Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments and locations

By the Blade Zero Wiki editors

Updated

Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments are the shards that sit in chests, on ledges and in enemy drops across seven regions, and four of them combine into one Blackstone worth a permanent 10% Attack Power and Guard Break. Fextralife lists 39 entries, PowerPyx counts 40 shards, and an interactive map marks 41.

How many Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments are there?

Three answers turn up: Fextralife lists 39 entries across seven regions, PowerPyx counts 40 Blackstone Shards for 100% completion, and the allthings.how map marks 41 Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments across eight regions. Each number counts a different thing, and the table below puts them side by side.

Fragments only pay off in fours, so the 39-entry list adds up to nine whole Blackstones plus three spares. Plan by region: the locations hub keeps the regional pages together, and Sha-Chi Amber fragments and Memory Flowers cover the other optional pickups.

Where do you find all Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments?

Every row below comes from the Fextralife list, kept in the region that page files it under, with the landmark and the method for each of the Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments. Chests cover most of the list, and the rest drop from a named enemy or arrive with a boss reward.

A few rows want a key item first: the Outpost cell needs the Cell Key from the elevated part of the Outpost, and the island pavilion at Meigu Lake needs the Illusory Pipa. Rows that sit beside a boss arena are marked in the table, and the bosses hub links each of those fights; the walkthrough keeps the region order straight if you would rather sweep in story order.

What does a Blackstone do once four Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments combine?

Four Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments combine into one Blackstone, a permanent stat upgrade rather than a consumable. Fextralife pins the gain at 10% Attack Power and Guard Break; PowerPyx describes the same 10% lift as Sha-Chi or Damage, so read the two as one bonus worded differently.

Which Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments should you collect first?

Start in Weeping Creek Valley: four entries, all documented by more than one guide, and all close to bells you already pass on the main route. Pangzhen is the long haul with 11 entries, and the three Mirage Estate spots inside it need the Opera House and Perfect Vessel Estate bells.

The cheapest rows sit next to a boss you fight anyway: the chest beside Zhuo Bi's arena, the raised walkway chest after Cavalrybane, Wu Lengshuang's reward in The Confinement and the chest at the edge of Iron Butcher's Camp. Grab those on your first pass, then work outward from each region bell for the climb-and-chest rows.

Where do the other guides disagree on Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments?

Two disagreements matter. Fextralife's map note says Crimson Forest holds four, while its own list gives six entries; and the guide files entries 9 to 11 under Pangzhen although their names put them in Mirage Estate. All four Weeping Creek Valley entries get a second write-up elsewhere.

Game8 adds the Cell Key and the enemy that drops the last Weeping Creek Valley fragment, and IGN walks the same four. The Yahoo Tech guide also places the Outpost shard, while allthings.how pins the Crimson Forest shard to the storehouse cellar by the Cliffside Lodge bell.

Frequently asked questions

How many Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments are there?

Fextralife lists 39 entries across seven regions, PowerPyx counts 40 Blackstone Shards for 100% completion, and the allthings.how map marks 41. The three totals count different things, so pick one list and finish it rather than mixing regions between them.

Where do the fragments come from?

Most sit in chests, some wait on ledges and platforms you can only reach by climbing, and the rest drop from enemies or come with boss rewards. The location table above names the spot for each of the 39 entries.

What do four Blackstone Fragments make?

One whole Blackstone, which raises Attack Power and Guard Break by 10% for good. PowerPyx describes the same bonus as a 10% boost to Sha-Chi or Damage.

Where is the fragment behind the cell door in Weeping Creek Valley?

It is in the underground cell in the Outpost, behind a Cell Door. Game8 says the Cell Key comes from the elevated part of the Outpost, so search the high ground before you drop into the cell block.

Which fragments drop from enemies instead of chests?

The sword-wielding puppet at Backstreet Rest, the self-exploding enemy in the Phantom Illusionist Ruins underground and a large puppet inside the Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower all drop one. The Lion Dance Hall courtyard and the chamber in Hanging Cage Cavern work the same way: clear the enemies, then pick the fragment up.

How many regions hold Phantom Blade Zero blackstone fragments?

The Fextralife list uses seven, because it files the three Mirage Estate spots under Pangzhen, while the allthings.how map counts eight regions with Mirage Estate on its own. The fragments are the same either way; only the grouping differs.
