Card No. 06·38628 · Updated · Standard formula, shown below

This article lists the known accessories in Phantom Blade Zero and explains what each one does, where to find them, and how to build around them. You will get a clear inventory of every accessory currently confirmed in the game, plus practical tips on choosing the right ones for your playstyle.

What Are Accessories in Phantom Blade Zero?

Accessories are equippable items that provide passive bonuses to your character. Unlike weapons and armor, which change your attack patterns and defense stats, accessories modify specific attributes like damage output, survivability, or resource management. In Phantom Blade Zero, each accessory occupies one of three accessory slots, and you can swap them freely between missions. The game does not require you to repair or maintain accessories, but some are tied to specific quest lines or hidden areas.

Full Accessories List

Below is the complete list of accessories confirmed in the game as of the latest public build. The list is organized by the type of bonus they provide.

  • Jade Pendant – Increases attack power by 5% when your health is above 50%.
  • Iron Talisman – Reduces physical damage taken by 3%.
  • Silk Charm – Increases movement speed by 10% while sprinting.
  • Blood Amulet – Restores 2% of your maximum health every 5 seconds while in combat.
  • Storm Ring – Boosts lightning damage by 10%.
  • Ember Brooch – Increases fire damage by 10%.
  • Frost Pendant – Increases ice damage by 10%.
  • Shadow Cloak – Increases stealth attack damage by 15%.
  • Warrior’s Seal – Adds 5% critical hit chance.
  • Sage’s Orb – Reduces skill cooldown time by 8%.
  • Guardian’s Idol – Grants a shield that absorbs 50 damage once per mission.
  • Raven’s Eye – Increases the range of your lock-on by 20%.

Note that some accessories have a rarity tier (common, rare, epic, legendary) that affects the magnitude of the bonus. The percentages listed above are for the base rarity; higher tiers increase the numbers accordingly.

How to Obtain Accessories

Accessories are obtained through a variety of methods, and some are easier to get than others. Here are the main ways to acquire them:

  • Main story quests – Several accessories are given as guaranteed rewards for completing specific story missions. For example, the Jade Pendant is rewarded early in the game.
  • Side quests – Many side quests offer accessories as rewards, especially those given by NPCs in the main hub.
  • Boss drops – Certain bosses have a chance to drop unique accessories. The Storm Ring, for instance, is dropped by the Thunder Lord.
  • Chests and hidden areas – Exploring the world thoroughly can reveal chests that contain accessories. Some are tucked away in optional areas.
  • Merchants – A few merchants sell accessories in exchange for in-game currency. The selection rotates periodically.
  • Crafting – At certain crafting stations, you can combine materials to create specific accessories. Recipes are found throughout the world.

Keep in mind that some accessories are only available in a single playthrough, so if you miss them, you may need to start New Game+ to get another chance.

How to Choose the Right Accessories

Choosing the right accessories depends on your build and playstyle. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Offensive builds – Prioritize accessories that boost damage, crit chance, or elemental damage. For example, if you use fire skills, the Ember Brooch is a must-have.
  • Defensive builds – Focus on accessories that reduce damage taken, provide healing, or grant shields. The Iron Talisman and Blood Amulet are solid choices.
  • Hybrid builds – Mix one offensive and one defensive accessory, then round out with a utility one like the Sage’s Orb for cooldown reduction.
  • Boss fights – Consider swapping to accessories that counter the boss’s element. For instance, use the Frost Pendant against fire-based enemies.
  • Exploration – The Silk Charm and Raven’s Eye are great for traversing large maps and spotting enemies from a distance.

You can change accessories at any time from the pause menu, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations.

Common Mistakes and Misconceptions

One common mistake is assuming that all accessories stack with each other. In Phantom Blade Zero, bonus types that are the same percentage (e.g., two 5% attack boosts) do not stack additively; instead, the game takes the highest value. For example, if you have two accessories that each give 5% attack, you only get 5% total, not 10%. However, different types of bonuses (e.g., attack power and critical damage) do stack multiplicatively.

Another misconception is that accessories are useless once you get higher-level gear. In fact, accessories can be upgraded at a blacksmith using materials, so they remain viable throughout the game. Upgrading typically increases the bonus percentage by a small amount, up to a cap.

Finally, some players think that the Guardian’s Idol shield is permanent. It is not – it only activates once per mission and does not regenerate until you rest at a checkpoint or start a new mission.

Comparison with Other Equipment

Accessories are distinct from weapons and armor in that they do not change your moveset or visual appearance. Weapons determine your attack combos and special moves, while armor affects your physical defense and sometimes provides set bonuses. Accessories are purely passive and can be swapped on the fly, making them the most flexible part of your loadout. For example, you might equip the Storm Ring for a lightning-based boss, then switch to the Iron Talisman for a physical-heavy enemy.

In terms of rarity, legendary accessories are not always better than epic ones; it depends on your build. A legendary accessory with a bonus you don’t use is less valuable than a rare one that fits your playstyle.

Costs and Upgrading

Upgrading accessories costs in-game currency and materials. The cost scales with the rarity and current upgrade level. For a common accessory, the first upgrade might cost 500 gold and one piece of iron ore. Legendary accessories require rare materials that are often found in optional bosses or hidden chests. There is no real-world money involved; everything is earned through gameplay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell or dismantle accessories?

Yes, you can sell accessories to merchants for gold, or dismantle them for crafting materials. However, be cautious about dismantling unique accessories that cannot be obtained again. The game does not warn you before you dismantle a one-of-a-kind item.

Do accessories carry over to New Game+?

Yes, all your accessories carry over to New Game+. You keep everything in your inventory, including upgraded accessories. This is helpful for tackling higher difficulties.

Are there any hidden accessories?

Yes, there are a few hidden accessories that are not part of any quest. For example, the Raven’s Eye is found in a secret room behind a waterfall in the second area. You need to break a cracked wall to access it.

What is the best accessory in the game?

There is no single best accessory; it depends on your build. However, the Sage’s Orb (cooldown reduction) and the Warrior’s Seal (crit chance) are widely considered top-tier for most offensive builds. For defensive players, the Guardian’s Idol provides a life-saving shield.

Can I have duplicate accessories?

You cannot equip two of the same accessory, but you can hold multiple copies in your inventory. This is useful if you want to upgrade one and keep another at a lower level for different situations.

Do accessories affect multiplayer or co-op?

Yes, accessories work in co-op mode. Each player has their own accessory slots, and bonuses apply individually. There are no accessories that specifically boost co-op partners.
