Mandate Encampment is the 5th region in Phantom Blade Zero and holds a total of 60 collectibles. This detailed guide will help you find every item in chronological order, making sure you don’t miss any trophies needed for that coveted 100% completion. Keep an eye out for missable items as they are marked for your convenience.
If you’re not careful, you could end up missing a few collectibles. It’s crucial to be aware of certain enemies that transform into hostile NPCs when you least expect it, potentially leaving you empty-handed. Approach each encounter wisely, and don’t hesitate to backtrack if needed.
Before diving into the collectibles, ensure you are fully equipped and have unlocked any essential abilities or items that might aid in your collection journey. This way, you can tackle everything without frustration.
Bug Warning: Be cautious with the Memory Flower collectibles here. Some require you to defeat a friendly NPC who turns hostile after clearing surrounding enemies.
If you find yourself not getting the Flower after defeating them, reload your autosave and try again. Defeating them before they turn hostile significantly increases your chances of a successful drop.
