All five Shard locations in Counting Sheep
#1 Hungladder Shard
Eliminate all the enemies in the village, and make your way to the center of the village. There you will find a narrow underground corridor below a bridge. Head inside to collect the shard.
#2 Fairy Pools Shard
The Fairy Pools Shard is behind the waterfalls. First, go behind the waterfall, but won’t be able to find the shard there. Turn around and you’ll see an old lady near the waterfall, who wants to sacrifice you to the fairies. Fight with her and wolves to collect the shards or pay her 500 gold.
#3 Excavation Site Shard
This shard can be found next to the excavation site, as marked on the map. The Shard is behind a breakable wall. You do need to find explosives to break the wall. You can look for an explosive jar next to a broken-down cart along the southern road of the same area.
#4 Dun Ardtreck Shard
Go to the eastern coast of the bandit camp as shown on the map. Swim close to the rock formations and dive underwater. Use your Odin sight to locate the shard in the submerged ruins.
#5 Brother’s Cave and Inverarish Shard
The Inverarish Shard can be found on a smaller island across Kilteraglen. First, go inside Brother’s Cave to find a note that read – two brothers stole the item.
Now go south of Inverarish and check the note inside a large house that gives clue to go into the forest. Use your Odin Sight and follow the footsteps heading northeast. This will lead you to a wooden platform and a couple of bears hanging around. First, shoot the winch to drop the hanging stone and then climb up the wooden platform to collect the shard near a corpse.
