With the treasure map in hand, your next step is to find the actual location of Captain Henqua’s Spoils. Descend from the lighthouse and head towards the nearby river.

Continue to the southern end of the structure and prepare to enter the river bed. Swim towards the west until you find an opening leading to a cave. Once inside, you'll find solid ground and a chest containing the treasure: the unique Wind and Wave shield.
