- Treasure outside Old Dalan’s home ()
- The linked Royal Palace Cellars treasure ()
- The linked Nalbina Dungeon Confiscatory treasure ()
- The complete block of 16 treasure containers on the southern beach of The Vaddu Strand in Phon Coast ()
The walkthrough will identify each exact group again at the moment it appears. Do not generalize this into “never open treasure”; only the linked groups matter. At Phon Coast, unrelated treasure and the Hunters’ Camp are safe. Opening even one container in the tightly packed 4 by 4 Vaddu Strand block breaks the guaranteed-spear condition.
