Hero Memories
Last Updated:October 24, 2024|Changelog
Hero Memories are one of Torchlight Infinite's powerful endgame character progression systems. Players use these Hero items to further customize their builds. In addition to their powerful bonuses, Hero Memories have specific slots which are used to socket Hero Memories. Memories of Origin, Discipline, and Progress all slot into different locations.
Upgrade your Hero Memories to grant your character even more bonuses using Memory Scraps. Hero Memories have base stats that increase as you level up the Memory.
Hero Memories were introduced during the Blacksail Season, to find out more about the Blacksail mechanic, check out our Blacksail Seasonal Guide Here.
Farming Hero Memories
Your first Hero Memory is a Memory of Origin that drops from King Lionheart during the campaign. The second memory slot unlocks at level 60 and originally drops a Memory of Discipline from Ordrak at the end of the campaign. Your third slot memory unlocks at level 75 and you can get your first Memory of Progress by defeating the Voidlands Watcher on Timemark 5.
Hero Memories are available throughout the game, but they are frequently dropped by the Blacksail Mechanic. If you want to target farm Hero Memories or Memory Scraps, you can use the Shiny Blacksail Compass to force an encounter with the Blacksail Pirates in a Beacon or allocate points on the Blacksail Constellation in the Void Chart.
You can select Seal Whispers to drop Memory Scraps and Hero Memories from Blacksail Pirates, and the treasure hoard at the Void Sea Terminal usually contains a solid number of them. Most of the Hero Items dropped come from the Blacksail mechanic.
Most of the Hero Memories dropped by the Blacksail mechanic (or elsewhere) are of a low rarity, but if you're lucky you might also obtain a Legendary or Precious Legendary Hero Memory. These items are a lucrative farming opportunity for ambitious Hunters.
When you're searching for the perfect Hero Memories to complete your build, farming it alone can be difficult. Luckily, Hero Memories are tradable so you can purchase them from other players via the Trade House. This also means if you get a rare drop and can't use it, you can sell this to interested players for Flame Elementium.

How do Hero Memories Work?
After you earn your first Hero Memory, Memory of Origin from defeating King Lionheart, you equip it into the first slot on your Hero Trait Screen. This allows you to select a Hero Trait unlocked at that level.
Generally, you want your Hero Memories to enhance your most valuable stats.
Additionally, Hero Memories rolled with +2 Hero Trait Level increases the power of your selected Hero Trait.
Hero Memories drop at varying rarities and have specific limitations depending on the rarity.
Hero Memory Affixes
Hero Memories have one to five affixes on them depending on the rarity of the memory as well as the level.
Base Stats are increased incrementally as you level up your Memory using Memory Scraps. Memories can be upgraded 10 to 50 times depending on rarity.
Fixed Affixes cannot be modified in any way, so starting with a memory containing the affixes you desire is important.
Random Affixes are unlocked on a Memory at level 20 and level 40.
Random Affixes can be rerolled using the Memory Reconstruction. Memory Reconstruction uses Memory Scraps and Memory Threads.
