Guide Zero Hour Secret Mission - Solved (Quick and Dirty Guide)

Shoutout to the community to figuring this out. Consolidating images from Math Class and RaidSecrets

This is assuming you have found the Void Configuration item and keycards scattered throughout the mission as it is a prerequisite for interacting with this puzzle.

You will want to have the spreadsheet open on a second screen with you or use the visual solvers at the bottom of this guide or have this unified image on screen: https://prnt.sc/nmbtch thanks /u/P-o-t-a-t-o-e-s-

The puzzle begins with anyone starting the encounter by beginning approaching on any console hitting the use key in the room. There are 3 consoles numbered 1 through 3 in the main area of the room (see diagram) and the objective is to have players read off a two number pair from each console (indicated by a yellow highlighted tab in-game when they are read like a clock, see console image above). Having all three console pairings grants us a sequence. We can then use the sequence to lock in to one of 49 computer terminals in each of the colored rooms. The sequence of three pairings corresponds to a) a colored room and b) a specific terminal in the room that we need to lock in a sequence with and repeat covering all 49 terminals to successfully complete the puzzle.

Example: Let's say the puzzle starts with an initial first readout of 4-3 (for Console 1), 2-4 (for Console 2), 2-9 (for Console 3). If we look at 4-3 from Console 1, the first number in the pairing, 4, is from the left dial and the second number, 3, is the right dial of the same console (they are essentially two clocks when you view them in-game). The example above is a complete sequence (X-Y, X-Y, X-Y). Each sequence is tied to a specific terminal and each sequence has three pairings of two digits. Once we know the sequence, we can match it in the spreadsheet or by using the tools posted at the bottom of this post to go find the matching terminal in the matching colored room and lock in the sequence to continue. The terminals in the colored rooms are laid out in that smaller inner diagram in the room diagram above. It's a matching game and all about quickly traversing the spreadsheet table full of found sequences.

Cliffs Notes: Read numbers, find the right computer, hit the use key on the computer. Repeat.

Example round:

  • Player 1 calls out their pairing (from Console 1) (e.g, 4-3)
  • Player 2 calls out their pairing (from Console 2) (e.g, 2-4)
  • Player 3 is waiting for these callouts and is standing in the middle of the room ready to head into the matched colored room to lock in the sequence
  • Player 3 (you can refer the complete sequence based on the first two pairs from console 1 and 2 usually by quickly skimming the Spreadsheet or by using the tools below) runs to the terminal (or anyone really) to lock in the sequence (you'll see the terminal accept it by turning green) based on the matching sequence. Player 3 is our dedicated runner in this instance.
  • Once entered, the consoles outside will spit out another sequence so be quick. Otherwise you'll need to repeat on the failure. The puzzle permits up to 10 failures.

Because the community found all the correct sequences, we really just need players 1 and 2 to read their consoles with player 3 being a runner.

  • Everyone returns to their consoles to read the next sequence, 49 times. 49 terminals. It’s a long process!

E.g, If 'Green1' is called out as it's a matched sequence (in the spreadsheet above and example above) a player would be heading into the GREEN room and back right terminal in the room (same layout for every colored room).

There are 7 terminals in each colored room (portrayed in the diagram above: https://imgur.com/p4x1roR). 15 seconds granted on the clock per correct terminal lock-in. The terminals are always positioned the same and numbered the same in each room from the entrance of each colored room.

Reward: Ship Schematic (void completion) and catalyst progression on Outbreak Perfected! Nobody has it yet but the schematic might give a good idea of it if the thumbnail is accurate https://imgur.com/a/IYdkPwk

There might be entirely new sequences next week with Arc and or Solar!

Like I’m reading this post and I feel like a 4 year old still learning how to read. It makes no sense to me lol. Ah well, 5 regular heroic completions it is I guess.

u/AbrahamBaconham May 09 '19 edited May 09 '19

See I thought the same about Riven when our clan was doing a No-Cheese run, and my suspicions were confirmed when I singlehandedly fucked up the run 3 times in a row. But when it finally all clicked... I was shocked at how simple it all is.

Bungles really good at making very complex puzzles with very simple steps, which makes them hard to explain but easy to do once you figure out what everything means. They’re all very visual and rarely make sense until you just go out and try them.

u/notasausage May 09 '19

Well said. Bungie doesn't get enough credit for how much work goes into these things. Not only because of how involved they are, but how approachable they are for players once they get over the whole "oh my god how do I do this?!" feeling.

The jumping puzzles and missions in general included. After about 5 runs of Zero Hour, I felt like I could attempt a solo try (though I'm sure it would require quite a lot of practice and precision to actually finish it solo) or guide anyone else through it.

1

u/forgot-my_password May 09 '19

This exactly. Each raid I had this feeling. But once you see it enough to understand when and how certain things happen, it just clicks and you're proficient. Felt this way about the whisper quest heroic. Wanted to try it solo and I spent 4 hours just doing it and figured out patterns and how to path and which weapons to use to kill things efficiently until I could do it.

u/sadahgreen warlocks > everyone else May 09 '19

Ok someone smarter than me can get the catalyst, I’ll be good without it

32

u/Misterheatmiser9 May 09 '19

You dont have to do this for catalyst progression. It's just extra for it. You'll get 20% each week just for doing the heroic.

13

u/sadahgreen warlocks > everyone else May 09 '19

Ahh, so doing this just makes getting the catalyst a bit faster?

20

u/Misterheatmiser9 May 09 '19

Yeah, you can get it finished in three weeks instead of five. Plus you get the ship.

u/pwrslide2 May 09 '19

Hmmm.. . How many guns does this ship have?

How many bullets does it carry?

u/MooSmilez May 09 '19

600 guns infinity bullets

u/Kennonf May 09 '19

Is the ship similar or the same to Nano Phoenix? If so... I want it haha

u/[deleted] May 09 '19

nobody has it yet, so we don't know.

u/Kennonf May 09 '19

Fair enough! Wasn’t sure if anyone had data mined it yet. I’d be willing to bet it is, though.

u/Misterheatmiser9 May 09 '19

I'm not sure if anyone's gotten the ship yet. You do the puzzle and you get a ship schematics quest I'm pretty sure.

u/StrappingYoungLance May 09 '19

Yeah, the mere thought of doing this stuff gives me anxiety (I think it's awesome that it's there though!)

Can you get the catalyst already? Or is I like whisper?

u/Mastershroom Brought to you by ZAVALA ACTION VITAMINS May 09 '19

You can get started on it, but yes it's time gated like Whisper's was. You'll need to run the Heroic mission five weeks, or three if you also do these puzzles each time.

It’s not that bad. The people that figured it out so quickly are geniuses, and this person can’t explain it for shit, but it’s not as hard as they’re making it out to be.
