Avowed Treasure Map - Earthy Aegis location

Avowed contains several Treasure Maps for gamers to puzzle out. That said, the Emerald Stair’s Earthy Aegis Treasure Map is a must-have if you’re a melee player. It grants you an incredible shield that deals damage to attackers and can also potentially remove poison from you without having to waste valuable Springberries. You can do this at any point in the game, as long as you have access to the region and the location on the map the treasure is contained in.

In fact, you may want to wait until later in the game, as when you find a Unique, its quality is based on the gear you’re currently equipped with. This helps if you’re trying to find the Earthy Aegis Treasure Map in Avowed or any other Treasure Map, for that matter. This article explains more on that.

The Earthy Aegis Treasure Map is in an interesting location in Avowed. Head to the Neku Tadek camp and break camp when ready. Then, turn left to see the tents on the platform above. Climb the rocks and stand on the root at the end of the path. You’ll see a hole in a building that otherwise has no way in. Run and jump across and loot the room — the map is in the treasure chest.
