Final Fantasy 16 (XVI) contains one Treasure Map collectible. It’s a curiosity found at the Great Southern Gate region of Waloed continent. Viewing it from the inventory reveals a riddle “a crudely drawn map in whose margin is scrawled the message: To all who would seek to mint gil, follow ye the path to Kretov”. Picking up the treasure map spawns a treasure chest in Titan’s Wake in the south of Dhalmekia that contains the One Man’s Treasure, which can be sold for 100,000 gil. This guide explains exactly where to find the treasure map location and how to solve it.
Treasure Map Location
The treasure map is found in Waloed > Great Southern Gate. This is between the fast travel obelisks “Eistla” & “Ravenwit Walls”. Check the north-west corner of the area, there’s a golden-sparkling item in the grass near a corpse. It’s not in a chest.
Upon picking it up you can view the treasure map riddle under Items > Curiosities.
Treasure Map Solution
The treasure map leads to Dhalmekia > The Gilded Path (fast travel obelisk) > Titan’s Wake. In the south of Titan’s Wake is an abandoned campsite on a hill with the treasure chest. It’s guarded by a Hill Gigas and some Goblins. Defeat the enemies, then open the chest for a material called “One Man’s Treasure”. That’s the solution to the treasure map.
What to do with One Man’s Treasure
You can sell the One Man’s Treasure for 100,000 gil at any merchant. It will be in the materials menu. The item description says “Unwrapping the oilskin bundle reveals several seemingly unrelated objects of indeterminate provenance – spoils of a lifelong pursuit of fortune that ultimately ended in tragedy”.
Selling the treasure is the only use, it’s not needed for anything else.
That’s all there is to finding the treasure in FF XVI.
