Quick answer: Green Serpent Brew is most likely a gift from Xie Xiaorong, the healer inside the Green Serpent House in Pangzhen. At Lv 1 it removes all status effects, increases status resistance by 75% for 15 seconds, and gradually restores 20% HP over the same duration.
Where to find Green Serpent Brew
In Phantom Blade Zero, Green Serpent Brew is a healing remedy assigned to a medicine slot. Find it in Pangzhen, at the Green Serpent House. Its pin sits on the spot of Xie Xiaorong, the healer on the house’s ground floor about 31 m from the Green Serpent House bell, so it is most likely his gift. He is also the one who upgrades your medicine.
- Region: Pangzhen
- Nearest bell: Green Serpent House
- How: most likely a gift from Xie Xiaorong
Rest at the Green Serpent House bell before searching, so dying brings you back nearby. The Pangzhen interactive map shows the brew’s pin and every bell in the region; select the pin to see its details.

The Lv 1 effect reads:
“Removes all status effects, increases status resistance by 75% for 15 seconds, and gradually restores 20% HP over the same duration.”

“Years ago, Xie Huichun devoted half his life to finding a way to reverse Transcension. His unfinished formula eventually found its way to the Green Serpent House, where it underwent numerous revisions before becoming the remedy it is today.”
Green Serpent Brew upgrades
Each upgrade costs Remnant Dust. Every level keeps the full status cleanse; what changes is the resistance bonus, how long it lasts, how much HP it restores, and how many uses you get.
| Level | Effect | Uses | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 2 | 75% resistance, 15s, 20% HP | 4 | 2,800 Remnant Dust |
| Lv 3 | 80% resistance, 15s, 20% HP | 4 | 4,200 Remnant Dust |
| Lv 4 | 80% resistance, 15s, 30% HP | 4 | 5,600 Remnant Dust |
| Lv 5 | 80% resistance, 15s, 30% HP | 5 | 7,000 Remnant Dust |
| Lv 6 | 80% resistance, 25s, 30% HP | 5 | 8,400 Remnant Dust |
| Lv 7 | 80% resistance, 25s, 40% HP | 5 | 9,800 Remnant Dust |
Taking the brew from Lv 1 to Lv 7 costs 37,800 Remnant Dust in total. Medicine upgrades use Healer’s Memory materials: Apprentice at Lv. 2, Skilled at Lv. 2-4, and Master from Lv. 4 through max level. Quick Hand Zhang stocks these materials. Xie Xiaorong does the upgrading too; how to upgrade medicine has the full cost of every level.
What Green Serpent Brew is good for
A single use clears every status effect, boosts status resistance for 15 seconds (25 seconds at Lv 6), and gradually restores HP during that period. Bring it into fights where enemies stack status effects on you.
If one status keeps coming up, accessories cut it permanently instead. Flameward covers fire and Burn, and the Congeal Talisman covers Bleed. There are other ways to take less damage as well.
