Curious about how to dig up treasure in Avowed? Finding hidden loot can make your adventure even more exciting. But you need the right tools and know where to dig.
In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to find buried treasure and make sure you don’t miss any valuable rewards. So let’s start!
You Can’t Dig Up Treasure
Despite hearing treasure sounds or seeing markers, you cannot dig. Treasure is not buried underground. Instead, it is placed in chests, lockboxes, backpacks, or on fallen enemies.
Many players get confused when they hear the twinkling sound of treasure but see nothing in sight. If this happens, don’t assume the treasure is buried. Instead, take a closer look at your surroundings, as loot is often cleverly hidden in the environment.
Treasure Locations
Search Carefully
Exploration is key to finding treasure. Look in hidden corners, behind objects, and near environmental clues. Loot is often in hard-to-reach places. Check small crevices, climbable areas, and even seemingly empty spots that might have hidden compartments.
Common Treasure Containers
Most treasure is found inside:
- Chests – Some are locked and require lockpicking or keys.
- Backpacks – Usually found near abandoned camps or fallen travelers.
- Lockboxes – Often contain valuable items but may need a key to open.
- Enemy Corpses – Defeated enemies sometimes carry hidden treasures.
Always check your surroundings thoroughly, as treasure is rarely in plain sight.
Captain Henqua’s Treasure
The Captain Henqua’s Spoils map can be misleading. It looks like the treasure is buried, but it is actually underwater. Search nearby instead of digging. When following treasure maps in Avowed, don’t assume the treasure is in the exact marked spot. Sometimes, it’s hidden in nearby places.
Use Marius’s Hunter’s Sense
If Marius is in your party, activate his Hunter’s Sense ability. This helps you detect loot through walls. It reveals hidden pathways leading to treasure. Using Hunter’s Sense can save time and prevent frustration when searching for treasure.
Final Thoughts
Now you know how to dig up treasure in Avowed. With the right tools and a little patience, you can uncover hidden riches. Keep an eye out for clues, and don’t forget to explore every corner of the world. Happy treasure hunting!
