Soul Tempering Materials
Every weapon has one Soul Tempering material: 47 in all, 24 for primary weapons and 23 for Phantom Edges. Take the material and 5,000 Remnant Dust to Myst at her tavern in Pangzhen. For most weapons it adds one art or effect; 6 turn the weapon into a different one.

FAQ
How do you Soul Temper a weapon in Phantom Blade Zero?
Find the weapon's Soul Tempering material, then take it and 5,000 Remnant Dust to Myst at her tavern in Pangzhen. Each weapon has its own material, and some materials are assembled from two to four fragments that combine automatically once you hold them all.
How much does Soul Tempering cost?
5,000 Remnant Dust plus the material. Two Chinese retail tempering screens show the same 5,000 (Sanguine Reach into Blazing Edge, and Sanguine Twin into Shadowless Edge).
How many Soul Tempering materials are there?
47, one per weapon: 24 for primary weapons and 23 for Phantom Edges, following AllThings.how's count (updated Nov 5, 2026). games.gg's list from Oct 30 has 35 of them.
Which weapons turn into a different weapon?
6: The Fanatic's Broken Blade into The Fanatic's Drunken Sword (Fanatic's Obsession); Puppeteer's Bell into Abyssal Bell (Herald's Lingering Threads); Sanguine into Infernal Rouge (Bastion of Mó Mask); Sanguine Reach into Blazing Edge (Flaming Grip); Sanguine Twin into Shadowless Edge (Chaos Twin Daggers); Wild Oriole Sword into Tianmiao · Wild Oriole (Supreme Order Token). Every other material keeps the weapon and adds one art or effect.
Which Soul Tempering material is the hardest to get?
The late ones: Broken Lóng Body (Aureate) is an end-of-game reward, and The Lady's Crown (The Lady's Fan) and Herald's Lingering Threads (Puppeteer's Bell) come from the Meng Hua fight on Mount Soulrend. The four-part sets (Serpent's Memory, Boy's Worn Outfit) and the three-part Restored Ritual Cauldron take the longest to collect.
Do the guides agree on every material?
Not quite. On 3 materials they give different details (the price of Quick Hand's Manual, how you get the Embroidered Shoes and the Baishan Headband); those rows say so. We have not checked these locations in the game ourselves.
