Closer look
The river
Hop down to the river from the Mass Grave Bell and beat the friendly NPC there. Within 10 to 15 seconds of the nearby enemies dying, they switch sides and attack as a Maskwalker. Should they have been beaten earlier, a Memory Flower rests on the ground, ready to take.
This drop is bugged. Kill the NPC prior to the hostile change to improve the chance of the Memory Flower dropping, and should it fail to show, load your last autosave and retry. Before killing them, you should also collect the Shattered "Hero's Courage" through the tale The Undying Heroic Spirit.
Routes and movement
