For your reference: Shard of Fear map
After finding Ernie's goggles, you receive this quest:
"While investigating the terrifying Shard of Fear, I found a pair of Gnomish goggles that should allow me to see the tortured souls of adventurers that are trapped in the shard. That is, if they still work!"
If you have not done so already, equip "Ernie's Incorporeal-Visual Activators", hereinafter referred to as "the goggles" for obvious reasons. It will be placed in your head slot.
With your newly enhanced vision, you can see new mobs, called Tortured Adventurers. Try talking to them, and you will gain hints that they are missing parts that keep their spirits trapped in the Shard of Fear.
You can take the goggles off now, if you choose.
You now have three objectives:
1. I am not sure of what is so important about the bone towers.
The Skeletal Master (74^^^): the first one you come across, near the goggles in the Swale of Viscera. The location is +290 +17 +323.
2. We need to defeat the bone towers.
The Skeletal Destructor (74^^^): follow the road from Fear Gate to the east, and find the tower off to the right of the road in Scareling Bogs, at -219 +32 +419.
3. We need to defeat the bone towers.
The Skeletal Lord (74^^^): take the road from Fear Gate northwest, bear right when it forks and follow it to the fire wall. Turn left and you'll find it in Terrock's Bite, at +210, 11, -273.
Defeating the bone towers involves first killing the bound servants, the Fetid Fiends (73^^^ and groups of 72^^).
After the Fiends around each tower have fallen you will see the text message, "You feel a presence nearby", and a Skeletal overlord will appear within the tower. Yep, you have to take them on too!
If an overlordy type thing does NOT spawn within the tower, then you have missed a Fiend. Send a tracker looking for them, and clean up the mess afterward, hehe.
For each skellie boss defeated, you will receive a heart of fear and a corrupted mind. They do NOT automatically appear in your inventory; you must loot them from the skull with a dagger in it, found on the floor in the tower after the mini-boss falls.
Don't bother trying to give the heart and mind to the ghosts; they would not know what to do with them. Keep them instead... for later.
NOTE: If you should accidentally destroy or otherwise lose the pieces, they will appear in the same place for you, for as long as you have this particular quest active.
Your quest journal will now update with "The hearts and minds taken off the huge skeletons must be important!"
4. We must venture further within the Shard of Fear and investigate this plane more.
- In his journal, Gimblelock spoke of the Amygdalan sculpture wells. They may have some significance.
There are two such wells within the Shard of Fear. Travel to the closer one, at +258 +59 -26, being careful not to get too close.
Just off to the southeastern side of the road at that point, you will see a small piece of paper flapping on the ground. Pick up the torn journal page and your quest will complete!
"I now have a closer understanding of the importance of the bone towers in the Shard of Fear, and have found another page of Ernie Gimblelock's journal."
The torn journal page will offer the next quest, "With a Heart of Fear".
