In Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) Inferno Cross is the fourth chapter of the main storyline, in which you will have to help the biker gang “Sons of Calydon” win a special race for the title of Leader and control over the oil rigs of the Bypass. To do this, you will need to complete several combat and research orders. In this guide we will tell you how to start and complete this mission.
Walkthrough of the fourth chapter “Inferno Cross” in ZZZ
How to start the mission
Before you can take on this story quest, you'll need to meet a couple of requirements, namely:
- Reach at least Internot level 34.
- Complete the special main story episode called “Undercover Rat.”
If you completed the episode before patch 1.2, you'll likely have the quest “Echoes of the Interlude” active., during which you will first need to talk to your sister/brother at the video rental store. During this conversation, you will learn that the Shepherd wants to meet us and tell us something.
Say that you are “ready”and after that, a conversation with your informant will immediately begin. He will tell you about the Bypass and the bikers living there. Then watch a short comic, in which you will learn about the fate of Perlman. Now you finally have the fourth chapter of “Inferno Cross” starting. Start tracking it in your diary.
Meet Billy
Exit to Sixth Street and head to the alley behind Inspector Meowchelo to find Billy standing next to a truck and a Red Mockus banbu. He'll tell you about the Sons of Calidon gang and ask you to go with him to the Bypass. After a short conversation with him, return to your sister/brother and tell her everything.
Then say that you are “ready”, to continue the quest. Talk to Billy again and go with him to the Bypass. Watch another comic in which you and your partner get into a cavern because of a strange driver who tried to ram you. A combat order will begin.
Saving the drowning is their own doing
Unfortunately, you will have to play as a trial Billy, who is definitely not among the strongest characters. Plus, he has rather mediocre health and defense indicators, so beware of enemy attacks. You will have to activate 2 probes. To do this, you need to drive away the etherials from them.
Billy is a ranged fighter, so try to stay away from monsters and attack them from afar. Your bullets can slightly push enemies away, so you can use your shots to keep them outside the blue circle. These mobs can also shoot, so if you see a red halo near them, dodge immediately.
You will also be periodically attacked by small etherials that will start to pounce on your character and then immediately explode. So do not try to attack them – it is better to just dodge and wait for them to self-destruct. After dealing with all the enemies or filling the gauge to 100%, go to the second probe.
Here you will encounter more dangerous melee enemies. Again, try not to get too close to them, attack from afar. Don't forget to use special attacks (E) and super ability (Q). Go to the next point and simply defeat the group of enemies. Then watch the video with the appearance of Caesar and Lightyear.
Your team will be joined by Caesar (Defense: Physical), who can cast a strong shield on the active character, give him an attack power boost, and effectively stun enemies. You can read more about her in our separate guide. We advise you to use her when fighting an elite enemy, since although she is considered a support, she can still cause considerable damage.
Next, listen to a conversation between old acquaintances, which will lead to the completion of the order. If you can complete all the tasks, you will receive an “S” grade and the maximum reward, including 60 Polychromes.
Talk to Billy and greet the village chief
Watch a new funny video with the “funeral” of the main character. Then talk to Caesar and Lucy. In the end, you will be given a room in Blazewood. The next morning, go to Billy and talk to him and Caesar.
