IWHBYD Skull
IMPORTANT: This Skull has yet to be found! Help contribute in our IWHBYD Skull Discussion Post!
Skull Effect: Unlocks hidden dialogue throughout Halo 3’s campaign.
Skull Location:
The IWHBYD Skull has been found! After countless hours (ok, maybe not countless…) from the Halo3Planet Community, we finally present you with the location of the final skull, the IWHBYD Skull!
IMPORTANT! START FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE MISSION, ON NORMAL, HEROIC, OR LEGENDARY IN ORDER TO GET ANY 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 (1 is at the entrance, 7 is at the end):
[Update: Max Fightmaster pointed out that only about the last half of the sequence is needed. Thanks! Now it's been confirmed that only the last 7 notes are needed.]
4 6 5 4 5 3 4
These rings also produce the notes:
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.
NOTE: YOU MAY NEED TO KILL THE PROPHET OF TRUTH, AND THE FLOOD BEFORE DOING THE RING JUMPS!
Great work Everyone!
Special Notes:
This skull was found with the help, investigation, and research of the entire community, not just a few people. We’d like to thank everyone for their participation in the Skull Hunt!
When you jump through the final halo, the rings will start lighting up in a linear fasion. Go grab the Skull over at the Bridge that connects to the Control Panel. When you grab the skull, all of the rings will start playing the main Halo Theme Song.
You can work as a team in co-op with 2-4 players jumping through the rings to speed up the process. Just make sure that the rings are jumped through in the correct order as a team. It really speeds things up this way.
If you mess up, you can start the sequence over without restarting the mission.
Some people believe that you may need to finish the level to get the skull. It’s worked both ways according to reports.
And here is a video. It’s very long, and we messed up the sequence once on accident, but this is it!

Currently, the IWHBYD (I Would Have Been Your Daddy) Skull has still not been found by the public. Only members of the Bungie team know the location of the final Silver skull in the game.
However, from anonymous tips and comments from members of the Bungie team, we have learned a few things. First off, according to the game files, The IWHBYD Skull is located on the level, “The Covenant”. In the game files, the level is actually called “citadel”, and as you can see in the pictures below, that is where the skull is hidden.

According to a member of the Bungie team (Tyson Green, or ferrex):
“…IWHBYD is hidden in ways you cannot yet even imagine. It’ll be a while, unless someone at Bungie leaks it. Good hunting, gentlemen.”

Tyson Green also confirmed that the Hayabusa, or “Samurai” Helmet is unlocked with the skulls. So once again, Happy Hunting!
