Follow this walkthrough for The Outer Worlds' Little Memento side quest. Find Ash's keepsake box, defeat marauders, and uncover secrets in Amber Heights and beyond.

Alright, let's tackle the 'Little Memento' side quest in The Outer Worlds. It's a pretty straightforward retrieval mission with a little mystery thrown in.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Starting the Quest: Head to the bar at the northern end of Amber Heights. You're looking for a mercenary named Ash. Chat him up, and if you ask about his 'heartbreak,' he'll task you with finding an old keepsake box.
  2. 2
    Heading to the Abandoned Safehouse: Ash will give you the Hunter Outpost Keycard. The safehouse is a trek southwest of Amber Heights. You can travel past Fallbrook, then head towards the Forlorn Crossroads. From there, make your way directly southwest. If you prefer a slightly longer but potentially easier route, follow the road south and then west.
  3. 3
    Clearing the Area: When you reach the Abandoned Safehouse, you'll find it crawling with about half a dozen marauders, plus a bot. Take them all out. Once the coast is clear, use the Hunter Outpost Keycard Ash gave you to unlock the safehouse door.
  4. 4
    Inside the Safehouse: Loot everything you can inside. Then, grab the datapad and read it. You'll notice Ash isn't mentioned in the logs, which is a bit of a clue. Next, interact with the terminal. Read the entry _[FROM: Lamont]_. This will give you a new location and hint that the person using the terminal was planning to leave Monarch.
  5. 5
    Crossing the River: The next objective is south and slightly west of the safehouse. You'll need to cross a river. Be careful here – the cliffs nearby aren't a safe descent, and the gentler slope to the southeast doesn't lead to a good way across. Your best bet is to backtrack to the Forlorn Crossroads and then head south and slightly east. This path should lead you to a shallower part of the river with easier banks to get up on the other side. Keep an eye out for mantids, as they tend to hang around this area.
Tips
  • Make sure you have the Hunter Outpost Keycard from Ash before you head to the safehouse.
  • The marauders can be a bit tough, so be prepared for a fight.
  • Pay attention to the datapad and terminal entries; they add a bit of flavor to the quest.
  • Watch out for those mantids near the river crossing!
