In the game ARC Raiders, players embark on a mission titled «Keeping the Memory,» guided by the character Celeste. This quest takes players to the wreckage site located at Formicai Hills, where they will unravel a piece of the game’s lore while pursuing an important objective. Unlike some quests that focus solely on combat or loot gathering, this mission emphasizes storytelling, requiring players to locate the helmet of a fallen soldier, fulfilling a promise made by Celeste.
To initiate the quest, players must navigate to Formicai Hills, situated in the southern part of the Dam Battlegrounds map. The specific area, marked as Wreckage, can be located by zooming in on the map to reveal the objective marker. A nearby spawn point can streamline the journey, but players may still need to traverse some distance to reach the Wreckage and move forward with their mission. Upon arrival, they will encounter a massive Derelict Baron Husk, marking the completion of the initial key objective in the quest.
Once players are near the Baron Husk, they will receive an updated task: «Search for the Missing Helmet.» The helmet, crucial for quest progression, is relatively easy to find–it is cleverly hidden in a bush to the right of the Baron Husk wreckage. Players should carefully search the specified area to locate it successfully.
After retrieving the helmet, the next step involves walking a short distance to a memorial pole embedded in the ground. This pole, which features a holographic image of the helmet, will be the final destination for completing the quest. Once players place the helmet atop the pole, «Keeping the Memory» will be marked as finished, allowing them to extract from the Dam Battlegrounds. Completing this quest rewards players with five Simple Gun Parts, five Duct Tapes, and five Magnets.
However, some players have encountered issues that prevent them from completing this quest. Reasons may include the helmet being absent from the indicated location or another helmet already placed at the memorial pole. These glitches are not intended and are likely quest bugs that developers are expected to address in future updates. For players facing these issues, it’s advisable to enter a match with a blank loadout and aim to spawn near Formicai Hills. If they don’t, surrendering and trying again may help them land close to the quest area.
As players engage with the quest mechanics, it’s important to keep track of the game timer; if the match has surpassed 20 minutes, chances are that others may have already completed the quest. By following these guidelines, players can navigate through «Keeping the Memory» more effectively and enjoy the rich narrative the game offers.
