“Apprentice Healer” in Phantom Blade Zero: how to complete the tale step by step

Updated: Last verified:
Quick answer

“Apprentice Healer” is given by Yu’er at the Valley’s Mandate Outpost, next to Forge’s forge, when you ask her about herbs after beating Peng Meng. She gives you her medicinal recipe: bring the Enredadera hemostática, the Hierba coagulante and the Hierba dorada cicatrizante. Reward: the Medicine Case. It’s lost if you beat Jing Ye in the Crimson Forest before handing them in.

Missable

Hand in the herbs before beating Jing Ye, the Outlaw, in the Crimson Forest. He’s the first boss that closes tales: if you beat him first, this one fails and you lose The Healer’s Legacy trophy in that playthrough. See points of no return.

Why won’t it progress?

  • I already had the herbs and they don’t count: the trophy guide passes on players’ advice to accept the tale before picking up the herbs.
  • Yu’er isn’t at the Outpost: she only appears next to the forge after you beat Peng Meng and clear the courtyard.

The whole questline in order: Yu’er’s quests.
