Valor Mortis is One More Level's first-person Soulslike, and its trophy list pulls no punches. With 39 total achievements across PS5, Xbox, and PC, you'll need to beat every boss, track down hidden side quests, pull off some genuinely tricky combat feats, and yes, die in at least one very specific way. The platinum (or full completion on Xbox, which adds a Mythic Achievement) demands a real commitment. Here's everything you need to know.
How many trophies does Valor Mortis have?
The game has 39 trophies and achievements in total. The count is consistent across all platforms, though Xbox technically frames the completion trophy as a new Mythic Achievement tier. Getting everything requires beating all bosses, finishing five side quests, collecting all Ambers, maxing out weapons and transmutations, and landing a handful of skill-based feats that will test your patience.
For a broader look at what the game involves before you start hunting, the Valor Mortis release date, platforms, and edition guide has everything on pricing and availability.
Valor Mortis Trophy List: All Achievements & Trophies & How to Unlock Them
All Valor Mortis trophies and achievements
Platinum and completion
| Trophy | Description |
|---|---|
| Nephtis Superioris | Obtain all trophies |
Boss kill trophies
These eight trophies unlock by defeating each of the game's main bosses. Most are straightforward story progression, but you have to actually beat them to register the achievement.
| Trophy | Boss to Defeat |
|---|---|
| Torn Banner | General Lothaire, the Eagle-Bearer |
| Ultima Ratio Regum | The Iron Marshall |
| Not a Cat Person | The Sphinx |
| Quixotry | The Slaughtermill |
| My Dying Bride | The Bride |
| True Oath | Justicar Aurelius |
| Lament of the Limbs | Experiment 83 |
| Coup de Grâce | The Orphan |
| Behemoth | Nephtis Superioris |
| In His Own Image | The Entity |
| Birdwatcher | Rendezvous with the Shrike |
Weapon and upgrade trophies
These five trophies reward you for going deep on the game's arsenal. You don't need to max everything, just one weapon or transmutation in each category, plus unlocking the full roster.
| Trophy | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Arsenal Absolute | Unlock all weapons and transmutations |
| Gun of Glory | Upgrade a single firearm to maximum |
| Bladesmith | Upgrade a single melee weapon to maximum |
| Transmutation Artifex | Upgrade a single transmutation to maximum |
| Ambersmith | Gather all Ambers |
Combat feat trophies
This is where the list gets interesting. These trophies require specific combat conditions, some of which take deliberate setup.
| Trophy | How to Unlock |
|---|---|
| Aerial Annihilation | Kill an enemy with a headshot after a wall jump |
| Scattershot | Kill 5 enemies with a single Blunderbuss shot |
| Windhover | Kill 3 enemies with a pistol while aiming in mid-air |
| Hood-Snatcher | Decapitate 3 enemies with a single Claymore attack |
| Symphony of Steel | Perform 10 parries without taking damage |
| Flaming Feast | Set 4 enemies on fire with a single Flamethrower use |
| Statue of Insanity | Fully lock Sergeant Gaspard 'Cannonhand' Dubois in Stasis |
| Abyssal Eviction | Kill an enemy by pushing them into the abyss with Shield Bash |
| Single Stroke | Shoot off a Risen Grenadier's bucket |
| God's Trigger | Land 10 consecutive headshots or weak point hits without missing |
| Frenzied Flame | Ignite the bonfire in the castle |
| Jackknife | Deal damage with every melee weapon, firearm, and transmutation without dying |
| Fight Fire With Fire | Ignite an enemy while you are also ignited |
After testing combat scenarios across multiple runs, Scattershot and Flaming Feast are the two that require the most deliberate setup. Both need enemies grouped tightly, so look for corridor sections or chokepoints where enemies funnel together. Hood-Snatcher with the Claymore is similarly situational but reliably doable in areas with clustered lighter enemies.
Symphony of Steel is the one that will trip up aggressive players. Ten consecutive parries without taking a single hit means you need a clean stretch of combat with no mistakes. Find a section with predictable enemy attack patterns and practice the timing before attempting it seriously.

Side quest trophies
Five side quests each carry their own trophy. These are missable if you progress too far without triggering them, so keep an eye out for NPC interactions throughout the game.
| Trophy | Quest |
|---|---|
| We Wear the Same Colours | Complete the Oathbound quest |
| A Bitter Cure | Complete the Laudanum quest |
| Blood and Wine | Complete the Curious Case of Seamus Diggory quest |
| Hand in the Jar | Complete the Deserter quest |
| Aggressive Reconnaissance | Complete the Unheard Farewell quest |
| The Book of Beasts | Complete the Monster Hunt quest |
Miscellaneous and secret trophies
These three are earned through specific situations, two of which you might stumble into naturally and one you'll definitely need to aim for.
| Trophy | How to Unlock |
|---|---|
| Mind the Gap | Die by falling into the abyss |
| Rookie Mistake | Attempt to use a Ferrofluid Flask with none remaining |
| In the Nick of Time | Interact with a Lantern while below 20% health with no flasks remaining |
Mind the Gap is the easiest trophy in the game. Find an abyss edge and jump. Done. Rookie Mistake will likely happen to you organically if you're playing aggressively and forget to check your flask count. In the Nick of Time is the trickiest of the three because it requires you to be in a genuinely desperate state and still reach a Lantern before dying.

What's the fastest route to platinum in Valor Mortis?
The combat feat trophies are the ones most likely to require a second playthrough if you miss them. Jackknife in particular, which demands you deal damage with every melee weapon, firearm, and transmutation without dying, requires access to the full arsenal. Pair that run with Arsenal Absolute to knock both out together.
Side quests are the other major concern. The Oathbound, Laudanum, Deserter, Unheard Farewell, Monster Hunt, and Curious Case of Seamus Diggory quests all need to be triggered and completed, and some have specific unlock conditions tied to exploration and NPC dialogue. Rushing the main story without talking to characters is the fastest way to lock yourself out.
