I slammed the controller when yet another run ended with a cheap fall. You watch the trophy counter stubbornly refuse to budge. After hours, the map finally stopped feeling like a crypt and started feeling like a set of riddles.
All Valor Mortis Trophies and Achievements and How to Unlock Them
I see forums filling with screenshots of 100-percent lists and frustrated players asking for routes.
I’ve combed Valor Mortis on PC, PS5, and Xbox to give you a clean map of the 39 achievements you’ll chase. You’ll face boss fights, puzzle-like quests, and a handful of laughably specific deaths required for a few trophies. Read this if you want to spend your time hunting the right objectives instead of redoing the same room.
Quick fact: there are 39 achievements total across platforms — the same count on Steam (PC), PSN (PS5), and Xbox. Some are straightforward boss kills; others are small, easily missed actions. I’ll flag the ones that need extra attention so you don’t waste runs.

How to plan your runs
Players I follow on Steam and PSN often route runs to finish quest trophies first.
My advice: clear mandatory quest lines like Adjutant, Deserter, and Monster Hunt early to avoid missing them later. For gear upgrades (Bladesmith, Gun of Glory, Transmutation Artifex), use the vendor and upgrade menus on Steam or the console UI to track progress. If you want platform-specific help, community guides on Steam and threads on ResetEra often list precise item locations. Think of some of the hidden trophies as tiny traps you can avoid with a checklist; the rest behave like a stubborn riddle waiting for the right move.
How many trophies are in Valor Mortis?
There are 39 achievements across PC, PS5, and Xbox. The platinum/trophy equivalent on PSN is earned after you reach Nephtis Superioris, which requires collecting every other achievement.
How do I get all trophies in Valor Mortis?
Mix thorough quest completion with targeted boss kills. Prioritize quests that can become inaccessible, farm Ambers and weapon upgrades in calm runs, and plan one clean sweep for upgrade trophies. Use Steam’s achievement tracker or the PS5 trophy list to mark progress as you go.
Are any trophies missable in Valor Mortis?
Yes. Several quest-based achievements can be missed if you skip dialogue or leave an area without finishing an objective. Boss trophies are safe as long as you reach their encounters, but items tied to specific NPCs can vanish after choices — keep saves or a backup on Steam Cloud if you want safety.
Final notes and quick flags
Casual streamers and content creators tag specific trophies to clip moments; I do the same when a run produces a rare drop.
Two quick warnings: some deaths are required (Mind the Gap, Rookie Mistake), so don’t rage-quit those runs. If you prefer video references, search One More Level’s channels and community clips on YouTube or Twitch. Use the Steam community hub for maps and the PSN trophy forums for platform quirks. Remember the two metaphors I promised: a well-timed parry cuts through a room like a stiletto in fog, and the full achievement list reads like a ledger of grudges you can settle one by one.
Now tell me—which trophy are you chasing first?
