Retaining memory is a mission ARC Raiders given to players by Celeste, requiring them to investigate the wreckage at Formicai Hills. Not every mission in the game is about combat or capturing rare loot, but it also fills players in on the game's overall lore. The quest is relatively simple, as it requires you to head to the location and find a fallen soldier's helmet, keeping Celeste's promise alive. Here's how to complete it.
Formicai Hills wreck site in ARC Raiders (Keeping the Memory)
When players start holding the Memory quest in ARC Raiders, they must reach the wreckage at Formicai Hills on the Dam Battlegrounds map. The location can be found south of the map, in an area called Wreckage (zoom in close on the map to see the location marker).
There is a spawn location nearby, making it much faster to go to the area. However, you may need to travel a bit to reach the Wreckage and complete the mission. Once you reach the area, you'll find a giant abandoned Baron Husk nestled in the forest. After arriving here, one of the objectives of the Keeping the Memory quest will be completed, and you will need to go to the next objective.
Where to find the helmet in ARC Raiders Keeping the Memory Quest
After getting close to the derelict Baron Husken, the Keeping the Memory quest objective will be updated to “Search for the Missing Helmet” in ARC Raiders. The helmet is hidden in plain sight, as you can find it in a small bush just to the right of the wreckage of Baron Husk (search the highlighted bush shown above).
Once you find the helmet, just walk a little further to the small memorial post sticking out of the ground. The bar will have a holographic image of the helmet displayed, so you can easily see the location. After you put the helmet on the pole, the Keeping the Memory quest will be marked as completed.
Now, simply extract from Dam Battlegrounds and claim 5x simple gun parts, 5x tape and 5x magnets as a reward for completing memory retention missions ARC Raiders.
