The Prophecy Quest Information

The Prophecy Commission Details

HDD Chapter Chapter 2
Required Inter-Knot Level 40
Enemy Level 50
Location Sixth Street
Client Work ID: 7
Time Anytime

The Prophecy is different from most other commissions as it has multiple endings.

It is also a very time-consuming quest as it is entirely in the Hollow, taking an hour or two to finish.

The Prophecy Endings

Ending Requirement
True Ending Befriend All 14 Bangboos
Hidden Ending Befriend 0 Bangboos

One of the endings is the True Ending which requires you to befriend all 14 Bangboos you encounter in the journey. This guide will focus on getting the True Ending to allow you to get all the supply boxes and Hollow Observation Data.

The Hidden Ending is much harder to achieve, requiring you to avoid befriending any Bangboo. Successfully clearing this rewards the Hero's Journey achievement and the Final Director's Cut Trophy for the PS5.

How to Unlock The Prophecy

Reach Inter-Knot Level 40

The Prophecy becomes available after reaching Inter-Knot Level 40 and clearing Path of the Proxy III. The Prophecy can be done once you see The Tower, Reversed on your schedule.

Talk to Roy in the Afternoon

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (2)

Once you reach Inter-Knot Level 40, you can get The Tower, Reversed on your schedule. Find Roy by the payphone during the afternoon and talk to him. He'll be talking about going to the arcade with Jonah.

Talk to Flustered Passerby at Midnight

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (3)

Let time pass by doing other commissions and return to the payphone at midnight. Talk to the nearby flustered passerby, which will lead you to answer the payphone.

Accept Commission on the Inter-Knot

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (4)

Get some rest and check the Inter-Knot the next day. Open the commission by Work ID:7 who needs someone skilled at exploring weird Hollows. Accept it to get a message which will let you take The Prophecy commission.

The Prophecy Hollow Guide

The Prophecy Hollow Guide

Step-By-Step Guide

  1. Focus on Raising STR and ATK Early
  2. Collect Gear Coins
  3. Obtain Holy Sword, Shield, and Armor
  4. Befriend All Virtues and Sins
  5. Strengthen Your Hero
  6. Defeat the Corrupted Human
  7. Call for Help
  8. Defeat the First Hero for True Ending
  9. Talk to Friends to Get Rewards

Focus on Raising STR and ATK Early

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (5)

At the start of the Hero's Journey, your agents will be sent back, leaving you to explore the Hollow yourself. Allocate at least 5 points to STR when distributing your initial stats for the journey. This will let you destroy a nearby vending machine to get a Cross Blast bomb.

Raising STR early on also lets you defeat enemies more easily, potentially reducing turns and saving HP.

Raise All Stats as You Progress

You'll encounter several stat gates, some of which are needed for Observation Data. Stats are gained from events and by grinding the Wandering Ethereals. Aim for 50 of every stat once you're ready for the final battle.

Collect Gear Coins

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (6)

Gear Coins are heavily used in this commission. They can be used to boost stats, open passages, and even befriend some Bangboos. You can get Gear Coins by collecting them from tiles as usual and by defeating Ethereals all over the map.

Obtain Holy Sword, Shield, and Armor

Holy Equipment Requirement Effect
The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (7) Holy Sword Unlock Gates of Trials (requires 30 STR, DEX, and INT) ATK +25, CRIT DMG +25%

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (8)

Holy Shield
Craft with Vulcan using 1 Buckler, 1 Hardest Iron, and 5000 Gear Coins. Incoming attacks have a 10% chance of healing you instead. HP+150.

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (9)

Holy Armor
Befriend Modesty Attacks deal additional damage equal to 5% of your HP. HP +500.

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (10)

True Holy Sword
Steal from Corrupted Human (40 DEX) and pull it out (requires STR and INT). Attacks never miss. ATK is doubled.

To fulfill the prophecy, you'll need one of each Holy Equipment. These provide beneficial effects to your hero. The first three are also near Hollow Observation Data, so you'll need to get them all to get an S Rank clear for the commission.

Buckler and Hardest Iron Location

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (11)

To get the Buckler, go southeast from Vulcan's location where there are 4 Gear Coin gates and 4 red Ethereals. Destroy one of the bricks with a bomb to access the abandoned building screen which contains the Buckler. In case you don't have bombs, there is a hidden vending machine in the center of the Gear Coins and requires 25 STR to smash open.

The Hardest Iron is found by defeating and befriending Humhum, a dog you can encounter in the journey.

Befriend All Virtues and Sins

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (12)

To get to the True Ending, you must befriend all 7 Virtues and 7 Sins. In general, defeating Sins is enough to befriend them but you'll need to assist Virtues to get them to join you. The background will change once you've befriended all 14 Bangboos.

Strengthen Your Hero

Steal the True Holy Sword

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (27)

You can choose to steal the True Holy Sword from the Corrupted Human if you have 40 DEX. Pulling it out is not guaranteed, and the chance increases with higher STR. Failing to pull it out reduces HP, but you can receive a lower HP penalty with higher INT.

Increase Stats with Enhancement Devices

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (28)
If your stats are lacking, look for Enhancement Devices which can boost your stats greatly. These require 50 of a certain stat to use.

Defeat the Corrupted Human

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (29)

When you've gained enough ATK and HP, face the Corrupted Human (ATK: 400, HP: 11000) near the end and defeat them.

Call for Help

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (30)

After beating the corrupted human for the first time, you'll be asked to choose to call the Virtue Faction, Sin Faction, or All. This decides the ending of the commission. Select All and insist on choosing both sides to get the True Ending. However, if you haven't befriended all 14 Bangboos and select All, nobody will appear to help.

If you didn't befriend any Bangboos, this will lead to the Hidden Ending instead.

Defeat the First Hero for True Ending

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (31)

If you select All, you'll face off against the First Hero (ATK: 280, HP: 28000, STR: 61, DEX: 46, INT: 43). Beating it will reveal the true final boss, and all the Virtues and Sins will arrive to assist you.

Talk to Friends to Get Rewards

The Prophecy Quest Guide | Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)|Game8 (32)

At the end of the Hero's Journey, each Bangboo you befriended will give you an Elite Investigator's Supply Box. Collect them all and leave to end the commission.
