Quick Links
FromSoftware’s games are known for their specific brand of storytelling. They are at times subtle, relying on item descriptions to make sense of the world around you and the original Elden Ring is no different.Elden Ring Nightreigntakes a stark turn away from much of this, instead putting the emphasis on more direct means of storytelling.
In Nightreign, you play as Nightfarers, pre-set characters with a story and playstyle all their own, and this comes with plenty of memories to remember as well. Wydler in particular is linked with other characters, and has more than a few memories that open up more areas in the Rountable Hold.
What Is The Journal?
The Journal is a big book that can be found in the Rountable Hold, andcontains the memories of each of the Nightfarers in the game. At the beginning, there will only be a single entry for each character in it, with more unlocked as you play through the game. While this can vary for each of them, they are typically unlocked one at a time, for approximately eight entries total.
The journal entries for every character can be viewed any time you are in the Roundtable Hold,regardless of who you are playing as. Just make sure you complete Remembrances as they appear, as you cannot get new journal entries until it is completed first.
How To Unlock Memory Fragments
Memory Fragments are what are used to unlock new journal entries and Remembrances. The game makes it sound like they are an item you must find and pick up, but rather they are automatically given to you as soon as you meet the requirements for them. That said, they never appear in your inventory. Rather,they just unlock the next journal entry or Remembrance you need for the character you are playing as.
So how do you unlock them? Well, it depends. Some characters have their own methods, thoughthese are random and never explicitly explained. The only surefire method of gaining new Memory Fragments is by completing Expeditions and beating the Nightlord at the very end. In general, later Remembrances require further progress.
For example,you can unlock the very first Remembrance by just making it to the boss at the end of the first night, regardless of if you beat them or not. The second Remembrance may not unlock until you reach the Nightlord, while the third and final Remembrance will likely not unlock until you have beaten a Nightlord with the character in question.
In rare circumstances, such as with Raider,beating a Nightlord might not unlock the next Remembrance, but the next Journal entry instead. Unfortunately, it does seem as though you’re able to only ever find one Memory Fragment per match, regardless of how well you do.
Wylder’s Remembrances
As is the case with all other Nightfarers,Wylder has three Remembrances for you to unlockand relive. However, they are quite involved, spreading you across both Limveld and the Roundtable Hold, and at times even unlocking new locations in the latter. You can begin them from the latest entry in his Journal once it is available.
Completing Remembrances is worth it for the personal backstories of the characters alone, thoughthey come with powerful gameplay benefits as well,making them all the more worth it. Here are all three of Wylders, and how to complete them.
Remembrance #1
Wylder’s first Remembrance is quite long, andhas you trekking out to Limveld. Here are each of the objectives, and some tips on how to achieve them:
As Duchess is involved in this Remembrance,she must be unlocked as a playable characterbefore it will become available.
You are put into Realm of Remembrance during a Remembrance, and youmust remain inside it to complete your objective in Limveld. Thankfully, it will be marked on the map in red to help you find it, and can be found at the end of any cave system. Keep in mind it will be protected by a Crystalian enemy, and they must be defeated before you can pick up the Whetstone. Just remember to stance break them to trivialise the encounter.
Beyond this, the remaining objectives are simple.Just follow the markers on the minimap, and you will be given a unique Relic, theSlate Whetstone, that gives Wylder a new follow-up attack to his Claw Shot when using a Greatsword.
Only one Remembrance can be active during a match, so it is best to attempt to complete these objectives solo. You are free to be defeated once you have completed the objective.
Remembrance #2
In Wylder’s second Remembrance,you have to thoroughly explore the Roundtable Hold, though you graciously do not need to go to Limveld at all this time. Here are the objectives and where to find them:
This will complete this Remembrance, andunlock a new Relic Rite for Wylder.
Remembrance #3
Wylder’s final Remembrance has you returning to Limveld, this time with a very specific Shifting Earth Event in place.It has you defeat another enemy guarding an item, though the circumstances are much more complicated this time around. Here are all of the objectives, and how to achieve them:
The beginning few steps are simple enough, especially since they are marked on the map. It’s finding the Silver Tear that is much more difficult. While it is marked on the map,it is guarded by a Spirit Trollin the very corner of the Eternal City. Where the circle almost immediately encompasses when it starts to close.
Because of this,it is best to challenge the Eternal City at the very beginning of the second day, when you have more time, and have already gained a few levels from the first day. When running to the area with the Silver Tear however, be very careful with how you approach. A Black Knife Assassin lingers around this area, and will happily invite themself into the battle if they see you.
When battling the troll, take frequent advantage of Wylder’s Ultimate Art.This deals incredible stagger damage, which is exactly what you need to cut down this enemy quickly. Once they’re defeated, pick up the Silver Tear and head on your merry way. You are free to be defeated at any pount after this.
Even if the Black Knife Assassin enters the battle,they do not need to be defeatedto pick up the Silver Tear, just the troll.
Return to the Iron Menial with the now with the Silver Tear, which will conclude this Remembrance.This will unlock the Silver Tear Relic for Wylder, as well as his Remembrance outfit. When defeating the final boss with Wylder after completing all three Remembrances, youwill get an extended endingunique to him.
