Valor Mortis Guides
Guides built from sourced records: what to do in each chapter, what can be lost, and how to route the pickups you still need.
Confirmed facts on this page carry their sources.
Valor Mortis is short enough that one well-planned playthrough covers everything. Nothing important is missable apart from a single trophy, free roam stays open after the final boss, and every region can be revisited, so the guides here focus on order and routing.

FAQ
Common questions about this topic.
Where should a new player start?
With the walkthrough hub for the chapter order, then the systems page for parry and Lantern basics. If you would rather plan than read, start with the Progress Planner.
Can everything be finished in one playthrough?
Yes. The trophy roadmap expects a single playthrough, free roam after the final boss and no New Game+ requirement, with exactly one missable trophy.
