FAQ

How many Phantom Edges are in Phantom Blade Zero?

25 at launch. S-GAME promised more than twenty unique Phantom Edges, and launch guides confirm exactly 25 collectible Edges — mostly boss drops, plus a handful of side-quest rewards.

What is the best Phantom Edge in Phantom Blade Zero?

For raw value, the Hunter's Chain Sickle: its grapple rewrites traversal, and its Gleaming Hook temper anchors the endgame Bleed build. The Dread Axe and Bashpole follow for the paths they open.

Do Phantom Edges use a resource?

Yes — every activation spends Sha-Chi, refilled at Bells, and community testing confirms Edge swings grant super armor while active.

What Are Phantom Edges in Phantom Blade Zero?

Phantom Edges are the game’s secondary weapon class — special tools mapped to R2 alongside your primary blades. S-GAME promised “more than twenty unique Phantom Edges” before launch; the finished game delivers exactly 25. Some are pure damage, some apply status like Poison or Wet, and several double as keys that open otherwise unreachable paths.

Where a primary weapon like the Jagged Steel defines your core strings, an Edge adds a specialist layer on top — a tool woven into the combat system, not a sword replacement.

How Does Equipping Phantom Edges Work?

You carry two primary weapons and two Phantom Edges at once, switching freely mid-fight. Rules worth internalizing:

Sha-Chi cost. Every activation spends Sha-Chi; run dry and the tool goes quiet until you refill at a Bell.
Super armor. Edge swings grant super armor while active — you can absorb a light hit to force an activation through.
Soul Tempering. Edges can be Soul Tempered with hidden materials and Remnant Dust to unlock a second ability — the Hunter’s Chain Sickle tempering into Gleaming Hook is the flagship example.
Region tracker. The in-game tracker lists weapons and Edges per region — check it before assuming you missed something.

Which Phantom Edges Are Found in Weeping Creek Valley?

Three of the 25 wait in the opening region:

Phantom Edge	How to Get	Effect
Feather Bow	Complete the Purge the Sect quest	Charged shots hit objects otherwise out of reach
Dread Axe	Defeat Peng Meng, the Axemaster	Breaks the iron chains blocking paths
Hunter’s Chain Sickle	Defeat The Hunt, Sixfold Scythe	Grapple traversal plus a damaging combo

The Chain Sickle alone justifies sweeping this region clean — see The Hunt. The Dread Axe is second priority: later shortcuts stay chained shut without it.

Which Phantom Edges Are Found in Crimson Forest?

Two more sit in the second region:

Phantom Edge	How to Get	Effect
Flying Dagger	Complete Quick Hand’s Request, then talk to Quick Hand Zhang	Inflicts Poison; shoots down hanging objects
Iron Gauntlets	Defeat Stone Hand Iron Fever	Triggers an 8-second damage boost

The Flying Dagger quest ties into the Quick Hand Zhang treasures guide. The gauntlets are the simplest damage tool available — press R2, hit harder.

Which Phantom Edges Are Found in the Village of Lu?

The Village of Lu holds four Edges:

Phantom Edge	How to Get	Effect
Bastion	Defeat Zhuo Bi, the Gatekeeper	Shield absorbs damage, then returns it as a shockwave
Kuye Temple Prayer Beads	Defeat Master Bi Hai of Kuye Temple	Summons three companions for 15 seconds
Heartrend Pipa	Defeat Yuzan, No. 3 Musician Puppet	Dual sonic blades — red amplify your damage, blue drain enemy Sha-Chi
Puppeteer’s Bell	Collect every Memory Flower, then defeat Dusk, the Puppeteer	Summons two shielded puppets for 15 seconds

The Puppeteer’s Bell is easiest to miss: the full Memory Flower set is required before Dusk’s hidden area opens.

Which Phantom Edges Are Found in Pangzhen?

Pangzhen is the richest region, with eight Edges:

Phantom Edge	How to Get	Effect
Fire Meteor	Defeat Blaze, Shadow Warden Captain	Bonus damage while reducing enemy attack
Wolfjaw	Defeat Wu Xuan, the Fallen General	Drains life from enemies and restores your HP
You Loong’s Deluge	Defeat You Loong, Leader of the Blackwater Crew	Inflicts Wet, priming Frost/Lightning combos; douses ground fires
Flaming Mane	Defeat Flame, the Mask-Bound Lion Dance Grandmaster, then speak with Lei Dang at Jingyang Hall	Breathes a cone of fire
Thunder Spear	Defeat Chang Hong, the Thunder Spear	Inflicts paralysis
Goldblaze	Complete Quick Hand’s Request in Pangzhen	Extra damage while you are at full HP
Tiger Cannon	Defeat Lei Dang, the Tiger Cannon, at the Mirage Estate	Destroys frozen enemies and weak stone walls
Illusory Pipa	Complete the Illusory Pipa quest	Red sonic blades that turn enemies against their own allies

Wolfjaw, You Loong’s Deluge, and Thunder Spear form a self-contained Wet-plus-paralysis engine. The Illusory Pipa also feeds a mist-gated questline — see the Six Paths Warrant walkthrough.

Which Phantom Edges Come From the Late-Game Regions?

The remaining eight spread across the Mandate Encampment, Meigu Lake, and the Mountain of Imprisonment:

Phantom Edge	How to Get	Effect
Bashpole	Defeat Wan Jun, the Coppermaul, in the Mandate Encampment	Smashes weakened wooden planks
Swordman’s Summon	Defeat the Chief Disciple of the Seven-Stars Formation (Mandate Encampment)	Summons two companions for 15 seconds
Loong Trident	Defeat You Loong, the Frenzied Blackwater Crew Leader, at Meigu Lake	Thrown trident inflicts Wet
One-Eyed Bow	Defeat the One-Eyed Archer at Meigu Lake	Extra damage while you are at full HP
War Wagon	Complete every Old Man Gen quest at Meigu Lake	Ram into enemies with a war wagon
Flying Guillotine	Defeat Huangxing, the Kunlun Renegade, at the Mountain of Imprisonment	Ranged executions
Inanis’ Radiant Fan	Defeat Huangxing, then speak to Inanis	8-second field restoring HP and Sha-Chi
Ink Cut	Complete the Hero’s Lament quest	Ending the combo after the second hit leaves a lingering spinning blade

Do not sleep on Inanis’ Radiant Fan: a field restoring HP and Sha-Chi pays for its own activations in long boss attempts.

Which Phantom Edges Should You Prioritize?

The community priority order for a first playthrough:

Hunter’s Chain Sickle — traversal value compounds across all eight regions; the beginner guide routes you to it early.
Dread Axe — iron chains gate shortcuts and loot.
Feather Bow — out-of-reach objects appear in every region.
Bashpole — the late-game equivalent for weakened plank floors.
Your build’s keystone — Bleed players chase the Gleaming Hook temper via the Alloyed Scythe Blade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are any Phantom Edges missable? None confirmed at launch. Quest Edges like the War Wagon need their full chains, so clear Old Man Gen and Quick Hand Zhang content before points of no return.

Can you upgrade Phantom Edges? Yes — Edges share the weapon upgrade track, and select ones accept Soul Tempering for a second ability.

Do Phantom Edges work on every enemy? Status Edges respect the same immunity rules as weapons — Puppets, Golden Bodies, and Phantom Bodies shrug off Bleed. Plan around the boss, not the tool.
