Summary
Looking to enter the Crimson Manor in Phantom Blade Zero ? While this ominous-looking home can be seen early in the campaign, it’s going to take a lot of hours before you can actually gain access. We’ve got all the details for you in our guide, but be forewarned of a few spoilers as well. In This Article Crimson Manor location - The Weeping Creek Valley and the Mute door The Herald’s Illusion and the Puppet’s Tongue The first portal The second portal The third portal What’s inside and below the Crimson Manor? Crimson Manor location - The Weeping Creek Valley and the Mute door The Phantom Blade Zero Crimson Manor is actually in the first major region: Weeping Creek Valley. Here’s what you need to know: You must complete a side quest called Deep in the Valley . It lets you explore a chunk of the zone, including the lower section of the Sha-Chi Tower. At the bottom of the Sha-Chi Tower, you’ll notice a Powderkeg enemy that keeps spawning. Stand near the wooden ruins and rubble and lure it toward you. Then, step away before it explodes. The explosion should reveal a lift that takes you down to the depths. Early on, there’s not much you can do. If you approach the puppet-door--later known as Mute--a notification will simply state that it’s missing its tongue. A side quest even tells you to just “keep exploring.” Still, you can pick up the Ancient Armor Fragment near a gnarled tree. It’s an accessory that improves damage reduction. The Powderkeg enemy (left) helps reveal a way to reach the Crimson Manor, though you can't open the door just yet (right). The Herald’s Illusion and the Puppet’s Tongue Your goal now is to find the Puppet’s Tongue to open the door. But there’s a catch: You must visit three different portals that lead to the Three-Eyed Puppet. This leads to a quest called The Herald’s Illusion. The first portal The first portal is in the Village of Lu, specifically in the Puppet Testing Grounds. You reach this area by completing the main quest objectives and descending into the well. Down below, you have to beat a boss named Yuzan, No. 3 Musician Puppet. In any case, pass through the portal to arrive at a strange realm, one that houses a hanging puppet. Interact with it to learn that each door/portal you access causes the puppet to open one eye. The second portal Continue through the campaign until you’re able to visit the Mandate Encampment . That’s where you’ll find another portal for the Phantom Blade Zero Herald’s Illusion quest. Trek across the battlefields until you arrive at the Training Grounds to the north. Then, defeat a boss named Yubi, No. 21 Swordfighter Puppet. This lets you loot a component for the Illusory Pipa. Beyond that, you should see a portal back to the eerie chamber. The third portal The third and final portal is in the Mountain of Imprisonment. Do the main objective until you reach the shrine at the summit. Then, defeat the boss, Huangxing, to receive the Flying Guillotine Phantom Edge. The weapon can be used to aid in exploration, as it rotates dials that reveal hidden chambers. One dial is actually in the very shrine where you battled Huangxing. It opens a path to the depths of the mountain, where you’ll encounter a familiar face. We don’t want to spoil all the details, but this area also has a portal. Go through it and interact with the hanging puppet once more. It will then speak with you, before giving you the Puppet’s Tongue quest item. From left to right: The Three-Eyed Puppet's domains in the Valley of Lu, Mandate Encampment, and Mountain of Imprisonment. What’s inside and below the Crimson Manor? Now that you have the Puppet’s Tongue, it’s time to enter the Crimson Manor in Phantom Blade Zero. The library on the second floor has a bunch of books/lore fragments. There’s also Leng Tu's Memory Flower , the full set of which requires you to visit various regions. Next, go through the tunnel and gingerly make your way down the chasm. Land on the threads so you don’t take fall damage. At the bottom, you’ll see a foreboding sight, which leads to a battle against a boss known as the Puppet Scavenger. But that’s not all: Once the monster’s HP reaches 50%, another opponent, Acolyte Hansui, will freeze it. You have to defeat Hansui, taking care to avoid her ice-based attacks that can also freeze your character. Once Hansui’s dead, you need to finish off the Puppet Scavenger. Take out this big fella, as well as the frost acolyte that pops up. This bout grants three notable rewards: Alloyed Scythe Blade - The Soul Temper item used to modify the Hunter’s Chain Sickle. Crystal Puppet (Yang) - A special item related to a certain ending. Hansui’s Frost Mask - One of four key items needed to gain access to a mysterious location. That does it for our guide on how to enter the Crimson Manor in Phantom Blade Zero. Hansui is just one boss that you need to bring down. You need all four Acolyte Masks if you want to venture further into another secret area.
