ZZZ "Explore! Roscaelifer!" Prize Event Guide: How to Ent...

Introduction

Zenless Zone Zero just dropped Version 3.0 "A Sleepwalker's Confession" on June 17, and with it comes the stunning new floating city of Roscaelifer. To celebrate, HoYoverse has launched the "Explore! Roscaelifer!" prize campaign — a multi-platform event running from June 25 to July 2 (Facebook) and June 26 to July 10 (X/Twitter) that gives players a chance to earn exclusive rewards, in-game Polychromes, and real-world merchandise.

Whether you're a new Proxy who joined via the Steam launch or a returning player checking out the Celestial Nexus for the first time, this guide covers everything you need to know: how to enter on each platform, the web test for free Polychrome rewards, the En-Nah Gang Discord initiation trial, and all the other active ZZZ 3.0 events you shouldn't miss.

What Is the "Explore! Roscaelifer!" Campaign?

The "Explore! Roscaelifer!" campaign is a multi-platform celebration event marking the arrival of Roscaelifer, the idyllic floating city that serves as the centerpiece of ZZZ Version 3.0. The campaign runs across three channels — X/Twitter, Facebook, and a dedicated web event — each with its own rewards structure.

The city of Roscaelifer (also known as the "Celestial Nexus") is a skyborne metropolis governed by the Five Central Departments, including the Administrative Affairs led by Eldreda Sunbringer and the External Strategy division led by the new playable Agent Velina Airgid. It's a major new permanent zone that adds hours of exploration, new questlines, and the Interboo collection system.

🧩 Assemble! Mock Exam Comeback Plan — Complete Guide

The Assemble! Mock Exam Comeback Plan is the flagship event of Version 3.0, running from June 26 to July 27. This is the event you'll want to prioritize above all others — it's the main source of limited-time rewards for the patch.

How to Unlock

Inter-Knot Level 20+
Season 1, Chapter 1 Intermission must be cleared

Gameplay: Roguelike Shooting Mini-Game

This event introduces a unique shooting mini-game where you control an Agent through stages, collecting power-ups and eliminating enemies. Here's how it works:

Choose One Agent Per Stage — Each Agent has unique projectile skills. You can't swap mid-stage, so choose wisely
Upgrade Projectiles — Defeat enemies to pick up projectile skills. Craft and upgrade these skills to match your Agent's strengths
Eliminate Enemies — Clear normal enemies and bosses along the pathway to collect loot and complete the stage

Stages Unlock Schedule

Day 1 (June 26): Stage 1 unlocks
Day 2 (June 27): Stage 2 unlocks
Day 3 (June 28): Stage 3 unlocks
Day 4 (June 29): Stage 4 unlocks
Day 5 (June 30): Stage 5 unlocks

Best Agent for This Mode

Velina is the standout pick for this event mode. Her starting "Snowflake Shot" marbles hit hard, her active skill launches a massive wind blade that damages all enemies across 5 columns, and her passive significantly increases HP and Energy recovery over time. This sustain makes her ideal for the roguelike format where you need to survive multiple waves.

Other confirmed Agents include Miyabi, Starlight Billy, Sigrid, and Norma — though their full marble kits were still being revealed at launch.

Rewards Breakdown

Reward	Type	Notes
A-Rank W-Engine "Boisterous Echoes"	Free Weapon	Exclusive to this event + overclock materials
Polychrome	Premium Currency	Complete stage milestones
Hamster Cage Pass	Agent Upgrade	Key promotion material
Original Chip	Skill Material	For skill leveling
Senior Investigator Log	Agent EXP	Character experience
Bangboo System Widget	Bangboo Upgrade	For Bangboo enhancement

The "Boisterous Echoes" W-Engine is particularly valuable as a free A-Rank option — make sure to claim it and its overclock duplicates before the event ends on July 27.

🎮 En-Nah Gang Initiation Trial (Discord Event)

Platform: Official ZZZ Discord Server
Status: Active

The En-Nah Gang Initiation Trial is a separate but related Discord-based event running alongside the Explore! Roscaelifer! campaign.

How to Participate:

Join the official Zenless Zone Zero Discord server
Navigate to the event channel (typically #En-Nah or similar)
Complete the initiation trials to earn the "En-Nah Gang" role

Why It Matters: Players who obtain the "En-Nah Gang" Discord role are automatically entered into a prize draw pool. Prizes include:

Bangboo Standee (physical merchandise)
Additional in-game rewards

This is a zero-effort prize draw entry once you complete the Discord trials — well worth the few minutes it takes.

🌆 Exploring Roscaelifer: What You Need to Know

Roscaelifer (the "Celestial Nexus") is the biggest new content addition in Version 3.0. This floating city above New Eridu is an open-zone area with multiple districts, NPC factions, and the new Interboo collection system.

Key Features of Roscaelifer

External Strategy — Led by Velina Airgid, handles external relations (and yes, this is the same Velina from the new banner)
Flint Workshop — Led by Claret Flint, handles manufacturing and technology

Interboo System: This is a city collection mechanic where you explore Roscaelifer to find items (like small carts, tools, and Bangboo accessories) to raise your Interboo rank. Rewards include Polychromes, Pyrios' W-Engine materials, and Mindscape Cinema unlocks.

Bangboo Everywhere: Bangboo hold a significant position in Roscaelifer's society. You'll encounter unique Bangboo NPCs with their own storylines, and the new Ultra Jake Bangboo (Fire DMG, team Energy Regen) is exclusive to the Roscaelifer faction.

💡 Tips for Maximizing Your Rewards

Don't skip the web event — It's the fastest Polychrome you'll earn all patch. The quiz takes under 5 minutes.
Do both social media giveaways — They have different reward pools. The X/Twitter event gives you a Discord role (which auto-enters you in the prize draw), while Facebook gives you a shot at physical merchandise. You can enter both.
Join the Discord — The En-Nah Gang Initiation Trial is a simple set of tasks that gives you the "En-Nah Gang" role, which automatically enters you in a prize draw for physical Bangboo merch. This is separate from the social media giveaways, so you can win from all channels.
Start the flagship event early — Assemble! Mock Exam Comeback Plan runs until July 27, but stages unlock daily from June 26-30. Starting day 1 means you can clear each stage as it unlocks rather than facing a backlog.
Claim your free Pyrois — Version 3.0 gives away the S-Rank Agent Pyrois completely free through story missions, including full Mindscape Cinema unlocks and their signature W-Engine "Sol Exuvia." Don't pay for what you can earn.
Mark July 4 on your calendar — ZZZ's anniversary rewards (1,000 free Polychromes) drop on July 4. Combine with the web event and daily check-ins for a significant haul.
