HIA coins are one of the many collector’s items in Zenless Zone Zerofound through small interactions, like talking to NPCs on the street and helping them with their problems.
You can unlock HIA coins by completing the “Talking nonsense“Side job from Ellis at Waterfall Soup pretty early on.
Below we explain where to find all the HIA coins on Sixth Street and Brant Street. (We are still working on including the coins in the later maps of Zenless Zone Zero and will update this guide as soon as we receive them.)
What are HIA coins used for in Zenless Zone Zero?
You can exchange HIA coins at 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, including EXP materials and Denny, for each coin you give it.
Where to find HIA coins in Zenless Zone Zero
You can find HIA coins in a few places, but you should look for NPCs that grey speech bubbles above them or sparkling interactive Objects as follows:

If you are having trouble finding the NPCs or shiny objects, here are some things you can do:
- Leave the area and return to refresh the NPCs.
- Check to see if the NPC is standing in the “wrong” place. For example, if you need Clara’s coin but she is standing in front of Remote Play and not the Remodeling Shop, talk to her and then refresh the area to make her move.
- Note that NPCs can also be involved in side quests. For example, we couldn’t get Ronnie’s coin because Kousaka was busy with another task.
- Check again 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 won’t be able to 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 reveal your progress.
