For more background on the game, see IGN’s Phantom Blade Zero coverage and the Steam store.
Start the Search Through Pangzhen
The early stretch establishes the rhythm: watch for upgrade materials, then sweep nearby spaces for story collectibles and gear. The route begins with a Blackstone Shard at 00:00 and a Sha-Chi Amber Shard at 00:31, followed by Flameward at 01:15 and Fire Meteor at 01:33. Memory Flowers arrive in quick succession: Lion Dance Grandmaster I at 01:49, another Blackstone Shard at 02:01, and Grandmaster II at 02:31. Armybreaker appears at 02:43, with another Blackstone Shard at 02:57, Grandmaster III at 03:16, and an Amber Shard at 03:29. Crimson Resolve is marked at 04:32, followed by another Amber Shard at 06:04 and the Manor Medicine Pot at 06:43. Guides from GamesRadar+ and Polygon offer additional perspectives on how modern action games reward exploration.
At 07:52, the route reaches Reunion with Brother I, then Dance Fan at 08:07 and Wolfjaw at 09:25. The next sweep picks up a Blackstone Shard at 09:38, an Amber Shard at 09:57, another Blackstone Shard at 10:28, Congeal Talisman at 10:44, and another Amber Shard at 11:04. Grandmaster IV appears at 11:29, followed by Mandate Leaders VI at 11:42. The Search I and II Memory Flowers land at 13:04 and 13:29, with Everflow at 13:48 and an Amber Shard at 14:02. Thunderward, Grandmaster V, and Estate Experiments III are next at 14:26, 14:42, and 14:56; Green Serpent Brew follows at 15:10, then Estate Experiments II at 15:24 and a Blackstone Shard at 15:45. The time-stamped sequence keeps these closely packed finds manageable, much like the walkthrough resources collected by Eurogamer and GameSpot.
Follow the Estate’s Trail of Secrets
The Mirage Estate section broadens the haul with more combat tools and character memories. You Loong’s Deluge and Goldblaze are listed at 16:31 and 16:45, while Bitter Kin I appears at 19:12. Thunder Spear follows at 19:27, Blessed Jade Pendant at 19:38, and Blackstone Shards at 20:24 and 21:02. An Amber Shard is marked at 21:24, then Flaming Mane at 21:41. The route also flags the Banyan Tree challenge location at 22:09, Parting Hooks at 22:32, another Amber Shard at 22:42, and Formless Divine Mirror at 23:02. Estate Experiments I arrives at 23:54, followed by a Blackstone Shard at 24:08, Sha-Chi Headscarf at 24:27, Illusory Pipa at 25:50, Ultimate Talisman at 26:59, and Auspicious Lion Fireball at 28:45. For broader action-game coverage, consult IGN and Polygon.
Later stops flesh out the estate’s personal histories while adding still more equipment. Bai Xue’er’s Memory Flowers are at 29:30 and 32:00, with Snow and Blood at 32:17 and Acolyte Lei Ting’s challenge location at 32:28. Mandate Leaders II appears at 33:11; A Mother’s Heart I and II follow at 33:55 and 34:19. Merciful Dew and Remnant Spark Cube are marked at 35:41 and 35:54. The route then tracks Yu’er’s Memory Flower I at 37:33, Patron Gao’s I at 38:01, and Thread-Binding Disciple’s I at 38:22. A Blackstone Shard comes at 38:48, Feather Flan Plume at 39:01, an Amber Shard at 39:27, Disciple’s II at 39:53, another Amber Shard at 40:18, and a Blackstone Shard at 40:57. Ritual Wine, Executioner’s Headscarf, and Crescent Blade appear at 41:23, 41:48, and 42:24. The Memory Flower trail is a narrative thread as much as a completion checklist; related coverage can be found at GamesRadar+ and Eurogamer.
Close the Loop on Every Last Find
The final stretch gathers the remaining memories, accessories, and combat gear. At 42:40, the Aberrant Three-Faced Puppet’s first Memory Flower appears, followed by Yu’er’s II at 42:58, Patron Gao’s II at 43:18, and an Amber Shard at 43:31. Thundermoon Lantern is at 43:53, Wraith Mask at 45:40, the Puppet’s II at 46:00, and Thread-Binding Disciple’s III at 46:08. Another Blackstone Shard is listed at 46:24, with the Mirage Estate Lóng Pillar challenge location at 46:48. Disciple’s IV and Yu’er’s III arrive at 47:34 and 47:47, followed by an Amber Shard at 48:02, Patron Gao’s III at 48:20, and the Puppet’s III at 48:35. The last entries are a Blackstone Shard at 49:34, Tiger Cannon at 49:46, Leng Tu’s Memory Flowers at 50:01 and 50:10, and Nuo Mask at 50:24. For players checking their progress against wider game coverage, GameSpot and IGN’s game hub are useful starting points.
One naming change is worth keeping in mind: a recent patch renamed Blackstone and Sha-Chi Amber Fragments to Blackstone Shards and Sha-Chi Amber Shards. The guide’s graphics and timestamps use the updated names, even if some footage still displays the older wording. Following the listed markers—from the opening shard to the final Nuo Mask—provides a practical path to a complete Pangzhen and Mirage Estate sweep. More information about the game and its release can be checked through the Steam store and IGN.
