Feather Bow Phantom Blade Zero is a ranged Phantom Edge that hits targets from medium to long range. You get it by returning the Broken-String Bow to the Brooding Old Archer after clearing the Ruthless Archer Camp in Weeping Creek Valley. The Fextralife wiki says to complete Purge the Sect first, then bring the bow from the camp to the archer at Mandate Outpost. Once you have it, the bow can also shoot down certain hanging objects from medium to long range, even while it is unequipped.

How to Get Feather Bow Phantom Blade Zero

The bow comes from the Purge the Sect quest in Weeping Creek Valley, which Game8 lists as a Chapter 3 quest. The PBZ Database describes the exchange as clearing Ruthless Archer Camp, taking its Broken-String Bow back to the archer, and receiving the Feather Bow in return. Method also calls Purge the Sect a side quest that gets you the Feather Bow.

  • Speak to the Brooding Old Archer at the outpost in Weeping Creek Valley.
  • Clear Ruthless Archer Camp to obtain the Broken-String Bow.
  • Return the Broken-String Bow to the Brooding Old Archer to receive the Feather Bow.

Using the Feather Bow in the Field

The bow gives you a ranged option at medium to long range. Hold R2 to charge, then release to fire. Each charged shot uses 1 Remnant Spark, and a target at full HP takes increased damage. Range is the bow's defining trait: it is classed as a ranged Phantom Edge, so the charged arrow is the part of its kit that works at a distance.

After you obtain the bow, Game8 says you can shoot down hanging objects from a distance even when it is not equipped. The GameSky guide says these hanging loot bundles are marked as Ranged-Type Phantom Edge locations, and shooting one down lets you collect its contents.

Our take on the Feather Bow

The Feather Bow pairs a clear ranged role with a second use on hanging objects. Its stated combat details are specific: medium to long range, a charged arrow that costs 1 Remnant Spark, and extra damage against enemies at full HP.

For the route, the practical order is to clear Ruthless Archer Camp, keep the Broken-String Bow, and return it to the Brooding Old Archer. If you want to compare other ranged and melee options, see the full list of Phantom Edges.
