Officer Mewmew is a familiar NPC in Zenless Zone Zero, but you can help this character in the 1.2 update in Blazewood to unlock new challenges for various rewards. This new region comes with a variety of quests, characters, and events to explore. However, those looking to earn some extra Polychrome should try and help Officer Mewmew to access their series of challenges.
Blazewood is located near New Eridu, but you can only travel to this place once you have finished the “Tour de Inferno” main story quest during Chapter 4. There are many new 1.2 characters in Zenless Zone Zero here, including Caesar King and Burnice White. Several other familiar faces have official story introductions here, making it a place worth visiting.
Where To Find Officer Mewmew In Blazewood
Travel To A Specific Subsection Of The Region
Many players seem to be having a hard time finding Officer Mewmew in Blazebood, but this is because the mascot is on the job. Mewmew can be found in the Lower Level subsection of Blazewood, which you can travel to in a variety of ways. First, you could simply take the elevator in the area to reach its lower section if you have explored enough of Blazewood to have it unlocked.
Another way to reach the Lower Level is to use the Navigation system, which you may have used recently to navigate around Zenless Zone Zero‘s New Eridu area. Once you arrive in the Lower Level, search for an NPC called the “Sage in a Barrel” near the trailer homes. Talking to him will reveal Officer Mewmew, who is standing off to the right from the welcome gate that reads “Welcome to Boundless Blaze.”
You won’t be able to unlock the Blazewood Officer Mewmew’s challenges right away. Even if you talk to the officer, they have some pressing issues that have been distracting them since they arrived in Blazewood. To help them out, you’ll have to accept the “Scared Visitor” side quest from Officer Mewmew to learn about an Outer Ring citizen who has taken over the mascot’s spot in town.
How To Complete The “Scared Visitor” Side Quest
Fix Up A Misunderstood Character
You can find the so-called “fierce citizen” Officer Mewmew mentioned by traveling to the Cheestopia or Upper Level sections of Blazewood. Here, you can find a Bangboo in Zenless Zone Zero angrily fuming on a nice green chair outside the fences of town. You need to fix the Fierce Bangboo before it can give you any information, as it doesn’t seem like the type of character to intimidate Officer Mewmew.
To fix the Bangboo, you need to complete a mini-game by following these steps:
- Pull up the mini-game by interacting with the Bangboo.
- Press any button to “Start.”
- Wait until the green ping from the center reaches the outer circle.
- Press any button again at the closest point where the ring overlaps the circle.
- Do this several times in a row without letting rings exit the circle.
The closer you get the ring to stop over the circle, the higher the Rank you get on the mini-game. If you want an
“S”
rank with the Fierce Bangboo, you have to get multiple Perfect scores on each ping.
Once the Bangboo is fixed, you can talk to it again to reveal a nature the exact opposite of what Officer Mewmew thought it was. There should be no problems between the mascot and this Bangboo now, so go back and tell Officer Mewmew what happened. This will cause the Officer to return to the spot with the Fierce Bangboo, with all their challenges unlocked and ready to be overcome.
