people in it.. but i cannot kill the vehicle without killing all the people in it first.. its crazy..
In all the armour images I have seen it has included this “Unknown 1″ mask… but the game only has 10 possible helmets and I have heard NOTHING on it for unlocking it….
I rather like the mask, but it isnt actually in the game, is it?
u unlock hayabusa shouldrrs and chest when u get all gold skulls
To get the Used Car Salesman award easily, go through Campaign until you find a Phantom dropship that’s about to unload some troops. Destroy one of its large turret guns before anyone exits. You should unlock that achievement without having to fully demolish the vehicle.
ok just asking what make Halo better then onther first person shooters, like Resistence: Fall of Man?
You get the Hyubasa by unlocking all terminals supposedly.

when i got the hayabusa armour i got a couple of skulls and completed a few levels on heroic. (i already had the pink mist achievement before i got it), (i havnt got all skulls and only accessed 1 terminal)
hears the deal to get the Hayabusa stuff collect the gold skull’s wen u get every single gold skull u get the helm i have it
I got the “we’re in for some Chop” but it didnt give me the shoudlers, anyone else ahve this problam?
Hello all, i have a few things to say that some of you are confused about.( at least i think you are) To get the Hayabusa armour you need to find ALL the skulls, the gold and sliver skulls. For skulls to appear on map you need to play level on Normal difficulty or higher. I have all the skulls except the IWHBYD skull and i have chest and shoulder peices of Hayabusa. If anyone knows how to get IWHBYD skull please drop me a line. Here are two sites which helped me greatly.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=9WrXr4Aa3Bs
There you have it. Happy Hunting!
Also i forgot to add, the pink mist achievement has absolutely nothing to do with the armour getting unlocked.
Happy Hunting!
One last thing, as said before in this forum, you must start all levels at the beginning, no starting at check points or skulls wont show up.
Happy Hunting!!
Ok, about the samurai armor. I was reading this last night and I saw the 5 kill needler thing. Well, I was thinking this morning and yesterday I got an unexpected reward called headshot hallo, or something like that. I haven’t been able to check out my armor yet, but it might be some type of armor bonus. I got this by getting a headshot on two grunts with one bullet from very far away. I hope this helps some.
Good Luck, Dart Dare
CAN SOMEBODY JUST TELL ME HOW TO GET SCOUT SHOULDERS?
has the technique posted above worked for anyone?
is there something special I need to do?
It has nothing to do with the needler achievement because I haven’t gotten it, and I have the armor and shoulders, but my friend who has it has none of them. I am working on getting all skulls, currently I have only 8 Gold and 1 Silver, and I have the chest and shoulders both. I believe it has to do with the number of skulls you have gotten, but not which skulls they are. I am going to get my last 4 skulls tomorrow, and from what I have read that also will not get the helmet, but I will post back if I do. It may have to do with getting all skulls AND beating the game on Legendary, which I am also working on, about halfway through right now. Will post back with anymore info I get.
you guys should really play the game instead of going on the internet the whole time. its load more fun.
but whats the story with the unknwon armour. is that the ninja one or wats the deal?
and how do i get it?
well i already got 12skulls atm
dont know where the 13th is
Hey! Guys I think we need 3 silver and all 9, at least to activate the las!
uhh dude tehre are 13 skulls
4silver and 9gold
u know where the last is?
To all the people saying you have to play DOA or get all of the skulls to unlock Hayabusa chest, just stop. You only need to get ONE skull to unlock it, and that skull is the gold famine skull. If you guys dont think its true just check your armor after youve gotten that skull and no others.
You get the hayabusa armor from finding all of the skulls. That is the only way to get the helmit atleast……
OH ya you also find the chest and shoulder armor by geting just five for the chest and 9 for the shoulders.
Skulls, you half to just get five skulls for the chest and nine skulls for the shoulder pads.
err actually i dont have all the skulls but i infact have all but helmet of hayabusa…. SO your “confirm” is false
If anyone finds out where the IWHBYD Skull is please let me know. That’s the only skull i have left to get and (supposedly) if you get all the skulls you get the hayabusa helment. So Let’s Get Crackin’ Bitches!
man, i love the fact we gotta work hard to unlock all these - but i dont know, i dunno if i like the hayabusa headpiece from the screenshots up top - doesnt fit in very well, i dont think itll look cool if too many people get it either.
i hope bungie makes downloadable armor/head pieces later that are gonna be INSANELY hard to get
p.s. what is unknown 1?
sorry one more thing - to get the skulls, can you play coop or just single?
to: Nopical Trogger
No, it doesn’t matter which mode you’re playing in, it works either way.
uhh btww
the terminals -_-
do u have to w8 till they turn red? and u see another message then it will show normally without errorring?
because i found 6 of 7 and only the 6th i was w8ing til lit turned red
and i showed me another message after 30secs
soooo my question..are the terminals activated after clicking RB on it. nvm how long u look into the terminal? or u have to w8? tell me
hmm think i need to w8 with terminals…
till the other message shows up
becaues i got 7terminals now and sitll no achievement
UNLOCK ALL THE SKULLS ON CAMPAIGN
dude i already did
only the last silver skull missing
I got the armor and im pretty sure i got by using the sword in the level where u have to locate the downed flood ship. not sure, but i think thats how.
whehe i used the same gear
i beated up all the foe’s
goddamnit i cant find the last silver skull
the very last 1…can some1 help me?
dudes mistery solved
Quote Source: NeoGAF
Tyson Green also confirmed that the Hayabusa, or “Samurai” Helmet is unlocked with the skulls. So once again, Happy Hunting!
i got the hayubusa chest after getting the tough luck skull. or at least im 95% certain i did
how do u get the were in for some chop achievement??
i have the were in for some chop acheivement and i dont have the scout shoulder peices. ive also completed the tsavo highway on normal and i dont have the armor for that either
[...] games. What you probably don’t know is how to acquire the new armors. Well, thanks to TheXboxDomain, here is a list of how to find most of new armors… note* - not all have been discovered, so [...]
how do you get the scout shoulder plates?i have the were in for some chop achievement and i dont have it. Ive heard its the new foundation but whats the secret to getting it?
Shzzle, on September 27th, 2007 at Said:
hears the deal to get the Hayabusa stuff collect the gold skull’s wen u get every single gold skull u get the helm i have it
Sorry, I have all the gold skulls, and 3 of the 4 silver ones. I have beat the game on heroic and 3/4ths on legindary. You (and I) have to get the IWHBYD Skull (I would have been your daddy) and according to bungie it is going to be very very hard to find and you probably will not find it unless its leaked by them.
So now, I would like to talk to someone who ACTUALLY has the Hayabusa helmet on that has information on getting that skull. If you are interested in the other pieces of armor please ask somone who knows EXACTLY how they got it.
but how do u get the “were in for some chop” achievement??? wat do u have to do?
have any of you guys noticed that the “unkown” helmet is considerably smaller than any of the other helmets, and is also so small that it is out of proportion
so wouldnt it be called “head hunter” helm or “low profile” helm. lol.
also thanks for all the tips about how to get the hayabusa armor
who cares
we need the last skull on The Covenant
its between the Thunderstorm skull and 3th tower switch
it could mean its a fake, for one.
a spartan with a shrunk head looks stupid, for two.
and snide remarks arent needs by noobs, for three.
db got a source of info? if its true i would love to party up and look for it with ya
Hey, i only need the Skull from the Storm level (and the IWHBYD one of course) to complete my collection, but i have a problem witth getting it. i think im at the right silo, big round thing, with a smaller round thing by it, valves on top, an inner wall to it. i’ve tried it on normal, hard, and legendary, and with the normal wraith by the gate intact, and blown up.
i cant find it.
does it mean the AA wraith, the normal wraith, or both?
am i at the right silo?
any other conditions im missing?
anyone who can help has my thanks, this is the only one i cant seem to get.
What does “Destroy an enemy vehicle with a piece of equipment in a ranked playlist or campaign” mean? What do they mean by “a piece of equipment”?
mines or the like.
per wikipedia:to unlock samurai armor you must locate the hidden skulls through out the game. 5 skulls = helmet 9 skulls = shoulders and all 13 skulls = chest plate

Sketch works at Bungie
Yo dude Ske7ch is one of the creators of bungie!!
CHECK IT ON BUNGIE.NET
NO WONDER HE HAS THE ARMOR, HE FREAKIN MADE THE GAME>
i didnt notice i had “found” on the edit. Sorry for the mix up. Thanks though; Greenskull and RecklessRifle.
Also it somewhat confirmed that the skull is on Covenant
Ok you guys are partially rihgt, but To unlock the chest it is FIVE of ANY type of skulls, for the shoulders- all NINE GOLD skulls, and for the helmet, it takes ALL 13 skulls in the game, and so far nobody has found the last one, IWHBYD. Remeber, you can get skulls easy and above!
sorry, i meant on NORMAL difficulty and higher. No more legendary-only skull runs. And the only person known to haev all 13 is Ske7ch, a bungie employee. He says it is “hidden in ways we cant even yet begin to imagine.” Sounds difficult.
…and to answer your question, Mandalore, you cannot kill the occupants of ANY of the Wraiths if youre looking to get that skull.
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=TrickFlow
HE HAS IT!!!!
his snap shot shows the scout helm not the ninja one.
anyone find the name ‘citadel’ odd in the map code. makes me wonder if bungie expected us to see that change. that or perhaps thats refering to the section of the level its in.
another question on my mind is are they still the ‘covenant’ ever sence the elites left? those names just stand out. perhaps hints.
thats my two cents. hope it helps.
P.s. its either in a very complex area (like very tricky to get to) or somewhere so out in the open (like behind where u start) that noone would bother looking.
For those of you who cant find the link to the code its here: http://halo3planet.com/images/IWHBYD-Skull.jpg
pay note to the names of the other objects around it in the code. that may not dictate weither or not those objects are close but it may also give a clue as to other objects required in possible steps to finding the skull.
How do i get the scout should pieces, i got we’re in for some chop but didnt get it. and can i get the needler achievement in campaign?
The ninja shoulders are unlocked by collecting some of the gold skulls… which ones im not entirely sure.
**********A CLUE********
Level: Covenant
Mission: Breach the Citadel
My thoughts: I have heard that the name does infact hold a clue to the location of the skull. I have done some research into the litteral meaning of each of the words (except “the”).
Covenant - a contract or agreement between two or more people/groups
Citadel - protective structure
Breach - a gap made in a wall or fortification or THE BREAKING OF A CONTRACT!!!
This again draws my attention to the departure of the elites from the covenant and also reminds me of a post that I read about this same skull from halo 2 being found within the vecinity of elites.
I will be looking into this tomorrow to see if it does infact lead somewhere. PLEASE try it out yourselves and see what you come up with. This could be the break we were looking for!!!!!!!
how do u unlock the EOB armor thats my fav.

ok each silver skull is part of teh hyabusa armour
so when we find the daddy we can get the hayabusa helmet
but daddy is very hard to get
and the humans and the elites would be the covennant aswell
they are 2 groups that have a agreement
Hi people this is one of the best info sites ive been to if anyone here plays conquer for computer message me as or my name all m friends call me it ive got everything on halo 3 already i got it on the first day all armor all unlocks i know everything about the skulls and wat does wat and wat achievments and skulls and terminals affects are sooo woot woot i found everything in 2 hours tops!!!!! soooo goood LUCK
and theres nothing new here that i dont know
and i dont work for bungie im twelve years old!!!!
i have the IWHBYD skull
i think there should be a direct list of what each and every skull will do for you. if anyone has one, or can make one for me, that woudl be awesome!!!! email me, rudics_man@yahoo.ca if you have a list.!!!!!!! thanks everyone!!!!!!
= lies!
I have seriously racked my brain trying to get this figured out. I have tried doing the level on Legendary, flipping skulls around, but here are the main points I have gathered about the daddy skull.
Level: The Covenent - This is shown in the hex code
Random facts I put together
There are 7 “halos” in the final room. Each has its own color /symbol on the top. Could this relate to the 7 Terminals? Legendary Terminals say different things.
According to many posts, it is believed that this 13th skull will be unlocked once a sequence of jumps through the halos is made. Some say that when the halos are first seen in the level (cut scene?) that they play a very subtle melody. I have not looked into this YET but some speculate it could be the halo theme (7 notes). It appears that Bungie loves the #7.
Does the jump sequence occur before or after the final event?
I will eventually figure this out, but as of now it is driving me crazy. Any comments or thoughts on this, feel free to send me a message in game , DarkZephyr308 is my gamertag
i got the “we’re in for some chop” award but i didnt receive the scout shoulder pads. could someone help me?
yo master chief if u have the iwhbyd skull then help the rest of the world that are trying to get it and tell us how
plz!!!
p.s i got the iwhbyd in halo 2 and yes it was extremly hard to get so maybe how u get that one might give a clue or 2 to get it on halo 3.
well the fear the pink mist acheivment DOES NOT unlock any armour.
Soooo…. Just sum varifacation…
You no longer have to only play on legendary to get skulls? (pwnage)
The exact location of the IWHBYD skull remains a mystery?
The order in which you get the skulls doesn’t matter?
Some of the acheivments don’t actually unlock stuff? (ex.we’re in for some Chop)
The meaning of life is cheese? =)
The “Hayabusa” chest and shoulder pads are unlocked by getting 9 of the 13 skulls?
U guys are awesome?
See y’all online
thanx in advance if you respond to me (i appreciate it =)
SGT Steeve out
It seems as if MAsterchief does not have the IWHBYD skull, b/c otherwise he wouldve told us…n i want this skull so friggin bad…i have the other 12…i just…want…the last…..SKULL….please leave info on how to get it
I was AFK PEOPLE AND AS FOR THE IWHBYD ITS IN A GOOD SPOT MY ADVICE ISS
FIND IT!!!
Lol i havnt found the last silver skull i just wanted to see how people would react
theres still a few skulls i need to find so if anyone could send a website with detailed descripions on all the skulls so far il ask some friends online some games and see if they know anyone at bungie or somone that has that armor
masterchief just fuck off with ur lying m8, go search and stop whining
and for
The360loop, on September 27th, 2007 at Said:
db got a source of info? if its true i would love to party up and look for it with ya
yea i had sorces..a hacked file with codes and u see many 7/ s ,,that nr returns the whole time
and it said its between the THunderstorm skull and 3th tower switch
i saved the pic
i have some info on where it might be messege me if u want to hear it
hmm i just dont like it if ppl have bigtalk and are lying u knoww..
on some other forums ppl acted like they had the skull
well where u think it is then?
sry if it took me so long to reply i had to press refresh
but heres my info
the IWBYD skull is found on the level the conevant.
in order to get the skull you need to have on all the skulls.
in order to get the skull you have to first save the hornet that is about to be dystroyed
by the anti air tank. to do this quickly shoot it once in the back panel or twice.
now proceed to kill the rest of the enemys.
once they are dystroyed youll here the ships comming in.
quickly jump on before it starts to hover out of jumping range.
this ship will sit her for quite awhile than slowly so as not to knock you off.
move tword the montians right behind the mission start. jump off when you can and go hunt for the skull
the second method which is more likely is to shoot the rescued hornet with plasma pistols
charged up. once hit a couple time it will hover down and you must jump on that instant than it will fly away to the mountians close by
you should jump off here and search for the skull.
do not try to get in the hornet or it will explode.
no thats bullshit
i alraedy read it on other forums
its just bullshit a waste of time
besides i went out of the map and on top of the waterfall
u walked untill u cant go any further
and without saving the hortet…
u can jump on the rock at the crashed plain//
and then jump on the ledge..and go right
jump again and once again
then ur ontop and walk where u want..there is a barrierfield and yea thatst he prob u cant go further
and at the place where the 2 scarabs are..i also went out of the map and the rings on top of u
when u get CHECKPOINT done..when u are with the tank…
when u destroy the enemy tank on the snowy road..then u make the turn and u see the brutevihicle coming…kill it and take a ghost
then drive ( while pressing A ) up the wall and u can go on the building pontop of u
and u can jump everywhere
and ride everywhere u want
ive been on the hunt for the skull. People have come to believe the skull is located somewhere at the end of Covenant where the Halo rings are.
How did they come up with it? More code in the hex mentions someting like Ring_skull_song and other stuff about skull in that area.
i do notice some VERY odd things in that area, but ill look tomorrow. I think i might be onto something.
Ok, this i have CONFIRMED. A member of bungie has said that this is the way to get the hayabusa armour. You need to find ALL the GOLD and SILVER skulls. When you get 5 skulls you get them body, 9 skulls for the shoulders and 13(all) skulls for the head piece. To be able to get the skulls you must play on NORMAL difficulty or higher. And start from the very beggining of level. This i have confirmed. Anyone who says they have the helmet without all skulls is lying, and i wont belivie it untill i see a screen.
Happy Hunting!!
dude////
thats old news
btw im puting live again on it now
if u want a hunt..add me

Hey, my friend has found it! there is a part in the level Covenent and in Breach the citadil. on the second tower (the one the arbiter took care of) , you must have the blind skull on and must be on legendary. anyway, there on top of the life (where you fight the brutes when you go to sgt johnsens and your own tower) there is a baraceade against the inside of one of the corridors, and there is a small gap, you have to grande crouch jump (ontop of the barrier) because there is a small space you can get into, you go in and you can only SEE it if you have the blind skull on. and only grab it on legendary. and you have to do it before the arbiter starts BI###ing at you to get to johnsons tower. After school today (im there right now) hes comming over and i will be screenshotting and video taping it. XBL tag is WHO MAHSTER you can friend me because (i dont have any skulls yet) i will be getting the all and obv showing off my new helmet and armor set at around midnight my time
NOTE: you might need all the other 12 skulls, he had them all but i dont so im going to try it with only blind first, and if thats a bust then i will achieve the other 11 and snag the helmet,
I don’t know if anybody else has mentioned this, but Ske7ch is a high ranking bungie employee. He does a lot of the podcasts. Sorry if I’m repeating, I didn’t read through all of the replies.
Yea, someone posted it earlier but it never hurts to say it again ^^ anyway, im so physced about this, since he doesnt have XBL i will be taking credit and saying it was his doing, i wonder if bungie will do anything for the person who finds it first.
Could you be a bit more specific on what tower and and where you need to jump whomaster?
thanx people =D
Emporius, that was already stated quite a few times.
Whomaster, if you could video tape it, that would be great.
Worst case just fileshare it and give us your gamertag xD
Ok, there is the tower (where you fight the brutes and deactivate the laser thing) and there are 3 of em, one you get to bash one the arbiter does and the third sgt johnson is SUPPOSED to get but u gatta go and do it, instead of going to johnsons after you get yours done go to the one the arbitor does, i dont know exactly where it is yet because i have not played and im going off what my friend has said. Apperantly near the lift (where you go upstairs and fight brutes) there is a hallway blocked off by a ammo case (the big boxes that have covy weapons at ax ammo in them) you can jump on top of it and above it there is a ledge which is only accessable with a grenade crouch jump (grenade jump and then crouch ontop of it) you can then fall behind it and inside of it is the blind skull, which you cna only see with the blind skull on and only pickup on legendary, and to get out there is a gravity hammer in the back of the hallway to bash the box outta the way (impossible to jump back through since you must “drop” down into the hallway.)
/me thinks whomaster’s friend is bsing him =D
well i will find out today
and if not YOUR ALL WELCOME
So all of this takes place in the second tower, the one that the Arbiter shut down, correct? After destroying yours, fly to the second tower and do all of that?
All of this takes place in the second tower? After destorying yours, fly to the Arbiter’s tower and do all of that?
Correct?
yea
this is my other name now cause my school is trying to block me
Lol at “its my school” ’s comment.
If they were trying to block you, you wouldn’t be on this site.
I’ve been to the second tower to access the terminal, and I’m pretty sure you can’t go inside the tower, just the front area to get the terminal, so how do you get inside it to get to that room?
I heard rumors that the skull was on the Coventant level… something to do with waiting 10mins to jump on a pelican and then hit an invisible wall… idk, but anyway i hope that whomaster does find it. I’m not trying to be the first person to find it, I just want the helmet.

Sounds like an iffy call to me, but something like using the blind skull on Legendary actually does make alot of sense
Major props to master’s friend, if it is true, and even more major props to master himself for sharing
I have the hayabusa shoulders and plate but no helmet… is that the IWHBYD skull?
Supposedly, if Master’s words hold true
I’m flying towards the Arbiter’s tower now, on normal with no blind skull, just to see if there is such an area in the tower of which you speak of
so does anyone have a list of where what skull is yet?
FALSE, just as I thought. At the second tower, the one the Arbiter destroyed, the door is LOCKED and you can NOT go inside to get to the room with the hallway blocked by the ammo crate
The significance of the second tower is the terminal and one of the skulls, but it is verified the IWHBYD is NOT there
I even looked in Johnson’s tower before going up the elevator, there is no such room
Hayabusa Chest: Collect 6 Skulls
Hayabusa Helmet: Collect 13 Skulls
Hayabusa Shoulders: Collect 9 Skulls
Its 9/28 already, cmon you fat bastards with no life! Your actually good for something for once and still you have continued to let the public down. FIND THAT SKULL!
How many times is everyone going to post what they think is the right way to get the chest\shoulder pieces
No one cares about those
It’s all about the IWHBYD skull
So gtfo
You get the Hayabusa armor from finding all of the skulls.
how do you claim a scull??? i find a scull pick it up an nothing happends??? wtf! so i tryed takin it all the way through the level an still nothin happends… plz HELP
is there anyway to get some of the Armour and unlock stuff in off line p play rather than online cos i don’t wanna pay for online but i still want the achievents for me and my friends
not much time i got to go so someone email me a preston630@gmail.com thanks!!!!!
TO FIND 12/13 SKULLS.
just go on utube or google vid. and type in halo3 skulls.
your beter off seing how to do it than words.
and to get the helm you need all the skulls, silver and gold.
every one thinks that the covanant has it then just go on “forge” on the map.
av found the skulls on the fist level and the grunt party 1 and the one on the third lv but a cant pick them up how come? am playin it on normal too
I have the HAyabusa body armor and the left and right shoulder protectors. I have no idea how i recieved these but i was greatly surprised when i did. I have all of the skulls except 3 which are IWHBYD (duh), Cowbell, and Catch. I have also heard that once you have collected all of the skulls and have beaten the game on legendary or MYTHIC that 4 more secret skulls wil appear. THis is what i heard, but you must collect all the skulls (mythic is a difficulty above Legendary with the use of the mythic skull this becomes an availability)
[...] and how to get them. They also can not find IWHBYD skull, and they also agree its on covenant. Halo 3: Where is my Hayabusa armor!? The Xbox Domain __________________ Thanks QsK Gun. GT: FoLLY A T M, for all [...]
**********READ THIS BEFORE POSTING**********
Please read all previous posts before asking how to get the armor. You are the only person who does not have the skulls because you didn’t follow the EXTREMELY EASY instructions at the top of this topic.
…Now back to more pressing matters. Now that we have found that whomaster’s theory was a bust, can someone try the one that I had mentioned on the covenant level, I’m at work until late tonight so I can’t do it myself until late tomorrow. Here is the post I got this from. Source: Halo3Planet.com
Activate “Blind” Skull.
Play “The Covenant” on “Normal, Heroic, or Legendary.”
“You will *SEE* things you never knew existed.”-IWHBYD Tag
Proceed directly to Truth(Creator of the Halos), “One must die to obtain this…”
The IWHBYD Skull will now flash in the center of the destroyed halo, “Easy to find, hard to get; Smack on the face”
With “Blind” activated you will be able to see what truly happened and the reward is IWHBYD skull.
HOWEVER, I will hint to you “ONE must die to obtain this…” ***
***Hint: Its not MC…
So I’ve heard this theory of the blind skull thing said in different ways but all agree on the one thing. Our fated IWHBYD skull is on “Covanant” and further more it would seem as though you must use the blind skull to be able to find it.
*note*-I don’t believe that the game has to be set to “legendary” since every other skull can be found on “normal”.
[...] guys over at The Xbox Domain posted a helpful little chart for Halo 3 players who want to unlock the various armor permutations [...]
i’m trying to get the scout shoulders but when i got the achievement for them it didn’t give me the shoulders. are you sure these are correct?
if anyone knows how to get the differently please reply.
I have over 750 gamerpoints in the game but I don’t have the security shoulders, what gives?
Hey, it was a bust, my friend is a freaking tard and now i hate him so much. im really sorry guys, althought i totally believe that you must have blind on since it makes alot of sense, alot of quotes come from the game and what bungie people have said that hint at it
PEOPLE STOP SENDING REQUESTS IT WAS A BUST omfg, i have like 50 msgs
that and if you wanna just talk to me im me at superjared4000@hotmail.com i got liek 30 I JUST WANNA TALK!!
Check it out guys, please don’t take this “totally” to heart, but some guys over at the bungie forums think they may have figured out another piece to this puzzle. Apparently pleople are claiming that in an official post from bungie they say that the skull will be a “slap in the face” to find. The guys over at the bungie forums say that, what if the answer is not to put the game on normal or legendary with the blind skull but instead set the game on “easy”…
TO: ViPER
Your post about TrickFlow… no he does not. I checked his gamer card at xbox.com .
Because I cant stand to see people suffer over a lost skull I bring you the location and method to finding the final skull.
The location of the final skull, the IWHBYD Skull!
The Skull is located in the level, “The Covenant”. After defeating the Scarabs, and going inside, get to the location with all 7 Ring Holograms. You must jump through the rings in a specific order. That order is as follows:
4 5 6 5 7 6 5 4 1 2 3 2 7 2 1 3 4 6 7 5 4 6 5 4 5 3 4
These rings also produce the notes:
E F# G F# A G F# E B C# D C# A C# B D E G A F# E G F# E F# D E
After jumping through them in this sequence, you will be awarded the “I Would Have Been Your Daddy Skull”. It will be right next to the bridge that brings you over to the Prophet of Truth.

So long and thanks for all the fish

The last skull:
Its after Truth is dead, you have to jump in the rings in a certain order. the numbers of the rings are from where you enter to truth 1-7. 4565765412327211346754654534 then go to the bridge and there is your skull.

Umm wtf is the rogue helmet
you list how to get it but theres no pic
is it the unknown one?
and uhh
how is there 11 different helmets when it only says 10???
You guys better be right about that ring jumping sh*t… I’m trying it the second I get home tonight.
is that true about the sequence of notes
ok, so here is what i think…
there are all these different riddles all over the internet…and i think i got one…
people have been saying “right in front of you” and bungie said “it will be a slap in the face…you will SEE what you have to have…ONE must die”
im at work so i cannot verify this, but i think…
you put on the blind skull, put the game on easy, go to covenant and kill ONE of your marines that get off with you…
the blind riddle falls in to place with this, the one must die falls into place, slap in the face because your on easy mode, and the right in front of you cause you span looking at the marines.
lemme know if this works
Well, I just spent 4 hours searching through the Covanant, with the blind skull active. Ran through the entire mission and searched every place I could get myself into and found nothing on Normal Difficulty. I even tried jumping through all those rings at the end, both on the way to Truth and on the way back out heh. I did notice that one of the halo rings was half red colored, I didnt notice that before in my first run through. Though I may have just overlooked it before. I didnt see anything unusual anywhere around it though. Any other theroies people want tested? =(
so does anybody have it yet then, or all all these people guessing as to where the helmet is?
skull*
i just did the jump through the rings in order thing and found the skull and im gona check if i got it nw but nothing came up wen i picked it up
if these jumping things are correct…where would we be able to find these numbers??? are they a serial code on the cd or are they on the xbox or waht
just go up a couple of comments to a guy called Xeon Kr8s follow his instructions
i did it on normal got the skull but it didnt wrk so id try it on legendary
[...] guys over at The Xbox Domain posted a helpful little chart for Halo 3 players who want to unlock the various armor permutations [...]
yah, how did they find out where it is?
i understand that it is correct but where were the numbers found? are they a serial, upc code or waht
Hayabusa armor is obtained by collecting skulls
Chest - 5 Skulls
Shoulders - 9 Skulls
Helmet - All 13 Skulls
=)
i no have the head :P:P
add me on xbox live…
STOPHACKINGME
me and two mates got it earlier on this evening…
is that update the location of iwbyd skull????!
when you do the sequence correct the rings will start to blink in the direciton you need to go…and all the rings will light up bright when you get it
GOD DAMNIT! WTF! WHY IS GETTING A TRIPE KILL WITH AN ENERGY SWORD SO FUCKING HARD?!?!?!? is there any certain straigty to getting the Ascetic helmet?
Is there any way to unlock all the armors without playing on Live?
I got the “We’re in for some chop” achievement and still no scout shoulder pads =[
*cough*… it works….*cough* check out my gamer card.
ok listen this is how you get the hayabusa helmet the skull is really in a weird place first get all twelve of the other skulls then you know the part where it says get on the platform to activate the bridge to get inside the building dont get in a hornet and complete that level go to the snow level after you find cortana there is a hidden cave in there is the skull now walla my friend got them all not me though so i dont know if it is entirely true but thats what he told and he does have them all i dont know the location of the cave but it is some where you would never think to find it my friend doesnt have xbox live but i do my gamer tag is J.K.Man so messege me for more info if you are stuck
ok latest update my friend just told me that the cave is located by the end of the level out of the boundaries
sorry bout the first comment i meant to say get in the hornet and go to the beggning of the level and defeat some weird looking brutes then complete the mission
ya u need all 13 skulls…i got full hyabusu wutever armor so if u need help gettin any of the skulls even the IWHBYD skull just got it today!!!! btw grunt birthda party = AWSOME
so im not sure if anyone has seen but the way to get the skull is now on the very top of this post
* Helmet: All thirteen skulls found.
* Chest: 5 skulls found.
* Shoulder Pads: 9 skulls found.
the unknown one is Rogue - just BTW
its unlocked with the spartan officer achievement.
i found and picked up all 13 skulls and have no helm to show for it ….. do u have to finish the level after picking up the skull because i just did save and quit after i got each one. i dont want to have to go back and do each one all over again …. especially the jumping through rings lol
I think the scout chest armor is the same thing as CQB
also, once you go through those rings and pick up the skull. finish the level THEN save and quit.
ARE WE SURE YOU GET THE SCOUT SHOULDERS WITH THAT ACHIEVEMENT CUZ I DIDNT GET THE SHOULDERS WHEN I DID IT
I got full hayabusa its frikkin awesome the helmet is cool =)
oh and you must have the other 12 skulls for the last one to register
i unlocked the scout shoulders today. I think you get it from TRIPLE KILL achievement.
i earned a few acheivements today which unlocked it.
triple kill
mongoose mowdown
lee r wilson
spartan officer
also. i dont know if this happened to anyone else. I had the security shoulders already, but when i unlocked the scout shoulder piece, my security pieces disappeared
I finally got the IWHBYD skull it took me like 2 tries to get it. When the Rings light up it’s the shit, I got my samerai Armor and it’s the shit too. Love, Peace and Chicken Grease
hypno what level is it on?
Head on over to my website for the definitive guide to the IWHBYD skull..

Ps…. Samurai Armour Is Very Sweet !
i have the iwhbyd skull i know exactly how to get it all of you need to find out on your own cus thats the way the hardest skull in the game works
none of you fags have the armor, and the fact you think youre fooling anyone makes you retarded as well as a lame lying geek.
also, i have the hayabusa armor, the helmet is unlocked by sticking your halo 3 disc in the microwave for three minutes.
Wow Weezus your I friggin funny one…seriously did you think that was clever?
I did the routine and got the skull IWHBYD but I did not get the hyubasa head, is there anything you have to do after you get the skull?
do u have do go thru the rings or past them and r they the rings after u kill truth?
o and witch bridge do u have to go 2 the one in front of the 1st ring and wich is the first ring the 1 closest 2 were truth died or farthest from there?
it takes forever to load and it has tracking cookies, but other than that, its fine. they have i think 10 skulls including iron skull, + a bunch of others. there pretty descript about finding them to.
For the IWHBYD skull, the sequence you’ve posted is slightly incorrect..
The “7 2 1 1 3 4 6 7″ part should be:
7 2 1 3 4 6 7
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIibZWZ82cE
Watch it be done
i just got the IWHBYD skull… i unlocked it by playing co-op we both worked together to get it but i didnt unlock the hayabusa headpiece
WDFXUP???!?
@ erick
you have to have all the gold and sliver skulls to get the headpiece
thank you, The360loop! finally somebody payed attention to an UNANSWERED question.
to unlock the Body ARmor for Hayabusa, you gotta get the Cowbell Skull, in The Ark after you fight the Scarab. I’ll post more when I get back, because I just now within the hour got the body piece.
Okay. This is confirmed…. Fact: The Hayabusa chest is unlocked after finding 6 skull. The shoulders are after 9. The head after 13. To confirm for yourself, go to Gamespot.com. They are never wrong.
The halo ring jumping technique unlocks the IWHBYD skull for sure, and I guess you must have the rest of the skulls, for the people that got it but don’t have the Helmet.
I get the whole hyabusa armor thing but my question is: i got the We’re in for some Chop achievement and supposedly it unlocks scout shoulder armor. Well, I dont have the armor, so what do I do?
it isnt working for me ive tried everything plz help
dude wtf it doesnt work i jumped through the rings in perfect order and it didnt work! damn man thats a dissapointment
to get full hayabusa (which i hav looks awsome) u need all the skulls i got mi helm after the IWHBYD skull so isnt to hard
lol also u need to kill truth and the flood before jumping through rings
Xeon Kr8s
Is the perfectly correct sequence I should know !
Check out my Halo 3 Service Record Appearance..
My GameTag is (Pittbull UK)..without brackets…
Anyone wants confirmation or guidance message me !
Lol Indeed Juicedwings! Enough Already ! Just enjoy this great game as alot of work went into it…..
You get the Hyabussa from collecting all the Skulls all of them or you don’t get it.
Halo 3 wont let me have certain skulls. I have tried on every difficulty setting, but to no avail. I pick them up, but nothing is unlocked. I wounder if I’ve f*cked up the game somehow. The first skull I found in Halo map, I beat the map wielding it for fun and I think this may have goofed things up.
any ideas?
I have Hyabussa armor, but I don’t know how I got it. But I can safely say that you don’t get it by acessing all the terminals as I have not done that yet.
I think it may be from collecting all of the GOLD (not silver) skulls because I have done that.
You get the Hayabusa armor by simply gathering all the skulls. Once you have all the gold and all the silver skulls, then you unlock all the Hayabusa armor (including the helmet). As you get more skulls you unlock peices of the armor, but to have the whole set, you need every skull.
on halo.wikia there is a description on how to get the hayabusa armor
to obtain the IWHBYD skull you only need the second half of that sequence
1 3 4 6 7 5 4 6 5 4 5 3 4
I’ts very simple to find all of the skulls. the easiest is definetly the iron or famine skull, even tilt.
btw, in order to get the hayabusa headpiece, you neeed to unlock every single skull, including silver skulls such as grunt party and cowbell
is anyone really annoyed and bothered how NO ONE ANYWHERE knows how to get the armor titled “unknown 1″ in the link below?
click on my username for the site
anyone plz tell me how to get the scout shoulder pieces. i got the chop achievement and got nothin. please help me out here
when i jump through the rings are they suppose to make a sound? cause they say that it makes a song but i dont hear any noises when i jump through….
ive done the sequence twice and it hasn’t worked..

*************!!!READ THIS BEFORE POSTING!!!*************
****************************************************************
there are still people posting that they are having trouble so because i have the full hayabusa armor, i wanna post the way i got it. first i started on the covenant level on normal difficulty, i got to the room with the 7 rings and just went on to truth. after he dies i went and made sure i wiped out all the flood just so they wouldn’t bother me. then with the ring at the elevator being #1 one and the ring near truths dead body being #7, i just through the rings in this order 1346754654534. When i did that all of the rings lit up and when i went over to the bridge that leads you to truths body, the IWHBYD skull was waiting there for me. NOW, to clarify, when i got it i had 8 gold skulls and 3 silver skulls so the IWHBYD was the 2nd last one for me and so no, u dont need all of them to find the IWHBYD skull. the IWHBYD skull is a silver skull so when you pick it up, no messages or anything will pop up. yes you do need all skulls for the helmet, 9 skulls (in either silver or gold ex. 3 silver and 6 gold or 0 silver and 9 gold) for either the shoulders and 6 for the body. no, achievements have nothing to do with finding the hayabusa armor. no, the hayabusa armor doesnt do anything other than look really bitch’en. if you really need help finding any other skulls, drop me an e-mail at d_skis@hotmail.com or message me (my new gamertag is nooGani), even tho you could probably find guides on the internet now a days. anyways thats all there is to it so good luck finding it and have fun with the armor.

but do you hear noises when you jump through.. thats what i wanna know
ive heard that you do but when i did, i didnt hear any
i did that sequnce and it worked ( 1346754654534 )and did NOT hear anything noises.. the rings start glowing in numerical order when you have done it correctly. Success now i can rest… lol thanks for the help Gani wanna do some matchmakin? lol
no problem, it was my pleasure. about matchmaking, sorry but i need to get some sleep now so im gonna log of my computer, shoot me a message or friend request and i’ll catch up with you later.
Meh, the Hayabusa armor wasnt too hard to get, someone told me that you had to jump through the rins in a specific order, and well i got bored, got it in about 4-5 hours, i already had 12 skulls ^ ^
you have to jump through the rings in this ordeer, 1 one being
