A Sleepwalker's Confession: The Definitive Zenless Zone Zero Walkthrough

This complete A Sleepwalker's Confession walkthrough guides you through every step of the Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.0 main story quest. We'll cover the solutions to all Dream Master terminal puzzles, provide a detailed strategy for the multi-phase Enoch boss fight, and explain the requirements for the mission's final outcome. The quest is a linear but challenging journey into a distorted Hollow, testing both your puzzle-solving skills and your combat prowess against a formidable new foe.

This mission is a cornerstone of the V3.0 narrative, delving deep into the enigmatic past of Enoch. Success requires careful navigation, logical deduction, and a well-prepared squad. Below is a full debrief of every objective and encounter you'll face in the dreamscape.

01

How Do You Start the Mission?tag

Unlike optional side content, "A Sleepwalker's Confession" is a mandatory main story quest that begins automatically after completing the preceding chapter in the Version 3.0 update. There are no special prerequisites beyond being up-to-date with the Archon-equivalent storyline.

The quest kicks off at the Random Play video store, where Belle and Wise will receive a new commission that points them toward a highly unstable Hollow. The initial investigation leads you to a specific entry point in the city district, marked clearly on your map. After a short briefing sequence, you'll enter the Hollow, where the true mission begins. Stock up on combat consumables before entering, as you cannot leave and re-enter midway through without resetting your progress.

Solving All Dream Master Terminal Puzzlestag

The core puzzle mechanic of this Hollow involves a series of locked terminals that block your path. To progress, you must solve three "Dream Master" puzzles, each more complex than the last. The goal is to rotate rings and connect energy nodes to create an unbroken circuit, activating the door mechanism.

Understanding the Puzzle's Logictag

The interface consists of several concentric rings with nodes and conduits etched onto them. You can select any ring and rotate it left or right. The objective is to align the conduits to form a continuous line of light from a starting power source to a final locking mechanism. The key is to work backward from the endpoint or forward from the start, methodically aligning one ring at a time. Later puzzles introduce multiple circuits that must be completed simultaneously.

Terminal 1: The Entryway Locktag

The first terminal is a straightforward introduction. It has three rings and a single circuit to complete. The solution is simple:

1. Select the outermost ring (Ring 3) and rotate it one position to the right.
2. Select the middle ring (Ring 2) and rotate it one position to the left.
3. The innermost ring (Ring 1) should already be in the correct position. The circuit will light up, and the door will unlock.

Terminal 2 & 3: Core Security and the Inner Sanctumtag

The second and third terminals escalate the difficulty significantly. The second terminal features four rings and requires you to manage a split in the circuit. The final terminal has five rings and two separate circuits that must both be completed using the same set of rings, demanding you find an orientation that satisfies both paths.

For the third and most complex terminal, the "Inner Sanctum" lock, you must align a blue and a purple circuit path simultaneously. A common mistake is solving one path while breaking the other. The trick is to focus on the innermost rings first, as they have the fewest possible correct positions.

The solution requires this exact sequence:

1. Ring 5 (Outer): Rotate two positions left.
2. Ring 4: Rotate one position right.
3. Ring 3: Rotate one position left.
4. Ring 2: Rotate two positions right.
5. Ring 1 (Inner): Leave in its default position.

This alignment will complete both the blue and purple circuits, granting you access to the final area of the Hollow.

How to Beat Enoch, The Sleepwalker Bosstag

The climax of "A Sleepwalker's Confession" is a difficult, two-phase boss fight against a corrupted version of Enoch. This battle tests your mastery of dodge timing, daze accumulation, and target management. He is classified as an Ethereal-type enemy, making him vulnerable to Anomaly damage.

Recommended Team Compositiontag

Given Enoch's high mobility and powerful attacks, a balanced team with a shielder, a healer, and a strong Stun or Anomaly-based DPS is crucial.

• Shielder (Required): Ben is an excellent choice. His shields can absorb Enoch's devastating combo finishers, preventing your active character from being one-shot.
• DPS (Anomaly/Stun): Agents like Grace, Anby, or Soukaku excel here. Grace's Anomaly damage exploits Enoch's elemental weakness, while Anby and Soukaku can quickly build Daze to create openings for Chain Attacks.
• Support/Healer: Nicole is a solid pick for her ability to group enemies (useful in Phase Two) and provide support, while a dedicated healer can offer a safety net.

Phase One: The Fugitivetag

In his first phase, Enoch is incredibly aggressive and mobile. He relies on rapid dashes and a multi-hit combo that ends in a heavy slam.

• Key Attacks: Watch for a three-slash combo. The first two strikes are fast, but the third has a significant wind-up. The moments right after his heavy slam attack are your primary damage window. He is briefly vulnerable after this move.
• Strategy: Focus on perfect dodges to build Decibel Rating. Don't get greedy with long attack strings. Chip away at his health and build Daze until you can stagger him for a Chain Attack. Use your shielder's abilities to tank the heavy slam if you cannot dodge it.

Phase Two: The Nightmare Unboundtag

At approximately 50% health, a cutscene will trigger, and Enoch will enter his second phase. He becomes more powerful, gains new attacks, and, most importantly, summons two shadow clones of himself.

• Core Mechanic: Shadow Clones: These clones have lower health but use the same basic attacks as Enoch. If left unchecked, they will overwhelm you. Your absolute priority is to defeat the two shadow clones. They do not respawn, so once they are gone, the fight becomes a more manageable one-on-one again.
• New Attacks: Enoch will now use a large, circular AoE (Area of Effect) attack that emanates from his position. When you see the indicator on the ground, dash out of it immediately.
• Strategy: Use grouping abilities if you have them to pull the clones together. Focus them down one at a time. Once the clones are defeated, the strategy reverts to that of Phase One, but be mindful of his new AoE attack. Save your ultimate attacks and Chain Attacks for when he is staggered to finish the fight quickly.

04

Mission Rewards and True Endingtag

Upon defeating Enoch, you will be treated to a lengthy cutscene that resolves the immediate storyline and provides crucial backstory for his character. The mission rewards are substantial, including a large sum of Dennies, Agent promotion materials, and several high-rarity W-Engines.

There is only one ending to this mission. The outcome is fixed, but it's implied that your understanding of the events may differ based on lore files you've collected in the past. However, there are no dialogue choices or in-mission actions that alter the final cutscene or rewards. The "true" understanding comes from being an attentive player, not from a specific gameplay trigger.
