After unlocking more of Ossex, you can obtain the Valor Medallion through a short NPC quest that reunites two characters in Mina the Hollower. Despite being available fairly early, many players consider it one of the strongest utility trinkets because it removes a major drawback of the Plasma system and makes healing much safer during combat.

Where to find the Valor Medallion
The Valor Medallion is located in Ossex and is awarded after helping Furl and Roma. The quest takes place around the High Street area and revolves around reconnecting the pair.
How to unlock the Valor Medallion
You will encounter a masked man with an unusually long nose in Ossex. Strike him to trigger his interaction and speak with him. He reveals his interest in the woman sitting nearby on a bench.
Hit him again to extend his nose, which creates a temporary bridge. Cross it to reach a flower pot on an otherwise inaccessible ledge. Carry the pot back and give it to him.
Afterward, move him to the opposite side near the crying woman and interact with him once more. Completing this romantic side story rewards you with the Valor Medallion Trinket.
Valor Medallion effects explained
The Valor Medallion grants two useful bonuses:
| Effect | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Move while healing | Makes it easier to avoid enemy attacks during the healing animation |
| No Plasma lost when struck | Preserves stored Plasma even after taking damage |
Normally, taking damage can cause you to lose banked Plasma. With the Valor Medallion equipped, that penalty is removed entirely, allowing you to maintain larger Plasma reserves throughout long fights.
Why the Valor Medallion is so useful
The ability to keep Plasma after being hit is the real strength of this trinket. Many powerful builds rely on maintaining Plasma reserves, and losing them can significantly reduce your effectiveness.
Because the trinket only costs one slot, it fits comfortably into most loadouts without requiring major sacrifices. The movement granted during healing is also surprisingly valuable against bosses and aggressive enemies where standing still often results in taking another hit.
Community discussions have highlighted powerful combinations involving Valor Medallion and Plasma-related trinkets, allowing players to maintain offensive bonuses and healing resources much more consistently.

Final thoughts on the Valor Medallion
The Valor Medallion is one of the best early-to-mid game utility trinkets in Mina the Hollower. Its low slot cost, improved healing safety, and complete Plasma-loss protection make it valuable for almost any build. If you’re exploring Ossex, completing the Furl and Roma quest should be a priority, as the reward remains useful even into the late game.
