With the treasure map in hand, your next destination is the actual location of the loot. Descend from the lighthouse and head towards the nearby river. Follow the river north until you reach a broken bridge, located just northeast of the Old Pargrun Wall and the Western Pargrun Wall Beacon fast travel point.
Continue to the southern end of the structure and prepare to descend into the river bed. Start swimming and look for an opening towards the west, which will lead you to a cave. Once inside, you'll find solid ground and a chest containing the unique Wind and Wave shield, your treasure from Captain Henqua’s Spoils.
