The short answer: to find Pei in Phantom Blade Zero and finish A Puppet's Wooden Heart, you carry the Songstress Puppet's letter to Pei and hand it over in person. Pei is the NPC you deliver the Songstress Puppet's letter to as part of A Puppet's Wooden Heart, and the phantom blade zero release date is not needed to complete it.
On Pei's location: Pei is the NPC you deliver the Songstress Puppet's letter to for A Puppet's Wooden Heart; see GameRant's 'Where to Find Pei (A Puppet's Wooden Heart) in Phantom Blade Zero' for his location, and cross-check your in-game quest objective for the current delivery step. Use the steps below to make sure you arrive with everything the hand-in requires.
What you need before you set out
- Phantom Blade Zero on PS5 or PC (Steam), current as of the 29 October 2026 launch.
- The Songstress Puppet's letter in your inventory, obtained as part of A Puppet's Wooden Heart.
- Access to the area the quest sends you through.

Start A Puppet's Wooden Heart and pick up the letter
- Trigger the side quest first.
- Confirm the letter shows in your quest items before you travel. If it is missing, you have not advanced the quest far enough.
- Read the quest objective text in your journal as an in-game cross-check against any guide, including this one.
Follow the quest trail toward Pei
Pei is the NPC you deliver the Songstress Puppet's letter to for A Puppet's Wooden Heart; see GameRant's 'Where to Find Pei (A Puppet's Wooden Heart) in Phantom Blade Zero' for his location, and cross-check your in-game quest objective for the current delivery step.
Pei is the delivery target for this quest.
Deliver the letter to Pei
- Talk to Pei with the letter in your inventory.
- Take the dialogue path that hands the letter over. Read the dialogue choices carefully and pick the option that hands the letter over.
- Stay in the conversation until it ends, then check your journal to confirm the quest state.

Handle the adjacent tasks players hit at the same time
Two other objectives in the same area are separate from A Puppet's Wooden Heart.
Prayer Beads go to a monk, not to Pei. Keep the two turn-ins separate so you do not confuse the NPCs, they are different quests with different recipients. (Source: GameRant's "Where to Turn In Prayer Beads in Phantom Blade Zero".)
The Outpost in Weeping Creek Valley is a separate guard puzzle to unlock the western side. It is not part of this quest, so if you are stuck there, that is a different problem to solve. (Source: GameRant's "How to Go Past the Guards at the Outpost in Phantom Blade Zero".)
Use the chapter list to place the quest in the campaign if you are unsure how far along you should be. Phantom Blade Zero is a fast, wuxia-flavored action RPG rather than a Soulslike, and a chapter list is available if you want to place the quest in the campaign.
Common mistakes
- Confusing Pei with the Prayer Beads monk or a vendor. They are different turn-ins.
- Leaving the conversation early and assuming the quest finished when the journal never flipped.
- Rushing the route at low health, dying to route combat, and then losing track of where the quest left you.
If you lose your place or the hand-in does not register: open the journal and re-read the A Puppet's Wooden Heart objective to confirm which step is still live, check that the letter is still sitting in your quest items, and re-approach Pei to talk again.
Clean up the rest of your side-quest log
Once the letter is delivered, the area still has work worth banking before you move on. Turn in the Prayer Beads with the monk while you are nearby, then push past the Outpost guards in Weeping Creek Valley to open the western side. Both are quick wins that clear clutter from your journal.
Finally, check the chapter list to see what main-story content sits after this quest. Phantom Blade Zero launched on 29 October 2026; Shacknews's review is headlined 'Soulful swordplay'.
