How to equip ambers in Valor Mortis

Slot these rare gems to gain passive bonuses and abilities.

💎 Ambers are precious gems you equip to gain passive bonuses and abilities.

💎 You can slot them at the level up menu with any lantern.

💎 You unlock a new slot every ten levels.

You'll most likely find your first amber in Valor Mortis before you're actually able to equip it. The game has a fairly simplistic skill tree that focuses around passive buffs, so the ambers you equip are more what add a bit of spice to your build.

You can equip an amber once you reach Level 5 by leveling up at any lantern. When you enter the level up menu, you'll notice that a slot with a + symbol has unlocked on the bottom layer — click on this and select the amber you want to equip, and don't worry, you can swap them at any time. After this, you'll unlock a new slots every ten levels at:

• Slot two: Level 15

• Slot three: Level 25

• Slot four: Level 35

• Slot five: Level 45

This means there are five amber slots overall. You'll generally get new ambers from quests and chests, and any amber you already own will level up to provide a more powerful passive bonus when you acquire a copy of it.
