The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

Treasure Map VIII

  • 1 of 10: This map is near Bleakcoast Cave. See the Winterhold section of the World Map Exploration Guide.
  • 2 of 10: Go east and a bit south from the cave entrance until you come to a spot with two live horkers and a dead horker.
  • 3 of 10: Look near the dead horker for a dead hunter who has the map on him.
  • 4 of 10: Read the map, then look for the two places where it marks items.
  • 5 of 10: What small town has a mill and a huge stone bridge with a dragon-head carving at its center?
  • 6 of 10: That would have to be Dragon Bridge, which is a ways SW of Solitude.
  • 7 of 10: Go to the south end of the bridge and look around the cluster of trees until you find a satchel leaning against one of them.
  • 8 of 10: Get the key from the satchel, then go look for the treasure chest, which is what the key opens.
  • 9 of 10: Go down the slope that's next to the bridge to enter the water, then turn right (north).
  • 10 of 10: Look for a locked treasure chest underwater nearby, surrounded by tall plants. (Also watch out for slaughterfish.)
