Halo CE in MCC: both skulls and the terminal on Halo

Halo CE in MCC: both skulls and the terminal on Halo Mission-two locations and light route spoilers. For **Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary in The Master Chief Collection**, not the 2026 Campaign Evolved remake. This mission has **two collectible skulls, Mythic and Boom, plus Terminal 2**. You can get all three before reaching the later part where you're driving between groups of survivors. The order is straightforward: waterfall, ledge above the tunnel entrance, then the terminal inside that tunnel. **Before you start** Pick **Halo CE → Halo**, the second campaign mission, and start from the beginning. **Easy works for all three pickups.** There is no reason to turn this into a Legendary run unless you're combining it with another goal. Use **Anniversary/remastered graphics** so you can see the collectible skulls and identify the terminal. Leave optional skull modifiers off for a simple collection run. Having Mythic or Boom available in MCC's modifier menu does not mean you've already collected its physical skull or earned the associated achievement. **1. Mythic: the waterfall near your crashed lifeboat** After leaving the lifeboat, look toward the waterfall in the starting area. Before following the main escape route away from the crash, head over to the water at its base. You're looking for the **large boulder beside the waterfall**. Move around the rock to the narrow space between it and the cliff. Mythic is tucked behind the boulder, in the shallow water on the waterfall's right-hand side when you're facing it. Don't spend time trying to get behind the falling sheet of water or climbing to the top of the falls. The rock is the landmark you need, and the skull is down beside it. Walk over it to collect it. The MCC achievement is **Skulltaker Halo: CE: Mythic**. If the Covenant are already making this awkward, deal with the immediate threat before checking the rocks. That's just a safer way to search; killing a particular wave isn't a special requirement to make this skull appear. **2. Boom: above the tunnel entrance, not inside it** Continue through the opening rescue encounter until the Pelican delivers the Warthog. Follow the route toward the large entrance into the underground Forerunner structure, but **stop before driving down into the tunnel**. Get out and look to the **right of the entrance as you face it**. The ground gives you a narrow grassy route up along the rock wall. Follow that higher ledge while keeping the cliff close beside you, working around toward the space directly above the tunnel mouth. Look around the pair of pine trees on this ledge. Boom is on the ground there, near the second tree as you follow the ledge toward the entrance. You should still be outside, overlooking the tunnel approach. This is a walking detour. You don't need to launch the Warthog, use a grenade jump, or turn on a flight modifier. If you've gone well into the dark interior, you've passed the turnoff. Walk across the skull to collect **Skulltaker Halo: CE: Boom**, then return to the Warthog and enter the tunnel normally. **3. Terminal 2: take the lower detour before the jump** Drive through the opening stretch of the tunnel until you reach the small gap that the Warthog can jump. **Don't take the jump yet.** This is before the much larger chamber where you need to activate the light bridge. Stop and check the lower route beside the jump. Follow the descending path into the recessed area and its short side alcove. At the far end is a **bright yellow, glowing terminal**. Get out of the Warthog if necessary, approach it and use the interaction prompt to open it. The achievement is **Sacrifice**. After activating it, return to the driving route, take the small jump and continue toward the light-bridge room. The distinction between those two places matters: **this terminal is not the switch that creates the light bridge**. Watching a terminal video doesn't solve the bridge obstacle farther ahead. If you're already standing in the big bridge chamber looking for this collectible, you've gone past its alcove. **Check the three items separately** - **Mythic:** starting waterfall, behind the large boulder. - **Boom:** grassy ledge outside, above the tunnel entrance. - **Sacrifice:** yellow terminal in the lower alcove before the tunnel jump. If you missed one, you can replay this mission without restarting the campaign. For the least confusing cleanup route, start from the beginning and stop at the landmark you need. Check your achievement list before repeating it, especially if you didn't see a notification. MCC's skulls reappear on later mission runs, so their presence isn't proof that your previous pickup failed. And keep the edition straight: a Campaign Evolved guide will send you after a different set of skulls. These are the Anniversary/MCC locations.
