How boss weapons change combat and exploration in Phantom Blade Zero

PlayStation Blog detailed how combat and exploration work in Phantom Blade Zero, where defeating bosses grants their weapons, such as Hua's Scarlet Wraithblade that summons spider lilies. Fights revolve around the Sha-Chi meter, which blocking depletes while parries, dodges and hits drain the opponent's, and swapping between two main weapons refills it quickly. Some exploration paths require specific Phantom Edge weapons, and collecting Blue Memory Flowers raises Soul's health. The game launches on PS5 on October 29.
