The Shrouded Reef Transfer Station is one of the tighter restricted zones added in Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.2, and it is small enough that you can clear it in a single pass if you know the route. Six pickups sit inside its corridors, and two of them are locked behind Access Control doors that are easy to walk straight past.
Quick answer: Teleport to the Shrouded Reef Transfer Station Entrance and collect four Mini Cargo Trucks, one Corrosion-Resistant Locked Box, and one Phantom Terminal. The Phantom Terminal requires taking over a bot, crawling a vent, and solving a decoding puzzle to obtain the Torn Picture Book Page “11”.
Everything the Shrouded Reef Transfer Station contains
The zone’s exploration counter tracks three separate collectible types. Nothing here is timed or gated behind a side commission, so you can run the whole set the moment the area unlocks.
| Collectible | Count | What it takes |
|---|---|---|
| Mini Cargo Trucks | 4 | Two are open; two sit behind Access Control doors |
| Corrosion-Resistant Locked Box | 1 | Grid-based hacking puzzle at a terminal |
| Phantom Terminal | 1 | Bot takeover, vent route, decoding puzzle |
You can confirm what is still missing at any point from the Quick Nav menu, which lists each collectible category for the area along with your current count and a button to launch straight into the zone.

Start from the Shrouded Reef Transfer Station Entrance teleport point. The four trucks form a rough loop, and the route below picks them up in the order that needs the least backtracking.


Corrosion-Resistant Locked Box: solving the grid puzzle
The single Corrosion-Resistant Locked Box sits near the first Mini Cargo Truck, so it is worth clearing while you are already in that corridor. It is a reinforced strongbox built from anti-corruption serum materials, and it only opens through a Universal Terminal connection rather than a straight interact.
Select the “Crack the Locked Box” prompt to open the hacking minigame. It is a routing puzzle: you slide and rotate path tiles across a grid so a continuous line links the start point to the endpoint. The highlighted junction piece is the one you are currently placing, and the puzzle resolves as soon as every segment connects.

The box pays out noticeably better than the trucks, dropping Polychrome, Interboo Coins, a stack of Noise Reduction Master Copy, and a large Denny sum in one go.

Phantom Terminal: bot takeover and the Torn Picture Book Page
The Phantom Terminal is the only pickup here that cannot be reached on foot, and it is the one most people leave stranded at 0/1. It needs a bot to get into a sealed space behind a vent.
That page also closes out the Gym Membership Redemption commission, the lost-and-found request for a Rising Star Gym Lifetime Membership Card misplaced near Vyrium. You get a “Commission accomplished” confirmation, plus Polychrome and a large Interboo Coins payout on top of the terminal’s own rewards.
Shrouded Reef Transfer Station rewards
Mini Cargo Truck payouts are not fixed. Individual trucks in this zone hand out different tiers of the same reward pool, so expect the totals to shift between runs and accounts.
| Source | Rewards |
|---|---|
| Mini Cargo Truck (higher tier) | Inter-Knot Credit x10, Polychrome x10, W-Engine Energy Module x2, Denny x5,000 |
| Mini Cargo Truck (lower tier) | Inter-Knot Credit x5, Polychrome x5, Denny x1,000 |
| Corrosion-Resistant Locked Box | Polychrome x30, Interboo Coins x25, Noise Reduction Master Copy x5, Denny x20,000 |
| Phantom Terminal route | Interboo Coins pickups plus Torn Picture Book Page “11” |
| Gym Membership Redemption | Polychrome x40, Interboo Coins x150 |
How to confirm the area is at 100%
Open the Exploration Progress Overview for the zone. A finished Shrouded Reef Transfer Station reads 4/4 Mini Cargo Trucks, 1/1 Corrosion-Resistant Locked Box, and 1/1 Phantom Terminal. Each counter updates the instant you interact, so you never have to leave and re-enter to see it tick over.
If a counter is stuck, there are only a few realistic causes. A truck count below 4 almost always means one of the Access Control doors was never opened. A Phantom Terminal still at 0/1 means the bot was called but never taken over, or the decoding puzzle was abandoned partway through. Walking past a truck without pressing the interact prompt also leaves it uncounted, since proximity alone does not register it.
Note: the trucks and the locked box drop supplies immediately, but the Phantom Terminal is the one to prioritise if you are chasing Polychrome, since it chains into a commission payout as well.
Cleared end to end, the transfer station takes a couple of minutes and leaves nothing behind that needs a return trip.
