Mementos in Dragon Age: The Veilguard are lore items that give you caretaker points, which are needed to level your workshop, thus improving your crafting. In general, Mementos are either purchased from merchants or found hidden within the map. Read on to find out where you can find every Memento in the Arlathan Forest Region.

Hazards, Tomorrow Memento¶

You won’t be able to get this straight away, as the entrance to the area is located behind a blue barrier. However, once you accept the Spirits of the Dalish quest from the spirit on the boat, the way will open up. Make your way to Ruins Reach, which you’ll go to early on in the story, when you first come to Arlathan Forest, and accept the aforementioned quest above (spirit on the boat) as this allows you to open the blue barrier to the north.

Go through the barrier into the next area and head west until you reach the Fast Travel Beacon. From here, take the right set of stairs to the top, and follow the broken pathway north. At the end of the path, you’ll enter a building, the Nameless Building to be specific. Here, you’ll find another Fast Travel Beacon to your right, and the Memento will be on the table to the left of it.

The Cost of Harmony Memento¶

If you still have the Spirits of the Dalish Quest active, this will take you into the Shadow Grove, if not, teleport to the Nameless Building Fast Travel, where you found the last Memento, and head into the next part of the building to the north. Here, you’ll find a ladder to your right, take it down to reach the Shadowy Grove.

Go down the ladder and head east until you reach the large boulder, and then go south into the open area. Go to the other side of the area to find a large wall in the east. The Memento will be leaning in the center of the wall, at its base.

The Hand Right Memento¶

This Memento is found in the Jagged Ruins area of Arlathan Forest. If you haven’t been there before, The Magic of Ancients side quest will take you there. You can find Jagged Ruins in the northwest of Arlathan Forest by going over the Tattered Bridge. For The Magic of Ancients side quest, you’ll need to realign the beams and disable the relics.

Make your way up the curved stairs in the northeast and take the Zipline over to find the beam-emitting device. Rotate the device to the west and hover it over the crystal on the floating platform. This will create a bridge to the Mystical Tower. Hop across the platforms into the tower to find the Memento among other goodies.

Promise of Glory Memento¶

Another Memento found in the Jagged Ruins, on a floating platform containing a chest. You’ll need to play around with the “beam” puzzle to navigate your way over there. The Memento will be on a table next to the chest. This platform is to the left of the Mystical Tower.

Hazards, Persistent Memento¶

Waterfront Glades is where you’ll find the next two Mementos. You can find this area in the far east of Arlathan Forest, accessed during Davrin’s companion quest, How to Train a Griffon. When you enter the Waterfront Glades from the Forest Mire, you’ll be near a waterfall with a path that goes behind it.

At the start of the path, there is a wall that can be destroyed by triggering the disturbance to explode. The Memento will be behind that wall. The disturbance will only appear during The Plight of the Veil Jumpers side quest.

Beyond the Veil Memento¶

If you’ve done Davrin’s How to Train a Griffon quest, odds are, you have this Memento as you’ll find it in the small cave at the end of the quest where you’ll have a chest. The Memento is to the left of the statue within the same cave. If you missed it, the cave is at the top of the Waterfront Glades in the north.

Field Notes of Last Days Memento¶

The final Memento in Arlathan Forest can be found in the Ancient Aqueduct area in the center of Arlathan Forest. You will have to be on, or complete Davrin’s How to Train a Griffon companion quest to get access to the area. You’ll find the Memento against the wall in the ruins facing the Forest Mire Unique Chest. If you walk out of the ruins, you’ll be in Forest Mire.
