In Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)Banbu's Limb is an exploration mission where you can rescue Beetroot and Jeff, unlocking the good ending and earning two achievements: “Loyal Banbu” and “Rise and Shine! Work Awaits!” In this guide, we'll show you how to start the mission and complete it to get the best ending.
Banbu's Limb Quest Walkthrough
How to Start the Quest
Before you can begin completing it, you'll need to reach at least Internot Level 42. Then, head to the Pedestrian Zone checkpoint in Lumina Plaza and turn around right away. You'll see the Excited Researcher standing in the alleyway next to a weird guy in a helmet to the left of the AIC Club entrance.
Chat with the girl. She will ask you to find Abigail, who will be waiting for you near the subway entrance on the other side of the street. Banbu is standing next to her. Teleport to the local inspector Meowchelo, and then turn around and you will see the young lady in a mask with green hair you need.
Go to her and tell her that you have a message for her. You can choose any answer “Felia won't come”. She will tell you about Jeff, who is stuck in a cavern, and then go alone to the subway. Return to Felia (the researcher in glasses) and give her Abigail's answer. After that, you will receive the order “Limb Banbu”.
Return to the video store, interact with the HDD system, select the “Chapter 2 Insert Story” and find the corresponding order in the “Exploration” section. You can encounter a variety of enemies in this mission, so just take your most upgraded squad.
Important: This quest has two endings – bad and good. Below we will tell you in detail how to open the best ending, as well as get all the dennies, surveillance data packages and other rewards.
Collect the first surveillance data package
Go to the center and down to open a secret cell, which will contain the 1st Surveillance Data Packet. Next, stand on the cell with the suspicious cavern raider. He will tell you about the treasure radar, which he is willing to part with if you give him 2000 sherlings.
Remember it, as you will need to purchase this device to get the next data packet. For now, enter the funnel from the right side.
Follow Banbu's Shadow
Once you reach the second floor, start following Banbu's shadow through the gaps. The correct order is as follows: right, up, left, and down. The screenshots below show the correct routes.
Be sure to collect all the sheathlings along the way to get the required amount. You will also have to step on red cells that will lower your squad's health – do not worry, as you will be able to heal them later.
Follow the real Banbu shadow
Now you will be able to see Banbu shadows near all the gaps, but only one of them will be real. To dispel the fake phantoms, you just need to walk past them. In the screenshots below, we have shown the correct options that you will need to go through.
Collect the Second Surveillance Data Packet
Once you have 2,000 sherlings, return to the suspicious raider by entering any wrong gap. Then buy the treasure radar from him. Then stand on the gap on the right again and choose the first option “Go straight through the gap” to get to the next level.
Go through the blue portal at the bottom, then through the portal on the left and the funnel above, and finally through the gap on the right. As a result, you will find yourself in a new area with a surveillance data package, suitcases, and other rewards. After collecting the treasures, go back to the very first level.
Restart the order
Next, we recommend that you restart the job to collect the third Surveillance Data Packet, unlock the true ending, and unlock the secret achievements during the second run. Your previous progress will be saved, so you won’t have to collect all the rewards again.
To restart the mission, press “Esc” to go to the main menu, then click the “Surrender” button.
Note: It is entirely possible to get an “S” rank in a single playthrough of the quest – simply skip to the “Defeat the Ethereal” step and head to the correct rift marked below to get the third package. However, this will not allow you to save Beetroot and Jeff, so you will get the bad ending.
Take the Shortest Route
To save Jeff and Beetroot, you need to take the shortest route to them. To do this, follow the same route as in the “Follow Banbu's Shadow” and “Follow Banbu's Real Shadow” sections. Ignore all other events and bonuses, and go straight to the gaps!
Defeat the Ethereal
This will take you back to the area you left off in last time. Go forward and engage the enemy standing in your way. Next, a combat challenge will begin, where you will have to fight random Ethereals. At the end, an elite enemy will be waiting for you.
After dealing with the monsters, you will receive Concentrated Sedative. Do NOT use it under any circumstances, as you will need it later. Now enter the gap located ahead to move to a new area.
Wake up Jeff with a concentrated sedative
After entering the new zone, go to its center and stand on the cell with Jeff, then use the concentrated sedative on him, choosing the second answer. As a result, you will save him and unlock the trophy “Rise and Shine! Work Awaits!”. Plus, he will leave behind a purple suitcase.
Next, head to the gap on the right side to reach a new area and rescue Abigail and her Banbu.
Save Beet
Once you reach the new level, head to the right and stand on the enemy cell to begin a new combat challenge, during which you will have to deal with several groups of Ethereals, including one elite enemy.
After dealing with the enemies, you will return to the playing field. Collect all the suitcases and start climbing up and to the right until you see a cage with Banbu. Stand on it to save Beetroot and unlock the Loyal Banbu achievement.
Collect the Third Surveillance Data Packet
Banbu will show you Abigail's location. Go down and collect the third sphere, saving the girl along the way. Then stand on the square with the finish flag to complete this order. If you followed our instructions, you will save all the people and get an “S” rating.
Now return to Lumina Square by moving to the “Sage in a Barrel” point and Talk to Felia. She will tell you that everything is fine with Ebi and that the girl is currently undergoing treatment. This will end the mission.
