The Blood of Dawnwalker: Bandit’s Treasure Map Boar’s Back Location

Boar’s Back hides one of the ten treasure maps scattered across The Blood of Dawnwalker, and the payoff is a stash with a combat manual in it. The catch is that the map only marks a rough tree grove, not an X you can walk to, so the search circle can eat a chunk of your night if you wander.

Quick answer: Steal Treasure Map: Boars Back from the barrels in the bandit camp west of Svartrau City, travel to the search circle northwest of the city, and dig the yellow-tinted patch of soil behind the single large tree standing in the middle of the grove.

What the Boar’s Back treasure run costs you

The dig itself is logged as an activity called Bandit’s Treasure Map: Boar’s Back, and it burns 1 Time Segment. You also need a shovel before the dig prompt will do anything. Bring one with you rather than hoping for a loose tool at the site.

Where to find Treasure Map: Boars Back

The map belongs to a bandit gang and is sitting in their camp. Nothing gates it behind a story beat, so you can grab it as soon as you can reach the camp and survive whoever is standing in it.

Open the world map and look west of Svartrau City for the bandit camp icon. Track it so the marker stays on your compass while you ride out.

Clear the camp. The bandits and their leader will come at you on approach, and killing them lets you loot the tents without interruption.

Walk to the pile of white barrels beside the tent and take the map. The interaction reads as a steal prompt, and the item lands in your inventory as Treasure Map: Boars Back, described simply as taken from some bandits.

Sweep the rest of the camp before you leave. The chest the leader was guarding is worth opening while you are already there.

Boar’s Back dig site location

Picking up the map adds a search circle to your world map rather than a pinpoint marker. It sits northwest of Svartrau City, in the Boar’s Back region, and the journal entry only tells you a tree grove was marked. The stash is under one specific tree, and the illustration on the map is a rough sketch of it, not a precise coordinate.

Set the search circle as your destination and head into Boar’s Back from the south. The route runs through thick forest, so expect to push through vegetation instead of following a clean road.

Climb the rocky ground into the search area. Once the tracker switches to the Boar’s Back treasure objective, you are inside the circle and can start looking for the landmark tree.

Head to the centre of the circle, where the terrain opens into a dry riverbed lined with dead trees. One large tree stands out clearly from the rest; that is the one on the map.

Walk behind the tree and look for the patch of loose, yellow-tinted soil. Using Focus mode makes the spot glow if the ground is hard to read in the dark.

Interact with the soil and choose Dig Out the Treasure. A short digging animation plays, then the chest opens.

Boar’s Back treasure rewards

The stash pays out coin, two wearable pieces, and a manual. The manual is the reason to make the trip, since combat manuals unlock permanent abilities rather than one-off stat bumps.

Confirming the activity is complete

The journal resolves in one of two ways. A successful dig closes the entry with a line about finding the bandits’ stash and taking the valuables; if you leave the region without locating the grove, it closes on the failure line instead, noting you never found the marked trees.

Two things usually stop the dig from firing. Without a shovel in your inventory, the soil will not accept the interaction at all. And standing anywhere other than directly on the disturbed patch behind the landmark tree gives you no prompt, no matter how close you are to the circle’s centre.

Because the run costs a Time Segment, it is worth doing on the same trip as anything else you have queued in the region rather than as a dedicated round trip from Svartrau City.

Once the chest is emptied, the map stays in your book collection as a record of the find, and the search circle disappears from your world map. Nothing else in Boar’s Back is tied to it, so you are free to move straight on to the next map in the set.
