[ARC Raiders]Complete guide to inherited memories | Helmet location detailed map explanation, monument installation procedure, reward usage, Celeste quest chain complete story[Ark Raiders Dam Battlefield]
ARC Raiders is a cooperative PvPvE survival shooter developed by Embark Studios and will be officially released in 2025, attracting many players. In this game, the basic mission is to survive on a devastated Earth by stealing resources from machine lifeforms called ARCs and strengthening a base called Speranza. In particular, quests (tasks) are an important element that allows you to advance the story and obtain valuable materials and blueprints through requests from traders.
Among them, Celeste's quest “Inherited Memories” is relatively simple, but it involves exploring the southeastern part of the Dam Battlefield map, and is recommended for beginners. This quest requires very little combat and can be completed in less than one round, making it perfect for when you want to earn rewards quickly.
In this article, we'll cover everything from the exact location of the helmet, how to place it on the monument, how to utilize the rewards, and even the entire Celeste quest chain. We have also added detailed route guidance and troubleshooting, so you can definitely clear the challenge.
Quest overview and importance
“Inherited Memories'' is a simple transport quest requested by Celeste to find a helmet lying in the ruins of the Formicai Mountains and place it on a nearby monument. In the story, it is symbolic of inheriting the memories of past warriors, and provides an opportunity to deeply understand Celeste's backstory. As a clear reward, you will receive 5 simple gun parts, 5 duct tape, and 5 magnets, which are essential materials for customizing and crafting weapons.
The appeal of this quest is that you can explore areas with few enemies on the vast map of Dam Battlefield. ARC Raiders has a strong PvP element, but you can play solo or multiplayer without stress. Also, once cleared, Celeste's next quest “Echoes of Victory Ridge” will be unlocked and the quest chain will continue. If you complete all of Celeste's quests, you'll receive tons of valuable skins and advanced parts.
Quest occurrence conditions
- Prerequisite quest: Clear “Bounds of the Past”
- Client: Celeste (Speranza trader)
- Time limit: Within 1 round (replay mode recommended)
- Recommended level: Beginner OK, suitable for intermediate and above
- Map: Dam Battlefield
“Bounds of the Past” is about disabling the EMP trap at Victory Ridge, so you need to clear that in advance. Celeste's quests are generally focused on exploration, and feature less combat than Shani's and Tian Wen's quests.
Recommended preparation and loadout
Although this quest does not require battle, other players and ARC enemies may be lurking on the Dam battlefield, so we recommend the following preparations.
Optimal loadout
- Survivor type: Suitable for exploration as it carries a lot of weight and has wide safety pockets. “Loot MK3 (Survivor)” is ideal.
- Weapon: Hull Cracker III or higher for interpersonal use (insurance against Queen). The main ones are stitchers and weapons for interpersonal combat.
- item:
- Herbal bandage x10 (HP recovery)
- Adrenaline injection x3 (movement speed increase)
- Surge shield recharger x5 (shield recovery)
- Zip line x 3 (high-altitude movement)
- Smoke grenade x 2 (for escape)
We recommend previewing with the free loadout. You need to activate stamina skills (e.g. dash enhancement) and try to move stealthly. When playing multiplayer, it is efficient to ask your teammates to search for enemies.
Tips before starting
- Select replay mode to reduce enemies.
- Request supplies to be dropped off at a call station and collect them along the way.
- Weight management: Transporting the helmet will add about 10 kg, so we will reduce the weight in advance.
Detailed Strategy Chart: Step by Step
After dropping into the dam battlefield, head towards the southeast. It takes about 5-10 minutes. The route and gimmick will be thoroughly explained below.
Step 1: Head to the remains of the Formicai Mountains.
- Map location: Southeast corner of the Dam Battlefield, near the junkyard and Formikai outpost. Look for the “Remains of the Formikai Mountains” icon on the map.
- Best drop point: Near the collapsed bridge to the southeast. From there, go east and north along the forest road.
- Route details:
- From the start, zip line down to the high ground overlooking the dam to the southeast.
- Avoid the swamps and pass through areas with barred windows (fewer enemies).
- Enter the forest and aim for the place where you can see the huge ARC wreckage (Baron Husk).
- Note: Wasps and hornets are likely to appear in the area, so use the Snitch Scanner to search for them. Be careful around the hatch during PvP.

Step 2: Find your lost helmet
- Location details: Slightly north of the wreckage, there is a suspicious grassy area (dense grass in the forest). It is dropped half-buried in the ground in front of the huge ARC wreckage.
- How to find: Interact with (investigate) the grass. It can be identified by the glowing effect.
- Visual Features: Grass clumps sway unnaturally. This is the position in the shadow of the wreckage.
- Tips: Use search skills to highlight. I will walk around the area to make sure I don't miss anything.
When you pick it up, a “lost helmet” will be added to your inventory. Weight is approximately 5-10kg.
Step 3: Return the helmet to the monument
- Location: South of where the helmet was found, on the iron bar (monument) right next to the ARC wreckage.
- Installation method: Automatically installed by interaction. You can confirm completion with effects and SE.
- Gimmick: Just put the helmet on the stick. Clearing occurs immediately.
- Note: You can return immediately after installation. You can use the raider hatch by bringing the hatch key.
Step 4: Return of Speranza
Escape through the hatch or exfill. It should be within one round.
Reward details and usage
- 5 simple gun parts: Used for basic weapon crafting (Rattler III, etc.). Strengthening your weapons in the early stages is essential.
- Duct tape x 5: For repair and fixation. Ideal for making barricade kits.
- Magnet x 5: Electronic component synthesis. It can be used for high-end items such as LiDAR scanners.
With these, you can immediately craft “Tactical MK1” and “Binoculars”. You can become even more efficient with Celeste trading.
