Phantom Blade Zero completion achievement ("Defy Destiny")

"Defy Destiny" unlocks when you have every other achievement, so it works like a platinum on Steam. On 2026-11-10, 7.6% of Steam players had it. To get it you need all 31 hidden story and boss achievements, the 9 side-quest ones and the 16 weapon-move ones, which ask you to use specific weapons' special moves.

Missable and difficulty achievements in Phantom Blade Zero

None of the 66 official descriptions mentions a difficulty setting. Steam doesn't say whether an achievement can be missed, and we haven't tested each one, so we don't label any as missable. If you are going for completion, check the side-quest list before leaving an area, since side quests are tied to named characters and places.
