Assassin's Creed Unity: Your Guide to Not-So-Secret Souvenirs (Because Who Needs Stealth When You Can Be a Tourist?)
Let's face it, Arno Dorian might be a master assassin, but his fashion sense is a little too focused on practicality. Where's the flair, the pizzazz? Well, fear not fellow history enthusiast/serial collector, because this guide will turn you from a ruthless killer into a ruthless souvenir hunter!
Memento Mania: What Are We Even Looking For?
These little beauties are scattered throughout revolutionary Paris like pigeons with excellent taste. They come in two flavors:
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
- The History Buff's Dream: These are those fancy shield-shaped emblems hidden all over the city. Think of them as little slices of Parisian history you can shove in your pocket (without getting shanked, hopefully).
- Participation Trophies for Revolutionaries: These are awarded for completing various activities, from finishing the main story (because, hello, participation matters!) to conquering those tricky murder mysteries (because who doesn't love a good memento mori, right?).
Becoming a Master Memento Collector: A Guide (with Optional Sarcasm)
1. Embrace Your Inner Tourist: Forget the brooding assassin stuff. This is all about sightseeing! Scale every building, shimmy through every nook and cranny, because that glint you see just might be a sweet emblem. Pro Tip: Eagle Vision is your best friend here. Unless, of course, you enjoy accidentally leaping to your death because you thought a gargoyle was a collectible.
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
2. Channel Your Inner Completionist: Did you see all those little icons on the map that totally don't scream "assassinate this target?" Yeah, those are your new best friends. Co-op missions, Nostradamus Enigmas (because who doesn't love cryptic prophecies?), even those weird heist things – they all have mementos waiting for you at the finish line.

3. Murder, She Wrote (and Collected): Paris is full of delightful murder mysteries, and what better way to commemorate a grizzly end than with a memento? Just remember, not all victims are created equal. Some offer better loot... I mean, tributes... than others.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
4. The Grind is Real: There's a lot of history (and emblems) packed into this city. So, strap in for some good old-fashioned video game grinding. Think of it as your daily dose of revolutionary exercise!
The Brag Factor: Where to Flaunt Your Fancy Finds
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
Once you've amassed a collection worthy of a museum heist (minus the actual heist, we don't want trouble with the law), head over to the Cafe Theatre. There you'll find your very own Memento Gallery, a place to bask in the glory of your tourist... I mean, assassin... achievements.
So there you have it! With a little dedication and a whole lot of questionable tourist behavior, you'll be a memento master in no time. Now get out there and snag those Parisian souvenirs (and maybe try not to get stabbed while you're at it)!
