The memory wipe only extended within the facility itself, thus Venat could have taken Emet-Selch to a place where he had interacted with the others before entering the facility to ensure her warning carried weight.

...and even if he initially brushed off the warning, when the Final Days began to manifest, would he not then realise that Venat was telling the truth? Let's not forget that Venat's word carries a lot of weight in itself, given that she is a respected figure within the Ancient world.

Much of the story rests on flimsy reasoning which is a shame because Venat went from a very likable and well meaning character during the Elpis arc to one of the most horrid. I think she deserved a better ending than what she's now stuck with. Simply having Venat lose her memory alongside Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus would have worked much more smoothly and made her a more tragic figure than having her deliberately avoid telling anyone anything.
The problem with this argument is that

A. If she lost her memories to become a tragic hero, she never would’ve become hydaelyn
And
B. If she did solve it all back then with emet and hythlo, we wouldn’t even exist in the game since the world would be whole.
Somebodies lapse of judgement is what lead to our story now. I’m not saying she was good but not completely bad either. sorry you didn’t like the story , but it’s all we got.
