Phantom Blade Zero Accessory Fragments: Every Set and How They Combine

A PS5 run for Map Master took the Tunnel Crank route into the second camp, and the Phantom Blade Zero interactive map and guide hub follows the other fragment sets into later regions. Five fragment accessories are reported across the game, from the Preservation Jar to the Nuo Mask, and each one has a very different job.

How Phantom Blade Zero Accessory Fragments Combine

There’s no crafting menu. Pick up the last piece of a set while you have the others, and they combine on the spot, and the game asks whether you want to equip the new accessory right away. A half or a single piece on its own does nothing, so a set you abandon partway gives you no benefit at all.

The Remnant Spark Cube is the reported exception. Its two halves, Tenon and Mortise, belong to a Tale called THE CUBE in Meigu Lake, and the final step is to speak with Myst, who restores it. Every other set is reported to combine the moment the last piece reaches your bag, and the finished piece joins the rest of the accessories Soul can equip.

Preservation Talisman Fragment I in Phantom Blade Zero: The First Butcher’s Cave

Fragment I lies on the table at the end of the cave west of the Outlaw Trap Bell, behind the first Butcher. Kill the two Sick Dogs before him, since their bites hit hard, then take the fragment along with the Crimson Forest Tunnel Crank and the other Key Items from the same chopping table.

Follow the same height west from the Bell to reach the cave, and slip past the mounted bandit by the blue flowers rather than fighting it on the way in. The crank is the reason to take this camp first, because it opens the shortcut into the second Butcher’s cave.

Preservation Talisman Fragment II and the Crimson Forest Tunnel Shortcut

Fit the crank into the stone post on the ledge just north of the Outlaw Trap Bell, and a grate swings open over a shaft you can drop into safely. The tunnel runs north to a ladder above the second Butcher’s yard, and Fragment II glints near the Butcher in the cave reached through that trapdoor.

The long way runs through the bandit camp gate, down the stairs, and across the plank walkway over the hound pit, so the crank saves you the pit fight. Beating the second Butcher is reported to lead to a chest with the Sect Leader’s Snuff Bottle, one of the treasures in Quick Hand’s Request.

Preservation Jar Polishing in Phantom Blade Zero: From 50% to 80%

The finished Preservation Jar cuts poison damage taken by 50%, and Jewel in the Village of Lu is reported to polish it once to 80% for one Tainted Crystal Shard and its polish costs plus 8,096 Remnant Dust. With Zhang selling shards for 7,440 Dust, the full upgrade comes to 15,536 Dust if you buy the shard.

Wear the jar for poison-heavy fights and swap it out everywhere else, since a Defensive slot spent on poison does nothing against ordinary hits. Its description hints at a curious effect amid rot and filth, and it’s reported to reveal hidden items at certain objects later on. When you’re ready to polish it, the Village of Lu interactive map in Phantom Blade Zero places Jewel’s shop.

Phantom Blade Zero Accessory Fragments Beyond Crimson Forest: Guardian Idol and More

The Guardian Idol’s Head, Arm, Torso, and Leg are reported to be glinting pickups in the Mandate Encampment, each near a different Bell: Sunset Path, Cliffside Walkway Overlook, Behind the Encampment Waterfall, and Path of the Baishan’s Fall. The finished Idol makes Destructive Phantom Edges cost one more Remnant Spark but deal 75% more damage, and the Mandate Encampment map for Phantom Blade Zero covers that region.

Pangzhen’s Manor Medicine Pot is built from a Lid, Chain, Handle, and Body and is reported to give an 8% chance that Medicine isn’t used up. The Nuo Mask from Mirage Estate, made of Joy, Wrath, and Sorrow, is reported to make Summon edges cost one less Spark and send your summons Berserk, and the Pangzhen & Mirage Estate map in Phantom Blade Zero covers both.

Which Phantom Blade Zero Fragment Accessory to Chase First

Chase the Guardian Idol if you fight with Destructive edges, since 75% more damage on every Dread Axe or War Wagon hit outweighs the extra Spark, and the Darkfire Charcoal that upgrades those edges makes them stronger still. The Preservation Jar is the one to finish early, simply because it’s the first set you’ll meet.

Each finished accessory counts once toward Collector’s Notes, which is reported to want 30, so the pieces themselves don’t add to it. Finish every set you start, and the Collector’s Notes trophy and the other collection goals fill in as a side effect of building your loadout.
