Rookridge-
1) Before entering the Hobbe Cave (and after jumping off the bridge), look to your right. Up high is a gargoyle stuck between some rocks.
2) After you progress for a while in the Hobbe Cave, you'll walk into a room with some hanging, Gothic style light fixtures and a ramp leading up onto a second level (assuming you entered from the beach-front). After killing the Hobbes, walk to the far end of the room where you will find a small nook in the wall. There should be a destroyed section of railroad track beneath you, and a ledge above you. Now, turn completely around so you're facing the entrance though which you arrived. Look up. You should see a gargoyle on a wooden beam (it will be the second, and highest, of the two).
3) Before you walk down the stairs in the Temple of Shadows, face West. You should see some broken out stained-glass windows. Walk towards, and up the stairs past the two statues. Turn to your right, and look through the archway. There you'll find a gargoyle on the wall in front of you.
4) When you enter the Temple of Shadows, progress into the room with the Wheel of Misfortune. Make a left and enter the chamber with some chairs and an elevated platform. Now turn back around and look above the door you just passed through.

4) In the southern portion of Westcliff there is a ruined tower you can climb which is located near the log cabin. From the top you can vault down onto a ledge with a treasure chest and the gargoyle.
5) This gargoyle can be found in the Howling Halls, after you fight the Queen Balverine and Hammer knocks over a pillar so you can cross the spiky moat. Go to the right side of the room and stand behind the pillar. Look up and to your right to spot the gargoyle hanging from an empty tomb.
Wraith Marsh-

There will be a gargoyle mounted on the crumbling arch in front of you.
4) After a while, you'll come to the 'Elder Hollows' area- a small hill leading down into a fog covered graveyard that is surrounded by ramshackle tombs and coffins. After killing all the Hollow Men, continue down the path where you see tombs on either side of the cliff you're walking through. You should end up looking down a path that leads under a large, stone bridge and onwards into a marshy area. Once you get out from between the cliff walls, stop, turn around, and look up and to your left. On the last tomb above you there should be a gargoyle.
5) NOTE: This gargoyle can only be obtained by progressing through the 'Love Hurts' mission.
After deducting your way through several puzzle rooms, you'll eventually proceed up a large spiral staircase and end up in a room with a coffin. Turn around when you enter the coffin room and you'll spot the gargoyle over the arch you just came through.
6) NOTE: This gargoyle can only be obtained by progressing through the main story arc.
You will have access to it after Reaver has given you the Dark Seal. Upon entering the Shadow Court, continue down the path until you reach a hallway with spikes rhythmically jutting out of the ground. Sprint across the spikes; make sure you get your timing right! Now stop and turn around. The gargoyle will be hanging on the arch above.
Congrats on finding all the gargoyles! Some of them can be a pain, but in the end the reward is well worth it.
