i can't figure out where talriks treasure is(unless the stuff next to the cart was it), and i'm trying to become a samurai but i can't find the samurai baton. where are these samurai burial grounds?

The graveyard is in the woods east of shurugeon castle, just far enough away that you can't see it from next to the moat.

Have you got the map from him. It think it reads something like West as far as you can go to an isle with the cart, then east so many paces. From other conversations about Collasiem and the treasure being lost, I figure it is near the opening bracket around the words (Uncharted Waters) on the map you get with the game.
