Inferno Reap is the sixth zone of Hollow Zero and involves fighting an undefeatable version of Nineveh. Proxies will be rewarded based on the total DMG they deal to Nineveh, either in a single fight or across all fights against her.
Be sure to bring your best characters with you and pair them up with the best Resonia Kit, which you can build by acquiring Resonia in the Withering Garden and saving them after your run.
Inferno Reap Guide and How to Beat
Withered Domain Combat Configuration
Unlock Nodes in Combat Configuration
Withered Crystals are rewards you earn from exploring Withered Domain. You use this to unlock nodes in your Combat Configuration, which will allow you to gain various mods and benefits during your missions.
Completely unlocking smaller nodes around larger nodes will unlock them, which provides massive buffs in Withered Domain.
Three Types of Withered Crystals
There are three types of Withered Crystals: Heaven's Azure. Ink-Yellow and Iron Red. Each node in Combat Configuration will require different types of crystals.

Pressure and Corruption System
Pressure and Corruption Explained
In Withered Domain, every step on the untouched tiles on the board generates 10 Pressure by default. When Pressure reaches 100, a random Corruption will appear and Pressure will be cleared. Corruption can negatively affect both combat and exploration.
You may remove Corruption through events on the board or by using the Observation Station scattered on each floor of the stage.
Max Corruption Can Buff the Boss
Max Corruption (purple Corruption) is a specific buff for the final boss of the stage. You can get the Max Corruption after obtaining and keeping five total Corruptions in your current run.
You should remove this before reaching the final exit, or you might get defeated by the boss and miss all the rewards for the stage!

How to Play Hollow Zero Withered Domain
Withered Domain Gameplay Guide
- Complete Qualification Assessment
- Deploy Your Best DPS
- Explore Various Zones
- Clear Withering Garden
- Challenge Inferno Reap
Complete Qualification Assessment
To unlock other Zones in Hollow Zero, you must first complete the Qualification Assessment Zone. This stage is initially unlocked and will be the first Zone you tackle.
Qualification Assessment Guide
Deploy Your Best DPS
You start with only one Agent in Withered Domain, so make sure to deploy your best DPS Agent since they will be exploring alone at first. You then have to find the other characters you have set through events on the board.
Also, you start with only three Agent slots, but you will be able to unlock more eventually.
Explore Various Zones
Hollow Zero currently has five zones, each with multiple stages: Edge, Frontline, Interior, Heartland, and Core. Some zones have five stages, while others have three or four. It varies depending on the zone.
The Difficulty of each stage can range from Difficulty I to Difficulty V. Exploring zones gives you Investigation Points and materials you can use to upgrade your Investigation License and Combat Configuration.
The higher the difficulty, the more Investigation Points and materials you get.
Clear Withering Garden for Resonia Kits
After clearing the Withering Garden zone, you can save your Resonia kit and use it for Inferno Reap. Playing through Exploration mode is recommended, as it provides more sources of Resonia.
Challenge Inferno Reap
In Inferno Reap, Proxies will get to challenge Nineveh and deal as much damage to it as they can within the time limit. You can select Resonia kits from previous Withering Garden clears to help you challenge the boss.
Dealing more damage to Nineveh will result in earning more rewards!
