Valor Mortis Walkthrough

The campaign runs linearly through 12 regions and 11 chapters, with no optional areas and no optional bosses. Backtracking is voluntary but worthwhile: Grappling and the later Transmutations re-open routes in regions you have already cleared, and those routes carry Ambers and flask upgrades.

Chapter list

Spoiler levels

Chapter pages are written in three tiers so you can read the part you need:

• Safe — region, Lanterns and the order to do things, with boss names hidden.
• Standard — everything except narrative outcomes and late-game locations.
• Full — includes boss move sets, quest outcomes and where the finale takes you.

The route that works

If you want one playthrough with no wasted trips, this order keeps return visits short:

1. Clear each chapter's pickups before finishing the boss — that chapter's Lanterns are still close together.
2. When Grappling opens in Chapter 3, sweep the two earlier regions for the ledges it unlocks.
3. Upgrade Shield to level 5 as soon as you get it in Chapter 8, before spending a second max-level material.
4. Treat the Vale of Wrath as the big mid-game clean-up: seven unique Ambers touch it.
5. Finish the Fortress and Prison clean-up before the Entropy sequence, which closes behind you.

Chapter names, region mapping and unlock points are cross-checked against the in-game chapter titles; see the updates page for the audit trail.
