How to unlock the Catch achievement in Halo 3 - Definitive Guide

Level Obtained: "The Storm"
Effect: "Pull pin. Count to three. Throw." -- Every NPC carries two grenades and throws them often.

I thought that this was one of the hardest achievements to get, but I found this video on YouTube that helped me and I hope it'll help you. The pedestal that the skull resides upon is too high to jump too alone; you have to grenade jump off a warthog (or ghost if you have it).

One of the big problems with this skull is that if you destroy the two wraiths that are in this area, the skull will disappear, so the only way that you can get this skull is in the middle of being shot at.

Anyway, I used this video to help, and I hope that it helps you too. Regardless of the help, this one still took me longer than any other skull.

If you have trouble grenade jumping you can set up a ghost and ride the warthog up onto it. This gave me enough height to reach it

destroy the anti-air tank, but dont destroy the wraith. i pushed part of a blown up ghost infront of the tower then with the warthog i ran into it full speed getting the warthog on top of it creating a little ramp. Just as i grabbed the skull i was blasted through the air as the achievement popped "catch" lol. this was done in co-op on legendary.

This worked very well for me. You can see in the video, but it is worth pointing out, that you should be looking down at the ground when throwing the grenade (not straight out in front).

My advice is to try to time the jump with the explosion as close as possible, and it should be a piece of cake

Level: The storm

Location: The first area you come across that you have to eliminate the anti-aircraft tanks there is a round building in the toward the far end of this area, the skull is on the roof of this building.

**NOTE** THE SKULL DISAPPEARS WHEN YOU DESTROY THE WRAITH/ANTI-AIRCRAFT TANKS - FIND THE SKULL BEFORE YOU DESTROY THE TANKS**

I would recommend doing this on Normal mode so that you survive the 'grenade jump' and so you don't get pummelled by the tanks!

(Probably) the easiest way of doing this is on Co-Op mode. Kill/Destroy every enemy excluding the tanks. The mud is slightly higher on one side of the building go to this side.

Have one player stand against the building looking towards the floor, and another player jump onto this player. Have the player on the bottom throw a grenade towards the floor, just after this the second player should jump - this will give them more than enough height to get onto the building roof.

I tired the others I just couldn't do them right, especially the Grenade Jump. What I did was I took 3 Ghosts, and rammed them between the back of the silo, and the back wall. One was left standing on the front end. So I jumped on top of that one, and then did a crouch jump from there. FINALLY I landed on top of the silo, and nabbed the skull for the cheivo.

Funny though I took the skull over to the other Wraith with me, dropped it, killed the Wraith, and the skull still disappeared.

Awesome solution bro! I tried numerous attempts of jumping off the warthog and just couldn't do it. I got it on my first try using your solution.

Find the same, simple :) Using LT for boost the third Ghost and place it "over" others.

Thanks man I couldn't make a high enough pile with the Warthog and Ghosts from the outer wall of the silo. Did your method with just two Ghosts. Brilliant. I kicked the skull down the canyon after I got it and the wraith on top tried to shoot down there, hilarious 😂

Mission: The Storm
Effect: "Pull pin. Count to three. Throw." -- Every NPC carries two grenades and throws them often.

You can get this by performing a grenade jump off a warthog, or grab a ghost and go back to the ramp from which you first came out, using the ghost to push a big square crate back over to the front of the silo that the skull is on top of, then use the box as a place to jump from.

Note: Destroying the second wraith by the door makes this disappear.

Refer to "Mythic" for a video of all the skulls.
