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

Continue to the southern end of the structure and prepare to enter the river bed. Swim westward to find an opening leading to a cave. Once inside and back on solid ground, you'll discover a chest containing the unique Wind and Wave shield.
