Phantom Blade Zero Saw It Through trophy requires defeating the Saw and the Crusher through both health bars on Mount Soulrend. The continuation is The Crusher, Earthshattering Form. Single source combat method: the detailed moves and achievement notification come from one firsthand-described account; other authors corroborate the route and rewards.
Protect Cui's reward before entering
On the mountain approach, check Cui before the boss. ObsiEez places its final interaction west of The Last Mandate Encampment, beside the couple in the fenced area. Completing the tale before this fight conditions the later Baishan Headband reward; the boss trophy itself asks for the defeat. Do not treat a missing accessory as proof that the boss trophy failed.
Activate The Giant's Lair Bell and descend toward the frozen arena. The combat source puts the approach at roughly 40 metres and the first bar at 185,100 HP on Pathbreaker. These are Single source references, not exact navigation or health guarantees across every setting.
Read both combatants, then the changed form
The AllThingsHow account keeps the Saw riding on the giant during the first bar. Watch both the giant's ball-and-chain motion and the rider's spear rather than aiming your attention only at the larger body. It reports wide swings, a leaping slam and a ball impact that hides the view in snow for about 2–3 seconds.
When that bar ends, the giant breaks through the ice and continues without the rider. Earthshattering Form still uses broad ball sweeps and slams. That scene is a continuation, not a new optional boss that can be skipped after the trophy should have appeared.
Hizzle's suggested practice: when visibility disappears, avoid starting a long attack against a target you can no longer read. Re-establish position and the next tell before spending the damage window. This is a planning exercise, not a tested invulnerability trick. Phantom Blade Zero beginner guide: start here and Phantom Blade Zero best early build: a starter kit give the broader practice routine.
UNSURE: exact safe angles, any poison-cleansing requirement and phase persistence after quitting are not independently checked here. We do not promise a guaranteed small-leg cheese, permanent stagger loop or a fixed kill time.
Claim Bonesaw, then stop at the final warning
The combat source reports Bonesaw and the Saw It Through notification together. Check Phantom Blade Zero Soul Tempering: how it works before planning its later upgrade; the new weapon cannot be your prerequisite for the fight that awards it.
Continue out of the cave toward The Last Chance. Preserve a manual save and review Phantom Blade Zero how to get the true ending before going beyond that warning: the regional guide says you are committed to the final fights until completing the ending. Phantom Blade Zero All Dreams Must End trophy covers Meng Hua after Leng Tu.
PS5 Silver, story-related, base game, one player. Hizzle difficulty estimate 6/10; duration UNSURE. PC 1.0302256 reviewed; exact PS5 parity UNSURE. No Hizzle in-game testing.
