All 66 Phantom Blade Zero achievements, with their official descriptions and the share of Steam players who have each one. Hidden ones are included; their descriptions name places and bosses, not plot twists.

Spoiler level: Achievement descriptions name areas, bosses and quests. They contain no plot.
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. [Official] [Press]

## 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](https://phantombladezerogame.org/endings/#true-ending) 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](https://phantombladezerogame.org/weapons/#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.

## Missable achievements

Game Informer says the game shows a “last chance” warning near the finale, and True Ending tasks must be done before you pass it. [Press] PowerPyx adds that the required quests are only missable through that deadline, not through other choices. [Guide] To be safe, treat these as missable:

- With Heart and Blood — All Comes to Light
- Forbidden Arts Beneath the Lake — Complete [Secrets at the Heart of the Lake]
- Phantom and Blade — Complete [Bloodline Awakening]
- The Last of Baishan — Complete [Secrets of the Baishan Sect]
- Together Till the End — Complete [The Journey Home]
- A Wanderer's Honor — Complete [Young Master Lan]
- Spectral Blade — Complete [A Severed Mindseal]
- The Healer’s Legacy — Complete [Flesh Lily], [Apprentice Healer], and [A Healer’s Mercy]
- Lost and Found — Complete All [Quick Hand’s Requests]
- Even Trees Know Sorrow — Complete [Heart of the Banyan]
