Phantom Blade Zero Sha-Chi Amber Fragments Locations Guide

If you want to increase Soul’s Sha-Chi capacity in Phantom Blade Zero, collecting Sha-Chi Amber Fragments is an important part of exploration. These collectibles are scattered throughout different regions, and you can find them inside treasure chests, on the ground, or by defeating specific enemies.

In this guide, I’ll explain how Sha-Chi Amber Fragments work and where to find every documented fragment across Weeping Creek Valley, Crimson Forest, Village of Lu, Pangzhen, and Meigu Lake. I’ve organized the locations by region so you can check your progress while exploring.

Collecting these fragments is useful for both combat and boss fights. Once you collect four fragments, they automatically combine into a complete Sha-Chi Amber, permanently increasing your maximum Sha-Chi capacity by 10%. This gives you more room to use Sha-Chi attacks and defensive actions before running low.

Phantom Blade Zero Sha-Chi Amber Fragments Locations Guide

Sha-Chi Amber Fragments are Key Progression Materials that you collect while exploring the world of Phantom Blade Zero. You can find them in treasure chests, hidden areas, and enemy drops.

Here is what you need to know:

• Four fragments make one complete Sha-Chi Amber.
• Each complete Sha-Chi Amber increases your maximum Sha-Chi capacity by 10%.
• Fragments can be found by exploring side paths, opening chests, and defeating powerful enemies.
• You can track the remaining collectibles through the regional Map Completion screen, where they may appear as Sha-Chi Amber Shards or Sha-Chi Amber Fragments.

Your yellow Sha-Chi gauge is shared between offensive Sha-Chi Attacks, activated with Triangle, and defensive actions such as Guard Stance and blocking. Increasing your maximum capacity allows you to use these actions for longer before running out of Sha-Chi.
