Manifestation
Area(s)	Bastion; Revendreth; Maw

Manifestations (or memories) are aberrations found in Bastion, Revendreth and the Maw.

In Bastion shedding memories of life can result in dangerous creatures known as manifestations. As the Kyrian shed the burdens of their past lives, physical manifestations of their tormented thoughts are expelled from their bodies. Only by striking them down can the Kyrian cleanse themselves and achieve ascendance. Manifestations carry great power within them--power that may be purified and used in creations at the forge.

In Revendreth manifestations are the result of unresolved issues made manifest in the process venthyr used to extract anima as well as produced when souls in Revendreth are unable to be tended to. These entities are dangerous if left unchecked, and must be purged by Stoneborn regularly.

Notes and trivia

• They come in blue, green, black, and red variations.
• They use the sound files named "LifeBurden".
• Death elementals seem to be a similar type of creature.
• In the first Bastion preview after BlizzCon 2019, they were called manifestations. In the second preview shortly prior to the Shadowlands alpha, their name was changed to memories while retaining the same description. In the game, both names are used.
• In the Endmire and Catacombs of Regret, you can see Devourers latched onto some larger Manifestations. Given they feed on anima, and even though Manifestations are byproducts of anima extraction, it implies they are still made or contain anima.
• Resonant Misery manifestations in the Maw are in  [60] Filling the Tanks quest considered a variety of slimes.
• While Memories in Bastion are a byproduct of the path to ascension as aspirants purge their memories, Manifestations in Revendreth are a result of sins being extracted from penitent souls.
