Phantom Blade Zero: How to Find All of Quickhand Zhang’s Treasures

Secrets of Phantom Blade Zero: The Treasure Hunt

In the demanding world of Phantom Blade Zero, players will frequently encounter a character named Quickhand Zhang. Your first meeting takes place in the Crimson Forest. If you choose to assist him and secure his freedom, he will become your guide to finding treasures scattered across the various regions. These items are not only valuable but significantly enhance your combat capabilities.

Treasures of Crimson Forest and the Village of Lu

There are three main chests hidden within the Crimson Forest. To reach the first, you will need the Crimson Forest Tunnel Crank to open the gate and descend into the tunnel. The second chest is hidden behind the prison at the Thieves Camp, while the third is located in a cave on the cliff edge near the Thieves Camp bell. Fully exploring this region will reward you with the Flying Dagger, which inflicts a poison effect on opponents.

In the Village of Lu, the situation becomes more complex, requiring both precision and combat skill. One chest is located in the large house near the Well of the Three Puppets, and a second is on the upper level of the Lady's Grounds. The third chest is hidden in a shaft near the Survivors' Courtyard. Completing these missions grants you the Fine Thread, an accessory that increases the damage of summoned objects by 50%.

Pangzhen and Meigu Lake: The Final Challenges

There are four chests in the Pangzhen region. It is particularly important to acquire the key to the Tianxeng Pavilion, which you receive by completing the Star Performer quest. To find the other chests, you will need to use You Loong's Deluge to extinguish fire barriers and defeat various bosses, including Wu Xuan. The reward is the Goldblaze, which functions essentially as a rifle.

To obtain the treasure in Meigu Lake, you must complete the Secrets at the Heart of the Lake quest and unlock the mirror zone. This process is complex and requires defeating four acolyte scarecrow bosses across Wulin. The final reward, the Sha-Chi Blood Catalyst, temporarily increases your damage and restores health, though it causes your character to catch fire in return.

Why This Matters

In Phantom Blade Zero, these tasks are more than just side content. They help you upgrade your equipment and prepare for the final stages of the game. Even while some locations remain obscured, obtaining these treasures provides a strategic advantage essential for battling high-difficulty bosses. As you progress, new details regarding Quickhand Zhang will emerge, promising further discoveries for players.
