Unlocking the Memento Mori achievement in Marvel Rivals requires visiting a specific map location and performing a quick action. map-specific tasks can take some time to track down due to the large scale of each arena. If you want to check off this achievement quickly, here are the exact steps to follow.

Quick Steps at a Glance

  1. Queue into a Quick Match or Competitive round (or use the temporary featured playlist if available).
  2. Play until you randomly get the Thebes map.
  3. Navigate to the final portion of the map where the defending team spawns near the end.
  4. Locate Apocalypse's Sarcophagus directly in front of the spawn room.
  5. Stand near the sarcophagus and use any emote to instantly unlock the achievement.

Step 1: Load into Thebes on Quick Match or Competitive

The Memento Mori achievement can only be completed on the Thebes map, which is a Convoy map added on July 23, 2026. Because matchmaking selects maps randomly, you will need to keep playing until you land on Thebes. Quick Match is recommended for hunting achievements so you don't disrupt serious Competitive matches, though a temporary dedicated game mode is typically available for a week or less following a new map launch.

Step 2: Find Apocalypse's Sarcophagus

Once you are playing on Thebes, make your way to the final stretch of the map. Apocalypse's Sarcophagus sits directly outside the defending team's spawn room near the end of the level. You don't need to be inside the spawn room itself, meaning players on either team can access the area to complete the task.

Step 3: Perform an Emote

Stand right next to Apocalypse's Sarcophagus and trigger any emote from your wheel. The game will immediately register the action, marking the Memento Mori achievement as complete. If you encounter any tracking delay, try performing a couple of different emotes around various spots near the sarcophagus to ensure it registers.
