How to unlock the Phrenologist achievement in Fez - Definitive Guide

Go to the cemetery part where you have 4 maps corresponding to the 4 sides each with spaces for 4 x 4 doors (some doors are missing though).

Legend for maps:
0 = No Door
1 = Door
2= Door to enter

Enter the doors using the 4 maps in this order:

First map:
1101
0111
1100
1012

Second map:
0111
1010
1121
1101

Third map:
1110
1021
0011
1110

Fourth map:
1211
1011
1101
0111

Now you'll be taken to a room where you have to swim to a small island. Open the chest here (press X).

Achievement unlocked!

Don't know why my solution didn't work for you.

This is a great youtube video that will help with getting the Skull artifact.
I take no credit for this video.
Credit for the video goes to Gamefront.com.

I make a video for the four artefacts.
You need 4 treasure maps to resolve the enigma. One map for each face of the level. The difficulty is just the order.
Watch the video for the solution !! :)

Graveyard Zone, Crypt

This will probably be one of the last artifacts, if not items in general, you will get in your journey because of the amount of effort that goes into getting it. You will find four treasure maps that will show a grid (4x4 with missing holes in it) relating to a specific part in the Graveyard. Behind a locked door is the crypt, where all four maps are used. It doesn't matter what door you come out of as you're doing this; merely the correct door entered, in the right order, is what you need to get to the next part.

The Crypt is a room with four different sides, each bearing different doorways on each side. The order to go in, and the side you want... (I do wish I had the images myself, rather than trying to rip them off someone else's pages). I'll just use ASCII art to show you the correct order. [ I ] will indicate a doorway, whereas [ X ] will indicate a wall, and [ O ] will be the correct door.
Look for this side first, should be to the left(or maybe right) of the entrance:
[ I ][ I ][ X ][ I ]
[ X ][ I ][ I ][ I ]
[ I ][ I ][ X ][ X ]
[ I ][ X ][ I ][ O ]
4th row, 4th door is the first correct door.

Next side, turning the room around twice:
[ X ][ I ][ I ][ I ]
[ I ][ X ][ I ][ X ]
[ I ][ I ][ O ][ I ]
[ I ][ I ][ X ][ I ]
3rd row, 3rd door is the second correct door.

Next side, the entrance into the Crypt:
[ I ][ I ][ I ][ X ]
[ I ][ X ][ O ][ I ]
[ X ][ X ][ I ][ I ]
[ I ][ I ][ I ][ X ]
2nd row, 2nd door (the second door, but third in the order of the actual slots)

Lastly, behind the entrance:
[ I ][ O ][ I ][ I ]
[ I ][ X ][ I ][ I ]
[ I ][ I ][ X ][ I ]
[ X ][ I ][ I ][ I ]
1st row, 2nd door

This will take you to a bloody lake on a skull island. The chest you seek is far off in the distance, unreachable by shifting. Instead, you must actually swim across the water to get to it and open it up. Shifting until the skull looks to the right/left, head off in that direction to reach it. This will award you the cubed Skull artifact by opening it.

To find the Skull artifact, you'll need to enter the Graveyard area and enter the crypt with the locked door. You're supposed to use the 4 similar treasure maps to see what doors you're supposed to enter to find the secret artifact room, but it's so much easier just using the video below. 

Here is a great video that shows you the exact location of this artifact:

This artifact can be found in the Tomb Labyrinth location, where we get through a locked door from the Tomb itself. To get the skull, you need to solve a puzzle in the maze.
