The game has 63 registered quests, including 9 main Story quests, 11 Mysteries, 33 Tales, and 10 Collectibles quests. Some of these quests unlock new weapons and accessories, while others lead to hidden areas, powerful abilities, and additional story content.
This Phantom Blade Zero all quests guide lists every mission, its location, what you need to do, and the rewards you can obtain. I've also included important missable quests, so you don't accidentally lose access to them.
How Many Quests Are There in Phantom Blade Zero?
Phantom Blade Zero has 63 quests divided between three main Quest Log tabs. The Story tab contains both the main missions and Mysteries, while Tales and Collectibles have their own sections. This breakdown makes it easier to follow all quests in the Phantom Blade Zero checklist without confusing optional investigations with the main campaign.
| Quest Category | Number of Quests | What They Include |
|---|---|---|
| Main Story | 9 | Missions required to progress through the main campaign |
| Mysteries | 11 | Optional investigations and larger storylines |
| Tales | 33 | Character quests, side stories, and optional challenges |
| Collectibles | 10 | Memory Flowers, hidden discoveries, and treasure hunts |
| Total | 63 |
You can track your progress through the in-game Quest Log. Mysteries appear as a quest type under the Story tab, so don't confuse them with the main campaign missions.

Which Phantom Blade Zero Quests Are Missable?
Not every optional quest remains available throughout the campaign. Some Tales and Mysteries have progression deadlines, meaning you can permanently lose access to them by defeating certain bosses or entering a new region. If you're aiming to complete all quests in Phantom Blade Zero, keep the following deadlines in mind.
Here are the important deadlines to remember:
| Quest | When You Should Complete It |
|---|---|
| Apprentice Healer | Complete the herb-gathering objective before defeating Jing Ye, the Outlaw. |
| Flesh Lily | Complete its first objective and give the Flesh Lily to Yu'er before defeating Bai Chilian. Finish its Pangzhen follow-up before progressing to the Training Grounds. |
| A Healer's Mercy | Find all four wounded thieves and report back to Yu'er before defeating Bai Chilian. |
| Secrets of the Baishan Sect | Start the quest by speaking to the sisters near the bridge before defeating Bai Chilian. |
| A Severed Mindseal | Collect and hand over the first Primal Stone to the Shadow Warden before leaving Weeping Creek Valley. |
| The Journey Home | Accept the quest from Old Man Gen and report your progress after clearing the Smuggler's Tunnel before entering Pangzhen. |
| Young Master Lan | Speak to Lan Shaodi and accept his request before entering Pangzhen. |
| Secrets at the Heart of the Lake | Destroy the ritual at the Heart of the Lake before entering Mirage Estate and advancing the Meigu Lake storyline. |
| Bloodline Awakening | Complete all five Lóng Pillar trials before the final ascent to Soulrend Cliff if you want the True Ending. |
| Heart of the Banyan | Complete the Human-Faced Banyan challenges before the final showdown at Soulrend Cliff. |
| Young Mistress | Examine Mu Xiaokui's ribbon before fighting her in the Village of Lu storyline to unlock the additional boss phase and its rewards. |
| Quick Hand's Request | Deliver the five regional treasure lists before finishing Mirage Estate. |
I recommend completing the early Weeping Creek Valley and Crimson Forest quests before fighting their major regional bosses. This is especially important for Yu'er's storyline and Secrets of the Baishan Sect.
Which Phantom Blade Zero Quests Are Worth Completing First?
You don't need to complete every optional quest immediately. However, some provide useful weapons, accessories, abilities, or access to hidden areas. If you're following the Phantom Blade Zero list of quests for completion, I'd prioritize these missions first.
Here are the quests I'd prioritize:
- Apprentice Healer: The Medicine Case accessory increases the healing you receive from medicine by 20%.
- Purge the Sect: Unlocks the Feather Bow (Night Owl), giving you another ranged weapon option.
- The Journey Home: Rewards you with War Wagon, a Phantom Edge.
- Secrets of the Baishan Sect: Provides the Baishan Stormswords and Baishan Headband.
- The Undying Heroic Spirit: Gives you Hero's Courage, which helps Soul Temper Swordsman's Summon.
- Bloodline Awakening: Unlocks Infernal Rouge and contributes to the True Ending requirements.
- Quick Hand's Request: Provides Goldblaze, Flying Dagger, and Quick Hand Pendant.
- Heart of the Banyan: Unlocks The Banyan's Heart ability.
Also, don't skip Young Mistress before fighting Mu Xiaokui. Completing it beforehand reveals an additional boss phase and gives you access to extra weapon rewards.
