You cannot directly recover or return Dijkstra’s treasure in the game, but you can learn its location from Menge if you allow Triss to be tortured and ask about the treasure before inquiring about Dandelion. This approach earns you additional Crowns, but Djikstra will not provide assistance during the battle at Kaer Morhen regardless of your actions.
