Phantom Blade Zero has 40 Sha-Chi Amber Fragments, spread across 7 regions. Every 4 fragments make one piece of Sha-Chi Amber (+10% max Sha-Chi), so with all 40 you complete 10 pieces, the “Complete Mastery” trophy and the Sha-Chi row of the skill tree.
Pangzhen has 12 (3 of them in the Mirage Estate), the Crimson Forest and Meigu Lake have 6 and the other regions have 4. Two in the Crimson Forest can only be picked up in the frozen Crimson Forest and two in Meigu Lake, in the Phantom Illusionist Ruins.
Sha-Chi Amber Fragments by region
Official total from the game’s “View collectibles” screen
The totals per region are the ones the game itself shows on the map (View collectibles), verified in our PS5 playthrough. Locations follow the Vandal guide (Spanish guide), which lists 38; the two missing to reach 40 come from Fextralife and are marked.
What they are for
| Fragments | Pieces | Cumulative effect |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 1 | +10% max Sha-Chi |
| 8 | 2 | +20% max Sha-Chi |
| 20 | 5 | +50% max Sha-Chi |
| 40 | 10 | +100% max Sha-Chi |
Besides the direct boost, Sha-Chi Amber pieces pay for skills in the Sha-Chi row of the skill tree, such as Still Depths (+1 spark per level) and level 2 of Boundless Capacity (2 amber and 40,000 Remnant Dust).
