How to Get Parting Hooks

To get the Parting Hooks, defeat Soulclaimer in Pangzhen during Chapter: The Lake. Game8 identifies Soulclaimer as the encounter that awards the weapon, while the Game8 guide gives the chapter condition. This makes the boss defeat the central unlock step for anyone looking up how to get Parting Hooks.

The Parting Hooks location is near the Dockside Warehouse bell in Pangzhen. The Fextralife wiki places Soulclaimer, an Elite Shadow Warden, near that bell, and the Games.gg guide describes the weapon as dual hook swords found in Pangzhen. Together, these details point you toward the bell area and the Soulclaimer encounter.

• Go to Pangzhen during Chapter: The Lake.
• Find the courtyard near the Dockside Warehouse bell.
• Defeat Soulclaimer, the Elite Shadow Warden, to obtain the Parting Hooks.

Parting Hooks Stats

The Parting Hooks stats at base level 1 are 288 damage and 118 Guard Break. Game8 lists the weapon as a Dual-Wield Main Weapon with starting damage of 288 and starting guard break of 118; the Fextralife wiki gives the same two base-level values. These are the listed starting figures for the weapon.

The two numbers describe separate listed attributes: damage is 288, while Guard Break is 118. The values identify the weapon at level 1, so use that level when comparing these figures with another listing. The stats table keeps the level and each value together for a quick check.

Counter Art and Playstyle

The Parting Hooks’ Counter art enters Guard Stance to block and counter melee attacks, and it is especially useful for breaking shields. The Games.gg guide describes this defensive counter function. That gives the weapon a specific use against melee attacks and shields, alongside its listed damage and Guard Break values.

For a build or playstyle choice, the sourced detail to focus on is the Counter art’s stated role. A player considering the Parting Hooks can weigh blocking and countering melee attacks against the stated shield-breaking use. Those are the named functions attached to this weapon, so they give a concrete basis for deciding whether its counter style suits the way you want to approach an encounter.

Our take on the Parting Hooks

Our take on Parting Hooks Phantom Blade Zero is that their appeal rests on a clear combination: a dual-wield weapon, 288 starting damage, 118 starting Guard Break, and a Counter art that blocks and counters melee attacks. The shield-breaking use adds a specific reason to consider the weapon beyond its two starting numbers. Each part of that description is tied to a named attribute or stated function.

The route to the weapon is also specific enough to guide a pickup: reach Pangzhen, locate the Dockside Warehouse bell courtyard, and defeat Soulclaimer during Chapter: The Lake. The useful distinction is between the location clue and the unlock condition: the bell and courtyard narrow down where to look, while the boss defeat is what awards the weapon. For the game, those are the practical details to keep in mind before heading to the encounter.
