Your first mission is most likely going to be Pillar of Autumn in Halo: Campaign Evolved, and it serves as the perfect introductory level. One thing you’ll learn to get to grips with quickly is how difficult it is to find Skulls and Terminals, so let’s help you with level one.
Unless you’re brave enough to jump into the new prequel missions (which would make sense in some ways), you’ll probably be getting your Halo: Campaign Evolved journey underway with Pillar of Autumn.
The tense opening level is set aboard the titular ship, but its collectibles are a tricky taste of what’s to come.
The Pillar of Autumn Terminal Location in Halo: Campaign Evolved
The first mission’s Terminal is located toward the latter stages of Pillar of Autumn, and it’s in an easily missable room if you don’t check your surroundings properly in Halo: Campaign Evolved.
Follow these steps to find it:
- Progress through the mission until you reach the damaged control room with the damaged window, shown in the first screenshot above.
- Go through the door on the other side.
- Once through, instead of going straight as you’re expected to, turn left immediately.
- You’ll notice an open doorway for you to enter.
- The Terminal is in the back of this room.
- Interact with it to tick off the Terminal collectible for Mission 1.

Skull Location 1 in Pillar of Autumn
The first Halo: Campaign Evolved Skull for Autumn of Pillar is actually found in the starting room.
Similar to Combat Evolved’s first Skull, it’s in the tutorial room, but this one is much harder to find, unless you know how.

At one end of the room, you should see two sets of giant containers. Jump onto the set that only has two (not the three-stacked one), and you can then jump onto the overhead platform.
Walk to the end, and you’ll see Skull 1—Speed Limit.
Skull Location 2 in Pillar of Autumn
Keep following the objective icons, and the linear path will eventually take you into a large room marked as B02L.
Inside, you’ll see many large connected units (shown in the screenshot above), and halfway down the first one, you should see the Skull.
Jump up to claim Skull 2—Magnified.
Skull Location 3 in Pillar of Autumn
The third and final remnant of head is in the Bridge room, where we have to meet up with Keyes.
Once the cutscene has played out, move to the front end of the room, where two pilots are seated next to each other, with a conveniently placed ladder betwixt them.

Climb down the ladder, or jump, and at the bottom behind the ladder is our third Skull—Perspective.
This is every collectible in Autumn of Pillar done!
