Skulls
Throughout Halo Wars are locations with skulls that can grant special abilities once you complete specific tasks. These skulls are hidden on the maps, and once you complete the task for the skull, it will flash on the mini-map. The tasks consist of killing specific amount of certain creatures. For example, to unlock the skull on the first mission, you'll need to kill 100 grunts. Once the 100 grunts are killed, the location of the skull will flash on the mini-map for a short period of time. Be sure to look out for the flash on the map, if you miss it, you'll need to track down the skull on you're own.XboxLife.com: Halo Wars Skulls -

Tutorial
- YouTube: Halo Wars Walkthrough - Basic Training Tutorial HD (Time: 4:52)
- The tutorial teaches the basics of playing Halo Wars. It's highly recommended that you play this tutorial to familiarize yourself with the controls.
- First you'll learn about moving the camera. Use the Left-Stick to follow the arrows around the map.
- Next place your cursor over the warthog. Press A and it will be added to your army.
- Now it's time to move the warthog. Move your cursor to the bright blue circle and press X. Your warthog moves to this new position.
- Continue moving your warthog to each new blue circle. The game will display an arrow indicating where the next circle is.
- At the last blue circle you'll find 4 marine squads. They join your group.
- Press LB to highlight all of your units and add them to your current group. Alternatively, you can hold down A to form the command circle. Any unit in the command circle will be added to your current group.
- Move your group North through each blue circle. At the end of the road you'll find an energy shield blocking your path.
- To get passed an energy shield, you must first destroy it's control panel. With your units highlighted, press X over the nearby panel.
- With the energy shield down, continue North.
- Just past the shield is a group of covenant elites. Press X over them to attack.
- Once the elites are dead, move your army North-East to the last blue circle.
- Here are some covenant buildings. They can't fight back, but they have a lot of health.
- TIP: Some units have special commands. To use them, simply press Y instead of X when attacking. Your infantry's special attack is throwing grenades, test this out against the nearby buildings.
- Use grenades to destroy the buildings. The tutorial is complete once they're gone.
- NOTE: There is a an advanced tutorial as well. Select it from the main menu if you wish to undertake it. Otherwise, these advanced tactics will be explained as you follow the walkthrough.
