Treasure Maps — God of War eGuide

Scattered throughout Midgard, 12 Treasure Maps offer hints at valuable treasure buried elsewhere in the realm. When a map is collected, Atreus translates the scroll and the hint is added to your journal under Treasure Maps, within the Goals Tab. The reward for finding the treasure is listed on this same page, plus a drawing of the location is shown in the background.

Kneel Before Thor!

The map sits next to the coffin inside the lift, which is inaccessible from the main floor. You must descend into the hole and ride the lift up to find it.

Scroll	“I’ve lived to serve the god of thunder and I bury my greatest treasure right where all inhabitants of Midgard should dwell: at the feet of the God of gods.”
Treasure Location	Lookout Tower

Climb to the top of Lookout Tower and slide down the rope to reach a hidden beach behind the Thor statue. The treasure is just right of the Jötnar Shrine, next to his foot.

Make your way through the Foothills and climb the base of the Mountain until you reach the opening that forms the mouth (the entrance to Peak Pass). The mound of dirt is on the edge of the cliff.

Finder’s Fee

Treasure	Hacksilver, 1 Unyielding Cinder, 9 World Serpent Scales

Dock at this beach on the west side of Lake of Nine. Move past the Mystic Gateway and kill the wolves that feast on a corpse. The map sits next to a chest in a cubbyhole left of the gear that raises the gate to King’s Hollow.

Scroll	“I’ve been working for these Reavers for a long time but the pay is always short. With the camp split between Hræzla and his old man, no one will notice me taxing a bit of the earning on the side. My secret perch is the perfect hiding spot.”
Treasure Location	Northri Stronghold

After activating the waterwheel and opening the first set of gates, climb up to the high perch above the dock to find the treasure. Grab this treasure during the “Family Business” Favor.

Njörd’s Oarsmen

Treasure	Hacksilver, 1 Glacial Catalyst, 9 World Serpent Scales, Enchantment—Stone of Frost Supremacy

After completing Sindri’s first Favor, “Can’t Take It with You,” start his second quest, “Family Business.” Play through the Favor until you beat the Traveler at the ship. Bust through a weak point on the northwest side of the ship’s lower deck to find the map.

Scroll	“On my last voyage, my ship was ravaged by Thor’s thunder and storms. I had given up hope when the gentle wind of Njörd parted the dark clouds and filled my sails. I have hidden my treasure up high where I can forever row with Njörd’s Oarsmen.”
Treasure Location	Njörd’s Oarsmen

The treasure rests on a ledge on the west side of the Mason’s Channel, next to the left oarsman. From the nearby beach, climb and shimmy to Sindri’s shop, scale the nearby cliff, and then head right to find the spot.

The map is inside the small eastern room, just outside the Hidden Chamber of Odin. This requires Light Arrows to create light bridges down to the Nornir Chest, then a Shock Arrow so that you can climb into the room.

Scroll	“Where the leaves are red, and the moss is green. I buried my treasure where the tortoise doth dream.”
Treasure Location	River Pass

The treasure isn’t too far from the map, sitting just outside the Witch’s home. Climb out of the Witch’s Basement and follow the stone path toward the turtle. Find the mound of dirt on the right side of the trail, near the boulders.

Paddle onto the southern beach of Iron Cove, in southwestern Lake of Nine, and search near the crates and barrels ahead.

Treasure Location	Buri’s Storeroom

Paddle onto the island of Buri’s Storeroom on the east side of Lake of Nine. The buried treasure is found on the west side next to a couple of loose boards. Kill the Draugr before digging up the loot.

Scroll	“The Troll who killed my kin is slain, but the battle has taken its toll. I’ve buried whatever I have left near his corpse. Ingrid and I used to frequent this beach to watch the sun rise over the temple.”
Treasure Location	Cliffs of the Raven

At Cliffs of the Raven, make your way to the big beach in the back, where the corpse of a Troll lies. This requires navigating much of Cliffs of the Raven after the second water drop. The treasure is buried on its right side.

Island of Light

The Boat Captain’s Key

Treasure Available	After first water drop
Treasure	Hacksilver, Leiptr Alloy, 30 Aegir’s Gold, Enchantment

From the upper beach, this map is easily found by exiting your boat and searching the right side of the beach. After the second water drop, you must climb the various ledges.

Scroll	“With the Boat Captain in the belly of the Hydra, the key was mine! I traveled to a new land, but my ship wrecked and sunk along with my precious key. It lies just below the waves, perched on an underwater peak.”
Treasure Location	Isle of Death

Before the water drops a second time, you need to climb once from the dock. Wait until the water level has lowered, and you must navigate more of the island before reaching the highest point. Search under the ship wreckage to find the pile of dirt that hides the treasure.

The Last Place They’d Look

Treasure	Hacksilver, 1 Unstable Ore, 5 Hardened Svartalfheim Steel, Enchantment—Eye of Runic Supremacy

Scroll	“The Valkyries will hunt me until my last breath. If they seek what is mine, I shall hide it right under their noses.”
Treasure Location	Council of Valkyries

Access the Council of Valkyries from the beach between Helheim Tower and Njörd’s Oarsmen. Climb up, shimmy across the ledge, and scale a couple more cliffs to reach the door. Find the thrones that sit around the perimeter of the arena, and search between the second and third seats on the left.

Scroll	“I wished to make a contribution to Fáfnir’s collection of relics. I arrived to find the door locked and Reavers blocking the way I came. I quickly buried my treasure and hid as fast as I could. If I manage to escape, I’ll return to this spot.”
Treasure Location	Fáfnir’s Storeroom

This treasure is best collected during Sindri’s “Fáfnir’s Hoard” Favor. After clearing out the forest area, approach the sealed storeroom exit on the south side. The treasure has been buried just in front of the door.
