The Mandate Encampment region is where you progress the Hero or Heretic chapter in Phantom Blade Zero. This region also has Sha-Chi Amber Shards to search and collect – and you can get all of them without requiring any revisits later on for an area to unlock or a wait for a new Phantom Edge exploration ability.
There are 2 Amber Shards in this region which are away from the main exploration path, and with the bosses lined up as you approach end-game, it makes a lot of sense to go and collect every single piece that the game has for you.
In this guide, we have put up the locations for all 4 Amber Shards in the Mandate Encampment region in Phantom Blade Zero
Amber Shard # 1
After acquiring the Bashpole ability by defeating Wan Jun, go to the Sunset Path bell. From here, take a right through the gate, and you will see a place in the cabin where you can use the ability to break through. This takes you to a chest with the first Amber Shard of the region.
Amber Shard #2
Start from the Dovecote bell, and enter the building. Take the ladder, and continue the linear climb till you arrive at a path with wooden planks on your right. Here, turn around, and you will see an opening that you can crouch through to collect Amber Shard # 2.
Amber Shard # 3
Start from The Three Towers bell, and after defeating the Chief of the Seven-Star Formation, and proceed straight from the boss arena. Here, you will spot a stream, follow that to the right. There should be 2 orange shiny collectibles. Take those, and open the gate on the right.
Defeat all enemies, and take the path that goes upwards to a building. Don’t enter yet, look behind to see a path that leads into the garden, and straddles the outer boundary of the building. Follow that path.
Here, at the end, there will be a group of enemies fighting each other.
Clear them out and open the chest containing Amber Shard # 3. This is also the area where 1 of the 6 Memory Flowers of the Mandate Leaders spawns, and is needed to 100% the Mandate Encampment region.
Amber Shard # 4
Start from the Path of the Baishan’s Fall. As you move ahead, you will get ambushed by a group of 4 enemies. Defeat them, to get the last and final Sha-Chi Amber Shard for the Mandate Encampment region.
