BotW Sunken Treasure: Golden Triangle Location and Chests

Sunken Treasure is a side quest in Lurelin Village in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Rozel, the village head and a fisherman in his youth, has heard of treasure lying in the sea nearby, and being too old to look himself, asks you to go in his place. The only clue is a single line, but the spot is easy to recognize. For the full list of side quests see the side quest list.

How do you start Sunken Treasure?

During the day, find Rozel on the Lurelin Village wharf. He introduces himself: “Are you a traveler? Welcome to Lurelin Village. I’m Rozel. I’m the head of this village.” Choose “About the ocean…” and he tells you the legend:

“There are tales passed down of sunken treasure in the ocean around here… I would look for it myself if I were a bit younger, but I’ve grown old… But you look like you have a young pair of legs and a strong back. Do you want to go look in my stead?”

Choose “I’m on it!” and he gives you the clue and lends you his raft:

“I couldn’t be happier to hear it. Now, according to the old tales… ‘The treasure sleeps in the center of the golden triangle.’ Oh, by the by, do you happen to have a boat? If not, I can lend you my raft. It’s tied up at the wharf. Help yourself.”

Where is the golden triangle?

Open the map and look at the sea south of Lurelin Village: three rocks stick out of the water in a triangle. The chests lie on the seabed right in the middle of them (Show on map). When you are done, the Adventure Log says you “retrieved the treasure from the waters off Clarnet Coast.”

How do you get there?

The rocks are some way offshore. Any of these works:

1. Rozel’s raft. Cut the rope that ties it up, stand on it and fan the sail with a Korok Leaf to move it.
2. Push the raft with Magnesis. Stand on the raft, grab a metal object with Magnesis and push it forward to drive the raft.
3. Swim or use Cryonis. Swim if you have the stamina, or make ice blocks on the water to stand on.

How do you get the chests up?

Once you are between the three rocks, switch on Magnesis and look down into the sea: several metal chests light up on the seabed. Pull them up one at a time and set them on the raft or on land before opening them. There are four:

The Thunderblade is a one-handed sword with 22 attack and 36 durability that deals electric damage; its other spots are on the Thunderblade page. What the gems are worth is on gem farming.

What is the reward?

The chest contents are the reward. Go back to Rozel in the village and he says: “You really found it?! Ho ho! Incredible! After all these years, people still manage to surprise me. You know, there might be some treasure that yet sleeps in this ocean.” The quest is complete.

He is right: there are more chests on the seabed near Lurelin, so scan the shallows with Magnesis.
