All 25 Phantom Edges in Phantom Blade Zero: Locations and How to Get Them

Phantom Edges are Soul's secondary weapons. They spend Remnant Spark rather than Sha-Chi, and many double as traversal tools that open new paths. TechWiser counts 25 of them in five types: Destructive, Ranged, Martial, Artifice and Summoning. This guide lists where each comes from, region by region. Stats and tempering materials are in our Phantom Edges database.

A note on the count: Destructoid also reaches 25 by counting upgraded forms such as the Illusory Pipa, while the th.gl database lists 24 base entries. The difference comes from whether repaired or tempered forms count separately, not from a missing weapon.

Traversal edges to prioritise

Several edges open new routes: the Dread Axe for chains, the Chain Sickle for grapples, the Bastion for arrow traps, the Bashpole for floors, the Flaming Mane for vines, the Illusory Pipa for mist, the Flying Guillotine for dials and the Tiger Cannon for sealed walls. PCGamesN notes that the Flying Guillotine and Tiger Cannon open locked areas across many maps, so revisit earlier regions once you have them.

Trophies

Phantom Arsenal (temper 10 edges) and Skill Over Strength (one edge to level 30) are covered in the trophy guide and the Soul Tempering guide.
