All 9 Mementos in Silksong

What Are Mementos?

Mementos are decorative collectibles you can display in your Bellhome to make it feel less empty and more like an actual home. Think of them like trophies or souvenirs from your journey through Pharloom. There are 9 different Mementos scattered throughout the game, but here's the catch—you can only collect 8 of them because two are mutually exclusive choices.

Each Memento is tied to a specific boss fight, quest, or challenge. You can't just stumble upon these—you'll need to actively seek them out, and most won't even be available until Act 3 when you've unlocked the necessary movement abilities and progression requirements.

#1: Surface Memento

This one's basically Silksong's answer to Path of Pain, though it's not nearly as brutal. You'll need to complete a challenging platforming section to reach the surface, then play Needolin in the right spot.

How to Get It

1. Return to the Cradle: Head back to where you fought the Grand Mother of Silk in Act 2. At the very top of that chamber, there's a hidden entrance that's easy to miss.
2. Enter the Hidden Cave: Look for an opening at the top of the chamber. This leads to the platforming gauntlet.
3. Complete the Platforming: Yeah, this part sucks. You'll need to navigate through a series of precise jumps and obstacles. Use Silk Soar and all your movement tech. Take your time—there are safe spots along the way.
4. Reach Nameless Town: Once you make it to the surface (congrats!), head east through the area until you reach Nameless Town.
5. Find the Ruined House: At the far eastern end of Nameless Town, you'll see the remains of an old structure.
6. Play Needolin: Stand near the corpse inside the ruins and play Needolin. Keep playing for a bit—you'll see lyrics appear. Stop playing and wait a moment.
7. Collect the Memento: The Surface Memento will literally drop from the ceiling. Pick it up!

#2: Craw Memento

The Craw Memento requires you to defeat the Court of Craws and the Crawfather. First though, you need to get the Craw Summons, which is kinda random.

Step 1: Get the Craw Summons

This part's a bit weird. You need to rest at benches in Act 3 around the Greymoor/Shellwood area. Eventually, when you sit down, a Pin will descend from above with the Craw Summons attached. It's random, so you might need to try a few different benches.

The bench in the center of Shellwood (the large rectangular chamber on the eastern side) seems to work well. Just keep resting and checking until it appears.

Step 2: Enter the Craw Structure

1. Head to the Craw structure at the eastern edge of Greymoor (near Verdania entrance).
2. Enter through the door on the lowest level.
3. Go to the southeast corner inside.
4. You'll find a locked door that accepts the Craw Summons. Use it.

Step 3: Defeat the Court of Craws

Drop down into the combat arena. You'll fight waves of Craw enemies before facing the Crawfather as the final boss. Beat them all to receive the Craw Memento as your reward. The fight's not too bad if you've made it to Act 3—just stay aggressive and watch for openings.

#3: Grey Memento

The Grey Memento is dropped by the Watcher at the Edge, a secret boss hidden in Sands of Karak. You'll need Silk Soar to reach them, and Needolin to trigger the fight.

Finding the Hidden Path

1. Go to Western Sands: Head to the southwestern passage in Sands of Karak, just before the path back down to Blasted Steps and the Pintress' home.
2. Look for the Hidden Passage: The entrance is just left of the "S" in "Sands of Karak" on your map. Super easy to miss.
3. Use Hidden Seeds: There are hidden seeds on the wall and ceiling here. Hit the seed on the ceiling to create a branch path upward.
4. Silk Soar Up: Follow the branch to what looks like a dead end. Use Silk Soar to reach the hidden ledge above.
5. Head West: Follow the hidden path all the way to its western end.

Fighting the Watcher

When you reach the Watcher at the Edge, they'll look like just another sand-covered fossil. Play Needolin near them—keep playing for a bit. Eventually they'll wake up and the boss fight begins. Defeat them and they'll crumble into pieces, dropping the Grey Memento for you to collect.

#4: Conjoined Heart

The Conjoined Heart is the reward from completing the Green Prince questline in Verdania. This is one of two heart-based Mementos, and you need to choose which path you want to take. Most players go for the Conjoined Heart because it's more straightforward.

Understanding the Heart System

In Act 3, the Snail Shamans give you the "Old Hearts" quest to collect three hearts. There are actually four collectible hearts in the game:

• Heart of Might: Found in Coral Tower (quest heart)
• Heart of the Woods: Located in wooded areas (quest heart)
• Heart of the Wild: In Far Fields (quest heart)
• Conjoined Heart: From Green Prince questline (optional 4th heart)

How to Get the Conjoined Heart

1. Reach Verdania: This area becomes accessible in Act 3.
2. Find the Green Prince's Home: Head to the location shown on the map. Enter through the door above, go right, climb up, then head left.
3. Interact with the Green Prince: Talk to them to trigger the Clover Dancers boss fight.
4. Defeat the Clover Dancers: Win this boss fight and you'll be transported back.
5. Collect the Conjoined Heart: The Conjoined Heart will be lying there beside the Green Prince's body. Pick it up to get the "Lamenter" achievement.

Keeping It as a Memento

To keep the Conjoined Heart as your Memento, simply collect the three main quest hearts (Might, Woods, Wild) and turn those in to the Snail Shamans. Don't use the Conjoined Heart for the "Dark Hearts" wish. The Conjoined Heart will remain in your inventory as a Memento you can display in your Bellhome.

#5: Hero's Memento

This one's pretty straightforward—complete the "Hero's Call" wish in Act 3 by defeating Lost Garmond. Simple as that.

Unlocking Hero's Call

You'll need to meet Garmond and Zaza a few times throughout your playthrough. The easiest first encounter is in Greymoor—you'll find them in a small chamber along the eastern wall of the main structure. Just talk to them.

Later in Act 3, you'll encounter them again in Far Fields (often near Weavenest Cindril or the western entrance). After these encounters, the "Hero's Call" wish should appear on the Bellhart Wishboard. Some players report needing to complete the "Old Hearts" quest and get the Everbloom first, so if it's not showing up, progress the main story a bit more.

Defeating Lost Garmond

Once "Hero's Call" is active, head to the Blasted Steps Bellway. Zaza will be there trying to get your attention. Follow them to find Garmond, who's been taken over by the Void. It's honestly pretty sad, but you gotta fight them. Win the fight to receive the Hero's Memento and unlock the "Hero's Call" achievement.

#6: Hunter's Memento

Not gonna lie—this is the most tedious Memento to get. You need to complete all 234 basic entries in the Hunter's Journal by killing every enemy type in the game enough times. Yeah, it's a grind.

Getting the Hunter's Journal

First, you need to get the Hunter's Journal itself. Head to the Halfway Home in Greymoor and find Nuu in the small chamber directly above Criege. Talk to them to start the "Bugs of Pharloom" quest, which gives you the Hunter's Journal. The initial quest only asks for 100 bug entries, but you'll need all 234 for the Memento.

Tracking Your Progress

Want to know exactly how close you are? Get the Farsight item from Weavenest Absalom in the Abyss and install it in your Bellhome. This reveals completion stats including your Hunter's Journal progress. Super helpful for tracking what you're missing.

Completion Tips

• Work on this naturally as you play—don't wait until the end to grind it all out
• Revisit early areas to farm common enemies you might've missed
• Boss entries count too, so make sure you've fought everyone
• Some enemies only appear in specific acts or locations, so explore thoroughly
• Check your journal regularly to see what you're missing

#7: Sprintmaster Memento

Love racing? You'll need to beat Sprintmaster Swift in their final race after completing the "Fastest in Pharloom" wish. It's actually pretty fun compared to most Memento hunts.

Finding Sprintmaster Swift

In Act 3, head to the far eastern side of Far Fields. Sprintmaster Swift hangs out there waiting for challengers. Talk to them to start the "Fastest in Pharloom" wish, which requires you to win three laps in a race.

Racing Tips

• Learn the race route before going all-out—take a practice lap
• Use your movement abilities efficiently (don't spam, be precise)
• Swift has a set speed, so you just need to avoid mistakes
• Hitting walls or missing platforms will cost you the race
• The final lap is the most important—save your best performance for last

Win all three laps and Swift will hand over the Sprintmaster Memento. Honestly one of the more satisfying Mementos to earn since it actually tests your movement skills.

#8: Guardian's Memento (Seth)

This one's unique—you need to beat Shrine Guardian Seth's high scores in all three Festival of the Flea minigames. First though, you'll need to actually defeat Seth as a boss, then track him down through several locations.

Seth's Journey

After you defeat Seth in the boss fight, he'll move around Pharloom before finally settling in Fleatopia. You'll encounter him in these locations in order:

1. Greymoor: Where Shakra first sold the Greymoor Map
2. Shellwood: In one of the chambers there
3. Fleatopia: His final location in the northeastern Putrefied Ducts

The Minigame Challenge

Once Seth's in Fleatopia, check the high score board near Vog. You need to beat these scores:

• Flea Juggle: 55+ (use Shaman's Crest)
• Flea Dodge: 95+ (use Wanderer Crest)
• Flea Bounce: 68+ (use Wanderer Crest)

You can't use Tools or Silk Skills in the minigames—only your basic movement and attacks. Crest choice matters a lot here. For Dodge and Bounce, nail bouncing (pogo attacks) is crucial. Juggle is more about timing and positioning.

Beat all three high scores, then talk to Seth again to receive the Guardian's Memento. This is probably the second-hardest Memento after Hunter's, just because the minigames can be frustrating.
