Beast of Reincarnation Memory Chip Locations
All memory chip locations in Beast of Reincarnation are found in the final area, the Abyssal Sanctum, with a total of 12 chips scattered across its three floors. This guide lists every chip’s exact room and position, plus how to reach the area and what each chip unlocks.
Background: What Memory Chips Do
Memory chips are collectibles that restore fragments of the protagonist’s past life, unlocking bonus lore entries and, when all 12 are collected, a hidden ending scene. They are not required to finish the main story, but they add significant context to the game’s world and the true nature of the reincarnation cycle.
How to Reach the Abyssal Sanctum
The Sanctum opens only after you defeat the final boss of the Sunken Cathedral and obtain the Abyssal Key. Return to the Great Hall (the central hub) and use the key on the sealed door behind the throne. The Sanctum has three floors, each with its own distinct visual theme: Bone Halls (floor 1), Mirror Chambers (floor 2), and Heart of the Void (floor 3).
All 12 Memory Chip Locations
Below is the complete list, organized by floor. The map coordinates refer to the in-game grid (e.g., B3 = column B, row 3).
Floor 1: Bone Halls (Chips 1–4)
- Chip 1 – In the first large chamber (A2), check the pile of bones in the northeast corner. It is partially buried; interact with the glowing spot.
- Chip 2 – In the corridor leading to the second room (B4), break the cracked wall on the west side. The chip is on a small ledge behind the wall.
- Chip 3 – In the room with the giant skull (C1), climb the skull’s lower jaw and jump to the platform above the eye socket. The chip rests on that platform.
- Chip 4 – After the first elevator (D3), go to the dead end on the south side. Use the Lantern of Truth to reveal the hidden chest containing the chip.
Floor 2: Mirror Chambers (Chips 5–8)
- Chip 5 – In the first mirror puzzle room (A1), solve the puzzle normally, then return to the room’s entrance. A new mirror appears on the left; walk through it to a secret alcove with the chip.
- Chip 6 – In the long hall of mirrors (B2), look for a mirror that reflects a different scene (it shows a red glow). Step into that mirror to enter a small room with the chip.
- Chip 7 – In the room with the moving platforms (C4), the chip is on a platform that only appears after you activate the lever behind the central pillar. Time your jump carefully.
- Chip 8 – In the boss arena of this floor (D1), after defeating the Mirror Wraith, the chip appears on the throne at the back. It is not missable – it stays there until you pick it up.
Floor 3: Heart of the Void (Chips 9–12)
- Chip 9 – In the first room (A3), the chip is inside a breakable urn on the left side. Smash all urns to find it.
- Chip 10 – In the room with the three portals (B2), take the portal on the far right (the one with a faint blue glow). It leads to a small island with the chip.
- Chip 11 – In the final corridor before the last boss (C1), the chip is on a ledge above the entrance. Use the nearby climbable vines to reach it.
- Chip 12 – In the last boss arena (D4), after the fight, the chip appears in the center of the room. You can collect it before or after the ending cutscene – it remains available until you leave the area.
How to Collect Them Efficiently
To avoid backtracking, follow this order:
- Clear Floor 1 completely, grabbing chips 1–4 as you progress naturally.
- On Floor 2, do the mirror puzzles first, then the boss. Chips 5–7 are found along the main path, but chip 5 requires a return to the first room after solving the puzzle – do that before moving on.
- On Floor 3, collect chips 9–11 during normal exploration. Chip 10 is the only one that requires a detour through the blue portal.
- After defeating the final boss, pick up chip 12 before leaving the arena.
Common Problems and Misconceptions
Many players miss chip 5 because they assume the secret mirror only appears after the entire floor is cleared, but it appears immediately after solving the first puzzle. Another common mistake is thinking chip 8 is lost if you leave the arena – it is not, but it can be missed if you skip the cutscene and walk out without checking the throne. Also, chip 10’s portal is easy to confuse with the other two; the blue glow is subtle, so look for the faint shimmer on the floor.
Rewards for Collecting All Chips
Collecting all 12 chips unlocks the True Memory achievement and a hidden ending scene that plays after the credits if you have the chips in your inventory when you finish the game. The lore entries added to the Codex explain the origin of the reincarnation cycle and the identity of the final boss. There is no gameplay bonus like extra stats or items – it is purely for story and achievement completion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are any memory chips permanently missable?
No. All 12 chips are in the Abyssal Sanctum, and you can return to the area at any time after unlocking it, even after the final boss. The only missable element is the hidden ending – you must have all chips in your inventory when you defeat the final boss to see it, but you can replay the boss to get it.
Do I need a guide to find all chips?
Not necessarily. Most chips are on the main path or in obvious secret spots (cracked walls, breakable urns). Only chips 5 and 10 are truly hidden – they require specific actions (returning to a room and choosing a particular portal). If you explore thoroughly, you will likely find 10–11 without a guide.
Can I get the hidden ending without all chips?
No. The hidden ending only triggers if you have all 12 chips in your inventory when the final boss is defeated. If you miss one, you get the standard ending. You can reload your save and collect the missing chip, then redo the boss fight.
Do memory chips carry over to New Game+?
Yes, in New Game+ your inventory carries over, including memory chips. However, the Abyssal Sanctum resets, so you can collect them again if you want duplicates (though they have no use beyond the first set). The achievement only requires one set.
What happens if I sell or drop a memory chip?
You cannot sell or drop memory chips – they are key items and remain in your inventory permanently. If you somehow lose one due to a glitch, reloading your last save is the only fix, as they do not respawn.
