Four Fierce Axes - All Four Axes Case Files Archives Document Locations - Phantom Blade Zero Guide - IGN

Four Fierce Axes is a side quest Tale in Phantom Blade Zero. It tasks you with hunting down a series of threats throughout the Weeping Creek Valley.

To begin the quest make your way to the Outpost in the Weeping Creek Valley and up to the house next to the Old Beggar, who is sitting by the steps.

Inside this house, you can find a Petrified Mandate Beggar who will warn you about The Axemaster, who has returned.

These are the steps to complete the quest:

Just after the outpost itself, you will meet Peng Meng, The Axemaster. This is a tough boss battle and the first challenge in this quest.

He’s a large opponent with plenty of strong strikes, so prepare yourself. These are the special attacks you need to look out for in this fight:

The Axemaster is a slow-moving boss who hits extremely hard. Oftentimes, it’s safer to dodge than attempt a parry, but you’ll want at least a few successful parries to lower his Sha-Chi meter and cause a guard break.

The Axemaster has slow recovery animations after big hits, so stay patient and counterattack when he’s on the ground or regaining his balance. The Jagged Steel sword is great here because it inflicts Bleed and the boss is slow enough to give you generous combo openings.

Beating this fight will also unlock your first Phantom Edge, the Dread Axe.

Once you have defeated Peng Meng, you will need to learn more about The Four Axes themselves, by gathering the collectible case files around the Weeping Creek Valley. These are located in the following locations:

This file can be found right next to the altar at the Broken Valley Puppet bell.

At the Broken Puppet Valley bell, head inside the house in-front of you and look inside the house on the desk to find the 'The Four Axes Rebellion: Chaos".
