Freki Hidden Troves Guide
Bring Freki from the Norgandian Settlement when you want help finding hidden troves, and carry the prime cut of meat required to motivate her. Use her on a short prepared route that checks caves and abandoned homes, then return to appraise any relics instead of staying out through worsening weather.

Prepare Freki’s search run
Section titled “Prepare Freki’s search run”- Visit the Norgandian Settlement and confirm Freki is available for the route.
- Carry the required prime cut of meat. Official narration establishes the requirement but does not publish a complete sourcing table.
- Equip Thermal protection or bring Heat Stones before leaving the hub.
- Pick a compact route with caves, abandoned homes or terrain features that could conceal a trove.
Search beyond monster drops
Section titled “Search beyond monster drops”The official relic overview states that Norgan’s beasts often possess relics, but fighting is not the only path. Homes and caves can reward exploration, and Freki’s sense of smell can guide the party to hidden spoils. That makes her most valuable on a deliberate search route rather than a straight boss run.
When Freki signals or changes the route, clear immediate danger before committing to a detour. A hidden find is not worth losing the return path during a whiteout. The cold survival guide explains why minimap and world-map reliability can degrade.
Finish the route
Section titled “Finish the route”Carry recovered relics to the settlement and appraise them. Follow the relic expedition guide to compare their power, skill effects and Thermal property before the next trip.
Not confirmed: a complete list of Freki-compatible meat items, consumption rules, signal behavior, hidden-trove coordinates and whether every trove can contain a relic.
