Take note that you'll also need the Visione helmet unlocked. This allows you to see memories and is unlocked after liberating the Lioncrest Watchtower in Hernand.

Once you have arrived at the correct location, look for a sandpit with a large, circular platform at its center. Make your way to the platform by hopping on the rocks to cross the sand. The sandpit is actually quicksand, and it's impossible to run on it without being pulled under.

Once on the platform, whip out your lantern and look for a memory fragment. With your Visione equipped, you should be able to view the memory. The memory will reveal that in the past, people stashed treasures near the area.

After the memory concludes, use your lantern to find two small glowing spots. If you find them, Kliff will use his hands to dig out the treasure. One of the spots will be a Modest Silver Pouch. Another spot will be the Alabaster Curved Sword, which you can then obtain.
