One of the game series that The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales appears to take inspiration from is The Legend of Zelda. While Elliot isn't collecting Pieces of Heart like Link does, he does collect Shards of Life. Every four shards collected gives him another drop of life, increasing his total health, very similar to its Zelda inspirations. So as you explore the world of Philabieldia, you'll want to keep an eye out for these power-ups.

There are 60 total Shards of Life in The Millenium Tales. Luckily, none of these shards are missable. Finding Shards of Life in the game is also fairly straightforward, as the game's maps will show you where unopened chests remain, as well as where Shrines of Life can be found. Regardless, this page will list all 60 Shards of Life in the game and where to find them.
Several Shards of Life are found in Shrines of Life, which will house a short puzzle or enemy arena that needs to be cleared to earn the shard. This guide will not detail how to solve these puzzles in these mini-dungeons, as most of the puzzles are simple to solve.
The order below matches the order in which the Shards of Life are listed in our The Adventures of Elliot 100% Walkthrough, and broadly should be available in order of when they can be collected during a normal playthrough of the game. The full walkthrough will also detail some tips for the Shrines of Life, if you are looking for assistance with the mini-puzzles they have.
A small note: Don't pay attention to Elliot's total health in the screenshots below. I originally found the shards in a slightly different order than I listed them here, which I rearranged for efficiency, so Elliot's total health may not line up exactly with the number of shards collected.
