Inky Trust Events and Best Answers

Here are all of Inky's Trust Events in Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ)! See all Inky's Trust Event locations and which dialogue options to pick!

Different Levels of Inky Trust Events

Inky is Alert

During the first few stages of building Inky's Trust, he is alert and cautious of your presence.

In this stage, do not touch or pet him. Instead, watch from afar. Let the cat get used to your presence.

Inky is Quiet

During this stage, Inky has gotten used to your presence, and watches how you react. Players have two options presented to them: feeding Inky, or petting them.

The words inside the paranthesis and the way Inky meows will dictate which option you should choose. The biggest thing to note is you shouldn't pet it when it's (Maybe...?) because it will result in a Trust decrease.

Stock Up on Cat Food

Make sure you stock up on cat food from the 141 Convenience Store! Not having one to give when choosing to feed Inky leads to an automatic event failure, but does not result in a Trust Decrease.

141 Convenience Store Guide

Multiple Cats

Increase	Play with them...
Significant Increase	Pull out a can of cat food... Feed the little black cat.

Sometimes, Inky will be surrounded with multiple cats. This is the best Trust event for Inky, as there are choices that could either increase or significantly increase the Trust Level!

Inky is Friendly

Once Inky has warmed up to you, there are two possible scenarios that could happen when interacting with Inky. The correct answer that triggers a Trust Increase will depend on how Inky meows when it greets you at the start.

Note that this only applies once you've passed Trust Rank 3 since Inky's greeting at Trust 2 or below is different.

Inky Wants to Play

After hitting Trust Rank 3, you'll occasionally encounter an event where Inky wants to play Hide and Seek with you. Choosing to play and finding Inky will result an increased Trust level.
