The fight against Mu Xiaokui in Phantom Blade Zero has a hidden third phase that requires completing the Young Master Tale and finding her five ribbons beforehand. This guide explains how to approach its phases and what rewards to obtain, with special attention to the Demon Saws, which are missable.
Where to find Mu Xiaokui in Phantom Blade Zero
Mu Xiaokui, the Young Master of the Order, awaits you in Lu Village — Lakeside , during Heartless Vestiges. To reach the confrontation, you must first defeat Yuzan and proceed through the Puppet Testing Grounds. From there, take the elevator up to the upper area by the lake.
Before the fight: complete all five tapes
Complete the Young Master Tale and find her five ribbons before facing Mu Xiaokui. This requirement unlocks the secret phase with his two guardians. If you reach the fight without having completed this, you will lose the opportunity to obtain the Demon Saws.
The full battle that follows includes that third phase and the associated rewards.
First phase: sword, blocks and dodges
Mu Xiaokui begins by using his sword and chaining together rapid strikes with footwork. Pay attention to the windows of opportunity for blocking and dodging : his movements force you to adjust your defense during exchanges, rather than focusing solely on attacking.
Second phase: administer the Sha-Chi
The fight then shifts to more aggressive close-quarters combat. Manage your Sha-Chi effectively and avoid prolonging exchanges. Take advantage of Mu Xiaokui's recovery moments to counterattack, without maintaining the offensive once he resumes his pressure.
Secret Phase: Jade Dancer and Iron Demon
If you have fulfilled the Young Master Tale requirement, Mu Xiaokui summons Jade Dancer and Iron Demon in a third phase. The two guardians attack in a coordinated fashion, so you will have to withstand their combined pressure.
Focus your attacks on one of the guardians until you defeat it , instead of spreading the damage between both. This will reduce the pressure of the fight before you deal with the other one.
Secret phase rewards and item by the dock
Completing the secret stage allows you to obtain the Demon Saws and the Fist Fragment: Core . You also get the item needed to open the passage through the puppet door to Panghen.
Additionally, after the battle, you can collect the Wild Oriole Sword by the dock . Pick it up before continuing to your next destination.

Mu Xiaokui Boss Fight | Phantom Blade Zero
Full battle against Mu Xiaokui in Phantom Blade Zero, the Young Master of the Order and one of the most important confrontations of the Village of Lu during Heartless Vestiges.
We find Mu Xiaokui after defeating Yuzan and progressing through the Puppet Testing Grounds. From this area, we take the elevator to the upper level, by the lake, where the fight awaits.
Mu Xiaokui has distinct battle phases, each with different attacks and movements. In the first phase, he uses his sword and combines rapid strikes with movements that require paying attention to blocking and dodging openings.
During the second phase, the fight changes, and even more aggressive melee attacks appear. We must manage Sha-Chi well, avoid prolonging exchanges, and take advantage of recovery moments to counterattack.
SECRET PHASE: JADE DANCER AND IRON DEMON
If we have previously completed the Young Teacher Tale and found its five tapes, the confrontation includes a hidden third phase.
In this part, Mu Xiaokui summons his two guardians, Jade Dancer and Iron Demon. They attack in a coordinated fashion, so it's advisable to focus your attacks on one until you defeat it, thus reducing the pressure of the fight.
MAJOR REWARDS
Completing this secret stage allows you to obtain the Demon Saws and the Fist Fragment: Core. You also get the item needed to proceed through the puppet gate to Panghen.
After the confrontation, we can collect the Wild Oriole Sword by the dock.
WARNING: The Demon Saws are a missable reward if you reach the battle without having completed all five tapes of the Young Master Tale.

Your preparation will determine whether you can handle the entire battle: review all five tapes before reaching the lake. During the fight, control the Sha-Chi, and when the guardians appear, eliminate one first to relieve the pressure.
