If you want to collect every trophy The Halo campaign was developedyou will need to collect all the Skulls and Terminals. Keyes is the penultimate mission in The Halo campaign was developedand it has Catch, Blind and Pinata Skulls, along with Consumed Terminal. We have the locations and effects of all of these collectibles below, but it is perhaps the first Skull, Catch, that is the most important, as it has unique requirements to unlock which we will go over below.
It is worth noting that the first Skull, Catch, can only be acquired on Heroic or Legendary difficulty and without the use of Skulls. You can start a new game and select Keyes Rally Point Alpha checkpoint to try this skull at any time.
Skull #1: Capture Location
The Catch Skull is located above the tomb elevator, but it requires you to fast-track the opening part of the Keyes mission in under five minutes. You must also be on Heroic or Legendary difficulty for this speedrun, and using Skulls will disable Catch Skull from spawning.
This can be quite a challenge, but I managed to do it by avoiding all the enemies until I reached the tomb lift. Once you're at the tomb elevator, use grenades and your guns to just kill the Covenant, and stay in the tomb elevator while spamming the interaction button. Once the Covenant targets are dead, the grave lift will activate and you will beam up. The skull will then be found on the ground when you land in the ship.
Skull #2: Blind Spot
Continue through the main objective to reach the shuttle bay, but in the first open room you find, you'll see a bunch of floods, along with some Covenant vehicles like a Ghost and a Wraith. Drop down into this large room and in the back left corner you can enter a room blocked off by a Covenant vehicle.
Crouch under the Covenant tank and go through the corridor, where you can follow it to the left to find the blind skull by a locked door.
Terminal #1: Seat used up
As soon as you enter the shuttle bay, your objective will change to “ascend to upper deck”. Ignore this and look to the left to find an open door. You can enter this room and follow down the corridor, where two hunters will attack you. After you kill them, go into the room they appeared from (on the right) to find the terminal.
Story spoilers ahead for Halo Campaign Evolved, so be careful when viewing this final Skull!
Skull #3: Pinata Location
When you find Captain Keyes, a cutscene will play. After the cutscene, turn around to face the flood infused Captain Keyes and start melee punching him in the head until a skull falls to the ground. This should take four to five melees, and even if it doesn't register as a hit, just keep doing it, and you'll find the skull on the ground.
