The Scarlet Wraith Blade is an excellent weapon in the game Phantom Blade Zero. The blade is capable of inflicting heavy posture damage on enemies. The sword can be obtained from the secret boss known as Hua, Deadly Betrothed, in the Flesh Lily Fields. Even though the battle might be difficult, the reward will be worth it. In this guide, we’ll explain how to reach the boss, defeat Hua, and unlock the Scarlet Wraith Blade and Flesh Lily.
How To Unlock Scarlet Wraithblade And Flesh Lily
The Scarlet Wraith Blade is a formidable weapon that can be obtained from an early stage of Phantom Blade Zero. To do so, you need to kill a hidden boss who also drops the item Flesh Lily required in the quest. But first, you have to advance through the storyline until you find the Valley Sha-Chi Tower First Floor Bell.
After finding the bell, go up, and then go up the right part of the tower. Here, you will see a path leading down into the pit. This leads you to a new place named Flesh Lily Fields, where you have to face the hidden boss, Hua, Deadly Betrothed.
How To Defeat Hua, Deadly Betrothed
Hua can prove to be quite a difficult boss to defeat if you play the game at Hellwalker level. Her two attacks include Red Grab and White Lily. If she catches you in either of the moves, she performs a deadly finishing move that causes lots of damage, so you should be cautious in your fight against her.
The ideal way to tackle her Red Grab attack is to dodge the attack at the appropriate time because successfully evading this attack means you have a great opportunity to deal with both her health and posture. But avoid rushing to attack her since Hua can use this attack multiple times in a row.
Her white lily projectiles are another attack to watch out for. You can block them, but dodging sideways and moving past them is a better option. This helps you escape their tracking and makes the projectiles disappear.
Hua also calls out the red spider lilies that spawn on the ground. The lilies suck your stamina and Sha-Chi slowly, so try not to get too close to them. She is also able to summon floating red lilies that move towards each other and explode. Get away from such a formation quickly in order to save yourself some health.
During the remaining part of the battle, try to dodge all the attacks Hua throws at you, including the blue ones and her red grab move. Try also to learn to avoid the white homing lilies, and the fight will become much easier for you. After breaking Hua’s guard, take the opportunity and hit her with Sha-Chi and ultimate moves.
You should also switch between your weapons when needed to manage your Sha-Chi and stamina. Keep your distance when necessary, avoid getting greedy with attacks, and wait for the right opportunities to strike.
How To Get The Scarlet Wraith Blade and Twin Flesh Lilies
You will obtain the Scarlet Wraith Blade after killing Hua. You may also acquire the Twin Flesh Lilies that lie on the floor. Ensure you examine the area around you since there are still several other things that you can gather from there. After that, learn the Flesh Lily Fields skill and use it to get back to the outpost. When you are there, locate Urera and give her one of the flesh lilies.
How To Upgrade The Scarlet Wraith Blade
The Scarlet Wraith Blade can be upgraded to Level 5 using the Broad Plate Metal. You should have no problem acquiring enough of this metal through ground loot and from shops. Levelling up the weapon to this level will also give access to the Scarlet Field power of the weapon.
Scarlet Wraith Blade is a worthy option for those who want to use a weapon that can deliver massive posture damage. The weakness of this weapon is the lengthy wind-up time of its attacks, and this could become your Achilles’ heel if you fail to time your attacks correctly. Know the pattern of your opponent and take advantage of the serious damage you can deliver.
