aureate Phantom Blade Zero Location and Stats

What Is Aureate Phantom Blade Zero?

Aureate is a pure-gold longsword the weapon lists count as a one-handed main weapon. All Things How says the card describes a longsword forged from pure gold that imitates Zuo Shang's Golden Sword Energy, and Game8 pins the starting numbers at 324 damage and 120 guard break.

The unlock is a story kill, not a stat gate. The Fextralife fan wiki, Game8 and Gamerant all put the reward at Mount Soulrend and the source at Zuo Shang, the Order's Shadow Sovereign. All Things How adds two conditions around that fight: the Secrets at the Heart of the Lake quest, and defeating him at the end of the story.

What Are the Aureate Phantom Blade Zero Stats?

At level 1 its two listed numbers are 324 damage and 120 guard break, and every site that prints a figure prints exactly those two. The Fextralife fan wiki, Game8 and Beebom agree on both, and Maxroll repeats the 324 damage figure in its own weapon rundown.

Guard break is the number worth watching while you fight. A 120 starting value means the blade chips a guard bar slowly on its own, so the weapon leans on the sword summons in the next table to open enemies up instead of on raw swings; the combat guide covers how that bar works.

Where Do You Get Aureate Phantom Blade Zero?

Defeat Zuo Shang at Mount Soulrend. Game8 files the fight under the Diverging Paths chapter, the Fextralife fan wiki names the same boss and region, and Gamerant styles him the Order's Shadow Sovereign. All Things How adds one more condition: the kill has to land at the end of the story.

That last detail is the one that changes a playthrough, so plan the route backwards. Finish the side quest before the final stretch, keep the walkthrough chapter order open while you play, then check the Zuo Shang boss guide for his guard-bar cues before you walk into the arena.

• Finish the Secrets at the Heart of the Lake side quest.
• Reach Mount Soulrend in the Diverging Paths chapter.
• Defeat Zuo Shang at the end of the story to receive Aureate.
• Swap it in and check the rest of the roster on the weapon list.

Which Skills Does Aureate Phantom Blade Zero Have?

Game8 lists one core gimmick and a spread of stance skills around it. Living Swords embed in whatever they hit, five embedded swords pop a Sword Energy Burst, and the Grand Design stance layers phantom firearms, a phantom hammer and an iron umbrella on top. Golden Long Sword fires on a weapon switch or a Blue-flash parry.

Read the table with the burst in mind: almost every row either plants a sword or rewards you for having swords planted. The tempering entry, The Grand Design, is the payoff that makes the next summon stronger after a burst lands.

Is Aureate Phantom Blade Zero Worth Using?

Our take: it rewards setup instead of raw swings, so it suits players who like planting effects and cashing them in. With 120 guard break you are not breaking guards on blade alone, and one-handed reach keeps the Living Sword windows short — but five embedded swords turn one combo into a burst that buffs everything after it.

Bring it if you already enjoy the Grand Design stance; skip it if you want a weapon that wins exchanges on stats. Compare the numbers against the other blades on the weapon list, see where a summon-based kit fits a loadout on the builds page, and pair it with the parry timing in the combat guide before you take it into a boss room.

Its acquisition is the steadiest fact here: one boss, one region, no random step, which makes aureate Phantom Blade Zero one of the simpler story weapons to chase.
