What are Mementos?

Mementos are decorative collectibles that you can find in Act 3 of the game. They are typically obtained by defeating bosses or rewarded for completing quests. There are a total of 9 Mementos in the game, with only 8 being obtainable in a single playthrough. This is because 2 Mementos are tied to a choice, effectively setting up a scenario where you can only get 1. Mementos are essentially in-game trophies, and don’t unlock new abilities, progress the game, or change the ending. If you want to collect them, but don’t have the game, you can get Hollow Knight: Silksong from LootBar!

Why collect Mementos?
