You open the map drawn by a 5 year old and go near the location of the X. When you get to the area, activate the skull when it prompts you. It gives you vague clues, i.e. another by the waterfall, by a grave, etc.. Then you walk around until you get close enough for the arrow to pop up on your compass. Its super annoying.
Don't feel bad about using those guides others posted. If they are going to make a series of fetch quests this annoying and repetitive, its only proper.
