Top 3 Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments takeaways

Fextralife lists 39 entries for Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments across seven regions, while PowerPyx gives a game-wide total of 40 Blackstone Shards.

Four fragments combine into one Blackstone, which Fextralife says raises Attack Power and Guard Break by 10%, while PowerPyx describes the bonus as a 10% boost to Sha-Chi or Damage.

Game8 covers only the Weeping Creek Valley entries so far, and IGN says its page is still being worked on, so the other regions rest on the Fextralife list alone.

Notes on specific Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments

The Weeping Creek Valley entries get extra detail from other guides. Game8 says one of them sits behind a Cell Door that needs the Cell Key from the elevated part of the Outpost, and another drops from the last enemy in the fight area before the Ruthless Archer Camp bell. IGN walks through the same four Weeping Creek Valley entries, and Yahoo Tech places the first one in the Outpost as well.

Fextralife's map-completion note says Crimson Forest holds 4 fragments in total, yet its own list gives six entries. The table keeps all six, because the list gives a location for each one.

Fextralife files entries 9 to 11 under Pangzhen, but their names place them in Mirage Estate. The table keeps that grouping, so the Pangzhen count of 11 matches the source list of Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments.
