Phantom Blade Zero Twinned Metal Locations

Every pickup here was collected on PS5 for Map Master, and the Phantom Blade Zero dual-wield upgrade wiki and region maps follow the metal into later regions. A single Crimson Forest pickup of 11 is bigger than the valley Peddler’s whole shelf of six, so there’s little reason to buy early.

What Twinned Metal Upgrades in Phantom Blade Zero: Dual Blades up to Level 10

Twinned Metal is the metal for dual-wielded weapons, while one-handed blades use Forged Metal and two-handed ones Broadplate Metal, and every type shares Solvent. Sanguine Twin matches Sanguine’s 200 damage and 100 Guard Break, and the Sanguine Twin and other dual-wield weapons compare it with the pairs that come later.

Past level 10, the refined tier takes over. The Polished Twinned Metal for dual levels past 10 handles the next stretch, so regular Twinned Metal only matters for a pair’s first ten levels. Every five levels is reported to add a skill, which makes level 5 the first real checkpoint for a new dual weapon.

Weeping Creek Valley Twinned Metal in Phantom Blade Zero: Outpost Houses and Gated Pickups

The Outpost’s houses have small free pickups: two in the upper room of the house west of the Outpost Courtyard Bell, two in the back of the damaged house on the Outpost’s southeastern side, and three on the hay bales inside the house east of the Outpost Bell. None of these needs a tool or a Tale, so grab them on your first pass.

Some valley pickups wait behind progress. A pair hangs in a bag in a tree that only the Feather Bow can shoot down, and a chest of four on the platform halfway up the mountain wall and a pair in the lower canyon south of Waterfall Bridge both need the Hunter’s Chain Sickle grapple for the valley’s gated metal. The six in the Peddler’s back room open with the Leave None Alive Tale that opens the Peddler’s back room.

Crimson Forest Twinned Metal in Phantom Blade Zero: The Eleven and the Lóng Pillar Chest

The forest’s biggest pickup is 11 in front of an impaled corpse on the upper wooden platform, with nine near the crates on the hill north of the Crimson Forest Bell and six in the middle of the road to the Pangzhen Bridge Overlook Bell. The Phantom Blade Zero Crimson Forest map with the Pangzhen Bridge Overlook places each one.

The chest at the end of the clearing north of the Mirrorwood Lóng Pillar gives five, reached through the southern Mirrorwood Cave Entrance, and a chest at the same spot gives six Solvent, so one stop covers both the metal and the Solvent a dual pair needs to climb.

Village of Lu and Later Twinned Metal in Phantom Blade Zero

The Village of Lu’s pickups are thirteens, and its best is 17 in the wooden chest in the clearing northwest of the Well of the Three Puppets Bell as you climb the hill, the same clearing with a chest of nine Mechanical Gear. Another thirteen is in the lower courtyard, as the Phantom Blade Zero Village of Lu map up the hill from the Well shows.

Pangzhen & Mirage Estate adds a six and an eight, and the Mandate Encampment gives sixteens, as the Phantom Blade Zero Pangzhen & Mirage Estate map through Pangzhen’s streets and the Phantom Blade Zero Mandate Encampment map inside the gates show, so later dual weapons still have metal to climb with.

Which Dual Weapon Should Get Your Twinned Metal in Phantom Blade Zero?

Put the valley’s Twinned Metal into Sanguine Twin only if you fight with it. White Serpent & Crimson Viper from Bai Chilian hits for 260 with 110 Guard Break, 30% more damage than Sanguine Twin, and the forest’s big pickups come from the same region, so its metal can go straight into that pair.

Don’t buy from the Peddler early. His six cost 1,040 Remnant Dust each, 6,240 for the shelf, while one forest pickup gives 11 free, and the Peddler shelf of Twinned Metal and its price is better saved for a boss you can’t pass. Levels under 10 are reported to refund for free, so testing a pair costs nothing.
