How to get memory fragments in Elden Ring Nightreign

by

In the vein of FromSoftware’s enigmatic storytelling style, Elden Ring Nightreign also incorporates a narrative – unique for each traveler, as well as one that spans the entire game – even while prioritizing multiplayer interaction. The tales largely unfold through the journal housed in Roundtable Hold, although it may not be initially clear how to advance them. However, to progress these stories, you’ll discover that collecting memory fragments is crucial.

In this game, acquiring these items opens up new entries in your character’s journal. At specific points in the journal, characters might initiate recollections. These remembrances could either present a special mission during an adventure, or a short battle with a boss for some backstory information as a reward. Here’s a guide to moving forward with these memories.

How to get memory fragments in Elden Ring Nightreign

Memory pieces are obtained at random upon completing an expedition, whether successful or not, and they are handed out at the end of each playthrough. But, as the narrative unfolds, you’ll encounter a Nightlord battle that must be won using your selected character to advance through the story. If you find yourself stuck on a Nightfarer’s journal after several unsuccessful attempts, it suggests that you need to win the battle to unlock the next chapter of their tale.

Frequently check the journal to follow your advancement since the message for obtaining this item can be easily overlooked – it appears only when you return to Roundtable Hold, not on the summary screen after completing a match.

The in-game guide for the journal is rather cryptic, suggesting that “fighting persistently will result in obtaining memory shards” and occasionally someone at the Roundtable Hold could provide assistance. Exactly what this implies isn’t clear, but I’ve managed to gather several memory shards simply by participating in expeditions early in the game. Around the fifth chapter for characters, I found myself having to defeat a Nightlord before receiving another memory shard.

From my personal gameplay, it seems that scattered recollections serve as keys to reveal fresh chapters in the ongoing narrative of the character you’re presently controlling. If you’re eager to delve deeper into a specific character’s backstory, I’d recommend taking on their role!

Elden Ring Nightreign remembrances explained

After successfully completing the Tricephalos expedition for the very first time, you will gain access to character-specific missions. At specific stages in each character’s journal, you can initiate a remembrance mission to revive the past experiences of your Nightfarer. These missions vary for each character and are essential to strengthen your bond with them, as you will receive a unique and potent relic upon completion. For instance, the Guardian’s first remembrance mission starts in chapter four of their journal entries, whereas Recluse’s begins in chapter two.

In this instance, memories transport you to the fittingly named Memory Sanctum – the main distinction being a soft white border around it. Characters may be in various spots within Roundtable Keep or you could be whisked away to a compact region for a swift task, similar to Raider’s tournament skirmishes. However, most of the time, interacting with an NPC is all that’s required.

During your journey, certain memories will provide you with a personal goal – these are specific tasks you must accomplish during the expedition. However, you should initiate the mission from within the Realm of Memories (you’ll recognize it by the white border). Keep in mind that you can only achieve one such goal per session.

Moreover, when your character memory is activated, the game will not pair you with other players who are also participating in a remembrance event unless you specifically invite them. In such situations, the host of the lobby will have priority and their objective will be active. The other players won’t be able to advance their personal objectives until the host has completed theirs.

In the Roundtable Hold, feel free to momentarily halt a character’s recollections whenever you wish by going back to your journal. However, remember that you can’t advance their tale unless you’ve successfully completed the current chapter first.
