Intro
I was getting all the skulls and kept really wishing I had a guide to reference. Decided to just make my own. As such, a lot of early skulls and some later ones I don't have screenshots of because I already collected them. Also important to note, if you don't see a level mentioned in this guide, it's because that level doesn't have a skull.

Enough wasting time though, you're here for skulls.
The Orb
Play through the level as normal until you reach the end. Turn left at the orb and climb the ledge.
Around the corner you'll see a wooden post sticking off the tower with the skull resting next to the chair.
Sharp Blades
I collected the skull for Sharp Blades on my initial playthrough, and seeing as skulls don't respawn once you've collected them and finished a level, I don't remember where exactly the skull was. I'm pretty sure you'll find it in one of these two places near the end of the level, but if someone could let me know for sure I'll shout you out here.

Play through the level as normal until you reach the area with the orb. Look left and dash to the sword stuck in the wood and the skull may be up there waiting.

If not, it'll be up at the very top of the map next to this chair.
The Swarm
The skull is on top of the structure on the right side of the arena. You can jump up there by throwing a sword near the top and dashing up to it.
Rope Swinging
Play through the level as normal until you reach this rope.
The skull will be on top of the post it's hanging from, waiting on a crate.
Grappling
Play through the level as normal until you reach this area.
Look up and to the right, you'll find an alcove high up in the wall. The skull waits within.
Blessed Ones
Thanks to Astro X for finding this one!

Play through the level as normal until you reach this spot.
Look up high and to the right, you'll spot an alcove above the spikes. The skull will be waiting inside.
Switcheroo
Play through the level as normal until you reach the end. Instead of grabbing the orb, slide underneath this wooden wall.
Once you're through, turn left to find a long gap you need to clear. Throwing a sword into the side of the wooden platform helps here. Once you're across, you'll find the skull waiting around the corner.
Explosive Nature
Play through the level as normal until you reach the end. Look up to the left of the orb and you'll see a hook leading to the very top of the level where the skull will be waiting.
Pound Gate
Play through the level as normal until you reach this area.
Turn right instead of going straight and you'll find a gate you have to break open with a parkour strike from your sword. The skull is resting on a crate behind it.
Ascension
Play through the level as normal until you reach this area right before the orb.
Turn left and walk through the passage near the chain you rode up on to discover a couple hooks that will take you to the very top of the map where the skull waits.
Apex Gates
Play through the level as normal until you reach the end. Climb to the top of the wall behind the orb and look over the edge on the other side.
You'll find the skull waiting on a small wooden plank down below.
Swift Shadows
The skull is right at the start of the level. It's resting on top of the post the first rope is hanging from.
You can swing from the rope and double back on to it again to reach it.
Ramp Boost
Play the level as normal until you reach the end. Look to the left of the orb and you'll see one of those spooky eyeball things.
Shoot it with a parkour charged bow shot and it'll launch you into a rope that will swing you up to where the skull is waiting.
Warding Flame
Play through the level as normal until you reach this spot.
Instead of grabbing the bow and swinging across, look around the corner to the left. You'll just barely spot the skull resting on a post sticking out of the wall. You can reach it by throwing a sword and dashing to it.
Hallowed Light
The skull is up high near the very top of the level. Look to the left of the arena and you'll spot some hooks leading up the wall.
Follow them and you'll find the skull resting on top of a box tucked into the corner of an alcove.
The Lancers
The skull is high up on the far side of the arena, on top of the wooden post spanning the gap between the towers.
Use the hook on the wall and the skull is yours.
High Walls
The skull is near the start of the level just past the first enemies you encounter. Look high and you'll see a wooden platform high up in the corner.
The skull will be waiting in an alcove next to it.
Strong Stance
The skull is near the start of the level just past the first enemies you encounter. Look straight up and you'll see a platform very high up near the ceiling.
Use the jump pad and the wooden post to help reach it and you'll find the skull waiting.
Rising Vertigo
Play through the level as normal until you reach this spot. Look up to the left of the spooky eyeball and you'll see a ledge.
Reach it, and climb the shaft inside to find the skull waiting at the top.
Cold Blood
Play through the level as normal until you reach the area right before the orb.
The skull is on the tower to your right. Climb it and you'll find the skull looking down at the orb.
Hunted
Play through the level as normal until you reach this spot.
Head inside the tower and look straight up. You'll see a thin platform up high near the ceiling. You'll find the skull resting on it.
The Heavies
Jump off the left side of the arena and you'll spot a grapple point leading to a teleporter under the arena.
Once on the other side, you'll spot the skull waiting on the other side of a gap.
Ballistas
Play through the level as normal until you reach this area near the start.
Look over the edge on the left side of the area and you'll spot a wooden platform you can jump down to. The skull will be waiting there.
Trapped
Play through the level as normal until you reach this spot.
Instead of proceeding to the jump pad, turn around to your right and find this suspicious alcove. The skull is inside on a small wooden plank.
Overwhelmed
Thanks to Astro X for finding this one!

This one is tricky.
Play through the level as normal until you reach this spot with all the spiders.
Once the spiders are dealt with, look over the side of the bridge closest to the wall. The skull is down there, at the bottom of the map.
Drop down until you see the wall open up. Wall kick at the last second to propel yourself toward the platform where the skull is resting on a box. Focus mode helps for this.
Ballista Glide
Thanks to Astro X for finding this one!

Play through the level as normal until you reach this spot.
Turn around and look over the edge. You'll spot the skull down below, waiting on top of a pillar.
The Crown
Play through the level as normal until you reach this spot.
Instead of jumping into the teleporter, cross to the other side and break the small wooden floor in the center of the pillar. You'll find the skull waiting beneath.

I'm confused, I have all the skulls from this guide, and I just did the last parkour trial. The achievement showed up and everything, but I don't have the achievement for finding all the skulls. But in order to do all the parkour trials, I had to get all of the skulls, right? Not sure what I've done wrong here, or if it's just a bug.
