What Does the Pangzhen Map Cover?
Pangzhen is Phantom Blade Zero’s largest and busiest region — a canal town of wine houses, stacked rooftops and cellar tunnels, home to more bells than any other zone and the hub from which the late game opens. Where our Pangzhen walkthrough moves you through the story and the Pangzhen bosses guide orders the fights, this page is the map index: every bell by district, the merchant and service NPCs, the quest givers, the key items, the collectible totals, and the tower on the coast.
One count note up front, because trackers disagree: the interactive map logs 27 bells in the walled city, Game8 lists 42 for the region by folding Mirage Estate’s bells into the same tracker, and Exputer counts 28 in town. We follow the interactive map’s 27 for the city proper and treat Mirage Estate as its own region, matching our walkthrough.
All Pangzhen Bells by District
| District | Bells | What is there |
|---|---|---|
| Entrance warren | Hidden Storehouse, Abandoned Wine Cellar, South Gate Bridge | You surface from the Smuggler’s Tunnel; rooftop crossing teaches the city’s vertical layout |
| Commercial core | Jingyang Hall, South Town Pond, Marketplace, Pavilion of Knowledge Crossroads, Huang Manor Crossroads, Myst’s Tavern, Well of Wei Sanchuan | Myst’s Tavern is the social hub: Soul Tempering unlock, the Meigu boat conversation, Shopkeeper Niu’s Huang Manor Key |
| Backstreets | Backstreet Archway, Backstreet Rest, Narrow Alley Residence 2nd Floor, Zhang’s Hideout, Pond of Fading Song, Green Serpent House, Pangzhen Slums, Old Man Gen’s House | Quick Hand Zhang’s shop; the Green Serpent House hides the Serpent Door to Mirage Estate and the medicine-upgrade healer |
| Residential south | Yu’er’s House | The Heart’s Trail scene with Yu’er’s father — bring the white Flesh Lily to save him |
| Lion Dance quarter | Ancestral Shrine Square, Lion Dance Hall, Lion Dance Hall Depths, The Sealed Lion, Back Hill Pavilion | Flame’s arena and the Heavy Lion Hall Gate Key chain |
| Docks & coast | Mandate Lodgings, Dockside Warehouse, Pangzhen Docks | Soulclaimer’s courtyard; the Sha-Chi boat to Meigu Lake |
| Tower | Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower Furnace | The optional Zhu Yuan return duel — see below |
Merchants and Service NPCs on the Map
- Quick Hand Zhang — trades from Zhang’s Hideout; the interactive map lists him as the city’s merchant. His Quick Hand’s Request hunt pays the Goldblaze Phantom Edge here; turn-ins are mapped in our Quick Hand Zhang treasures guide.
- Myst — her underground tavern at Huang Manor Crossroads unlocks Soul Tempering; tempering materials themselves are found in the world, not bought.
- Xie Xiaorong, the apprentice healer — at the Green Serpent House on the west side, handles medicine upgrades (per Exputer and PC Gamer’s service NPC lists). Do not confuse her with Yu’er, the healer whose house and father anchor the residential south.
Quest NPCs by District
The map’s character layer and Game8 agree on the quest-facing NPCs: Myst (Soul Tempering and several tavern tales), Shopkeeper Niu (hands over the Huang Manor Key), Old Man Gen (the Journey Home chain — report before leaving for good), Lan Shaodi (Young Master Lan; his manor arc and the Lan Manor Key are covered in our Lan Manor guide), the Leading Opera Actress at Jingyang Hall, and Yu’er’s father at Yu’er’s House. Two cutoffs before you treat the map as cleared: finish Old Man Gen’s report and Lan Shaodi’s conversation before Pangzhen’s deep story beats, and resolve Yu’er’s storyline — fixed-fate consequences on our Can You Save Yu’er page — before the story moves on.
The Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower
The tower sits on the coast east of the docks, between the city and Meigu Lake, with its own Furnace Bell. Inside waits Zhu Yuan, the Searing Blade — a hidden Perfect Transcensions return duel that trackers file under either region (Rock Paper Shotgun counts him as Pangzhen boss 38; Game8 files the arena under Meigu Lake). Bait the keg enemy to clear the side barrier, then fight in the furnace hall for the Scorching Flames tempering material. He and Bi Feng are both required for the true ending. Full fight breakdown: Zhu Yuan boss guide.
Key Items the Map Hides
| Key item | Where | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| Huang Manor Key | Shopkeeper Niu at Myst’s Tavern | Huang Manor courtyard |
| Lan Manor Key | Young Master Lan storyline | Lan Manor |
| Old Man Gen’s Brass Key | Journey Home chain | Gen’s hideout storeroom |
| Heavy Lion Hall Gate Key | Lion Dance quarter | Lion Dance Hall Depths |
| Backstreet Cellar Crank | Pot room off the backstreet rooftops | Backstreet cellar |
| Mandate Encampment Gate Key | On a corpse below Gu Wanyue’s well | The locked gate in the eastern Village of Lu |
Blaze’s perfect transcensions also award the Soulrend Storeroom Key. The full key-item roster across all regions is indexed in the all keys guide.
Collectible Totals and Exits
The interactive map’s layer counts for the city: 22 chests, 8 Amber Fragments, 8 Black Stone Fragments, 19 Memory Flowers, 1 Banyan Tree, 1 Scarecrow, 27 books, 21 characters and 12 boss encounters. Pillar hunters: the fifth Long Pillar of Bloodline Awakening sits in Mirage Estate — rewards chain at the Long Pillar locations index. Three exits leave the map — the docks (Sha-Chi boat to Meigu Lake), the Green Serpent House Serpent Door (needs Tongue, Fang and Eye; the true-ending point of no return), and the northern road toward the late game.
FAQ
How many bells are on the Pangzhen map in Phantom Blade Zero?
27 in the walled city itself, per the interactive map’s bell layer. Game8’s tracker lists 42 for the region because it folds in Mirage Estate’s own bells on the same canvas; Exputer counts 28 in the town. The widely cited figure for the city proper is 27.
Where is the merchant on the Pangzhen map?
Quick Hand Zhang trades from Zhang’s Hideout in the backstreets — the interactive map lists him as the city’s merchant, and his Quick Hand’s Request treasure quest pays out the Goldblaze Phantom Edge. Myst’s underground tavern anchors the mid-city for Soul Tempering, and the Green Serpent House on the west side handles medicine upgrades.
What is the tower on the Pangzhen map?
The Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower stands on the coast between the city and Meigu Lake, with its own Furnace Bell. The hidden return duel with Zhu Yuan, the Searing Blade waits in its furnace hall, behind a keg-cleared barrier, and drops the Scorching Flames tempering material.
Where is Yu’er’s House on the Pangzhen map?
In the residential south of the city, past the backstreets. The Heart’s Trail main quest leads you there, and it holds the fixed-fate scene with Yu’er’s sick father — bring the white Flesh Lily from her questline to save him and earn the Blessed Jade Pendant.
