Missables Guide: Everything You Can Miss - Phantom Blade Zero

Missable Guide: Everything You Can Miss

In order to not miss anything in Phantom Blade Zero, sometimes you need to be wary of what the characters say. Sometimes, it's just a tale you missed from rushing to the next region.

How to Avoid Missing Anything

Here is a way for you to avoid missing anything.

[1] Use your save slots.

You have 20 manual save slots available. It's best to save:

At the start of the region and before leaving; and
Before every boss fight.

[2] Pay attention to their dialogue.

Paying attention to what the characters say in the game can help you avoid missing anything. Sometimes, Soul talks to himself, hinting at you that you should not fight the boss yet. You might think that he's looking down on you. He is not. You might regret not skipping Red.

[3] Talk to every NPC.

Yu'er dialogue options

The NPCs in the game are not placed in this world as a reason to make the areas feel populated. They carry the tales that can lead you to optional bosses and get interesting weapons. Some of these NPCs carry the missable tales. So, make sure to talk to them!

[4] Complete the available tales before leaving.

Sometimes, you might get locked on completing the tale by leaving the region. So, be sure to complete them first.

Bosses that make you miss them.

Watch out for these bosses because you might regret fighting them without fulfilling certain conditions.

Bai Chilian, Lady of the Twin Serpents

Bai Chillian, Lady of the Twin Serpents

Defeating Bai Chilian serves as a Point of No Return. After defeating Bai Chilian, she will turn all the NPCs into Maskless in the Outpost and Thieves' Camp. This will lock you from getting the Boulderguard, Calming Gourd, and Feather Bow.

Red, the Mysterious Swordswoman

Remember to skip Red on your first encounter. When you first meet Red, you will notice that Soul is hesitant in fighting her, and she seems noticeably weak. This serves as a hint for you to skip her.

When you skip her and you finally meet the Chief Disciple of the Seven-Stars Formation, she will join the fight. And when you defeat both of them, you will be rewarded with a Memory Flower and an accessory, the Twin Fish Pendant.
