Phantom Blade Zero Soundtrack Song Locations

Every earned track here was unlocked on PS5 for Map Master, and the Phantom Blade Zero 100% completion hub and region maps follow the rest of the game’s collections. Most songs come from fights, not pickups, so the way to miss one is to skip an optional boss or trial, not to overlook a corner.

How Phantom Blade Zero Soundtrack Songs Unlock: Boss Themes and Story Moments

A boss theme joins your collection while you fight that boss, so the song arrives during the duel itself, with nothing to pick up afterward. The Zuo Shang, Hua, and Bai Chilian boss fights cover the duels behind each theme, and the optional ones are the songs you can go without.

A few songs come from story moments instead. A Fleeting Dream unlocks during Soul’s memory flashback after you interact with the Crimson Forest Crane Bell, and every collected song plays from the in-game music player, so you can replay a theme without refighting its boss.

Weeping Creek Valley Soundtrack Songs in Phantom Blade Zero: Zuo Shang and The Ghost Bride

The Ghost Bride is the valley song you can lose track of. Hua, Deadly Betrothed, is a hidden boss with no marker or quest pointing to her, and she’s reported to need beating before you finish the Village of Lu for the best ending, so her theme rides on a fight that’s easy to skip.

Unbridled Across the Land (2026) comes from the story. It unlocks during the late-prologue Zuo Shang duel, so it’s the first song in your collection before Weeping Creek Valley even opens up, and the Gallery Entry log for the same duels fills in alongside your songs as you go.

Crimson Forest Soundtrack Songs in Phantom Blade Zero: Bai Chilian, Hua Qianxiao, and the Banyan Tree

Two forest themes come from its big duels. The White Serpent plays while you fight Bai Chilian, Lady of the Twin Serpents, and The Drunken Sword while you fight Hua Qianxiao, the Sword Fanatic. The Phantom Blade Zero Crimson Forest map with the Crane Bell places both arenas and the Crane Bell flashback.

Asura of Wrath is the forest’s optional song. It unlocks automatically once you clear the Human-Faced Banyan Tree trial for Asura of Wrath, the swamp challenge that ends with Jing Ye, The Outlaw, so skip that trial and the song stays locked.

Phantom Blade Zero Deluxe Edition Soundtrack Songs: The Pre-Order Bonus Set

The Deluxe Edition pre-order adds Forged Through Trial, As If It Were Yesterday (2026), Sleight Of Hand, To Heaven and Earth, The Making Of A Hero, No Fear Ahead, A Night Of Rain (2026), The Sword’s Echo (2026), and Forever And Aye (2026). Pre-order and Deluxe rewards only unlock once the prologue ends, and the Deluxe Edition also comes with a digital soundtrack and artbook.

If the bonus set still hasn’t appeared after the prologue, check that the purchase completed in your platform library, then restart the game. Every pre-order also includes the Treasure Basin accessory from the same pre-order, and no trophy on the full trophy list that songs don’t count toward asks for songs.

Who Composed the Phantom Blade Zero Soundtrack

Caisheng Bo composed the score, and he has said the music was never an afterthought. Some boss themes were written before the bosses themselves were designed, so the music shaped those fights rather than following them, which is why each earned song is tied so closely to a single duel.

The score blends traditional Chinese instruments with rock, metal, and EDM, aiming to join old China with modern China. Tracks cut from the game, including a jazz piece Caisheng Bo calls really weird, went into the Deluxe Edition’s music player, so Deluxe owners can hear music the main game never plays.
