A Harmony of Delusions Event Guide for Zenless Zone Zero

This event will take place during version 2.6 of the game, and it is the New years Celebration event for 2026. The event is part of the Ridu Chronicles, which means that you can still complete it even after the limited time has ended.

From February 06 until March 23, 2026, you can obtain additional limited rewards, including a skin for Pan Yinhu! After that time, you can still participate in the event, but the limited rewards will not be obtainable any more. Grand Marcel Adventure will also become unavailable after the event is over.

During this event, you will have to help the Angels of Delusion during their participation in the New Eridu's Rising Star contest.

In order to participate you will need to reach Inter-Knot level 20 and complete Main Story Chapter 1 - Intermission. We also recommend you complete the Main Story Season 2 Interlude "Encore for an Old Dream" before participating in this event if you want the best experience.

During the event you will spend a lot of time with the Angels of Delusion and your goal is to help them while they participate in New Eridu's Rising Star contest. The event will lead you through the New Year's celebrations! Participate in various mini-games, solve puzzles, and support the Angels and you will obtain a lot of amazing rewards!

This year, the Rising Star Contest will evaluate the quality of the content presented, and the Angels of Delusion need someone to manage their account. As their "Honorary Manager" you can not disappoint them.

Mini games include a Rhythm game with music, specific combat stages, and Grand Marcel Adventure with up to 4 new maps.

Once you start the event, you can learn about the New Eridu's Rising Star creator competition by interacting with the TV inside the video store. This unlocks the role of honorary agent for the Angels of Delusion.

From there, you can head to the 404 Livehouse to take part in the group's daily activities.

These tasks revolve around managing their artist account and helping them climb the rankings in the competition.

As the event progresses, several pieces of content unlock over time:

• The event story mission "Journey of Shimmering Delusions"
• Event game modes:
• Shining Melody
• Solo Note
• Performance Showdown
• Grand Marcel Adventure

Completing the story and participating in these modes rewards Star Points. Those Star Points increase your Star Progress, and Star Progress unlocks milestone rewards as you advance.

The first mini-game you will unlock is the rhythm game, Shining Melody.

During the livestream you will have to follow the music's rhythm and hit the corresponding keys when the blocks enter the "judgment area". Basically when the blocks hit the finish line, press the proper key.

Keyboard Controls

• Press F for the Blue Left Note (if F does not work, try with Q, S, or D. Depending on the keyboard you have)
• Press J for the Red Right Note (or K/L/M)
• For the Large Green Note, press both side's keys (for example F and J) at the same time
• Multicolour rapid note - Press any of the keys multiple times in a row

Controller Controls

• Press any button on the left side of your controller, so any of the directional arrows, for the Blue Left Note
• Press any button on the right side of your controller, so Square/triangle/X or O (or A,B,X,Y), for the Red Right Note
• For the Large Green Note, press two buttons on both sides at the same time
• Multicolour rapid note - Press any of the keys multiple times in a row

After the tutorial stage, you can select the performance you want, and you can add one of the Angels of Delusions for the center position. Each of them has different abilities.

Nangong Yu is pretty useful as she can keep the combo going after you miss the first 10 times.

Once you complete the easy version of a song, you get access to the hard version. It works the same but the rhythm will be faster. Same for the Solo Note Mode. It is the same but a bit harder and with other music.

In the Performance SHowdown you will have to fight and play music. The enemy will launch attacks to the rhythm of the music, and you need to follow the beat, listen to the melody, and react on time to their strikes. When you successfully counter you earn Beat, and when the bar is full you enter the Rhythm Realm. During that time, your Parry Skill is replaced by a more powerful skill.

You will have a bar on your screen that will flash either yellow or red. When it is yellow, you need to parry, and when it is red, you need to dodge. Press the buttons when the arrow reaches the end of the bar.

This is your usual "Fall Guys" mini-game. You play as Eous, you can dress him up and unlock new outfits for him, and simply move forward and jump over the obstacle in order to reach the finish line before the others!

If you already participated last time, your previously unlocked outfits will still be available, but you can buy new one with the current vouchers:

During the event, Grand Marcel Adventure introduces new mechanics and limited-time rewards. By playing this mode, you can earn:

• Marcel Coating Vouchers
• Used to redeem Eous outfits
• Popularity Carrots
• Limited amount available per phase
• The cap increases as the event continues
• Your first run each day grants bonus Carrots

Once the event period ends, the Grand Marcel Adventure mode will no longer be accessible, so it is worth doing your daily participation while it is available.
