How to complete the Four Fierce Axes quest in Phantom Blade Zero
The Four Fierce Axes quest in Phantom Blade Zero asks players to gather pages from a case file to prove that the Axemaster, Peng Meng, was framed by Mandate leaders. It takes a long time to finish because one page is inaccessible until players reach a later region, so the quest cannot be completed in the opening hours.
The pages are found in several places around Weeping Creek Valley and Sha-Chi Tower, with one awarded during the Festering Secret quest. The final page is in Lady’s Cave, which players can reach only after arriving at the Village of Lu and starting Leave None Alone. Returning the completed case file earns the Axemaster’s Blood Oath Dagger, which improves the Dread Axe’s charge-up speed when used to soul temper it.
In short
- Collect case-file pages to prove Peng Meng was framed.
- The final page requires reaching the Village of Lu.
- The reward improves the Dread Axe’s charge-up speed.
Explained simply
Phantom Blade Zero is an action role-playing game in which players explore different areas, fight enemies and complete quests. The Four Fierce Axes quest centres on Peng Meng, known as the Axemaster, and a case file intended to show that Mandate leaders framed him.
The file’s pages are scattered across Weeping Creek Valley and Sha-Chi Tower, and one is received during the Festering Secret quest. A final page is in Lady’s Cave, which becomes reachable later, after players arrive at the Village of Lu and begin Leave None Alone.
Returning the completed file rewards the Axemaster’s Blood Oath Dagger. Players can use it to soul temper the Dread Axe, improving how quickly the weapon charges.
