How Do You Get the Fiend Saws in Phantom Blade Zero?

Complete Mu Xiaokui’s Young Mistress side quest in the Village of Lu during the Heartless Remnant chapter, examine all five ribbons, then defeat the extra phase of her encounter. The weapon drops after that phase, and Phantom Blade Zero DB names Iron Fiend and the Jade Dancer as the pair you fight for it.

The listings differ on that last stretch: Phantom Blade Zero DB calls it a hidden third phase unlocked by examining the ribbons first, while Game8 ties the drop to beating Mu Xiaokui. Both put the ribbons first, so run quest, ribbons, then extra phase.

  • Reach the Mu Xiaokui encounter in the Village of Lu, in the Heartless Remnant chapter.
  • Finish her Young Mistress quest; the side quests guide lists the other chains.
  • Examine all five ribbons scattered around the village.
  • Beat the extra phase, where Iron Fiend and the Jade Dancer join.
  • Read the Mu Xiaokui boss page if that phase stalls you.

Where Is the Fiend Saws Location in the Village of Lu?

The drop sits in the Village of Lu, near the Black Serpent House bell, where PBZ.gg places the Mu Xiaokui encounter. The ribbons that unlock the extra phase are scattered around the same village, so do the sweep before you commit to the fight.

The walkthrough lists the Village of Lu against the Heartless Remnant chapter, and the pair you meet in the extra phase has a boss page of its own.

What Does Fiend-Aura Erosion Do?

Each Fiend Saws hit adds to a Fiend-Aura Erosion gauge, and when the gauge fills the effect erupts and erodes the enemy’s HP. Fextralife describes the gauge emptying into HP damage, and PBZ.gg calls the eruption a hit on the enemy’s health, so read it as damage you build by staying on the attack.

The gauge wants long, uninterrupted strings rather than single pokes, the habit the combat guide builds for Sha-Chi attacks; finish after the bar fills.

What Does Fiend Form Change on the Fiend Saws?

Spoilers: click to expand

In Fiend Form the Fiend Saws attacks become unblockable for a short window, according to Wikily.gg. That is a separate effect from the Erosion gauge: the gauge stacks damage over time, while the form effect changes whether the enemy can block your swings at all.

The listings describe the form’s payoff but not what opens it, so treat the window as a bonus: stack hits and let the form arrive while the enemy is under pressure.

Is the Fiend Saws Phantom Blade Zero Worth the Ribbon Hunt?

Yes, if you want a fast dual-wield option: the pair scales from 302 damage at level 1 to 1,179 at level 30, and the Erosion gauge adds damage on top of those raw numbers. The cost is a three-step unlock: quest, five ribbons, extra phase.

Our take: the unlock order is the part worth writing down, since the ribbons come before the extra phase. Weigh the numbers against the Crescent Blade page and the weapons guide before you commit.
