- This is page is for the current Memory Fragment system, for the old system see Memory Fragment (Atlas of Worlds).
Memory Fragments
Memory Fragments are part of the quest The Memory Eater.
Players acquire Shaper's Orbs by collecting Memory Fragments and giving them to Zana. Memory Fragments are found by killing the bosses of Elder-influenced maps circled in purple on the Atlas. To acquire the final five Memory Fragments, you must defeat the four Elder Guardians with the Elder occupying a red-tier map, then defeat the Elder.

- The more common memory fragment is always given first, e.g. completing a T13 map with an Elder Guardian before completing a T13 Elder-influenced map will drop fragment 8 (VIII) instead of the Guardian specific fragment.
- Memory fragments are collected in the Book of Memories at The Templar Laboratory (Epilogue). The page numbers correspond to the fragment numbers in the table above.
- Please note that the quest tracker simply displays the amount of memory fragments you've found so far, it does not tell you the (roman) memory fragment number you will find next. The fragments are numbered based on the Shaper's Orb they result in, which does not correspond to the order you find the fragments in. In particular, if you've only collected the ten fragments from Elder-influence, you have collected fragments number 1-8, 10 and 13, and the quest tracker will show 10/15.
Memory Fragment List
Memory Fragment I
"...A golden machine was found broken in the ruins of Wraeclast. Believing it to contain some dark infernal secret,
High Templar Venarius asked that I restore it and weaponize whatever powers it might contain..."
Memory Fragment II
"...Though the device seemed to be mostly functioning, something important appeared to be missing...
...I worked tirelessly in search of answers, until finally, at the base of that cruel device, I fell into a deep, deep sleep..."
Memory Fragment III
"...I awoke in the most beautiful of places, and as I wandered this strange new land, I felt a growing sense of realization that I was not alone.
A Shade, a whisper of embodied smoke, spoke to me through thoughts and pictures. I found myself enthusiastically volunteering information in detail of Oriath..."
Memory Fragment IV
"...The Shade knew of the device - a doorway between my world and the dreamlands. It offered to help me rebuild the missing part,
to create a conduit between this beautiful land and Oriath. All that the Shade asked of me was to return the favour..."
Memory Fragment V
"...Every night, I found myself asleep at the foot of the strange device, awoken to the reality of another world within my own.
The Shade taught me how to shape and build things from my imagination, how to transport such phantasmagorical treasures back into the world of man..."
Memory Fragment VI
"...The missing part of the great device had finally been formed. The Shade requested its one favour. I was shown images of the past,
the Shade as King of the dream lands, the hateful Watchers of Decay...It led me deep into a cave, to a statue pierced by a sword..."
Memory Fragment VII
"Pull the blade from my chest. Free me!" the Shade imposed. But doubt entered my mind, and the Shade flew into a fury!
I felt my mind torn asunder as images of murder and mutilation were forced upon me. I fled in a panic, cursing myself for ever trusting such a strange creature so blindly..."
Memory Fragment VIII
"...Months have now passed since the Shade revealed its true nature. Each morning, I lock myself inside my study, searching for some knowledge
that might save us. I have found at last, some information on the Watchers of Decay. The truth is so unutterable that I hesitate, even now, to write it down..."
Memory Fragment IX
"...They called it the Elder. A creature of malignant madness... it cannot be killed. The Watchers built the device to lock tight its kingdom, bringing with them the
blade - 'Starforge'. A weapon to give the Elder eternal rest. But the Shade...I must find a way to put a stop to it before it finds a path to freedom..."
Memory Fragment X
Memory Fragment X
"...I've spent every waking hour since, trying to find a way to end this unholy Elder. Within my secret study, I've begun work on a device of my own, tinkering and shaping.
When I'm finished, this Elder will never bother our world again. The creature cannot be killed, but maybe... it can be exiled..."
