The map that starts the quest for buried treasure provides players with a relatively clear diagram of the island where the loot is hidden. Given the title of the treasure hunt is the Islands of the Moon Treasure, it is a very safe assumption that the valuables will be found in that particular region. If you have not explored this area, you’ll be able to narrow down its location as the Islands of the Moon area is still marked on your game map, even when undiscovered.

To locate the island, you will need to travel north-west of Saint-Anne, which is a reliable reference point, given it’s the first pirate den you find yourself in at the beginning of the game. Of course, there are other islands standing between Sainte-Anne and the Islands of the Moon, so the most efficient ways to get there are to fast-travel to a location further west, or to manually move through the channel to the north and head west once you reach open water. As you begin to discover the Islands of the Moon, you will be looking for Dragon’s Back, which is the settlement where the treasure is located. Once you discover it, it is a simple matter of docking your ship and continuing your search on foot.

Once you have reached Dragon’s Back, you will need to venture to the right as you arrive through the passage next to the settlement’s merchant. The path will have you climbing in an upward direction and there aren’t really any places where you can get lost. Once you wind your way up the path, look for golden sparkles on your left before the path ends. If you make it to the Pirate’s Bonfire, you have gone too far, but not by much. To finish your search, simply approach the sparkles and press the indicated button to unearth the treasure.
