Phantom Blade Zero Data Methodology

Values marked Calculated are worked out from the game data with these rules.

• Enemy stats at a level: every enemy has a base value per attribute (HP, Sha-Chi, attack) and the game's monster curve adds to it by level. Value at level L = Base + Base × curve(L), using the game's own curves.
• Enemy level: the area level of the place the enemy spawns, from the game's area level table. Bosses placed by the story use their region's level range.
• Remnant Dust per kill: the minimum and maximum the combat loot table gives at the enemy's level.
• Upgrade totals (Remnant Dust and materials to max a weapon, Phantom Edge, accessory, medicine or the talent tree) are plain sums of the per-level costs in the game tables.
• Map positions: the game ships hand-placed anchor points that tie world coordinates to each region map. We project every placed object with those anchors (a local fit over the nearest ones); tested against anchors left out, the error is 0.3 to 1.0% of the map width.
• How to get an item: chests and pickups come from their placement in the level plus the loot table row they point to; boss, quest and story rewards come from the flow graph that grants them.

Achievement unlock rates are Steam's public global statistics for Phantom Blade Zero, refreshed every few hours. If Steam cannot be reached, the page shows the last snapshot we saved. PS5 trophy status comes from the PS5 trophy ids in the game's achievement table.

How much has a known source

Rows with at least one known way to get them, out of all rows. The rest are granted in ways the data does not tie to a place, so their pages say so instead of guessing.

Limits

What these pages do not show, and why.

• Difficulty: the multipliers for Wayfarer, Pathbreaker, Hellwalker and 66 Days are in the game's compiled code, not in its data tables, so enemy HP and damage are shown before difficulty is applied.
• Later Cycles (New Game+): accessory tiers for later Cycles are in the data and shown, but any extra enemy scaling per Cycle is not, so it is not applied.
• Story items: some gear and items are handed over by cutscenes or scripts with no fixed spot in the world. Those pages name the region or quest when the data has it and otherwise say no fixed spot is known.
• Languages: Polish, Turkish, Czech, Arabic and Indonesian have no game text, so game names on those pages stay in English.
• Unnamed entries: a few enemy attacks have no name in the game; where we label one from its internal id it is marked with an asterisk.

Updates

We extract the game again after each patch and reload the database; the build number at the foot of every page tells you which version you are looking at. If a number does not match your game, the report button on any page reaches us.
