As an avid explorer of Elden Ring Nightreign, I've discovered that uncovering the backstories of Nightfarers through Remembrance Quests isn't just lore enrichment – it's a tactical goldmine. Completing these journal missions rewards you with character-specific relics that dramatically enhance your Nightfarer's abilities in expeditions. While some players might overlook these narratives, the tangible gameplay advantages, especially for Wylder mains, make these quests essential pursuits. What's remarkable is how these missions weave seamlessly into existing expeditions, requiring only slight detours from standard routes while offering substantial power boosts that can turn the tide against Nightlords. The Wylder's questline particularly exemplifies this perfect blend of storytelling and strategic advancement across four distinct chapters.

🔍 Chapter 3: The First Outing

Your journey begins at the Roundtable Hold where you'll find the Iron Menial near the Journal. After exhausting his dialogue, he tasks you with retrieving a whetstone from Limveld's mines. Crucially, you must activate Remembrance mode before embarking! The mine entrance appears on your map with a distinctive red marker – don't overlook it.

Inside the mines, navigate to the large wooden platform area where a Crystalian guards your prize below. Pro tip: Blunt weapons or stance-breaking tactics make this early-game encounter manageable. Once secured, return the Slate Whetstone to unlock Wylder's new relic – a game-changer that adds follow-up attacks after Clawshot abilities, exclusively when wielding Greatswords. Remember: Expedition completion isn't mandatory! Simply acquiring the item (then winning OR dying) progresses the quest.

🗺️ Chapter 5: The Scavenger Hunt

Unlike other chapters, this investigation unfolds entirely within the Roundtable Hold – no expedition required! After collecting sufficient memory fragments (earned through Nightlord encounters), head to the Visual Codex room. Activate three glowing spots atop scattered books to unlock a hidden crypt entrance.

Downstairs, examine tomb inscriptions and speak with the Iron Menial to learn about the Duchess's captivity. Find her on the beachfront below the Hold and select "Are you trapped here?" to complete this surprisingly compact chapter. The reward? Deeper insight into Wylder's connections and preparation for the coming challenges.

⚔️ Chapter 7: Raid on Noklateo

Here's where complexity spikes. You'll need two prerequisites: defeat four Nightlords (ideally as Wylder) and activate the Shifting Earth: Noklateo event. Start by collecting a letter from your quarters, then unlock the crypt chest revealed in Chapter 5 to obtain a Torn Paper Scrap. Consult the Recluse and Iron Menial to pinpoint Noklateo's location.

During your expedition's second day (when properly leveled), navigate to the waterfall district past a Black Knife Assassin. Dispatch the Mimic Troll near the coffins using Wylder's Stake Ultimate to claim the Silver Tear relic – a magnificent tool that boosts Ultimate Art Gauge regeneration and grants +3 Arcane. Optional but rewarding: defeating The Natural Born of the Void here grants the Favor of Noklateo (free revive + power surge).

💫 Chapter 9: The Final Confrontation

Before facing the Night Aspect Heolstor, ensure the Silver Tear relic is equipped! Failure here voids your Remembrance completion. Build your loadout around Holy Damage – Heolstor's critical weakness. Upon victory, you'll teleport to a desert arena where interacting with Wylder triggers the climactic cutscene.

First-time conquerors receive the Night of the Lord relic, Sacred Erdtree Grail, cosmetic outfits, and the crown jewel: Wylder's Earring. This endgame relic restores stamina per successful hit and engulfs areas in fire during Ultimate abilities – an indispensable tool for dedicated Wylder players. My Artorias-style skin now feels complete!

❓ People Also Ask

  • Do I need to complete expeditions to progress Remembrances?

Surprisingly no! Chapter 3 proves you can die after obtaining quest items and still progress – just don't quit mid-expedition.

  • How do memory fragments drop?

Primarily from first-time Nightlord encounters (defeat OR reaching them), though Field Bosses and Raids also yield fragments.

  • Can I farm one character's fragments consecutively?

Impossible – you must complete each chapter before earning new fragments, so clear journals promptly!

  • Why prioritize Remembrances over loot runs?

Character-specific relics like Silver Tear (+3 Arcane) and Wylder's Earring (stamina recovery) fundamentally reshape playstyles beyond generic gear.

Completing Wylder's saga exemplifies why Remembrance Quests transcend optional lore dives. What begins as backstory exploration culminates in relics that redefine combat flow, proving these narrative threads are as crucial to survival as any legendary weapon. Through four chapters of crypt explorations, city raids, and apocalyptic battles, I've not only uncovered Wylder's past but forged his ultimate warrior potential – a journey every Nightfarer deserves to experience.
