At a Glance

  • Permanent addition to the game, not a limited-time event.
  • Labyrinth exploration: Navigate procedurally generated or fixed maps (details not yet confirmed).
  • Commissions and items: Earn rewards by completing tasks and collecting resources within the labyrinth.
  • Planned coverage: Future guides will detail infrastructure, commission types, maps, and item usage.

How to Unlock and Basics

Prerequisites: Not stated in official materials. Likely requires a minimum Inter-Knot level or story progression — expect to have completed the main storyline up to a certain point. Once unlocked, you can access Enigma of the Labyrinth from the main menu or a dedicated node.

Basic Mechanics: You enter a labyrinth with a team of agents. The mode features a series of floors or rooms, each containing challenges, enemies, and puzzles. Completing commissions within the labyrinth grants rewards such as Polychrome, Denny, Agent EXP, and exclusive materials. The mode is designed to be replayable, with weekly or seasonal resets for certain rewards.

Rewards and Progression

Rewards are tiered based on performance and completion. Expect the following:

  • Polychrome — standard currency for pulls.
  • Investigation Merits — a new currency (name unconfirmed) used to purchase items from the labyrinth shop.
  • Material Boxes — containing upgrade materials for agents and W-Engines.
  • Exclusive Titles or Namecards for high-level achievements.

Progression likely involves clearing deeper floors, unlocking harder difficulties, and earning points to redeem limited-time loot. While exact numbers are not yet released, players should prioritize clearing the labyrinth each week to avoid missing out on time-sensitive rewards.

Tips for Efficient Completion

  • Team Composition: Use agents with high mobility and area-of-effect damage to clear rooms quickly. Characters like Ellen Joe or Zhu Yuan (if available) excel in fast-paced encounters. Bring at least one Stunner to control enemy groups.
  • Resource Management: Save healing items and special abilities for boss floors. The labyrinth may have limited healing points, so use them wisely.
  • Map Awareness: Pay attention to minimap icons — they often indicate commission locations, rewards, or shortcuts. Marking a path can save time.
  • Daily/Weekly Resets: Check the mode's reset timer (likely server time, e.g., 04:00 UTC). Plan your runs to maximize points before the reset.
  • F2P Guidance: This mode is a reliable source of Polychrome for free-to-play players. Focus on completing all available commissions each week to maximize currency income.

Conclusion

Enigma of the Labyrinth promises to be a cornerstone of Zenless Zone Zero endgame content in Version 3.1. By familiarizing yourself with its mechanics early, you can secure a steady stream of resources and enjoy the challenge.
