Phantom Blade Zero has 36 trophies on PS5 (1 Platinum, 3 Gold, 14 Silver, 18 Bronze) and 66 achievements on Steam, and the Platinum, Defy Destiny, takes about 30 to 40 hours in one playthrough on any difficulty, by PowerPyx's estimate. PowerPyx rates it 4 out of 10 on Easy and 6 on Normal, and calls the True Ending the hardest trophy. The Steam list below is the fuller of the two, and some entries contain spoilers.

WalkthroughPhantom Blade Zero's story runs through 11 chapters, the prologue included, from Diverging Paths to A Soul's Worth, across nine regions from Weeping Creek Valley to Mount Soulrend. This walkthrough gives the order, the bosses and rewards of each chapter, and the two deadlines that lock content.

Chief Disciple of the Seven StarsThe Chief Disciple of the Seven Stars leads the Seven-Star Sword Formation, the Phantom Blade Zero boss of S-Game's Year of the Snake trailer (Jan 21, 2025) and of its 2025 S-Party demo. Seven swordsmen fight as one, then the surviving disciples hang their leader on crimson threads like a marionette for a second phase, the Chief Disciple's Fallen Hope, which the Red Wraith joins if Soul spared her earlier.
-
HuangxingHuangxing (Huangxingzi, 荒行子) is a Phantom Blade Zero boss, the robed, pyramid-helmeted flail fighter of the 2023 reveal trailer, who was the final boss of the 2024 World Tour Demo as "Huangxing, the Sunken Pillar of Kunlun" and returns in the final game with a second, rampaging phase. Soulframe Liang names him as a villain who once upheld chivalry before he fell.

CharactersThe main character of Phantom Blade Zero is Soul, once the Order's most feared blade, framed for his leader's murder and left with 66 days to live; the stage actor Yucheng gave him his likeness and motion capture. Around him are his father Mó Yuan (Donnie Yen), his blood brother Zuo Shang, Mu Xiaokui, the Flesh Sculptor and The Hunt. [Roger Craig Smith voices Soul in English](https://game8.co/articles/latest/phantom-blade-zero-casts-sonic-va-roger-craig-smith-as-protagonist-soul), replacing Jay Maksenuk, and Donnie Yen recorded Mó Yuan's lines, Game8 reports; S-Game had not published a full cast by Oct 31, 2026.

Mó YuanMó Yuan (魔渊) is the Leader of the Bastion of Mó and the father of Soul, the protagonist of Phantom Blade Zero, played by Donnie Yen through facial and motion capture (and his voice, according to Game Informer and Soulframe Liang). He is the masked man fighting with a baby in the trailers, and Soul fights him several times.

EndingsPowerPyx's guide finds two endings in Phantom Blade Zero, Normal and True, against the eight director Soulframe Liang promised before launch. The True Ending needs every purple-icon quest done, ten of them before you enter Mirage Estate, and leads to a hidden last boss after Meng Hua.
-
MissablesPhantom Blade Zero's biggest point of no return is beating Bai Chilian in Chapter 4, which turns the Outpost and Thieves' Camp people into enemies. Entering Mirage Estate closes the True Ending, and leaving Quick Hand Zhang in his cage loses his shop and quests.
- Side QuestsPhantom Blade Zero's side quests are called Tales; PowerPyx counts 30. Most reward a weapon or accessory, purple-icon quests decide the True Ending, and several fail when the story moves on.
- CollectiblesPowerPyx counts 564 collectibles in Phantom Blade Zero, plus 30 side Tales: 161 bells, 129 Memory Flower fragments, 80 accessories and medicines, 43 tempering materials, 42 weapons and Phantom Edges, 40 Sha-Chi Amber shards, 40 Blackstone shards, 16 Treasures and 13 challenge locations.
-
Skills and UpgradesPhantom Blade Zero has no experience points or character levels: Soul grows through a skill tree opened at bells, weapon upgrades that unlock new forms and can be refunded for free with the Reforging Talisman, accessories, and Memory Flowers that raise his health. The currency, Remnant Dust, is finite because killed enemies stay dead.
-
Difficulty ModesPhantom Blade Zero has four difficulty modes: Wayfarer (the easiest, "intuitive and cinematic"), Pathbreaker (the standard mode), Hellwalker (adaptive bosses with "pure fighting game mechanics") and 66 Days, which unlocks for a second playthrough and ends the run for good if Soul's 66 days run out. Every trophy can be earned on the first three, and S-Game calls the game neither a Soulslike nor a hack-and-slash.
