Thanks to the recent release of the Mythic map-pack and the freshly released Halo 3:ODST, Bungie has given players some additional motivation
to play around in the new multiplayer maps in Forge mode by hiding
skulls in them. The maps with skulls included are the formerly released
Sandbox, Assembly and Orbital. A further three maps have been
just added to Halo 3 with the release of ODST with another three skulls to find. These maps are entitled Longshore, Heretic and Citadel.
These skulls are a
little different from the campaign skulls as they do not unlock cheats
for use in the main game. They each will unlock an achievement once
found and once all 6 skulls have been found, payers will unlock one of the vidmaster challenges, required to unlock a set of the fabled Recon armor.
Assembly is a fairly small map centered around what looks to be some kind of power core. It is this central structure that is hiding the elusive Assembly skull. From the central building, look for a large diagonal support branching off from the main building, there are two of these. These structures will have an accompanying black and purple cable dangling below them. The skull is hidden on top of the cable, inside the one of the diagonal protrusions.
Find this area of the map
Using the monitor, fly up inside the structure to find the skull sitting on top of the black cable.
The Citadel skull is probably the best hidden of the ODST included maps and can be quite difficult to spot. First head for the small corridor that has the overshield. Follow the corridor to the end, you should see a pair of large blue triangles on the wall. At this point use the monitor to fly up, you should see a gap in the ceiling, the skull is sitting on top of a ledge inside the gap just behind the light here. Use the monitor to build a stack of crates, then jump up and grab it.
Make your way to the hallway with the overshield
walk to the blue triangles on the wall at the end of the hallway
The skull is in the gap in the ceiling above the light
Build a stack of crates using the monitor and jump up and grab it.
This skull is a fairly easy one to find. At the top, on either side of the room are what look to be sets of air vents. You want to get up to the platform with the sword and look to the side with the window looking out to a covenant ship. From here look at the right-hand air vent and using the monitor, place a grav lift on the platform below. Switch to your main multiplayer character and hold down the right button as you go up the grav lift to pick up the Heretic Skull.
Look for the air vents next to the window looking out to the covenant spaceships
The skull is sitting just below the vents on the right hand side
Using the monitor, put a gravlift on the platform below it. Use the grav lift to jump up and grab the skull.
Make your way to the very left side of the map and look for the red fish poster. Next to it you will see what looks to be an air conditioning duct. The skull is hidden between this and the wall. To obtain it, use the monitor to build a tower out of various crates until using your multiplayer character you can jump across and grab it.
Find the big red fish sign
Look behind the nearby duct for the skull
build a tower out of crates and when it is high enough, jump across to grab it.
The orbital skull is found in the only real open part of the level. It is sitting on a high up ledge above the only cliff in the level. To get to it, use the monitor to fly up to the top of the room and place a exit teleporter on the platform next to it. Head back down to the floor and place a sender teleporter node. Head through the teleporter and crouch to move forward and claim the Orbital skull.
In this section of the level, use the monitor to fly to the top of the room.
The skull is on one of the upper-most platforms.
Place a teleporter on the end of the platform next to the skull
Place a sender node, then , then walk through to pick it up
This skull can be a little difficult. It is outside the safe area of play, well beyond the beacons highlighting the boundary of the level. The skull itself is at the bottom of the wall in the distance between the two towers closest to the setting sun. To get it you will need to use the monitor to construct a safe passage all the way out to the wall using any hollow objects you can. If you have too much trouble, look on Bungie.com for a downloadable map capable of getting you there in 2 seconds flat!
The skull is at the wall, in the dip in the land closest to the sunset.

Unfortunately you cannot run out to grab it. The towers will destroy your face off!
Using the monitor, build a safe tunnel out to the skull using the hollow objects at your disposal.
