Love and Deepspace has no shortage of game modes to play or stories to complete. However, memories are arguably the best part of the game, as they allow you to delve deeper into each character’s story and develop your relationship with them. With memories being such a highlight of Love and Deepspace, it makes sense that you would want to know every possible way to obtain them.

The galaxy is full of stars. Why not wish on them all?
Luckily, there are several ways to collect Memories in Love And Deepspace, and no shortage of memories to collect, either. You can collect them from special events, in permanent and limited edition Wish Pools, and through the Monthly Promise.
Updated on January 27, 2025, by Eva Csaki: We’ve returned to this guide to add all new pull rewards and memory formats in the 3.0 update.
What Are Memories?
Memories are collectible moments you can use in your combat team or interact with on special story dates.
You need memories to enter combat stages and improve your battle prowess as you complete challenge stages like Deepspace Trials or the Hunter Contest.
Memories are also additions to the main storyline and can be played in the Date tab of the Deepspace Café menu.
All Memory Types
Memories come in different categories and, depending on the type of memory, will give you access to different interactions.
Memory Rarity
The first way that memories are classified is by rarity.
There are three rarity categories for memories:
- Three-star memories (R)
- Four-star memories (SR)
- Five-star memories (SSR)
Three-star memories are the most common memory rarity and will be drawn the most frequently from Wish Pools. While three-star memories are the easiest to upgrade, they become less useful as you progress further into the game.
Three-star memories have the lowest stat benefits and the fewest special interactions of the memory types. These memories do not have corresponding Date interactions, background imagery, or special combat buffs.
Four-star memories are middle-tier memories. These memories provide better combat buffs, are slightly more difficult to upgrade and rank, and come with interactive storylines to be played in the date tab.
Four-star memories are not fully interactive three-dimensional stories, but they do unlock special audio stories in the By Your Side menu of the date tab and occasionally Falling For You Memoria stories.
Some of these memories, called Secret Times memories, are audio-only stories that don’t require any reading or visuals, while others, Tender Moments, are audio stories with accompanying written storylines.
Four-star memories added to the Memoria tab can be played in a visual-novel style, but they won’t have a playable Kindled moment. Instead, the moment that would equate to a Kindled moment, will pull up the four-star memory’s image, adding context to the scene.
Finally, five-star memories are the rarest type of memory and provide the most powerful buffs. These memories are the most difficult to obtain but are worth the investment of Diamonds and Empyrean Wishes needed to draw them from Wish Pools.
Five-star memories also unlock fully interactive three-dimensional stories you can play in the Falling For You section of the Date tab. Each five-star memory also has a ‘Kindled’ moment that you can replay in the Memory tab.
Five-star memories are separated into three sub-categories: Bonds, Memoria, and Myths.
Bond
Bond memories are interactive moments adjacent to the game’s main story arc. Each bond memory involves a moment that occurs at some point in the main story timeline.
Memoria
Memoria are special memories that don’t necessarily fall into a specific point in the main timeline. These stories can be side-quests or one-off adventures that you can go on with each character.
Most limited-time event memories are five-star Memoria memories. These memories are only around for a limited time and disappear once the event is over or until the memory returns in an event rerun or is permanently added to the Wish Pool.
Myths
Finally, the third type of five-star memory to obtain is Myths.
Myths are stories that may take place long before the game’s main storyline or continue a chapter’s events. These can be snippets of past lives and occasionally alternate lifetimes where the protagonist has interacted with each of the love interests.
Some myths, like Sylus and Caleb’s permanent myths, take place during the main storyline.
Myths are not single moments, but rather multi-chapter stories that are unlocked as you obtain Myth Shards and complete Mythic Memory pairs.
As you unlock five-star memories in a Myth pair, you will also add the Kindled moment of those five-star memories to the Myth stage storyline.
How To Get Memories
There are plenty of ways to get memories in Love and Deepspace, and even when there is no event running, you have access to earning and upgrading your new or existing memories.
Wish Pools
The most common way to get memories is by using Empyrean and Deepspace Wishes to pull them from Wish Pools. There are two types of Wish Pools to use.
The first type of pool is the permanent Wish Pool, Xspace Echo. This pool uses Empyrean Wishes and contains only permanent memories. You will not find limited-run memories here unless they are added in a future update.
The second type of pool is the limited Wish Pool. Limited Wish Pools change from event to event and will feature special, limited five-star memories to obtain alongside all Xspace Echo memories. Limited pools do not use regular Emyprean Wishes, but rather Deepspace Wishes or Limited Deepspace Wishes.
Once a Limited pool ends, any unused Deepspace Wish: Limited will be turned into regular Empyrean Wishes.
Wish Crates
Almost all Wish Pools have a pull rewards system. These pull rewards include special prizes, materials, and sometimes, Wish Crates.
Wish Crates are crates that you can open to obtain a single memory from a pool of possible memories. There are different Wish Crate rarities: SR and SSR. SR Wish Crates only contain four-star memories. SSR Wish Crates only contain five-star memories.
Wish Crates can contain either permanent memories or limited memories, depending on how you earned them and the memory pool each crate can pull from.
In Xspace Echo, Wish Crate: SR offers any permanent four-star memory for any of the love interests in the permanent pool. Wish Crates: SSR only offer the five-star myth memories in Xspace Echo.
Wish crates in Xspace Echo work retroactively. That means that each time a new love interest is introduced, if you have a Wish Crate in your inventory you’ve been saving, you will be able to draw the new love interest’s memories as well. Consider saving your crates for the next character release.
For most Wish Crates, you will be able to choose which memory you want when you open them. However, some Wish Crates give you a random memory from the possible memory pool.
Events also grant Wish Crates in their pull rewards sections. However, these crates will usually only contain the memory or memories showcased in that pool. For single-memory limited pools, you won’t have any choice of memory but you can open the Wish Crate for a guaranteed copy of the event memory.
Event pull rewards change from event to event, but the Xspace Echo rewards don’t. Here is the list of pull rewards you can get from Xspace Echo:
The best way to use your Wish Crates is to save them for the end of a pull. So, if you plan to spend 50 Empyrean Wishes in Xspace Echo and you earned a crate in that time, wait until your wishes are done before you open your crate. You may just pull the memory you wanted without needing the Wish Crate.
Wish Crates are a great way to fill in your teams or complete Myth Pairs.
You should always save your event-limited Wish Crates for the end of the event if they contain more than just a single memory. When the event ends, if you haven’t pulled the memory or memories you wanted, you can use your Wish Crates without fear of duplicates.
If you’re looking to fully rank a specific memory for your combat teams, Wish Crates can also be opened to get copies of memories you already have.
Events
Not all memory-giving events are Wish Pools, but most will have an accompanying Wish Pool to supplement the event’s activities and give you more ways to earn limited memories.
Some limited events are log-in events that will reward you with a limited-time memory simply for logging into the game consecutively over a certain timeframe. Most log-in events require seven log-ins within the event period, but they’ll usually give you around ten or more days to complete the event.
There are also interactive events that involve mini-games, special stages, limited storylines, or other special interactions. Sometimes, completing these special event types will reward you with memories, outfits, profile titles, background music, stickers, and more.
Some events even give Myth memories that unlock limited-run Myth storylines.
While not available for every limited memory type, you can occasionally replay Event storylines. Either choose the event memory and look for the special recall icon at the top right under the gift box, use the Deepspace Voyage tab in the event list, or head to your With Him tab and replay written event stories in the Love Timeline.
Many log-in events only offer a single copy of a memory. Once the event ends, you can usually find this memory in Galaxy Explorer or the Wishing Well Exchange.
Galaxy Explorer
Galaxy Explorer is a daily way to earn memories when you don’t have any Empyrean or Deepspace Wishes to spend.
You can find the Galaxy Explorer in the top right of the Wish Pool menu.
There are two Galaxy types to explore, the Silver Galaxy and the Radiant Galaxy. The Silver Galaxy can only reward you with three or four-star memories and shards, while the Radiant Galaxy gives you a chance to obtain five-star memories and memory shards, which can be accumulated to craft and rank up memories.
It takes 30 shards of a four-star memory to craft the memory and 40 shards of a five-star memory.
To complete a Galaxy Exploration you need Magnets. Silver Magnets unlock one Silver Galaxy exploration, while Radiant Magnets unlock explorations through the Radiant Galaxy.
Each exploration, regardless of galaxy type, costs one magnet, rewards only one memory, and takes eight hours to complete.
Before starting an exploration, you can adjust the Signal strength bars in the Galaxy menu. While no one has uncovered the exact science of how best to use the signals jus yet, there is some evidence that certain signal frequencies increase your drop odds for certain memories, characters, or additional rewards.
If you don’t want to wait eight hours for your memory rewards, you can also use Speedup Cubes to automatically finish the mission. You can get Speedup Cubes from the Daily and Weekly task menus, the Traveler’s Shop Exchange, or by spending Quality Time with your love interests.
Occasionally, you will earn Radiant Magnets by completing explorations in the Silver Galaxy.
Radiant Magnets don’t expire, making them a great way to stock up for new character releases. Having at least one exploration running at a time is great for those of you who want a steady stream of Heartsand or chances at rare memories.
However, saving them for a new character release guarantees opportunities to earn memories from a broader pool.
Monthly Promise
Finally, you can earn memories from the Monthly Promise tab. Promises last for around sixty days. In a Promise, you collect Daily and Weekly task points to improve your Promise Level and earn special memories and rewards.
Certain level milestones will reward you with special items and collectibles. The ultimate reward for each Promise period is a four-star memory. There are two four-star memories to collect each Promise period.
You can pay to unlock the Secret Promise or Heartfelt Vow and obtain even more rewards. Doing so will also give you the ability to collect both available four-star memories and upgrade them to rank three.
If you do not want to pay for either the Heartfelt Vow or Secret Promise, you will only have a chance to unlock one of the memories (of your choice) and cannot fully rank it.
How To Improve Memories
Since Memories are vital for combat stages, you will need to know how to improve their stats and skill buffs.
There are four ways to upgrade a memory: ascension, ranking up, Awakening, and applying Protocores.
To ascend your memories, you need to use Bottles of Wishes as well as ascension crystals in whatever Stellactrum color that memory is.
After hitting every tenth level, you need to use Ascension Crystals and pay Gold to ascend the memory. Once you’ve reached level 80, you can then awaken the memory with Awakening Hearts.
To rank up your memories, you need to obtain duplicates of that memory or obtain memory shards. After accumulating four of that memory (or the equivalent value in shards) the memory is considered fully ranked. At this point, it will obtain an iridescent glow and its stats will improve greatly.
Protocores are the final way you can upgrade a memory. Protocores give you stat boosts and debuffs that you can equip on your memories.
You can improve and ascend your Protocores by dismantling other Protocores. Once Protocores have hit the max ascension level, they can no longer be improved and are given the greatest buff possible.
