Halo 2 Legendary Achievements with Scarab Skull

[Brunden]

FYI - achievements for finishing the level do not activate, but collectibles, such as collecting skulls, or easter eggs (such as cowardly grunt) do activate. This is the case for me when I had Scarab skull on, as well as the other 0.00x skulls (e.g. infinite ammo)

The bandana and scarab skull disables the progression of achievements of the missions specifically, so u might want to unselect them, you will have no trouble after that.

It;s odd how bandana did not affect H:CE but now in H2A it does. guess it was bugged and now fixed.

Bandana and Scarab will block your progress in "finishing levels achievements", Monopolized, par times and par scores. On the other side you can collect skulls, dolls, searching for Megg, what so ever...

Cowardly grunt can be done on easy without skulls.

Cowardly grunt does NOT activate. I specifically refuse to turn on skulls for these games because it seems to break all achievements. I have done cowardly grunt as a kid by accident, and many times since. So I came prepared and still didn't get it. 343 needs to fix their sad excuse for a port.

For me, I tried "The Return of Megg" three (three!) times with skulls on but did not unlock the achievement. I tried cowardly grunt twice with skulls on and unlocked it on the second try. Skull and terminal achievements unlock reliably.
