Jaym0's Avatar by Jaym0

Zenless Zone Zero Version 2.3, titled “Memories of Dreams Bygone“, promises a mysterious and thrilling adventure through New Eridu and beyond.

The recent livestream revealed everything from spooky urban legends in Lemnian Hollow to exciting new Agents like Lucia, Yidhari, and Komano Manato. You will explore dreamscapes, face complex combat challenges, and unlock exclusive rewards.

From new gameplay mechanics to revamped events, the update sets the stage for both terrifying mysteries and strategic battles across the Waifei Peninsula.

You can watch the Version trailer here:

A New Chapter in New Eridu

Version 2.3 sends players into the most mysterious streets of New Eridu, where invisible walls, rainbow-colored Hollow cakes, and mischievous Bangboo set the stage for strange and spooky urban legends. As factions retreat following the fall of the Exaltists, the Miasma shrinks, revealing hidden locations ready for exploration… If you are brave enough.

The Spook Shack forum members are joining the adventure, hunting for Lemnian Hollow’s urban legends and also missing miners. From mind-reading monsters to hypnotic dreamscapes, the mysteries in New Eridu promise more thrills but also more danger.

Meet the New S-Rank Agents

Two new S-Rank Agents will go live in Version 2.3:

  • Phase I – Lucia
    • Ether Support Agent
    • She uses her passion for Ethereals in battle. She generates Dream Points to upgrade her attacks, apply team buffs, and unleash her Ultimate while riding an Ethereal across the battlefield.
    • Her Harmony skills enhance squad damage, and her EX Special Attack spreads the Darkbreaker buff, granting a Sheer Force DMG bonus.
    • She can also create an Ether Veil that heals agents who step inside.
  • Phase II – Yidhari
    • Ice Rupture Agent.
    • She gains additional Sheer Force based on her maximum HP.
    • She thrives on risk and reward. She converts low HP into high damage. When her HP drops below a certain percentage, her Crit DMG increases and her DMG taken reduces.
    • Loosing health also increases her Decibels gain.
    • She can restore her own HP as well.
    • When she charges attacks, her tentacles can support her and block incoming attacks.

Phase I also welcomes back Vivian, as well as A-Rank Komano Manato:

  • Fire Rupture Agent
  • His Molten Edge state boosts critical damage and Adrenaline recovery
  • His Ultimate and chain attacks deal massive fire damage.
  • Similar to Yidhari, he consumes his own HP and heals himself through his own attacks.

Players can unlock him for free after finishing the event called “When Dreams Remain Unfinished“. You can also unlock his new outfit, White Heart Silhouette, as a free limited-time reward from completing the main story:
