Overview, Images

A once-bustling port, now largely consumed by the Hollow.
Torchlit Lighthouse stands in the darkness, yet it guides the upper layers. The port walkway meanders through, with lost souls wandering in the labyrinth of containers, searching for the rescue number that's long been torn off.

Port Elpis is an Area in Zenless Zone Zero. It is unlocked during the events of Phaethon's Story Chapter 5: A Storm of Falling Stars (B).
