Fortress of Remembrance is a location in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.
Overview[]
The Fortress of Remembrance is a location on Bitterblack Isle. It is entered through the Corridor of Emptiness, has access to The Black Abbey, The Pilgrim's Gauntlet, and leads to Tower of Treasons Repaid (which provides access to the Forsaken Cathedral).
The locked gate to the Tower of Treasons Repaid can be opened with a Void Key found in The Pilgrim's Gauntlet.
There is a broken Riftstone on the First Level Underground which may be restored for 15,000 RC.
Enemies[]
Death will make an appearance on the bridge near the Corridor of Emptiness during the Arisen's first visit, and may randomly re-appear on subsequent visits near the Tower of Treasons Repaid.
Also, a Maneater will lurk in a random chest.

Pawn Chatter[]
- "The dark grows more oppressive beyond"
- "Stay vigilant---places unremarkable at glance may hold more."
- "The halls are narrow, and their twists and turns confounding. Let us be cautious."
Notes[]
- The voice of a Dead Arisen can be heard in a location here.
- Death can be killed here easily using a Knockdown exploit - for details see 'Farming Death'.
- The roof of the tower can be reached. It requires two harpy rides from the bridge, as a single flight will not gain enough height. A third harpy can be used to fly to the roof the very chamber for a long view down. There is nothing of note on the roof.
- The first level (where the Sculpture is) can also be reached using Sunflare/Reset jumping combinations, with the aid of a climbable enemy to give a good start. (Source: Super Jump (Dark Arisen, Dragons Dogma) [2min-2m30s] youtube.com)
