Boss facts
The trophy You Loong, Yan Qiansui and the One-Eyed Archer unlocks
Defeating You Loong, Yan Qiansui and the One-Eyed Archer awards one trophy. Here is the exact requirement and how the naming differs between platforms.
Defeat Blackwater Leader You Loong, Zither Maiden Yan Qiansui, and the One-Eyed Archer in the Meigu Lake area
The Meigu Lake fight. You Loong also shows up in Pangzhen, but only the lake encounter counts for this one — the Steam-exclusive “Turning the Tide” needs both.
How to reach and beat You Loong, Yan Qiansui and the One-Eyed Archer
Most trophy requirements in Phantom Blade Zero are positional rather than mechanical: you are in the right region at the right moment, or you have cleared the preceding encounter. That makes the region list on this page the most useful part of it — the fight itself usually unfolds in a fixed arena once the trigger fires.
Check the region row above before you spend time searching for the fight. Several of these encounters are triggered by a story beat rather than a marker on the map, and a few only become available after you have completed the previous objective in the same area.
The Steam achievement names on this site are the official ones, copied from the Steam achievement list. Some trophy guides use different wording for the same entry — the Platinum is the obvious one — so alternate names are listed alongside.
Before you move on
This entry is not connected to a quest that can be lost. Most bosses in the game are safe to fight in any order — but the side quests are not, and eight of them fail permanently if you trigger the story past them. Check the missable quest list before you advance a region.

Does You Loong, Yan Qiansui and the One-Eyed Archer have a trophy on PlayStation too?+
