Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber Fragment Locations
By the Blade Zero Wiki editors
Updated
Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragments come in 40 pieces spread over seven regions, and four of them combine into a single whole Sha-Chi Amber that permanently raises maximum Sha-Chi by 10%. Weeping Creek Valley holds 4, Crimson Forest 6, Village of Lu 4, Pangzhen 12, Meigu Lake 6, Mandate Encampment 4 and Mountain of Imprisonment 4.
How Many Phantom Blade Zero Sha-Chi Amber Fragments Are There?
Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragments number 40 in the fan wiki list, and the per-region counts run from 4 to 12. The quick table gives each region's count and the list it comes from, so you can see how much collecting one area asks for.
Four fragments combine automatically into one whole Sha-Chi Amber, which permanently increases maximum Sha-Chi by 10%. The Phantom Blade Zero Wiki fan site gives that rule, and the collectibles breakdown states the same four-to-one ratio.
The region tracker repeats three of the region totals, so Weeping Creek Valley, Crimson Forest and Mandate Encampment each have a second count that matches. The other four regions rest on the fan wiki list alone, which is why the table names its scope beside every count.
| Region | Entries | Scope | Last updated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weeping Creek Valley | 4 | Fan wiki region list; the region tracker gives the same total | 2026-11-01 |
| Crimson Forest | 6 | Fan wiki region list; the region tracker gives the same total | 2026-11-01 |
| Village of Lu | 4 | Fan wiki region list | 2026-11-01 |
| Pangzhen | 12 | Fan wiki region list, 3 of them inside Mirage Estate | 2026-11-01 |
| Meigu Lake | 6 | Fan wiki region list; All Things How counts 7 | 2026-11-01 |
| Mandate Encampment | 4 | Fan wiki region list; the region tracker gives the same total | 2026-11-01 |
| Mountain of Imprisonment | 4 | Fan wiki region list | 2026-11-01 |
| All seven regions | 40 | Sum of the seven per-region rows above | 2026-11-01 |
Where Are All the Sha-Chi Amber Locations?
Every Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragment sits in one of the seven regions above, and the table below pairs each one with its landmark and the action that produces it. Rows follow the fan wiki's per-region numbering, so the numbers match the ones in a walkthrough video.
Chests cover most of the 40 rows, while the rest drop from named enemies or arrive at the end of a quest. Ground pickups sit on a table at Backstreet Rest, on a prison cell floor, inside a dovecote and on a walkway in Green Serpent House. Check the region you are heading into against the locations overview before you retrace a route.

What Do You Need Before You Can Reach Each Fragment?
Locks, quest flags and enemy drops gate a share of the 40 Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragment rows, so the order you take them in matters as much as the route. The list below gives the object or the fight that stands in front of each gated fragment.
Every blocker on the list is either a key, a quest step or a named enemy, so the boss strategy pages matter less here than having the keys in hand before you set out.
- Rusted Loong Key: opens the tunnel at Long Pillar Overlook in Weeping Creek Valley, where fragment 1 waits.
- Axe: clears the blocked route to the wooden house beside the Outpost path for fragment 2.
- Cave Prison Key: drops from an enemy in the Thieves' Camp prison and opens the locked cell holding Crimson Forest fragment 4.
- Frozen water near Burial Grounds: opens the portal maze and the tower route for Crimson Forest fragments 5 and 6, so come back once it freezes.
- Wan Jun and Bashpole: after that fight, break the floor of the wooden house on Sunset Path for Mandate Encampment fragment 1, then keep Bashpole for the rest of the run.
- Cavern Passage elevator: ride it up to the cave that holds Mountain of Imprisonment fragment 3.
- Ledger of Atonement: hand the ledger to the Maskwalker near Shrine Outer Gate and the fragment comes with the closing conversation; the side quests page lists that chain.
- Named drops: the female puppet near Rustblade Pavilion, the large-headed doll in Phantom Illusionist Ruins, the golden monks above Pangzhen's tower, the fish enemies at Meigu Village East Dock, the enemy on the Path of the Baishan's Fall and Kui Yanyan at Shrine Outer Gate each hand over a fragment when they fall.
Why Do the Guides Disagree on Some Fragment Locations?
Game8's collectibles guide and the fan wiki describe the same Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragments in Weeping Creek Valley from different directions, and All Things How counts one more Meigu Lake fragment than the wiki does. Neither gap changes the total on this page, but both change the way you search.
Game8 puts the first Weeping Creek Valley fragment in a chest in a ravine south of the Broken Puppet Valley Bell. The fan wiki puts the Broken Puppet Valley fragment in a chest in the clearing after the elite Agonized Brute goes down.
For the Rustblade Pavilion fragment, the fan wiki says a female puppet holding a weapon in each hand drops it on the mountain path. Game8 describes an ambush along the cliffside past the Rustblade Pavilion bell, where one attacker drops the fragment beside a set of crates. The Outpost fragment lands in a wooden house beside the path in both write-ups.
Meigu Lake is the one count that differs: the fan wiki lists six of these Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragments and All Things How counts seven. This page keeps the wiki's six, so the table and the totals in the quick table stay in step with each other.
How Should You Plan a Fragment Run?
Plan the Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber run by region and take the keys first. Weeping Creek Valley, Crimson Forest and Mandate Encampment each hold four or six fragments, so they close out in a single sweep once the Rusted Loong Key, the Axe and the Cave Prison Key are in hand.
Pangzhen deserves its own trip: 12 entries, three of them inside Mirage Estate, and the Mirage Estate three sit close enough together to finish in one pass east of the Opera House. Two of the 40 locations also turn up a Memory Flower petal: the Village of Lu chest beside one past the Covered Bridge, and the Pond of Fading Song chest that holds one inside.
Because a full set of four adds 10% to maximum Sha-Chi, the four-fragment regions are the quickest permanent upgrade on the list. Leave the Ledger of Atonement fragment until last if you mean to finish the side quests around Shrine Outer Gate anyway.
When Did Phantom Blade Zero Come Out?
Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragments all sit inside the game that launched on October 28, 2026, and the Steam store page lists it as a single-player action RPG from S-GAME Studio and S-GAME Publishing. Fragment hunting starts in the opening regions, so the whole list applies to a first playthrough.
Collecting runs alongside the story rather than after it: the gated fragments in Crimson Forest and Mandate Encampment sit behind fights and freezes that belong to the campaign, and the Ledger of Atonement fragment closes a quest near Shrine Outer Gate.
Frequently asked questions
How many Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragments are there?
The fan wiki lists 40 across seven regions, from 4 in Weeping Creek Valley up to 12 in Pangzhen. Every row in the table above comes from that list and keeps its numbering.
How many Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragments make one whole Amber?
Four fragments combine automatically into one whole Sha-Chi Amber. The whole Amber permanently raises maximum Sha-Chi by 10%, and the collectibles page gives the same four-to-one rule.
Where are the Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragments in Weeping Creek Valley?
Four sit in that region: Long Pillar Overlook behind the Rusted Loong Key tunnel, the Outpost house past the Axe-blocked route, the Broken Puppet Valley clearing and the mountain path near Rustblade Pavilion. Game8 routes several of them from different bells but describes the same spots.
Why does All Things How list seven Meigu Lake fragments?
All Things How counts seven where the fan wiki counts six. This page keeps the wiki's six so the region total and the table rows agree, and the extra entry is the kind of gap that appears when two guides walk the shore at different points of the story.
Do any Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragments need quest progress?
Yes. Mandate Encampment fragment 1 needs the Wan Jun fight and Bashpole, and Mountain of Imprisonment fragment 4 comes from handing in the Ledger of Atonement. Crimson Forest fragments 5 and 6 wait for the water near Burial Grounds to freeze.
Which items open the locked fragment routes?
The Rusted Loong Key opens the Long Pillar Overlook tunnel, the Axe clears the blocked Outpost route, and the Cave Prison Key opens the locked cell at Thieves' Camp. The Cavern Passage elevator is raised in place rather than unlocked with an item.
Does collecting every Phantom Blade Zero sha-chi amber fragment need online play?
No. The Steam store page lists the game as single-player, so the whole sha-chi amber fragment loop happens inside the campaign. It released on October 28, 2026, which means a first playthrough covers the full list.
