Players who are stuck on the Gentle Thief’s quiz in Phantom Blade Zero’s Honor Among Thieves quest now have access to detailed answer guides from various sources. Both PCGamesN’s breakdown and GamesRadar’s walkthrough cover every question the character poses and highlight the reward for getting it right.
This quiz involves dialogue rather than combat, which is a key point in an action game typically filled with boss fights. Answering incorrectly can waste your time as you retry, which explains the surge in guide availability lately.
PCGamesN presents its guide as a way to “get on with your day and collect the reward.” Meanwhile, GamesRadar describes its guide as providing the necessary answers to the Gentle Thief’s inquiries. It’s a good idea to cross-reference both guides with your in-game dialogue, as the order of questions can confuse players who skim through.
Honor Among Thieves is just one of the optional quests in the game. PCGamesN also offers a complete quest list that categorizes main story quests, side quests, and collectible quests. Additionally, Game Rant has released a separate walkthrough for the Festering Secret quest, detailing the chain-sealed courtyard and the captain’s orders.
Performance is another ongoing concern. MP1st reports on a day-one update, version 1.301.524, aimed at boosting performance. If you’re experiencing stuttering or loading issues while searching for side quests, make sure to install this update before proceeding.
In terms of combat, PC Gamer suggests that the best weapon might actually be the first one you acquire, the Jagged Steel. They also mention that bleed builds are making a comeback. Players tackling quests like Honor Among Thieves will rely on whatever weapon they feel most comfortable with.
