How to complete Four Fierce Axes in Phantom Blade Zero
AI Summary
A comprehensive guide on locating all the case files for the Four Fierce Axes side quest in Phantom Blade Zero. Learn where to find every piece of evidence, defeat key bosses, and progress through the required areas.
The Four Fierce Axes quest is likely the second you'll acquire in Phantom Blade Zero, afterFlesh Lily, when you find a "Four Axes" case file in the Broken Puppet Valley early on.
You'll have to "uncover the truth behind the Four Axes Rebellion" which involves continuing to the outpost and defeating the Peng Meng boss there. After that, you'll have to "gather evidence of the conspiracy against the Four Axes", which means finding seven more "Four Axes" case files in Weeping Creek Valley, besides the one you already have and one Peng Meng drops. Here's where they all are:
1. Near the Broken Puppet Valley bell in the house on the table.
2. Also in the Broken Puppet Valley on the corpse by the shrine.
3. After the Rustblade Pavillion bell, before the Outpost Courtyard bell, on a table in the area where the game gives you a tutorial to jump assassinate a man by a campfire.
4. Near the Axemaster's Holding Cell bell on a table in the area where The Hunt has killed everyone.
5. After you acquire The Hunter's Chain Sickle and use it to get the Sha Chi Tower Base Camp Key from the top of the Sha-Chi Tower, use it to unlock the door by the Creek Valley Plains Entrance bell, and search the lower level of the tower to find it on a table in the forge area.
6. Through the Festering Secret quest. Use the Dread Axe to smash the barrier in the outpost after you defeat Peng Meng, defeat the enemies, speak to the captain, and deliver the letter to the lieutenant at the Long Pillar Overlook bell in the area you unlocked above. He'll give you the sixth case file.

The 7th case file isn't accessible until you the reach the Village of Lu and the Leave None Alive quest starts
