Where the bandit map sits, how to handle the bear guarding the dig site, and what the chest holds.

Bandit’s Treasure Map: Laslea Glen is one of the small optional activities you can pick up in the opening area of The Blood of Dawnwalker, and it hides a Level 5 sword behind a bear and one hour of your clock. The map itself is easy to miss because it sits on a table inside a bandit hut you have to clear first, and the drawing it gives you does not line up neatly with the world map.

Quick answer: Clear the bandit camp east of Laslea Glen near Outlaw’s Gorge Shrine, take the Treasure Map: Laslea Glen off the table inside the hut, then head east to the cave, kill the Ravenous Bear, grab the shovel leaning nearby, and dig the mound of loose earth. Digging costs one Time Segment.

Where to find the Laslea Glen Treasure Map

Fast travel to Outlaw’s Gorge Shrine, on the eastern side of the Laslea Glen area. From there, follow the slope toward the abandoned house sitting in the hills.

Deal with the group hanging around the house. There is a Renegade Bruiser, two more bandits, and a wolf, and they will all pile on at once, so pull them near the building rather than fighting in the open. Loot the Bruiser afterwards for a manual and some coin.
Go inside and take the treasure map off the wooden table by the door. That single pickup starts the Bandit’s Treasure Map: Laslea Glen activity. Sweep the rest of the interior before you leave, since the hut also holds a Golden Earring, a Balm of Fortitude, Hunter’s Trousers, and the Broad Swing manual.

Reading the map and setting a marker

The red X on the parchment is approximate, so do not try to match it pixel for pixel against the world map. What matters is the direction. Open your map, look a short way east of the hut you just cleared, and drop a custom marker on the cave sitting in that pocket of hills. It is close enough that walking there takes under a minute.

How to beat the Ravenous Bear guarding the treasure

The bandits left the dig site to a Ravenous Bear, and it hits hard enough at this stage of the game to end a careless run. It has two unblockable attacks. The first is a straight charge that knocks you flat. The second starts with the bear rearing onto its back legs before slamming the ground directly in front of it.

Neither can be parried, so dodge sideways instead of backward on both. A perfect dodge opens a window for a counterattack, and stringing those together is the cleanest way to bring it down without trading health. Once it dies, you can loot Bear Meat, Bear Liver, and Animal Bones from the corpse, along with any plants scattered around the cave mouth.

Digging up the Laslea Glen treasure

Move into the cave and hold Focus Mode. The patch of disturbed earth lights up with a yellow glow, and there are bodies lying nearby as an extra landmark.
Inspect the mound. If you are not already carrying a digging tool, the game asks for one, and a shovel is propped against the cave wall a few steps away. Pick it up.
Interact with the mound again and confirm the dig. This advances the clock by one Time Segment, then reveals a chest. Opening it and looting the contents ends the activity.

Chest rewards

RewardWhat it does
100 DenariusCurrency for merchants, armourers, innkeepers, and blacksmiths
Recipe for Minor Fortitude PasteAdds the paste to your craftable list
Polished Long CleaverLevel 5 sword around 90 DPS, unlocks a Weapon Art bonus attack for Coen
Gold valuableA sellable trinket such as Golden Earrings, a Golden Mug, or a Ruby Diadem
100 XPAwarded when the activity closes out

The Cleaver is the real prize here. It is the reason the detour is worth an hour, and its Weapon Art gives Coen an extra damage burst on a cooldown during fights.


How to confirm the activity is finished

Two on-screen cues tell you where you stand. Picking up the parchment adds Bandit’s Treasure Map: Laslea Glen to your quest tracker with the objective “Search for the treasure.” Looting the buried chest replaces that with the quest-ended notification and pays out the XP.

If the dig will not start, the cause is almost always one of two things. Either you have not picked up the shovel from the cave wall, so the interaction stops at a tool prompt, or you are trying to inspect the wrong patch of ground because the X on the parchment sits slightly off from the real spot. Focus Mode settles both by highlighting the correct mound.

One last scheduling note. Because the dig consumes a full hour, it is worth doing on a run where you have already banked the time-critical Prologue tasks, since some of those fail outright if the day runs out before you report back.
