  • Finding The Sunken Treasure

Pirates are best known for three things. First, sailing the seven seas. Second, raising the black flag and boarding ships for plunder. Third, strolling about the coast while searching for some sort of buried treasure. Their search for Queen Zuleyka's Treasure in The Witcher 3 is mostly the latter.

You might encounter this intrepid crew on Velen's coast after they have already found what they are searching for. All you will need to do is swim over and take the treasure for yourself. After all, Geralt is a far more famous person than they are. He even has songs made in his honor.

Where To Start Treasure Hunt: Queen Zuleyka's Treasure

This quest begins after you pick up a note at a pirate camp on the west coast of Velen. It's in the middle of the camp, laying on a bedroll and with over a dozen irate pirates between you and the location of the treasure.

Try to approach the area from the north or south. Doing so will make it harder for the pirates to surround you, reducing the chance of being overwhelmed.

This fight will be one of endurance. Pace yourself and use Hanged Man's Venom alongside bombs to maximize damage against humans and groups.

You will need to read the note before the treasure's location is identified on the map. Once that is done, swim into the ocean to begin searching.

Finding The Sunken Treasure

The journey over to the search area will be eventful. Drowners patrolling the ocean will notice a white-haired witcher paddling through and try to attack. As always, underwater combat is limited to your crossbow. They should be killed within a shot or two.

There is hidden treasure on a small spit just off the coast. It's guarded by a Noonwraith and can be difficult at lower levels. It is worth tackling if only for convenience. After all, you've already reached the area.

The loot is still within a sunken ship's hold. You will need to swim over to the ship's deck and swim inside through a hole to find the treasure. Loot it to end the quest.
