Phantom Blade Zero Nothing Goes to Waste trophy requires defeating the Puppet Scavenger beneath Crimson Manor in Weeping Creek Valley. Open Mute with Puppet's Tongue, descend to Scavenger Pens and complete the encounter. UNSURE method: two sources describe Hansui's arrival differently; do not assume the Scavenger becomes harmless while fighting the acolyte.
A first-region location with later access requirements
Larc's manor route requires all three Herald's Illusion visits: Village of Lu, Mandate Encampment and Mountain of Imprisonment. Interact with the hanging puppet after the third visit to obtain the tongue. Phantom Blade Zero Crossroads of Blood trophy covers the mountain's Flying Guillotine passage. Phantom Blade Zero Forbidden Arts Beneath the Lake explains the repaired-Pipa route into that mountain.
With the tongue, return to Mute below Sha-Chi Tower and open the manor entrance.
Descend the shaft using its threads as landing points. Activate Scavenger Pens Bell, rest, then enter the flooded arena below. Hizzle's planning suggestion: secure the return point before experimenting with a drop; a long runback teaches nothing about the boss's next attack.
What changes when Hansui arrives?
| Source | Account |
|---|---|
| Larc, GAMES.GG | At 50% Scavenger health, Hansui freezes it. Defeat Hansui, then finish the Scavenger. |
| AllThingsHow | Hansui joins partway through and attacks at the same time, with two health bars and overlapping ice/blade pressure. |
UNSURE: the trigger percentage is Single source, and the accounts do not establish a shared freeze duration or safe interval. Keep both enemies visible if both are active. Winning against Hansui alone is not the stated Scavenger trophy condition. Do not interpret a temporary pause as proof that the larger enemy cannot resume attacking.
The AllThingsHow moves reference describes broad blade sweeps, a rolling approach and Hansui's ice spikes/pillars. Leave room to move instead of retreating blindly into an ice obstruction. Exact counters, freeze behavior and difficulty-specific timing still need a complete independent method check. Use Phantom Blade Zero how to upgrade weapons for preparation rather than a guessed minimum damage requirement.
Collect the quest rewards
Both accounts list Alloyed Scythe Blade, Crystal Puppet Eye [Yang] and Hansui's Frost Mask. They feed separate Phantom Blade Zero Soul Tempering: how it works, Phantom Blade Zero how to get the true ending and four-mask objectives. Check the encounter's completion and your trophy list before leaving; a quest item's appearance is not proof that the achievement unlocked.
PS5 Silver, optional boss, base game, one player. Hizzle difficulty estimate 6/10; duration UNSURE. PC 1.0302256 reviewed without a named fix reconciling the two accounts; exact PS5 parity UNSURE. No Hizzle in-game testing.
