How to get the Flaming Mane Phantom Edge in Phantom Blade Zero
Players must reach Pangzhen, Phantom Blade Zero’s fourth region, before they can obtain the Flaming Mane Phantom Edge. Although it would help clear brambles in earlier areas, the weapon becomes available only through the main quest, so players need to progress well beyond the Crimson Forest first.
In Pangzhen, follow the main quest to the Backstreets and start “The Heart’s Trail”; Lei Dang then fires the weapon with his Tiger Cannon, giving it its full Flaming Mane power. It can burn away bramble barriers across Pangzhen, opening reward areas and routes to the slums, Mirage Estate and docks. Players can also return to the Crimson Forest and Village of Lu to reach the Red and Black Serpent Houses.
In short
- Reach Pangzhen, the game’s fourth region.
- Start “The Heart’s Trail” in the Backstreets.
- Lei Dang’s Tiger Cannon activates the Flaming Mane.
Explained simply
Phantom Blade Zero is an action role-playing game in which players explore connected regions, follow a main story and use weapons to fight enemies and open routes. Some paths are blocked by brambles, so gaining the right weapon can make previously inaccessible areas reachable.
The Flaming Mane Phantom Edge is tied to the main quest and becomes available in Pangzhen, the game’s fourth region. Players must progress through earlier parts of the story before they can use it, including in places such as the Crimson Forest and Village of Lu.
