After gaining the map, head towards the Isle of Death. Head to the very top of the island – the treasure will be just inside of the half of the boat that is stuck there.

The map will take you to Buri's Storeroom. From the beach there, proceed left and around the main feature of the island until you reach a small nook facing the large double gates – it is here that you can collect the treasure.

Dead and Bloated

The treasure map can be found in Volunder Mines, which you can visit during the Favor Second Hand Soul. When you enter the mines and reach the large chasm behind the Soul Eater, stick to the path leading right until you reach a chain you can drop down.

Slide down it and dig for the map beside the red chest.

Treasure Location

Head to the Northri Stronghold next – take your boat and paddle all the way inside until you can see a tower near the large waterwheel. Climb atop it to find the Treasure a the very top. If returning to Northri Stronghold after clearing it once, you may need to paddle through the rear entrance from Sindri's shop to access the tower.

Island of Light

Map Location

At a beach east of the Light Elf Outpost (right beside the Realm Tower), you can fine the map near the Mystic Gateway there.

Now, directly in the Light Elf Outpost, you can find the treasure near where the Nornir Chest in that areas is. From the chest, turn around and move down the path until you encounter a gate – beyond this gate is the treasure, which is situated on a ledge overlooking the waterfalls in the distance.

Treasure Location

Map Location

The Hunter's Kingdom treasure location is in Veithurgard, near the puzzle door leading inside the stronghold. When facing the door, check behind a large rock to the left of the doorway. The dig site should be visible.

Kneel Before Thor!

Map Location

Landsuther Mines

The map for Kneel Before Thor! is located in the Landsuther Mines area, a place that you'll visit while doing the Deus ex Malachite side quest. Upon arriving at the lower level of the mines, you will encounter an elevator next to a climbable wall. The elevator will lead up to a secret room that opens onto the first floor of the mine. This room contains the map.

The treasure for Kneel Before Thor! is located in Lookout Tower, near the Jotnar shrine.

The Turtle's Tribute

The treasure map for The Turtles Tribute can be only be picked up after unlocking Atreus' Shock Arrows during the Inside the Mountain main quest. When you are able to, return to the area under the Witch's Cave and explore, using the Shock Arrows to detonate shatter crystals locking away certain areas. The map is in a room blocked by a shatter crystal that also contains the entrance to a Hidden Chamber of Odin.

Treasure Location

Map Location

The Turtle's Tribute treasure location is, predictably, quite near the massive turtle that hides the entrance to the Witch's House. Return to the surface from the Witch's Cave and find the dig site near a rock to the right of the path to the door.

Njord's Oarsmen

Map Location

Northri Stronghold Ship

The treasure map for Njord's Oarsmen can be obtained from the hull of the ship in the final room of Northri Stronghold, which you will visit during the Family Business favor quest.

Attack the weakened wood on the front right side of its hull. This will open up a hidden area with some treasure and the map.

Treasure Location

Map Location

The Njord's Oarsmen treasure is located in the shadow of the titular oarsmen, two massive statues on the banks of the Mason's Channel area. Climb up through the area and stand underneath the right-side oarsmen's arm to spot the dig site.

The Last Place They'd Look

Map Location

The map for The Last Place They'd Look is actually in the first place you're likely to look: In the middle of your path as you pass through the mountain one more time during Return to the Summit. You'll see it as you pass by a pair of shatter crystals on your way to the outside of the mountain.

Treasure Location

Map Location

The treasure itself is in one of the last places you'll visit before clearing the game: The Council of Valkyries. The dig site is located between two of the thrones in the circle, just past the Mystic Gateway.
