How to track down every Anubis Figurine Part in The Deserter

If you are working through the Vale of Wrath chapter in Valor Mortis, you have likely stumbled upon ‘The Deserter’ quest. According to a guide published by GamesRadar+, this side quest requires you to track down three specific Anubis Figurine Parts hidden inside beehives located throughout the area.

How to complete The Deserter

To begin, ensure you have reached the ‘Under the Bridge’ lantern. From the shack where you pick up the quest note, continue forward and stay straight at the fork. You will eventually encounter a grapple point leading to a tough enemy guarding a hut. Once you defeat them, loot the ‘Beekeeper’s Hut Key’ and unlock the door behind them.

Inside, read the paper on the desk, then return outside. Per the GamesRadar+ walkthrough, avoid interacting with the marked hives; you only need the one furthest from the hut to claim your first Anubis Figurine Part.

To find the remaining two parts:

• Second Part: Head down the main path until you spot a carriage with dead horses near a tall wooden encampment. Look to your right to find the beehives and interact with the one on the right side.
• Third Part: Pass through the encampment and cross the long bridge. Use Statis Transmutation on the gear to open the gate. Once through, look to your right for an open door. Enter the building and locate the fourth beehive, which is slightly hidden against the side of the house. Interact with this final hive to complete the figurine.

Why it matters

Completing side quests like The Deserter is a key step in fully clearing the Vale of Wrath chapter. Because these parts are tucked away in specific hives—some of which are deliberately obscured from view—it is easy to miss progress toward finishing these optional adventures.

For players working through the game, this quest is a good reminder to keep a sharp eye on your surroundings, as many rewards in Valor Mortis are hidden behind environmental puzzles rather than just lying in plain sight. As you wrap up this quest, stay alert for other optional content in the nearby area, including the ‘In the Name of Art’ quest mentioned by GamesRadar+.
