How to complete Cui in Phantom Blade Zero and find Cui’s grandfather
The Cui quest in *Phantom Blade Zero* begins when players find the puppet child in the Village of Lu, but its resolution comes much later, in the game’s final region. The guide explains how to find Cui’s grandfather and parents, and why missing earlier steps or leaving an area can prevent players from reaching the quest’s final reward.
Players must repair the Illusory Pipa and use it to reach the Mountain of Imprisonment through the Weeping Mistgate, where Lu Sanqing leaves a book page and a Crude Radiant Heart accessory. Later, they need to reach Soulrend Cliff via Pangzhen’s Mirage Estate, after completing certain other objectives; during the ensuing boss fight, Lu Jieyuan appears after the first phase and awards a Baishan Headband after the second. The headband is needed to Soul Temper the Baishan Stormswords.
In short
- Cui’s quest stretches from the Village of Lu to the final region.
- Missing prerequisites can block the quest’s final steps.
- Lu Jieyuan rewards a headband used to upgrade the Baishan Stormswords.
