If you are exploring every region in Phantom Blade Zero, collecting Memory Flowers and Memory Flower Petals is an important part of improving Soul’s survivability. These collectibles are scattered throughout the world, and many of them are easy to miss because they are hidden inside buildings, placed beside Bells, or tucked away along optional paths. Some also require you to defeat a boss or unlock a previously inaccessible route.
In this guide, I will show you where to find the documented Memory Flowers and Petals in Crimson Forest, Village of Lu, Pangzhen, and Meigu Lake. I have organized the locations by region and included the directions, collection requirements, and memory story associated with each collectible. This should make it easier to track your progress while exploring instead of having to revisit the same locations repeatedly.
The main reason to collect these items is their permanent Maximum HP bonuses. Depending on the memory, completing the entire flower collection can increase your Max HP by 5%, 7%, or 10%. Some memories require you to collect petals across several regions, so you may need to return to earlier areas after unlocking new abilities or defeating certain bosses. I recommend checking the regional Map Completion screen as you progress and collecting every petal you encounter.
Phantom Blade Zero Memory Flowers and Petals Locations Guide
Memory Flowers and Memory Flower Petals are progression materials and narrative collectibles in Phantom Blade Zero. They allow you to discover fragments of the world’s history while permanently increasing Soul’s Maximum HP when you complete the associated memory.
Unlike ordinary treasure, these collectibles often tell a story through short scenes and conversations. The memories reveal details about the Mandate, the Wulin, Transcension, the Discordance, and the people affected by the events unfolding throughout the game.
Memory Flower Rewards Explained
Each memory has its own collection requirement and HP reward.
| Collection Reward | Maximum HP Bonus Upon Completion |
|---|---|
| Whole Memory Flower left by Inanis | +5% Max HP |
| Memories requiring two petals | Usually +5% Max HP |
| Memories requiring three petals | Usually +7% Max HP |
| Memories requiring four petals | +7% Max HP |
| Memories requiring six petals | +10% Max HP |
The bonus is awarded when you complete the entire memory, not when you pick up an individual petal. For example, collecting the first petal of Inanis’ Memory Flower does not complete the memory because you still need the remaining five.
The petal numbers in this guide follow the documented collection sequence. You do not necessarily have to collect the petals in numerical order, and the Roman numerals used in the memory lore indicate story chapters rather than the order in which you must collect them.
All Memory Flower Locations in Crimson Forest
Crimson Forest contains several Memory Flowers connected to the Mandate disciples, Iron Fever, Inanis, and Bai Chilian. Some can be collected as soon as you enter the region, while others require you to defeat bosses or unlock routes with special equipment.
1. Memory Flower Left by Inanis
Location: Crimson Forest entrance
Requirement: One whole flower
Reward: +5% Max HP
This is one of the easiest Memory Flowers to collect because it is located directly on the ground as soon as you enter Crimson Forest.
Look around the entrance immediately after arriving in the region. You will find the flower left behind by Lady Inanis.
This collectible also introduces an important concept behind Memory Flowers: areas affected by Sha-Chi can preserve memories that would otherwise be lost. Inanis explains that these flowers allow you to see those memories and listen to the voices of people connected to them.
Since this is a complete flower rather than a multi-petal memory, you do not need to search for additional pieces.

How much Max HP can Memory Flowers provide?
The documented memories provide bonuses of +5%, +7%, or +10% Max HP, depending on the memory and its completion requirements.

Can you miss Memory Flower Petals?
Some petals are tucked away in optional paths, buildings, caves, or areas requiring special equipment. To avoid leaving any behind, explore thoroughly and check your collection progress regularly.
Memory Flowers are worth collecting in Phantom Blade Zero because they improve Soul’s Maximum HP while revealing the stories of the people affected by the game’s events. Some memories require only two petals, while others need six pieces scattered across several regions.
I recommend collecting petals whenever you find them, checking buildings and areas beside Bells, and revisiting earlier regions after unlocking equipment such as Zhuo Bi’s Greatshield or Flaming Mane. These steps will help you collect more memories while avoiding unnecessary backtracking.
Keep in mind that some locations in this guide are based on incomplete location information. If a memory still shows missing petals after you have visited every listed location, use your collection progress to identify what remains and verify the additional locations before considering the memory complete.
