The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide Treasure Hunts

Available Quests

There are a total of two “map-related” Treasure Hunts, 30 Hidden Treasure Hunts, and four Scavenger Hunts.

Scavenger Hunts

Scavenger hunts are much more involved. There are four to attempt (one in White Orchard, one in Velen, one in Novigrad, and one in Skellige). In each scavenger hunt, you must locate a number of diagrams of long-lost Witcher Gear—armor and weapons that are among the best items that you can craft. It is wise to undertake these quests as soon as possible, unless locations have particularly powerful beasts guarding them.
