To rescue Zephyr, please follow these steps:

  1. When you first enter the 10th basement floor, go to the room where Zephyr is trapped and choose "Observe / Keep observing / Come back later after gaining strength."

  2. You must find a note that teaches you how to use dark energy for healing.

  3. As you progress through the dungeon (around the central area), you'll see a message saying "With this healing power, I might be able to help the man." When this appears, return to Zephyr’s room.

  4. Regardless of the method or choices, use dark energy on him and complete the mini-game. You’ll see the message "There’s nothing more I can do for this man." After that, he can be rescued during the 10th floor boss fight.

Regarding Zephyr's corruption route, I've got the "Enter Zephyr's room" prompt at night, but cannot figure out how to progress from there. I've repeated it up to 3 times and there doesn't seem to be any change. During the day, I only get the option for "Casual Chat". Before that  His stats have him as "Slight Trust" and 50% corrupted. I haven't seen the option to "correct" him as mentioned in the walkthrough. Is there some other obscure flag I'm missing? Under the "red" management notes, I've only unlocked the second one.

Zephyr’s corruption route is actually determined on the first night, and everything needed to enter it happens during that event.

(Important precondition): When you first rescue Zephyr (while using the black energy), do not choose the sympathetic option. Instead, choose the one that implies you’re aroused or intrigued by the situation. That decision flags the potential for the corruption route.

Then, on the first night, when Zephyr offers to tend to your needs, you must reject him—this applies to both the romance and corruption routes.
If you accept him during this scene, all route progression will be blocked.

If you fulfilled the earlier requirement mentioned above, rejecting him will unlock the "Punish him" option that leads directly into his corruption route.
Once you select that option, you’re officially on the path.

Hope that helps clarify things!

Thanks for the help! I had just assumed the option to "stop him" would flag the romance option. Hadn't considered another level of choices behind it. Was thinking I had messed up on the following day.
