Phantom Blade Zero save checker
Drop your Phantom Blade Zero PC save on the box below to see how many times you died and which boss killed you most, then which of the 575 spots on the eight maps you have not picked up yet, and which Bell each one is near. The file is read in your browser only: not uploaded, not changed.
Not sure where the file is: Phantom Blade Zero save location · On PS5: tick spots by hand on the map

The file is PBZSaveGame.sav · it holds the game’s last 3 autosaves, and you can switch between them

Where is the Phantom Blade Zero save file?
The PC save is not in Documents but in the game’s install folder: ProjectPBZ\Saved\SaveGames\Steam\a long number\PBZSaveGame.sav.
- 1 · Open the folder In Steam, right-click Phantom Blade Zero and choose Manage › Browse local files, then open ProjectPBZ › Saved › SaveGames › Steam and the folder named with a long number. On Steam Deck, do the same in Desktop Mode and open this page in the browser there.
- 2 · Drop it here Drop PBZSaveGame.sav on the box above. Quit the game first if you can, so the file is not half written.
- 3 · See what is missing Key items you have not picked up come first, grouped by map. “See on the map” opens the spot.
A PS5 save cannot be copied off the console, so tick spots by hand on the region maps instead. For the other differences, see Phantom Blade Zero on PC or PS5.
The file is read in your browser and the page sends none of it anywhere. Disconnect from the internet before dropping it, if you want to be sure.
The game keeps its last 3 autosaves in the same file, a few minutes apart. The page uses the newest; you can switch to an older one afterwards.
The page says which case it is: not a Phantom Blade Zero save; an incomplete file (copied while the game was writing it); a save format newer than the page, most likely after a game update; or a browser that is too old.

What if it cannot read the file?
The page says which case it is: not a Phantom Blade Zero save; an incomplete file (copied while the game was writing it); a save format newer than the page, most likely after a game update; or a browser that is too old.
Does a full set matter for trophies?
A few trophies ask for every item of one kind; see Phantom Blade Zero trophies and platinum route. Some side quests close for good, so check missable quests first.
