To unlock the full Weeping Creek Valley map in Phantom Blade Zero, you must explore three optional areas, including the land west of the Outpost and the Creek Valley Plains. To unfog the most mysterious spots on the first map, you may have to progress in the main story further than you think. Here's how to unfog the map in Phantom Blade Zero's Weeping Creek Valley.
In Phantom Blade Zero, every region map is clouded until you've found most of the bells (teleport waypoints). Each time you discover a new bell, the surrounding area will be revealed, which means you'll slowly "unfog" the map as you progress. However, since some areas are optional, it's possible to continue the main story without unlocking them.
The Weeping Creek Valley map contains three such areas; even if you've reached the next map, the Crimson Forest, you may have missed them. Here's how to unfog each of these areas in the same order as shown on this map. To unfog the first location, teleport to the Valley Sha-Chi Tower, 1st Floor bell.
Walk into the building, passing the furnace on the right, and look for a hole in the floor (it emits a faint red glow). In the lower valley, defeat the minor enemies and turn left, toward the glade with the red flowers. You must defeat its resident mini-boss, Hua, The Betrothed, to unlock the bell and unfog the map.
Unfogging the Creek Valley Plains requires some backtracking. First, defeat the Weeping Creek Valley's main boss, The Hunt. Doing so will reward you with The Hunt's weapon, Hunter's Chain Sickle.
In other words, you must unlock the Crimson Forest region before you can unlock this optional Weeping Creek Valley area. Once you've got the required weapon, teleport to Valley Sha-Chi Tower Summit. Follow the path across the roof until you see the ledge with the orange-glowing item.
