In Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ), the Astra-nomic Moment is a special edition of the main storyline, during which you will be able to get to know the singer Astara Yao and her bodyguard Evelin better. To do this, you will have to go through a series of combat trials, fighting many different enemies. In this guide you will be able to learn how to start and complete this mission.
Walkthrough of the special edition “Astra-nomic moment” in ZZZ
How to start the task
Before you can take on the passage of this quest, you will have to meet some conditions, which include:
- Reach at least the 36th level of Internot.
- Complete part of the fifth chapter of the storyline called “Light interlude – How the bird flew out of the cage.”
Note that you can lower the requirements for passage by using the “Early Show”” function. As a result, the task will start automatically and will appear in your Diary. Then, the first thing you will need to do is talk to your brother/sister at the video rental store. Agree to watch Astra's performance on TV.
Meet the client
Watch the comic, and then start discussing buying tickets to Astra's concert. Unfortunately, you won't have time to get them, but you will have a new order. Interact with the HDD system and watch the cutscene, during which you will meet the singer – chat with her. You will learn that she is looking for the original Yoran's record.
Next, a combat test will begin, in which you will take control of Astra Yao (Support: Ether). This heroine is a support, but in this case she can act as a damage dealer. Just attack opponents in the “Perfect Cadence” state to give buffs to the singer herself. To exit this mode, you need to hold down the basic attack or dodge button. You can read more about it in our guide.
As part of this order, you will need to explore a small location, following Banbu and picking up quest items. In areas located outside the main route, you can find 2 missing mini-trucks. Their location and the completion of the entire mission is demonstrated in the video above.
How to defeat all enemies
After completing the mission, watch another animated video where Astra meets Evelyn. Soon, the bodyguard will notice that they are being followed, so she decides to break away from them through the subcavern. A new combat test will begin, and you will take control of Astra and Evelyn.
Evelyn can play the role of the main damage dealer. Her attacks lead to the accumulation of the “Incineration” effect (the scale under the heroine's portrait). Having collected from 50% and above, hold down the basic or special attack button to activate the Garrote and receive 1 Flame Thread. Having accumulated 3 threads, you can turn the Garrote into a chain of attacks. Do not forget to start the fight with Astra's special attack to receive buffs.
Run forward and fight the first group of ordinary bandits. After dealing with them, go up to the elevator and go down to the lower level. Run after the quest marker and deal with the second group of opponents, among whom there will be one elite enemy. After destroying them, run to the next pointer.
Once you reach the arena, you will encounter a mini-boss. Note that this enemy is extremely aggressive, constantly attacking the character, so we advise you to dodge his attacks more often. Having dealt with him, go to the car and talk to the Odeon guard. When Astra leaves, go back and pick up the communicator lying on the ground.
Call and check suspicious people
You will be automatically transported to the city. Run forward to the payphone and call it, indicating the necessary password. You will agree on a meeting, but before that, check if there is anything suspicious here. To do this, chat with General Chop or the Iron Coffee Maker.
Next, go to the alley and meet an old friend, who turns out to be a hacker named Rain. She will be able to extract information from the flash drive. Evelyn will understand who is behind the attack on Astra. Then listen to the conversation between them and watch a beautiful cutscene.
Head to the concert
Listen to the conversation between your brother and sister, and then go to the concert using your car. You will get to a new location. Go to your sister/brother and talk to them, and then ask a passerby to take a photo of you and your family. Point the camera at the characters and take a photo.
Then chat with Evelyn, who will understand that you are the legendary “Phaeton”. Then Astra will appear, running away from the director. Together, you will run into a dark corner, where you will meet Yoran's wife. Continue watching funny scenes and comics. You will again gain control over the bodyguard. Tell Astra that you need to leave.
How to find all suspicious objects
First of all, check the food cart next to the sofa. The note you find will talk about something golden. Next, go to the sculpture “Golden Records”. You will understand that the first clue is the number “8”.
Take the elevator and head to the Hall of Glints. Then go to the tub with the golden plant and examine the bent piece of paper with the inscription “Landing”. Then look at the portrait of Astra, where the word “upstairs” will be scratched. Evelyn will decipher the entire message and will want to meet Hobson in the atrium.
Hobson learns that Eva is a Fugue spy. A fight with his guards will begin. Deal with two groups of opponents, after which watch a beautiful video in which Astra begins to sing, and the entire stage rises into the sky. Next, deal with the Fugue goons.
After defeating the enemies, climb the stairs even higher and fight a new group of mobs, including one elite enemy. After destroying them, run forward and enter the VIP box to ask Phaeton for help. Watch the comic, after which control will pass to Astra Yao.
Deal with several opponents until Eveline comes to your aid. Then the combat stage will begin again. Don't forget to bring Astra onto the field first to activate her buffs, and then fight the enemies as Eva. You will have to defeat a couple of elite enemies. At the end, chat with “Phaeton”.
How to defeat Terrorpter
Next, the battle with the boss will begin – Terrorpter, which is a large combat machine that will launch rockets at you and perform jumping attacks. First, use Astra's special attack to give buffs to the damage dealer, and then switch to Evelyn and start hitting the enemy, accumulating the scale.
As soon as you get more than 50%, immediately hold the basic attack button to get thread charges, so that after gaining 3 levels you can perform one powerful blow. Don't forget to also use Astra's super ability to heal the team. We will add that Eva's special attack will allow you to accumulate charges faster.
After defeating the boss, watch another comic. Next, you will need to go in a circle, fighting various opponents, and then restart the harmonic cores. You will have to activate three devices. Then watch another beautiful video in which the crisis can be avoided thanks to a song.
Meet Eva
You will be transported to the center of the Security Service, playing as Astra. Go forward and approach Eva, who is talking to Qingyi. After talking to the policewoman, you will be transported to Sixth Street. Go to the supermarket and buy a gift for Belle and Weisz.
After buying the cake, go to the “special place” opposite Enzo's workshop. After listening to the girls' conversation, enter the video rental store. Watch the new comic. This will complete the quest. As a reward, you will receive 1200 Internet credits, 50 polychromes, 25 thousand denni and pumping materials.
We will add that you will be able to re-watch the comics and cutscenes from the building using the video archive in the proxy office (go to the “Special Edition” section). In addition, as part of patch 1.5, there will be a temporary event “On Harmonies and Agreements” related to Astra and allowing you to earn additional polychromes by completing combat trials.
