All 22 treasure map locations
Competitor guide coverage has moved from a simple treasure-map overview to full 22-map routes plus new fragment mechanics. This page gives the safe checklist and points players to exact-coordinate references without copying full tables.
What the current guide market confirms
PC Gamer and Games.gg both treat treasure maps as a major launch route. Their coverage points to 22 standard maps, plus additional map fragments restored through the Treasure Dealer system.
- The map clue must be in your codex before the buried chest interaction appears.
- The remake changes enough island and clue placement that original 2013 routes should not be trusted blindly.
- Treasure rewards commonly include reales, plans, art, or completion-critical upgrades.
Safe route order
Do early story zones first, then clear nearby treasure maps as fast travel opens. Save late-game coordinate sweeps for after Jackdaw upgrades and major city access are comfortable.
When to use coordinate lists
Use a full coordinate guide when you are stuck on one map or chasing 100% completion. For normal play, the better route is map clue first, nearby synchronization point second, and buried chest third.
