How to Get Tiger Cannon in Phantom Blade Zero?

Before You Enter Mirage Estate

You reach the Mirage Estate through the Green Serpent House in Pangzhen. Finish your purple-icon quests first. Reportedly, all 10 must be done before you cross this checkpoint if you want the True Ending:

Deep in the Valley
Illusion of Inanis
Sha-Chi Powered Boat
Allure of Vanity
Illusory Pipa
Pillars of Kunlun
Whence the Weeping
The Herald’s Illusion
Crimson Manor
Secrets at the Heart of the Lake

Make a separate manual save before you go in. A quest that is only discovered in your Journal doesn’t count as finished. Check the Story menu.

Step-by-Step Location

Play through Weeping Creek Valley, Crimson Forest, Village of Lu, Pangzhen and Meigu Lake.
Enter the Mirage Estate via the Green Serpent House.
Head to Perfect Vessel Pond and rest at the bell.
Step into the arena and fight Lei Dang.
Win, and the Tiger Cannon is added to your loadout automatically.

It’s a story boss, so you can’t miss it.

How to Beat Lei Dang?

This is a two-phase fight. Lei Dang hits hard with heavy strikes and gun attacks. If you win phase one and die in phase two, you restart from phase two.

Blue flash: parry it (L1 on PS5).
Red flash: dodge it (R1 on PS5). It’s unblockable.
Sha-Chi break: he staggers, so unload your heavy combos and best Phantom Edge.

How to Use Tiger Cannon in Phantom Blade Zero?

In Combat

Fire it with R2 on controller (R on PC keyboard). It’s great for:

Heavy ranged damage against groups.
Detonating explosive, Powderkeg-type enemies before they reach you.
Shattering Frozen enemies (not elites).

One guide reports a Soul Tempering upgrade called Full Blast, which launches the cannon itself for huge damage at the cost of 2 Remnant Sparks. Upgrading it through Soul Tempering raises its damage either way.

Field Ability: Stone-Clearing Shot

Cracked stone walls appear all over the world. Their map markers turn green once you own the Tiger Cannon. Walk up, follow the prompt, and fire. The prompt shows even if the cannon isn’t equipped.

Best Walls to Blast First

Region	Wall Location	Reported Reward
Weeping Creek Valley	South of the Long Pillar bell	Pigeon Feed (Tempering Material)
Crimson Forest	North end of the tunnel at Cliffside Lodge	Song of Part (Tempering Material)
Village of Lu	Southeast of Shallows Dock bell	Golden Ammunition (Tempering Material)
Pangzhen	Drop right from Hidden Passage to Pangzhen bell	Border Poems (Tempering Material)

Those Tempering Materials upgrade other Phantom Edges, so do this backtrack run right away. For more upgrades, see our Phantom Blade Zero Phantom Edges guide.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Looking for it early. You’ll spot its walls in Weeping Creek Valley, but you can’t get the cannon until the Mirage Estate.
Entering Mirage Estate with quests unfinished. This is the biggest True Ending risk.
Skipping the manual save. You can’t easily undo it later.
Ignoring the green markers. Check your map after every new Phantom Edge.
