Golden Light - Memento Guide

a full guide about memento in the Golden Light
(the information was taken from the website "fandom.com" )

Introduction

Mementos are Polaroid pictures found in Gut that give you various positive and negative abilities and effects.

Whenever you pick up a memento, you are given one or two effects to choose from.

You can find mementos for free scattered around the Eternal Field, but more can be bought from Son.

There are times where a memento will appear with the description "You can not remember this..." This memento can not be selected and the player must choose the one available option.

Mementos are lost on death or with the use of a Lobotomizer. Mementos can be kept after death by using a Golden Amber.
