Throughout the game you'll see skulls on sticks. They will appear as skulls on your (mini)map when you get close to them. You can find shards with these by interacting with them. At the top of your screen you can see how many shards you can and have discovered with the ocularum you're using. In order to find shards, you'll have to move around and look for bright white lights that will only appear if you're aiming close to them. You'll need to aim the middle of your screen directly at them to discover them. Discovered shards will be placed on your (mini)map. You can't pick up shards before discovering them with the Ocularum. Pick up any of the shards that you've discovered to obtain the trophy.
You need to find all Ocularums and obtain all 114 shards for the Keymaster trophy. Bring a mage with you to the Western Approach and Forbidden Oasis if you're not a mage yourself. There are two shards in each of those regions that require you to Energize paths.
