Polygon reported on the locations of all five hidden ribbons in the Village of Lu area for the upcoming action game Phantom Blade Zero. Finding every ribbon is required to finish the side quest titled Young Mistress, which was left behind by a character named Mu Xiaokui.
Collecting all the items provides extra story context through short dialogues. Furthermore, completing this optional task introduces an extra phase to the final boss fight in that specific region of the game.
Side Quest Details and Rewards
Players automatically begin the Young Mistress mission upon reaching the Village of Lu. When moving close to a hidden ribbon, users can hear the sound of bells tied to it.
- Finding all five items must be done before progressing to the Puppet Testing Grounds.
- Finishing the mission modifies the final area boss fight, making it more challenging.
- Defeating the tougher version of the boss grants the Fiend Saws swords along with the standard Wild Oriole Sword.
Ribbon Locations in the Village of Lu
While the objects do not need to be gathered in a strict numerical sequence, certain steps are required to uncover them across the map.
First and Second Ribbons
The first item is impossible to miss as Soul stops near the bridge leading to the Well of the Three Puppets. The second ribbon is located on a covered bridge that is initially blocked by threads, which are removed by defeating a Puppet Spearman found inside an upright coffin near the lake.
Third, Fourth, and Fifth Ribbons
The third item appears automatically on the bell after defeating the boss Master Bi Yuan of the Tianxuan Sect. The fourth item sits on a tree near the Temple of Blue Fireflies, and the final piece is located by a wooden bridge after unlocking and descending into the Well of the Three Puppets.
Why it matters
For players diving into Phantom Blade Zero, tracking down hidden collectibles alters gameplay by unlocking harder boss encounters and unique weapon rewards. Guides detailing these locations help fans avoid missing missable content before moving forward in the main story.
