Looking for the Treasure Map to Stelgaer’s Pride? You can buy it from Lynna, the armor merchant in Claviger’s Landing.
The treasure itself is a bit of a trek. Head east from Paradis and south of the Watcher’s Mirror point of interest. You’ll eventually find a cliff with a huge dinosaur skeleton sticking out. Follow the cliffside until you find a small area with a breakable wall. Smash through that wall, and you’ll find a chest containing Stelgaer’s Pride.
Stelgaer’s Pride is a unique medium armor chest piece. It’s great for Fighters and other melee characters because it has two cool perks: First, it lets you cast Barbaric Shout when you take a hit that’s more than 30% of your max health. Second, it boosts your Stamina regeneration.

Want the Treasure Map for the Wind and Wave shield? It’s a bit of a climb! Head to the Lighthouse near Claviger’s Landing and go all the way to the top. You’ll find the map on a body up there.
Once you have the map, make your way to the Old Pargrun Wall. Find the river near the shore and dive in. If you’re looking at the structure overlooking the river, swim to the left underwater. You’ll find a small cave. Inside that cave is a chest containing the Wind and Wave shield.
The Wind and Wave is a unique shield that’s pretty handy. It boosts your movement speed and gives you better resistance against Frost Accumulation. Perfect if you like using shields!
Woedica’s Inheritance
Looking for the Gloves of the Strangler? You’ll need the treasure map first. You can buy it from Sanza at his shop, Sanza’s Emporium, in Paradis Hightown.
Once you have the map, go to the outer eastern wall of Paradis. Continue on until the gate aligns with the image on your map. Then, continue along the wall until you reach a dead end. Now, here’s the difficult part: quietly scan the wall on your right for a secret switch. It’s easy to overlook! When you discover it and flip the switch, a part of the wall will move open, which leads to a secret room. In that room, there will be a chest holding the Gloves of the Strangler.
These gloves are awesome for sneaky characters like Rangers. They boost your Critical Hit chance and increase the damage of your Stealth Attacks. Definitely worth finding!

Want Hjilde’s Handy Hide? First, you’ll need the treasure map. You can buy it from Ector Brewer at the Gifted Magpie teahouse in Fior mes Iverno.
Once you have the map, head northeast of Fior mes Iverno, and southeast of the Rolling Crags. Look for the tower shown in the map. Then, search the cliffside north of the mushroom patch where you see the little sporelings and the bear. There’s a small area along the cliff face where you’ll find a hidden chest containing Hjilde’s Handy Hide.
This light armor chest piece is fantastic for Rangers and Wizards. It boosts your max health by 40 and reduces all incoming Fire, Frost, and Shock damage. It’s also one of the first Exceptional Quality armors you can find in the game, so definitely worth the effort!
