Treasure maps in The Blood of Dawnwalker are not handed out by NPCs. You take them off bandits. The Split Rock map is one of the better ones, because the chest it points to in Rockfalls holds a legendary chest piece and a master-tier greatsword rather than the usual pile of vendor junk.
Quick answer: Clear the bandit camp in Vallis Sarcora, take Treasure Map: Split Rock from the stash behind the hay bales, then travel to Rockfalls and dig at the glowing spot wedged between two large rocks on the snowy path to finish the quest.
Where to get Treasure Map: Split Rock in Vallis Sarcora
The quest does not exist until the map is in your inventory. It starts at a marked Bandit Camp in Vallis Sarcora, and the camp shows up on your map as a point of interest before you ever hear about the treasure.



Note: take everything else while the window is open, but watch your weight. Clearing a full camp is an easy way to trip the You are Overencumbered warning before you have even started the trip north.

The map does not drop a precise pin. It marks a search area in the Rockfalls region, and you have to spot the landmark yourself. The name is the hint, and the terrain is snow rather than the greenery of Vallis Sarcora.

Split Rock chest rewards
Digging unearths a buried chest. The quest closes out on the dig itself, so the loot sits in the chest afterwards and has to be taken manually.
| Reward | Type |
|---|---|
| Coat of Darkened Scales | Legendary armour |
| Finely Crafted Battleword | Master-tier greatsword |
| Denarius | Currency |
| Minor Regenerative Salve | Consumable |
| Golden Chalice | Valuable for selling |
The greatsword and the coat are the reason to make this trip. Both are well above what you are likely carrying when the camp first appears on your map, which makes the detour worth the travel time even if you skip the smaller items.
How to confirm the quest is complete
A Quest Ended banner appears on screen for Bandit’s Treasure Map: Rockfalls – Split Rock the instant the dig finishes, with a Loot prompt attached to the unearthed chest. Take the contents, and the quest disappears from your active list.

Two things stop this from working. If the quest never appeared in your log, you cleared the camp but left the map in the stash behind the hay bales, so go back and take it. If the dig spot will not highlight, you are in the right region but outside the marked search area, and the glow only shows up once you are standing among the split rocks themselves.
If the Loot button is greyed out on part of the haul, drop or sell surplus weight first. Overencumbrance is the most common reason players walk away from this chest with the Denarius but without the armour.
