1919  
2020 The map appears during the Traces of Intruder quest, which is the second mission in the Secret of the Lost Seal quest chain. In this quest, Marquis Serkis asks the player to investigate three locations for clues about a thief who stole the Seal of House Serkis:
2121  
2222 Torchlight Beacon (this location)EverfrostLioncrest Watchtower (the correct / required location)
2323  
2424 While all three locations can be investigated, only Lioncrest Watchtower contains the clues needed to advance the quest. Torchlight Beacon and Everfrost are considered optional investigation sites. The map at Torchlight Beacon provides atmospheric context about the thief's movements but does not contribute to quest completion.

3434 Notes
3535  
3636 Many players skip Torchlight Beacon entirely and go straight to Lioncrest Watchtower to save time. However, visiting the beacon provides additional lore about the thief's escape route.Collect and examine the map before following its lead to the cliffside camp and digging up Thief's First Note. The separate Lioncrest Watchtower route can complete Traces of Intruder while skipping the optional Torchlight Beacon and Everfrost branches.At Lioncrest Watchtower, burn the vines with Blinding Flash and use the staircase, or climb with Aerial Maneuver. These are alternative approaches; choose the route your unlocked abilities support.
