Unearthing Secrets: A Guide to Wealth Across Games
Ever hear “X marks the spot”? In gaming, sometimes “pickaxe,” “sword,” or a well-aimed “arrow” marks the spot for treasure. Who guards these treasures? Treasure Hoarders. They are not your casual squirrels. These are organized and comedic factions focused on their loot.
Genshin Impact’s Treasure Hoarders: A Global Threat
In the colorful world of Genshin Impact, Treasure Hoarders are everywhere. They scamper across Teyvat, with the highest concentration in Liyue. You can consider Liyue as the headquarters. They are practically everywhere.
Location, Location: Where to Find Genshin’s Hoarders
While Liyue is their stronghold, they do pop up in other regions. Here are the main hotspots:
- Liyue: This area is a Treasure Hoarder paradise. You can’t roam without finding a camp. Just explore, and you’ll find them.
- Mondstadt (Dragonspine Area): There are few in Mondstadt. You can find some near Dragonspine. Teleport to Dragonspine Camp and walk along the shoreline to discover groups there.
- Inazuma, Sumeru, and The Chasm: These regions have Hoarders, but they are not as common as in Liyue. Keep a lookout while you explore.
Meet the Bosses: Treasure Hoarder Leadership
Every chaotic group has a leader. Treasure Hoarders have a few noteworthy individuals:
- Freckle Huang: He is the leader of Liyue’s Treasure Hoarders. Don’t expect much. He is more a figurehead than a real boss.
- Raptor (“Flying Thief On The Horizon”): This name sounds fierce, but he is just a Marksman who should focus on aiming more than his flashy title.
Treasure Hoarder Keys: Your Ticket to More Treasures!
Treasure Hoarders love locked items. Cages, chests—you name it. They aren’t particularly bright. They leave keys lying around… on them.
How to Get a Treasure Hoarder Key
Finding a Treasure Hoarder Key is easy:
- Beat ‘Em Up: Locate a camp, cause chaos, and beat them. It’s like smashing a piñata, but you get a key instead!
- Chest Reward: Clear a camp, and a chest appears. Open it! Usually, it contains a Treasure Hoarder Key. They reward you for defeating them with a key to their secrets. Makes sense, right?
Key Uses: Unlocking Goodies
You have a key. Now what? Time to unlock some items!
- Cages and Locked Chests: These keys work for Treasure Hoarder locks. Find a cage with an NPC or a mysterious chest, and unlock it. Treasure awaits!

- Quest Reward: Complete “Thief-Catcher” quest, and receive this map. Consider it a consolation prize for engaging with their thievery.
Map’s Purpose: Locate Camps
Don’t expect a detailed masterpiece. It’s just a Treasure Hoarder map, after all. Its main use is:
- Camp Locations: The map pinpoints Treasure Hoarder camps. Think of it as a guide for where they stash their loot.
- One-Time Use: Don’t get too attached! The map disappears post-quest. It vanishes because the Traveler is too honest to keep a thief’s map.
