Phantom Blade Zero has 66 achievements: 13 main story, 19 bosses, 9 side quests, 8 upgrades & collectibles, 16 weapon techniques, 1 completion. None depend on difficulty. The True Ending and side-quest achievements are missable if you pass the finale's point of no return.OfficialPress
100% roadmap
- Play the story with the quest log open. Finish every purple-icon tale (the True Ending ones) and the named side quests before Mirage Estate.Guide The True Ending checklist covers most quest achievements.
- Try every weapon's signature move once. Thirteen of the sixteen technique achievements just ask you to use one named weapon's move. The other three are a Chain Assassination, a Chain Execution and summoning an ally with a Summon-type Phantom Edge. Do each one as soon as you get the weapon. See signature moves.
- Collect as you go. 10 Memory Flowers, 10 Sha-Chi Ambers, 10 Blackstones and 30 Accessories. Tempering 10 weapons and 10 Phantom Edges, and taking one of each to level 30, are best left for the late game, when materials are plentiful.
- Clean up. Sweep up anything still missing, then “Defy Destiny” unlocks.
