Scarlet Wraithblade Location & How to Get in Phantom Blade Zero
Last updated: · Spoilers: early optional boss and quest item only
Prerequisites: Beat Hua, Deadly Betrothed First
You cannot obtain Scarlet Wraithblade before defeating Hua, Deadly Betrothed. Hua is optional for the main path, but she is required for the weapon, the Twin Flesh Lilies, and Yu’er’s Flesh Lily tale progression.
If you have not beaten her yet, use the Hua Boss Guide before continuing.
Scarlet Wraithblade Location: Step-by-Step
Scarlet Wraithblade is awarded in Flesh Lily Fields, below Sha-Chi Tower in Weeping Creek Valley. Start from the Valley Sha-Chi Tower Bell, then follow the route into Hua’s arena.
- Step 1 — Start at the Valley Sha-Chi Tower Bell. Travel to the Valley Sha-Chi Tower Bell in Weeping Creek Valley. It is the nearest reliable checkpoint for the Hua route.
- Step 2 — Go behind Sha-Chi Tower. Face the tower, then move around the rear of the structure instead of following the main route forward. Look for the lower path toward the flower clearing.
- Step 3 — Enter Flesh Lily Fields and defeat Hua. Follow the lower route into Flesh Lily Fields. Entering the clearing triggers the Hua, Deadly Betrothed encounter. Defeat Hua to receive Scarlet Wraithblade directly as the boss reward.
Flesh Lily Quest: What to Do After Beating Hua
After Hua is defeated, inspect the area near the pavilion to find the Twin Flesh Lilies.
- Return to Yu’er at the Weeping Creek Valley Outpost.
- Hand over the Twin Flesh Lilies.
- Complete the current stage of the Flesh Lily tale.
- Keep the returned Flesh Lily for the later quest sequence.
Important: this hand-in does not unlock Scarlet Wraithblade. The weapon is already yours after the Hua fight.
Scarlet Wraithblade Stats & Is It Worth It?
Scarlet Wraithblade is a two-handed boss weapon built for aggressive area control. Its combos create spider-lily danger zones that pressure enemies after a stagger or guard break. Use it when you want stronger guard pressure and space control; keep Jagged Steel if you prefer an immediate, simpler early-game moveset.
| Attribute | Scarlet Wraithblade | Jagged Steel | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weapon type | Two-handed boss weapon | Early-game main weapon | Depends on playstyle |
| Guard pressure | Strong shield-breaking potential | General-purpose pressure | Scarlet Wraithblade |
| Area control | Creates spider-lily danger zones | Direct melee focus | Scarlet Wraithblade |
| Ease of use | Requires spacing and delayed-burst planning | Faster to understand and use immediately | Jagged Steel |
| Best use case | Breaking guards and controlling enemy space | Reliable direct damage and simple combos | Depends on encounter |
Verdict: Use Scarlet Wraithblade for guard pressure, crowd control, and deliberate punish windows. Keep Jagged Steel if you value immediate, low-setup damage.
Is Scarlet Wraithblade Missable?
Based on current community testing and launch patch data, Scarlet Wraithblade is a guaranteed drop.
Defeat Hua, Deadly Betrothed and the weapon is awarded as her boss reward. Do not confuse the weapon with the Flesh Lily tale.
The Flesh Lily quest can be missed if you progress beyond its story cutoff before collecting the Twin Flesh Lilies and returning them to Yu’er. Complete the hand-in immediately after defeating Hua if you want to protect the quest, its later scenes, and completion progress.
Safe Order
- Defeat Hua, Deadly Betrothed.
- Collect the Twin Flesh Lilies beside the pavilion.
- Return to Yu’er at the Outpost.
- Hand in the flowers before advancing to the next major story area.
