Inferno Reap Overview

A Content That Requires Firepower

Inferno Reap is an event with a goal of dealing the most damage you can to Nineveh at a limited amount of time. There are also Resonium effects that is activated during the event so make sure to select a character that fits the buff or effect of Resonium when challenging.

How to Unlock Inferno Reap?

To start the Inferno Reap, talk to Ray at Scot Outpost and progress on the commission, Foliage Hunt. After clearing the commission, you can join the game mode from Hollow Zero → Inferno Reap.

Hollow Zero Inferno Reap Strategy Tips

Gather Resonium at Withering Garden: Core

In Inferno Reap, you will use Resonium that are initially given to you and those that were obtained from Withering Garden: Core. You will want to get the best Resonium from Withering Garden: Core for your team and challenge the team.

Tips!	The Resonium Kit from Withering Garden・Core when ending the challenge with or without completing the Withering Garden.

Start by Defeating Constricting Vine

When you first start Inferno Reap, you will be able to attack Constricting Vine while the time is not yet running. When you defeat a Constricting Vine the time limit for the combat will be extended, it is important to defeat as much vines as possible at the start of the battle.

Tips!	Constricting Vine will disappear after a certain period of time. If you want to defeat all of the Constricting Vine in the beginning then it is easier to defeat them all by activating Perfect Dodge.

No Need To Mind The Hornets

While in the Inferno Reap, you can also defeat Hornets to extend the time limit. However, because of the nature of Lock-on feature, they can be difficult to aim for and defeat. It is best to just hunt them as you battle Nineveh instead of focusing on them.

Aim To Stun Nineveh When Its HP Is Around 70%

Nineveh will have a special attack when the HP is dropped down by around 70%. During this time, you can not inflict any damage, so you will want to stun the boss while it is around 70% HP. If you are able to defeat it before it revive then it is easier to gain more score.

Tips!	Even if you get attacked with the special attack, you are still able to get enough score for the rewards. Aim for it once your characters are fully raised and your Resonia Collection are properly chosen.

When Nineveh's HP Turns 0, You Will Repeat From Start

If you make the Nineveh HP to 0, then Constricting Vine will once again appear like how it appeared in the beginning. It will take longer for the vines to disappear this time so make use of this time to further increase the combat duration.

Challenge Several Times

Inferno Reap's rewards includes both total points from multiple challenges and points from single challenge. Due to this, you will want to challenge Inferno Reap several times to get all rewards from the game mode.
