This quest not only tests your navigational skills but also your combat prowess as you face the dangers hidden beneath the waves. In this guide, we'll walk you through each step necessary to successfully complete the Coast of Wrecks quest, ensuring you gather every treasure along the way.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

  • Start the Quest

    • Make your way to the Skellige Isles. You can begin this quest by finding a treasure map that can either be purchased from vendors or found in various locations.
    • Look for the “Coast of Wrecks” treasure map, usually available around the southern part of Skellige or as loot from defeated enemies.

  • Prepare for Exploration

    • Equip your character with appropriate gear for underwater exploration. It's recommended to have a sufficient number of Swallow potions on hand for health regeneration.
    • Make sure you have your boat, the Skellige longship, ready for travel. Ensure you have enough supplies for health restoration.

  • Head to the Coast of Wrecks

    • Set your waypoint to the specific location marked on the treasure map, usually located towards the eastern coast of Skellige.
    • Navigate your boat to the area. Keep an eye out for hostile creatures, such as Sirens or Drowners, when you arrive nearby.

  • Dive Underwater

    • Once near the marked area, look for sunken ships or shiny objects below the surface. Position your boat close to a wreck site.
    • Press the appropriate button (depending on your platform) to surface dive into the water.

  • Explore Shipwrecks for Clues

    • As you dive, explore the wrecked ships carefully. Search for any glowing objects that might indicate loot or quest items.
    • You may encounter underwater creatures—be ready to defend yourself or avoid them if possible.

  • Retrieve the Treasure

    • Look for a chest or a container. Open it to retrieve the treasure—often gold, valuable items, or unique gear.
    • Pay attention to the notes or messages found in the treasure that may lead you to further quests or information.

  • Return to the Surface

    • Once you’ve gathered the treasure from the wrecks, make your way back to the surface to regroup and recuperate before continuing on your journey.

  • Conclude the Quest

    • After retrieving all items and exploring the area, exit the dive and sail back to a nearby port or town.
    • You can now go to a merchant to sell off your loot or examine anything rare you’ve collected for additional quest lines.
