During the Lake of Nine’s low water phase, you can find the treasure map near the Mason’s Channel boat dock. It’s on the shores just as you leave, in the vicinity of the Mystic Gateway. Browse the gallery above for the precise location.

Editor’s note: We captured some of the images in the gallery below late into our God of War game. If you haven’t completed “The Sickness” Journey, then they may contain things that you don’t want to see yet. The text, though, is spoiler-free.

The Island of Light treasure map’s clue reads:

While we hail from Alfheim, the Light Elves make sure to watch over Midgard. I’ve spent most of my life here at this outpost and I will likely die here.

The clue leads you to Light Elf Outpost. Here’s how to find the Island of Light buried treasure:

1. Paddle to Light Elf Outpost, in the northwestern corner of the Lake of Nine.
2. From the dock, head straight and up the light bridge that leads to the Nornir chest.
3. Turn so your back is against the chest, and take the path right, jumping over the gap.
4. Walk up the short ramp and turn right.
5. The treasure is buried on the other side of the gate. (If you haven’t raised the gate, check out our Light Elf Outpost guide.)

Unearth the treasure to get Unyielding Cinders, a Legendary item used to upgrade axe pommels with burn damage, among other things that you can see in the gallery above.
