Heartless Remnants Walkthrough (Chapter 5)- Phantom Blade Zero

Heartless Remnants Summary

Soul's journey to Pangzhen takes him to the Village of Lu: a once-peaceful settlement now corrupted by evil rituals, wooden puppets, and other twisted creations.

Heartless Remnants Walkthrough

[1] Meet Jewel

Start by taking the bridge towards the next area. Pick up the document next to the rock to unlock the side quest, Illusory Pipa.

Along the way you'll meet Jewel, the younger sister of Forge. She can help refine your accessories, boosting their effectiveness.

[2] Head to the Crossroads

The road will split at this point. Take the left road as it will lead you to the Village of Lu. The road on the right leads to the Mandate Encampment, which is closed for now but can still be explored.

• Heading Left

• Heading Right

NOTE: Interacting with the Memory Flower unlocks the side quest: Pillars of Kunlun

[3] Enter the Village of Lu

You're next checkpoint is the glowing tree with enemies lying around. There are two paths you can take; the one further right has some collectibles, while going straight leads you to Old Man Gen. Take care of the small fry, then talk to him to unlock the side quest, The Journey Home.

After talking to Old Man Gen, enter the gate.

The path into the village is blocked by Zhuo Bi, the Gatekeeper. You can choose to fight him directly to enter the village or take a detour. Taking the detour will lead you to Lan Shaodi. Talk to him to unlock the quest, Young Master Lan.

• Right Path

Defeat Zhuo Bi to get the Bastion.

• Detour

[4] Explore the Village of Lu

Once in the village, activate the Bell in the Village center. After that you can explore the village for any hidden quests and items. Should you wish to progress through the story, talk to the puppets at the center.

[5] Find the 3 Bodies of the Old Masters and Put them to Rest

They instruct you that in order to enter the well, find their true bodies and destroy them.

Start by heading north to an ominous house and make your way inside. Defeat the enemies, then climb the ladder. The giant puppet drops the Mother's Talisman Accessory so be sure to pick it up.

Make your way to the other side. The area that you need to go to will be blocked by threads, so you need to find its source. Don't forget to ring the Bell to fast travel back to it.

Take the path to the right of the Bell then go down. There will be a big gate that can be broken down using the Dread Axe. The entrance leading back to the village square can also be accessed by going right. There is also a Memory Flower here for you to pick up.

Defeat the enemies to sever the threads blocking the path. Then make your way back by going to this area and then climbing up.

Cross the bridge to the next location: the Statue Grounds Entrance. Make sure to ring the Bell and collect any missing items before entering.

[6] Defeat Bi Yuan of the Taixuan Sect

He uses a bronze sword and can block your attacks. He can also attack from a distance using blade projectiles.

After defeating Bi Yuan, a flashback will play with Soul and Miu Xiaokui sparring against each other. A day will pass by the end of it. Don't forget to collect any missable items here.
