How to enable third-person camera in Halo: Campaign Evolved—A step-by-step guide
We’ll show you where to find the Perspective skull, which is required to enable third-person mode in Halo: Campaign Evolved.
Halo: Campaign Evolved, the highly anticipated remake of the original Halo released in 2026 to celebrate its 25th anniversary, is finally here. One of its biggest new features is the inclusion of a third-person mode for the first time in the franchise’s history. However, this isn’t an option you can enable before even starting a new game; you first have to find the corresponding skull. Here’s its exact location:
Where to Find the “Perspective” Skull in Halo: Campaign Evolved to Activate Third-Person Camera View
Although the Halo franchise has always been known for offering nonstop first-person action—becoming one of the genre’s leading titles since its debut back in 2001—at certain times—such as when driving a vehicle—the camera switches to a third-person perspective. However, Halo: Campaign Evolved lets you play the entire campaign in a third-person view if you find the Perspective skull.
This collectible item is located very close to the start of the first mission, called “Pillar of Autumn.” When you reach the bridge to speak with Captain Keyes, if you look closely, right at the bow of the ship—behind the screen where Keyes is standing—you’ll see two pilots suspended in the air in their seats and a set of stairs leading down to a lower deck. If you go down those stairs, you’ll see the skull on the floor; you can’t miss it. If you’ve already completed the mission, you can start it from Rendezvous Point Bravo to begin directly on the bridge of the Pillar of Autumn, which will speed up the process of obtaining it even further.

Once we have the skull in our possession, to activate it, we must do so from the menu before selecting missions, whether in Standard Campaign or Remix Campaign mode. Once this is done, when we enter the game itself, we’ll enjoy a third-person perspective—a brand-new way to experience Master Chief’s adventures that lets us better appreciate the level of detail in his armor and offers an unexpected advantage: the wider field of view can make things easier in missions dominated by the Flood, since they tend to attack us from all directions.
