The Shrike's Anthem quest in Valor Mortis can be picked up at the Island of Whisper's Lantern in the Outskirts, by crossing over the sunken house by the lantern and interacting with a piece of paper on the ground. After doing so and kicking this off, you'll need to find four verses to the Shrike's song scattered about the chapter. Luckily, we've got every verse location for you below.
