Collectibles · 16 Vessel Shards

All 16 Silver Pines Vessel Shard locations

Answer

There are 16 Vessel Shards, four per extra Memento slot.

Each one hangs inside a wooden bird wind chime. Knock it down (bullet or melee), pick up the shard, and combine four in the inventory. The first four are all in Downtown and the Sheriff’s Station.

How shards work

  1. Look up. Chimes hang from ceilings, vents and balconies, often in the dark (bring the Flashlight).
  2. Shoot or hit the bird. Melee saves ammo when you can reach it.
  3. With four shards, combine them into a Memento Vessel and use it: +1 Memento slot.

FAQ

16. Every four combine into a Memento Vessel that adds one Memento slot, so all 16 give four extra slots and the Memento Mori achievement.
