bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero Location and Stats

By the Blade Zero Wiki editors

Updated

You get the bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero weapon by defeating the Crusher and the Saw at Mount Soulrend, near the region's bell. It is a two-handed main weapon with 312 damage and 142 status effects at level 1, and its arts are built around breaking guards.

What Type of Weapon Is the Bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero?

The Bonesaw is a two-handed main weapon, and the listings agree on what that means in practice: a heavy saw blade that trades speed for shield-breaking power. Game8 names the type directly, and the Fextralife wiki fan site adds that it is highly effective against bosses.

Nothing on the card below is a guess. The type, the 312 damage, the 142 status effects and the high shield-breaking note all come from the same bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero listings that give the unlock condition, so the card is safe to read before you set out.

Where Do You Get the Bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero Weapon?

Defeat the Crusher and the Saw at Mount Soulrend. Every listing that covers this weapon names that pair as the unlock, and PBZ.gg adds the landmark: the encounter sits near The Giant’s Lair bell. The locations guide puts Mount Soulrend last in its region order, so treat the trip as late-game.

Every bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero listing names the same unlock: the Fextralife wiki fan site, Game8, PBZ.gg and GamersBeacon make the weapon the reward for that encounter, and All Things How calls it a boss drop in the same region.

The bell name is where the pages part company. PBZ.gg says The Giant’s Lair, while All Things How says The Giant’s Fall and puts the fight about 40 m from it, so rest at the bell and sweep outward if the marker does not show. All Things How also adds the detail the others skip: the pair has a second form, and the weapon only drops once that second form falls.

  • Travel to Mount Soulrend, the last region on the locations guide.
  • Rest at the bell, then search roughly 40 m out from it for the Crusher and the Saw.
  • Beat both of them, including the second form: the reward comes when that form falls.
  • Take the Bonesaw, then compare it with the rest of the roster on the weapons list.

What Are the Bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero Stats?

At level 1 the Bonesaw has 312 damage and 142 status effects, and the Fextralife wiki fan site and Game8 report the same pair. Fextralife marks both figures as level 1 values, and neither page lists a higher tier, so a level 30 number would be a guess and stays off this page.

The description that ships with the weapon is the other half of the stat sheet: coarse, jagged teeth with high shield-breaking power, and a line about never granting a swift end to enemies. Read those two together and the weapon has one job, which is opening guards rather than racing a health bar. The Crescent Blade reaches the same 312 damage at level 1, so the Bonesaw's case rests on shield breaking rather than on raw numbers.

How Do the Bonesaw Combos and Sha-Chi Attacks Work?

The Bonesaw runs a four-hit square-button chain, and the Sha-Chi Combo slots in after any swing of it for extra damage and Guard Break. Savage Finale is the expensive finisher: L2 spends 1 Sha-Chi Essence on a set of grinding saw attacks that cannot be blocked.

The combat guide covers the Sha-Chi bar these moves spend. The unique art changes the defensive maths: The Best Offense makes standard blocks eat more Sha-Chi, then hands the next attack extra Sha-Chi Depletion after a parry, which rewards parrying first even when blocking would survive the hit.

Move Input Effect
Standard ComboFour presses of the square buttonThe base attack string
Sha-Chi ComboTwo presses of the triangle buttonSlots in after any swing of the Standard Combo; with enough Sha-Chi it becomes an enhanced attack with more damage and Guard Break
Savage FinaleL2, uses 1 Sha-Chi EssenceA series of grinding saw attacks with more damage to Guard-Broken enemies; unblockable
The Best OffenseBase art, no input listedStandard blocks use more Sha-Chi; after a parry the next attack has increased Sha-Chi Depletion

Which Skills Does the Bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero Unlock?

The Bonesaw opens Guard-Break Pursuit at weapon level 5, Cruel Advantage at 10, Bloodsaw at 15 and Elimination at 25, and All Things How lists those levels next to each art. Bloodsaw is the one that changes the weapon: a full gauge gives 15 seconds of Bleed pressure.

Seven arts belong to the bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero moveset, and only four of them wait on weapon level. The other three fill fixed slots: The Best Offense in the base slot, Savage Finale in the Power Surge slot and Prey on the Mighty in the Tempering slot. All Things How notes that the level-gated four arrive by raising the weapon at the forge.

Is the Bonesaw Good Against Bosses?

Yes, on the strength of one listed trait: the Fextralife wiki fan site calls the Bonesaw highly effective against bosses, and the guard-break arts stack on top of that. Prey on the Mighty, a Tempering art All Things How quotes, speeds up Bloodsaw and Bleed buildup against boss-level enemies.

One caveat sits inside the Bloodsaw description. Puppets, Golden Bodies and Phantom Bodies ignore the Bleed side of the kit, so the late-game pressure does not land on every target; the bosses list files the puppet encounters under their own names. Builds that lean on guard break and Bleed are collected on the builds page.

Is the Bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero Worth Getting?

Our take: worth the trip if you fight by breaking guards rather than by dodging for single punishes. The 312 damage puts it level with the other two-handers, and the arts that matter, Guard-Break Pursuit and Bloodsaw, only pay out while you keep pressure on.

Two things to weigh before you commit. The unlock sits in Mount Soulrend, the last region on our locations guide, so a fresh save cannot grab it early. And every listing stops at level 1 damage, so read 312 as a floor rather than a ceiling, with the weapons list holding the rest of the comparison.

What Is Phantom Blade Zero?

Phantom Blade Zero is a single-player action RPG developed by S-GAME Studio and published by S-GAME Publishing. The Steam store page lists Steam achievements and Steam Cloud support, gives October 28, 2026 as the release date, and shows 88% positive English reviews from 3,668 reviews.

None of those store numbers says anything about the bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero weapon, so keep them separate from the weapon data above. What belongs to the weapon is its two-handed type, 312 damage, 142 status effects, the Mount Soulrend unlock, the combo inputs and the seven arts, each credited to the page that published it.

Frequently asked questions

What are the Bonesaw stats in Phantom Blade Zero?

At weapon level 1 the two-handed Bonesaw has 312 damage and 142 status effects, according to the Fextralife wiki fan site and Game8. Both pages stop there, so no higher-tier damage figure is published for it.

Is the Bonesaw a two-handed weapon?

Yes. Game8 lists it as a two-handed main weapon with 312 starting damage and 142 starting status effects, and the Fextralife wiki fan site describes the same weight class. It runs on the same Sha-Chi bar as the other main weapons.

How to get bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero?

Defeat the Crusher and the Saw at Mount Soulrend, including their second form. All Things How puts the fight about 40 m from The Giant’s Fall bell and says the bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero weapon only drops once that second form falls.

Where is the bonesaw location in Phantom Blade Zero?

Mount Soulrend, in the last region of the story order on our locations guide. PBZ.gg names The Giant’s Lair bell as the nearby landmark and All Things How names The Giant’s Fall, so rest at the bell and search outward.

What does Savage Finale do on the Bonesaw?

Press L2 to spend 1 Sha-Chi Essence on a series of grinding saw attacks. The attack deals more damage to Guard-Broken enemies and cannot be blocked.

At what level does the Bonesaw get Bloodsaw?

Weapon level 15. Each hit builds the Bloodsaw Gauge, and when it fills, Bloodsaw runs for 15 seconds while your attacks build the enemy’s Bleed Gauge, though Puppets, Golden Bodies and Phantom Bodies are immune.

Does the bonesaw Phantom Blade Zero weapon work on puppets?

Partly. The guard-break side works on anything that can be Guard-Broken, but the Bleed side of Bloodsaw does not apply to Puppets, Golden Bodies or Phantom Bodies, so those fights stay a guard-break job.
