Hunter's Chain Sickle Guide: Hunters Chain Sickle Phantom Blade Zero Location and Stats

Hunter's Chain Sickle at a Glance

The Hunter's Chain Sickle is a Martial Phantom Edge with 247 Starting Damage, a 3-hit mid-to-long-range chain combo, and grapple traversal that stays available when the Phantom Edge is not equipped. For quick reference, Hunters Chain Sickle Phantom Blade Zero pairs that damage line with a 30% chain damage share, and the Fextralife fan wiki adds a full-combo cost of 1 Remnant Spark; the game8 fan site also describes the 3-hit mid-to-long-range slashing combo.

Hunter's Chain Sickle Stats and Effects

The Hunters Chain Sickle Phantom Blade Zero stats and effects combine a 247 Starting Damage line with a 3-hit mid-to-long-range combo, a 30% chain damage share, and a 1 Remnant Spark cost for the full sequence. The IGN wiki lists 247 Starting Damage and 213 Guard Break for this Martial Phantom Edge. TheGamesWiki lists 247 Damage and 234 Guard Break, so the damage value matches while the Guard Break value differs by source.

Combat use is the second half of the effect. Repeated R2 inputs perform up to three cuts, and a full combo consumes 1 Remnant Spark, per the Fextralife fan wiki and TheGamesWiki. The chain itself contributes 30% of the blade's damage, so the reach is part of the damage package rather than a separate tool.

Two named follow-ups change the spacing after the main sequence. Shadow Bound pulls a locked-on enemy closer after a combo, while Coiling Chain pulls an enemy toward Soul or pulls Soul toward a large enemy without an additional Remnant Spark cost, according to TheGamesWiki. The traversal skill, Grappling Traverse, lets Soul reach distant anchor points after obtaining the Chain Sickle and remains available while the weapon is not equipped.

How to Get Hunter's Chain Sickle

To get the Hunters Chain Sickle Phantom Blade Zero, defeat The Hunt in Weeping Creek Valley and claim the Phantom Edge reward. The encounter is tied to The Hunt Sixfold Scythe, and the reward is the Phantom Edge itself.

The unlock condition is tied to that specific encounter rather than a general pickup. The Fextralife fan wiki says the Hunter's Chain Sickle is acquired as a reward for defeating The Hunt Sixfold Scythe, and the IGN wiki names The Hunt, Hunter of the Order as the source. TheGamesWiki adds the second-encounter condition and the Steel and Steam chapter.

• Travel to Weeping Creek Valley. The Fextralife fan wiki and the game8 fan site both place the reward there.
• Use the second encounter, not the first. TheGamesWiki states that The Hunt during the second encounter awards the Chain Sickle and that the first encounter does not.
• Head for the Great Waterfall. the Exputer fan site says to defeat The Hunt, Sixfold Scythe, at the Great Waterfall in Weeping Creek Valley, and AllThings places the Hunter's Chain Sickle near the Great Waterfall bell.
• Defeat The Hunt Sixfold Scythe. Fextralife and Exputer name Sixfold Scythe as the encounter that rewards the Phantom Edge.
• Claim the Hunter's Chain Sickle. Once obtained, its Grappling Traverse exploration skill lets Soul grapple onto distant anchor points even when the Phantom Edge is not equipped, as game8 describes.

Hunter's Chain Sickle Location and Encounter

The Hunters Chain Sickle Phantom Blade Zero location is Weeping Creek Valley, with the fight tied to The Hunt at the Great Waterfall. AllThings places the Hunter's Chain Sickle near the Great Waterfall bell, and the Exputer fan site says to defeat The Hunt, Sixfold Scythe, at the Great Waterfall in Weeping Creek Valley. TheGamesWiki calls the awarding fight the second encounter in Weeping Creek Valley and says the first encounter does not award it.

The encounter also appears under more than one name. the IGN wiki lists The Hunt, Hunter of the Order as the source, while Fextralife and Exputer use The Hunt Sixfold Scythe. The shared location across those pages is Weeping Creek Valley, so the route marker to watch is the Great Waterfall.

Our take on Hunter's Chain Sickle

Our take on Hunter's Chain Sickle is that its value is split between combat reach and route access. The combat package is a 3-hit mid-to-long-range sequence with a 30% chain share and a 1 Remnant Spark cost for the full combo. The traversal unlock is the part that changes exploration because Grappling Traverse remains available when the Phantom Edge is not equipped, as game8 and TheGamesWiki both describe.

Shadow Bound and Coiling Chain are the named spacing tools to watch. Shadow Bound pulls a locked-on enemy closer after a combo, and Coiling Chain pulls an enemy toward Soul or pulls Soul toward a large enemy without an additional Remnant Spark cost, per TheGamesWiki. The broad Phantom Edge system also unlocks progression by breaking walls, swinging over chasms or gaps, or knocking down hanging resources, according to the IGN wiki, so the Chain Sickle fits that wider exploration role.

Related pages worth keeping open are the Phantom Edges index, the bosses hub, the The Hunt Sixfold Scythe encounter page, the The Hunt, Hunter of the Order page, and the controls page for input reminders. A player checking route options can also use locations and builds while mapping the grapple points.
