HIA coins are one of the many collectibles in Zenless Zone Zeroobtained through small interactions, such as talking to NPCs on the street and solving their problems.
You can unlock HIA coins by using the “Talking trash” a side project from Ellis at Waterfall Soup, quite early on.
Below we explain where to find all the HIA coins on Sixth Street and Brant Street. (We are still collecting the coins on the later maps of Zenless Zone Zero (and will update this guide as we have them.)
What are HIA coins used for in Zenless Zone Zero?
You can trade HIA Coins with the Sage of Barrels, the trash can on the corner of Sixth Street. The trash can will give you a random reward from a pool of items for every coin you give it, including EXP materials and Denny.
Where to find HIA coins in Zenless Zone Zero
You can find HIA coins in a handful of places, but the ones you want to look out for are NPCs with gray speech bubbles above them or sparkling interactive objects such as:
If you’re having trouble finding NPCs or shiny objects, here’s what you can do:
- Leave the area and come back to refresh the NPCs.
- See if the NPC is in the “wrong” place. For example, if you need Clara’s coin but she’s in front of Remote Play instead of the Home Improvement Store, talk to her and refresh the area to make her move.
- Be aware that NPCs can also get stuck in side commissions, for example we couldn’t get Ronnie’s coin because Kousaka was busy with another quest.
- Please double check that the time is set correctly.
- Make sure you are not in immersive story mode. If you can’t see the time of day in the top left corner, you can’t find coins.
You can also track your progress for each area by talking to Officer Mewmew. The final task on each page is to collect half or all of the HIA coins in the area, which will keep you updated on your progress.
