Halo 5: Guardians - Intel and Skulls: Mission 13: Genesis

Halo 5: Guardians is now available for all Xbox One owners to enjoy, and with its release comes collectibles. The game has two forms of collectibles to obtain: Intel and Skulls. Intel is scattered throughout each mission in Halo 5, while skulls will only be found for those who are committed to investigating every inch of each level in order to obtain.

We’ve gone through the trouble of documenting the locations of all of the Intel and Skulls in every mission in Halo 5. If you want to hunt the truth, you’re going to want to obtain all of these collectibles.


Mission 13: Genesis

Intel 1/10

You’ll find this piece of Intel just to the left of the area where you get the Scorpion. Look for a dead Elite and you should be able to easily spot it.

Intel 2/10

Before moving through the Forerunner security gate, keep to your left and look out for a Grunt with a special weapon. Climb up the left-hand side to find this piece of Intel.

Intel 3/10

This piece of Intel is just before the Forerunner security gate on the ridge to your left. Climb up the rocks and nab this piece of Intel before continuing.

Intel 4/10

After passing through the Forerunner security gate, turn left to spot a crashed Pelican. This piece of Intel is on top of it.

Intel 5/10

This piece of Intel can be found just after you encounter a group of knights and tanks. Look to your left to see a Forerunner platform, then jump over to claim this piece of Intel at the nearby Forerunner console.

Intel 6/10

Once you reach the Forerunner Bridge, look left and spot the rocks that look sort of like stairs. Climb up the rocks and you will find this piece of Intel at the top, resting beside a broken Constructor.

Intel 7/10

This piece of Intel can be found next to a Spartan laser just after you encounter another group of knights. Jump to the nearby ridge, and look around to spot it.

Intel 8/10

After taking on the Warden Eternal look left to spot a ledge. Jump to the ledge to find this piece of Intel.

Intel 9/10

After taking on the Warden Eternal look to your right to spot this Forerunner platform. Jump to it and you will find this piece of Intel next to a dead marine.

Intel 10/10

To find this piece of Intel you’ll need to take on the 3 Warden Eternals, and then look to the left hand side of the area to spot this console.

Tilt Skull:

This Skull can be found just after you leave the Tank later in the mission. Turn right, and head up the nearby hill. Now look to your left to spot a large rock that can be climbed onto. Climb all the way to the top, and you'll find this Skull at the very end of the cliff.
