A single run can carry you all the way to the Phantom Blade Zero platinum, and the easiest setting is enough. Producer Soulframe says the full achievement set is available within one playthrough, so players can focus on exploring and learning the combat without signing up for a second run just to complete the list.
One thorough playthrough is enough for every achievement.
The Phantom Blade Zero platinum route
Quick facts
- Statement by
- Producer Soulframe
- Posted
- 9 September 2026
- Achievement scope
- All achievements
The key detail is how the producer frames the route: the first three difficulty settings include the full achievement set, and even a complete run on the easiest one can earn everything. That makes the Platinum more approachable for players who want to see the story and explore at their own pace. The claim is about access to achievements, not a promise that every fight will be easy.
Difficulty and the replay
The 66 Days mode is presented as an optional challenge, not a trophy gate. The producer says it is separate from achievements, while the game’s harder replay options are there for players who want another combat challenge. For anyone aiming only for the Platinum, that distinction matters: the trophy goal does not require taking the most punishing route.

FAQ
Can you earn the Phantom Blade Zero platinum on the easiest difficulty?
Yes. Producer Soulframe says a full run on the easiest setting can earn all achievements.
Is 66 Days mode required for the trophies?
No. The producer says 66 Days mode is unrelated to achievements.
For players in Egypt and across the Arab world, the useful takeaway is straightforward: the producer’s statement supports a complete Platinum attempt in one run, without making the hardest replay mode part of the checklist. The individual trophy requirements still need a reliable official list to verify. For now, the evidence supports the one-playthrough claim; the finer details depend on the published trophy list.
