The whole arc begins in the Village of Lu while collecting <strong>Firefly\u2019s Memory Flowers<\/strong>. After defeating a secret boss named Dusk, you\u2019re tasked with finding a means to enter a strange realm.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-village-of-lu-yanru-s-acolyte-mask\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Village of Lu: Yanru\u2019s Acolyte Mask<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can obtain the first Acolyte Mask in Phantom Blade Zero in the Village of Lu. Tackle the main quest objective normally until you reach the farming fields in the northern part of the map. There, you\u2019ll see a lone scarecrow right across from a training area with shield puppets. Interacting with the scarecrow leads to a boss battle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your opponent, Yanru, is an adept pyromancer:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>She\u2019ll blast multiple fireballs in quick succession, so you have to sidestep to get close to her.<\/li>\n<li>Whenever a large explosion aura appears under your character, wait for the red flash and do a perfect dodge to teleport and strike her.<\/li>\n<li>She periodically floats in mid-air, calling down duplicates that also shoot flaming orbs. Keep dodging\/sidestepping until the last one in the sequence. This, too, is an explosion aura that allows for a teleport strike if you perform a perfect dodge.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re having trouble with the bout, you can wait until you\u2019re able to explore Pangzhen to obtain the <strong>Flameward accessory<\/strong>, as it helps mitigate fire damage and the burning effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-15 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1939885\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1939885\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/phantom-blade-zero-acolyte-mask-scarecrow-1a.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1939885\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1939884\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1939884\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/phantom-blade-zero-acolyte-mask-scarecrow-1b.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1939884\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Yanru scarecrow location (left) and boss fight (right).<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-pangzhen-leiting-s-acolyte-mask\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pangzhen: Leiting\u2019s Acolyte Mask<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Phantom Blade Zero Acolyte Mask comes from the sprawling town of Pangzhen, though it\u2019s going to take you a bit of effort. You need to acquire the Flaming Mane by beating the Lion Dance Grandmaster as part of the main quest. This Phantom Edge lets you burn brambles and vines, allowing you to access the southwestern cliffside section of the map.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assuming you\u2019re doing Old Man Gen\u2019s quest, go to the marked location to his home and follow the sloping path. Just a stone\u2019s throw away, you\u2019ll find a scarecrow that\u2019s wreathed in lightning. Of course, the boss that you face, Leiting, also utilizes the power of electricity:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>She frequently zaps you with lightning and she can create an electrified field that expands outward.<\/li>\n<li>She can also spawn multiple circular fields that call down a thunderstrike.<\/li>\n<li>The Thunderward accessory, which is in Pangzhen as well, helps with this encounter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-16 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1939886\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1939886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/phantom-blade-zero-acolyte-mask-scarecrow-2a.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1939886\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1939887\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1939887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/phantom-blade-zero-acolyte-mask-scarecrow-2b.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1939887\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Leiting scarecrow location (left) and boss fight (right).<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-meigu-lake-guhe-s-venom-mask\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meigu Lake: Guhe\u2019s Venom Mask<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the next Acolyte Mask, you want to head to Meigu Lake, specifically the Meigu Village East Dock. Upon reaching the southern part of the island, you should spot a scarecrow surrounded by a flock of birds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your opponent, Guhe, utilizes poisonous toxins to wear you down. This isn\u2019t a battle of attrition because of how quickly your HP gets depleted.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can mitigate poison damage by equipping the Preservation Jar accessory from the Crimson Forest. Likewise, the Green Serpent Brew removes all status effects and improves your resistances.<\/li>\n<li>Guhe likes to summon clones that also toss venomous globules at your character. Just keep sidestepping at this stage.<\/li>\n<li>When a green circle appears underneath you, wait for the red flash and time your dodge precisely. This lets you teleport to the real Guhe, allowing you to strike him with impunity for several seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-17 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1939889\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1939889\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/phantom-blade-zero-acolyte-mask-scarecrow-3a.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1939889\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1939890\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1939890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/phantom-blade-zero-acolyte-mask-scarecrow-3b.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1939890\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Guhe scarecrow location (left) and boss fight (right).<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-crimson-manor-hansui-s-frost-mask\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crimson Manor: Hansui\u2019s Frost Mask<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting this Phantom Blade Zero Acolyte Mask can be quite a challenge. That\u2019s because you actually need to <strong>reach the depths of the Crimson Manor<\/strong>. Once you\u2019ve done that, you have to face not one, but two bosses&#8211;a duo boss fight, if you will.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, you\u2019ll battle the Puppet Scavenger. Its slow and cumbersome attacks hit hard, though they&#8217;re fairly easy to avoid. Just watch out because this creature can smash and gobble up Soul. However, once the Puppet Scavenger reaches 50% HP, the second boss, Hansui, will show up. She won&#8217;t betray Ma Teng, but she will cast ice spells.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ice spells can chill and, eventually, freeze your character. If you get frozen, you won\u2019t be able to act or move for several seconds. Your only recourse is to use the aforementioned Green Serpent Brew, which has limited charges.<\/li>\n<li>The Frostward accessory does help with mitigation, though it\u2019s found in a snowed-in area in Crimson Forest. In our playthrough, we only obtained it near the tail-end of the campaign and we\u2019re unable to confirm the exact moment when the map gets altered or if it\u2019s tied to a particular action in a side quest.<\/li>\n<li>The Puppet Scavenger will remain frozen while you\u2019re fighting Hansui. Once she\u2019s fallen, you can whittle down the creature\u2019s remaining health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> This encounter rewards you with not only the Frost Mask, but also two other goodies:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alloyed Scythe Blade &#8211; A Soul Temper material for the Hunter\u2019s Chain Sickle.<\/li>\n<li>Crystal Puppet Eye: Yang &#8211; A key item needed for the secret\/true ending.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-18 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1939891\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1939891\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/phantom-blade-zero-acolyte-mask-scarecrow-4a.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1939891\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1939892\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1939892\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/phantom-blade-zero-acolyte-mask-scarecrow-4b.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1939892\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Hansui scarecrow location (left) and duo boss fight (right).<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-how-to-use-the-acolyte-masks\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use the Acolyte Masks<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After collecting all four Acolyte Masks in Phantom Blade Zero, make your way to the northwestern part of Meigu Lake.
