1. Read the letter.
Yellowed letter
Mate!
If you’re reading this letter, means you’re a free man. Knew Drakenborg could never break you. I feel damned bad it was you they fingered back then – fate's a bitch atimes, ain't she? But you're a made man now: I hid your part of the loot in that cave they wouldn’t let us play in when we were young. Was full of them massive spiders then, but not a sign of the critters now. Hunters claim they’ve migrated elsewhere, not enough to eat here, so they won’t be coming back any time soon. So it’s safe, but the bad memories do a great job keeping out nosy hayseeds – making it the ideal hiding spot for loot.
The chest is buried in the second part of the cave. Get it and you'll be a rich man and can drink and wench till the end of your days. See you later, you know where, we’ll bathe in wine and live in luxury.
A.D.
The letter was from a thief informing his partner about where he had hidden their takings. To their great misfortune, the damp cave he had chosen was also home to monstrous spiders, who'd made the treasure's hiding spot the very heart of their lair…
2. Search the cave for a chest using your Witcher Senses.
Get rid of the ten or so arachnomorphs (34) that inhabit the first cavern and go deeper into the cave, where you will encounter one more, bigger arachnomorph (34). Kill it and loot the small chest in the middle of the cave.
The letter told the truth – Geralt found the hidden treasure and kept a one hundred percent finder's fee for himself.
