how exactly does treasure hunts work?

[Karambo]

hi everyone.

j just finished the game yesterday and now i have unlocked the treasure hunts. so far i understand tha ti need to be in one of the "free roam"-missions to find the treasure. but then? do i just randomly walk around the island or do i need to get clues first? and if yes, where and how?


thank you very much.

You get clues from the very beginning of the mission in the objectives window, then more are given as you progress through the mission.

[Space is the Place]

I´ll like to add to what Bertie added that you should read carefully and over the cursor over the objective in that window to get a drawing of the locations.

I´m mostly saying it because, the rythms about the specific treasures, do give you a clue about what type of challenge you are gonna face to get that treasure. Like if the rythm says something like "no bullets were found on the corpse", it may be a clue that your pistol will be gone once you start the quest. This is kind of relevant because there are a few treasure hunts where you can lock yourself out of the treasure depending on your actions before reaching it.

Also, once you are close to the place where the clue points most times the Marley and Afia will comment on it and a new object will be higlighted.
