Quick Answer: What Does 100% in Phantom Blade Zero Take?

Five ledgers: the fragment ledger (21 documented Blackstone Fragments → 5 Blackstones at +10% Attack Power and Guard Break each, plus the Sha-Chi Amber set at +10% per Amber), the Memory Flowers (+5-7% max HP each, lore attached), the boss ledger (nineteen-plus duels including the optional walls), the ability ledger (the Blackstone tree plus the five Banyan trials), and the achievement ledger (66 achievements, 58 flagged rare). Nothing respawns and almost nothing is missable — except region side quests, which expire silently. The order that works: sweep per region, boss by boss, then one retraversal pass with every traversal tool in hand.

The wiki's completionist benchmark: 22.5 hours at 90% on a first cycle — the last 10% is the secret quests and the retraversal.

The Region-by-Region Sweep Order

Regions reward the full sweep — chests, fragments and flowers before the boss.

Collect per region, before its boss — the pre-boss Memory Flower sweep is the version of region bosses the game appears to balance around (Bai Chilian's fight is the documented example). The ledger below is the checklist shape; the region pages carry every coordinate.

The Retraversal Pass

Once the Hunter's Chain Sickle and the Dread Axe are yours (and the story talismans are banked), run one retraversal sweep: every chain barrier, every swing route, every locked courtyard from the valley onward. This pass exists because the game's gating is honest — it never hides a path you cannot eventually open, and the fragment ledger's stragglers (the outpost cell, the Cliffside Lodge prison, the Beneath-the-Well altar) all fall to it. Track each region's Map Completion screen: the Blackstone Shard counter is the game's own audit.

Secrets, Difficulty and the Last Achievements

The endgame ledger has four rows. The three documented 0.1% secret quests (Secrets at the Heart of the Lake, Bloodline Awakening, Secrets of the Baishan Sect) — the community is mapping them in real time; talk to every odd NPC and read every scroll (they pay Dust anyway). Hellwalker — unlocked by clearing Gamechanger, and the achievements' combat tier (Way of the Blade's chained executions, the weapon-state pair) fits naturally into a Hellwalker run. New Game Plus then carries your mastery forward. The achievement tracker on the achievements page keeps your local score against the documented list.

The honest endgame truth: launch-week documentation covers 9 of 66 achievements by name. The secrets fill in as the community maps them — this page updates when they do.

The Completion Order, Condensed

Put together, the efficient full-completion route reads: one Gamechanger run with per-region sweeps (every fragment, flower, side quest and story boss, leaving the two valley superbosses standing), banking traversal tools as chapters hand them over; one retraversal pass immediately after the lake for every locked path the tools now open; the three secret quests and any remaining superbosses on a build you trust; then the achievement cleanup — the combat tier (chained executions, weapon states) falls during a Hellwalker run, which the Gamechanger clear has already unlocked; and New Game Plus carries the whole kit forward for whatever the list still owes. The achievement tracker on this site holds your local score through every stage of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 100% completion missable in Phantom Blade Zero?
Effectively no — collectibles persist, bosses wait, and hard points of no return are undocumented. The one real timer is region side quests: they expire silently as the story advances. Clear each region's tracked quests before its main mission and 100% stays open forever.
How long is a completionist run?
The Fextralife completionist benchmark is 22.5 hours at 90% completion on one play cycle with 4 deaths. The full ledger — including Hellwalker, NG+ and the secret quests — is a multi-run project for most players.
How many Blackstone Fragments are there?
Twenty-one are documented across the seven regions (three in Weeping Creek Valley, four each in the Crimson Forest and Village of Lu, six in Pangzhen, two each in the Mandate Encampment and Meigu Lake) — five whole Blackstones plus one shard into the next set.
What do I do at 90% completion?
The retraversal pass: every locked path the Dread Axe, Chain Sickle and story talismans open, plus the three 0.1% secret quests and any optional superboss (the Gold-Masked One) still standing. The Map Completion screen's per-region counters tell you which region still owes you shards.
