100% Checklist: All 39 Achievements in Order
The efficient route to all 39 Valor Mortis achievements: what falls naturally in the campaign, what needs a dedicated pass, and the order that avoids a second playthrough.
Quick Answer: How Do I Get 100% in Valor Mortis?
Play the campaign once, deliberately: parry well, shoot buckets, light lanterns, bank and spend Catalysts at doors, and push one weapon to max. That single run owns roughly two thirds of the list. The remaining third — Ambersmith's full Amber sweep, Arsenal Absolute's collection, the combat-school streaks and the hidden story beats — is a cleanup season after the credits with no second playthrough required. The Nephtis Superioris achievement (all achievements) is the seal on the file.
Falls Out of a Normal Campaign (Pass 1)
- All ten boss trophies — Torn Banner through In His Own Image (30.1% down to 0.6%).
- Rookie Mistake, Mind the Gap — you will earn both honestly.
- In the Nick of Time — lantern habit, done deliberately once.
- Single Stroke — the Grenadier bucket lesson.
- Bladesmith — one weapon, maxed, by the Iron Marshall.
- Flame Feast, Fight Fire With Fire — two flamethrower evenings.
- Symphony of Steel, God's Trigger — the combat school; drill on patrols.
The Cleanup Season (Pass 2, No New Playthrough)

After the credits: Ambersmith (the full Amber sweep — method on the Ambers page), Gun of Glory and Transmutation Artifex (finish the remaining upgrade paths), Arsenal Absolute (unlock everything), Windhover / Aerial Annihilation / Hoodsnatcher / Scattershot / Abyssal Eviction (the trick-shot school — each has a stage recipe on its achievement entry), Statue of Insanity (the Iron Regiment exam), Jack-knife (the no-death arsenal tour — schedule it, do not wing it), and the two long hunts: We Wear the Same Colors (every Eternal Guardsman) and the six hidden story achievements you likely already own.
The Order That Avoids Waste
Do the trick-shot school before the Amber sweep — both use the same patrol loops, and the shots need only weak enemies. Save Jack-knife for after Arsenal Absolute so one no-death life covers every tool at once. Statue of Insanity before the guards hunt: Remnants live in the patrols you will walk anyway. The platinum (Nephtis Superioris, 0.1%) lands when the last hidden story trophy is verified — for most players that means the story, not the hunting, was the long pole.
What the List Rewards
Read as a syllabus, the 39 achievements grade exactly what the campaign teaches: defense (Symphony of Steel, True Oath's boss), marksmanship (God's Trigger, Single Stroke), control (Statue of Insanity), traversal (Windhover, Aerial Annihilation), economy (the upgrade trio) and curiosity (Ambersmith, the guards hunt, the hidden six). Nothing demands a co-op partner, a second playthrough or an online grind — the 100% is a solo player's shelf, earned one lantern at a time.
