  "account": "To obtain the Outpost cell key in Phantom Blade Zero, begin by exploring the Weeping Creek Valley and reaching the Outpost Courtyard, a small enemy camp. After defeating all enemies, approach the Baishan Disciples to the right of a locked gate. Before speaking with them, inspect the left side of the gate for a short path leading down to a locked cell. To acquire the key, progress through the story to unlock the Outpost. Follow the main path until you locate the Outpost bell near Forge, the smith. Climb the stairs next to the bell, pass through a small gate, and ascend another flight of stairs. Turn right and follow a winding path upward to a house. On the right side of this house, you will find two corpses with an orange-glowing orb. Interact with the orb to collect the Outpost cell key. Once you have the key, return to the Outpost bell and teleport to the Outpost Courtyard. Alternatively, you can directly reach this area by heading there without using the bells. Upon arriving, locate the locked door before the large gate and open it to claim one blackstone fragment. Collecting four of these fragments grants a blackstone, which boosts Soul's attack and guard break by 10%.",
