Are you looking for the Serpent Houses in Phantom Blade Zero? It’s imperative that you visit these locations while exploring, as doing so allows you to progress to the late-game stages of the campaign. We’ve got all the details for you in this article, but be ready for a few minor spoilers in the sections below.
Pangzhen: Green Serpent House
The Green Serpent House is practically unmissable, since you head there while tackling main quest objectives in Pangzhen. The apprentice, Xie Xaorong, unlocks the medicine upgrade function at bells. He tells you that the ornate snake door is locked, as it’s missing the eyes, tongue, and fang.
This location also nets you the following goodies:
- Green Serpent Brew (medicine)
- Serpent Gall: Green (fragment)
Crimson Forest: Red Serpent House
This Phantom Blade Zero Serpent House will likely be the first that you stumble upon in the campaign. It’s due north of the Thieves’ Camp, but you’ll only be able to enter it once you have the Flaming Mane. The Phantom Edge comes from the Lion Dance Grandmaster boss in northwest Pangzhen, so just do the main quest objectives there until you obtain it.
The Flaming Mane is used to burn the brambles in this area. Once you’re inside, pick up the loot, including:
- Red Serpent Tongue (quest item)
- Loong Emblem: Yin (quest item)
- Serpent Rattle: Red (fragment)
Village of Lu: Black Serpent House
Next, use the Flaming Mane to torch the brambles in the Village of Lu and grab the following in the den:
- Black Serpent Fang (quest item)
- Loong Emblem: Yang (quest item)
- Serpent Venom Sac: Black (fragment)
- Reinforced Bowstring (Soul Temper – Feather Bow)
Meigu Lake: White Serpent House
The Lóng Emblems that you’ve collected are needed for the Serpent House in Phantom Blade Zero. The den is on an island at the eastern part of the lake, and the emblems can unlock the main area. You’ll find the following items there:
- Treasure Basin (accessory) – Inside the small building to the right.
- Sha-Chi Amber Fragment (upgrade) – Go to the back of said building.
- Serpent Slough: White (fragment)
- Sundering Dual Axes (dual-wield weapon) – Dropped by Heartpiercer, Elite Shadow Warden.
- White Serpent Eye (quest item)
- 2x Leng Tu’s Memory Flowers
Note: The four fragments that you’ve collected are automatically combined to create the Serpent’s Memory, a Soul Temper material for the White Serpent & Crimson Viper.
The Serpent Door and the Mirage Estate – Point of no return
You can place the three quest items–Red Serpent Tongue, Black Serpent Fang, and White Serpent Eye–in the ornate door in Pangzhen’s Green Serpent House. Doing so opens a hidden passageway that leads to the Mirage Estate.
To be clear, this is a point of no return. When you go through the passageway, you’ll receive a warning telling you that you still have “unfinished business.” If you proceed further, you’ll arrive at the Mirage Estate, though it’s possible that several quests will also fail abruptly. That’s why it’s important to tackle key objectives before you proceed.
In any case, that does it for our guide on where to find all Serpent Houses in Phantom Blade Zero. At this stage, we encourage you to thoroughly explore other regions. You can gather more main weapons and their respective Soul Temper materials.
