Yo guys, I just spent a wild few hours diving into the Infinite Abyss in Zenless Zone Zero, and let me tell you, that place is no joke! 🤯 It's this super deep, special Hollow where the whole point is to just... go down as far as you can before your character gets totally corrupted. The vibe is intense, and you never know what you're gonna run into on each floor. And speaking of surprises, one of the most common (and honestly, kinda fun) random events is the Brainiac Quiz! It's exactly what it sounds like—the game throws a trivia question at you. Get it right, and you're golden. Get it wrong? Well, let's just say the game has a special way of making you feel a bit dumb. 😅 It's like those random encounters in Hollow Zero, but it's totally unique to the Abyss. So, if you're like me and want to avoid unnecessary HP loss or pressure buildup, you're gonna want to know all the answers. I've got you covered!

Alright, first things first: where and how does this quiz even pop up? The Brainiac Quiz is a total wildcard. It can randomly appear on ANY floor of the Infinite Abyss. Remember, the Abyss itself is part of that big 'Eternal Bangboo Causes My Descent' commission. So, if you blasted through your first run and didn't see it, don't sweat it! You might run into it on your next attempt. Every time you trigger the event, it'll pull ONE question from a pool of eight possible ones.

Now, here's the real tea on the consequences. What happens if you get an answer wrong? Honestly... not much! There's no major penalty like a huge HP hit or instant corruption. The game mostly just roasts you a little. But the REASON to get it right is the reward!

Get a question correct, and you'll earn Navigation Beacons. These things are low-key OP for planning your Abyss runs.

• What are Navigation Beacons? They're items that let you 'pin' an event tile.

• What does 'pinning' do? It guarantees that the pinned event (like the Brainiac Quiz!) will appear on the very next floor you go to.

• The strategy? You can theoretically chain Brainiac Quiz floors back-to-back if you keep winning and pinning, racking up more Beacons! Just... don't forget to actually use the pin after you win. I've done that. It hurts.

Let's get into the main event. Here are all the correct answers to the eight possible Brainiac Quiz questions. Bookmark this, trust me.

Question	Correct Answer
What is the currency of New Eridu?	Denny
What is the name of the virtual idol?	Wise
Which of the following is NOT one of the Hollows?	The Golden House
What is the name of the protagonist's Bangboo?	Butler
Which faction does Corin belong to?	Sons of Calydon
What is the primary energy source in New Eridu?	Ether
What is the name of the cafe run by the Cunning Hares?	Starlight Lane
Which of these is a type of Bangboo?	Combat

Okay, so you're acing quizzes and collecting Beacons. But what's the end goal of the Infinite Abyss? Is it worth the headache? Here's the breakdown:

• The Main Prize (Polychromes): If your goal is to snag those sweet, sweet Polychromes to buy Master Tapes for pulls, you just need to complete the original Infinite Abyss commission. You don't have to go to floor 99 for this!

• The 99-Floor Challenge: Now, if you're a masochist like me and decide to push all the way to floor 99... temper your expectations. The rewards for that insane trek aren't mind-blowing. You'll mainly get:

  • A bunch of Dennies (always useful, but not exciting).

  • Various chests with upgrade materials.

  • Bragging rights. Seriously, that's a big one. It's a test of endurance and team-building more than anything.

So, to wrap it all up: The Brainiac Quiz is a fun, low-risk way to get Navigation Beacons and control your Abyss run a bit more. Memorize those answers, pin your tiles, and dive deep! Whether you're just in it for the Polychromes or you want to conquer all 99 floors, knowing this stuff makes the descent a whole lot smoother. Good luck, Proxies! May your quizzes be easy and your corruption low. ✌️
