Rockfalls – Split Rock Treasure Map Walkthrough (The Blood of Dawnwalker)

Where to loot the map in Vallis Sarcora, how to find the buried chest in Rockfalls, and what the dig pays out.

Where to loot the map in Vallis Sarcora, how to find the buried chest in Rockfalls, and what the dig pays out.

Treasure maps in The Blood of Dawnwalker are short, self-contained side quests, and the Rockfalls one pays out far better than the effort suggests. The map itself is not found in Rockfalls at all — it sits in a bandit camp several regions away, and picking it up is what puts the dig site on your map.

Quick answer: Clear the Bandit Camp in Vallis Sarcora and loot the chest for Treasure Map: Split Rock, then track the quest to Rockfalls, find the large split boulder in the snow, and dig the highlighted patch of ground beside it.


Get Treasure Map: Split Rock from the Vallis Sarcora bandit camp

The quest does not exist in your log until the map is in your inventory. The starting point is the Bandit Camp icon in Vallis Sarcora, described in the world map as “The hideout of dangerous outlaws.”

Open the world map, find the Bandit Camp marker in Vallis Sarcora, and set it as your tracked objective. The waypoint keeps you pointed at the camp while you ride or run across the region.

Clear the camp. The bandits attack on sight, so there is no stealth requirement here — just win the fight before you start searching the tents and huts.
Sweep the camp for lootable containers. Toggling your active abilities highlights nearby interactables, which makes the chest much easier to pick out among the camp clutter.

Open the chest and take Treasure Map: Split Rock, flagged in the loot window with the note “A bandit stash may be marked on it.” Taking it immediately starts the side quest Bandit’s Treasure Map: Rockfalls – Split Rock.

Find the split rock dig site in Rockfalls

The stash is nowhere near the camp you just cleared. The quest marker drops into the snowy Rockfalls region, so plan on a long trip north before you can cash the map in.

Open the map and track the Search for the treasure objective. The quest area appears as a marked zone in Rockfalls rather than a single pinpoint, so expect to do a short search on foot at the end.

Travel to the marked area and look for the landmark the quest is named after — a single large boulder cracked down the middle, standing out against the snow. The stash is buried at its base.
Walk up to the boulder until a patch of ground beside it lights up, then use the Dig Out the Treasure prompt. The chest is unearthed on the spot.

Open the unearthed chest and take everything inside. The QUEST ENDED banner confirms the side quest has closed out.

Rockfalls – Split Rock treasure rewards

This is a high-tier stash for a map quest. Alongside coin and a consumable, the chest holds a legendary chest armour piece and a master-tier greatsword.

Note: hauling a heavy chestpiece and a greatsword out at once can push you straight into You are Overencumbered. If that happens, sell or drop junk before you set off, or make the trip back to a merchant in short hops.


If the quest will not start or the dig prompt does not appear

Two things commonly go wrong here, and both are easy to check. If the quest never appeared in your log, the map is still in the camp — clearing the bandits alone does nothing, and the chest holding Treasure Map: Split Rock has to be opened and the item actually taken.

If you are standing in the Rockfalls search zone with no dig prompt, you are almost certainly at the wrong rock. The interaction only appears when the ground itself highlights, so circle the base of the split boulder rather than the surrounding cliffs.

Because the map and the treasure sit in completely different regions, the practical move is to grab the map whenever you clear that Vallis Sarcora camp and leave the dig for the next time your route takes you through Rockfalls. The quest sits quietly in your log until you get there.
