Lost in Madness presents a unique treasure hunt opportunity in Once Human. Finding the map is one thing, but finding the Cultist’s Treasure comes with its own challenges.
While the Lost in Madness quest is listed as a level seven quest, this is very deceiving as it’s hardly one that a low-level Once Human player can complete. And if you’re playing during the Steam Next Fest demo, you can’t complete it at all.
How to start the Lost in Madness quest
To start the Lost in Madness quest, you’ll need to pick up the Cultist Treasure map. The Cultist Treasure map is located inside the BN Store, at the Coastside Plaza settlement in Dayton Wetlands, the starting area of Once Human.
Travel to Coastside Plaza, then look for the store on the east side of the main road that says BN Store. Inside, you’ll need to first defeat and destroy an enemy spawner. Once that’s complete, go to the ominous-looking ritual circle in the corner and interact with the red candle. After a brief trippy visual happens, a Cultist’s Treasure crate will appear next to you, with the Cultist Treasure map inside.
How to find the Cultist Treasure
Once you have the Cultist Treasure map, you can deduce for yourself where the Cultist’s Treasure is located. Or, since you’re here, we can just tell you where it is.
The Cultist’s Treasure is located in Chalk Peak, the territory to your west, at the Believers Colony settlement that’s to the west of the Tall Grass Inn marker on your map. But there’s a major issue that will delay your quest for the treasure: Chalk Peak is a level 32+ area surrounded by a barrier that instantly kills players and that region of the map is currently locked as of the Steam Next Fest demo.
Once the full game opens up, you’ll be able to complete the task that players like myself were able to do during the closed beta tests. At Believers Colony, you’ll need to clear out the cultists and interact with four Lucky Cat statues. By offering each Lucky Cat a gift, you’ll receive a treasure fragment key, and combining all four will allow you to open the Cultist’s Treasure crate at the colony, completing the task.
