Phantom Blade Zero Bosses: Every Enemy and Where to Find Them

Phantom Blade Zero features a substantial roster of 61 bosses scattered across its seven distinct maps. While many are optional encounters, this guide aims to provide a complete compendium for players seeking to challenge every foe or streamline their progression by focusing on story-critical battles.

Locating All 61 Bosses

The game's boss encounters are presented in a specific order of appearance, and knowing these locations can be crucial for both completionists and those seeking specific weapon rewards. Each boss entry includes the region where they are found, the nearest 'Bell' checkpoint for reference, any alternate phase names, and the rewards obtained upon victory. New weapons are specifically highlighted to aid players in their pursuit of all available armaments.

It's important to note that some bosses, like the Aberrant Three-Faced Puppet encountered early in Weeping Creek Valley, can present a significant challenge. The game is designed to allow players to retreat and return later when they have gained more power, so if a particular boss proves too difficult, consider progressing elsewhere and revisiting them later in your playthrough.
