    I did this quite easily on the first mission, Dawn, while enabling the skulls "Cowbell", "Grunt Birthday Party" and "IWHBYD" and playing on Legendary.

    Now, I know that these skulls don't really make the general play difficult and you might think they won't work for the achievement, but believe me that they do work, as I just unlocked it—much to my own surprise.

    To make matters even easier, the skulls are all available from the very beginning in Halo 4.

    So with that said, happy hunting!

    Chelski BlueDidn’t pop for me doing prologue or epilogue, pretty sure you have to do an actual mission.

    Skullduggery - 15G (Original Achievement)

    Difficulty: 3/10

    This Achievement as shown above requires you to have 3 skulls active when you clear a Campaign mission on Heroic or Legendary difficulty.

    As I used this method it is confirmed that it works. You can activate the Skulls: "Cowbell", "Grunt Birthday Party", and "IWHBYD". These 3 will give no negative side effects to you and Grunt Birthday Party will actually make it easier for you to tell if you got a headshot on a Grunt.

    The truly difficult part, lies in completing the mission in general. It doesn't matter what mission you choose, and to make things even easier, you can select the latest "Rally Point" in that level and skip ahead to that point. This is confirmed to work and will also be extremely useful in getting the "Lone Wolf Legend" Achievement, for those that are not veterans of Halo.

    TSGTDRAGONPerfect! I loaded mission 1, rally point B on Legendary and finished the and it worked. As stated, this will work for the Lone Wolf Legend achievement if you are having trouble. Thanks! smile

    In this guide I show you a glitch to beat the 6th level in 5 mins. you donteven really have to fight anything. and you can put all the skulls on if you want to. This is the best and fastest level to do this achievement.

    Davo094Lol, that's not 5 minutes. What a waste of time.

    ToxiicXDucky831If you new how to read you would see that i said it can be done in 5 mins. also if you watched the whole video then your just a silly. obviously you can skip the 10 mins of cut scenes.

    Peaches 518Being able to chop off the majority of the level definitely isn't a waste of time, especially for people like me who aren't very good at the game. This was a great help, thanks Ducky.
