Embark on a treasure hunt in Avowed! Many treasure maps scattered throughout the game world offer exciting rewards, and one of the earliest you can find is Captain Henqua's Spoils. This guide shows you exactly how to locate it.

Finding Captain Henqua's Spoils Treasure Map

To begin your quest, head to the lighthouse in the western part of Calviger’s Landing, located in the southern part of The Living Lands. Carefully climb the lighthouse using the ledges and scaffolding. Once you reach the top, you'll find Captain Henqua's Spoils treasure map.

Locating Captain Henqua's Spoils

With the map in hand, follow its directions. Descend from the lighthouse and head north along the river until you reach a broken bridge, just northeast of the Old Pargrun Wall and the Western Pargrun Wall Beacon fast travel point. Swim to the southern end of the bridge and find a western opening leading into a cave. Inside, you’ll find a chest containing the Wind and Wave shield.

The Wind and Wave Shield

The Wind and Wave shield boasts a 10% movement speed boost and 20% Frost Accumulation resistance. Its Superb Quality makes it significantly stronger than other early-game shields. With the right resources (like Glasswood Branches and Adra Ban), you can even upgrade it to Legendary quality.

Avowed is available now on PC and Xbox.
