Phantom Blade Zero bosses by region

Phantom Blade Zero boss list by location

The named entries below are grouped by the locations used in the boss lists, making this Phantom Blade Zero bosses table a regional reference. The available entries do not provide a recommended level or reward for these encounters, so those cells are marked with a dash; the lists name bosses and areas rather than giving a full encounter record. The locations shown here are the section labels attached to each group, not a claim that every listed boss has a separately verified arena location.

The Fextralife fan wiki names two Prologue encounters, six in Weeping Creek Valley, and four in Crimson Forest. A separate guide lists additional Weeping Creek Valley entries and nine Village of Lu bosses, while overlapping names appear in both Weeping Creek lists. The Fextralife boss list also says bosses have distinct fighting styles, abilities, and mechanics. It does not provide a weakness for each name. The published broad count is 74 entries, but the rows here cover only the names given for these four sections.

Phantom Blade Zero all bosses: what the list tells you

The broader count is 74 boss entries across the prologue and nine regions, as reported by All Things How. The names and location groupings available here account for only a portion of that list, so use the table as a regional reference rather than a complete route through every encounter. The Phantom Blade Zero bosses in these entries have no recommended level or reward supplied by the guide, and the source pages do not attach those details to the entries described here.

The Weeping Creek Valley lists overlap but are not identical. The Fextralife page includes Aberrant Three-Faced Puppet, Peng Meng, the Axemaster, Hua, Deadly Betrothed, and The Hunt, Sixfold Scythe, while All Things How names The Puppet Scavenger, Acolyte Hansui, and Mó Yuan among its entries. Both list Jagged Steel, Hua, The Hunt, and The Gold-Masked One. All Things How's regional list also names the Crimson Forest and Village of Lu groups shown in the table.

The Prologue list names Zuo Shang, the Order's Shadow Sovereign, and The Hunt, Hunter of the Order. The Hunt appears again in the Weeping Creek Valley material with the title Sixfold Scythe, so keep the title alongside the name when checking which entry a guide means. The Fextralife page separates its entries by location, which makes those section labels useful for finding a name in the list. These are the details supplied for those encounters; the table does not infer extra route steps from the order of names.

• For a Weeping Creek Valley name, check which listing uses the title or form you have: the two regional lists share several names and include distinct entries.
• For a Crimson Forest name, the sources list Hua Qianxiao, Jing Ye, Stone Hand Iron Fever, and Bai Chilian.
• For Village of Lu, the available list names Zhuo Bi, Master Bi Hai, Master Bi Yuan, Yuzan, Acolyte Yanru, Dusk, Mu Xiaokui, Jade Dancer, and Iron Fiend.

Weaknesses and useful fight details

The Gold-Masked One is vulnerable to Bleed, and the PC Gamer guide says the boss can be damaged after a parry, perfect dodge, or meter break. Those conditions give you a concrete opening to watch for: create one of those opportunities, then use the vulnerability window to deal damage. The source does not give a recommended level or reward, so the table leaves those cells blank. PC Gamer's Gold-Masked One guide describes the damage openings and Bleed vulnerability.

Hua is immune to Bleed, so the PC Gamer guide recommends using another weapon. Treat that as a specific matchup detail rather than a general rule for the other bosses: the source states Hua's immunity, while the broader boss list describes distinct styles and mechanics without listing weaknesses for its other names. PC Gamer's Hua guide gives the weapon advice.

The Pang Town Lion Dance is weakened by the Water Dragon Head. The boss's fire attacks shut down while it is soaked, giving the weapon a clear tactical purpose in that encounter. The Pang Town guide describes that interaction. The table records this specific weakness, while leaving other weaknesses blank when the cited entries provide no such detail.

Optional bosses and encounter order

PC Gamer and Wikily.gg both mark Hua, Deadly Betrothed as an optional boss beneath Sha-Chi Tower, while the cited lists do not mark the other named encounters as optional. The sources do give two pieces of encounter-order context: one guide places Commander Cleave as the demo's second boss after Tie Sha, and describes The Hunt as an opening pursuit fight on a moving wagon. The demo boss guide supplies those details, but it does not provide a location, weakness, level, or reward for Commander Cleave in the facts used here.

The Hunt's moving-wagon pursuit description points to an opening encounter in that guide, while the regional lists also place entries named The Hunt in the Prologue and Weeping Creek Valley. Keep the title attached to the name when comparing those references, since the listings use different titles for Hunt entries. The source does not establish that every entry with The Hunt in its name is the same fight, so the table preserves each listed form.

Boss order, weaknesses and optional fights

The six Phantom Blade Zero bosses that have their own guides on this site are linked below, with region, encounter order, weakness, and optional status as the cited guides describe them. A dash means the cited guides do not give that detail.

Our take on Phantom Blade Zero bosses

The strongest practical detail in the Phantom Blade Zero boss guide material is how specific the three weakness notes are. The Gold-Masked One has a named status weakness and three openings; Hua calls for a different weapon because Bleed does not work; and the Pang Town Lion Dance has a tool that suppresses its fire attacks while soaked. Those are actionable choices tied to individual Phantom Blade Zero bosses, not a weakness system that the sources establish for every boss.

The broad list is useful for recognizing names and their grouped areas, while the encounter guides add mechanics for only a few bosses. That difference matters when preparing: a name in a regional list can help orient your search, but it does not itself tell you what weapon to bring or what reward to expect. The best-supported preparation from these entries is to remember the Gold-Masked One's punish windows, avoid Bleed against Hua, and use the Water Dragon Head against the Pang Town Lion Dance.

The published list count and the regional names serve different needs. The count of 74 entries gives a sense of the scale claimed by the broad guide; the table gives a focused index of the named entries covered by the regional excerpts. The locations, weakness notes, and encounter-order details should be read according to what each cited guide actually states, without assuming the blank table cells carry hidden recommendations. For the Phantom Blade Zero bosses listed here, the index is most useful as a name and location reference, with fight advice added where a specific guide supplies it.
