Where to Farm Hugo’s Materials in ZZZ?
Now that you know what to collect, here’s where to get the Hugo materials you need:
- Certification Seals: These come from the Attack Drill combat challenge. You’ll find it on the VR device in the HIA Club. You’ll use Battery Charge to complete the runs and earn the seals.
- Freeze Chips: These are earned through simulation battles, again through the VR device. There are multiple chip types, so make sure to farm the right ones.
- Murderous Obituary (Higher Dimensional Data): This drops from fighting Notorious - Dullahan in Expert Challenge mode. Use the HIA Club console to access it.
- Hamster Cage Pass: You can get this by reaching level 35 in the New Eridu City Fund (the game’s Battle Pass). Some limited-time events may also give this as a bonus.
- Finale Dance Shoes: These weren’t explained fully in the leaks, but they’re likely to come from either event shops or special bosses.
You’ll also need a big pile of Dennies, so make sure you’re running daily activities and events to build up your coin stash.
All in all, the leaked ZZZ Hugo materials give us a clear idea of what to start farming right now. From Certification Seals to Murderous Obituary drops, everything has its place in powering up this new Ice-based agent. Since Hugo seems to be an Attack-type character, focusing on damage and skill output, leveling up his talents will be key to making him a top-tier unit.
