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.

Once you get past the turrets, head under the bridge and break through a wall. On the other side of the wall is this piece of Intel.
Catch Skull:
This skull is located on the Kraken. You’ll need to head down to find one of two Banshee docking bays. To ensure you’re in the correct docking bay, face the rear of the banshees to find the greenlit hall. If the hall is to your left, then you can proceed. If it isn’t, then switch to the other bay. Once you’re in the right spot, look up and to the left to see a small platform within this room. Get in a Banshee to fly over it, and then jump out to grab the skull sitting in that spot.
Intel 10/10: Forerunner Record: Search 5/5
This final piece of Intel is located after destroying the Kraken. Before proceeding, you’ll see a forerunner platform. Get on it and look at its console to find this final piece of Intel.
