With a Trace Quest in ARC Raiders – Location, Mission Guide

Keeping the Memory is a Celeste quest in ARC Raiders that can feel confusing the first time you run it. The helmet is not sitting in open view, and the quest is tagged In One Round.

This affects players who reach Wreckage, search the Baron wreck, and still cannot find the interaction. It also affects players who get knocked out before placing the helmet and realize nothing saved.

Below, you will get the exact route, the exact object to interact with, and the exact memorial pole to use. If you are looking for other Dam Battlegrounds content, it is not included here.

ARC Raiders Quest Assumptions

Keeping The Memory Quest Forks

Use these quick forks before you run across the whole map.

• If Keeping the Memory is not in your active quest list: talk to Celeste in Speranza and check your progression. The quest unlocks after Straight Record.
• If you loaded into a different map: leave and queue Dam Battlegrounds. Keeping the Memory objectives are tied to Dam Battlegrounds.
• If you can pick up the helmet but cannot place it: go to Keeping the Memory Memorial Bug.
• If you got knocked out before placing the helmet: go to Keeping the Memory One Round Reset.

Keeping The Memory Wreckage Location

Purpose: Diagnostic plus route. This gets you to the correct POI so the quest can progress.

1. Start a raid on Dam Battlegrounds with Keeping the Memory active.
2. Open your map and look for the POI named Wreckage.
3. Travel to Wreckage on the southern side of Dam Battlegrounds (often described as southeast).
4. Move down into the lowest part of the crash site near the collapsed Baron body.

Keeping The Memory Helmet Location

Purpose: Root cause fix. The helmet is hidden in an interactable plant near the Baron wreck, not on the metal itself.

1. Stand at ground level near the collapsed Baron body at Wreckage.
2. Look for a small plant close to torn metal near the wreck.
3. Walk up to the plant until you see an interaction prompt.
4. Interact with the plant to reveal the helmet.
5. Pick up the helmet if it drops onto the ground.

Keeping The Memory Memorial Pole

Purpose: Root cause fix. This is the only interaction that completes “Return the helmet to the memorial.”

1. Stay in the Wreckage area after you pick up the helmet.
2. Look for a single metal pole sticking out of the ground nearby.
3. Walk up to the pole until you see the blue holographic helmet interaction prompt.
4. Interact to place the helmet on the memorial pole.

Keeping The Memory Memorial Bug

Purpose: Symptom reducer. Some players report the memorial pole already has a helmet placed, which can block the interaction for that raid.

1. Confirm you have the helmet in-hand and you are at the correct memorial pole with the blue icon.
2. If the pole already has a helmet and no prompt appears, do not keep waiting in the open.
3. Extract if you can, or accept the knock out if you must.
4. Start a new Dam Battlegrounds raid and go to Wreckage early.

Keeping The Memory One Round Reset

Purpose: Root cause explanation. Keeping the Memory is tagged In One Round, so getting knocked out before placing the helmet means you redo the full chain.

1. Queue a new raid on Dam Battlegrounds.
2. Go straight to Wreckage instead of looting on the way.
3. Pick up the helmet from the small plant near the Baron wreck.
4. Place the helmet on the memorial pole immediately.

1. Open the ARC Raiders Quest Boost product page.
2. Select your quantity.
3. Add the service to cart.
4. Checkout using your preferred payment method.
