The bustling streets of New Eridu were buzzing with excitement as Version 1.1 of Zenless Zone Zero dropped, bringing a fresh batch of 35 achievements for intrepid players to chase. Unlike the overwhelming deluge from 1.0, this update felt like a walk in the park—just enough to keep the thrill alive without turning into a grindfest. Our protagonist, a seasoned Proxy with a penchant for perfection, laced up their boots and dove headfirst into the urban chaos, determined to tick off every last one.

🌙 Midnight Rendezvous at Public Security's Service Area

First stop: Public Security's Service Area at midnight. To unlock this hidden nook, one must kick off the Undercover R&B Special Episode. Midway through the quest, the clock strikes twelve, and boom—achievement unlocked. It's a piece of cake if you follow the story.

🕳️ Hollow Zero Hidden Commissions

Next, the player tackled the Hollow Zero hidden commissions. There are four: Measurement Device, Lucky Ticket, Hollow Proposal, and Night of the Hollow Passage. Each requires finding specific items scattered across the Hollow, but there's a catch—only three items per day. So it's a test of patience, like watching paint dry. But with a bit of diligence, the commissions pop up, and the achievements roll in.

🐱 Officer Mewmew's Medals

Officer Mewmew at Lumina Square had a task: collect all 'Rebuild Ridu!' medals. This feline officer doesn't mess around, and the medals are hidden in plain sight. A quick guide (linked in the original article) helps, but the real challenge is resisting the urge to pet the cat.

📰 Newsstand Shenanigans

The newsstand became a hotspot. Scratching off a three-bones symbol two days in a row is pure RNG, a real roll of the dice. The player crossed their fingers and hoped for lady luck. Then, late at night, disturbing Howl's sleep by waking him up earned another achievement. Talk about being a public nuisance!

🏙️ Sixth Street Oddities

Sixth Street offered a trio of quirky tasks: kicking a vending machine (cathartic, but not recommended in real life), checking out the Bangboo statue, and finding One-Dennyboo at the video store entrance. The latter required completing all One-Dennyboo commissions from 1.0—a blast from the past.

📸 Photography Challenges

Photography buffs rejoiced. Snapping a selfie with the 'customer' at the Bangboo charging station in Lumina Square's parking lot, capturing the Think Again statue in front of the Ballet Twins, and inspecting the 'Stay Away From Hollows' poster at the Public Security office—all easy peasy with the 'Target spotted' prompt.

🎨 Customization Corner

Customization was a breeze: change your Inter-Knot avatar, namecard, and dynamic background. It's like giving your profile a spa day.

⚔️ Agent Progression

For those who love building characters, enhancing Agent Core Skills 5, 20, and 50 times is a no-brainer. Trust levels with Jane, Seth, and Qingyi require having them, but the grind is real. Completing Qingyi's Agent Story 'Case of the Missing Bangboo' is a must.

🕺 Undercover R&B Special Episode

The Undercover R&B Special Episode dished out achievements like candy: turning the tables on Silk Tail in a dance off and witnessing a professional undercover agent's closing act. Both come naturally as you progress.

🔥 Inferno Reap Combat Feats

Inferno Reap tested combat prowess. Extending time by defeating Constricting Vines and Hornets, dealing over 20 million and 30 million damage to Nineveh, completely defeating her, and landing a 1 million damage single attack—these are feats for the battle-hardened. The player gritted their teeth and unleashed hell.

🛡️ Shiyu Defense and Side Missions

Shiyu Defense's Disputed Node: Eighth Frontier requires completing Chapter 2 Interlude and clearing Fifth Frontier. A true test of skill. Side missions 'Yesterday's Stage' and 'Careless Stock Leads to Trouble' offered unique experiences. Enjoying ghosts' performance at Gemini Theater and working closely with a courier during delivery—each with its own puzzle.

🏆 The Final Tally

With 35 achievements in the bag, the player sat back and admired their trophy case. Version 1.1 might have been a modest update, but it was packed with enough variety to keep any gamer on their toes. Whether you're a completionist or a casual explorer, these achievements offer a little something for everyone. So grab your controller, dive into New Eridu, and claim your rightful place among the elite. Happy hunting! 🎮
