“It’s the Yaran archaeological find of the century. We’ve never seen the likes of these treasures, a true glimpse into our past, and what does the regime do? They step in and shut it all down. It’s a crime. They can’t destroy the past, I won’t let them.

The government is afraid of Triada? I’m going to give them a real reason.

Dr. Halfmain

You have to go to a different location. A diamond shaped Treasure Hunt location should now be new in the south west of Concepcion.

Go to this location:
