With the treasure map in hand, your next step is to locate the actual treasure. Descend from the lighthouse and head towards the nearby river.

Continue to the southern end of the structure and prepare to dive into the river bed. Swim westward to find an opening that leads to a cave. Once inside, you'll find solid ground and a chest containing the treasure: the unique Wind and Wave shield.
