Phantom Blade Zero Leave No Stone Unturned

Phantom Blade Zero Leave No Stone Unturned requires 10 complete Blackstones. Item cards describe four shards per Blackstone, making 40 shards the collection target. This UNSURE draft provides 40 distinct reported stops from one publisher's regional route. Other maps disagree on the total, and the achievement's interaction with ability requirements still needs confirmation.

Know which counter you are checking

Blackstone improves Attack Power and Guard Break; Amber increases maximum Sha-Chi. Published launch item cards give Blackstone's permanent increase as 10% per completed item. Individual shards first assemble automatically in groups of four.

At a Bell, open Train Abilities and inspect the Blackstone node's Obtained value. Some ability nodes require one Blackstone. That wording alone does not prove whether the item is consumed or merely checked, or whether this achievement uses a lifetime or currently held count. UNSURE: do not spend Remnant Dust expecting it to substitute for missing shards, and do not assume you must avoid all training or hoard ten unspent stones.

Forty-stop Blackstone checklist

Hizzle's numbers distinguish pickup stops. Bring keys and exploration tools as the story provides them; a locked route calls for a later visit, not an assumed bug. Phantom Blade Zero beginner guide: start here and Phantom Blade Zero missable trophies: early gates cover safer progression.

Weeping Creek Valley: 1–4

1. Outpost: take the Cell Key from the upper courtyard corpse; unlock the cave cell below the entrance.
2. Ruthless Archer Camp: clear the hilltop archers reached from Creek Valley Plains Entrance.
3. Long Pillar Overlook: descend toward the village, follow the river north and grapple to the platform chest.
4. Beneath the tower near that overlook: follow the cave stairs and defeat the monks.

Crimson Forest: 5–10

5. Early main-path cave: drop beneath the wall-running route to the enemy-side pickup.
6. Trail of Cages cave: below the cliffside path, chest in poisonous water near Zhang's route.
7. Forest Outpost Courtyard: after taking its key, check the neighboring building's chest.
8. Cliffside Lodge cellar: use the cellar crank; follow the plank route around the pit to the barred chamber.
9. Late Crimson Forest Sha-Chi Tower: climb from the Gate Bell, then check behind the next stair section.
10. Same tower's Base Bell: follow the wooden ramp down to the two chests.

20. Green Serpent House: grapple up behind the bell, cross the cave and clear the far courtyard.
21. Lion Dance Hall: open the bell-side door and defeat the courtyard group.

Phantom Blade Zero Turning the Tide guide distinguishes the two You Loong encounters. Phantom Blade Zero Forbidden Arts Beneath the Lake covers lake access requirements. Neither means every island is open on your first boat trip.

39. Covered Corridor: west of the bell, at the center of the circular walkways.
40. Perfect Vessel Estate: beside the bell in the large pillar room.

Resolve a missing stone without counting a stop twice

The four interior Estate pickups share Pangzhen's map completion total. They remain four separate pickups, not four additional regions. The roof chest by Mirage Estate's entrance Bell and the ground pickup beside Perfect Vessel Estate Bell have different landmarks; do not merge them because their names sound similar.

All Things How's map reports 41 markers, including seven at Meigu Lake; PowerPyx's regional route supplies 40, with six there. A marker total is not proof of 41 unique collectible shards. The discrepancy remains UNSURE, so this page does not invent a 41st location or claim a fully checked all-locations map.

Take a note of the regional deficit and the last whole-item count. If 40 recorded pickups do not produce ten complete Blackstones or the achievement, retain a save and report the region, build and counter. A reload, New Game Plus or hoarding requirement is not established by the sources.

Steam-only relative to the retained PS5 list. Base game, single player; no online step described. Hizzle difficulty estimate 4/10, time UNSURE. First playthrough plus late returns; missability and recovery need confirmation. PC 1.0302256 reviewed; no Hizzle in-game testing or Verified label.
