The movie the host

Question

In the movie the host, a different species inhabits the body of a girl. The girl is still in there along with the other species that has inhabited her. Would it make sense if the 'alien' said:

Would you say 'on memory'?
There is no way I could have found the way on the human's memory alone. Had she not been in here to tell me where to go, I wouldn't have found the place.

Thank you

I think you mean that it would not have found it using the human's memory. "On" does not work. "By" works, but "using" is clearer:

There is no way I could have found the way by the human's memory alone.
There is no way I could have found the way using the human's memory alone.

Would you never say in any context 'on memory alone'?

Can I ask if it is not too much trouble. Your opinion is what I would like please.
I think I am correct, but can I run 3 situations by you?

I play this game clash of clans where your goal is to get as high level as possible. You start at level one and you can go as high as level 200.
You also have leagues, depending on the number of trophies you have, you are placed in a league, the more battles you win the more trophies you get, the more trophies you have the higher you league.

Having said that

Is correspond the right word and are the 2 sentences natural? How would you say this :
I am in the league that corresponds to my level. I'm not in a league that's too strong for me nor too weak for me.

How would you say:
I play this game clash of clans where your goal is to get as high level as possible
I play this game clash of clans where your goal is to go up levels.

I don't know which is appropriate. How should the sentences be written?
He's strong in certain respects/aspects/regards. He's can endure the hardships of life but he's a very sensitive person. He doesn't need people's approval in that he doesn't care what people think. He's lost his parents which has hardened him.

This is a rant,do you find anything wrong with it grammatical?
I understand why people only love their cat or dog. A dog only adds to your chores. You have to take it out, vacuum after him, buy it food. Unless it's your dog or cat that you love and who keeps you company, you're not going to like it because you won't want to do all the things I stated above for an animal that isn't yours. You are less likely to put up with all of that. So if your girlfriend has asked you to move it and you find yourself feeding, taking out the dog, vacuuming and you wonder why it annoys you. It's simple, you don't love it like she does.

Thank you for you time and help

Yes, but not the context you have there. "I could not find it depending on memory alone."

It is right if you put 'depending' ? and without it? I could not find it depending on memory alone."

Ps: I'm very intrigued about the 4 sentences up there, can I please show you the new post?

Thank you!!!

I must confess I can't come up with an example that uses "on memory", but I can see nothing to rule it out in the right setting.
