Phantom Blade Zero how to get Reflex Device: follow the tower-base mechanism route after the Hunt, using the camp-gate key and Inspection Crank. Single source route: the full sequence below is available here through a published Maxroll-derived digest; its underlying Maxroll pages could not be opened directly in this audit.

The reported route

  1. Defeat the Hunt. Use his Phantom Edge to retrieve the Sha-Chi Tower Base Camp Gate key from the tower top.
  2. Collect the Inspection Crank from the hostile Warden below the summit. After using it at the furnace, remove it and keep it for this route.
  3. At Creek Valley Plains Entrance, unlock the camp door and find the elevator toward Crimson Manor.
  4. Take the passage on the elevator's right and continue to Valley Sha-Chi Tower Base.
  5. Use the crank at the nearby socket mechanism to reveal Reflex Device.

The digest distinguishes this from the later chest guarded by two Shadow Wardens, which it assigns to Vessel Restorative. Reflex Device is not described as a direct Hunt drop.

What does it do?

The unpolished effect is a 15% wider Parry and Perfect Dodge timing window. Published polish entries give 20% at +1 and 25% at +2. These are relative timing-window changes, not automatic success rates or a promise of a particular number of milliseconds.

AllThingsHow reports these bills, still Single source for costs:

Polish Polishing bill Reported cost to buy the crystal
+1 5,280 Remnant Dust + Tainted Crystal Shard 7,440 Remnant Dust
+2 7,920 Remnant Dust + Refined Indigo Crystal 9,920 Remnant Dust

Do not confuse the polishing fee with the separate crystal purchase. Sources also disagree about starting accessory-slot counts, so we do not promise a particular initial loadout here. Exact recovery after later story cutoffs is UNSURE.

The standalone Inspection Crank pickup now has two named authored walkthroughs: defeat the hostile Warden below the summit, use the furnace, then remove the crank before leaving. That resolves the pickup gap; it does not independently verify the whole Reflex Device route. Phantom Blade Zero Spectral Blade trophy covers the separate later quest visits.
