There are 12 Treasure Maps to find in God of War and all of them lead to some pretty sweet loot along the way.
You might go off the beaten path to seek out these treasures, and it’s probably best if you collect these towards the end of the game, otherwise you might run into incredibly strong enemies or areas that you can’t reach.
