Embarking on the blacksmith questline in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 introduces players to Hired Hand Ventza’s treasure map, a rewarding find that could significantly enhance your in-game wealth and arsenal.
Similar to its predecessor, KCD2 features a variety of treasure maps scattered throughout its expansive world. This game encourages exploration, and finding these hidden treasures adds an exciting layer to your adventure. One of the first maps players encounter is Hired Hand Ventza’s, which is obtained after defeating him while retrieving the blacksmith’s cart. However, should you miss the map, the treasure is still accessible, ensuring that players of all exploration levels can benefit.
Locating Hired Hand Ventza’s Treasure
To uncover the treasure indicated by Ventza’s map, head towards the southern region of Apollonia, specifically to the tunnel located at the cliffs POI. According to the map, the entrance to the cave is situated on your left, while the treasure can be found near a skull on your right.


Arriving from the primary bandit camp within Apollonia, proceed southward, navigating through the rocky terrain and the neighboring smaller camp—be cautious of Cumans if you plan to return later. At the fork in the road, look for the cave entrance to your left and a substantial rock to your right. The treasure lies beneath the rock on the right side, directly under the skull marker.



Rewards from Hired Hand Ventza’s Quest
- Hunting Crossbow
- Fine Bolts (x27)
- Strong Bowman’s Brew (x2)
- Marksman’s Kit (x2)
This loot is invaluable, especially for aspiring archers and crossbowmen. The Fine Bolts are effective against bandits, and the consumables enhance your archery skills and aid in repairing your equipment. Additionally, keep an eye out for a nearby billhook and bearded axe, which can be utilized or sold to the blacksmith for a quick financial boost.
While exploring the tunnel, you may encounter another treasure map on the wall. Following this new map could lead to even greater rewards.

Decoding the Tunnel in the Cliffs Map
The tunnel map directs players northward from Trosky Castle, guiding you to the rocks south of the main road. The path leading to this hidden treasure POI is easily navigated, especially if you approach from the cliffs’ southern side.


Rewards for the Tunnel in the Cliffs Map
- Composite Kettle Hat
- Mail Coif
- Gambeson Short
- Saxon Hauberk
- Costers
- Leather Gloves
- Strong Buck’s Blood
- Strong Embrocation (x2)
- 49.8 Groschen
- Armourer’s Kit (x5)
- Blacksmith’s Kit (x2)
To access the chest’s contents, ensure you can lockpick medium locks. If you’re unable to, your treasure haul will be limited to the kits found in the bag nearby. For lockpicking practice, consider visiting Miller Kreyzl during the Wedding Crashers quest or consuming a Quickfinger potion to boost your skills temporarily.
Overall, pursuing both treasure maps grants you an excellent foundational armor set, equipping you against bandits and various threats lurking in the game. Alternatively, the loot can be sold to fund upgrades to your equipment.
