All 39 Bosses in Phantom Blade Zero, in Order
The story-order list, 24 optional fights, and the 39 vs 50+ vs 74 explanation.
A wuxia action RPG about reading the attack, answering it, and spending Chi at the exact moment it matters. Every guide below is being written against the current build, and every unfinished section is labelled instead of guessed.
Start here
Three pages cover the whole game: learn the systems, follow the boss order, then fix your weapon.
All guides
Sixteen pages, one game. The boss order is the spine; every other guide links back to it.
The story-order list, 24 optional fights, and the 39 vs 50+ vs 74 explanation.
Both prologue fights, the 2,900 and 8,000 HP bars, and the guard-break loop.
The Great Waterfall route, both health bars, the 15 m chain and the hook grab.
The Red Thread Barrier route, the two arena adds, 8,280 HP and the red sixth hit.
13 early weapons, their routes, and the order we would pick them in.
240 damage, 124 status, the Lv.5–25 skills and the enemies that ignore bleed.
Blue parry, red dodge, the 8-frame window and the Sha-Chi loop.
Three setups: bleed and burn, drunken ranged pressure and a parry-counter build.
Three story endings plus 66 Days, the Leng Tu lock and the Pangzhen bridge.
Five trials, every access route, and the Mó Yuan vs Gold-Masked conflict.
How to start a new cycle through Lady Inanis, what survives it, and what 66 Days changes.
The material for each weapon type, the Lv.30/35/60 caps, and how revert works.
The eight regional counts, the Pangzhen overlap, missable bells and map completion.
Steam, PS5 and WeGame prices, the deluxe premium and which key store still has stock.
Buy, wait or skip — critic scores, per-language Steam reviews and playtime behind the verdict.
Which pads work on PC, what DualSense does natively, and what still needs a mod.
Questions
We are still confirming the count ourselves. Multi-phase fights and optional encounters are counted differently depending on where you look, so the boss list marks every entry as verified or pending instead of publishing a number we cannot stand behind.
Start with the beginner guide for combat colours, parry timing and Sha-Chi. Then use the boss order page as a map so you always know which fight is next.
All sixteen are live: the boss order, Zuo Shang, The Hunt, Jagged Steel as a boss, the 13 early weapons, Jagged Steel as a weapon, parry timing and Sha-Chi, the early-mid builds, all endings, the five Lóng Pillars, New Game Plus, weapon upgrade materials, the 161 bells, the price comparison, the worth-it verdict and the controller guide. Anything unverified is marked TODO, and the date at the top of each page moves when a section is re-tested.
Phantom Blade Zero is a PS5 and PC release. Our guides are written from the PS5 build unless a page says otherwise.
