Valor Mortis: The Orphan Boss Guide
The Orphan is identified in the linked evidence. These are attributed encounter notes and preparation advice, not a claim that this site played the fight.
Identity and source
Fextralife identifies The Orphan at the University and describes a sword-based opening followed by a more aggressive form. Those are Reported observations; no health threshold is supplied.
Source: The Orphan coverage.
Reported encounter notes
Reported. The source distinguishes early sword defense from later evasion and reports a shootable charged projectile. Verify the charged target visually rather than spending shots on an unseen assumption.
Preparation
Inference. After a transition, observe the new sequence before resuming the old punish rhythm. An early successful parry does not prove that the next form is equally parryable.
Check combat commitment and weapon defenses before choosing your kit.
Achievement and limits
Reported. The older trophy guide associates this encounter with Coup de Grâce. Steam does not publicly expose all hidden boss conditions.
No exact reward, attack duration, elemental multiplier or phase-health threshold is independently verified here.
