Valor Mortis: Lullaby Quest Walkthrough (Weathered Key and Toy Location)

Lullaby is a short side quest in Chapter 3 of Valor Mortis, found in Fallen Village and finishable inside that same chapter. It opens with the cries of an infant coming from an empty crib, and you close it by tracking down a hidden Toy and returning it. Finishing the quest hands William the Tomorrow’s Promise amber and 1,500 currency.

Quick answer: From the Marketplace lantern, enter the house to the left to start the quest, grab the Weathered Key from the garden behind it, cross the bridge to the locked hut for the Toy, then place the Toy in the crib.

Start the Lullaby quest at the Marketplace lantern

Rest at the Marketplace lantern in Fallen Village to set your starting point. Head down the road from the checkpoint toward the cluster of wooden buildings.

Turn left into the abandoned house just off the path. Inside you will find a bloodied crib and hear a baby crying with no child present.

Walk into the back room to officially trigger the quest. There is a Flaming Whetstone on the floor here worth grabbing before you leave.

Weathered Key location in the garden

The key sits in the garden directly behind the crib house. Exit through the rear doorway into the muddy ground, where a few infected villagers are guarding the pickup. One enemy tends to ambush from behind, so clear the area before looting.

Pick up the Weathered Key from the glowing marker in the corner. It unlocks the locked hut across the bridge.

Find the Toy across the bridge

Head back out the front of the crib house and return toward the lantern. Pass through the wrecked red carriage where the Blunderbuss is found, then take the path on the right.

Follow the village road downhill, dealing with or slipping past the villagers along the way, until you reach the long wooden footbridge over the water. Cross it to reach the lone hut on the far side.

Use the Weathered Key on the locked door. A prompt confirms the door was opened with the Weathered Key. Step inside and collect the Toy from the back of the hut.

Unlocking the Hut & Taking the Toy — The Toy sits inside the hut the Weathered Key unlocks; grabbing it updates the quest. Shown at 01:45 in Game Guides Channel’s video. Image: One More Level

Place the Toy to complete the quest

Retrace your route over the bridge, back through the carriage, and into the original crib house. Fast travel from the Marketplace lantern also works if you want to skip the return trip.

At the crib, interact to set down the Toy. The crying ends, and a QUEST COMPLETE notice appears; you also receive the Tomorrow’s Promise amber and 1,500 currency. The notice confirms that the quest is finished.

Completing the Quest — Placing the Toy silences the spirit and triggers the quest-complete screen with your reward. Shown at 02:29 in Game Guides Channel’s video. Image: One More Level

Tomorrow’s Promise changes the Ferrofluid Flask so it restores health gradually rather than all at once. Drinking a second flask before the effect expires won’t extend its duration; instead, the timer starts over at its full length. This amber can also be found elsewhere in the game, and picking up a duplicate upgrades it to the next tier.

Flaming Whetstone picked up in the crib house

The item on the back room floor applies a fiery effect to your weapon, setting foes alight when you land hits for a limited number of attacks. Check its stats before choosing to use it immediately or keep it for a more difficult battle.

You can also find Flaming Whetstones lying around Fallen Village, the Fortress, and the Outskirts, so there is no need to hoard the single pickup from the quest house.

Lullaby is not required for the trophy or achievement list, but the Tomorrow’s Promise amber and the extra currency make the short detour worthwhile while you are passing through Fallen Village.
