Phantom Blade Zero Trophy List
Short answer: Phantom Blade Zero has 36 trophies — 1 platinum, 3 gold, 14 silver, 18 bronze — with 19 hidden and no online requirements. The platinum is “Defy Destiny”, earned by collecting everything else in a single 30–40 hour playthrough.
List structure
| Type | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Platinum | 1 | Defy Destiny — earn every other trophy |
| Gold | 3 | With Heart and Blood · All Dreams Must End · The Four Freed |
| Silver | 14 | Boss and milestone trophies |
| Bronze | 18 | Early story beats, combat and side-quest trophies |
We publish trophy names and unlock conditions only after they can be cross-checked against two independent sources. Half of the list is hidden until earned, so a verified-by-playing list lags the datamined ones by a few days — we would rather be slow than wrong on a completionist page. The confirmed entries are below; this page is updated as the rest clear verification.
Confirmed trophies
| Trophy | Type | What it takes |
|---|---|---|
| Defy Destiny | Platinum | Earn all other trophies. No DLC required. |
| With Heart and Blood | Gold · missable | Complete every purple-icon journal quest in the Illusory Realm, then defeat Zhu Yuan and Bi Feng. This is the true-ending chain. |
| All Dreams Must End | Gold | Story-related; unlocks on the main route. |
| The Four Freed | Gold | Hidden story trophy. |
| The Heart’s Journey | Bronze | Escape the Pursuers on the Main Road — an early, unmissable story beat. |
| Phantom Edge mastery | Silver (reported) | Upgrade a single Phantom Edge to its maximum level of 30. |
Missable trophies
Seven trophies can be lost permanently, all of them tied to region-locked side content or the journal chain. The rule of thumb: clear a region's side content before its boss. If you are already past that point, the only fix is an earlier save or a second run — the game does not let you replay closed regions.
- Journal quests in the Illusory Realm (feeds “With Heart and Blood”).
- NPC requests that disappear when a region's story advances.
- Optional encounters tied to specific quest lines.
Reading this list correctly
| Platform | PS5 — 36 trophies. PC has 66 Steam achievements, so counts are not comparable |
|---|---|
| Hidden trophies | 19 — names and descriptions stay masked until unlocked |
| Online / co-op | None. The game is single-player only |
| Difficulty requirement | None — Wayfarer is fine for every trophy |
| NG+ requirement | None, but missables can force a second run |
