Withering Garden
Last updated 2025-09-07
Withered Domain
The Withering Garden is one of the Zones within Hollow Zero: Withered Domain. It is one of the most dangerous areas within the Hollow and is the home of the Disaster-class Ethereal Nineveh, the Zone's final boss.
Details
The Withering Garden is split into 2 stages, both playing very differently from each other.
Withering Garden: Core
Withering Garden: Core, also known as "Withering Garden Exploration", is the first stage that players can unlock, provided they have reached Inter-Knot Level 42, have completed Old Capital Metro: Edge, and have also completed the Enchanting and Stunning, Withering Away Commission.
Withering Garden: Core is similar to most other Withered Domain stages, featuring Array Mode gameplay, with various Gatekeepers at the end of each floor. However, whereas other Withered Domain stages feature a single layout-type and only 3 floors, Withering Garden can use the layouts of any of the previous stages on a floor-to-floor basis, while also featuring more total floors to complete.
At the end of the final floor, players do not defeat a Gatekeeper and leave the commission, instead loading into a final Frontline Supply Outpost resting area, allowing last-minute healing and purchasing of supplies through a Bangboo Merchant.
After finalising their setup, players will load into the final fight against Symbiotic Ethereal Swarm - Code Name: Nineveh, the final boss of Withered Domain.
Withering Garden: Seedbed
Withering Garden: Seedbed, also known as "Withering Garden Blitz", can be unlocked after completing Withering Garden: Core with at least 3 Ether Activity multipliers. Unlike any other stage in Withered Domain, the "Blitz Mode" allows players to skip any and all Array Mode gameplay, instead allowing seamless progression from one enemy encounter, to the next, awarding Resonium after each group of enemies or boss is successfully defeated.
At the end of each floor, once the Gatekeeper has been defeated, instead of loading into a Frontline Supply Outpost resting area, the player will immediately begin the next floor, but will spawn with some HP-recovering capsules next to them, with a small distance to run before any enemies show up.
Much like in the Core stage, the final fight will be against Symbiotic Ethereal Swarm - Code Name: Nineveh.
