Treasure Map 12 points you north, straight into the heart of Demeniss. This guide will pinpoint the map's location and the path to the prize, cleverly hidden behind a natural barrier.

Where to Find Treasure Map 12

The map is located on a small, unmarked shrine. This shrine is located in the northern part of Demeniss, positioned quite a distance out and just below the Triangle Ring shown on the Abyss Map.

Keep an eye out for the shrine as you explore the outskirts of the region, as the map is simply sitting there waiting to be claimed in Crimson Desert.

Solving the Map and Finding the Cave

Once you have the map, you need to head toward a specific waterfall. The game does not always provide direct feedback when you reach the correct spot, but looking for waterfalls is a reliable strategy for treasure hunters in Pywel.

If you find a waterfall in the area indicated by the map, there is a very high chance a cave is hidden directly behind the curtain of water.

Breaking Through to the Loot

To get inside the cave behind the waterfall, you need to use a specific move to break through. You can use a Pierce Attack by combining your sword swing and punch abilities in Crimson Desert.

Once you strike the water with enough force, you will be able to see the entrance to the cave. Head inside to claim your rewards and complete the trek.
