Hollow Zero Inferno Reap Operation Reaper Guide for Zenless Zone Zero

To begin unlocking Inferno Reap, players must fulfil the following criteria:

• Minimum Inter-Knot Lv.42
• Completed the "Withering Garden - Core" Challenge in Hollow Zero

Players must have a Lv.42 Inter-Knot account to unlock and complete the "Abandoned Skyscraper - Core," which is one of the pre-requisite requirements for unlocking the "Withering Garden - Core" operation.

After completing the above criteria, you will receive a commission called "Foliage Hunt," which is categorized as part of the Hollow Zero commission series. To progress, players must travel to Scott Outpost - Interior and speak with Ray and Roland, who will explain the commission details.

Check out the next section on the "Foliage Hunt" commission to continue unlocking Inferno Reap!

Players are recommended to have a squad with an average level of 55. Agents and Bangboo below the recommended level may struggle with completing the commissions for Inferno Reap.

Once players have completed the pre-requisite criteria, you will receive the "Foliage Hunt" Hollow Zero commission from Ray, who is located in Scott Outpost - Interior. Players can access the Scott Outpost from the Travel menu shortcut or from using the Business Car in other locations.

After reaching Scott Outpost - Interior, head inside the tent to talk with Ray and Roland, who will go over the commission details with you.

After finishing the cutscene, players will receive the Combat: Challenge commission known as "Foliage Hunt," which can be accessed through the Hollow Zero computer, or through the Hollow Deep Dive System (HDD) at Random Play.

Through the Hollow Zero computer at Scott Outpost: Select to "Participate in Operation Reaper: Eviction" (First Option).

Through the Hollow Deep Dive System (HDD) at Random Play: the Combat Commission can be found under Chapter 3, known as [Challenge] Foliage Hunt.

After completing the commission successfully, players can continue the second phase of Operation Reaper at the Scott Outpost - Interior. This time, you will interact with Roland instead of Ray.

Afterwards, talk with Tsukishiro Yanagi and Harumasa just outside the tent to unlock the Inferno Reap challenge in Hollow Zero.

The Inferno Reap challenge can be accessed through the Hollow Zero menu inside the tent at Scott Outpost - Interior.

After completing the Inferno Reap challenge with at least 5,000,000 DMG dealt to Nineveh, players will be able to finish the chain of commissions and receive the commission rewards.

To prepare for Infernal Reap, whether it is your first time doing the Time Trial Challenge, or your last time for the final primer mission rewards, feel free to use the checklist below to help you successfully combat Nineveh and earn all the rewards available!

The player's goal in Inferno Reap is to deal as much damage as possible to Nineveh before the time runs out. While in combat, there are three primary gameplay features to keep in mind:

• Challenge Missions
• Time Limit and Extensions
• Overload Activation

When beginning the Time Trial Challenge, players will be able to briefly review the Challenge Targets required to reach certain completion scores. These Challenge Targets reset every time you begin an Inferno Reap challenge.

• For a score of C, complete the challenge with below 5,000,000 damage dealt (No Targets Met).
• For a score of B, complete the challenge with at least 5,000,000 damage dealt (One Target Met).
• For a score of A, complete the challenge with at least 10,000,000 damage dealt (Two Targets Met).
• For a score of S, complete the challenge with at least 15,000,000 damage dealt (All Targets Met).

While in combat, Fairy will update the player on how much damage has been dealt so far. You can also check the damage progress by reviewing Nineveh's health bar on the screen, or through the Commission Details in the Pause menu.

Regardless of the Challenge Targets, there are no rewards per challenge completed. However, completing certain Challenge Targets or objectives may fulfill missions for Inferno Reap. Please see the Rewards section for more information.

Players will have a minimum time limit of three minutes (3:00) to complete the Time Trial Challenge. This time limit will begin counting down after Nineveh is ready for combat.

Players can also extend the time limit by defeating enemies in combat. After accumulating a certain amount of Ether activity, Nineveh will re-enter her activation cycle, generating more enemies on the field:

Defeating the Constricting Vines will increase the time limit by 1 second each.

Defeating the Hornets will increase the time limit by 3 seconds each. These Hornets can strike at any time during the challenge.

During the challenge, Nineveh will enter several phases of Overload Activation. In each phase, she will both deal and receive more damage. The Overload Activation will progressively increase in strength over time, and each phase can be prolonged by defeating Hornets or Constricting Vines.

At the start of combat, Nineveh will not have any Overload Activation. She will deal and take the base amount of damage.

At 2 minutes remaining, Nineveh will reach 30% Overload Activation, meaning she will both deal and take 30% more damage.

At 1 minute remaining, Nineveh will reach 60% Overload Activation, meaning she will both deal and take 60% more damage.

In the last 30 seconds of the challenge, Nineveh will reach 90% Overload Activation, meaning she will both deal and take 90% more damage.
