0 / 9 completed

The Heart's JourneyGeneralEscape the Pursuers on the Main Road.Unmissable — this is the Prologue's escape sequence. At 88.1% it is the game's most-earned achievement: nearly everyone who finishes the opening hour has it.
Way of the PhantomGeneralPerform a Chain Assassination.Sneak up on two or more unaware, grouped enemies and start an assassination — the chain kill triggers automatically. The Thieves' Camp groups in the Crimson Forest are the classic spot; 61.8% of players have it.
The Rusted BladeGeneralInflict Blood Loss with Jagged Steel.Unlock Jagged Steel, build its Bleed gauge on any flesh enemy (not constructs — puppets are immune), and the status procs the achievement. 55.6% and climbing — most Bleed builds earn it in the first region.
Way of the BladeGeneralPerform a Chain Execution.Execute two or more Guard-Broken enemies in sequence — break a group's Sha-Chi and chain the finisher prompts. A 5.2% rate: it needs a crowd, a build with real Guard Break, and deliberate setup.
A Drunken DreamGeneralUse the Fanatic's Broken Blade to enter the [Drunk] State.The Fanatic's Broken Blade (the Sword Fanatic's weapon) carries a Drunken-fist state ability. Enter the state once and the achievement lands — 1.9% own it so far.
The Blade's ThirstGeneralUse the Outlaw's Warblade to unleash [Bloodthirst Frenzy].The Outlaw's Warblade's frenzy ability — trigger it in any sustained fight. At 1.1%, this is the first "weapon-mastery" wall in the list.
Forbidden Arts Beneath the LakeCollectionComplete [Secrets at the Heart of the Lake].A late-game secret side quest. At 0.1% this is day-one rare — the quest chain is undocumented territory; treat the lake country's strange prompt-points as leads.
Phantom and BladeCollectionComplete [Bloodline Awakening].A secret story-adjacent quest completion. 0.1% — the title implies late-game bloodline content; the full guide lands when the community maps it.
The Last of BaishanCollectionComplete [Secrets of the Baishan Sect].The Baishan Sect secret quest — the Twin Blades list (Baishan Stormswords) points at the same lore thread. 0.1%; the quest steps are being crowdsourced.

The Shape of the List: 66 Achievements, 58 Rare

Phantom Blade Zero's Steam achievement list carries 66 achievements, and the launch-week snapshot marks 58 of them as rare. The visible shape of the list tells the game's story: a handful of near-universal story unlocks at the top (The Heart's Journey at 88.1%), a combat-mastery middle tier in freefall from 61.8% to 1%, and a long tail of secret side-quest completions sitting at 0.1% while the first players are still mid-campaign. This page documents the achievements whose conditions are confirmed; the secret-quest entries fill in as the community maps them.

Unlock rates in this guide are launch-week snapshots (checked October 29, 2026) — they will drift fast as the player base grows.

Story & Combat Tiers

The top of the list is the tutorial's report card: The Heart's Journey (escape the Pursuers) and Way of the Phantom (first Chain Assassination — the Thieves' Camp groups are the classic spot) together describe everyone who learned the game's first hour. The combat tier is weapon-mastery: The Rusted Blade wants Bleed damage on a flesh enemy, Way of the Blade wants chained executions on a Guard-Broken crowd, and the Drunken Dream / Blade's Thirst pair wants the two famous weapon states (Drunk and Bloodthirst Frenzy) triggered at least once.

The Heart's Journey — unmissable Prologue story beat (88.1%)
Way of the Phantom — Chain Assassination on grouped unaware enemies (61.8%)
The Rusted Blade — Bleed proc with Jagged Steel; constructs are immune (55.6%)
Way of the Blade — Chain Execution on a broken crowd (5.2%)
A Drunken Dream — Fanatic's Broken Blade [Drunk] state (1.9%)
The Blade's Thirst — Outlaw's Warblade [Bloodthirst Frenzy] (1.1%)

The Secret Quest Tail

Three documented achievements at 0.1% share a shape: they complete named secret quests — Secrets at the Heart of the Lake, Bloodline Awakening, and Secrets of the Baishan Sect. These are the game's hidden-content tier: side stories that do not announce themselves on the map. The completionist's play for launch week is the same as always in this genre — talk to every odd NPC, read every lore scroll (it pays Remnant Dust anyway), and check strange prompt-points in each region before leaving. The checklist page rolls them into the 100% route as they are mapped.

Progress Tracking

The tracker on this page saves checkmarks locally in your browser — no account, no sync. Tick each achievement as it lands; the counter shows your position against the documented list. For the full 66-item in-game list, the Steam client's achievement page is the canonical view.
