How to unlock the A Rook Really Likes Shiny Things achievement in Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Definitive Guide
Mementos emit a greenish glow even when far away.
You can by mementos from Faction stores and some civilian merchants throughout the towns. Faction stores have around 3-5 mementos that you can buy if you fully upgrade the store.
I finished the game with 146 out of 182 mementos, so don't worry if you miss a few.
A few tips:
1) Make sure you do every quest available, there's a few that unlock quest areas that can't be revisited, like the Deep Roads that is unlocked during Harding's companion quests.
2) Destroy boxes and containers often. Bioware often hides them under these.
3) Momentos bought from shops DO NOT count towards this trophy, but do help with another trophy for getting the Caretaker up to level 10. Because of this, my trophy didn't actually unlock until I had 100momentos.
4) Solve every puzzle in free roam areas as these are also hidden in locked and cut off areas.
Mementos in Dragon Age: The Veilguard aren’t just collectibles that build upon Thedas and The Veilguard’s lore, Mementos actually grant you you a certain amount of Caretaker Power points too, which allows you to upgrade the Lighthouse’s Caretaker’s Workshop - which in turn allows you to enchant and upgrade all equipment items (more about that later in Enhancements! (25G)).
While there are 2 achievements for collecting 20 Mementos (A Rook Likes Shiny Things (10G)) and 80 Mementos ('A Rook Likes Really Shiny Things'), you’re going to need around 150 Mementos to unlock the Enhancements! (25G) achievement.
While they’re not particularly hard to find (there’s usually one next to the special chests) and vendors also sell them (the faction ones are worth more Caretaker Power too), we’ve prepared a handy guide you can use below.
