Thought I'd start a topic that covered all of them, rather than one at a time.  Feel free to either post the stuff you've found or link to your own thread on the topic.

Expensive Dog Treats:  They're all over the Palace Courtyard area, but all react to search button hits, so not that hard to find.  Putting all 10 of them in the Mabari's basket by Cullen will get you a unique Mace

 

Picture Straightening:  Each one gets you +2 Strength.
EDIT (thanks to Haleofawulf86): 

#1 Is in the bar.
#2 Is in the room where you find an unexpected guest
#3 Is in the Bathhouse
#'s 4 & 5 are upstairs.  One is immediately visible upon reaching the top of the trellis, the other is above some debris you have to climb on.

Hidden Halla: Upon your first entrance into the Crossroads, spam the search button until you see a little Halla statue beside a skeleton to your Left.  When you next are on palace grounds, follow the trail. There's one by the big statue beside the bar, the next is at the main fountain, the next is on the upper level by the two ladies fountain (Right side of map) and the last is on the Right upper level off the main stairway.  I got a schematic for a staff called "Encore".

EDIT (thanks to valsharess24): Top Hat: When you return to the Crossroads after getting finding these, go back to where you found the first one and interact with the Skeleton again for a cunning boost.

 

Harlequin: I got nothing here.  I caught one once and got +2 Dexterity.  I'm told if you catch 5, you get a bugged schematic that's supposedly a staff, but only a warrior can use it. EDIT: The trick is apparently to spot them from afar and get behind them.

 

Fireworks:  On your last walkabout in the palace before chasing the Viddasala to the Darvaad (say that 3 times fast), there's some selectable fireworks down near Cassandra's spot.  You hit them it and it shoots them off, allowing you to select it again to detonate them.  The closer they are to the top of their arc, the bigger the boom, and after about 10?? you get a score.  Best I was able to do was 42.  Any perks?  EDIT (thanks to TheIronDrengin): 80 gets you a Broadsword schematic... but it takes awhile!

 

Taken Shape: Not sure what this does or why it's there, but if you don't go through your designated Eluvians, and look around for others, you eventually find 4 pieces of something.  

To the Right and behind the Elven Ruin Mirror, there's a Library with some baddies who pop up when you open the chest.

There's 1 above the Deep Roads Mirror that takes you to another ruin, with some high level demons.

There's 1 to the Right of the Deep Roads Mirror that shows up when you hit the magical red pod for a pathway.  It takes you to an ancient Fereldan throne room where 2 Revenants pop up.  

Last but not least there's one more if you take the path to the Left instead of going into the Fade (bookcase) Mirror.

 

Wolf Loot Boxes:  

The first is plot revealed, when you light the 2nd veilfire torch from the end on the Left side (where the statue is aimed) you get a unique bow.

The next is in the Fade, ruined library section, past Violet Embers, up the ruins.  You hit the statue, then run down (through the previous mirror) to the circle of veilfire sconces.  Light a torch (I recommend doing this before you send the Path stones on their way, otherwise you have to fight some Qunari here), then take it back to the wolf (using your Anchor to get through the Violet Embers) and light the statue, opening up another prize.  

The third is back in the Deep Roads Mirror, and I say back because you need your Anchor to have offensive power before you can access this one, and that happens in the Fade. Enter, swing down the grand stairway, admiring your lovely flooding and destruction of thousands of priceless artifacts, then you'll see some Gaatlock barrels and a cave in blocking the way to an Eluvian.  Fire off your Anchor and blow them up.  The Eluvian will dump you in another Elven Ruin, with a long hallway, a veilfire sconce, and a big mural.  Go to the mural and reveal the secret with veilfire.  It'll make the statue turn round, raising the path, then you can light the sconce in the middle of the painting.  Voila!

The fourth and last is in the Darvaad tower, before you open the vault door.  On the bottom floor (there's a locked door, you'l need to slide down) there's an owl statue with a lit Veilfire sconce.  Light it, go to the top floor, light the deer, then light the one on the ground near the Wolf statue, and lastly select the Golden Nug.  It'll unlock the box down on the bottom floor.
 

Misc: There's about 10 miscellaneous items left around the courtyard... A book by the Fereldan delegation, Caprice Coins in a Fountain, a bottle of cologne on an arbor... etc.  I have no idea what they are for.  Some are worth more, some are only worth 1 coin.  They have the same icon as the sad splinters, but it turned out if you kept all 3 of those, there was a schematic that required them.

EDIT (Thanks to segurissima): There's a shop with a schematic in the Fade Mirror / Vir Dirathala / Big Old Fractured Library.  Look for a Red Pod by the starting point.

 

EDIT: (Thanks to valsharess24): Keep a Veilfire active in the Fade Mirror Zone. there's a rune on the ground that spawns a demon with loot!

EDIT (Thanks to Apollexander): In the Elven Ruins, don't forget to get the chest through the Eluvian at the top of the stairs after you get the Anchor Ability.

EDIT (Thanks to Vargeisa): Once the anchor can cause explosions (Discovered in Fade Mirror Zone), go back to the Elven Ruins, and in the Qunari Camp area look for something else to explode.  Apparently there's a room full of Gold!

 

Any I missed?  Any more details?  Post them here!

PS.  There's a Golden Halla you can shoot in the Elven Ruins Mirror.  Unique Masterwork Leather from looting it.

[GreyLycanTrope]

A high enoigh score on the fireworks earns you a sigil. I think I got around 60 so 50 is probably the cut off. Not sure if there are higher rewards for it.

[valsharess24]

There's the one where you need the veil fire during the library levels. In one of the areas there is a mark on the ground that looks like a rune mark. Light it with veil fire and it says look behind you. Demon appear and it drops nice loot.

[Stark777]

Picture Straightening: There is another picture in the baths near Vivienne. I didn´t found the one upstairs, maybe if you straighten the four pictures you get a schematic

 

 

And yeah, when you caught the Harlequin 5 times you get a schematic for Brand, a "ghost" blade that does ice elemental damage.

[valsharess24]

There is also a hat that you put right near the beginning of the crossroads gives +10 cunning, the second time you go there and place it where a small loot was. Sorry so vague but I'm at work and going by memory.

What secret are you talking about? I got the codex entry, but I can't light the fire in the middle of the mural. There's slightly raised steps and the statue has glowing eyes, but nothing else is happening. :/

There is a button on the back of the statue, if you push it, it will raise the steps.

The statue's eyes need to be glowing (by standing on the path) for it to work IIRC.

How does one catch the harlequin? Just saw them bamfing all over the place wasn't sure how to interact.

[Apollexander]

In the Elven ruins area there is a door blocked by some crates. You can attack and destroy the crates, then you can go through a mirror to get a loot.

[Drengin]

Harlequins.. Catch 5 for the reward 'Brand' Weapon schematic
Fireworks... Score 80 for the Chromatic Greatsword Schematic

 

Harlequins are really hard!!
Fireworks you just have to time it to get the big explosions. (this took me 45 minutes to achieve the 80)

I'm doing the fireworks now.... good god, this is impossible to time. D: I always seem to hit them just after the peak.

You have to get behind them, without them noticing.

[segurissima]

When in the library, where you start looking for those egg thingies to raise the stairs to the upside down island; in the starting area outside there is rubble. You click on it, its a shop. It sells a shield and the schematics for it. Or this isn't new and everyone found it?

I liked this just because it could have been my Trevelyan's post. He was all "Whatever, dude, I don't know how any of this shiite works. I just put the coins in the slot and pull the lever and try not to pisse off Cassandra."

[Haleofawulf86]

I found 5 pictures to straighten.

• One in the bar like you said,
• one in the room with all the codex entries about what the companions have been up too,
• one in the bath house by Vivienne
• and 2 just outside the room were you find the eluvian the first time. the one to the right of the door requires you to hop up on some tables to get it.

With +2 per picture that brings it up to 10 strength which is in line with the bonus to constitution from the dog bones, cunning from the Halla quest, and dexterity from the Harlequin.

 

I'm not sure exactly how much of the bonus to magic you can get but it comes from the fireworks. Also I feel like there should be a little side quest that increases your willpower stat somewhere since that is the only stat that doesn't get a boost.

[Mr.House]

D you get a schem or weapon for fixings the pictures? Fixed all the ones I could find and nothing.

[Vargeisa]

Not sure if it counts as a side mission, but at the end of the first section of the crossroads, after you go down the first wolf statue, there's a room filled with gold.

 

You need to come back later when you have the "explode" ability. On the island near the water's edge there's some rubble you can blow up that leads you to the room.

 

There's a few piles of 50.000 gold.

 

Not sure why you would need gold at that point of the game though.

*Princess Bride Kid* Rooms full of gold is good!

[Haleofawulf86]

No I didn't get any weapon or schematic from the pictures unfortunately.

 

I believe the gold is so you can buy the really expensive 2 hand sword in the merchants shop.

 

[Clint_johnston23]

That is a nice weapon... I kicked ass with that ?Sword?

[ArianaGBSA]

I guess it is reference to Soul Calibur, looks a lot like Nightmare

[Quick]

Here is a collection of videos that should help you track down all of this stuff.

 

[Video] - Expensive Dog Treats (+10 Constitution | Cudgel of the Gold-and-Ebon Queen Mace)

 

[Video] - Tilted Paintings (+10 Strength)
 

[Video] - Winter Palace Treasure Map (+10 Cunning | Encore Staff Schematic)

 

[Video] - Capturing Harlequins / Jesters (+10 Dexterity | Brand Longsword Schematic)

 

[Video] - Fireworks (+10 Magic | Sigil of the Golem | Chromatic Greatsword Schematic)

 

* RE: Tilted Paintings - Thanks to TheCharmedOne for helping to complete this.

 

* RE: Capturing Halequins - You may not need to spam your interact button to capture these gals.  Had a PS4 viewer say he just had to walk up behind them and it worked.  For me I literally bumped into the back of one and it did nothing, it wasn't until I figured out I had to hit my interact button that it actually let me "capture" them.  Just wanted to give you all a heads up.

 

 

Hope this helps!
