I searched around - didn't find a post about this ... I've tried this mission a couple times, killed all the stalks - the skull appears and I can see it!  But I can't get anything up there to take it?  I sent air units, and they wouldn't pick it up.  My ground units can't seem to get up on the plateau?

 Is this a known issue?  Am I missing something really obvious?

 Wily 

I have grabbed this skull using air units myself, so it should be possible. Have you tried turning the camera angle around and zooming to get a more accurate lock on to it? Making sure you're not accidentally hitting the wrong button like A by mistake?

did you just send one air unit? if you send more than 1 then they sometimes miss it. sometimes you have to move the unit around a little and then send it to pick it up.

Well, I don't know what I did wrong before, but with your encouragement, I tried it again and this time my air units picked it up just fine.  Thanks!!!

i got mine with one hornet
