Seafarer’s Boots treasure map location and solution in Avowed

The Seafarer’s Boots treasure map in Avowed gives you a bit more to go on than the other two Shatterscarp maps, Robe of the Arcane Cheater and Dead Man’s Mail.

Sure, the reference image is just rocks and water, but there’s only one area in the region with red water: the Sulfur Mines. Compared to the Robe of the Arcane Cheater, finding this treasure is much safer and simpler, and the boots waiting for you at the end are perfect if you find yourself staggering under the weight of enemy attacks too often.

This Avowed guide shows where to find the Seafarer’s Boots treasure map, where to find the treasure, and what reward you’ll get if you do so.

Where to find Seafarer’s Boots treasure map

This map is part of the picnic paraphernalia of an explorer who’s looking in entirely the wrong direction. He’s standing on a cliff path overlooking the Sand Sea, east of Thirdborn. Leave the city, turn right, and follow the path south when you can.

You’ll hear the man musing to himself, and while he sounds like some of the other characters who turned into Dreamthralls elsewhere in Avowed, he’s entirely safe. On the picnic blanket behind him is the Seafarer’s Boots map, along with a bunch of food you can swipe if your stores are running low.

Seafarer’s Boots location solution

This map shows you a river of red and a stone arch, with a broken stone tower looming in the distance. That tower is Tago’s Tower, east of the Deadfall Highlands, so the map location has to be even with the tower. The only possible area that fits the bill — river, red water, tower to the east — is a spot north of the Sulfur Miner’s Basecamp.

The fastest way to reach the location is by heading west from the Deadfall Highlands party camp. Spiders infest this area, so keep some grog or springberries on hand to cleanse poison in case you get caught in battle. Walk under the arch, and you’ll find a skeleton with some armor, an essence potion, a bit of gold, and the Wavebinder Boots.

Seafarer’s Boots reward

The Wavebinder Boots seem pretty basic as unique items go, though they pair well with other equipment meant for Wizard builds.

Wavebinder Boots enchantment

In most cases — except when dealing with enemies of a much higher tier than your armor — this enchantment means you’ll get staggered less when enemies attack you, which should let you fire off spells under duress.
