Back in the past I have seen a person who made a very clever way to get the Sand Box Skull. He put tunnels on the ground and made a pattern to get to it as the Chief. This was back in 2008 I think it was very cleaver.
Thanks for posting this! Just got my achievements for doing this following your video, I still found it easier to overload the map sandbox but I’m sure your method works for others! Thanks for the video
This method for Sandbox has been patched, at least on console. They applied distance limitations between the Oracle(Forge Mode) and objects, as well as different physics in phasing/fixed objects. The easiest way in my opinion for the Sandbox Skull, is to simply block the opposite Guardian Tower, the tower far and directly behind you, it’s the only one the fires from behind you, while trying to go out towards the skull. If you block it with anything(I use Large Shield Doors) just set their physics to Fixed, put them right in front of the light at the top of the tower where it fires from, and blam-o! You’ve blocked the entire tower from hitting you anywhere on the map. That is assuming a different tower doesn’t fire at you. Took me less than a minute to block the top of the tower though, and then I was literally able to just fly out there and walk around and grab the skull.
It actually wasn't patched, dude. I literally did this about 20 minutes ago (I'm typing this November 21st, 2024, btw), and I'm playing on an Xbox One X. I'm not lying, they legitimately didn't patch it. The Sandbox trick used in the video still works, it worked for me, first try and all.
Easiest way to get the skull in Sandbox is to crank up the damage resistance, shield multiplier and player speed. Once in the map go in edit mode and spawn an invincibility equipment near the borders where the guardians are about to fire. Go back to player mode and use the invincibility to reach the skull.
I wish I was there for the good days but now it’s. 2020 and every one that played halo is probably all grown up and have a wife and kids but one day they’ll look back and smile at the good old days of halo. Good bye
for anyone whos wondering I did this in 2019 on halo 3 xbox 360 just now and it def works if your confused why u didn't get the brain pan achievement on 360 that's bc it has a diff name the achievements 360 name is 2 for 50g or at least thats what it said for me also I've seen alot of people saying it doesn't work on xbox one in 2019 but for that I'm not sure although I do have an xbox one and MCC i just dont have it installed and I havent tried it on mcc halo 3 xbox one.
Awesome vids. Been using a lot of them recently... subscribed! Not sure whey I didn't before. also, kudos on your explanations. A lot of youtubers aren't as specific as I'd like and you really get down to the nitty gritty with pinpoint locations and directions. Brilliant sandbox skull method btw.
An easier why that I did it is to do the map glitch by overloading the map with trip mines by setting the respawn time minimum to 1 and the respawn rate to 10 and doing that spawns a lot of trip mines to the point were everything despawns and drive a warthog to the map
I just chucked a teleporter all the way over there. You can actually get really far, if not far enough just as the oracle flying up and down dodging the lasers, i almost reached it accidentally without even trying. I managed to place a teleporter right on it anyway so just put another one then bam easy.
the sandbox strat that u showed doesnt work for me whenever you go in forge mode to try and stay inside the tube corner it tps we out of the tube corner so im not inside of it. Use trip mine strat wayyyyy easier.
I didn't need to use that box in sandbox, I just went into forge and floated over there, unforged and grabbed the skull, simple as that. I think on the original halo 3 I remember having to do something like that because of the guns but it was super easy on mcc.
Also I just figured this out, for the world traveler achievements where you play on 8 maps for each game you can go into custom games or forge end the game and it counts....you don't need to do matchmaking
Every time I grab it the camera is teleported outside of the tube and I cant see anything I try to rotate myself to get back inside. Then it always tosses me out of the tunnel when I exit monitor mode and I get shot.
That was fast. Thanks for another great guide. Without your guides my enjoyment of Halo MCC would be a lot lower.
I agree
Thanos always agrees
your guides are the best. my score on MCC would be nothing without them. how do people even find some of this stuff without a guide????
I remember doing these for Halo 3, good times..
Thanks!

Sounds fun just putting random stuff into that map

For the Citadel one, just spawn a grav lift if you cannot get into player mode in the same spot as the edit mode.
It has been years since Halo 3 came out. I helped my dad get his gamer score on his 360, a little higher with this vid. Thank you.
Onthe sandbox puzzle I must have glitched the game and it let me walk to it
Thanks man. Didn't even realize these were up until you made this video
your guides help so much and make the game fun. Thanks for posting. Sharing to my Facebook. :)
That Sandbox one was a pain in the ass 😅 Took me almost 10 min
Thanks for helping me, the sandbox one was the hardest but when I saw your method I got it thx.

Awesome. Just now completing this in 2024!!!
Same! Did all campaign skulls in CE, 2 and 3. Now the multiplayer skulls. Also got all the BLAST Soda cans. That one was pretty fun to get all those
Thx maka u have some of the best tutorials on TH-cam.
Guides are always spot on... tha k you for this, saved me hours

Can't wait for ODST :00
***** Hope 343i fixes Kikowani Station. I don't get credit. >.

I wish I was there for the good days but now it’s. 2020 and every one that played halo is probably all grown up and have a wife and kids but one day they’ll look back and smile at the good old days of halo. Good bye

@@Dude_Its_Pistachio editor mode. Click top dpad
Me and my friends just drove to it
Thanks man, I really like your vids
Thanks! Getting my steam achievements up! 💪🏻
Thank you so much! Sandbox skull is so annoying but your method is perfect
Just FYI the skulls can be moved with explosives (rockets, grenades) so those ones in tight areas can be shot out usually.
Nice and easy to follow along with you
Thanks for the video. You champion 👍👍
Am I the only one who remembers the CE magnum Easter egg in foundry?… I’ve been looking for days but can’t find a single video on it…
Awesome work!

They are 25G each on Halo 3 on BC on xbox one.
for anyone whos wondering I did this in 2019 on halo 3 xbox 360 just now and it def works if your confused why u didn't get the brain pan achievement on 360 that's bc it has a diff name the achievements 360 name is 2 for 50g or at least thats what it said for me also I've seen alot of people saying it doesn't work on xbox one in 2019 but for that I'm not sure although I do have an xbox one and MCC i just dont have it installed and I havent tried it on mcc halo 3 xbox one.
Ima try it on xbox one now but what will you get if you have all skulls?
Great video!
Thx bro this was helpful
Still useful, thank you.
These dlc maps are really good and beautiful
Thanks Again Maka
The Longshore skull had me scared lol I had to sit there with it for about 2 minutes before it popped
thx bro for the hidden skulls achievement
The tube corner for skull 3 is unnessesary as guardians (boundaries) were disabled for some reason. As of August 12, 2018.
Thank you so so much man
Awesome vids. Been using a lot of them recently... subscribed! Not sure whey I didn't before. also, kudos on your explanations. A lot of youtubers aren't as specific as I'd like and you really get down to the nitty gritty with pinpoint locations and directions.
Brilliant sandbox skull method btw.
Very helpful guide.
Will there be more halo MCC acheivment guides??
2024 pc halo ce steam and still works thanks :) Sandbox did the trip mine trick*
You Rock Maka!
An easier why that I did it is to do the map glitch by overloading the map with trip mines by setting the respawn time minimum to 1 and the respawn rate to 10 and doing that spawns a lot of trip mines to the point were everything despawns and drive a warthog to the map
Who misses this game🙁
on sandbox you can turn off the guardians there’s a map glitch you can do
As of today 24 September 2020 some achievements for steam are bugged. You will get them on the xbox gamer bar but not on steam
2019 im playing on an old xbox 360 i got 25g on all skulls except the last two i got "2 for 50g" achievement
for some reason it is not giving me the assembly skull achievement
I just chucked a teleporter all the way over there. You can actually get really far, if not far enough just as the oracle flying up and down dodging the lasers, i almost reached it accidentally without even trying. I managed to place a teleporter right on it anyway so just put another one then bam easy.
Thank you very much.
Super helpful!
Kool thanks :)
Thanks I got all the skulls on halo 3 on 360 also!
thanks helped a lot
Sitting here with the citadel skull in my guy's hands, nothing. All the others worked so far.
I suppose you've already tried to throw the skull away and then take it back.
It worked for me like this on Citadel and Heretic.
thanks again!
You don't even now how much this help
So on the map sandbox, I pick up the skull but I'm not getting the achievement. Any help ?
Ahh good times, I wish I could carry over my giant sandbox map I made before. Anyone play 1 flag Longshore all the time?
Is it just me or does every Halo youtuber use the blue achievement theme? Awesome guide btw
On sandbox there weren't any turrets for me.
Club XXX was the best and fastest way to get the sandbox skull :D
the sandbox strat that u showed doesnt work for me whenever you go in forge mode to try and stay inside the tube corner it tps we out of the tube corner so im not inside of it. Use trip mine strat wayyyyy easier.
Half the achievements never popped. Hope they do later
Mines doing that, did yours ever come up?
I didn't need to use that box in sandbox, I just went into forge and floated over there, unforged and grabbed the skull, simple as that. I think on the original halo 3 I remember having to do something like that because of the guns but it was super easy on mcc.
Robert Roskey. Yea cuz mcc disabled the boundries that killed you in forge
No the guardians still kill you
Jacob Boulay i got killed by the guardians
Also I just figured this out, for the world traveler achievements where you play on 8 maps for each game you can go into custom games or forge end the game and it counts....you don't need to do matchmaking
Huricane Orleans you can also get the Tempered Blade achievement. If you are by yourself, when you quit the game it counts as a win.
Not sure if it matters, but on sand trap the Guardains didn't shoot at me. I thought it was odd
Thanx man.
Maka you da man.
Every time I grab it the camera is teleported outside of the tube and I cant see anything I try to rotate myself to get back inside. Then it always tosses me out of the tunnel when I exit monitor mode and I get shot.
Same, did you got it?
Do I have to buy these DLC maps or do they come with the game
Thank you.
On sandbox, the skull would not spawn for me, I'm using the multiplayer ODST disc because I don't have the map pack on halo 3... I need help
same for me on the odst halo mythic
I got all 6 but I don't have brainpain
I like the trip mine method.
For those who are getting it now, use the elephant, you can't die in it
you can
Thank you
Picking assembly skull up but achievement not dropping any ideas?
I never knew multiplayer had skulls aswell
Tysm I don't know what I'd do without your MCC guides ☺️🫡
I've got the Brainpan achievement but Orbital won't unlock is this a glitch?
