Phantom Blade Zero Into the Deadly Trap requires visiting the Order's Tavern in Pangzhen. During Town of Death, open the hidden entrance beneath the wine-yard pavilion and follow the underground route to Myst. UNSURE method detail: the authored guides describe the concealed switch differently, so this draft keeps both descriptions visible.

Find the entrance behind the tavern

Follow the main quest to the tavern building and enter its wine-jar courtyard. The important landmark is the pavilion with a hollow space beneath its floor, not a distant cave or a new region entrance.

The sources give these two descriptions:

Source	What it tells you to inspect
PC Gamer, Sean Martin	Break the large black jar behind the pavilion to expose a crank, then operate it to open the cellar.
All Things How	Pull the lion-head ring on a stone post beside the pavilion stairs to move the floor aside.

Both describe opening the pavilion floor into the underground route. We have not independently established whether the jar conceals the same fitting, whether both actions occur in sequence or whether the descriptions reflect different states. Do not turn them into a guaranteed two-switch puzzle.

Once the floor is open

Drop through the opening beneath the pavilion.
Follow the room's lit braziers toward the far end.
Use the opening beyond the final brazier to climb toward the stone gate.
Approach Myst, let the meeting scene finish and check Steam after the visit records.

The published approach describes Cavalrybane in the nearby street as optional for reaching the tavern. Phantom Blade Zero Three Wardens Fall trophy covers the separate grouped-boss objective. This achievement's official wording does not require finishing that group, repairing the Pipa or tempering ten weapons.

If you have arrived but it has not recorded

Hizzle suggests recording your current quest objective, whether the floor opened and whether Myst's scene played. These distinguish a missing entrance interaction from an already completed visit; they are not a tested unlock repair. Exact switch state, unlock timing and replay recovery remain UNSURE. The patch's general mechanism/progression fixes do not establish a specific fix for this entrance.

Steam-only entry relative to the retained PS5 list. Base game, single player, no online step described; first story playthrough. Hizzle difficulty estimate 2/10, time UNSURE. Main-story visit; missed-unlock recovery UNSURE. PC 1.0302256 reviewed; no Hizzle in-game testing.
