How to get mementos in Dragon Age Veilguard
Mementos are small collectible relics found just about anywhere in Dragon Age Veilguard. There are 182 of them in the game, and many can be found on the critical path during quests and side quests. That meansthe best way to collect them is to simply complete quests and explore as much of a given region as possible, checking nooks and crannies as you go. Mementos are also made more obvious thanks to theirbright spiralling lights and the telltale chalice iconthat appears above one when you’re nearby.

Additionally, some Dragon Age Veilguard mementos can bepurchased with gold from merchants around Thedas. Faction merchants usually sell a couple of them, but they’re unlocked at higher shop ranks – you can learn about upgrading shops in ourDragon Age Veilguard factionsguide. However, there are also plenty of regular merchants who sell mementos too – I found one merchant in the Treviso market who sells three!
The main reason to collect mementos in Dragon Age Veilguard is that each oneprovides 50 Caretaker Power to the Caretaker’s Workshopback in the Lighthouse, enhancing its ability toupgrade gear in Dragon Age Veilguard.
Just like how Strength works for the all the factions,gathering Caretaker Power to meet thresholds lets you upgrade the workshop and increase its rank. Doing so ups the maximum amount you can upgrade your gear and the base power of any gear you loot. For example, if your Caretaker Workshop is at Rank 3, any gear you find or are awarded will likely be rated at +3, and the maximum level you can upgrade gear to at the workshop is also +3.
As mentioned, mementos are also lore collectibles, typically related to one of the factions you’ve probably already encountered.
