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.

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.

Opening the map is not a prerequisite. I got it by accident without ever opening the map the first time I got the quest.

Well, it cost me to me sometimes on some games to find the treasure. Sometimes i clear umkas and go tapping the D key all the time around the island. I never found the treasure on the mini-bears lake. If u dont find the treasure there, just go taping the D key again for all the island. I missed the treasure on 2 games for no reason. Level 48 and u cant fly wtf?? U gain the flying horse alias "pegasus" once u clear the castle Hagni of montero. (the castle on the center of Montero). U didnt clear it? ow, u must be near the end of the game and still can fly.. weird. And if u cant fly, that means u dont have the temple of love stone, and u need it to finish the game.

I have flight, I dug around in the bear pond (and everywhere else), but still no treasure.
