Scarab Mangling -[Halo 3 ] Having trouble with a Scarab? Or maybe you do not want to get on board (and abandon your bright, shiny Scorpion). Try this strategy instead: on the back of every Scarab, there is a circular glowing spot you can shoot to do damage (it is similar to the glowing spot on the back of Wraiths). Locate the spot on the Scarab's rear armor that is below its rotating anti-air "ass" (or abdomen) turret. A few shots from Hornet missiles or Scorpion tank shells and the armor will fall off and reveal the critical system you normally need to board to wreck. Don't forget that shooting the Scarab's legs will stop it from turning.

Hayabusa Armor -Halo 3 Collect the listed number of Skulls to unlock the piece of Hayabusa Armor:
Q: Now, look, I know that there are just about 20 Q and A's about the catch skull, but still, i've done EVERYTHING those guides said, I didnt kill any wraiths, looked with the sniper rifle at the beggining of that part, but the catch skul ISN'T THERE! I heard that you gotta do all of campaign on normal or harder to get it, but that doesn't work for me either! what do you think is happening, do you think its a glitch, and if so, how do I fix it? thanks for listening
Q: What does the IWHBYD skull really do or does it even do any thing my friends told me it makes the bad guys faster but I doute it can you help?
A 1:
Makes any dialouge in campaign thats not in cutscenes different.(most of the time funnier, too
A 2:
I even asked a libriean they said it makes them faster
A 3:
The "I would have been your daddy" Skull makes dialogue different, or just makes the marines/Arbiter say funnier things. I remember when a marine said "THIS IS SPARTA!" Lol xD
A 4:
The IWHBYD skull changes what the marines, elites and arbiter say and most of it is funny
A 5:
It unlocks xtra speech. by the way, did you know that the IWHBYD skull actually means I WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR DADDY. so, basicly there is no IWHBYD skull. its just a short abrivation for I would have been your daddy because its too long to fit on the page.
A 6:
It satnds for: I Would Be Your Daddy. It makes people say more funnier things, and hidden diolouge is found
A 7:
For an example on the second level in the barracks when you kill a brute instead of it saying you killed my freind they will say things like that was my lover or you killed my bed mate also in the beggininng of the game instead of johnson saying they must love the smellof green he will say they must love the smell of a bad**s lol
A 8:
It makes them say funny things like once I killed a brute next to a brute and he said that was my mother
A 9:
I make hem say diffrent phrases like "this is sparta!"
Q: Ok, I know I can get a passenger warthog on the pit but every time I teleport outside of the gate, I die and it either says "killed by gurdians" or "commited suicide" help ME!?
Q: First of this is like more of a opion than a question on a scale of 1-100 what is your rateing of halo 1 2 3 raeting the wepons the vehicls secrates story and the hole sereys of halo?
Q: Is there really a skull that allows you to play as Brute Chieftain? If there is, is your armor and shield stronger and do you have any other advantages?
