Phantom Blade Zero trophy guide

Updated

Yes, the PS5 Platinum can be earned in one playthrough on any difficulty, PowerPyx says, in an estimated 30–40 hours. This Phantom Blade Zero trophy guide starts from the PowerPyx trophy roadmap, which lists 36 PS5 trophies and seven that can be missed; Steam lists 66 PC achievements, and the two totals are not interchangeable.

A Phantom Blade Zero trophy guide needs to keep platform labels clear: the 36 count is for PS5 trophies, while 66 is the PC Steam achievement count. The release date is **October 28, 2026 (Steam store page)**.

Phantom Blade Zero trophy guide overview

The PS5 trophy list has 36 offline trophies: one Platinum, three Gold, 14 Silver, and 18 Bronze. PowerPyx estimates that the Platinum takes 30–40 hours and requires one playthrough; the guide says any difficulty works. Steam lists 66 achievements, including 43 marked rare. allthings.how, a Steam achievement guide, also reports 31 hidden achievements, mostly tied to story and boss milestones.

The count depends on platform, so use the PS5 total when planning for Platinum and the Steam total when planning a PC completion run. Steam lists Steam Achievements as a feature on the Steam store page. The Steam achievement page does not identify which achievements can be missed, so the seven missable trophies below refer to the PS5 guide. A 100% completion time for Steam is not given here.

The How to unlock column is a one-line summary in our own words, and the Missable column follows PowerPyx’s MISSABLE tags: “No” marks the trophies PowerPyx calls story-related and cannot be missed, and “—” marks trophies where PowerPyx says nothing about missing them.

Three of these names also appear on Steam’s achievement list with the same unlock condition: The Heart’s Journey, Listen to Every Flower, and Overwhelming Force. The other 63 Steam achievements are not listed here, and their unlock conditions are not confirmed.

Save points for missable trophies

Spoilers: click to expand

For this Phantom Blade Zero trophy guide, PowerPyx gives these cut-off points for the missable tales. Its general advice is to keep a manual save at the start and end of each region, because a failed tale can be reloaded from the nearest save. It also says to check the Journal at the start of each region for any quest marked red as failed.

  • Spectral Blade: finish the first objective of A Severed Mindseal in Weeping Creek Valley before you leave the region. PowerPyx says it is unknown exactly when the trigger that fails the tale fires, so it advises doing this at the earliest opportunity.
  • The Healer’s Legacy: finish Apprentice Healer before you defeat Jing Ye, The Outlaw, and finish A Healer’s Mercy and hand Flesh Lily to Yu’er before you defeat Bai Chilian, Lady of the Twin Serpents, both in Crimson Forest.
  • The Last of Baishan: accept Secrets of the Baishan Sect from Lanlan before you defeat Bai Chilian, Lady of the Twin Serpents.
  • Together Till the End and A Wanderer’s Honor: accept both tales and complete their first objective before you enter Pangzhen.

Missable trophies checklist

Spoilers: click to expand

The seven missable trophies in this Phantom Blade Zero trophy guide are listed below with the tale or requirement each one depends on. PowerPyx gives no cut-off point for With Heart and Blood or Forbidden Arts Beneath the Lake. With Heart and Blood needs the true ending, which needs every purple-icon tale in your journal. Forbidden Arts Beneath the Lake is accepted when you collect one of Firefly’s Memory Flowers in the Village of Lu.

After the story and before New Game+, PowerPyx says you can return to all areas to collect what you missed or finish remaining tales, except the missable ones.

  • With Heart and Blood: the true ending.
  • Forbidden Arts Beneath the Lake: Secrets at the Heart of the Lake.
  • The Last of Baishan: Secrets of the Baishan Sect.
  • Together Till the End: The Journey Home.
  • A Wanderer’s Honor: Young Master Lan.
  • Spectral Blade: A Severed Mindseal.
  • The Healer’s Legacy: Flesh Lily, Apprentice Healer, and A Healer’s Mercy.

Our take on Phantom Blade Zero achievements

The clearest planning picture is that PS5 and Steam have separate completion totals: 36 trophies on PS5 and 66 achievements on PC. The PS5 route has a stated Platinum estimate of 30–40 hours for one playthrough, while no equivalent Steam completion time is listed. The named Steam achievements show several kinds of goals, including a story escape, a collectible target, and a weapon upgrade.

The practical focus for a PS5 run is the seven missable entries, because the guide connects them to a true ending and side tales that can become unavailable. For Steam, the available named tasks offer concrete progress targets: escape pursuers on the main road, collect 10 Memory Flowers, and upgrade a weapon to Level 30. The larger achievement set also covers story progress, bosses, side quests, gear, combat techniques, and weapon or Phantom Edge moves.

The Phantom Blade Zero trophy guide is most useful when read as two platform checklists rather than one combined list. The PS5 checklist gives a Platinum target and missable warning; the PC checklist gives a larger achievement count and examples of unlock actions. Keep each platform’s count and requirements attached to its own label when planning completion.
