God of War: Ragnarok brings back Buried Treasures from the first game. You will once again need to first find a Treasure Map before being able to decipher clues to track down its Buried Treasure.
Unlike Legendary Chests and Nornir Chests, Buried Treasures mostly contain crafting materials and resources to help you upgrade your Blades of Chaos, Leviathan Axe, and Draupnir Spear. That as well as armor.
There are a total of 10 Buried Treasures to find across multiple realms in the game. Since their Treasure Maps only offer a written or visual clue, the following guide will help your search by marking the exact locations of every Buried Treasure in God of War: Ragnarok.
Something to keep in mind is that you need to find the Treasure Map to be able to loot its Buried Treasure. Even if you know where the treasure is buried, you still need to get its Treasure Map first.
