Crimson Forest rewards a thorough hunt
The Crimson Forest is more than a passage through Phantom Blade Zero’s shadowy world. It is a trail of weapons, accessories, medicines, and Memory Flowers, with plenty of reasons to explore beyond the main route. This timestamped guide gathers every listed collectible in one place, making it easier to track a completion run while enjoying the game’s striking action-RPG atmosphere.

Begin with memories and early upgrades
The opening stretch sets the pace with Memory Flower Left by Inanis at 00:05, followed by Shieldbreaker’s Talisman at 00:17 and a Blackstone Fragment at 00:33. The Fanatic’s Broken Blade and Simmering Brew arrive at 01:03 and 01:14, before the Fellow Disciples memories begin at 01:35. Keep following the route for another Blackstone Fragment at 02:13, Cavalrybane at 02:35, and Fellow Disciples III at 03:13. The sequence then adds Preservation Jar at 03:29 and a Sha-Chi Amber Fragment at 04:26. Players looking for broader coverage can browse IGN’s gaming features alongside the video walkthrough.
Weapons and revelations deepen the trail
At 05:01, the Outlaw Warblade marks a notable weapon pickup, followed by The Handwritten Order at 05:14 and Silent Wrap at 05:33. Quick Hand Pendant appears at 06:41, while the memory titled Corruption or Cowardice? comes at 07:22. The next stretch hides a Blackstone Fragment at 07:42 and a Sha-Chi Amber Fragment at 07:58, then returns to the On Perfect Transcension memories at 08:53. Another Blackstone Fragment waits at 09:18 before Stone Hand Iron Fever’s story begins at 09:45. This blend of lore and loot gives the forest its own narrative rhythm; further game coverage is available from IGN and YouTube.
Phantom Edges and Inanis’s story
The route’s combat rewards come into focus with Iron Gauntlets at 10:13 and the Flying Dagger at 10:49, with another Stone Hand Iron Fever memory between them. Quick Hand Might / Quick Hand Pair follows at 12:46, then Calming Gourd at 13:05. From 14:21 onward, a run of Inanis memories traces The Performance, Gravely Ill, The Gilded Lotus, An Uninvited Guest, Soul Displacement Scroll, and New Life. Miraculous Scabbard sits at 14:44 amid that sequence. These pickups make the Crimson Forest feel as much like a story archive as a gear run, a quality worth exploring alongside IGN’s action-game coverage and the Steam listing.
Finish strong with rare gear and final fragments
Bai Chilian’s memories arrive at 17:01 and 17:39, leading into the White Serpent & Crimson Viper weapon at 17:57. Resonance Talisman and Seal of Dugu follow at 18:15 and 18:22, with Sha-Chi Amber Fragments at 18:43 and 19:35. The later stretch is packed with rewards: Brass Chest Guard at 19:56, A Newfound Power at 20:16, Kuye Dew at 20:48, and Frostward at 21:03 and 21:50. Collect the remaining fragments and Blackstone Fragments from 22:13 through 23:45, then close the route with Miracle Remedy at 23:32, Chaos Ring at 24:04, and Freezing Chaos at 24:22. With the timestamps as a checklist, the forest’s full haul becomes far easier to verify; more updates and walkthroughs can be found through IGN and YouTube.
