Is there a trophy for Memory Flowers in Phantom Blade Zero?
Memory Flowers are Phantom Blade Zero’s single most important collectible: they are the only way to raise your maximum HP. A flower arrives either whole — one glowing blue pickup, usually worth +5% HP — or shattered into petals scattered across a region, where finishing the set grants a 5%, 7% or 10% permanent health increase depending on the flower. This page is the master index of every Memory Flower set, organized by region, with the quests that gate the tricky ones.

How this hub divides the work: this page tracks which flowers exist, where their sets live, and what they raise. For the quest-gated petal sets — where the flowers are rewards for finishing specific tales — we maintain dedicated walkthroughs with every petal position:
- Resonant Strings walkthrough — Crimson Forest
- Seven Stars Formation walkthrough — Pangzhen
- Justice Tarnished walkthrough — Mandate Encampment
- Lion Dance Hall Depths walkthrough — Pangzhen
- Whiteshadow walkthrough — the frozen lake of Meigu Lake
How Memory Flowers Work
Two collection styles share one rule set. Whole flowers — like the one Lady Inanis leaves at the Crimson Forest entrance — are collected in a single press of E and grant their HP immediately. Petal sets scatter a flower’s pieces across an area; the map’s completion menu tracks the set under Memory Flower, and the bonus lands only when the last petal is picked up. Petal counts vary by flower (commonly two to six), and chapters can be collected in any order — the Roman numeral in a petal’s title is its story chapter, not a pickup sequence.
One upgrade path note: unlike Blackstone Fragments or Sha-Chi Amber, which always take four pieces for their bonus, Memory Flowers have no fixed petal count — so always check the total on the set’s first petal before assuming a flower is finished.
Every Memory Flower Set by Region
| Region | Sets & notes | Detailed guide |
|---|---|---|
| Crimson Forest | 16 flowers. Includes Inanis’ +10% six-petal set, On Perfect Transcension (+7%), and the quest-tied Resonant Strings set | Crimson Forest walkthrough · Resonant Strings |
| Village of Lu | 15 flowers. Includes Firefly’s Memory Flower, which starts Secrets at the Heart of the Lake and the road to the true ending | Village of Lu walkthrough |
| Pangzhen | Includes the Lion Dance Grandmaster set (six petals, +10%) behind bramble barriers needing Flaming Mane, and the Seven Stars Formation set | Lion Dance Hall Depths · Seven Stars Formation |
| Weeping Creek Valley | Leng Tu’s +10% six-petal set spans regions; its petal sits on the balcony of Crimson Manor | Crimson Manor walkthrough |
| Mandate Encampment | Memory Flower of Mandate Leaders, gated by The Undying Heroic Spirit multi-region quest; the Justice Tarnished set | Justice Tarnished |
| Meigu Lake | Sets in both the Waking World and the Discordance realm — the realm opens after all four Acolyte Masks shatter the Four Guardians’ Mirror barrier | Meigu Lake walkthrough · Whiteshadow |
Community mapping of the full per-region counts beyond Crimson Forest and the Village of Lu is in progress; the table will be filled in as totals are confirmed rather than estimated.
The Quest-Gated Flowers
A few sets refuse to spawn until their tale advances. The important ones, in rough story order:
- Resonant Strings — Crimson Forest; the flowers are the quest’s objective, so the set completes as you follow the tale.
- Lion Dance Grandmaster — Pangzhen; several petals hide behind brambles that only the Flaming Mane Phantom Edge burns away, so the set finishes late even if you find the early petals early.
- Memory Flower of Mandate Leaders — a multi-region quest under The Undying Heroic Spirit; note that in some playthroughs one of the Mandate Encampment soldiers fails to drop a petal, a bug reported by multiple guides.
- Firefly’s Memory Flower — the Village of Lu set that matters most: collecting its petal opens Secrets at the Heart of the Lake, the questline that gates two of the game’s endings. Our true ending guide lays out why this flower is never optional.
Collection Route: What to Grab as You Play
You never need to farm flowers — the game feeds you most of them — but a few habits make the endgame checklist painless. Whole flowers glow blue and hum softly; if a side path dead-ends, a flower is the usual reward for checking it. Petals show on the map only loosely, so trust the completion menu: open it whenever a region’s Bell network is done, note which flower is missing petals, and sweep that area’s side rooms rather than re-walking the main road.
Gates to plan around: the Thieves’ Camp Dungeon flower in Crimson Forest needs the Greatshield from the Village of Lu’s Gatekeeper to pass its arrow trap; Pangzhen’s bramble-blocked Lion Dance petals need the Flaming Mane; and every Discordance set needs all four Acolyte Masks first. None of these are missable, but all of them are easier on a return visit than on your first pass — the combat system guide explains why coming back overleveled is the intended rhythm.
The Trophy: Listen to Every Flower
The collection is recognized at ten: the bronze trophy Listen to Every Flower unlocks once you collect 10 Memory Flowers. It is deliberately low-friction — a thorough natural clear of Crimson Forest and the Village of Lu nets most players the trophy with zero backtracking. The full trophy list, including the collectibles that do demand completionism, lives in our trophy guide.
If you are hunting 100% map completion instead, remember that flowers share the completion menu with Bells, Sha-Chi Amber and Blackstone Fragments — a region at 100% means every petal, not just the whole flowers on the main road.
FAQ
What do Memory Flowers do in Phantom Blade Zero?
They are the game’s only permanent max-HP upgrades. Flowers come either whole (one pickup, usually +5% HP) or as a petal set — collecting every petal of a set completes the flower and grants a 5%, 7% or 10% HP increase, depending on the set. Regional progress is tracked under Memory Flower in each map’s completion menu.
How many Memory Flowers are there in Phantom Blade Zero?
The exact game-wide total is still being mapped by the community. Documented regional counts include 16 flowers in Crimson Forest and 15 in the Village of Lu; later regions such as Meigu Lake and the Discordance realm add multiple petal sets each. This page tracks the full set list as mapping completes.
Which Memory Flowers are tied to quests?
Several sets are quest-gated: Resonant Strings (Crimson Forest), the Seven Stars Formation set (Pangzhen), Justice Tarnished (Mandate Encampment), the Lion Dance Grandmaster set (Pangzhen), and Firefly’s Memory Flower, which starts Secrets at the Heart of the Lake. Each has a dedicated walkthrough page linked in the table above.
Is there a trophy for Memory Flowers in Phantom Blade Zero?
Yes — the bronze trophy Listen to Every Flower unlocks when you collect 10 Memory Flowers. It is an intentionally low bar: a thorough natural clear of Crimson Forest and the Village of Lu should complete most or all of it without dedicated farming.
