There are three Crystal Shards to collect, each located in some of the later episodes of the game.
1) Crystal Shard #1 location
Encountered in Episode 11, the first Crystal Shard will be in a crate. It is located in a section with two green, shield-wielding triceratops-headed foes. Take them down and destroy the second box from the top to grab Crystal Shard #1.
2) Crystal Shard #2 location
Episode 13 has two boss battles. After the first one, players will take an elevator and make their way across the crumbling sections of the facility. Jump across a gap located after the lasers and a lone crate can be seen sitting near the top of the screen. Break it open to find the second Crystal Shard.
3) Crystal Shard #3 location
The third and final Crystal Shard sees players visit Episode 15. Proceed past the spikes on the floor and take note of a couple of crates surrounded by explosive barrels. Crystal Shard #3 is inside the crate to the bottom. Be wary of the explosives, as they may hurt the player.
