The Ghost Recon Wildlands Day of the Skull challenge is different from the previous challenges because the clues are simply screenshots of the locations, and there are 21 of them making it a LONG challenge – not least because the clue images are very vague, but the size of the map means you will cover a lot of ground, and encounter many pesky enemies to slow you down. Some locations will be quick grabs without any resistance, at other locations you will have a fight on your hands before you can retrieve the skull.

That’s where this Skull Challenge Guide comes in handy, as we have identified every location on one map, and also worked out the quickest route round them all!

It’s a fun challenge, made a little simpler because with this guide you don’t have to go rooting around hundreds of buildings and finding nothing – but this will still be a challenge even with all this information, so good luck in retrieving all 21 skulls!

Wildlands 21 Skull Challenge

How to use the Skull Guide

Ubisoft released visual clues to all 21 locations during November 2017 in 3 batches. If you are finding it difficult to locate a particular skull, you can use the information below to quickly identify the mystery location that is holding you back. If you have not found any skulls yet and wish to complete the challenge as quickly as possible, you can use the map below to plan your route. If you have a second monitor we recommend putting this map up on your second screen and using it as a quick reference guide.

Each of the 21 skull locations listed below is listed in order to avoid flying back and forth over the massive Wildlands landscape.

To initiative this challenge you must first visit La Cruz cemetery ( Lat: -19.0680 Long: -59.8373) and witness the missing skulls.

From there visit each territory in the sequence shown below and you will complete the challenge in the most efficient manner. The map will get you to the approximate location, just follow the white circles which are at each skull location, and use the exact co-ordinates and verbal descriptions listed below if you need further help. Each of the images shown have been taken to include landmarks yo help with orientation and identification.

Some locations are heavily guarded, some are easy pickups, you’ll also find this information in the skull hints below if you wish to tackle the easy ones first!
