What Are Memories For in Hytale?
While the Exploration game mode in Hytale remains a true sandbox experience, there is one goal there that players are encouraged to complete, and that is to catch a glimpse of every single NPC type in the game. Every time you see something new, whether it’s a different kind of bird or an eldritch horror from the void, it’ll get recorded as a Memory, which can bring tangible benefits to you as part of the game’s broader Memories system.
While engaging with the Memories system isn’t something that’s absolutely mandatory, Hytale players will still want to get out there and look for all the different creatures the world has to offer. Doing so will unlock a bunch of different rewards, and if this is something you’re interested in, here’s a guide covering exactly how the Memories system works.
How to Get Cindercloth Scraps in Hytale
This guide will help players find Cindercloth Scraps, a material in Hytale that plays an important role in the crafting of weapons and armor.
What are Memories in Hytale?
Think of Memories as monster logs. Every time you see a creature, you’ll get a Memory of it. You can find all of your stored Memories by opening your inventory and clicking on the diamond right below the crafting icon next to your character’s 3D model. They won’t do anything by themselves, and if you want to potentially claim rewards for collecting Memories, you’ll have to go to the Forgotten Temple.
The Forgotten Temple is an area somewhere in Orbis that contains a number of different NPCs. You can get to this place by looking for cross-shaped temples on the map (which are also marked by a swirling portal icon). Enter those temples, then go down to the basement to find a blue portal leading to the Forgotten Temple itself.
Once you enter the portal and reach the other side, you’ll be greeted by a large NPC settlement, and if you follow the path down the middle, you’ll find an altar of sorts. This acts as a bestiary where you can view all the creatures you’ve found during your adventures.
Interact with the altar, and you’ll get the option to record any Memories you’ve obtained. Recording a Memory transfers it from you to the altar. By transferring your Memories to the altar, you’ll eventually reach milestones that give you the following rewards:
|
Milestone |

100 Memories |
Ancient Gateway Portal Fragments Backpack Upgrade 2 3 Decorative Chests 2 Eternal Seeds +2 Max Teleporters |
|
200 Memories |

Hytale is still in early access as of writing this guide, and most of these milestones rewards are still works in progress. Expect to find more rewards later on when the game is updated.
Decorative rewards aside, players will want to record their Memories at the altar for the sake of getting Eternal Seesd, which are basically reusable seeds for farming crops. Increasing maximum Teleporter limits is also a great way to cover a lot of ground, which should make gathering materials in Hytale much faster and easier.
