Explained simply
Halo: Campaign Evolved is a version of Halo’s single-player story in which players control the soldier Master Chief as he fights the alien Covenant on the ringworld known as Halo. The game is divided into 13 levels, which can also be replayed individually through its level-select menu.
Skulls are optional hidden collectibles that change the rules of play when switched on. Some make the game easier, such as by providing unlimited ammunition, while others increase the difficulty by strengthening enemies or limiting information on screen; some are designed mainly as humorous changes.
Finding every skull is particularly relevant to players attempting completion challenges. The Legendary All Skulls On challenge requires finishing the campaign on its hardest setting with all modifiers active, while the Headhunter achievement or trophy is tied to collecting the entire set.
