Phantom Blade Zero 100% Completion Checklist: Every Set, Count & Cleanup

There is no single verified in-game completion percentage in the sources. For this page, 100% means every documented set is closed, every named Tale and Mystery is finished, the full achievement list is earned, and all four endings have been seen. The Platinum does not require all four endings, and it does not require a second playthrough — but a true 100% file does require planning around the two hard gates.

The completion targets

Category	Target	Confidence	Missable?
Weapons	30 forms — 25 base primaries + 5 Soul-Tempered forms	High	Wild Oriole Sword and Fiend Saws are hard missable
Phantom Edges	24 documented; official line says 25; a Chinese database says 26	Medium	Several quest-linked
Accessories	66 across three categories	Medium	Quest accessories can close
Medicines	5 recipes, each Lv1–7	High	No
Abilities	15 documented nodes — 3 thirty-level ladders + 12 one-offs	High	No
Tales	33 working number; PowerPyx counts 30	Medium	~a third close at gates
Mysteries	11; first 10 before Mirage	High	Before the Green Serpent door
Memory Flowers	37 flowers / 129 petals; Game8 says 130	Medium	No permanent lockout
Acolyte Masks	4	High	Before the mirror
Ribbons	5	High	Before Mu Xiaokui
Long Pillars	5	High	4 before the door, 5th in Mirage
Keys / cranks	29 documented; 26 confident; 24 named	Medium	Quest keys close
Lost Treasures	16 green-glowing chests	High	Before The Last Chance
Achievements	36 PS5 / 66 Steam	High	Seven flagged missable
Endings	4 documented	Medium-High	Mutually exclusive

Before you start

Play on Wayfarer, Pathbreaker, or the next difficulty up. No trophy requires anything above the first three, and 66 Days is not required.
Manual-save at the Green Serpent House door and again at The Last Chance. Both are hard points of no return.
Spare Red at the Dovecote. Killing her ends Daughter of the Dark Sect and costs the Twin Fish Pendant, Red’s Memory Flower, and the Twin Heroes’ +5% max HP bonus.
Expect 30–40 hours for the Platinum on a guided run. A full four-ending file takes longer.

Weapons and Phantom Edges

The clean weapon count is 30 forms: 12 one-handed, 9 dual-wield, 9 two-handed, of which 5 are Soul-Tempered upgrades of base weapons. The base drops are 25.

Accessories: all 66

Accessories come in three categories, with 2 default slots growing to 6 through Boundless Capacity investment, and a maximum of 3 equipped per category. Jewel in the Village of Lu unlocks polish at any Bell; polish is irreversible, so do not spend it until your final build is settled.

Collect all 66 accessories
Unlock the full 6 accessory slots
Claim Boulderguard before Bai Chilian (Petrified Mandate Disciple + grave near The Axemaster’s Holding Cell)
Claim the Twin Fish Pendant by sparing Red
Claim Silent Wrap (Honor Among Thieves), Calming Gourd (A Healer’s Mercy), and Medicine Case (Apprentice Healer)
Cross-check every Tale reward against the 66-item list
Do not polish a placeholder accessory

Medicines

Five recipes, each upgraded Lv1–7 with Apprentice / Skilled / Master Healer’s Memory plus Dust. Xie Xiaorong at the Green Serpent House in Pangzhen unlocks the upgrade menu; after that, any Bell can upgrade.

Healing Gourd to Lv7 — 40% HP base, 50% plus a low-HP bonus at max; about 27,000 Dust total
Merciful Dew — 60% HP over 10 seconds
Kuye Dew — damage reduction plus healing over time
Focus Pill — Sha-Chi cost reduction plus healing
Green Serpent Brew — cleanse and status resistance
Stock Healer’s Memories before the final ascent

Abilities

The research documents 15 nodes: three thirty-level ladders and twelve one-off unlocks. Resetting at a Bell refunds Dust, so experimentation is cheap.

Tales: 33 working entries

PowerPyx counts 30 side Tales; KeenGamer, TechWiser, and the PBZ Wiki use 33. This checklist follows the 33-entry log. The three low-confidence start locations are A Dream of Motherhood, Dahuang, and Kin Against Kin — sweep their regions before the boss gate rather than trusting a marker.

Weeping Creek Valley (7): Flesh Lily, Four Fierce Axes, Purge the Sect, Festering Secret, Apprentice Healer, A Severed Mindseal, Triple Threat
Crimson Forest / Outpost (6): Honor Among Thieves, A Healer’s Mercy, Secrets of the Baishan Sect, Leave None Alive, Use It Against Them, Heart of the Fist
Village of Lu (6): The Journey Home, Young Master Lan, A Puppet’s Wooden Heart, A Dream of Motherhood, Dahuang, Cui
Pangzhen (8): Kin Against Kin, The Sword and the Way, The Undying Heroic Spirit, The Star Performer, The Cube, Don’t Forget Me, A Mother’s Heart, A Brother Once More
Mandate Encampment (2): Xue, Admirer of Heroes; Daughter of the Dark Sect
Mountain of Imprisonment (4): The Broad Saber, Hero’s Lament, Ledger of Atonement, Bai Xue

The region-by-region walkthrough is in all 33 Tales and side quests. The deadliest cluster is Crimson before Bai Chilian; the full deadline order is in the chapter transition checklist.

Mysteries: 11

The first ten must be finished before the Green Serpent House door. Bloodline Awakening completes after the fifth Long Pillar.

Memory Flowers: 37 flowers, 129 petals

Completing a set permanently raises max HP by +5% / +7% / +10%, scaling with petal count. Any 10 flowers unlocks Listen to Every Flower. No flower is permanently locked out — bells reopen after the credits — but the boss-linked sets are much more useful when collected early.

37 flowers / 129 petals (Game8 says 130; the 37th flower and exact Pangzhen total are unconfirmed)
10 flowers for Listen to Every Flower
All six Inanis flowers before Bai Chilian — the Chord drains her Sha-Chi in phase 2
All six Firefly flowers before Dusk — clears the Broken Puppet Pit poison mist
All six Yan’er flowers for Allure of Vanity and Yan Qiansui
Every set for the max-HP bonuses

The full set table is in the Memory Flowers guide and the collectibles checklist.

Masks, ribbons, and pillars

Acolyte Masks (4)

Yanru’s Blazing Mask — Lu, northern farming terraces near Engine Giant Remains
Leiting’s Thunder Mask — Pangzhen, southwest cliffside near Old Man Gen’s House; needs the Flaming Mane
Guhe’s Venom Mask — Meigu, East Dock island, far eastern end
Hansui’s Frost Mask — Crimson Manor depths; needs the Puppet’s Tongue

Mu Xiaokui’s ribbons (5)

Well of the Three Puppets — large tree before the wooden bridge, after Zhuo Bi
Temple of Blue Fireflies — branch/bush by the bell, left of the steps
Grand Covered Bridge — cross and look left; clear the red thread first
The Lady Grounds — above the bell that appears after Master Bi Yuan
Beneath the Well — beside the wooden bridge at the bell
Claim the secret Phase 3 and Fiend Saws by finishing all five before Mu Xiaokui

Long Pillars (5)

Weeping — Lóng Pillar Overlook, eastern locked cave; Rusted Loong Key
Crimson — Mirrorwood/Parting Mists, after Iron Fever, right fork and grapple
Meigu — Midlake Lóng Pillar Dock, sail east
Phantom Illusionist Ruins — Four Guardians’ Mirror; four masks plus Dread Axe
Mirage Estate — Covered Corridor, right, grapple
Complete Bloodline Awakening and temper Sanguine into Infernal Rouge

Keys and chests

Keys / cranks

Collect every named key in the keys and locked doors guide
29 documented / 26 confident / 24 distinct named — the remaining three are an acknowledged data gap
Do not look for a “Crimson Manor Key”; the Puppet’s Tongue is the manor key

Lost Treasures (16)

Crimson Forest (3): Bloodstained Seal, Sect Leader’s Snuff Bottle, Ancient Crossbow
Village of Lu (3): Wedding Candles, White Jade Twins, Unveiled Statue
Pangzhen (4): Jade Brush Rest, Tiger Paperweight, Ink Stick, Carved-Edge Inkstone
Meigu Lake (3): Blight Astrolabe, Sundial of Impermanence, Blue Blossom Compass
Mirage Estate (3): General’s Bronze Mirror, Gold-and-Silver Sachet, Golden Cloud-Moon Hairpin
Turn all 16 in to Quick Hand Zhang for Flying Dagger, Goldblaze, and Lost and Found

Other collectible questline

Heart of the Banyan — all five Human-Faced Banyan Tree challenges before the final ascent
Claim Banyan’s Heart and Even Trees Know Sorrow

Normal, non-glowing chests contain materials but their individual contents are unmapped. Do not count them as completion failures. The chests and hidden areas guide explains the green-glow rule.

Achievements and trophies

The list is 36 PS5 trophies and 66 Steam achievements — the same 36 plus 30 PC-only entries. The 66 documented entries group as 14 story, 18 bosses, 9 side quests, 8 gear/collecting, 16 combat, and 1 Platinum; the 30 PC-only achievements sit inside those same groups rather than forming a separate list.

All 14 story achievements
All 18 boss achievements
All 9 side-quest achievements
All 8 gear/collecting achievements
All 16 combat achievements
Defy Destiny — the Platinum
The seven flagged missables: With Heart and Blood, Forbidden Arts Beneath the Lake, The Last of Baishan, Together Till the End, A Wanderer’s Honor, Spectral Blade, The Healer’s Legacy

Endings: all four

The four-outcome model comes from KeenGamer and wikily; PowerPyx’s launch guide describes only two, and S-GAME pre-launch claimed eight. Treat the count as Medium-High.

Final Battle (true) — Violet Blossom and Bloodline Awakening
Long’s Roar — Violet Blossom only
Annihilation — Violet Blossom missing
Undying Grudge — 66 Days counter reaches zero

Only Final Battle awards With Heart and Blood. The other three award All Dreams Must End or nothing. No trophy requires all four endings, so this section is for a personal 100% file, not the Platinum.

Cleanup order

Finish the story once on Wayfarer or Normal, with manual saves at the Green Serpent door and The Last Chance.
Post-credits free roam: sweep remaining Memory Flowers, accessories, weapons, Edges, Banyan trees, Great Puppets, Shadow Wardens, and Misty Waters bosses. Regions reopen; quests and key items do not.
Turn in the 16 Lost Treasures if you have not already; the last three are in Mirage.
Temper every new weapon and Edge once, then push one weapon of each class to 30.
Achievement cleanup: the gear and combat groups are the long tail; the seven side-quest missables cannot be recovered in the same run.
Endings: reload the Last Chance save or start a new cycle for the outcomes you missed. New Cycle carries equipment, progression items, Ability Training, and Archives; it resets quests, maps, key items, and bells, and raises the weapon cap from 30 to 35.

Verified vs guide-derived

Claim	Status	Note
36 PS5 / 66 Steam split; Defy Destiny Platinum	High	PowerPyx plus store and wiki agreement
30 weapon forms; 25 base + 5 tempered	High/Medium	Counts vary by database; 30 is the clean official figure
66 accessories; 3 categories; 6 slots	Medium	Effects for all 66 are not reproduced
5 medicines, Lv1–7	High	Xie Xiaorong unlock is consistent
15 ability nodes	High	Core nodes cross-checked
33 Tales	Medium	PowerPyx says 30; three entries have low-confidence starts
11 Mysteries; 10 before Mirage	High	Consistent across guides
37 flowers / 129 petals	Medium	Game8 says 130; Pangzhen 33 vs 34
4 masks, 5 ribbons, 5 pillars	High	Locations and rewards agree
29 keys / 26 confident / 24 named	Medium	Three keys unmapped; no invented locations
16 Lost Treasures	High	Regional split and names agree
4 endings	Medium-High	2 vs 4 vs 8 sources conflict
Seven missable achievements	Medium	Contested by a quest-data read
Quick Hand, Zhu Yuan, Bi Feng as strict true-ending flags	Unconfirmed	Community checklist items; do them anyway

The honest summary: the counts and gates are solid, the exact totals for Memory Flowers and Phantom Edges are not, and three keys plus all normal chest contents are unmapped. If a guide presents a precise coordinate for one of those gaps, it is guessing.

Sources & confidence

Built from PowerPyx’s collectibles and trophy guides, KeenGamer’s 33-Tale walkthrough, Kungfupunk’s Lost Treasures data, wikily’s ending model, and the region walkthroughs, cross-checked against the research report dated November 4, 2026. The highest-confidence numbers are the trophy split, the 16 Lost Treasures, the four masks, the five ribbons, and the five Long Pillars; the weakest are the 30-vs-33 Tale count, the Memory Flower total, the Edge count, and the four-ending model.
