Treasure Hunter

Treasure 1 - Hanging Rock (America)

The first treasure can be found above Cholla Springs, look on the map North-West of the cactus for a series of rocks near a large number of short roads. When you reach the giant rock, look for the gap between the main rock and one nearest the road. In the gap is the first treasure chest containing a gold bar and the next map!

Treasure 2 - Del Lobo Rock (America)

Set your map marker South-East of Fort Mercer (by the river, between the two reindeers. You need to ride to the high part of the mountain where you should come across a campsite and a gap in the rocks ahead. Save here first, then walk down the cliff edge.

Move slowly as it’s very easy to slip off of the cliff and down to the rocks below. The rocks signifying the hidden treasure is half-way down the side of the cliff on your left, so take your time and restart if you fall.

Treasure 3 - Tumbleweed (America)

If you happen to have this map when you meet up with Seth in his final mission, you can collect it from the large house that you both enter (where he finds his ‘treasure’). It’s in the basement of this house in the deserted town of Tumbleweed. Look for the skull on the back wall in the basement, and search the rocks for the gold bar and treasure map No. 4.

Treasure 4 - Rio Del Toro (Mexico)

You can’t reach this treasure until Irish takes you across the river in his ‘boat’. When you land in Mexico, you need to set a path North-West of the town of Chuparosa and look for the 2 sets of broken walls by the river. When you see the tree with the skulls on it opposite, walk in between the gap in the wall and you’ll find the gold bar and next map here.

Treasure 5 - Crooked Toes (Mexico)

From treasure 4’s location, set your waypoint for the green house by the edge of the river, due East. When you reach the house, look left and you should spot a large rock formation nearby that sort-of looks like a toe at the top.

Run over to this and climb the side of it all the way to the top. At the very top you’ll find the next rock pile signifying the hidden treasure chest.

Treasure 6 - Ojo Del Diablo (Mexico)

South of the town of Chuparosa is the drawing of a large rock on the map. Head for this rock and when you get near, you should notice a large stone archway overhanging the road. Make your way underneath this overhang and run up the right-hand side.

Double-back on yourself and surrounded by a small rock arrangement is the box under that familiar pile of stones. Open it for another gold bar and the next treasure map!

Treasure 7 - Roca De Madera (Mexico)

Check your map for the picture of an Armadillo (it’s very close to where you first landed in Mexico). There’s a large rock up here high up, head to it and then look East down the river. There’s a cliff edge on your side overlooking the river.

Run down towards it and stay on the wide part of the cliff (so there’s also a cliff face to your left) and keep heading all the way down to the end, where the rock pile and the next treasure map is waiting for you.

Treasure 8 - Beechers Hope (Great North)

This treasure is located in between your ranch and the picture of the Buffalo’s on the map. There’s a junction in the road (running south), so set your waypoint for here. Look out for a tree that has been split down the middle (probably by lightening) and a stone wall nearby (the box is near this stone wall).

Treasure 9 - Nekoti Rock (Great North)

The ninth and final treasure is located at the top of the Kenoti Rock (North of Tall Trees). Make your way up the side of this mountain until you reach the very top and you should spot a cave on your left. Head inside and the final treasure pile is sitting on the ground on the right-hand side.

Congratulations! You now have an extra trophy/more gamerpoints and you can now carry more items!
