Try the water near the bears. It usually pops up there.

[sh4dow]

Hmm i have no idea how poeple have problem with tihs, i have done it several times and never had problem finding it ..

[sh4dow]

well... i don't know either, i just made this little video to demonstrate my case. i've basically done that spastic thing i do here all over the island:

Have you looked at the map in inventory. I think I read somewhere that opening the map is a prerequisite for the game to activate it. Even if you know all 10 positions I think you have to open it up at least once. You probably have - just in case not.

[sh4dow]

indeed i have... at first i just went where all the crosses are and hoped for a treasure hunting beam of light to appear...

Shadow, there is a spot you can only get to on umkas by flying. It is a little bit of shallow water slightly BEHIND the cave the bears are in. You can walk behind the bears okay, but the little bit of watery ground.

Here, I'll attach a quick screenshot.

i see... well, since i can't fly yet (at least i'm assuming i'll have to learn that somehow and it's not a feature i've missed out on right from the beginning?), that'll have to wait then. thanks

Yes, flying happens when you complete a certain mid game quest . Oh, and the location of the treasure is always a random one of those exes. Meaning that you will sometimes, but rarely, be unable to do that quest until later in the game. Kinda a weird decision in my opinion.
