Assassins

Assassins is a skull in Halo 2 and Halo 2: Anniversary.

Location
Immediately after the gondola ride following the battle with the Hunters, there will be a building with two turrets on it. Enter the building and turn to your right. There will be a box, jump on it. From there jump to the adjacent light fixture, then to the ledge. The ledge leads to the area with the two turrets.

Once there, Grenade Jump to get onto the roof area. Then, using Crouch jumping and/or Grenade Jumps, follow the right side perimeter of the building. Once you have gone as far as you can go you will find a small grassy area with two Stealth Elites holding Energy Swords (one can be assassinated the other cannot) in their "angry stance" and the Assassins Skull between them.

Effect
Enemies have a higher rate of fighter and will use them more. Thus enemies will tend to use their weapons, even being on close range. This voids any tactic with getting enemy hunters or elites to go into a melee attack to avoid them shooting.
