Maple Syrup Location in ZZZ: All Farming Routes

In Zenless Zone Zero, Maple Syrup is a cooking ingredient used in the Hollow Deep exploration and certain commissions. It drops from specific breakable crates and supply pods scattered across the game’s maps. This guide lists every known Maple Syrup location, with clear routes and respawn notes, so you can farm it efficiently without wasting battery.

Ingredients

  • 1 playable character with a fast attack (e.g., Billy, Anby)
  • 1 map unlocked: Sixth Street, Lumina Square, or Scott Outpost
  • 1 TV mode or overworld exploration (depending on version)
  • Optional: 1 internet browser for map reference

Instructions

  1. Open the game and teleport to Sixth Street. Start at the Coffee Shop and head east toward the noodle stand. Check the wooden crates behind the stand – they often drop Maple Syrup.
  2. Continue east to the alley between the music store and the convenience store. Smash the blue supply crate near the trash can.
  3. Teleport to Lumina Square. Go to the central plaza fountain. Break the two crates near the bench on the north side.
  4. From the fountain, head to the southwest corner near the vending machines. There is a hidden crate behind the large plant.
  5. Teleport to Scott Outpost. Walk to the supply depot area on the west side. Check the three crates stacked near the entrance.
  6. If you are in Hollow Deep exploration, look for breakable objects (crates, barrels, boxes) in the first few floors of any commission. Maple Syrup appears randomly, but the drop rate is higher in resource-rich nodes.
  7. After collecting, exit to the city and re-enter the map. Crates respawn after a real-time timer (usually 24 hours) or after completing a commission.

Tips

  • Respawn timer: Overworld crates reset daily at 4:00 AM server time. If you need more, run Hollow Deep commissions – they refresh every run.
  • Use a fast attacker: Bring a character with a quick basic attack (like Billy or Anby) to break crates faster. You can also use bombs or ultimates to smash multiple at once.
  • Check every crate: Maple Syrup is not guaranteed from every crate; it has a drop chance. Break all crates in a zone to maximize yield.
  • Don’t forget the shop: Some days, the convenience store on Sixth Street sells Maple Syrup for Dennies. Check the rotating stock.

Serving Suggestions

Maple Syrup is used in cooking recipes that restore HP or provide temporary buffs. Use it to craft dishes like Sweet Pancakes or Maple Glazed Meat for your squad before a tough Hollow Zero run. It is also required for certain daily commissions and trust events.

Variations

If you are short on time, focus on the Sixth Street route – it has the highest crate density. For a more passive approach, set your game to idle near a crate spawn point and check back periodically. In co-op mode, you can ask teammates to share their world’s crates (if allowed).

Storage and Reheating

Maple Syrup is a non-perishable item in your inventory – it does not expire. You can store up to 999 units. There is no need to refrigerate or reheat; just keep it in your bag until needed. If you have excess, consider using it for cooking or selling to the vendor for a small profit.
