The Truth and Reconciliation collectible route at a glance
This night assault contains one Skull before boarding and two in the Covenant ship’s hangars. The route can become one-way, so collect Iron before entering the gravity lift and watch timed doors once aboard. This is mission 3 of thirteen and part of the Original Campaign. Like every Halo: Campaign Evolved chapter, it contains exactly three discoverable Skulls and one named UNSC Terminal.
Use Alpha for Iron, Bravo for the two shipboard Skulls and the Inquisitor Terminal. Acrophobia from mission four makes the upper-hangar climb substantially safer on replay. Use mission replay for cleanup, choose the listed Rally Point, and check the mission counter before advancing. The four pickups can be collected across separate runs, so there is no need to force a fragile all-in-one attempt when a timed door or difficult jump fails.
Iron Skull location — Rally Point Alpha
At the gravity lift beneath the Covenant ship, face away from the beam and cross to the cliff by the illuminated tree. Step onto the rock to the light’s right and drop to the narrow lower ledge. Listen for the Skull audio cue as the route gets close, and scan above and below eye level before committing to the next objective door. Iron changes the campaign by this rule: A death restarts the mission in solo or returns a co-op fireteam to its last checkpoint.
The ledge has no safe return to the objective. Collect the Skull, confirm it registered, and expect to die or restart from a Rally Point. When the approach uses a vehicle, narrow ledge, timed door, or unusual jump, make the movement attempt before clearing every distant enemy. That preserves a quick checkpoint recovery and keeps the collectible run focused on a single repeatable action.
Endurance Spec Skull location — Rally Point Bravo
In the first hangar after the boarding sequence and marine defense, reach the upper tier by combining the central pillar, crates, and narrow ledges. The Skull is above the normal combat floor. Listen for the Skull audio cue as the route gets close, and scan above and below eye level before committing to the next objective door. Endurance Spec changes the campaign by this rule: Makes UNSC vehicles invulnerable while the Skull is active.
After the pickup prompt completes, pause long enough to confirm Endurance Spec appears in the mission collectible display. A checkpoint reload before registration can force another trip through this section. When the approach uses a vehicle, narrow ledge, timed door, or unusual jump, make the movement attempt before clearing every distant enemy. That preserves a quick checkpoint recovery and keeps the collectible run focused on a single repeatable action.
Foreign Skull location — Rally Point Bravo
In the later hangar where a dropship departs, watch the locked door on the far right. It opens briefly for Covenant reinforcements; enter before it closes and turn left inside. Listen for the Skull audio cue as the route gets close, and scan above and below eye level before committing to the next objective door. Foreign changes the campaign by this rule: Prevents the use of weapons belonging to another faction.
This is a timed doorway. If it closes before Master Chief crosses the threshold, reload the checkpoint and stay near the door during the reinforcement wave. When the approach uses a vehicle, narrow ledge, timed door, or unusual jump, make the movement attempt before clearing every distant enemy. That preserves a quick checkpoint recovery and keeps the collectible run focused on a single repeatable action.
Inquisitor Terminal location — Rally Point Bravo
Before freeing Captain Keyes, inspect the second detention room instead of entering only the objective cell block. The Terminal is inside one of the unused cells along that side route. Terminals use the standard interact command: X on Xbox, Square on PlayStation, or E with the default keyboard layout. Hold position until the interaction completes and the collectible notification appears.
The Inquisitor entry is the single Terminal assigned to The Truth and Reconciliation. Finding it contributes to Lore Have Mercy and Collector’s Addition, while collecting all three local Skulls and this Terminal completes the mission’s four-item sweep. If the prompt does not appear, move around the face of the device instead of reloading immediately.
Confirm the clean sweep before leaving
Open the campaign collectible display and verify that The Truth and Reconciliation shows three of three Skulls and one of one Terminal. The expected names are Iron, Endurance Spec, Foreign, and Inquisitor. A global total can hide a local gap, so the mission counter is the reliable completion check.
The browser tracker keeps these four checks together and saves them only on the current device. Mark an item after the game confirms it, not when Master Chief merely reaches the room. For co-op, regroup before a checkpoint and ask every player to verify the notification; shared combat progress does not always make a missed interact prompt obvious.
