Phantom Blade Zero Sword Against the Seven-Stars

Phantom Blade Zero Sword Against the Seven-Stars requires defeating the Chief Disciple in Mandate Encampment. Follow the Three Towers route, and spare Red at the earlier crossing if you want her later collectibles. Single source method: the detailed arena approach comes from one authored regional walkthrough; related item references do not independently verify every combat step.

Reach Three Towers without losing Red's rewards

1. Continue from Main Encampment Gate after obtaining Bashpole. Break the floor and follow the camp route to Dovecote.
2. Climb the building's scaffolding route until you encounter Red, the Mysterious Swordswoman. ObsiEez warns against defeating her here. Swing across the chain instead.
3. Beyond the crossing, Bashpole opens the floor route and a shortcut back toward Dovecote. Continue along the wooden stairs and upper scaffolding to Three Towers.
4. Follow the route onward to the Chief Disciple fight. The same walkthrough says a surviving Red joins halfway through phase two.
5. After winning, collect the arena rewards and activate Tower Rear Exit. Red's Memory Flower and Twin Fish Pendant are separate missable rewards if she was defeated earlier.

Sparing Red is a collectible-protection instruction. The PS5 trophy requirement is the Chief Disciple's defeat, so this page does not turn her survival into an independently proven trophy prerequisite. Use Phantom Blade Zero Listen to Every Flower trophy and Phantom Blade Zero Collector's Notes trophy for those separate counts.

What to collect after winning

Both the regional route and the separate Seven-Stars tale reference identify Swordsman's Summon as a reward. AllThingsHow also places the Training Grounds Key at this kill and says the six disciple Memory Flowers appear afterward. Collecting those six finishes a different collection tale; do not delay checking this boss trophy while searching for them.

Hizzle's preparation suggestion: use a short, familiar punish from Phantom Blade Zero best early build: a starter kit, preserve medicine for changes in the fight, and avoid concentrating on one opponent so completely that a new arrival leaves the screen. Exact formation counters, phase timing and a complete independent combat method remain UNSURE; no damage-loop or cheese claim is supplied.

Before using the Training Grounds Key to continue, read Phantom Blade Zero A Wanderer's Honor trophy. The regional walkthrough warns that defeating Yubi closes the unfinished Baishan tale. That later cutoff is not the same as defeating the Chief Disciple.

PS5 Silver, optional boss, base game, one player. Hizzle difficulty estimate 5/10; duration UNSURE. PC 1.0302256 reviewed; exact PS5 parity UNSURE. No Hizzle in-game testing.
