All Outfits in Phantom Blade Zero and How to Unlock Them (November 2026) Ultimate Guide

There are 8 outfits in Phantom Blade Zero: Black Scarf (Fugitive), Sanguine, The Hunt, Kindred, Blizzard, Legacy, Blood-Steel Form, and Wulin Legend. Two are yours from the start, four are earned by playing — including two tied to the secret Perfect ending — and two come only with the Deluxe Edition. Every outfit is purely cosmetic, so this is a fashion hunt, not a stat grind. I’ve listed the exact unlock method for each one below, plus the fastest route to the trickiest rewards before the credits roll on your first playthrough.

Outfit	How to Unlock
Black Scarf (Fugitive)	Default outfit — yours from the start of a new game
Sanguine	Unlocked from the start of a new game
The Hunt	Finish the story once (any ending)
Kindred	Finish the story once (any ending)
Blizzard	Meet every Perfect ending requirement except the Long Pillar challenges
Legacy	Pre-order early unlock, or earn it via the secret Perfect ending
Blood-Steel Form	Deluxe Edition exclusive
Wulin Legend	Deluxe Edition exclusive

How to Change Outfit in Phantom Blade Zero?

You can’t touch the wardrobe during the prologue, so don’t panic when the menus look bare. Once Soul survives the horse-cart chase and wakes up in Weeping Creek Valley, outfits open up:

Open the map menu.
Switch to the Character tab.
Select the Appearance category.
Pick your outfit and confirm.

That same screen also toggles Soul’s headgear on or off, and it matters — half of these looks change completely with the hood down. New outfits appear in the Appearance tab automatically the moment you unlock them, so check back in after every major story beat.

Outfits You Get From the Start

Two looks need zero effort:

Black Scarf (Fugitive) — Soul’s default: a wanted killer in worn travel clothes and his signature black scarf. It’s the canon look from the trailers and key art, and my pick for a first playthrough.
Sanguine — lighter traveling garb with dark-crimson accents. Its in-game flavor text says that when Ghoststep is unleashed, “a streak of dark crimson flies with every motion” until cloth and blade blur into one. In motion, it’s the smoothest skin in the game.

Wear Black Scarf until the combat clicks, then flip to Sanguine and start styling on bosses.

Outfits You Get for Finishing the Story

Roll credits with any ending — Normal or Perfect, any difficulty — and you’ll unlock two outfits at once: The Hunt and Kindred. There’s no NG+ requirement and no extra trophy chase attached; both drop into your Appearance tab together the moment the story ends. That makes them the easiest pair in the game, and it’s exactly why you should never delete your first cleared save before checking the tab.

Outfits Tied to the Perfect Ending

Here’s where the real work lives. Phantom Blade Zero has two endings: the Normal ending and the secret True ending (the “Perfect” ending, aka The Final Battle). Two outfits hang off it:

Blizzard unlocks if you meet every Perfect ending requirement except the five Long Pillar challenges. Think of it as the developer’s safety net for players who did 90% of the work.
Legacy unlocks only if you see the Perfect ending through to the true final boss. Pre-order players get it from minute one, but it is not pre-order exclusive — the official site confirms it can also be earned through in-game progression.

The condensed checklist I wish I’d had on day one:

Collect the Crystal Puppet Eye [Yin] in the optional Mountain of Imprisonment region, and Eye [Yang] by defeating the hidden boss in Crimson Manor.
Defeat all four Acolyte bosses — Village of Lu, Pangzhen, Meigu Lake, and Crimson Manor — to claim the fire, thunder, venom, and frost masks.
Sail a Sha-Chi boat to the mirror on Meigu Lake’s west side, enter with all four masks, beat the realm’s boss, and slot both puppet eyes into the statue.
Complete all five Long Pillar challenges: Weeping Creek Valley, Crimson Forest, Meigu Lake, the mirror realm, and the finale area.
Collect the White Serpent Eye, Black Serpent Fang, and Red Serpent Tongue through the main quests, plus every relic from Quick Hand Zhang (find him five times across the map).

The game warns you at Mirage Estate if purple-icon quests are still open, and one last time at the “Last Chance” bell in Mount Soulrend. Clear the list and you’ll face the true final boss after Meng Hua, earn the With Heart and Blood trophy, and walk away with Legacy equipped.

Pre-Order and Deluxe Edition Outfits

Money buys three of the eight looks — one of which you can earn for free anyway:

Edition	Price	Outfits Included
Standard	$59.99	None — all story outfits are earnable in-game
Any pre-order	—	Legacy (early unlock) + Treasure Basin accessory
Deluxe Edition	$69.99	Legacy + Wulin Legend + Blood-Steel Form

Legacy is an early-access bonus, not an exclusive — skip the pre-order and the Perfect ending still earns it for you.
Wulin Legend is the Deluxe showpiece: ornate wanderer’s robes whose flavor text promises a tale that “will still be told throughout the martial world.”
Blood-Steel Form, the other Deluxe exclusive, boils Sha-Chi through Soul’s war-plate until it glows a deep crimson. It’s the most aggressive silhouette in the set, especially with headgear hidden.

The Deluxe Edition also throws in the digital artbook and soundtrack for $10 more than Standard. And here’s a bonus most outfit guides miss: buying on the Epic Games Store also grants Soul’s outfit in Fortnite, so double-check your storefront before you click buy.

Quick Tips for Outfit Hunters

Plan the Perfect ending from the start. The Hunt, Kindred, Blizzard, and Legacy can all land in a single, well-planned playthrough if you chase the True ending early.
Don’t rush Mount Soulrend. Certain side quests turn missable there, and the Perfect ending needs every purple-icon quest closed first.
Treat the Long Pillars as the deadline. Miss one and Legacy is gone for that save — but Blizzard still softens the blow.
Wear whatever you want. With zero stat differences, the only real meta is looking good while parrying.
