Discovering Mementos in Dragon Age Veilguard
Collecting mementos in Dragon Age Veilguard not only unlocks important lore entries but also plays a crucial role in enhancing the Caretaker’s workshop, which you’ll use to upgrade your gear. This means that gathering these mementos is essential for strengthening Rook throughout your journey in the game. However, you will need to locate a significant number of these collectibles to satisfy the Caretaker. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to find mementos in Dragon Age Veilguard and their functionality.
How to Locate Mementos in Dragon Age Veilguard
Mementos are small, collectible items scattered throughout Dragon Age Veilguard. There are a total of 182 mementos in the game, many of which can be discovered along the main quests as well as side quests. Therefore, the most effective way to accumulate them is by completing quests and thoroughly exploring each region, paying attention to hidden spots as you go. You’ll know you’re near a memento when you see their distinctive bright swirling lights and the chalice icon indicating their presence.
Additionally, certain mementos can be purchased with gold from various merchants across Thedas. Faction merchants often sell a few, but you’ll need to achieve higher shop ranks to access them. You can find more details about upgrading shops in our guide on factions in Dragon Age Veilguard. Regular merchants also offer mementos, so keep an eye out for them; for instance, there is a merchant in the Treviso market that sells three mementos.
The Purpose of Mementos in Dragon Age Veilguard
The primary reason for collecting mementos in Dragon Age Veilguard is that each one grants 50 Caretaker Power, which is used to improve the Caretaker’s Workshop back at the Lighthouse. This enhancement directly affects your ability to upgrade gear throughout the game.
Much like how Strength impacts the various factions, amassing Caretaker Power to reach specific thresholds allows you to upgrade the workshop and boost its rank. As your workshop rank increases, so does the maximum level to which you can upgrade your gear. For example, if your Caretaker Workshop is at Rank 3, any gear you find or earn will likely have a rating of +3, and the highest level you can achieve in gear upgrades will also be +3.
Furthermore, mementos serve as lore collectibles, often tied to a faction you’ve encountered during your adventures. You can access snippets about each memento in the Codex section of the Library menu after you collect them.
Gathering mementos is essential not just for lore, but for improving your character’s capabilities in Dragon Age Veilguard. Happy hunting!
