Phantom Blade Zero The Hunt trophy

Phantom Blade Zero The Hunt trophy requires winning the later Great Waterfall fight at the end of Weeping Creek Valley, including the Sixfold Scythe phase. Surviving his opening cart appearance does not finish this trophy method. Single source trophy method: region, combat and reward accounts are compared, with independent complete platform-unlock confirmation still missing.

Get to the rematch

Continue beyond the Outpost and Sha-Chi Tower story route to Great Waterfall. Activate its Bell before entering the pool. The Inspection Crank route covers the tower's hostile Warden pickup. The later Base Camp Key return uses the Chain Sickle reward from this fight; it is not equipment you must already possess to start it.

Use your current early build and healing upgrades. The earlier cart sequence belongs to the opening road-escape context, not a second location to farm for this Silver trophy.

First phase: make the chain attacks readable

1. At distance, move across the line of a thrown chain rather than simply backing away. Its reach can punish a heal started while he is still preparing an attack.
2. When he rushes in, defend his arrival and the remaining sickle string. An apparent pause may lead to another hit.
3. Watch his airborne approach. If you miss the first defensive timing, avoid committing to a counter in the middle of the remaining sequence.
4. For the long hook grab described by AllThingsHow, dodge near the chain's arrival; an immediate dodge at the start of the throw can be too early.
5. Use a brief recovery window for medicine or damage, then watch his next movement. Switch main weapons when available if Sha-Chi is depleted.

UNSURE: sources use red-counter terminology differently, especially in the Hellwalker account. We do not combine that language into a universal instruction to parry every red attack, or publish an exact controller button sequence without reconciliation.

Second phase: Sixfold Scythe

The additional arms bring longer strings and more pressure. Keep tracking the whole sequence instead of treating the first pair of swings as its end. The authored Hellwalker guide reports a retry checkpoint at phase two. That report does not prove persistence after quitting, loading another save or changing difficulty.

AllThingsHow reports 18,720 HP for phase one on Pathbreaker/Wayfarer and 20,000 Remnant Dust after winning. These are Single source numeric references, not independently measured universal values. They do not supply a verified second-phase health total.

Take the Chain Sickle back to earlier routes

Winning grants Hunter's Chain Sickle, which enables grapple-point returns. Use it to revisit the summit key route and continue toward Reflex Device route; it also helps reach pickups on the next Crimson Forest approach. The tool reward and the separate treasure/ending tales should stay on different checklists.

Current PC 1.0302256 was reviewed. Its named Hua grab reduction concerns the Bride on two difficulties, not a confirmed Hunt-specific reduction. Exact PS5 parity remains UNSURE. No Hizzle in-game testing is claimed.
