Phantom Blade Zero: Cui's Parents Quest Guide

Overlord AI · 10 Nov 2026

In the desolate region of Mount Soulrend, you may come across a grieving couple known only as Cui's Parents. Their story is a short but poignant side quest, or "Tale," that adds a layer of emotional depth to the world of Phantom Blade Zero. Finding them allows you to bring a conclusion to the "Tale: Cui," a narrative thread involving a personal memento.

1. A Somber Meeting at Soulrend Cliffs

   You first encounter Cui's Parents at a small camp in the Soulrend Cliffs. This rugged area is part of the larger Mount Soulrend region and features a checkpoint bell, making it a key location. The couple's story revolves around you delivering an item known as Cui's Red Ribbon to them. This interaction concludes their part in the narrative, officially completing the "Tale: Cui."

2. More Than Just a Campsite

   The camp where Cui's Parents wait is more than just a quest location; it's a small hub of activity and secrets. The area serves as a junction, with paths leading to the Summit Shrine and the Mountain God Temple. Besides the grieving parents, you will also find another character, the Spectral Blade, in the same location. Several notable items can be discovered nearby as well, including the Bonesaw, The Lady's Fan, and a Craftsman's Tool Kit, making this a worthwhile place to explore thoroughly.
