Phantom Blade Zero Phantom Edges: all locations
Short answer: Phantom Edges are your secondary weapons: you carry two alongside two main weapons and swap them outside combat. Game8 counts 26 at release; the table lists the 25 whose source is confirmed, with type, effect and how to get each. Most drop from bosses. Hunter's Chain Sickle is the first one you get, and Game8 ranks Flying Dagger best overall.

Where guides disagree
- Effect values differ between sources: Jewel's Knot +15% HP (allthings.how) vs +10% (games.gg); Preservation Jar -50% vs -30%; Silent Wrap -50% vs -40%; Flameward -50% vs -40%; Thunderward -50% vs -30%; Congeal Talisman -50% vs -30%; Manor Medicine Pot 8% vs 15%. This page uses the allthings.how values; verify in game.
- Quick Hand Pendant location: allthings.how lists it near the Thieves' Camp bell, while games.gg says it is the reward for freeing Quick Hand Zhang and visiting his hideout.
- Counterstrike Bracers and Miraculous Scabbard: allthings.how calls them the first and second Long Pillar trial rewards, while games.gg places both under the Man in Black fight. Regions here follow games.gg.
- Game8 says there are 26 Phantom Edges at release; the list here has 25 (from keengamer), and Game8's list pages are empty in the page source.
- Game8's Phantom Edge stats (damage and guard break) are early impressions from around Meigu Lake and may change later.
- Lingran's Pendant may be the same item as fextralife's Pendant of Righteousness (unverified); Broken Vessel is described as heavy-attack combos (allthings.how) vs Triangle combos that consume Sha-Chi (Game8).
