Treasure maps are optional objectives in Avowed that come with terrific rewards in exchange for solving head-scratching puzzles.
Each treasure map is less a “map” and more a hastily and inscrutably sketched drawing pointing toward a vague location. If you find out where the treasure map points to and then head to that exact spot, you’ll find a chest containing a unique piece of gear.
What follows is our guide to all treasure maps in Avowed, broken up by each region, from Dawnshore through Galawain’s Tusks. We’ve also listed the rewards you get for completing each one.
How many treasure maps are there in Avowed?
There are 12 treasure maps in Avowed, three in each of the following regions: Dawnshore, Emerald Stair, Shatterscarp, and Galawain’s Tusks. If you solve all 12 maps, you’ll earn the “Pathfinder” achievement (and get some of the best gear in the game along the way).
