Walkthrough of the quest Traces in the Darkness in Zenless Zone Zero

In order to unblock the age to the high-rise gallery, it is necessary to understand the reason for the closure of the partition and the power outage. Therefore, head to the main control room and then to the generator room and find fuel in the ZZZ to turn on the devices. Restore power to the Ballette Twins and continue exploring the building to find Raine.

Head to the main control room

First of all, the heroes will split up and the proxy will go to the main control room. To get there, navigate as follows:

1. Follow the arrow to the left, picking up the sixlings along the way, and move forward along the monitors until you reach your ethereal friend. He will point to the place where the whispering doll is located.

2. Go down to the cell and step on it to get a banbu plugin called "Handheld Xenon Flashlight". In total, you will be able to meet 5 monitors with dolls, for interaction with which you will be given a tool. Follow further and in the next space you will encounter a ghost that needs to be destroyed by holding “R” and using a flashlight.

3. Continue left and enter the teleporter to be transported to another area. Walk forward and in front of the arrow sign interact with the second doll, which will give you a flashlight.

4. Head further and collect the sixlings, then use the flashlight on the ghost that appears. Go upstairs and you will find another whispering doll.

5. Climb higher and pick up gold coins, then continue on your way. You'll encounter another enemy ahead, but ignore him and go right, where there will be a second ghost. Hold down the "R" button and destroy two creatures with one flashlight. In the same room you will notice a doll from which you can get an additional tool. Then go down to the teleporter below and move on.

6. Go upstairs, where you will find sixlings and a doll, then use a flashlight and destroy three ghosts. Follow the left arrow and get money and surveillance data.

7. Then there will be a age to the main control room, as well as a storage room with valuable items. First go through left, where you will find coins, a newspaper and an elite explorer's box. Only after this, use the conveyor belt and move on.

8. Get some money and use the rest area, then enter the battle and help Lycaon deal with the enemies.

With Rina's help, return to the starting point

Once in the control room, collect all possible valuables nearby so that you can then go to Ellen.

1. Enter the large room after the battle, where you will receive the banbu plug-in Infrared camera, with which you can switch to night vision mode and open locked rooms.

2. Before going to Rina, move all the red levers in the room to the green position. This will allow you to get dennies that will appear around Lycaon.

3. Then go to the space on the left. To do this, use the infrared camera and reach the blue spirit, which will open the age. Leave the mode and collect the Senior Researcher's Crate and the Sixlings.

4. The last step is to open the room at the bottom of the map, where you can get a denny and an elite explorer's box. Only after this, head to Rina and leave the area.

Head to the generator room

Return to the first room and now explore the generator room with Ellen and Corinne. Go right and follow the route, gaining surveillance data along the way. Follow the broken light bulbs to the end, where you will see a teleport to another area.

Find essential fuel

Finish the fight and take the elevator higher to find the ethereal fuel for the generators from the previous room:

1. Use the infrared camera and go into night vision mode to activate the lever near the spring mechanism. Use it to change the direction of the device so that the piston pushes to the left, and move on.

2. Jump to the left and get one ethereal fuel. Then, to the right of the spring, turn the lever, changing its direction, and move on.

3. In the next part, use the camera again to activate the mechanism and turn the piston to the right.

4. Jump over to the right and go down to collect the Denny and use the piston there to collect the box. Then return and pick up the second fuel. Get to the last required item along the straight path and move through the rift to the generators.

Start the electric generator

Returning to the generator room, follow the lamps back and install the fuel in three places. When the energy appears, go to the high-rise gallery, where you will meet Lycaon and Rina.

Head to the High Rise Gallery

Go downstairs and go through the opened door, behind which you will find the latest surveillance data. There will be a large number of ghosts ahead, but you can get around them using a conveyor belt. Reach the finish line and leave the cavern to watch a cutscene and fight the Gray Veiled Puppet. Trial agents are great for battle: dodge enemy attacks and use Rina's abilities, after which you switch to Lycaon or Ellen and carry out attacks with them.
