With the map in hand, your next step is to locate the treasure itself. Descend from the lighthouse and head to the nearby river. Follow the water northwards until you encounter a broken bridge, located just northeast of the Old Pargrun Wall and the Western Pargrun Wall Beacon fast travel point.

Proceed to the southern end of the bridge and dive into the river bed. Swim towards the west to find an opening that leads into a cave. Once inside, navigate to solid ground where you will discover a chest containing the treasure: the unique Wind and Wave shield.
