Valor Mortis Amber locations include quest rewards, ordinary chests, miniboss drops, and containers hidden behind traversal obstacles. Start from the named Lantern in each entry, then use the described landmark to identify the pickup. Repeated Amber names are separate pickups, so they can still matter after you have found that Amber once.
Two limitations affect this checklist. Perfect Copy requires the Shield Transmutation obtained in the University before you can cross its poison-covered route. Potent Concoction has a choice-dependent copy tied to Laudanum.
Perfect Copy and Perfectionism are separate Ambers with different locations. Check the exact name before following either route.
Match the Amber name before travelling
Compare the Amber name in your inventory with the pickup below before choosing a route. Perfect Copy and Perfectionism are separate items, and repeated names below represent different pickups.
Fallen Village Amber locations
Tomorrow’s Promise
From the Marketplace Lantern, complete the Lullaby side quest. Tomorrow’s Promise is the quest reward, so there is no separate chest route for this pickup.
Bountiful Harvest
Travel to the Fields and complete The Scarecrow. Bountiful Harvest is awarded for finishing that side quest.
Volatile End
From the Fields Lantern, follow the main path into the open field. Look for the barn filled with exploding bodies on the right side of the route. The chest containing Volatile End is at the back of that barn, behind the hazards.
Glass Soldier
At the Orchard, enter the boss area and climb into the building on the right from the entrance. Break the boxes inside, then drop through the back of the building. The Glass Soldier chest is in the area reached after that drop.
Warrior’s Fury
Begin at the Marketplace and enter the village house that a group of enemies is firing upon. Climb to its top floor, step onto the balcony, and jump across to the chest containing Warrior’s Fury.
The Battlefield Amber locations
Bottomless Well
At Onslaught Arch, turn back from the first Lantern and climb the cliffs by crossing the branches. Burn the gold vines found along this upper route. The chest behind the vines contains Bottomless Well.
Transmuted Persistence
From Onslaught Arch, advance into the battlefield while keeping near the side of the route with the burnable gold vines. Before passing through the metal carriage, burn those vines to open the concealed area. Defeat or bypass the enemies beyond them and open the chest for Transmuted Persistence.
Iron Grip
At the Trenches, continue until the game presents the Plunge Attack tutorial. Instead of climbing the wooden ledge used by the main route, enter the nearby dead end. Iron Grip is in the chest behind the enemy there.
Duellist’s Focus
Turn back from the Onslaught Arch Lantern, climb the cliffs, and continue beyond the camp until the path divides near a group of enemies. Take the branch marked by a shootable weak point in a wall. An Eternal Guardian connected to The Oathbound is inside. Defeat it, then open the chest behind its position to collect Duellist’s Focus.
Valley of Ashes Amber locations
Dominatus
From the Military Camp Lantern, move through the section filled with explosive barrels. Near the hill used to continue through the camp, locate the tent tucked into a corner. The chest inside contains Dominatus.
Potent Concoction
At the Quarry, climb the first set of wooden platforms and drop to the ledge. Near the shortcut ladder, burn the gold vines blocking the neighboring route. The Potent Concoction chest is beyond the vines near a group of enemies.
Surplus
Leave the Military Camp and climb the hill beyond it. Burn the gold vines to enter a cave containing a poison-covered section. Shoot the hanging lantern across the poison, then shoot the weak point that makes the swing route usable. Follow the resulting path upward and out of the cave. The chest on the cliff contains Surplus.
Perfect Copy
Return for Perfect Copy after obtaining the Shield Transmutation from the University. Starting at The Other Side, use the Shield to cross the poison and descend toward the camp concealed by it.
Shoot the weak spot in the train car to open the route near the poison. If the target is not visible from ground level, climb to the cliffs and aim down toward the car. After the passage opens, check the tent immediately beside the route. Perfect Copy is in the chest inside.
Sleight of Hand
At Demolished Path, complete An Unheard Farewell. Sleight of Hand is awarded as the side quest reward.
Indestructible Shell
From Guidepost, follow the main path past the first Grenadier. Before walking through the next metal carriage, open the chest beside the route to collect Indestructible Shell.
Marksman’s Bane
Climb to the top of the Quarry and ride the first zipline. Before continuing up the hill, break the boxes positioned at the platform’s edge. They conceal a path leading toward a tower occupied by an enemy. Reach that tower and open its chest for Marksman’s Bane.
Perfectionism
At Demolished Path, reach the ladder that can be kicked down, then retrace the path down past the plague vines. When you arrive behind the group of three enemies, take the side path leading to an Eternal Guardsman associated with The Oathbound. Defeat the guard and open the chest behind it for Perfectionism.
Caverns Amber locations
Dominatus
From Last Sunlight, enter the large cavern populated by multiple enemies. Stay near the side with the campfire and locate the miniboss fighting alongside other enemies. Defeating that miniboss awards Dominatus.
Bottomless Well
At Weeping Ledge, complete the Homesick side quest. Bottomless Well is the reward for completing the quest.
Limit Break
From Old Mine, enter the long cavern built around several levels of wooden platforms. Use the rope bridge as the main landmark, but search the bottom level in the opposite direction. A grapple point beside a wall-running section leads into a corner. Continue around that corner and look beneath the ramp for the chest containing Limit Break.
Lunatic’s Grasp
Follow the main path from Weeping Ledge until you drop into the room occupied by a large group of Carrion enemies. Locate the gold vines that must be burned to continue. The Lunatic’s Grasp chest is beside those vines rather than beyond them.
Surplus
From Old Mine, continue to the tunnels crossed by moving mine carts. In the first tunnel, find the ladder descending between two tracks near the shortcut back to the Lantern. Walk beyond that ladder to enter another route. Continue until you reach a lever controlling a box that moves vertically and can be frozen. Use the box and the nearby platforms to reach the chest above, which contains Surplus.
Lucky Shot
In the enemy-filled cavern near Last Sunlight, search for the hole with a visible tunnel below it. Enter that tunnel and follow it into the adjoining area. The Lucky Shot chest is positioned near a Grenadier.
Perfectionism
From Old Mine, enter the area where a crane-mounted box can be used to cross a gap. After crossing, climb the ladder and use the box again to reach the upper platform. Follow the route to its end and enter the cave occupied by an Eternal Guardian connected to The Oathbound. The Perfectionism chest is behind the guardian.
Vale of Wrath Amber locations
Wound that Heals
The first route begins at Wolfsbane Field. Progress the Lost Boy side quest until it grants access to the cellar, then open the chest inside.
A second pickup begins at Under the Bridge. Follow the main route into the forest until you reach the road covered with bodies. Climb the hill toward the house and defeat the miniboss stationed beside it. Wound that Heals is awarded after the miniboss falls.
Equivalent Exchange
At Wolfsbane Field, destroy the second weak point required for progression. Continue into the cave containing the shortcut back toward the preceding area. Enter the adjoining room, grapple to the platform above, and defeat the miniboss there to receive Equivalent Exchange.
Bountiful Harvest
A second Bountiful Harvest is awarded for completing The Deserter from the Under the Bridge area.
Butcher’s Carnage
One copy is the reward for completing In the Name of Art from the Under the Bridge area.
For another copy, begin at Ship Graveyard and grapple back toward the village. Enter the poison field and follow its path toward the balcony visible near the entrance to that section. The chest on the balcony contains Butcher’s Carnage.
Dilated Moment
From Under the Bridge, enter the fishing village and follow the route running beside the river. Continue until the path ends below a grapple point. The chest at that dead end contains Dilated Moment.
Lucky Shot
At Poisoned Camp, advance through the camp until you pass the two flamethrower Volunteers. Open the route by shooting the weak point on the carriage wall, then search the corner beyond it for a chest. The chest triggers bombs when first opened, so move clear of the blast before collecting Lucky Shot.
Perfectionism
A further Perfectionism pickup is inside the building entered during The Deserter in the Under the Bridge area. Open the chest at the back of that building.
Cursed Hollow Amber locations
Wound that Heals
From the Deep Water Lantern, turn back toward the miniboss positioned on the main path. Defeat that enemy to receive another Wound that Heals.
Tomorrow’s Promise
At Village Church, complete the third step of the Till Death side quest. Tomorrow’s Promise is awarded at that step.
Life Diverted
From Deep Water, follow the route toward the church until you reach the long straight section with a round space, a central hay bale, and a roaming cannon enemy. Move through the island area near the hay and find the Eternal Guardsman associated with The Oathbound. Life Diverted is in the chest behind the guard’s position.
Indestructible Shell
At Silent Cannons, continue beyond the shack occupied by Seamus. In the next area, locate the chest near the exploding bodies. The chest itself also explodes when opened, so retreat before returning to collect Indestructible Shell.
Warrior’s Fury
From Silent Cannons, pass Seamus’s shack and enter the house containing three notes. Exit through the other side to encounter a dog miniboss. Defeat the miniboss to obtain Warrior’s Fury.
City of Orphans Amber locations
Bountiful Harvest
At Tribunal Square, use the shortcut leading back toward the tower. Climb to the second ladder and defeat the miniboss waiting above it. The miniboss drops Bountiful Harvest.
Life Diverted
From Shamble Street, stay on the main route until it passes through a building. A chest containing Life Diverted stands directly along the exit path.
Bottomless Well
At Tribunal Square, progress to the top floor of the house where weak points can be shot through a window. After using that landmark, take the route around the opposite side of the building and continue into the courtyard. Defeat the miniboss near the chest to receive Bottomless Well.
Sixth Sense
Continue through Tribunal Square until you reach the burrow near the river. Climb the boxes beside it and follow the elevated route around the building. The chest at the end contains Sixth Sense.
Silent Squeak
From Shamble Street, follow the main path until you grapple across a courtyard into a room with stairs descending from it. Leave that room, climb to the rooftop, and interact with the burrow. The children give you Silent Squeak.
The Outskirts Amber locations
Dominatus
From Broken Bridge, continue to the combat area containing ground-level enemies, wall jumps, and grapple points. Before taking the wall-jump route, climb the nearby platforms to reach the chest holding Dominatus.
Butcher’s Carnage
At Harbour, progress The King of Smugglers until you reach its note. Butcher’s Carnage is in the chest positioned immediately beside that note.
Potent Concoction
At Island of Whispers, the Laudanum side quest can award Potent Concoction if you agree to help the children and poison the woman. Because this pickup depends on that quest decision, do not assume it will be available after choosing the other outcome.
Lunatic’s Grasp
From Market Square, follow the route through the barn until the next grapple point is visible. Circle around the barn into the side area, then jump across the boats to enter the building. The chest inside contains Lunatic’s Grasp.
Surplus
At Island of Whispers, advance until you reach the long road guarded by two tall enemies. Search beside the road roughly halfway through this encounter area. The chest there contains Surplus.
Fortress Amber locations
Tomorrow’s Promise
From the Chapel Lantern, advance through the underground section to the sewer room reached after a pole jump. Enter the side doorway and descend to the foot of the stairs. Find the ladder leading into a long room with a switch-operated door at the far end. The Tomorrow’s Promise chest is inside that long room.
Life Diverted
Reach the Traverse Lantern in the Fortress’s second courtyard, then return to the neighboring combat area. Enter the building containing gold vines and burn them. Defeat the enemy released from the building, then open the chest against the back wall for Life Diverted.
Potent Concoction
At Ramparts, climb the stairs beside the Lantern and look back toward the wall to find a shootable weak point. Destroy it to expose a ladder. Climb the ladder and follow the upper route until you reach the chest near another weak point. That chest contains Potent Concoction.
Fire Breathing
At the Main Gate entrance, defeat the cannon miniboss. Fire Breathing is awarded for winning that encounter.
Lucky Shot
From the Traverse Lantern in the second courtyard, return through the adjacent enemy area and climb the stairs to its upper level. Continue toward the Fortress entrance until you find a ledge that can be dropped from. The chest on the lower route contains Lucky Shot.
Indestructible Shell
Leave the Traverse Lantern along the path exposed to cannon fire. At the end of that path, enter the small side area and open the chest to collect Indestructible Shell.
Glass Soldier
From Courtyard, pass through the hallway beneath the hanging flag. Enter the large room beyond it and find the monster Eternal Guardsman at its end. Defeat the enemy to receive Glass Soldier.
