one-eyed bow Phantom Blade Zero: Location, Stats, and Effects

By the Blade Zero Wiki editors

Updated

The One-Eyed Bow Phantom Blade Zero Phantom Edge is a Ranged weapon that drops from the One-Eyed Archer on the island at Meigu Lake. The Fextralife page lists 214 damage and 162 Guard Break at level 1, one Remnant Spark per charged shot, and a 3-stage charge on its Soul Temper skill.

What Is the One-Eyed Bow Phantom Blade Zero?

The One-Eyed Bow is the Ranged entry on the Phantom Edge list: one Remnant Spark per charged shot, a piercing Death Ray line, and a unique skill that shoots down hanging objects. Fextralife logs it as a boss drop from the One-Eyed Archer at Meigu Lake, so there is no shop price or crafting step to plan around.

How to Get One-Eyed Bow at Meigu Lake?

The bow comes off the One-Eyed Archer on the eastern island at Meigu Lake, which the PowerPyx collectible route counts as the 6th region. Both the Fextralife page and the Game8 guide name that fight as the source, so the bow is a boss drop.

  • Work through Meigu Lake; the walkthrough gives the region order if you arrived early.
  • Pick up the Bell PowerPyx logs as collectible 60 at One-Eyed Isle Dock.
  • Boat out to the eastern island and beat the One-Eyed Archer standing there.
  • Collect the One-Eyed Bow, then rest at a Bell to refill its Remnant Spark uses.

What Are the One-Eyed Bow Stats and Effects?

Fextralife lists 214 damage and 162 Guard Break at base level 1, and those are the only stat lines the page carries. The bow is Ranged-type and shoots from medium to long range, so the listed pair measures a long-reach weapon rather than a close-range sword.

Neither source publishes a scaling table per upgrade level, so read the base pair as a snapshot instead of a ceiling. Damage should creep up with the upgrades below, and the skill unlocks are where most of the value sits.

Which Upgrades Does the One-Eyed Bow Unlock?

Upgrades buy advanced skills, and Fextralife lists four of them after the starting skill: Death Ray at level 5, Piercing Ray Lv. 1 at 10, Death Glaze at 15, and Thousand-Eyed Gaze at 25. Every step spends Remnant Spark, and Bell shrines restore the uses.

Death Ray carries the line: L1 plus R2 fires a ray that pierces the target and still hits enemies behind it for reduced damage. Fextralife's description of the bow calls it a host for otherworldly death rays, so the later levels are where the weapon stops looking like a plain bow.

Can the One-Eyed Bow Shoot Objects While Unequipped?

Yes. Fextralife files a unique skill called Ranged Shot: once the bow is obtained, it shoots down certain hanging objects at medium to long range even while a different Phantom Edge sits in the slot. That makes it a permanent tool tied to owning the item, not to your active loadout.

The skill is listed under the bow's own abilities rather than as a separate item, so test it on the first hanging object you pass after the Meigu Lake fight and note which ones react.

Is the One-Eyed Bow Phantom Blade Zero Worth Using?

Worth carrying for the reach and the utility, not as a damage swap. At 214 damage and 162 Guard Break the bow is not built to out-hit a two-handed blade, but it is the ranged option whose bonus keys off full HP, and it keeps working as a tool from the inventory.

Our take: treat the bow as a second damage type. The combat guide explains how Remnant Spark spending fits a fight, and the best builds page shows where a ranged slot earns its place, so level the bow to 5 for Death Ray before the long chapters.

Frequently asked questions

Where do you get the One-Eyed Bow Phantom Blade Zero?

Beat the One-Eyed Archer on the eastern island at Meigu Lake and pick the bow up off the ground. The Bell at One-Eyed Isle Dock sits in the same lake, so the boat trip and the fight happen back to back.

How much damage does the One-Eyed Bow do?

Fextralife lists 214 damage and 162 Guard Break at base level 1. Those are the only published figures for the bow, and the page states its numbers are taken at level 1.

Which upgrade level unlocks Death Ray for the bow?

Death Ray opens at upgrade level 5, and Piercing Ray Lv. 1 follows at level 10. Death Glaze arrives at 15 and Thousand-Eyed Gaze at 25, each one still spending Remnant Spark.

Can the bow knock down objects when it is not equipped?

Yes, the Ranged Shot skill keeps working while another Phantom Edge is equipped. You only need to have picked the bow up once, so there is no reason to leave it in the slot for that job.

How do you refill Remnant Spark for the bow?

Bell shrines restore Phantom Edge uses, which Fextralife lists as the rule for every Phantom Edge. A charged shot spends one Spark, so rest at a Bell before a boss or a long stretch of hanging objects.

What is the One-Eyed Bow Phantom Blade Zero used for?

It shoots targets from medium to long range, hits enemies at full HP harder with a charged shot, and pierces crowds with Death Ray. It also serves as a tool that brings down hanging objects while unequipped.
