Totem fragments will be cleverly hidden around Dawnshore, linking to riddles that Sanza provides you with at his shop.

If you speak to Sanza at his emporium in Hightown, he'll provide hints for the rest of the totem pieces through the Fragment of the Scales Quest Item.

Use a bow to shoot the explosive barrels near a stone wall.
