Phantom Blade Zero: How to Find Flesh Lily & Complete Yu'er's Herb Quest

Overview and Quest Requirements

When beginning your journey in Phantom Blade Zero, one of the earliest side quests you will encounter involves an NPC named Yu'er (also referred to as Yura). This unmissable interaction occurs naturally near the start of the game. By asking her how to save her father, you trigger a side quest to track down a rare item known as the Flesh Lily.

To reach the areas required for this quest, players must progress significantly through the first map. Depending on your personal gameplay speed, reaching the necessary milestones can take anywhere from an hour to two hours, or even longer.

Locating Yu'er at the Outpost

After advancing through the initial map, you will eventually arrive at a location called the Outpost.

1. Defeat the Outpost Boss: Progress to the gate just beyond the Outpost and defeat the boss located there. This encounter cannot be missed, as the local townspeople will be openly discussing the threat.
2. Find Yu'er's New Location: Once you have emerged victorious against the boss, head back toward the Outpost. You will find that Yu'er has relocated. She is now stationed directly next to the local fast travel point, making her easy to find for your follow-up interactions.

Upon speaking to her at this new location, you will maintain your active quest for the Flesh Lily while simultaneously unlocking a secondary task: the Apprentice Healer quest. This requires you to help her gather three specific herbs based on a provided recipe.

Gathering the 3 Herbs for the Apprentice Healer Quest

Collecting the three herbs for Yu'er's secondary quest is streamlined thanks to the game's map interface.

Map Tracking and Navigation

• Quest Markers: Open your map to view the exact locations of the herbs, marked clearly with icons.
• Selecting Markers: You can select a marker on your map until it highlights in blue to track it. For example, a convenient starting point for the first herb is the X Monsters Holding Cell fast travel point.
• Using Mind's Eye: To pinpoint your exact distance and vertical orientation relative to the target—especially if the item is positioned higher or lower than your current elevation—activate your "Mind's Eye" ability. On PC, the default key for this is V (console players should check their specific controller layout settings).
• Story Items: As you approach the tracked locations, you will discover that these items are classified as story items. Simply interact with them to collect the herbs.

Repeat this tracking and gathering process for the remaining herbs located toward the other end of the map.

Finding the Flesh Lily Location

To acquire the Flesh Lily required for Yu'er's primary request, you must press further into the map until you reach the Valley Shachi Tower.

Reaching the Valley Shachi Tower

• Identify the Tower: The Valley Shachi Tower is a massive, smoky tower that is impossible to miss. The main game progression naturally points you in this direction.
• Navigate the Interior: Once you arrive at the tower, make your way inside to the first floor. Head toward the back right-hand side.
• Cross the Bridge: Follow the path to the back right, where you will find a bridge leading further inward. This path is linear and has only one direction to follow.
• Complete the Encounter: The path leads directly into a boss fight, as the Flesh Lily is tied to this specific encounter. Once you successfully defeat the boss, you can easily spot and pick up the Flesh Lily items.
