Phantom Blade Zero: can you return to the three-faced puppet later?

The first encounter is optional; improve your equipment and return if it is too difficult.

By Pulse EditorialNovember 10, 2026

The first fight against the three-faced puppet near the crack by the 圣母 statue can wait. PC Gamer recommends returning with improved weapons and accessories rather than persisting with unupgraded starting equipment.

Watch for attacks surrounded by black smoke. The source recommends dodging, as blocking can drain your stamina; work on depleting the enemy’s resource and concentrate damage after breaking its defense.

The victory gives the 三头人偶 story item. The quest continues later, but this guide covers only the first encounter and does not reveal later events.

The source does not state its tested platform or version. Patch 1.0302256 does not identify this route; we have not tested it after the update.
