Avowed - Captain Henqua's Spoils Treasure Map Location

Here's where you can find Captain Henqua's Spoils in Dawnshore.

Comments

Captain Henqua's Spoils is a treasure map found in Dawnshore, the first area of Avowed. This treasure map can be found on top of the lighthouse, which is located just west of Calviger's Landing, which is in the southern part of the map and where you first arrive in The Living Lands. To reach the top of the Lighthouse, head to the base of the building and use ledges and scaffolding to climb to the top of the tower, moving in a spiral around the building. Tracking down this treasure will reward you with a Superb quality shield far earlier than you can normally get one.

After obtaining the treasure map from the top of the lighthouse, follow the river north until you reach a broken archway over the river, just next to the Western Pargrun Wall Beacon fast travel point.

From here, jump into the river and swim underwater towards the shore you jumped from.

Collecting the shield will mark the quest as complete.

Your reward for finding this treasure is the Wind and Wave Superb Quality shield. This unique item has two boosts, 10% movement speed and 20% resistance to Frost Accumulation. This is also a much higher quality shield than you have access to in Dawnshore, allowing you to withstand damage. Unique weapons and armor sets, including shields, can have one of their passive stats upgraded at camp using monster materials.
