Obtaining the Memory of Ancient Nature

The Memory of Ancient Nature drops from defeating one of the three Ancients tied to the Serpent Shrine questline in southwestern Delesyia. Specifically, the Ancient that rewards this key item is fought at the Fallen Abyss, a ruined location just west of Tash Kalp on the Crimson Desert map. Follow the Serpent Shrine storyline to unlock the encounter.

Fight Preparation

The Ancient at the Fallen Abyss leans heavily on fire damage, so bring heavy fire resistance through armor, consumables, or accessories before entering the arena. Ranged weapons are strongly recommended because staying at range avoids most of the boss's close-in fire patterns and lets you whittle its health down safely. Bows and throwing weapons both perform well here.

Effect in Detail

Once consumed, the Memory of Ancient Nature permanently grants Knowledge of Gatherables, which means every herb, mushroom, ore node, fruit tree, and other gatherable in the world instantly reveals its full information the first time you approach it. You no longer need to gather a resource multiple times to unlock its entry. The effect is global and cannot be lost, so it is worth grabbing as soon as you can clear the fight.

Part of the Ancient Questline

Memory of Ancient Nature is one of three permanent key items earned from the Ancients chain that starts at the Serpent Shrine in southwestern Delesyia. The other two Ancients drop the Sage's Eye and a third reward. Completing all three rewards is a major power spike for any character because every drop is a permanent account-wide buff.
