The Hunt Hunter Phantom Blade Zero: Boss Guide

Where the Hunt Hunter Phantom Blade Zero Appears

The Hunt appears during the Reckless Pursuit chapter, on the route to Weeping Creek Valley. The Fextralife fan wiki says the player encounters him while riding a horse carriage, so the fight takes place in a cramped moving space. That setting shapes the basic approach: stay ready to block or parry the kusarigama attacks, then retaliate when an opening appears. The hunt hunter Phantom Blade Zero encounter is therefore best read as a defensive cart fight, with the carriage setting and the enemy’s weapon both central to the instructions.

The cart encounter has a scripted ending before The Hunt’s health bar needs to be emptied or a final blow landed, according to All Things How. That distinction matters when deciding how long to keep attacking: the cart sequence ends when its cutscene triggers. The same site describes blocking sickle swings, parrying blue flash attacks, and dodging red flash attacks until that scene begins. Those are the practical cart instructions; the cart sequence ends before an ordinary damage finish is needed.

The Hunt’s Attacks and Cart Fight Pattern

The Hunt uses kusarigama flurries, hanging slashes, and combos, with a repeated △ quick time event inside the flurry sequence, as the Fextralife fan wiki describes. In the confined cart fight, the wiki’s general advice is to block or parry his attacks and answer when he leaves an opening. All Things How makes that defense more specific: block sickle swings, parry blue flash attacks, and dodge red flash attacks. These details give the cart encounter a clear rhythm of defense followed by a short counter.

The Hunt’s cart sequence ends in a scripted scene, so the objective in this phase is to respond to the attacks until the cutscene triggers. All Things How says the player does not need to empty his health bar or land a finishing blow before that ending. For players following the hunt hunter Phantom Blade Zero route, the key cue is the attack’s flash color: blue calls for a parry, while red calls for a dodge. Sickle swings call for a block, and an opening is the cue to retaliate.

How to Beat the Hunt Hunter of the Order

The Hunt is handled by reading the attack, defending with the response specified for it, and countering when he leaves an opening. On the cart, block his sickle swings, parry attacks marked by a blue flash, and dodge attacks marked by a red flash. Keep responding until the scripted scene begins; the cart encounter does not require emptying the health bar or landing a final blow, according to All Things How. That sequence is the clearest answer to how to beat the hunt hunter of the order on the cart.

For the guidance from FPSGen and Mobalytics, stay at mid range while The Hunt completes his combos, then parry the last hit of regular chains. FPSGen advises dodging his hook grab late. Mobalytics says that during Sixfold Scythe, the player should parry the final swing of longer attack strings, close in, and punish. When The Hunt summons pillars for a diving attack, move clear of the pillars and dodge the dive instead of trying to parry it.

Openings and Weaknesses

The listed openings come from the ends of The Hunt’s attack strings and from the moment he lands on the cart. The table keeps each response tied to the source that describes it, so the cart tactics stay distinct from the combo and diving attack advice. Grind N Strat’s boss listing names an elemental weakness alongside three listed resistances.

Rewards Listed for The Hunt

All Things How ties the Hunter’s Chain Sickle and 20,000 Remnant Dust to defeating The Hunt in both phases at the Great Waterfall. The same guide describes the cart fight separately, with a scripted scene that triggers before a health bar clear or final blow is needed. The cited guide does not state whether the cart fight counts toward that reward, so do not assume it does.

Our take on The Hunt Hunter Phantom Blade Zero

The Hunt’s fight instructions point to defense first, with the opening for retaliation depending on the encounter and attack. In the cart, the cited directions distinguish blocks, parries, and dodges by attack type or flash color, then say to continue until the cutscene. The FPSGen and Mobalytics advice focuses on the final hit of combos, a late dodge against the hook grab, and avoiding the pillar dive rather than attempting a parry. That makes the hunt hunter Phantom Blade Zero guide useful as a set of specific reactions rather than a single tactic to use against every move. For the full list, see all Phantom Blade Zero bosses.

The weakness and reward details come from the cited sites' listings for The Hunt rather than for a single fight, so check which encounter a tip describes before using it: the cart has its own scripted ending, and the Great Waterfall reward listing refers to defeating The Hunt in both phases. The sources name Lightning as a weakness and Fire, Poison, and Bleed as resistances, but none of the cited pages give damage figures to compare those matchups.
