- The manor contains documents about the Herald.

## Summary

The Crimson Manor in Phantom Blade Zero is locked until players find the Puppet’s Tongue, an item tied to a side quest involving the Three-Eyed Puppet. Opening the manor reveals documents about the Herald and helps players learn more about a central character and work towards the game’s true ending.

To get the key, players must visit the Three-Eyed Puppet through three Spectral Gates and open its eyes. The gates are in the Village of Lu, Mandate’s Encampment and the Mountain of Imprisonment; reaching them requires progressing through quests, bosses and areas including Meigu Lake. Completing “The Herald’s Illusion” side quest rewards the Puppet’s Tongue, which fits the manor’s puppet-shaped lock.
