To locate Captain Henqua’s Spoils treasure map, players should head to the lighthouse located in the western part of Calviger’s Landing. After arriving in The Living Lands, navigate to the southern part of the map to find this region, and then proceed westward.
Climb the lighthouse using the surrounding ledges and scaffolding, being cautious as you navigate the structure’s exterior. This ascent will lead you to the top, where you'll find Captain Henqua’s Spoils treasure map.

With the treasure map in hand, your next step is to find the actual treasure. Descend from the lighthouse and head to the nearby river. Follow the water northwards 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, then descend to the river bed. Swim westward to find an opening that leads to a cave. Once inside and back on solid ground, you'll discover a chest containing the treasure: the unique Wind and Wave shield.

The Wind and Wave shield enhances your gameplay with two significant buffs. Equipping it grants a 10% boost to movement speed and a 20% resistance to Frost Accumulation. Its Superb Quality makes it more powerful than other similar shields found in Dawnshore's starting area. With the right materials, such as Glasswood Branches and Adra Ban, you can upgrade it to Legendary quality, significantly enhancing its capabilities.
This guide outlines how to find Captain Henqua’s Spoils treasure map and the valuable Wind and Wave shield in *Avowed*. Happy exploring!
