How to level up all trust levels with Seth in ZZZ
Requirements: Complete the “Chapter 2 Insert Story: Mission Impossible” storyline, then meet Seth at the noodle shop in Lumina Square (evening or night) and offer to make an order for him – this random event will unlock the agent chat.
With the release of version 1.4, players have more ways to pump up trust with knocked out agents:
- Using invitations in Knock-knock contacts;
- Through random encounters;
- Using the “Joint Walk” function.
Below we will discuss in detail what events await during the increase of friendship with Seth, how to respond in dialogues to receive trust bonuses and collect all the rewards from the “Joint Walk” tab.
Invitations to Tuk-Tuk
In order to schedule a conversation with any agent once per real day, you have 3 invitations (you cannot invite the same character at a time). All hero contacts with whom you can develop friendship are in the messenger tab (quick access on the English key “Q”). To avoid searching for Seth's contact for a long time, mark it with an asterisk to the right of the “Invite” inscription – such chats are always at the top of the list.
By inviting Seth via chat, you will be able to attend the following meetings:
| Chat | Meeting place | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Are you there?/Answer already. | Playground at Lumina Square | The 3rd answer “Even when competing with each other, brothers remain brothers” gives ++, and at the end of the conversation another + |
| Flower shop at Lumina Square | Choosing any flower gives +, and at the end of the dialogue ++ | |
| Busy?/Help! | Noodle shop on Sixth Street | The 4th answer “It's because I invited you” gives +, and at the end of the dialogue ++ |
| Gravity Cinema | Choose to watch an action movie about public safety officers to get + |
In one such meeting, with the right choice of answers, you will fill up to half of the emoticon indicating the current level of friendship (progress is visible in the chat and in the “Partners' Dossier” tab). And using all the methods, you can develop friendship to the maximum in 1-2 days.
As you progress in your relationship with Lowell, you are guaranteed to participate in the story encounters described in the table below:
| Level | Event | Reward |
|---|---|---|
Starter | «Sharp interview» | 20 polychromes, 5 thousand denni, 3 B-rank shock chips. |
[Sympathy] | “Family viewing” – the film “The Big Caverna” | Seth can be appointed as a promoter at the video rental store. |
[Friendship] | «Idiotic game» | 30 polychromes, buff for Zero Cave «Path of Honor», 10 thousand denni. |
[Trust] | «Pretense or sincerity» | 30 polychromes, live wallpapers with Seth, 15 thousand denni. |
During such events, it is impossible to spoil the relationship with the agent (among the answers there are no those that increase or decrease the progress of trust).
When the agent has a completely filled smiley of the current stage, wait for one of the quests listed above, and only then continue to develop friendship. Until the level is advanced to the next stage, all points received will not count.
A Walk with Seth: How to Collect All the Rewards
The “Joint Walk mode» is not tied to chat invitations and can be launched an unlimited number of times. Go to the chat with Seth and click on the button of the same name to get to a separate menu. Live wallpapers are shown here, at the bottom there is an icon with rewards and the action “Spend time” – click and choose a meeting place (the recommended one is marked with a quest mark). During a walk in the place suggested by the game, you will encounter such events:
- Wish Events(short story dialogues without answer options);
- Entertainment Events(during a walk around the location, the agent draws attention to them);
- Games at Godfingers (joint gaming in the arcade on Sixth Street).
Please note that walks are available with all agents whose friendship level is not lower than Sympathy. Special events in them can only be launched through the “Spend Time” tab.
All Seth's wish events have the same reward: 150 Internet Points, 10 Polychromes, 10 thousand Denny, 2 B-Rank Shock Chips.

All Entertainment Events
Entertainment events are specific locations in the location, when approaching which the agent will stop and say a short line, and before that an exclamation mark will appear above his head. When you are close, Seth's comment will flash in the upper left corner of the screen: “it seems there is something interesting nearby…”
Seth is interested in some places on Sixth Street and Lumina Square:
| Location | Event area |

| Sixth Street | Koff Cafe and Godfingers menus. |
| Lumina Square | Dragon graffiti in front of the parking lot and in the alley behind the beauty salon, movie posters, Koff Cafe menu, tea shop, Soup Waterfall menu, JC drugstore near the metro. |
If you can't activate all the events in one walk, come back to them another time. To get the reward, you need to find any 5 entertainment events, for which you will receive: 22.5 thousand denny, 6 rank B magazines and 3 rank B power sources.

All random encounters
Random meetings with Seth can happen at any time of the day (mostly in the morning-afternoon-evening). To find out where Lowell is now, open the map and look at the tabs Sixth Street or Lumina Square
– if there is a mini-portrait of the agent at the bottom, then you can meet him.In the table below, we have listed all the possible topics for conversation and response options that increase relations with Seth:

There are no negative forks in random encounters with Seth, however some answers lead you to branches with bonus lines, and if you miss them, the event will end without increasing trust.
Even if you talked to Lowell and got points, go to the time of day mode (English key “T”) and rewind to a new day – the meeting may appear again, and the number of such rewinds is quite high.
All rewards for maximum trust with Seth
In addition to the rewards for advancing the trust level and those given in the joint walk mode, maximum friendship with Seth opens access to live wallpapers and the achievement “Strong friendship will not break” – for receiving it they give 5 polychromes and the title “Just an ordinary friend“, which can be put on the profile.
