The location depicted in Claudia's painting is a tower to the south, visible from her rock. The tower is located on a small island in Thorncrown Rises, in Thessaleo Fells. Players can use the Echo Challenge: Flight II teleport point to easily reach the top of the tower. Alternatively, the Command Rise teleport point – unlocked after completing the Shadow of the Towers scouting mission – can be used to access the base of the tower.

From the top, players can slide down a section of the tower to reach the marked location. If starting from the bottom, players can use the Flight utility, introduced in version 2.0, to climb the tower. Once at the marked location, stand on it to make a Standard Supply Chest appear. Open the chest to complete Treasures in the Painting and earn the achievement Lost Glory.
