Valor Mortis Bosses in Order

The quick answer

Valor Mortis has 10 main bosses in a fixed critical-path order, from General Lothaire to Entity, Voice of the Void. This table maps every encounter to its chapter and the weapon, weak point, or positional answer that matters most.

Current through the public build after the October 28, 2026 Halloween Update. The boss count follows the reviewed critical-path roadmap.

All 10 bosses in order

Valor Mortis has 10 main bosses, all on the critical path. PowerPyx states there are no optional bosses or optional side areas. General Lothaire is the only name that appears twice because the Chapter 1 encounter is a scripted loss before the real Chapter 2 fight.

# Boss Chapter Practical focus
1 General Lothaire, the Eagle-Bearer 1 and 2 Parry the flag chains, shoot leg/chest weak points, use Fire, then clear phase-two adds
2 The Iron Marshall 3 Cannon-swinging amalgamation; reaching its back is the major vulnerability
3 Sphinx, Devourer of the Unworthy 4 Fast golden-armoured feline; the Blunderbuss is especially effective
4 Slaughtermill 5 Corrupted windmill using tendrils and spikes
5 Anna, the Bride Drowned in Tears 6 Opens the chapter; teleports through water
6 High Justicar Aurelius, Last of the Faithful 7 Clawed Guardsman blocking a bridge at the chapter start
7 Experiment 83 7 Limb amalgam beneath the lighthouse; closes the chapter
8 The Orphan 8 Straitjacketed patient in a toxic arena; strong Blunderbuss target
9 Captain Raphael of the Nephtis Superioris 9 Sword duelist who punishes careless Transmutation use
10 Entity, Voice of the Void 11 Final Plague manifestation that copies William

How to use this order

Treat boss order as a route check, not a universal difficulty ranking. Weak-point access and elemental responses matter more than carrying one weapon through every encounter:

  • Lothaire rewards parry pressure, Fire, and precise pistol shots.
  • The Iron Marshall gives you a clear reason to move around the arena instead of standing in front.
  • Sphinx and The Orphan are the strongest cases for bringing the Blunderbuss.
  • Captain Raphael punishes long Transmutation commitments, so keep an answer available when he closes distance.
  • Entity changes the firearm equation by deflecting shots while protected, which pushes the fight toward melee, parry, dodge, and add control.

The dedicated first boss guide covers Lothaire’s phase changes in detail. For the final encounter and post-credits state, see the ending guide.

What counts as a boss?

This list follows the 10 critical-path encounters recognized by the published boss and trophy roadmaps. Mini-bosses such as the Risen Soldier during An Unheard Farewell and the firing-squad encounter during The Emissary are quest obstacles, not additional main bosses. Remnant variants used for specific trophies also sit outside the 10-boss count.
