Bandit’s Treasure Map: Tantari Woods in The Blood of Dawnwalker (Full Quest)

Tantari Woods hides one of the more forgiving treasure runs in The Blood of Dawnwalker. A single stolen map, a short walk northeast into the marsh, and a shovel are all that stand between you and a legendary ring. The awkward part is that the map never places a marker for you — the game expects you to read the drawing and pin the spot yourself.

Quick answer: Steal the Treasure Map: Tantari Woods from the wooden bench inside the Bandit Camp in Tantari Woods, then walk northeast into the swamp and dig the pile of dirt and wood near the water with a shovel to finish the activity.

What you need before starting the Tantari Woods treasure hunt

Bring a shovel. The dig site prompt will not let you interact with the mound without one, and unlike some other bandit treasure spots there is no guarantee of a spare tool lying beside the pile. Treasure digs also consume a time segment, so plan the trip around whatever else you have scheduled for that part of the day.

You will also need to clear or slip past the bandits holding the camp. They react to intrusion, and looting the map counts as stealing, so nothing about this is a quiet grab if they are still standing nearby.

Where to find the Treasure Map: Tantari Woods

Open the world map and locate the Bandit Camp icon sitting inside Tantari Woods. That camp is the only place the map spawns, so fast travel or ride to the closest point and approach on foot.

Move up to the camp through the trees. Focus Mode is useful here for picking out the huts, benches, and loot containers before you commit to a route in.

Deal with the bandits occupying the camp. They will interrupt you mid-loot otherwise, and fighting with the map already in your inventory just makes the escape messier.

Head to the wooden bench inside the camp and take Treasure Map: Tantari Woods from it. The activity Bandit’s Treasure Map: Tantari Woods starts the moment the map lands in your inventory, with the objective “Search for the treasure”.

How to place the marker northeast of Tantari Woods

The treasure map is a drawing, not a waypoint. Nothing gets pinned automatically, so you have to compare the sketch against the world map and drop a custom marker yourself.

Open the map and read the treasure map side by side with it. The marked spot sits northeast of Tantari Woods, in the low, waterlogged ground beyond the tree line.

Move the cursor to that area and set a custom marker. Without it you will wander a large stretch of marsh, because the dig site itself is small and easy to walk straight past.

Digging up the treasure in the swamp

Travel northeast to your marker. The route drops into swampy terrain with thick brush and standing water, so expect slower movement than the forest paths.

Look for a pile of loose dirt and wood near the water’s edge. That heap of debris is the dig site, and it is the only interactable object in the immediate area.

Use the shovel on the pile. Digging takes a slice of in-game time, and once it finishes the buried container is exposed.

Loot the container. Everything inside transfers in one interaction, and the activity closes out immediately afterward.

Bandit’s Treasure Map: Tantari Woods rewards

The chest pays out currency, a legendary accessory, a piece of leg armor, and a consumable. The Knightly Ring is the reason to make the trip — it is a legendary item carrying defensive and ability-cooldown modifiers, weighs 0.10, and lists a value of 311.

Reward	Notes
Denarius (267)	Currency, paid straight into your purse
Knightly Ring	Legendary accessory, 0.10 weight, 311 value
Dark Wrapped Trousers	Leg armor
Minor Fortitude Paste (1)	Consumable
+17 XP	Awarded on completion

Note: the ring’s stat lines lean toward cooldown reduction and damage mitigation, including Witchcraft ability cooldown and damage bonuses alongside magical and physical damage reduction. Compare it against whatever you already have equipped before selling it.

How to confirm the activity is finished

A QUEST ENDED banner appears the moment you take the treasure, together with the +17 XP award. Bandit’s Treasure Map: Tantari Woods then drops off your active tracker and the loot appears in your inventory.

If nothing happens at the mound, there are only two likely causes. Either you have no shovel in your inventory, or you are standing at the wrong pile — the correct one sits close to the water in the swamp northeast of the camp, and the interaction prompt appears when you are directly on it.

The whole run is short enough to slot between larger objectives, and it is one of several bandit treasure maps scattered across the valley. Once you have done Tantari Woods, the pattern holds elsewhere: steal the map, read it against the world map, pin the spot yourself, and bring the shovel.
