## Summary

The Festering Secret quest in Phantom Blade Zero asks players to help the Mandate clear Transcension-corrupted warriors from a sealed courtyard. Progress is blocked by two separate obstacles: chains that require defeating a nearby boss, and a gate whose key is inaccessible until another boss is beaten.

The article says that after players hear guards discussing the chained fence, they must overcome those boss-related hurdles to complete the quest. There is no reward for finishing it, though the captain points them towards a body on a cliff across the ravine.
