This achievement perfectly represents how creatively empty Halo 5 is. Copies what other Halos did but to a tedious and pointless extent.

For anyone who's still doing this, don't forget that you can view which audio logs you've collected in a mission by pausing the game and selecting the mission intel option. For some reason I completely forgot you could do that until I was a few missions in

A good amount of effort has gone into all these solutions, but yours is my favourite because not only have you created an index, but you also stated the name of each piece of intel. That is very important when all you need is help finding the last elusive few.

Should I see progress in the Achievements app? My Gravelord progress goes up, but Hunt the Truth is at 0%, even though I'm at around 30/117.

Excellent guide, upvoted. There's an error, though: Most of the 15th mission youtube-links have identical timestamp, namely 0m00s.

Excellent guide as always Maka. Only thing I wanted to give you a heads up on. on mission 14, the breaking, you have the same one listed twice. The first one [0:55] – Forerunner Record: Threat 4/5 is actually Forerunner Record: Threat 3/5. Your vid says the same thing, but figured id give you the heads up soz you could update the description if you wanted. Thanks again for all your amazing videos!

In missions 7 there´s also a small mistake, in the vid and your guide.

The two should be switch around:

If you are playing in co-op, only one person has to scan intel. Video includes links to skulls guides if you are in the same location (mind that Iron Skull requires Legendary difficulty).

Yeah, it'd be appreciated if you could just add the skulls into the same video, it's not necessary to have each one as an external video.

I missed the last intel in Battle of Sunaion because of that. I got the 7th intel, then the video linked to the skull which I proceeded to grab, and in turn, progressed to a point of no return for the 8th intel because I thought the path would take me in the correct order! If anything, the Skull link should appear after collecting the 8th intel. Very misleading. Downvoted for the piss off.

It is worth noting that pressing cn_down will send out a "ping" it will make a dinging sound if you are near the intel, and will mark it by a sphere. I didn't know this until the fourth mission and makes finding the intel much much easier.

If you are playing in a party only one person has to pick it up. It can be anybody!! this rule applies with skulls as well.

DragonPwnr99 is mostly correct, this will NOT work on any of the Blue Team missions. This is because only Fireteam Osiris is equipped with the Artemis Tracking System which produces the "ping" and sphere.

I wanted to include all intel AND skulls into one easy-to-use video for those that are interested in that sort of thing. Rather than timestamp each individual item, I've included timestamps of each mission's starting point below. If enough folks express interest, I can copy and paste the written directions to each mission into this solution (roughly a paragraph or two for each mission, directing you on where they all are) from the Walkthrough, although it should be published today.


Mission 1 starts at 00:07
Mission 2 starts at 02:30
Mission 3 starts at 05:09
Mission 4 starts at 08:57
Mission 5 starts at 10:51
Mission 6 starts at 13:19
Mission 7 starts at 18:17
Mission 8 starts at 21:21
Mission 9 starts at 25:41
Mission 10 starts at 28:13
Mission 11 starts at 31:29
Mission 12 starts at 33:11
Mission 13 starts at 35:56
Mission 14 starts at 39:00

Here is my FULL collectibles guide. Additionally, there is a thread on a forum, click here . Halo 5 Guardians has a total of 130 collectibles (117 Intels / 13 Skulls). All collectibles are saved automatically when picking them up. If you miss one of these collectibles, just load the respective chapter.

I have one video for each mission. The videos show BOTH collectibles in progress of the mission. You see the counter for the mission collectibles, the kind of collectibles and the name of the specific item which is currently collected in the left upper corner.

The spoilers contain the videos and the timeline for the mission.

Mission 1 - Osiris

Mission 2 - Blue Team

Mission 3 - Glassed

Mission 4 - Meridian Station

Mission 5 - Unconfirmed

Mission 6 - Evacuation

Mission 7 - Reunion

Mission 8 - Swords of Sanghelios

Mission 9 - Alliance

Mission 10 - Enemy Lines

Mission 11 - Before the Storm

Mission 12 - Battle of Sunaion

Mission 13 - Genesis

Mission 14 - The Breaking

Mission 15 - Guardians

There is 117 intel pieces to collect across 15 missions. I have made a guide for each mission showing the exact location of all the intel and the skulls in order for you to follow.

I hope this guide helps you collect all of the intel in the game!

In total, there are 117 pieces of intel spread across each of the 15 missions within the Campaign. These intel items (research notes, audio logs, UNSC documents, etc.) can be usually found off the main path of your objective, though not as intricately hidden as the skull collectibles. Still, it will take a keen eye and some exploration in order to track them all down.

While playing as Fireteam Osiris, all four Spartans can utilize Artemis Tracking () to scan the battlefield within a 40m perimeter. If a collectible is nearby, the controller will vibrate slightly and you will hear a persistent pinging sound; the vibration and pinging intensifies the closer you are. On top of this, collectibles will generate a medium-sized "digital bubble" when the scanner is used, essentially acting as a means of spotting the intel with ease from a distance. Unfortunately, this ability is not available to Blue Team so deeper exploration during their three missions will be required.

If you’re keen on keeping track of your progress and are revisiting missions at a later time for collectible mop-up, you can refer to the collectible counter for each mission in the Campaign Lobby Menu. Additionally, collectibles can be tracked on-mission by opening the "Mission Intel" option in the Pause Menu. Once all 117 pieces of intel have been collected, this achievement will finally unlock.

Please refer below to "Gravelord" for a video playlist guide that covers both sets of collectibles (intel and skulls).
