With a new week, comes a new Battle Pass treasure challenge. Week nine’s treasure hunt is of the ‘map’ variety. This challenge requires you to find a map squirreled away in a specific location, decipher the location the map displays (usually a crudely drawn rendition of a location, sometimes with a little information omitted or manipulated) and ‘dig’ up that treasure for your Battle Pass tier. This week’s map is located in Shifty Shafts, not a particularly big or confusing area, so finding the map is a cinch.
Remember, like every ‘find the treasure’ based challenge (that isn’t a ‘Road Trip’ one), you can skip straight to the location of the treasure if you already know where it is, bypassing the map step entirely. If you’re not interested in how the treasure is found – or you’re in a hurry – just skip to the final section of the guide. It will have a picture of the treasure location marked on the map as well as a picture of the treasure itself. For those interested in the whole process (or only want a partial answer revealed to them), read on.
Shifty Shafts Treasure Map
The treasure map is located on the bottom tunnel level (underground section) of Shifty Shafts. It’s not a particularly well hidden map, just descend down into the mining tunnels and you’ll see it posted on the tunnel walls. This appears at D7 on the main map’s grid.
This week’s treasure map is very on-the-nose. The map is rotated 90 degrees clockwise (to the right) which means the map is being viewed by someone from the east. The location pictured is fairly iconic, being the only landmark of its type on the map. Just north of Salty Springs is a large rock outcropping, if you view from the east, there will be a ledge about one third of the way to the top with a tree on it. This is the location of the treasure, so head on over there.
Salty Springs Treasure
Once you reach the area, I recommend approaching the outcropping from the south side climbing about halfway up. Once you’ve climbed up you’ll notice that there is a small squarish outcropping on the southeastern side that appears a bit more isolated from the rest of the group. The treasure is the very southeastern edge of this mass. This will appear as F6 on the main map’s grid.
As per usual, climb up there, interact with the treasure and voila, finito.
This is the only guide worthy challenge for the week. The rest of the challenges are of the typical variety, eliminate stuff and do an odd task or two (this week; do tricks in an ATK or Shopping Cart and visit Stone Heads). If you’re looking for a quick, but complete overview of the week 9 challenges, check out that guide here.
