Head to the Ruins of the Ancient in the Lake of Nine. The Historian Treasure map is on the beach.

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 it may contain things that you don’t want to see yet. The text, though, is spoiler-free.

The Historian buried treasure location

The Historian treasure map’s clue reads:

I wished to make a contribution to Fafnir’s collection of relics. I arrived to find the door locked and Reavers blocking the way I came. I quickly buried my treasure and hid as fast as I could. If I manage to escape, I’ll return to this spot.

The clue leads you to Fafnir’s Storeroom, which you’ll visit during the “Fafnir’s Hoard” Favor. Walk through the forest, until you see the doors for Fafnir’s Storeroom. The buried treasure is in front of the storeroom door by a fire (and also two ram wall carvings, like the drawing in the clue).
