Next, Zoom to the Isle of the Monarch of Medals and board your ship. Sail south until you reach the Living Memory's location on your map, then dive beneath the waves to collect it from the seabed.

Ghost Ship

Living Memory 3

The Ghost Ship moves around constantly, so its location may diffe, but it will always appear on your map. Board the ship and make your way to the bow. Be ready for a fight with Octavian, the boss guarding this Living Memory.

Octavian is a powerful foe best tackled during the post-game, so make sure your party is well-prepared before taking him on.

List of All Bosses

Ocean Floor: Northwest of Rubiss Shrine

Zoom to the Mermaid Sanctuary and board your ship. Sail southeast into the depths where the Living Memory is located.

You’ll need the repaired Lorelei’s Harp to access the deeper ocean area where this one rests.

Northern Sea Lord's Lair

To unlock this area, free the prisoner in Dirkandor by using the Ultimate Key on the locked building. He’ll reveal the locations of the two Lords of the Deep.

The sixth Living Memory is in the Northern Sea Lord’s Lair. Fast travel to the Faerie Palace, head outside, and sail southeast to reach the lair. You’ll face Helliphantes here, defeat it to obtain the Living Memory. Helliphantes is extremely strong and is best challenged during the post-game.

How to Get the Ultimate Key

Southern Sea Lord's Lair

The final Living Memory is in the Southern Sea Lord’s Lair. Fast travel to the Shrine of Flames, sail east, and enter the lair. Prepare for a battle with Abysmeralda before claiming the last Living Memory. Abysmeralda hits very hard and is recommended to fight in the post-game.

How to Start Collecting Living Memories

Living Memory Info

She’ll explain the 7 Living Memories, and their locations will then appear on your map after a short cutscene.

Rewards for Collecting All 7 Living Memories

Multiheal Scroll

Multiheal Scroll

You’ll receive the Multiheal Scroll as a reward for collecting all 7 Living Memories. This scroll teaches Multiheal, a powerful healing spell that restores a large amount of HP to all party members.

Passage to Cave of Confusion

After collecting all 7 Living Memories, the passage to the Cave of Confusion will unlock in the post-game. Enter through the well in the Cave of the Dwarves, located south of Rimuldar.

This is an extremely difficult dungeon where you cannot teleport out, so only attempt it once your party’s levels are around the high 80s to low 90s.
