“Monster Hunt” is a side quest in Valor Mortis that has you tracking down 17 Monster Drawings hidden around the City of Orphans region. Each drawing shows one of the creatures you face on your journey, from the Lancer to General Lothaire, and the quest starts the moment you interact with the first one you come across.
Find all 17 to complete the quest. You’ll be rewarded with a Quintessential Transmutation Material and a Tiny Whisker Gift, and unlock “The Book of Beasts” Trophy/Achievement.
