Ah, Zenless Zone Zero—a game where players stumble upon the weirdest things, like Officer Mewmew, that enigmatic feline enigma, and the Sage in a Barrel, which honestly makes a talking cat seem downright normal. Kicking this peculiar trash can? Oh, it demands HIA Commemorative Coins, specifically the Blazewood variety in ZZZ's Outer Ring. As of 2025, this quirky quest remains a fan favorite, with the Sage requesting different coins based on location—talk about a picky bin! Players must navigate Blazewood's nooks and crannies, chatting up NPCs and resetting maps like it's a high-stakes scavenger hunt. Who knew a garbage receptacle could be so bossy? 😂 But fear not, intrepid Proxies, for this guide will walk you through every step with a dash of humor and plenty of pics to keep things lively.
First off, to even start collecting those shiny Blazewood HIA Commemorative Coins, players need to locate the Sage in the Barrel itself. Teleport straight to Blazewood - Lower Level, then stroll forward a smidge. Voilà! The Sage should be chilling on your right, nestled beside some broken vending machines—because, of course, a wise bin needs its snack companions. 
Once you've had a chat (or a kick) with this barrel-bound philosopher, the real fun begins. Now, let's dive into the coin collection, broken down by time of day for maximum efficiency and minimal head-scratching.
Morning Madness: Three Coins to Grab
In the bright, early hours of Blazewood, players can snag three HIA Commemorative Coins without breaking a sweat—well, mostly. Just teleport around and chat with the locals; it's like speed-dating for loot! Here's the lowdown in a handy list:
-
Coin 1: Warp to Officer Mewmew's spot, then immediately turn right to spot a motorcycle. Talk to the person with a gray speech bubble—easy peasy, one coin in the bag! 🏍️
-
Coin 2: Head to the Lower Level, approach the two folks deep in conversation, then zip back to Officer Mewmew and have a word with Leigh. Boom, two coins for the price of one chat!
-
Coin 3: Teleport to Officer Mewmew again, but this time, eye that orange house to your right. Chat with the kid Shawn near the house, then gab with Leif by the stairs—he'll generously hand over two more coins. Simple, right? Unless you get distracted by the scenery, which, let's be honest, happens often in ZZZ.
Evening Escapades: Four Coins and a Side of Quests
As dusk falls over Blazewood, the coin hunt ramps up with four more treasures up for grabs. But beware—this involves some NPC hopping and map resets that feel like a wild goose chase. First, snag two coins with these steps:
-
Go to the Lower Level and turn around to find Bolter next to the elevator. He's your first stop! 🛗
-
Turn back and walk straight to Shawn near the yellow stairs and an RV—report your findings to Bolter for a reward.
-
Teleport away from Blazewood and return to reset the map (because games love their resets).
-
Head to Cheesetopia and chat with Bolter again—he's full of surprises.
-
Back to the Lower Level, interact with Lola where Shawn was earlier. Done! Two coins secured.
Now, for the other two evening coins, it's all about Cheesetopia shenanigans. Talk to Stevia inside the building—she's elusive, so if she's a no-show, you might need to complete some missions first (more on that in a sec). Afterward, find Old Demir out front by the cactus; he'll cough up the goods. But if Stevia ghosts you, here's a quick table of prerequisites to unlock her:
| Mission Step | Action | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Talk to Ono near Old Demir at Lower Level | Unlocks Wilderness Pursuit combat commission (Chapter 4) |
| 2 | Complete the commission | Prepares for next chat |
| 3 | Change time to morning, speak to Appon at Lower Level | Gets you ready for exploration |
| 4 | Finish Appon's commission, Redemption in the Rock Quarry | Clears the path |
| 5 | Reset to morning, talk to Appon again | Ensures Stevia appears |
| 6 | Teleport away, fast-forward to evening, return to Cheesetopia | Voilà, Stevia is there! |
Once Stevia's in play, those coins are yours—no more NPC hide-and-seek! 😅
Midnight Magic: The Final Coin
When the clock strikes midnight in Blazewood, it's time for the grand finale. Head back to the Sage in the Barrel and speak to the nearby NPC—they'll hand over the last Blazewood HIA Commemorative Coin. 
It's a fitting end to this absurd adventure, proving that even at the witching hour, ZZZ keeps the weirdness alive.
In summary, collecting all eight Blazewood HIA Commemorative Coins is a delightful romp through time-based challenges and quirky interactions. As of 2025, this guide ensures players avoid the frustration of endless resets and NPC hunts—because life's too short to argue with a trash can. Happy hunting, Proxies! May your coins be plentiful and your kicks be satisfying. 🎮✨
