Phantom Blade Zero Flawless Broadplate Metal: Locations and Uses

The Mandate Encampment stack was picked up on a PS5 run for Map Master, and the Phantom Blade Zero map and guide collection follows the lower tiers region by region. Save it for the blade you mean to finish the game with, since a weapon this far up is the costliest one to reset.

Phantom Blade Zero Flawless Broadplate Metal: The Third Tier of Two-Handed Metal

Two-handed blades climb through three metals. Regular Broadplate Metal for the first ten levels comes first, then Polished Broadplate Metal for the levels past 10, and Flawless Broadplate Metal takes the blade the rest of the way, so you’ll only need it once both lower tiers are behind you.

Sanguine Reach, the free long blade from Forge, is the first two-handed weapon you’ll own, and later bosses add more, such as the Scarlet Wraithblade reported from Hua, Deadly Betrothed. The two-handed main weapons and their stats help you decide which one deserves Flawless metal.

Where to Find Flawless Broadplate Metal in Phantom Blade Zero: The Mandate Encampment

The Mandate Encampment has a stack of three Flawless Broadplate Metal, and the camp is reported to have plenty of optional fights, from Red, the Mysterious Swordsman, to Wan Jun and Wu Lengshuang. Clear the camp’s arenas and its upgrade materials on the same visit, so you don’t walk the Training Grounds twice.

Keep this stack in your bag until you’ve picked your final two-handed weapon. The Mandate Encampment bosses and the rest of the boss list show which optional fights reward weapons of their own, in case a new blade changes your mind first.

Spending Flawless Broadplate Metal in Phantom Blade Zero: Commit First

Reverting a weapon is reported to be free from level 2 to 10, to need a Weapon Reforge Talisman from 11 to 20, and to need additional talismans from 21 to 30. The Weapon Reforge Talisman for high-level reverts is reported at 2,000 Remnant Dust from a Bell’s store, so a Flawless-level reset gets expensive quickly.

Check your Solvent before the final levels too. Universal Solvent is the top Solvent tier, and the Universal Solvent for the highest upgrades covers where it appears, so a missing Solvent doesn’t stall a weapon you’ve filled with Flawless metal.
