Treasure Map D1
You’ll find this treasure map at the River Tower safe house. It’s the tower right by the river. Climb to the top, and you’ll pick up Treasure Map D1.
The treasure itself is located at Emil’s Brick School in the villa area. Head over there and circle around the school until you spot a gate with a single open window at the bottom. That’s your way inside.
Once inside, push a little deeper until you reach the main entry hall. Take a left into the small reception area this is where you’ll find the safe. The lock code is hidden in binary on the map. When translated, it gives you: 54090
Open the safe and you’ll find the treasure inside. The school itself has more loot and a dark zone section if you want to keep exploring, but for the treasure map, this safe is your main prize.
Treasure Map E3
The map can be found inside the Town Hall either in the map room or pinned on the wall as a simple piece of paper. If you can’t spot it right away, just use your survivor sense scan and it should highlight.
Once you’ve got the map, the treasure itself is pretty close by. From the Town Hall, head toward the nearby restaurant area and the bell tower. There’s also a safe house right below, but to get in you’ll need a key, not a lockpick.
Here’s how to get it:
- Cross over to the abandoned apartment building nearby.
- Drop down, shimmy across, and climb through the window.
- Inside, you’ll find a corpse (watch out, a zombie might be there). Loot the body to grab the key.
With the key in hand, head back to the treasure location. Go inside the red house, move the cupboard out of the way, and open the locker. Inside, you’ll usually find valuables.
Treasure Map A2
This one’s a bit tricky, since it takes you all the way up to the Chimney Towers in the Industrial Zone. First, climb to the top of one of the towers you’ll find the treasure map near the binoculars up there. Once you’ve got the map, you’ll want to head toward the big gated-off area near the tower marked “Smith” on the map.
Inside that fenced area, you’ll see a hole leading down into water. Dive in and swim through. You’ve got plenty of oxygen, so don’t worry. Make your way through the passage until you reach a room with a generator. Clear out the zombies, then turn on the generator and grab the power cable.
Now you’ve got to swim while carrying the cable. Follow the path carefully:
- Look for a tipped-over section and go through the doorway.
- Keep swimming forward until you reach a spot where you can climb up.
- Jump up and over the fence into the gated area.
Once you’re out of the water, plug the cable into the socket near Smith’s location. That will power up and unlock the office/industrial section. Inside, you’ll need to fight through more zombies, including a tougher one so be ready. After clearing them out, lockpick the door to the treasure stash. Your reward here isn’t just random loot you’ll find Rogue Pants, a piece of gear that boosts stealth.
Treasure Map C2
You’ll start in the villa area at the highway tower. Climb to the very top and you’ll find the treasure map sitting on a ledge. From there, make your way into the farmlands. Cross the river and head toward the ruins you’ll know you’re in the right spot when you see the broken structures scattered around.
Clear out the zombies in the area first, then drop down into the hole below. Be careful here there are mines on the ground. You can blow them up safely by tossing items at them, or just sprint through. Either way, expect more zombies to show up. Once you’ve dealt with the mines, wrap around the corner, crawl through the vent, and you’ll come to the stash. Open it up, and grab your loot.
Treasure Map A3
For this one, you’ll normally need the grapple hook to reach the spot, but you don’t actually need it to grab the treasure itself. You’ll need to head to the farmer’s tower in the farm area.
You’ll need the grapple hook to climb all the way to the top of the tower. On the map, it looks southeast, but depending on your compass it might show as northwest just keep in mind you’re aiming for the tall tower in the farm zone.
Here’s what to do once you’re there:
- Climb into the building and break the vent to get inside.
- Open the door and grab the power cable.
- Run the cable over and plug it into the socket at the hatch this powers it up.
- Open the hatch, grab the power cable again, and then carry it down through another vent.
- Plug it into the next socket to fully power up the area.
It can be bugged out and you need to reload it. If that happens, just restart and try again. Once the power’s flowing, you’ll be able to open all the locked doors and loot everything inside. The big reward here is in the cupboard you’ll find a legendary assault rifle.
Treasure Map C3
You don’t actually need the map itself to finish this section, but if you do want it, you’ll find it in the farm area at the top of the silo safe spot. Just climb up, unlock it, and scan it. The silo tower is over there, and we’re starting from the barn here. Watch out, there’s a zombie inside.
To move forward, you’ll need to activate the power by turning on the generator. This powers up a nearby hatch that you can open. The catch is that down below, there’s water mixed with live wires, so stepping into it will shock you.
What you need to do is throw a knife at the red fuse box to cut the power. After hitting it, wait about 10 seconds for the sparks to burn out before going into the water. If you jump in too early, you’ll still take damage.
Once the water is safe, drop down, deal with the zombies that rush you, and then unlock the door inside. Grab the collectable note, and at the end, you’ll find your reward chest with some loot and even a blueprint.
Treasure Map D2
Head over to Oldtown, near a hotel building. What you’re looking for is a white building with a red shingled roof. From the rooftop, look down and you’ll notice an open window on the white building below (it’s tricky to spot, but it should be facing east). Jump through that window to get inside.
Once you’re in, ignore the regular loot for now and focus on climbing up, since the treasure is above. Eventually, you’ll reach a bathroom. Drop down inside, grab the bandage if you want, then climb up the pipe. At the top, you’ll find a small shooting range area with throwing knives. In the corner, behind one of the targets, there’s a key. This key unlocks the locked shelf in the room. Open it up, and that’s your treasure, mostly explosives and throwable weapons like explosive knives.
Treasure Map D4
You’ll find this one at the bus station safe house. Once you’re there, step out of the bus and look east you’ll spot a big red building. That’s where you need to go, but the tricky part is getting to the top since most of it is covered in spikes.
From the bus station, climb up the nearby pipe. It can be a little frustrating you might slip a few times so it takes a couple of tries. Once you’re up, make your way across the ledges. You’ll want to climb carefully onto the safe spots rather than trying to grab the ropes, since they can’t actually be used here.
At the top, you’ll find a place to restore power. Make sure you have the treasure map quest active, then grab the cord and follow the marker to plug it in. Restoring the power here isn’t just for the bus station it also lets you open up one of the nearby grates.
Once the grate is open, head inside and make your way down. Your reward here is a blueprint called Blaze, which lets you add fire damage to your weapons. You’ll also pick up some extra loot along the way.
Treasure Map E4
You’ll need to climb to the top of a tall tower. The easiest way to do this is with the grappling hook, which you unlock as a story reward after meeting the enclave of survivors. Once you’re able to climb the tower, you’ll find the treasure map at the top.
Now for the treasure itself. From that tower, head directly south to a small cement garden area. On one of the rooftops, you’ll notice it matches the picture from the map, especially with the little chimney stacks. Jump across, and look for a small window on the right it should already be open.
Go inside, but be careful there are zombies waiting for you. Head down to the lower levels (second from the bottom, since the very bottom is blocked). You’ll find a machine down there turn it off. After that, go back upstairs and repair the broken wire lying on the floor. Once that’s fixed, head back down and switch the machine on again. This restores power to the locked door upstairs. Open it, but be ready more zombies are inside. Clear them out and grab all the loot to finish up.
Treasure Map A1
This one is found close to the start of the game. To get the map, start at the monastery in the west. From there, head down to a little park bench, and you’ll see the treasure map lying on the ground. Grab it, and now go for the treasure itself.
The treasure is just a short distance southeast from where you picked up the map. You’ll come across a house with a large lodge next to it. Jump up onto a container outside, open the hatch, and head inside.
- First, turn on the generator inside.
- That will power up a nearby wire box.
- Grab the wire from that box and carry it over to the other box across the way. You’ll see the wire following behind you while you move.
- Connect it to the second box, and the door will unlock automatically.
Be careful though once the door opens, you’ll run into a bunch of zombies inside. Take them out and then loot everything in the room to claim the treasure. The game doesn’t actually mark these treasure maps as “complete” when you finish them, so don’t expect them to disappear from your inventory.
Treasure Map D3
You’ll need to head into the dark zone at Station Square Apartments. The place will be full of enemies, so be ready to fight or sneak through. Make your way all the way to the final loot room at the top. Inside, look around the tables you’ll spot the treasure map there.
Now for the treasure itself. Head just east of the hardware store. On a rooftop opposite it, you’ll see a spot that matches the picture from the map. Move the wooden board there and head inside.
Inside, you’ll find a safe, which holds the treasure. The clue for the code is “12:55,” which works like a clock. Enter the code as 12 – 25 – 55, and the safe will open.
Treasure Map E1
You’ll need to head over to the northwest corner of the map, near the hardware store. Outside, you’ll see a vent on the wall climb in and head inside the building. Once you’re in, look under a table in the second section. There’s a locked door there, so pick it, and right next to a body on the floor you’ll find the treasure map. Now, you don’t need the map to grab the treasure, but it’s handy if you’re collecting them all since it helps you track which ones you’ve already done.
The treasure for this one is very close by. Just go a short distance northwest of the hardware store and you’ll come across a small cabin in the woods. Be careful there are a couple of human enemies here, and they’re armed with melee weapons. Take them out, then head inside the cabin. That’s where you’ll find the treasure.
