Most traversal Phantom Edges in Phantom Blade Zero appear as you play through the main story, but You Loong's Deluge is different. It's not far off the beaten path, and you need it to complete one of the side quests, but it's still easy to miss if you don't explore every corner. It's one of the more useful Phantom Edges in the game because it lets you reach areas you can't access without it. You can also use it effectively in combat, making it a great asset in Soul's arsenal. Here's how to get your hands on You Loong's Deluge. Where To Find You Loong's Deluge You Loong's Deluge can be found in Pangzhen, northwest of the Green Serpent House and southwest of the Lion Dance Hall, with the latter being the closest bell. Unfortunately, it can be found in the possession of You Loong, Leader of the Blackwater Crew. If you're coming from the Green Serpent House, you can easily walk right past You Loong, because he actually isn't visible from the main path. You have to hang a bit to the left of the main path and explore a bit before you find the wide-open space that's always indicative of a fight. You can identify this wide-open space by a large body of water filled with candle-lit lanterns floating on the surface. As you approach, You Loong will burst from the water and initiate the fight that earns you You Loong's Deluge. How To Beat You Loong, Leader Of The Blackwater Crew Surprisingly, You Loong isn't an exceptionally challenging fight, though that depends on your build at the time. He's not overly massive, not exceptionally fast and doesn't hit hard enough to drain your health in one strike. Most of his attacks can be parried or blocked easily, and he doesn't have many red-glint attacks you have to dodge. One main thing to keep in mind is to take advantage of him when he dives below the water. While he's under, you can not damage each other, so it's a great opportunity to heal with medicines that replenish HP over time. After a while, he'll burst from the water and use small ranged attacks, but you can easily parry them. If you want to attack him before he comes out of the water on his own, you can walk directly to the section of bubbles that indicates where he is, and he'll burst out regardless of where he is, using the same ranged attack as he would otherwise. It's a good way to corner him or get the jump on your next flurry of attacks. Keep following this pattern until you've whittled down his health, staying patient and using the periods when he stays underwater. After enough cycles, you'll claim You Loong's Deluge. How To Use You Loong's Deluge You Loong's Deluge is one of the Phantom Edges in the game that's really the most beneficial depending on what build you're using. It creates a constant stream of water you can use to push enemies away while also applying the wet condition. This means that after you use it on an enemy, they become more susceptible to both lightning and ice damage, so if you're using weapons that apply those conditions, pairing them with You Loong's Deluge will be exceptionally useful. It's also useful against enemies that use fire weapons. After using the Deluge on one of these enemies, you will do higher damage to them, regardless of what weapons you're using. You can also use it as a traversal item because it lets you extinguish the large, burning branches that block some pathways throughout the world, regardless of whether you have it equipped. This opens up more doors to collect some of Quick Hand Zhang's treasures and extra resources.
