Nightwater GuideNightwater Boon and Memory Checklist
Every boon and memory this site has documented, with where it is and how to get it. Tick them off as you find them; the list is saved in your browser.
Boons and memories are the two collectible families that players ask about most, and both are easy to lose track of because they sit inside different minigames and areas. This checklist gathers every one that the boon and memory guides document, with the area it belongs to, how to trigger it and what it does when the source says. Ticks are stored only in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere and the list survives a reload.
Entries marked "not stated" have no documented effect yet; they will be filled in when a developer post or a player thread describes one. Locations come from community guides and are cross-checked against forum threads where possible.
