InZenless Zone Zero, love is in the air. No, not for any of the Agents (unfortunately), but the newly-sentient boring machine Greta. However, young love can be difficult to deal with, and now Belebog Industries has pawned the task off to you.

As the introduction to Act Two of the game, and to the wild crew that is Belebog Industries, Mechanical Love is a Story Commission that takes you through a decrepit construction site to rescue the lovesick Greta, and perhaps even save Belebog’s reputation. So enjoy your brief team-up with your new Agents and delve into the Hollow to finish the commission!

Entering The Hollow

Floor One

When you first enter the Hollow, abrief cutscene will play, and after gathering Hollow data, thescreens will spread up before branching to the left and right. You will need tomove up to reach the main map.

At the very left of the HDD screen you will seeHollow Observation Data blocked by an enemy tile. This enemy tile is asleep, but willwake up and chase you once you get close enough. You willneed to enter combatto remove the tile and reach the Hollow Observation Data.

We recommend using this combat toget used to your Trial Teamif you’re unaccustomed to their play style. These are minor Ethereals, so while combat is tedious, it should be a relatively quick fight.

With the monster tile cleared,move to the left to claim the Hollow Observation Data, then moveupwards towards the Gear Coin Vault.

Here,another sleeping monster tile will wake up and chase you, but you canmove towards the spring tile to avoid combat.

You can enter combat against these Ethereals and end their chasing - and the combat is relatively easy.

you’re able to continue exploring this floor, using the springs to avoid combat and collect Gear Coins. However, since you already should have claimed the data set from behind the Gear Coin Vault, you do not need the Gear Coins, and can progress with the commission if you prefer.

Floor Two

When you move a floor down, another enemy will wake up and begin following you. Itcan be avoided by circling around the bricks, or defeated in a quick round of combat.

The final Hollow Observation Data can be foundto the right of the monster tile. To claim it without combat, you canmake a loop around the bricksbefore descending to thebottom right corner of the HDD.

Once you hit the bottom right corner, a new area of the map will load with a “pink enemy” tile. This enemy, which will chase you,cannot be defeated, and if you ever hit this tile, it will drain your character’s HP.

You canmove to the right and circle around the bricksto avoid running into the pink enemy tile.Head upwards and to the left towards the red button tileand activate it. This will open up another new area of the map above you.

Follow the trailup and to the leftto push another red button, which willcreate a question mark tile that enemies cannot pass through. Go to the center and claim all of the Rest Area tiles, thenreturn to the red button tile.

When you step on the red button tile again,Grace will begin dialogue before spawning four bomb tiles to your right. The explosion this sets off will send you back up to the first floor.

Grace’s explosives will damage your team. However, to the right of where you spawn in the heart is an Ether Dewdrop tile, which you can use to heal up before the boss fight.

When you arrive at the upper floor, you will be inside the heart-shaped tiles.Move to the left to reach Greta’s tileand begin a boss fight against her.

Fighting Greta

You willhave to fight Greta to convince her to leave the Hollow.

Weakness: Electric

Resistance: Physical

Luckily,Greta doesn’t have a lot of mobility, but shedoes release long chains of spinning combo attacksthat can be difficult to dodge if you aren’t quick with a switch.

Greta’s attacks are long, so be sure to be patient and keep your distance until her animations are over, then jump in on the offensive.

Greta also has anarea of effect sand attackthat will appear around Greta at times. During this attack, it is best tomove far away from Gretauntil the attack is done.

You’ll want torely on Gracefor most of the fight, not only toinflict status conditions, but also becauseher Electric Attribute is extra effective against Greta. In between Grace’s attacks,use Ben’s defensive abilties and Koleda’s Stun abilitiesto lessen the damage Greta deals.

Grace cannot perform Perfect Assists - she can only perform Perfect Dodges. Keep this in mind when blocking damage.

With Greta defeated, you will get one final cutscene before the commission is complete!
