1// Rebirth

"Do you know Tri-Edge?"

Yet to return, the shadowed one.


Who quests for the Twilight Dragon
Rumbles the Dark Hearth,
And Helba, Queen of the Dark,
has finally raised her army.
Apeiron, King of Light beckons.
At the base of the rainbow they meet
Against the abominable Wave,
together they fight.
Alba's lake boils.
Light's great tree doth fall.
Power- now all to droplets turned
in the temple of Arche Koeln.
Returns to nothing,this world of shadowless ones.
Never to return, the shadowless one,
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon.

----------------------------I) Introduction to Guide------------------------
------------------

Ok, Now a few words from yours truly. As you might have guessed from
the title, this is a step by step walk through guide to the PS2 game:
.Hack//G.U.- Rebirth

If you’ve never played the games ( ‘Original series’, or the G.U. series)
Then
I’d say you’re in for a real treat. If you don’t have all four (Original)
games
or the three new games of the G.U. series at this point; then I suggest you
start looking.

The games(at least the old ones) are becoming something of a rarity in some
respects and for a gamer with his/her recourses limited to the local GameStop
store, you might want to keep your eyes open.
However if you have the ability to use E-Bay then I suggest locating them
there as I’m sure they’d be more readily available. It took me over a year to
track down all four volumes using local stores, and that was in the summer of
05’; I can only imagine how hard they are to get now.

Recently in Nov. of 06 .Hack// GU- Rebirth was released and from what
I understand it sorta flopped, which is really sad considering it got rated
8-9 out of 10 from most gaming websites and by most fans. So I can't imagine
how hard it would be to get ahold of but at least try if you like the series
because, especially the new games, are really really fricking sweet.
I myself bought the special edition of Rebirth the second day it came out.
(It includes the Terminal Disk). The Second Volume of the GU
Series,Reminisce,
is due to come out May 8,07 and the third game Redemption will be released
September 10,07. But moving right along.

In order for you to better enjoy the games I’m going to give you a short
run down on some background information that you may find helpful if you
find
yourself enthralled with this series like so many of us fans.
The series known as Project .Hack// is a large series including TV series,
video games, and novels/ manga. “Project .Hack//" has an extraordinary story
line that in my opinion rivals that of the Finial Fantasy franchise. (Not to
say anything bad about Final Fantasy: I am a big fan of it myself) Really the
Sad difference is that if it doesn't have the name Finial Fantasy stamped on
the cover most RPGers wont touch it.

The project includes 3 Anime TV series, two sets of video games (for a
total of 7 games all together), and many novels, manga, and other media.

Going in chronological order (in terms of the story line) we have

--Old media

.Hack//SIGN (TV series)

.Hack//Infection,Mutationm Outbreak,Quarantine (four ‘classic games’)

.Hack//Legend of the Twilight (TV)


--Then the newest additions to the series are:

.Hack//ROOTS (TV)

.Hack// G.U. Vol: 1 (Rebirth),2 (Reminisce), and 3 (Redemption)


are the new video games dating(2006-2007).

Also note that there are bonus disks that come with each of the four
original
games and one bonus disk (The Terminal Disk) that comes with the special
edition of .Hack//G.U.- Vol. 1-Rebirth. I also understand that a bouns
will come with the normal copy of Vol. 2-Reminisce ;it is the
first episode of .Hack//ROOTS if I'm not mistaken.

This is just a short run down of the .hack// media that is available, there
are also novels and manga out there but I myself don't have much resources to
get my hands on that type of thing; so I have to stick to what I know.
However
if you’re interested in .Hack// either now or by the time you finish this
guide then I strongly suggest to you, that you visit: www.dothackers.net
You can find more information on the games and anything concerning the
series there.

Now I’m sure you’re sick and tired of me babbling on so if


that's the case then we can get on to business.

This Guide with take you step by step through leveling up, boss fights,
story events, back ground information. Be forewarned now, this guide contains
huge spoilers BUT, Major events in the guide that contain spoilers will be
marked and I will let you know ahead of time when such an event is coming up.
In this way I will be able to have you play ahead to a spot I will tell you
about before hand; an example of this might be something like: “Play on and
watch the scenes, come back to read more when its done.” This keeps the guide
from spoiling the story line. Yet allows me to walk you through it.

Also note that the .Hack// games feature a convert game data system.

Q: What is it and why should I care?


A: when you beat of these games you will recive a Data Flag, or
Cleared data. What this does is that you can pop in the next game ,and you
can
load up your saved data from the game before. That means it's possible to
continue the story line with a well prepared character in the next volume.
You
keep all your exp, items, money, equipment,party members...
everything. Or if you bought the games out of order:
you can start a new game even on game 2 or 3, ect. And apperentally there
is enough new game play and story that it feels like a new game rather then
the same old game play with the continued story line.

Important note: I should forwarned anyone Converting data should know that
with
the data from The four old games, the terminal disk, and the 3 new games, you
almost need a completly seperate ps2 memory card just for.hack//.

Well, with that out of the way. Lets get going.


-------------------
-------------------------------- II) G.U. series ---------------------------
------------------

.Hack// G.U.

--------------------A) Vol. 1- Rebirth --------------------------

--- Game info.


Game length: Moderate
Average Game time: 30 hours (25-40 hours)
Difficulty: Easy-Medium

----Over View---
--Gameplay: 8/10- Nothing's perfect but still ALOT of fun.
--Music: 10/10- It fits perfectly, and I mean Perfectly.
--Graphics: 9/10 - granted it can't compare to some
Final Fantasy CG movies, but it's the next best thing.
--Voice Acting: 9.5/10 - only on rare occasions did I
think it might have been better,and even then not by much.
--Replay Value: 8/10- There's more replay value once you beat
the second game, but even so, there is still a good amount to do.
--Story Line: 10/10- By itself it can't be compared to the rest of
the .hack series as a whole, but still as a seperate game, it has
to be the best so far.

Overall rating: 9/10 - Best of all the .Hack games to date. Other two games
at
this time are yet to be released. Still: Great game play, amazing music,
great
graphics,and a story worthy to be called .Hack// .

--- Getting started-


Alright. First things first. Those of us who went and bought the Special
Edition. As you can see your wonderfull package came with two extra things:
A Haseo toy (booo) and a bonus disk titled- Terminal Disk (YAY!!). The later
of the two is a disk that has extra information about the story events games
and the previous .Hack game series as well as info that concerns the story
events of the GU series.
Anyway this disk is like the most amazing thing ever. If you've never played
the old games this is the perfect thing to bring you up to date on important
events. The disk contians 11 reports that makes up a journal made by one of
the head engineers at CC corp. He wrote the journal for his little sister as
something of a confession of what he did while at CC corp. For those
wondering, His sister is a character that you meet in the game, and she also
works for CC Corp. You can unlock the reports by converting the saved data
flag from the previous games and a cleared data from the three new games.
---For those who don't have the Terminal disk I highly suggest looking at the
in-depth guide at (www.gamefaqs.com) written by CRtwety. He did an AMAZING
job
writing his guide for the Terminal Disk. And I HIGHLY suggest reading it if
you don't have the Terminal disk open to you. But be warned now. Some of the
later Reports ,the reports that are after report 4, contian HUGE spoilers. So
if you read that guide, JUST look at the first 4 reports that concern the
events from the original games.

Well anyway starting into the game:


What you need to realize is that .Hack is a story about an online game, if
it's confussing now you'll soon get the hang of the concept.
As you put in the disk take time to watch the opening movie play and don't
skip it. It's sweet.
As the main menu comes up notice that you have the Convert option at the
bottom. There's a reason for this. If you've played the above mentioned games
can take you're cleared data from those games and get bonus material while
playing this game. So if you have said game data from the previous .hack
games
you can use that convert option now if you wish.
-Also, if you play and beat the 2nd game in this series; you
can take your game data and covert back to the first game. By doing this
the game puts you at level 35 instead of starting a level 1. And you get
some better equipment, and some extra cash and items,

After that lets get started:

Go Ahead, start a new game and watch the opening movie.

--------------------------
---------------------Rebirth of the Story-------------------
--------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- Opening
Short Version/Main points: This shows when our main hero of the
game, Haseo,as he makes his Charatcer and steps into "The World"
for the first time.
----------------------------------

Look, if this is your first time playing you may know about Haseo's kinda
gay looking outfit. Well I'll admit that at times it really does look prety
lame. BUT, don't worry, 1/3 into the game Haseo gets a Job Extension which
changes his appearence and then he looks amazing. So please bear with the
game
till you see the CG movies comming up later and his Job
Extention. And besides after you play the game a bit more you'll start to not
notice so much and eventually it won't bother you so bad.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

As you log in for the first time you will apear in Mac Anu, the main town for
the game. And are met by two....very helpful players.
This in the first tutorial for the game: They do a really good job explaining
everything and Honestly I don't think I'll need to say much, but I'll comment
here and there.

After you form a party, go and save your game before you head out.

Note)The blue number is the people at the location you're about to warp to.
The pink people are the number of people you've already met out of the
blue number.

----------------------------
-------1)Courageous,Engaging,Daydream-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 1
Party:Haseo,Asta,IYOTEN
My Level:1

-Just make sure to do as your 'friends' ask you and you'll be fine. It's all
prety easy.

--Combat--

As the long time .hack fans will notice Combat is ALOT different is someways
and
yet it still retains it's .Hackish feeling. Read on for details.

-Combos-Rapidly pressing X will result in Haseo preforming a basic combo


attack. At the end of the combo Haseo will preform a finishing attack.
Depending on what kind of weapon you are
using (Speed or Hold and Release) will determine what you have to do to
preform the finishing attack for the combo. 'Speed' requires you to rapidly
press X. 'Hold and Release' requires you to charge the attack and then
release
it to exacute.

-Charged attacks- Hold X to charge an attack. It takes a few seconds but this
attack will send an enemy flying, which is critical for certian battles.
Charged attacks also break enemy's guard.

-Block-Those who played the old games will be happy to know that the new
games
feature a new and amazing thing: A block button =P. Yes that's right. The
block button (circle) will defend you against all attacks (including magic).
BUT it won't block charged attacks or status ailments .But you wont face any
enemies like that for awhile but in the Arena. So no worries for now.

-Rengeki- This bascily lets you do more powerfull attacks, kinda like a
critical hit. If you rapidly inflict damage to an enemy blue and purple
circles will form around the enemy. If you trigger an arts in that time you
will increase the damage dealt from the attack. It also increases the Exp
you'll get at the end of the battle, plus it increases the exp for your Arts
level which allows you to gain new arts.

-Arts and Skills- Arts are (for Haseo) the offensive physical skills. As you
go through the game ,gaining more Rengeki exp, you will level up your
weapon's level, or in other words how proficient you are at using twin swords.
As you level up your weapon's abilities, you will gain up to 4 arts in
vol. 1-Rebirth.

-After Battles: A menue will appear and this shows you how much exp you gain
and what rewards you recive to defeating an enemy party. Players of the older
games will again be happy to see that you gain ALOT more exp per battle. In
three battles you can gain a level. Alot better then the old: 10 battles
per level.

-Menue- If you open the menue by pressing triangle, you will notice that
everything you need to worry about can be dealt with in one menu.
-Replacing the old complex chat system from the older games is a brand new
stradgey menu. It allows you to set you characters to differnt stances that
will alow you're charatcers to fight in different ways. For now it's a good
idea just to leave things as is. Also if you go under "skill" in the menue,
you can not only chose skills that Haseo uses but also desingnate skills
you're party members can use. You can use the menue in battle. Use it to
activate healing,attack magic,and other skills. This right here simplifies
all the complexe chat systems from the old game, and you'll find it much
more simple.

-Also a change worth note-ing is that you only have one peice of armor, one
weapon as normal, and an accessory. These three peices of equipment have
customization slots. The slots alow you to add atributes to the equipment
like added fire damage for weapons, or -10% physical damage for armor,
or -5% Sp use for arts for accessories. Different stuff like
that you can mess around with later so don't worry about it just yet.

-Map- You can view the full map by pressing the SELECT button. Press X once
to view the map objectives. Press Select again to make the map disapear
completey. You must press Select again to make it re apear in the upper right
hand corner. Basicly it cycles through three positions: Mini map, Full map,
No mini map (repeats). Also note. There are compass markings on the outer
edges of the map- North, south, east ,and west.

Explore the menue; you'll find explanitions for everything at the bottom.
But it's not totally nesscarry.

Continue on with the mission.


When you get all three symbol fragments you'll be able to go to the
final destination. (no pun intended).
Also don't bother about trying to reach level 2. I've tried like 5 times and
have never been able to do it. Besides it'd be pointless
anyways.......never
mind just finsh up.

Ok As you approch the beast statue you'll trigger a huge string of CG movies
that will take awhile. So watch all of those and then come back and I'll
give
you some intresting details you might have over looked.

----------(Watch movies then come back to keep reading.)-------

--------------------------------
Movie- Start with a PK
Short Version/Main points: Make note of the dude who saved Haseo. I find it
interesting that his shots from his gun- 1) kills in one hit, and 2) made the
pker's character data flicker on the screen. Also,check out his arm.
----------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- Terror of Death
Short Version/Main points: Haseo first off looks alot differnt from his
first form, thats because due to the events in .hack//ROOTS(an anime TV
series)
,Haseo was able to gain huge amounts of strength: he also is in his Third
form (due to job extentions). And so you'll notice he kicks @$$. He's also
looking for Tri-Edge ,and Tri-Edge just happens to look ALOT like a character
we all know and love, but more on that later. Also veterans of the old games
will remember that there was something else in the series called the
Terror of Death..........?
----------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- Atoli
Short Version/Main points: Atoli's voice is like nails on a chalk board...
Arrggghh. Anyway, what you need to realise is that Atoli looks alot like
Shino
...who was someone very special to Haseo. So...yeah, give the guy a break for
being a reall @$$ hole at times. Anywho, Atoli may seem like she'd be a side
character, but she isn't. She ends up playing a big role. Also, Sakaki.....
something about him that's a little........
----------------------------------
--------------------------------
Movie- Reunion
Short Version/Main points: Ok, Ovan is sweet and all but......well lets just
say he...is...well.....he knows more then he's letting on. What you need to
know about him is that everytime his glasses glare that red-orange color or
his face gets all dark, he's lieing about something or planning something
shaddy.
----------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- Tri-edge
Short Version/Main points: That's right long time .Hack fans,
Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground
is still around and it's as important as ever. And for those long time fans,
yes that's right.....Tri-Edge looks alot like a character we all know and
love. But don't worry, the real him (in the real world) is in college in
'real
life' so it cant really be him....maybe just his character data with a mind
of it's own now?

Haseo got his @$$ kicked big time. And look very very closly as the
movie ends. You see Haseo's line of sight for about a second or two. Look
closly at what he sees. You might recognize the out line of the person.
----------------------------------

Ok so Obviously alot just happened.


For now just check the e-mail and read.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Ovan : choices
Short version: Ovan presents you with a choice. Conintue and find the truth.
Or run away with your tail between your legs. Well Haseo, being the bad @$$
he is decides he's not giving up, and no matter what it takes he's going to
help Shino.
----------------------------------

Ok Now it's time to put the main story on hold for a few minutes and do some
reading. Flip over to the "News Capture".

----------------------------------
-News-
The first and most important thing is Online Jack. The Red section thing you
can select. Online Jack is like the bonus disks that came with older games
only
these are built into the game and come in segments that become available to
watch through out the game. I know the first one isn't that great, but the
others have some seriously intresting things going on that you really need to
watch and pay attention to.

Other then that, I'd read a bit here and there; It really gives you a great
feel for what their 'real world' is like. It's prety cool.Try watching the
small clips of news that they have, it's actually prety neat the way it's
done.
So read some articles and watch some stuff. If nothing else view it quickly
then back out of the artical so it doesn't say that it's new.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
Forum-
The forum (like the Board from the old games) is where you can view peoples
posts from the story line. It's prety cool and they explain alot of stuff
there. Read what you want. Unlike the old games this board features a mass
read button. If you go into a forum and select a topic you can press the
triangle button and it will display all the repleys at once, aka it saves
time so you don't have to open every singel message by itself.

Read what you like. View everything (even if just in mass) so that nothing's
left marked "New".You'll gain a bunch of Key words, so that's useful.

-Under the Rumors Forum make sure to read the "Forest of Pain" Topic. Yes
it's
some what important.

-Also the "Apkallu" is a forum where players post art work. You can set these
peices of art as back grounds for your desktop if you want to. Just View the
topics and press X while viewing the art to load it onto your
Accessories tools.
----------------------------------

-When you're done feel free to Save and Log-in.

----------------------------------
--Official Site

If I were you I'd view the Offical Site and get some background info. on the
game's theme.But really the only important thing might be enemies and the
Jobs
(aka. Classes).
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
--Official Forum

I highly suggest reading some of the stuff here. It's prety helpfull and if
nothing else view topics en-mass to gain keywords.
----------------------------------

Log-in to the game.


Watch first then read ahead in guide.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

-------
Yep that's right, You're back a level one. Sorry but you don't get to play as
the level 133 Terror of Death. Well anyway, follow the instructions and see
you in a bit. Go with the flow for now. Really there's not alot I can say
at the moment. I'll comment here and there but really it's all prety straight
forward.

---Blue circles on the map mark objectives.

-So anyway you'll run into two guys who end up helping you out and end up
becoming your buddies. The guy in the green,Silabus is prety cool ,and a
great
swordsman. The short pink dude ,Gaspard, on the other hand is well not all
that great....->prety useless.

---Use green warp points to get around the city faster. It saves huge amounts
of time.

-You don't have any cash yet so no point in shoping.


You might as well save and head for the area, nothing better to do.

---The key words with check marks next to them are story based areas with
events that progress the story. If you're confused check the Memoir option
in your Menue for hints.

----------------------------
-------2)Peaceful,Leading ,Freedom-------
----------------------------
Area Type- Jungel cave
Area Level-3
Party: Haseo,Silabus, Gaspard
My level:1

-And yeah, being called a noob kinda sucks, but they'll cut it out eventually.
Fight through the dungeon. It shouldn't be all that hard. Kill everything
so you can to level up as much as possible and make sure to use Rengekki
to get bonus exp.

---If you search along the edges of the dungeon you may find a steam switch
you can kick. This allows you to collect Chim spheres. Basicly Chim spheres
can power steam techknology. There are doors you will neeed to be opened
with chim spheres. So take some time and get a bunch.

-Treasure chests- That's right long time .Hack// fans. Trapped treasure
chests are back! But new and improved, These new chests shake instead of
being blue and instead of using an item to disarm traps, this game requires
you to enter a button sequence before time runs out, and if it does run out
you suffer a gun blast to the face. Also Look for Kickable/Breakable objects.

-Awankening- this is basicly like a limit break attack. Awakening makes you
faster and stronger it's actually really good once you get the hang of it.
If you use skills in awankening they are like uber powerful. So thats a good
thing. You can use the Awakening by filling the Moral guage. To fill the
guage
preform rengeki attacks and arts. When the guage is full press the Square
button. There are two type of awankenings for the first game. And you
chose which one you want from the Menue.
-Magic using party members- For the veterans of the .Hack series. You'll
be happy to know that unlike the magic users of the old games who would
stand around and wait to get killed; Clerics and Warlocks in this game
will atuo. block if an enemy comes near. They may attempt one or two
weak attacks then they will beat a hasty retreat to another part of the
battle area where they will continue to attack from a range.

Anyway eventually you'll make it to the Beast statue. Well that's about
the time when things get intresting. Remember the Pkers from before.
Yeah, well they decide to pay you a visit. Just watch and enjoy the movies.
Come back when they're over.

--------------------------------
Movie- Pi
Short Version/Main points: She looks like a slut in the game
but is a serious bussiness woman in the real world. She's
actually very mature despite her sluty outfit.
Anyway, Pi saves your butt from the Pkers.
----------------------------------

Well now you're back in control. Let me just mention two things,
First is that you get a ranking on how well you did in an area once you
leave it, and the better you do, the better the reward you get when you're
done. Rewards range from cheap items to getting newer and better keywords
for the chaos gate. The second thing is that the dangerous power Pi was
talking
about would have something to do with The Terror of Death.

Anyway..... After all those scenes and everything; I'd say Haseo has had one
long day. So far today he's: Killed a group of Pkers, met Atoli, reunited
with
Ovan, Got his butt kicked by Tri-Edge,got leveled down to level 1 from 133,
almost got killed by a group of Pkers that he killed earlier, told by Pi
that his character holds a dangerous power, and has had Atoli (the girl with
a voice like nails on a chalk board) join your member list.

So anyway, after a long day,


you have two choices:the first is to walk around the city and get a good feel
for the lay out and see what shops sell what and get a feel for what's what.
I suggest doing this now as I'm sure it will help you later and the city
really is prety cool to explore. After that the last option is just to log-
out
and check some e-mails, Forums, and news.
-E-mail- Pi : Remember this
Short version: Basicly she re-caps on what she said eariler.
Also, make sure to reply: "Who are you?"
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Hi! : Gaspard
Short version: Just some stuff about you being the Terror of Death.
Make sure to reply: "Tri-Edge".
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Silabus : No way!
Short version: Again, some stuff about you being
the Terror of Death. Reply: "Like what?"
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Silabus : Quests
Short version: He explains about quests, aka side jobs.
These 'side jobs' are little side quests that usually only
require you to visit like one area. They render good rewards
and it's a good idea to do as many as you can, but with
everything that'll be happening, you may not finish all of them
till the end of the game.
----------------------------------

-You need to complete the quest Silabus


was talking about in order to advance the story, so make sure to
check the forum, save, and
then log-in.

-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Head for the blue circle on the map. When you get to the quest shop, add
Silabus and Gaspard to your party. Then, accept the quest from the Quest
shop. Once you've done that head for the
Chaos Gate.

--Equipment materials--
Before you head off I should mention that if you get lucky you'll get some
materials for your weapons or armor or accessories. What you can do is add
those materials to your equipment to give them added bonuses. I got very
very lucky when I played this time through as I was writing the guide
and got the Weapon material that gives you extra fire damage bonus, It was
already on a weapon that I got from a beast statue, so when you go to
customize
weapons, don't forget to check all your equipment for materials that can be
taken off usless equipment and put on you good stuff. Oh and by the way,
for now use any old material for your equipment cause something is better
the nothing. Remember that you can put materials into your equipment AND
the equipment of your party members by using the Customize option. Later,
however I'll be giving you my set up that I use for me and my party members.

Well enough of that, head off for the quest area.


Quest:Crown Quest
----------------------------
-------3) Chasing, Cupid's, Phantom (Q)-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Temple
Area Level:5
Party: Haseo,Silabus, Gaspard
My Level: 4
In this area you;ll meet enemies that look like blue tigers. They use a magic
watter attack spells. You can tell when you're going to be attacked by the
red
circles on the ground comming toward you. Make sure to hold the block button
or suffer a blast of magic in the face.

-This quest is really easy. All you have to do is keep on going through the
dungeon till you run into a Lucky animal. If you kick it, it will summon
King Chim Chim. The way you do this is: Kick the King three times in a row
then
run away. He'll jump at you and miss. Then, repeat till he's toast. You'll
auto. warp back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
Once back you'll auto. finish the quest. You will recive something called
the Text of Wisdom; these items will permanently raise someone's stats.
However you will ALWAYS want to use this kind of item on ONLY Haseo.

----------
IMPORTANT!
----------

In this guide I will NOT cover the normal quests until the post game section.
However I will admit that it is better do them through out the game as they
become avalible. If you wish to complete the normal quest through out
the game instead of waiting till the end, then I suggest you take time
to do so as you see fit. I suggest that, instead of going out and
leveling up (as you will be doin alot of that) you should instead go
and make time to do some quests in between training. They're rather
enjoyable,but repetitive. It's up to you if you want the rewards but
it's not entirely necessary. If you wish to see any advice I can
offer on the topic please look for my section on them near the buttom
of the guide.

Time to do a small bit of shopping. Head over to the mercenary district via
warp point. Head to the weapon shop. You need to do some shopping.

-Armor and weapons-


Ok What you need to understand about armor is:
Haseo uses Heavy class armor, Silabus used Light class
armor, and people like Gaspard and Atoli use light robes.
Weapons: Haseo uses Twin swords and later, broad swords. Silibus uses a
one-handed style sword, Gaspard uses a magic book, and Atoli uses a staff.
Sell/Buy:

Sell all weapons and armor under level 10.


Sell all scrolls.

Buy:
Nothing-> at this point you probably don't have enough cash to buy just about
anything. Well at least at this store.

--For now why don't you head back to the chaos gate and take Silibus and
Gaspard out to level up a bit and earn some cash. Just keep using the Random
button until you find an area that's level 6 or if you're brave level 7. But
I wouldn't suggest level 7 just yet. Anyway in terms of Area type I much
perfer the Field type area over a Dungeon type field. Reason being is that
you
can get around easier and therefore gain exp faster. But that's just me.
-If you do decide to go to a dungeon type area make sure to keep an eye open
for "Trap Rooms".

-Trap Rooms: these are rooms in a dungeon that contial a huge amount of traps
that inflict damage on you and your party members. There are the folowing
types of traps: Spike Pad, Shearch Light,and Steam Piston.

Spike pads are tiles on the room's floor. Every few seconds spikes pop
out. You can safly cross them when the spikes are down.

Shearch Lights
are just that, shearch lights, but unlike what you normally think of as
one big flash light, these suckers will shoot an explosive mortar at you if
you walk into the light area on the ground.

Finally Steam Pistons look like small metal


pillars. These things have a piston that fills with hot steam and then
shoots it out of a hole once it's full. They take a few seconds to fill so
if you time it right you can pass by with out injury.

----------------------------
-------**) (Random),(Random),(Random)-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 6
Party: Haseo, Silabus, Gaspard
My level: 4

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Ok as you get back to town I should tell you that I was able to get two
Materials called Turtle shell. This armor Material provided -10% physical
damage. And is in fact one of the better materails in the game and it's
what I'm using on Haseo and Silabus.

Well anyway, time to do some more shopping. Head over to the Mercenary
district. Once you've customized your party's equipment feel free to sell
off any other materials. They acctually sell for a good amount and will
bring in enough cash to buy some new twin blades. At the Mercenary Weapon
shop you'll find a pair of level 4 Dual Swords. Go ahead and buy them. And
Don't forget to move your Weapon's material from your old weapon to your
new twin blades so they will now have the added effect instead of
your old swords.

Well anyway that's about all there is to do for now, Log-out and check some
e-mails.

--note*- For those who played the old games and coverted the saved game data
you'll recieve an e-mail from BlackRose that she wrote to Kite after the
old games ended.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- BlackRose : Well done
Short version: It gives you a glance into the things that
happened after the games ended and how things turned out
for the old gang. As you read you can tell that things really
ended up kind of sad for everyone. I mean you basicly find
out that after the 2nd network crisis CC Corp. was glad and
all that they didn't all get arrested for covering up the facts
that their game was putting players into comas and that they
were respondsible for huge amounts of property and financial losses.
Granted I don't have all the official details from manga or anything,
but I heard from some people at www.dothackers.net that CC Corp. didn't
acknowledge the .hackers for what they did, and basicly let everyone
say what they wanted to. This led to a large amount of their story
being left to rumors and so the true story was NEVER made public.
As a consequence they were able to ban several people who were involved
with the whole situation. From what I understand; The player of Kite went
on to graduate Highschool and went to college and at this point has no idea
that anything is presently wronge with the game. However I can confirm that
several of the .hackers are still playing the game and are characters in the
GU game series. Who they are, however, I can't say for now.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Horkuto : To Lena
Short version: Basicly Horkuto is the main character of the AI buster novels,
and he's sending an e-mail to Lena. Lena played as a character called Rena
with her brother Shugo in the .hack// Legend of the Twlight. The series was
only 12 episodes long and took place after the old games and before the new
anime series .Hack//ROOTS. What you need to know is that Shugo and Lena
won a 'contest' that got them exclusive characters that looked like the
legendary .hackers: Kite and BlackRose. The contest was actually made
by Aura not CC Corp. Aura needed their help to fight against a vagrant
AI that was causing a huge amount of trouble. So with the help of Bulmung,
Sanjuro, and some friends they were able to put a stop to the mess. If
I were you I'd read the whole thing, it's actually intresting once you
read all of it. Anyway that's about the sum of things.
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
-E-mail- Atoli : Lets get going
Short version: You need to go with her to advance the story line.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp. : Campaign notice
Short version: after completing certian quests you can
continue to work for the guys/girls that gave you the quests.
They will reward you as you continue to do things for them. In this
case the Dr. who gave you the quest wants you to collect info. on the
Chim Chims...I think.
----------------------------------

Well looks like You need to go meet Atoli. So Save and log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

As you log-in you'll see a seen with Atoli. You'll be going alone
with her to her area. And despite what you might think, this won't
be boring.

----------------------------
-------4)Submissive,Tragedy's,1000 Oaks-------
----------------------------
Area Type:Field
Area Level:3
Party:Haseo,Atoli, (none)
My level:6

As you enter the area you start to realize just how much of an @$$ hole
Haseo really is. Of course it doesn't help that
Miss I-have-a-voice-like-nails-on-a-chalkboard is completly an air
head. And yeah of course just looking at Atoli is a constant reminder of
someone who special to him....... Anyway I'll say more about that later.

For now though there's really only one thing you can do: head out to collect
the symbol fragments to get to the beast statue. Everything is prety much
straight forward. The bridges are all in one path that lead to the Beast
statue
so no worries about getting side tracked.

--Also note that Atoli speclizes in healing magic, and is very very
good at it. Even more so when she gets to some higher levels:
*cough she's one of your most valuable party members Cough*

For now just keep moving and come back to read when you reach the
Beast Statue....
Ok you're back, As you open a treasure chest some scenes will start.
For now go with the flow. This will take awhile so when everything
is done and you're looking for a way out of the area come back and read
somemore......

--------------------------------
Movie- Avatar
Short Version/Main points:
Ok,first off that Fabio prety
boy with the cat. And how he was playing with that black matter:
Very odd. Anyway, The guy who comes to save the day gives you a
look at some very important things about the story. For the Vetrans
of .Hack you'll know the name Magus very well as the name of the
third phase. And if Magus is a phase...then the Terror of Death is.....
aaaahhh, never mind. Anyway, Kuhn gives you his member adress. *woot!*
I know he kinda looks.....differnt but Kuhn is amzing sweet.
----------------------------------

So anyway, Since you're already at the Lost Grounds take the time to explore
the area and enjoy. Because you won't be comming back anytime soon and no,
you can't just waltz in. It's kinda a one time thing. Well, if you
head to the back of the cave after looking around. You'll see a short loading
sceen then you'll find a Platform that will take you back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Well nothing much to do but log-out and read some E-mails.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Kuhn : Invitation to HQ
Short version: Kuhn wants to meet you in the mercenary district where you'll
then go to Raven; The Guild that Kuhn and some other people are in. This is
the next story event so it should be high on your to-do list.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Honkto : I'm sorry!
Short version: This is an e-mail apologizing for the fact that he
accidentally
sent you an e-mail that was ment for Lena.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Silabus : Another thing
Short version: He goes over what I've been talking about with customization.
But it'd be a good idea to read the e-mail and see if his explaination makes
more sense then mine.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Silabus : I Almost forgot
Short version: This teaches you some finer deatials about the combat system.
I Highly suggest reading this because it saves me having to write about it
when it's already there. So read it and absorb the the knowledge.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Atoli : Hello, Haseo
Short version: She re-caps on the days events. And
brings up some intresting points. Make sure to reply: "Sound"
----------------------------------

Well, Kuhn is waiting so log-in and lets go see him in the Mercenary
District.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
Us the warp point to go to the mercenary district to meet Kuhn.
GO with the flow and listen to what he has to say, Ignore Haseo being an
A**hole. Come back afterward and read so I can recap on everything that
was discussed later.

As you can see, Haseo and Pi still have issues. Hehe. As you can tell Yata
knows quite a bit about whats going on....yet maybe not so much. But one
thing's for sure, he's seen things like this happen before in "The World"
Which very possibly why he makes a far better Admin. then Lios ever was,
and is why he doesn't have a problem with a certian hacker running.....oh
wait...I probably shouldn't tell you that just yet. Enough said.

Well whatever, All I need say is that he's a character that the vetran
.hack players would know from the old games as a.....well how do I say it:
He is.....well he helped organize the alliance between the admins and
the hackers to fight the cursed wave in the old games, and worked closly
with Helba.

--------------------------------
Movie- Serpent of Lore
Short Version/Main points: It's an Admin room, and
I'd say Yata has been expecting Haseo for sometime now.
----------------------------------

Everything else is pretty well explained.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
As you re-enter Man Anu they give you a hint to check out the guild shops.
So
head over to central district. Head for the blue circle. Watch some scenes
with
Silabus and Gaspard. They send you on a little side quest. Use your map and
buy the need items. Good luck.

--------------------------------
Movie- Small customer
Short Version/Main points: You get stuck watching the shop. And soon you have
a
customer. Hehe, isn't she...ahhh he?, she?.....anyway, isn't it cute =P. So
yeah I love how Haseo shows that he actually has a heart when he's dealing
with Bo. hehe, times like this where I love Haseo's personality.
----------------------------------

For the vetrans of .hack : What do you remember from the third game that
is one thing over-all but has two personalites and are twins?.....BINGO
(if you got it).

You meet Atoli, HAHAHA I LOVE HIS FACE when he sees her!! HAHAHAHA!. But then
Haseo returns to his normal ***hole-ness.
So eventually you'll see Kuhn who said he had a 'appointment' to keep....
yeah he's a womanizer..lol. Hehehe, wow Kuhn used to be a steady guy when he
used to date a girl in his highschool. I mean she played a mojor role in
allowing the final battle between the .hackers and the final phase to
continue.
But thats off topic and .Hack fans may know who that makes him.....*cough
third best player of "The World:R1" before Kite came along cough*

- Haseo brings up the point that he is the way he is because of the Pkers,
Ovan, and Shino.

-And then Haseo is offered the position of Guild Master, intresting.

---------Afterwards----
-So for now, there's not a huge amount of stuff to do, so log-out.
-Check the official Forum for some more keywords that you'll be needing.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Kuhn : That Thing
Short version: Kuhn wants to help you now to try and summon your avatar.
Better meet in Mac Anu.
----------------------------------

First however, you need to check out the other e-mails and stuff.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Kuhn : Nice to meet you.
Short version: He's just greeting you to Raven. Really it doesn't
matter what you reply but I always reply with: "Yata"
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-News-
Short version: There's just a few articels about random things.
Read if you like.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
Forum Topic- Thankyou
Short Version: it's from Sakubo, just kinda
neat little message for you.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
Forum Topic- Rumors- Black Point
Short Version: just kind of intresting.
Not really anything other then that.
----------------------------------

Save then log-in. Well, I'm gana catch some Zzzzs and then continue
writing later.

Ok well after a good night's sleep I'm ready to go again.


As you log-in you'll meet Kuhn who gives you some key words as your
destination. And Haseo called Pi an old hag again. But at the end you
recive her member adress *WOOT*. Also, for anyone wondering Pi is called
'The Avenger', just like Haseo is the Terror of Death. So moving on, You
have new key words and that means a new objective. So Invite Kuhn and Pi
into your party. Before we get moving you should take the opertunity to go
under the Stradgey Option in your Main menu and set Pi to healing. The
reason
for this is that she doesn't do as much physical damage as Kuhn does, and you
need someone to act as a healer just in case. Also, change Kuhn from "Rage"
to
"Free-will". When that's done use the Chaos gate and lets get moving.

----------------------------
-------5)Great, Cursed, InLaws -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level:8
Party: Haseo,Pi, Kuhn
My level: 7
Ok to re-cap on all of that, Haseo is able to summon an Avatar, and Avarats
have the ability to Data Drain. Data Drain is the ability to forcefully
alter data. Players of the older .hack games will understand what I'm talking
about. They may also understand why it is that Tri-Edge was able to use Data
Drain without summoning an Avatar. But for those who don't know....well
you'll
just have to wait and see. Eventually I'll make sure to include an
explaniation.

For now all you need to do is make your way to the Field's Boss monster. It's
marked on the map by a pair of crossed swords. Take into mind that there are
other areas that the field's objective is to defeat a boss monster instead of
collecting symbol fragments. Also use the company of Pi and Kuhn to your
avantage: They're both level around level 14, you're level 7-8 use this field
to train a bit and kill a good amount of monsters to train Level up. Other
then that just make you're way over to the boss. Enjoy the scenes and I'll
talk
to you when you head back to Mac Anu.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Well when you get back you see some sceens with Kuhn and Pi. Afterwards
you'll left alone. Now would be the perfrect time to do some leveling up.
And
Believe me you will be doing ALOT of that shortly down the road, and it'd be
best for you to get a drop on things now while certian party members are
avalible to join you. So invite Silabus and Atoli to your party an
then you'll be heading off for an area. I would randomly chose an area
to go to.

----------------------------
-----**) (Random),(Random),(Random)-------
----------------------------
Area Type:Field
Area Level: 11
Party:Haseo,Silabus, Atoli
My level: 9

While in this level of area, you may or may not come across an item called
Blade Thorns; its a level 10 sword that Silabus can use.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!- DO NOT give a party members a peice of


equipment that they are not high enough level to equip. They will NOT equipe
weapons/armor/accessories when they reach a higher level and it will stay
useless in their inventory. If this happens you WILL have to give them
ANOTHER
peice of equipment when they reach a high enough level.

I sugest you give him one and then customize it.

Also, I found some level 10 heavey armor awhile back and Haseo should be
level
10 after you train at this time, so I'd equipe it to him and customize. Also
I got lucky and found a Brave Braclet accessory. It had a material called
Arts
Knowledge. This is very very useful Material. If you find any extra; make
sure to give one to Silabus who will diffentally need it. when you're done
doing things head on back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Time to do some shopping. Head over to the Mercenary district.

Sell anything and eveything you don't need:


Sell/Buy

*note-Make sure to remove all materials from equipment before you sell it.

-Sell scrolls (magic attack spells)


-Sell extra materials: (Don't sell the following materials- Arts Knowledge,
Turtle Schell,Fire mouse, Keep one Olm Schell to give to Atoli.)
-Sell warrior's blood, Knight Blood, ect.
(things that increase or decrease stats temporarily; DONT SELL FAIRY'S ORBS)
-Sell all equipment under level 10; keep one levl 10 sword for Silibus if you
havent given him one already. Keep one level 10 robe for Atoli, keep one
level
10 heavey armor for Haseo if you havn't equiped one already.
-Sell any level 15 accessories (they are not good to have despite their
level.)

-Buy the set of level 8 twin blades


-Buy level 10 light armor for Silabus

When you're done give the ;level 10 armor to Silabus, give the Olm schell to
Atoli to customize her staff with and then log-out.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : Re-Who Are you?
Short version: Reply: "Comatose"
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Gaspard : To our new Guild Master
Short version: He just sends his Congrats on the promotion.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Silabus : Guild Master
Short version: Silabus re-caps on somethings about how you're going
to be the new guild master of Canard. Personally I think it's sweet
that you get to run a guild, not to mention the perks that come with
it. But more on that later. Honestly I just wish you could go around
and recruit people to join the guild. That would be amazing.
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp. : Guild Master Change Request.
Short version: Basicly it goes over the fact that you have to
be responsible for your new powers as a Guild master and that to find
out more you should check in at your @Home.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Kuhn : Yata
Short version: Reply: "Pi"
----------------------------------

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Ok then, Head over to the mercenary district to where you entered Raven,
Instead of chosing Raven select Canard instead.

watch the scenes, lol, its funny to see Haseo's peronaility thrown back in
his face. Point being is that you need to go around the city to three
locations and talk to the grunty characters. It's not hard at all and
I won't insult your intelligence by telling you all the step by step
detials
cause it'd be pointless. I'll only note that the Grunites you talk to look
and have the personalites of several guild masters in the game: The one with
the white beard looks like Gabi (Kestral), The one in the red hat looks like
Yata, and the one with the purple hat ,and has horns is like Moon Tree's
guild
master Zelkova. Good luck and when you got all three head back to
Canard's @Home.

When you get back to Canard @Home you'll see yet another scene. Then head
over
to the central district. In the course of events Sakubo pays you back for
the
favor he owed you. Finally head back to the @Home one last time.

Ok to re-cap of What Death grunty talked about. Many of the old .hack fans
will
remember the Ryu book from the old games. Now you can prety much do the same
thing here but with your guild. The biggest difference I noticed was that
these
Books of 1000 are: 1)alot cooler 2)are easyier to complete, and 3) you get
way better rewards.

Go ahead and talk to death grunty.


-View Storage-This bascily takes the place of the Elf Haven in the old games.
You can store up to 40 items in this. Thats very very useful. Use the R1 and
L1
buttons to switch between viewing your inventory and viewing the storage.

-Guild Shop- This has to be the one of the bests things I like about the
new games. Here you can view your inventory. You can select up to 5 items to
be
put on display in the shop. What will happen is that when you get equipment
from Areas you can put them on display at your guild shop. Gaspard will sell
the items for you and if you talk to him later he'll give you the cash. This
means that you get almost the full value for the items rather then selling it
for less at other NPC shops. AKA more money for you. It takes a bit more time
to get the money buy it pays ALOT more.

-Book of 1000- here you can view different stats about your adventures thus
far.By pressing X you can view some more detialed info about what has been
left un filled in, but don't worry too much about it, you'll have filled
most everything in by the time you finish the game with only a little extra
work to do. Anyway when all the guages fill to 1000 your guild will raise
one rank. This allows you to buy a guild upgrade that will expand your
facilites. Very useful.

Well enough of that. I sure you're dieing to try the steam bike so head out
to the city.

Listen to Death Gunrty explain the bike controls. Aside from what he said
I want to add that if you hold the break button then hold the gas button
together and release the break, you will preform a Wheelie. Also if you
gain enough speed on the bike and you jerk the joy stick down and to the
right/left you will preform a power-slide.

Try it out and have fun. Afterward there really not alot to do but log-out.

The Official Forum has some new topics.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp. : Maintenance Complete
Short version: You know what this means? ARENA BABY!!!! WOOOOOOOT!!!!!
----------------------------------

Greeting cards- These things are like little friendly cards you cans end your
party members. You can feel free to send them to anyone you want but I found
that Pi and Kuhn have some of the more intresting things to say being that
their characters are devolped as much as the others are. Not to mention that
have a bigger role to play in the story line then the others
except maybe Atoli. So chose who you want.

----------------------------------

Well then. Not that that's over with time to log-in and head to the new town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------

As you enter there'll be quite a few scenes, go ahead and watch them.

--------------------------------
Movie- Emperor
Short Version/Main points: just his entrance movie.
----------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- Avatar Macha
Short Version/Main points: Yeah many will reconize Macha as the sixth phase.
As you can tell Endrance just owned that party. And for anyone paying
attention, you may start to put two and two together to figure out who
Endrace was in the old games......
----------------------------------

Chase after Ovan to see some scenes with him and then some other people.

--------------------------------
Movie- Other Sukubo
Short Version/Main points: Yeah that'd be the sister,
and she's a b*tch. But anyway, the scenes are some what
humorus.
----------------------------------

Basicly what happend is that Haseo decided that he's going to challenge
the Emperor for his title to 'prove his power'. Unfortunitaly this is where
Haseo really starts to show just how much of an @$$hole he can be at times.
But anywho, it's decided that Atoli and Silabus will be in your party for
the arena....at least that is if Atoli joins you.

-Like Silabus said before, if you're going to challenge the Emperor then
there's somethings you need to realize: 1) is that to be able to fight
Endrance
you'll have to break into the top 16 Arena teams to even enter the
tourtament.
2) is that you will need to be well over level 20 in order to even just hold
your own in the fights. 3) is that you need Atoli and 4) I'll add in that
Endrance is level 45......yeah you got a LONG way to go yet.
So these are the goals you'll be working toward for awhile, nothing else
really matters.

Alright first and formost is that you need Atoli; reason being is that you
and
your party needs to begin training. So lets deal with that first. Go ahead
and
log-out to check you're e-mails.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Atoli : Another Chance
Short version: She wants you to go with her
to another area so she can 'make up' for last time's
'mess.' (yeah like any of that was her fault, poor girl)

-E-mail- Gaspard : Re- Tri-Edge
Short version: He just mentions he'll help anyway he can.
Just reply: Endrance
----------------------------------

Depending on who you sent greeting cards to, you might get back some
responces.
I'm going to cover who I sent mine to and what type of info I got from them.
Also note that you'll probably get better responces out of some of the better
greeting cards down the road so don't worry if it seems like nothing
intresting
is being said just yet.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : Greeting Card

for now though I'm going to be putting that aside due to the things
that need done for the main story line. but if you find extra time
you can attempt it. I'll cover it eventually in my guide, just not right now.

This is where things get really really bad. Just follow along and
eventually head for the beast statue. watch the scenes
along the way too. Also, feel free to try out the steam bike in
the open fields.
But be warned this event is when everything is gana hit the fan;it's bad.

-Oh yeah, for those who played the old games and enjoyed the back story
to the old games you might care to know that in the game's back story, the
time
period is now 100 years ahead of where it was in the old games. And you might
also be wondering what happened to all the old Root Towns from the old game.
Well see what happened is the gods got pissed at the people and cast down
Fort Ouph from the sky, on it's way down it crashed into Dun Loireag on the
mountian tops. So both cities were destroyed. Also Carmina Gadelica was
destroyed from war and the gods wrath. The original OMEGA SERVER
(not Net Slum, the original sever that was too unstable to use and was
replaced by Helba's Net Slum) Was the location of the crest Gun and
was destroyed when it was fired into the sky at the gods.

so there's a small explaination why you probably won't be seeing the other
servers other the Mac Anu in the new game. Too bad though, I really liked
Carmina Gadelica. It was by far my favorite town of all time. So anyway.
On with the present story:

I'll make some points here and there:


-Haseo's name does have a very intresting meaning which ,I believe in the
second game, reveals some very surprising facts about the real life Haseo.
-Haseo is starting to get Pissed cause she is really at times starting to
remind him of Shino, and well I mean that's like taking a stake and driving
it through his heart and then twisting it very very slowly so it hurts like
hell. So yeah, give the guy a break.
-This is when he snaps.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
As you can tell Haseo was having trouble dealing with everything. I mean
Atoli
doesn't know about Shino, and she just told him to slow down, aka stop
worrying about saving Shino. At least that's kinda what it came across to
Haseo. And you can imagine how hard that'd be for
him. He visits the hospital to see the real life Shino everyday.......

Anyway, now that that's over with, head back to Canard.


After the scenes, not much left to do. Log-out and check your new e-mail.

As you leave Atoli trys to call out to you. You also see Sakubo
as the sceen ends.

Just keep going and try to find the beast Statue, that's all I can really say.
It's a low level area so you shouldn't have any problems.

As you approch the beast statue you you'll see some scenes watch
them then read on.

------------------In the Pursuit of Power------------------------
------------------------

--------Now then FINIALLY....it is time.


It's time to prepare yourself for the rest of the game. This section of the
game is critical, the things you do here will set the tone for how you play
the rest of the game. More on that
in a second. First off you need to warp over to the Chaos Gate and get your
party together.

Ok then You need to read everything here first so you understand how your
choices at this point are going to affect the game.

At this point you will be starting into the Arena. This place is where you
can
fight other players for rankings. The Demon Palace is the class of Arena
battle you'll be taking part in. They span anywhere from level 1 up to level
50 players. You are level like 10. That means you have somethig you need to
do
very badly. Level up.....like alot. But here's the thing. The story line/
game
creators only want you to level up to 20; I, on the other hand ussally level
up to level 30 . WHY? Because it makes things ALOT easier in the rest of the
game. BUT it takes away from the affect of the story line,
so here's your choices at this point: Option A or Option B.

"What about Option C?"


"Travis, there is no Option C."
"What? You sure..I mean there's always an option C."
-* the Rock kicks his @$$*-

Lol a little Humor from the movie Run Down.

Anywho,.....

Option A
You follow the story line more or less how it's suposed to go, the difference
is that you don't advance the story line right now until you are level 20.
At which point you start into the arena battles. From there you wait until
'The Old Man' makes you do his challenge. Again at which point you level
up till you hit level 30. From there you just continue on like normal with
the story.
Pros- makes the game easier.
Cons- The game wants you to be kind of weak for the first round in the
tourtament and several other battles; and you won't be at all, so you take
away from the effect of the story.

Option B
You go to Lumina Cloth now and continue the story, then you level up here
and there as you progress the story, you'll be about level 22 or 23 for the
first round of the tourtament. The rest of the game will require you to
constantly level up in between tourtament rounds. But the story will coninue
like normal and how the game creators intended it to be.

--In this guide I'll be going with Option A because honestly I hate doing it
any other way,I could handle doing it normally the first time I played the
game
but not anymore. So if you want to take Option B feel free to do so, but
unfortunitally I just won't cover it in this
guide, really it all depends on how you like to play the game. It's up to you.

---The Plan--

Regardless of what Option you go with you'll need to follow my instructions


until further notice. I'll let you know when you'll need to make the choice
between which Option you want to go with. So yeah, for now keep folowing
the guide.

set-up doesn't have to be exactly like this, but for now that makes for
one of the best set-ups you're going to get.

Buy/Trade/Find from treasure chest:


(Haseo)Level 14 Twin swords-Customize with Fire attack (save for later)
(Haseo) Level 10 Heavey Armor- Customize with -10% Physical damage

When you get back to town: Save game,Buy healing items,Work to upgrade
equipment, and Restock the Guild Store.(If you start to max out the amount
of healing items you can carry, give your extras to Atoli) I should note
now that you cant use items in the Arena, which means the only way to heal
anyone is to learn healing spells. You can buy the scrolls to learn
healing spells from the Magic shop in the mercenary distric. Get into the
habit of doing this everytime you get back from going out to an Area.
Afterward guess what you get to do.....train more.

-You may or may not come across some level 20 accessories. They are the best
accessories that you're going to be able to get your hands on for a good
awhile. So make sure to hang onto them until you can Equip them. (That is
until you get the level 24 accessories which are even better)

when you get back to town do the now normal schedule:


Save game,Buy healing items,Work to upgrade equipment, and Restock

Ok By this time my entire party got prety lucky with the Areas I got and were
able to get to Level 21. Now then. If you're going to go with:

--> Option A I suggest that you continue reading


but just dont pay any attention to the fact that In some places I'm going
to make time for leveling up. In other words don't worry about leveling up
until after the 1st round in the tourtament.
However, if you are going with:

Head back to Town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
Your party at this point should be about Ohhh level 20-21.
Being that you've just been training alot make sure to take care of the
chores:
Save game,Buy healing items,Work to upgrade equipment, and Restock
the Guild Store.

Buy/Trade/Find from treasure chest:


(Haseo)Level 18 Twin swords-Customize with Fire attack
(Can find in a level 18-20 Area)
(Haseo) Level 20 Heavey Armor- Customize with -10% Physical damage
(Haseo) level 20 accessory- Customize with Arts Knowledge

(Silabus) Level 20 light armor- Customize with -10% Physical damage
(Silabus)level 20 accessory (- Customize with Arts Knowledge

Oppenents in the Arena use added bonuses to their weapons like Curse,
Poision, and Sleep. So,If I were you I would take the time to buy the
three status healing scrools from the magic shop and use them on Atoli
so she can heal your Status aliments. Durning Battle.

Now that you spent all that time training. I'd say you're due for a break.
Go ahead and log-out so you can check your e-mail.

Head to the Arena counter and watch the scenes.
You'll find yourselves in the Waiting room. The Waiting room is a prety cool
place. Here you'll find information on your opponents on one of the wall
screnes and on the other you'll find the current rankings. Use the warp point
to Continue to the fight. as you can see your first opponets are only like
level 10. You will literly kill them
in one hit. See you on the other side.

How'd it go? You really own them? Personially for me I was able to take out
their whole party with 3 attacks.

Anyway, here's the thing, if you're going to compete you have got to raise
your ranking. So get to it!

Everytime you finish a battle return to the Arena Counter and register for
the
next fight. I would pick the Limited Battles. That way you don't get matched
against a really strong team by random chance in the Survival battles. What
you want to do is to keep fight those teams that are either rated 'EVEN'
normally or 'Slightly-Strong' if you feel brave. Anyway Keep fighting, don't
stop. Also, Just remember that you really really need to get good at counter
attacking. Just remember that when your oppenents are about to use an arts
on
you, you have to counter attack by using the arts on them first before they
can pull of the attack on you. That's really all the advice I can think of;
just keep your eyes and ears open for those arts. And don't forget, you can
use charged attacks on them but then again they can use em on you too.

You have to gain about 600Wp (also called ranking points) After that make
sure to log out and
check some e-mails. You got some important things to do:

in the whole entire game series. AND its even more beautiful then before.
Unfortunitally, unlike at the begining of the game, your visit here this
time will not be so .....great. Personially I'd rather have Haseo Pked by
Tri-Edge AGAIN then what's about to happen here.

I want to throw up just thinking about it: just go to the front doors and
go in. I'll cry with you in a bit after you watch the scenes, and please long
time .hack fans; I know this is going to be hard but please don't slit your
wrists or pluck out your eyes.......

Argh, I know....he's back. I honestly thought I had been rid Of Piros the
last
time around. But no, he's back. AHHHHHHH! Anyway Piros is a Lord Partizan,
and to be competly honest, I simply don't use him in my party unless forced
to, thankfully you are not required to spend money and time on the worthless
peice of crap to progress the story line, so be thankfull for
at least that.

Ok this place is Confussing. Like ALOT. The deal with this place is that
there's one big maze that you have to go through to be able to reach the
Beast statue, and it's not as easy as using a Fairy Orb to reveal all the
map either. See there's a bunch of warp points and only one of them
will take you to the Beast Statue. Antares will send you flash mails to
give you hits on how to beat it but I'll do better then That. I'll
walk you through it.

o =Warp point
[] =Is a room
- =is a Passage way
w= the finial warp point from the middle

This map only shows the path you need to follow, it doesnt mark
every warp point or rooms, just the ones you need to know about.

--------------------------------------------
Ok this map gives you an idea of what you need to do to get to the end
but I'll explain it in words.
*note*- dont use any warp points in the middle of a room until you get to
the FINIAL warp point in the center. The monsters in a room will
ussaly be guarding the door you need to go through to get to the correct
warp point. Keep that in mind.

1) head west, ignore the warp point in the middel of the room, head right to
the one farthest to the left, use it.
2) head west again and use the west most warp point. Now head north and use
the warp point.
3) head north again and use that warp point.
4) Now head east and use the east most warp point.
5)Go east again and use the east warp point.
6) Now head south and use the warp point.
7) Now head west again and use that warp point
8) You should now be in the center of the dungeon. Use the warp point in the
center of the room. It will take you to the Beast statue.
--As you Approch the Beast Statue you'll see a sceen with Antares:
9) Grab the beast statue treasure and warp back to town.

Before we get back to Arena battle you have some very important leveling
up to do. This is the last chance before the Tourtament to level up and
get ready. So if you plan on folowing Option A: Then I suggest you get your
party and head out for a good training area. If you're going with Option B:
Don't go and train but pay attention to eveything else.

When you get back to town keep in mind this list of equipment, also I note

by this time you should have graduated from the mercenary distric weapon
store to the Alchmey District store:
Buy/Trade/Find from treasure chest:
(Haseo)Level 30 Twin swords-Customize with Fire attack
(Can find in a level 18-20 Area)
(Haseo)Level 30 Broad sword-Customize with +10% Critial Hit or fire attack
(Haseo) Level 27 Heavey Armor- Customize with -10% Physical damage
(Haseo) level 24 accessory- Customize with Arts Knowledge
(Atoli)Level 15 Staff- Customize with Water attack

(Silabus)Level 17 Sword- Customize with fire attack
(from weapons shop in Alchemy Destrict)
(Silabus) Level 28 light armor- Customize with -10% Physical damage
(Silabus)level 24 accessory (- Customize with Arts Knowledge

I realize that you and your party probably won't be able to use most
of the stuff yet, but after the next Area for leveling up, you should,
or at least be close. If you are going with Option B and are not leveling
up, make sure to save this list of equipment till later.

even fully understand. I have no idea who Gabi is
from the old games. All I know is that he has a
hidden idenity of some type, and I honestly dont know what
it is....oh well.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
As you get back to Town head out for Canard's @Home.
You see some scenes with all the gang.
A lil later you find out that Kuhn and Pi will be taking part in the
toutament as well.
Also Silabus won't be joining you in the first round.....

Log-out and check you're e-mail, maybe that'll provide some hope to a
bad situation.

Check the official site and forum.


Then quit and check the e-mails and forums for info. on a new found
hope, and the end to Haseo's gay looking outfit.

Log-in and head to the quest shop to accept the special Job extension quest.

Once you've accept the seeker of the Twilight quest (or something like that)
Head for the Chaos gate and get ready:

-------11)Pulsating,Ullimited,Metal doll (Q)-------
-----------------------------------
Area Type:Jungel Cave
Area Level:22
Party:Haseo,None, None
My level: 30

This area should look real familar as in like the area where Antares sent you
to prove yourself.

Use the same stradgey as I mentioned to you before:


-------------------
o =Warp point
[] =Is a room
- =is a Passage way
w= the finial warp point from the middle

This map only shows the path you need to follow, it doesnt mark
every warp point or rooms, just the ones you need to know about.
---------------------------------------------

N

S

o-[ ]-[Finish]

[ ]-o-[ ]-o-[ ]
| |
o o

[ ] [W]-o-[ ]
|
o
|
[ ]-o-[ ]-o-[ ]-{}-[start]

--------------------------------------------
Ok this map gives you an idea of what you need to do to get to the end
but I'll explain it in words.
*note*- dont use any warp points in the middle of a room until you get
to the FINIAL warp point in the center. The monsters in a room will
ussaly be guarding the door you need to go through to get to the
correct warp point. Keep that in mind.
1) head west, ignore the warp point in the middel of the room, head
righ to the one
farthest to the left, use it.
2) head west gain and use the west most warp point. Now head north and
use the warp point.
3) head north again and use that warp point.
4) Now head east and use the east most warp point.
5)Go east again and use the east warp point.
6) Now head south and use the warp point.
7) Now head west again and use that warp point
8) You should now be in the center of the dungeon. use the warp point
in the center
of the room. It will take you to the Beast statue.
9) MAKE SURE to Grab the beast statue treasure and warp back to town.

You may have to warp to the quest shop, once you do the quest will end and
you'll see the awesome movie where Haseo recives his amazing new outfit.

--------------------------------
Movie- Second Form
Short Version/Main points: He looks awesome, enough said.
----------------------------------

Afterward you'll get a broad


sword, its Haseo's original sword, bad news is that it's really weak
compared to your awesome level 30 sword which you'll want to equipe for
the tourtament. So when you're done you see Antares and he'll talk to
you, lol its kinda funny. Watch and enjoy.

Now then I'm going to cover Broad swords real quick. Broad swords are
really sweet, and between Twin swords and a Broad sword: the later is
more usefull as a general rule. The reason is that When you have your
normal Party of you, Silabus, and Atoli: Silabus is fast enough and you do
all the heavey lifting aka heavey damage. I personially like the Hold and
release style alot more then speed. Anyway being that you've never used
them before I highly suggest going to a low leveled area (if you're level 30)
go to an area like level 28, or (if you're at level 23) go to an area level
20. The reason is you need to get used to using the new style of weapon.
But it's purly up to you.

Afterward: Make sure to log out and check your e-mail.

--------- 12)Tourtament: Round One --------------
----------------------------
-Party:Haseo (31),Atoli(30),(None)
-Opponets: Bordeaux (27),Negimaru,(26),Grein(25)
-Before the fight advice:

Ok what you have to realize about the


tourtament is that you just need to beat your opponet enough to
trigger a story event. For those who decided NOT to go with my
level-up-like-crazy Stragedy (Option B): Just keep your eyes on the other
team,
just keep using counter attacks, DO NOT use the skill trigger except to
counter attack. Use you're Charged attack to your advantage. Good luck.
-And if you were wondering: after this round
you'll have caught up to where my plan would have taken you.
Option A:
For those who did it like I do, you should be level 31 and will
seriously kick some butt. So no worries. Just go out there and knock
them to kingdom come (just make sure to use counter attacks, and keep
you eye on Bordeaux, she'll kill you if you're not careful) Good luck
and DO NOT read ahead until the scenes are OVER. Then come
back and I'll re-cap on all that major points.
--------------------------------
Movie- Skeith Awakens
Short Version/Main points: Oh yeah, for those who haven't guessed all my
obvious hints. Haseo's avatar is none other then the first phase: SKeith.
This name is well remembered by the original .hack gamers as the first boss
that taught them the meaning of 'PWNED'. Skeith was the finial boss from the
frst game and a heck of a challenge. Not to mention Kite's first major
opponent.

If it wasn't for Skeith, Kite would have never been the hero he was....ahh
the
good old days. Anyway, point being is that Skeith is back and with a make
over:
he looks sweet. Also you see Ovan in the crowd. hehe, he helps Haseo awaken.
so
to speak. Also, REMEMBER only people with the ability to possibly use Avatars
can even SEE avatars. Keep that in mind.
----------------------------------

-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------

After the fight you see some scenes with Kuhn.


And then Haseo shows just how much he is a REAL A$$HOLE!!!
Anyway, nothing to do but log-out.

Short version: A new Episode of Online Jack is now availabe. It's
EXTREEMLY intresting.
You've GOT to watch it.

Also under the 'News' section you'll find a news clip about a girl who
passed out and went into a coma while playing an 'online game'. She
did wake up though. Good thing too. There's some other news that you
should probably check out.

As you log-in you'll see a short scene with Atoli and her...ah never mind.
Head for Canard's @Home for some more scenes.

Also I should note, people going with option B: you need to get to level 32
before the next round in the Tourtament at which point you'll be completly
caught to to people who leveled up like crazy before the first round.
I suggest you put together a party and head for a good area to train at,
for the up comming misson you should probably attain a level of atleast level
26-28. Once you manage to do that; continue on with the story.

Afterward you'll need to log-out and check your e-mail. You'll get at least
4 important e-mails if you did the e-mails the way I did them:

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Yata : Urgent
Short version: You need to go to Raven. Great.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Piros the 3rd : Let us share our stories (yay?)
Short version: tell him to pi$$ off. lol, just kidding.
----------------------------------

No seriosuly I would ignore his e-mail till later.


I mean it'd be kinda pointless unless of course you really want to do some
quests at the Quest Shop. Not that it'd be a bad thing. I mean they are
kinda
piling up and you got to do them eventually so if you want: go ahead and try
doing some quests. But First the other e-mails

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Gaspard : Re: Endrance
Short version: Gaspard, aside from normally being stupid, actually brings
up some very intresting points about Endrance. Reply: 'GoodLuck'
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Silabus : Re-Resident of the Forest
Short version: lol, you don't get alot of info on the quest but I can tell
you that it's the reason why Haseo was so Bad @$$ as the Terror of Death.
But it wasn't the power that was the most intresting thing about the
quest: it was infact that there was someone waiting at the end of it. Someone
who's been around for a very very long time. And he is also the underlying
reason why everything went to crap the last time, and indirectly is why it is
happening again. Many people who played the old games thought he was
destroyed
in the 4th game of the original series, but apperentally he doesn't die
that easy and he's still around. Point being, reply: 'You don't need to know'
----------------------------------
Go ahead and log-in

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Head for Raven. Walk in and head for the back. Scenes and Movies will follow.
Watch then read ahead.

Haseo and Pi have been assigned to go on a training mission.


--------------------------------
Movie- Tri-Edge's Sign
Short Version/Main points: First off you watch as Tri-Edge attacks a player
with data drain. And to tell you the truth I really don't know what the heck
he's doing. I mean even though I havn't played the 2nd or 3rd game, I do know
alot about what happens. (stay away from www.dothack.net fourms if you don't
want spoilers) I actually stoped using the foums on that site cause I was
learning too much about what happens, and trust me, the games are alot better
when you havn't been told what will happen. Anyway, I know why Tri-edge is
the
way he is, and I know what he's generally been doing. But I honestly don't
know for sure why he data drained that guy. Oh well, maybe we'll find out
later.

You meet Antares there. Go with the flow and follow along
with Antares. Read on when you're all done.

well, you met Alkaid did you? She's a spunky little one aint she?
Also, you met Taihaku and the telephone pole: Sirius.
!!!!!SPOILER WARNING!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------

Again: For the .Hack Vetrans of the old series Taihaku is in fact
a character from the old games. He may not be the 'hero of justice'
he once was but he still plays the game and like his old self, can't
help but being one of the best and highest leveled players.
If you didn't know: He's the emperor of the Saga Placace AKA. Emperor
of Arena classlevel 101-150, making him pure ownage, same as always. He
may sound like an old guy now, and he may have aged a couple years but I
for one was EXTREEMLY glad to see his return to the games with the GU series.
However, I should mention one thing, this character ID has not been 100%
confirmed but a group of people on dothackers.net believe he is who we
think he is.
------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway when it's all done with:

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Yata : Investigate

-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------

Warp over to Mac Anu.


----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
You see some scenes with Pi. Time to get down to bussiness.
I should point out that if you want with Plan B: you'll be following
the game as it was intended with you're level now hopefully around level
27. For those who did my awesome plan of ownage Plan A: You'll still be like
level 31 and more then ready for this new area.

After the sermon from Pi, Invite her to your party and head for the new area:

----------------------------
-------13)Delicious,Past's,Weed Eater-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Temple
Area Level: 23
Party:Haseo,Pi,None
My level: 31

Ok this area will Serve as a training ground or tutorial


for the Avatar Battles.

For now you need to keep heading for the Beast statue, you'll come into
contact with AIDA 3 times between now and then. Those three times will serve
as an opertunity to sharpen your skills on controling the avatar. After that
you'll be put to a test. But more on that later. For now head out and when
you're attacked by AIDA come back and read so I can give you pointers on
how things work with all the Avatar game-play stuff. Ok, enough said for now:
Move out, you'll be runninginto AIDA very shortly.

Pi will give you a short tutorial on how to do things But I'll add here
and there to what's beeing said. For now Listen to Pi and read on when
you're turned lose on the AIDA.

-----------------------------
------------------ AVATAR BATTLES-----------------------
-----------------------------

Controls:

Normal Mode:

--Left joy stick


Controls movement:
Up- Move toward target.
Down- Move away from target.
Left- Strafe left
Right- Strafe Right

Square- Uses stun shot (also inflicts damage)


X- Slash (when close to target)
O- Dash/boost of speed (With Joy stick)

Data Drain mode:


X- (hold down) Charge Data Drain
O- Dash

Notes on controls and Avatar Battles:


-certian attacks must be evaded with Dash in order to avoid taking heavy
damage.
-If you get hit when charging Data Drain you'll have to start charging again.

-If you continously shoot AIDA with the 'Shot' button, you
will stun your enemy. When this happens Dash in quickly and Slash away to
inflict MAJOR damage. This is ussally the only way enough damage is
inflicted to win.

-Sometimes enemies will launch objects at you that you can only block by
slashing at it.
- You must perform Data Drain quickly, you have a timer after an enemy
protect
breaks, if it reaches 0 you'll more or less have to start over.
-There is a direct relation between how
strong Skeith is to how strong Haseo is. If Haseo levels up so does Skeith.

Not much to say other then that: Good luck and enjoy the awesome
avatar battles.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Anna> :1
My Level: 31
Enemy Attacks:
Algol Bullet- use Slash to defend
Algol Laser- Powerful attack, use Dash to avoid.
Normal shot- It will shoot little balls of energy at you. Dash to evade.

Keep shooting it till it's stuned, get and close and slash away. Keep going
till it protect breaks.

When it protect breaks you'll have a timer that will count down from about 1
minute, the timers vary from Boss to Boss. You need to data drain it in that
time. Charge DD as you continue to watch the incomming enemy shots, dodge
them
and when AIDA pauses for a breif moment, release DD and fire away.
-----------------------------------

Afterward Pi mentions that summoning more then one Avatar is dangerous and
that
for now the best way to do things is summon just one and suport that person.
Also I'm sure you noticed that AVATARS generate a sort of alternate space
when
they're summoned. Not even Yata is sure why exactly that is, but as a result
only avatar users can even see them. Which is a good thing. If regulare
players
knew about Avatars, they would seriously flip sh*t. But aside from that. Keep
moving through the Dungeon and fight the next AIDA. Make sure to check back
at the end of each AIDA battle.
-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Anna> :2
My Level: 31
Enemy Attacks:
Algol Bullet- use Slash to defend
Algol :Laser- Powerful attack, use Dash to avoid.
Normal shot- It will shoot little balls of energy at you. Dash to evade.

Keep shooting it till it's stuned, get and close and slash away. Keep going
till it protect breaks.

When it protect breaks you'll have a timer that will count down from about
1 minute, the timers vary from Boss to Boss. You need to data drain it in
that
time. Charge DD as you continue to watch the incomming enemy shots, dodge
them
and when AIDA pauses for a breif moment, release DD and fire away.
-----------------------------------

Another down: and there's two more AIDA singnals in the area, keep looking.
-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Anna> :3
My Level: 31
Enemy Attacks:
Algol Bullet- use Slash to defend
Algol :Laser- Powerful attack, use Dash to avoid.
Normal shot- It will shoot little balls of energy at you. Dash to evade.

Stragedy:
Keep shooting it till it's stuned, get and close and slash away. Keep going
till it protect breaks.

When it protect breaks you'll have a timer that will count down from about 1
minute, the timers vary from Boss to Boss. You need to data drain it in that
time. Charge DD as you continue to watch the incomming enemy shots, dodge
them
and when AIDA pauses for a breif moment, release DD and fire away.
-----------------------------------

As you finish with the third AIDA Pi mentions something about other users
detected and that the singnal with in the area was steadily raising. Pi makes
the call and says she'll take out the last one using her Avatar. For now
you go to find it. Head off toward the other block (Section) of the area.
You'll find what you're looking for at the Beast Statue. When you get there
you'll have to be ready. You'll see a CG move where some story line events
unfold. When you're ready to begin the next boss battle continue to read
ahead
so I can tell you how to handel it. But not until then other wise it'll
give away some goodies. Continue then come back.
--------------------------------
Movie- Pi Infected
Short Version/Main points: As you and Pi were looking for the origin of the
last signal AIDA comes out of nowhere and tried to infect Zelkova. But Pi
saves the day....kinda.

Pi gets infected with Aida, she wanted you to


call Kuhn but Haseo know's it'll be too late by then, you have to do it.
----------------------------------

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Tarvos
My Level: 31
Enemy Attacks:

Normal shot- She shoots spikes out of her 'wings', Dodge with Dash

Orb of Revenge- She launches a ball of binding energy at you, if you get
caught
in it, it will fuzz up your line of sight and make you all slow and stuff,
use slash to block it. you may have to slash a few times to get it destroyed.

If you do enough damage to her quickly enough she will launch bigger stakes
at you, you need to destroy as many of them as you can before she's done
attacking because the ones you don't block she will collect up again and then
will use her main skill:

Stake of Death- the stakes you didn't block she will launch at you again,
and you can't avoid it.

Data Drain-It won't kill you but you have to rapidly smash buttons to free
yourself. What I ussally do is change my grip on my controller
( take my right hand off) when I know this is comming, and I take my pointer
finger and my middel finger and rapidly smash the X and O button together
to reduce the damage greatly. You can ussaly break free from the data drain
effect with in about 1.5-2 seconds doing it like that, and that's essential
durning other Avatar battles.

Stragedy:
She's tough if you're lower leveled but at level 31: no problem.
She is still a challenge though, make no mistake about that.
Keep shooting at her to try and stun her. Then move in close for an attack
with slashing. Also I should note that on rare occasions I've seen her use
her
Wings to form a shield to protect herself. Not sure if you have to get in
close to slash her or what not, but use your best judgement if it happens to
you.
Avoid her attacks as best you can, when she protect breaks she'll unlease a
wave of stakes. As you charge DD use O to dash out of the way. When she
pauses,
let her have it. Afterward enjoy the scenes.
-----------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- End Result
Short Version/Main points: You once again see that under neather the @$$hole
Haseo has a heart. "WELL GUESS WHAT HASEO! I'm gana beat that @$$hole out
of you if it's the last thing I do. AND...you ARE gana become a hero if it
kills you."
----------------------------------

Afterward you see some scenes with.....well their just two people..... the
little guy is actually someone from the old games. And if my information is
right, you'll be VERY suprised to find out who it is.....You want to know?
WELL TOO BAD.

Don't worry, Pi still has her Avatar, you just removed the AIDA that
infected her. Or at least that's what my sources tell me.
Anyway, grab the Beast statue treasure and warp back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------

Just keep moving and watch the scenes. Nothing too much I have to go over.
I'll Comment later:

-Zelkova is extreemly intresting to me, He knows things that normal people


don't. Not to mention he is every bit as strong if not stronger then Gabi.
The major difference between the two is that Gabi shows off his strength now
and then, Zelkova's strength isn't necessarily in levels (Don't get me
wronge
he's one of the strongest out there) but rather his strength is greatest in
what he can do outside of the game. But I won't say too much more, I'll
only give two hints: 1)In the old game this person had a tendency to randomly
pop up here and there to watch major events unfold.2) Also, normal players
can
not edit Zelkova's horns into their character like he did; There was also
a person in the old games who had a character like that.

-Note that Zelkova was at that area to "observe".


Pi Abruptly ends the meeting and leaves.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
When you get back to town, Pi brings up some very important points. Haseo
is drawing WAY too much attention. I mean it's bad enough that he's the
Terror of Death, but on top of
that now he's becoming famous in the Tourtament.
Now then, log-out and check for e-mails.

This is your last chance to level up before the next round. I would be level
32 if I were you or else this becomes a bit of a challenge, but not too bad.

Also, I should note that you might want to talk with Death Grunty to see
where
you stand on the Books of 1000.

Anyway I went ahead and took off for a level 34 area.

----------------------------
-------**)(Random),(Random),(Random)-------
----------------------------
Area Type:Field
Area Level:34
Party:Haseo,Atoli,Silabus
My level: 31
I Should mention that you should save any higher leveled equipment.
Also you're not allowed to gain a weapon level over 5 before the first round
of the tourtament, and as for me I was just about to gain another level,
thats
how I found out. Point being is that when you reach Weapon level 7 with your
twin swords you'll gain Tri-Strike, your last Art for Twin Swords. After that
I would work a bit on your broad sword skills, after all it'll probably end
up
being your weapon of choice.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
Also now that I've been thinking of Weapon Levels. There's a Cleric that you
can trade with in town called Henko. She has these items that you can get
from her that will raise you're weapon level by 50%. If you have enough items
that she finds valueable, you can get these from her and raise weapons
levels
fast. I believe that Weapon level 7 renders your finial Art for Each type of
Weapon. That's four arts each, your party members can only get up to 3 arts
each. So don't bother using those items on them. Also I'm prety sure there's
a
guy called Corporal *something*, anyway he has those items to trade aswell.
(Note that if they don't have those items yet, they will later in the game)

-Make sure to do the chores:


Save game,Buy healing items,Work to upgrade equipment, and Restock

When all is ready, get set for the next round: Warp to the Arena

----------------------------

As you guys prepare for the next round Haseo shows that he really really
really
is an @$$hole. I swear. Anyway good luck with the fight.

---------15) Tourtament: Round Two --------------
----------------------------
-Party:Haseo (33),Atoli(32),Silabus(32)
-Opponets: Matsu (33),Bekunai(32),Yosuke(32)
-Before the fight advice:

This time you'll have to beat Matsu for real, no story event
to save you this time. Just pound that crap out of him. Good luck.
-------------------------------------------------

Afterward you see some scenes at which point you aquire Flame Sword. Which is
sweet cause it's a really good weapon. Not a thing to do but log out and
check e-mails.

As you go to check your e-mail (if you visited Death Grunty and caught up on
how you've progressed with the books of 1000) you may have new Greeting
cards. Feel free to send them to anyone you want. I suggest Kuhn and Pi
over the others just becuase their characters have backgrounds that are
more relavent to the story line.

Aside from that, Check your e-mail:

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Gaspard : RE- Good luck
Short version: He just says thanks
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Piros the 3rd : New Descration Discovered.
Short version: Piros found a new location where a Tri-Edge Sign mark is.
Hmmmm....
----------------------------------

Also the Apkallu has some new pictures to look at.


Log-in when ready.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------
Warp over to Mac Anu.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Just warp to the area, don't invite anyone.

----------------------------
-------16)Hidden,Forbidden,Bulwark-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Landscape
Area Level: None
Party:Haseo,None,None
My level: 33

As you warp toward this area you'll see some scenes. Watch first then
read on.
Ovan and Yata seem to have an understanding with one another, and it seems
to me they know exactly what's been happening to Haseo and why...or at least
Ovan understands completly. Ovan also mentions that the wall is a 'prison '
for something, either what is on the other side of the wall, or what's on
'this' side of the wall......

As Haseo shows up Piros' dang ugly face is there to greet him. Just keep
talking to him until Haseo says there's no point in sticking around.

Warp back to Town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

When you get back to town get ready for some training: You need to level
you and your Party up and look into new equipment up-grades.

Buy/Trade/Find from treasure chest:


(Haseo)Level 30 Twin swords-Customize with Fire attack and +10% Critacal hit
(Haseo)Level 32 Flame Sword (matsu gives this to you after the second round)
(Haseo) Level 35 Heavey Armor- Customize with -10% Physical damage, and -10%
Magic Damage.
(Haseo) level 24 or 35 accessory- Customize with Arts Knowledge
(Atoli)Level 32 Staff- Customize with Water attack and Cure (or)Sleep
(Atoli)level 28 Robes- Customize with -10% Physical damage
(Atoli) Level 24 0r 35 accessory- Customize with Heal Knowledge
(Silabus)Level 35 Sword- Customize with fire attack
(Silabus) Level 28 light armor- Customize with -10% Physical damage
(Silabus)level 24 or 35 accessory- Customize with Arts Knowledge

When you and your party reach level 36, you'll be able to equipe all these
items and you'll easily be ready for the next round. When you're done with
that log-out to continue the story.

By the way, at some point near here Canard's guild rank should probably
increase to the 2nd rank. What this means is that you may or may not be
getting an e-mail from cc-corp saying that You can buy up-grades for the
guild.
Just go to Death grunty and talk to him. All you need to know is that if you
get the expansion you can sell up to 7 items at the guild shop at one time,
and store more items.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Antares : Extreemly Urgent

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------
Chase Alkaid to the back ally Behind the Arena.

Watch the scenes with Haseo and Endrance. The pric decides to tick Haseo
off yet again.

I love how Haseo randomly decides that loging-out and checking his e-mail
would be a good idea right in the middle of throwning a little tirade.

Take his advice:

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Gaspard : you'll win
Short version: he says that he's sorry he can do little more then help you
find
good area to train at. Well I'll be the judge of that.
----------------------------------

----------------------------

Go ahead and put Silabus in your party and head over to the counter and
register. Then get ready for the semi-finals match.

There's nothing to say about the waiting room because nothing is said
between Haseo and party. But you get to watch some funny scenes with
Kuhn and Pi. =P

If you made sure to Level up and get equipment then this fight will
be very easy. Just keep at it and don't give up. There shouldn't be
too much trouble for you. Good luck and see you on the other side.
-------------------------------------------------
Don't read on till the tourtament round is over.

--------------------------------
Movie- Alkaid's Furry
Short Version/Main points: See, it's kinda weird, cause Haseo
didn't MEAN to summon skeith, it kinda happened. That's not a good
sign. But needless to say he still won the round and will face off
with the last team in the finials.
----------------------------------

And then we have the scenes with Kuhn and Pi again. Kuhn is gana
show Haseo just how terrifying the power of avatars are.

Well nothing to do but log-out and check the fourms and e-mail.

Once back I should mention a few things to keep in mind:


1) is that by this point in the game Henko should have skill books
to up your weapon levels
2) Is that Haseo and Atoli will be able to get a level 42 peice of armor.
3) Eventually you may or may not come across some level 40 accessories.
They're the best this game can offer, so make sure to get some.
4) You'll probably need to head back out and keep leveling-up.

not easy, and if you aren't ready for it, you'll get you @$$ handed to you.
So when you think your ready Log-out and check your mail.

Remeber way at the begining of the Tourtament that Kuhn said GU members were
taking part in the tourtament to target Endrance? Yeah well lets just say
you
and them want to fight Endrance, so you two teams will have to fight it out
to
decided who gets to go to the Championship match.

----------------------------
---------19) Tourtament: Finials--------------
----------------------------
-Party:Haseo (42),Atoli(42),Silabus(42)
-Opponets: Kuhn (41),Pi(41),Antares(41)
-Before the fight advice:

If you've prepared for this, and you know your arena tactics.
And with some luck, and serious kicking of @$$ you'll do ok. Really
the best thing you can do is pick one of your opponents and just focus
on that one only. I would just consentrate on that person Silabus is
attacking. Or use the Menu and have Silabus use an Arts on the person
you're attacking so he focuses on that person aswell. Just makes sure to
REALLY keep an eye on Kuhn's Steam gunner attacks. He uses them ALOT.
So either use that to your advantage and
counter-attack, or just hold the block button.

Good luck and see you on the other side.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Magus
My Level: 42
Enemy Attacks:

Normal shot- Kuhn will fire off a volley of rapid fire, dash like crazy
to avoid.

Flash of Green- A bunch of lasers will shoot out from magus. First they will
go down the screen. Move a little to the left, then when the lasers start to
come back up, move right back a little
to where you started. They'll miss you entirely.

Unforgiving Bud- Basicly Kuhn will release a bunch of buds that will come
to attack you. Slash at them as the come closer to destroy them. If you
can't get them all , dash away in the oppisite direstion.

Data Drain- Kuhn won't use Data Drain on you. Good thing too.

Stragedy:
--!!!-- This is important. Kuhn uses his avatar's shield to block
almost all of your attacks. You can break the shield and stun Magus
by shooting all the green ovals that rotate on the out side of his
shield. Basicly they'll shatter,and when their all gone, the shield
will break you you will be able to land some slashes to inflict some
major damage.

-----------------------------------

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
----------------
I here by say that this my FAVORITE CG movie in this game, AND almost
the BEST I've seen in the entire series of all the games (old and new).
There's only a handful of other scenes that can compare to this story event.
When I first watched this I almost cried.......almost. But none the less it
teaches a truly great lesson about power and the responsibilities of having
it. Anyway, enjoy the movies. They really are awesome.
----------------
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finishes all the scenes then come back and read.


-------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- Roar of the Beast
Short Version/Main points: Yeah Haseo looses control of his Avatar, and
Skeith
decides to have a heyday. At this point Haseo starts freaking out cause
Skaeith
it seriously kicking Kuhn's @$$.
----------------------------------
You see some scenes where Kuhn talk to Haseo.
--------------------------------
Movie- Magus' Death
Short Version/Main points: That's right Kuhn is dead, and Magus is destroyed
when Skeith Data Drains Kuhn's Avatar.
----------------------------------

Actually Kuhn is alright. See apperentally each Avatar has a Special ability,
Kuhn's avatar can generate all sorts of data, So kuhn made a look-alike of
his own Avatar and that is what Skeith ACTUALLY Data Drained. Which means
Kuhn's Avatar is fine and so is Kuhn. This whole thing makes Haseo realize
just how dangerous avatars are and so FINIALLY Haseo is less of an @$$Hole
and takes one more step toward becoming the coolest and most bad @$$ hero
ever seen in the .Hack series. To be honest one could almost describe his
new attatude as almost positive. Cheers!
When it's all said and done with, log-out.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------

Head over to Raven.

As you enter you see some scenes. Pi and Haseo finially kiss and make
up. lol. Kuhn is as out going as ever, must be all those Women he like
to flirt with, he never has to put up with any of them in real life.
=P Just kidding. No, other then his questionable habits he really is a
cool guy. Anyway as you watch Yata will give Haseo a new assignment. Yata
wants Haseo to have a talk with Endrance because pratically nothing is
known about him.
Hey, don't forget, there is a Avatar battle Simulator at the Serpent
of Lore terminal. If you beat the pratice battles you can earn some
extra back grounds for the desktop.

Anyway, You only have the Championship match, so time to finish what you
started. Get your normal party together and head for another batch of
training. For the next round I suggest
having everyone at level 47: Not too high but not too weak either.

By this time you should be ready to go for sure.
Also, Now would be a good time to try and find those Beginner Texts from
Henko and Corporal Yano. You should gain your the last of your Arts at
wepons level 7. You probably wont be able to reach that weapon level but
trying doesn't hurt. When you're all ready head for the Title match at
Lumina Cloth, it's time to finish what
we started.

Save and then time to head off for the Arena and the Title Match

Register for the Fight at the counter and get ready to rock.

----------------------------
---------20) Tourtament: Title Match--------------
----------------------------
-Party:Haseo (47),Atoli(47),Silabus(47)
-Opponets: Endrance (45),(None),(None)
-Before the fight advice:

As you enter you'll see some scenes with Ovan. You find out that Haseo
was in Ovan's guild: The Twlight Brigade. Zelkova mentions that he is
now extreemly intrested in Haseo now....hehehe. And of course Zelkova
would be I mean if you knew what I know about Zelkova you might understand.
Also the .Hack Vertrans know what I'm talking about. I mean the character
that Zelkova used to be had a reputation for poping in here and there and
always being around when something big went down. (At this point its only
a rumor and hasn't been totaly confirmed, but it makes alot of sence
considering the evidence)

Just hack away. Endrance is a extreemly quick fighter, but you can be
faster. Let Silabus hack away at him and when he attempts to use the Arts,
just counter attack.

Good luck and see you on the other side.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Macha
My Level: 47
Enemy Attacks:

Normal shot- he'll throw two sets of disks at you, dash to avoid. They're
fast,so be quick.
Normal Slash- When he charges you dodge to the side then shoot to stun Macha.

Bolt of Love- Endrance unleashes several Rose like flowers, they'll come near
you and fire
a laser type shot at you. You can defend by destroying the flowers when they
get close.

Seductive Voice- He attacks with sound waves, just keep dashing to the side
and
you'll be fine.

Bewitching wind- Endrance surounds Macha with parts of roses, be careful.


This
is one of the more dangerous attacks. You can't even hit macha with a shot:
Macha will raise up in the air a bit more and when it does it will charge you
right afterward. BE CAREFUL, you have to be quick and dash out of the way
fast.
This is also a great openign to stun.

Data Drain- Endrance will go nuts in terms of Data Drain. So I hope you got
your Data Drain defence stradgey down-> Two button smashing.

Stragedy:
--!!!-- Macha is very fast and you'll have to be on your toes to dodge .
The best oppertunity to stun Macha is when Endrance charges you, dodge to the
side and while Macha's back is turned fire away. You should be able to stun;
then move in fast to land some slashes.

when Macha protect breaks, DD his but.

When the fight ends MAKE SURE to listen to what Endrance says as his cat
dissapears. He says one word, and it's all that the fans of the older games
will know exactly who Endrance is from the old games. AND YES, this
character connection is in fact confirmed.
-----------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- "She" Dissappers
Short Version/Main points: He says just one word: "Mia". And for the
vetrans, there is only one character that Was very close to Mia.
That explains why he has Macha for an avatar, and
also why he's got the whole blue hair thing going on.
----------------------------------

Just go around and talk to everyone you see, make sure to talk to the people

I hate to say it but one of the people is Piros, and yeah he is......talk to
him. He's On the dock farest out, and when I said he was gay, I ment it.

So anyway, when you talk to Everyone, go looking for Atoli, she in the
pavilion out off of the dinner area.

You see some scenes with Atoli and Ovan..


Very sad, Ovan is a Bast@*d.

looks like you need to go chase after her and find out what the crap is
going on. And yes Atoli is a possible Avatar user. Yata found that out when
Haseo used Skeith for the first time on the Pkers. Also, you may or may not
remember there was one other person who saw Haseo use the Avatar. hehehe,
if you're not sure then look it up in the movies from your desktop.
----------------------------------

You'll also see some scenes with Ovan and Yata talking.

Just level up, gain back some cash you spent of equipment and what not.
Also, try and gain your 4th Arts. But when it's all said and done,
head back to town.

Ok At this point in the game there's a pile of quests to do at the quest


shop. But, there's no sense in doing them now because you'll have lots of
time after you beat the game. So cheers. I'll cover all of them in the
Post-Game section that way it makes things easier and more enjoyable,
and of Course the game's hidden quest. And you Can't do that one till you
beat the game anyway.

If you need to go out again and gain the last level or two then do so now.

At this time I will cover only one of the quest you can do at the quest shop.
The reason for this is that Haseo will eventually get his 'ultimate'
weapon for the game. It's not really the ultimate weapon in the sence
that it's not one of the lost weapons that really are the ultimate weapons
that you can get in the second game ; but it's a close as you'll get
for this game. Anyway get your party together and if you want those
Twin Blades (I mean they are prety cool and all.) then read the
following section. If not then Skip the next part and read where
the title for the Final Battle is.
------Ultimate Weapons for Haseo-------

Ok here is where I show the Pros and Cons between the best 2 sets
of twin blades you can get:

Name:Ripper's Blade:
Level: 45
Combo Style: Speed (extra set speed attacks added like the level 30 spin axe)
Physical Attack: +15
Elemental Bonus: None
Customize Bonus: None
Slots: Filled, can't be changed.
To get: Complete the Bounty hunter Test Quest,
then hunt down all 7 pkers on black list

Name: Spin Needle


Level: 40
Combo Style: Hold and Release
Physical Attack: +14
Elemental Bonus: +1 Wind (and added Elemental)
Costumize Bonus: Up to X 1.25
To Get: Will cost 120,000+ gp to Alchemise. To do that you must buy
6 level 35 Spin Axe, Alchmise them to get Spin Axe +5, use with
Level 40 Spin Needle to get Spin Needle +1 (levl 40). If you do this
5 times it will cost you 120,000+ gp, but you'll have the strongest
twin swords because of (X 1.25 Damage).
Slots: Fill in what you like.
To Get: Prize for toutament, then Alchmise 5 times with Spin Axe+5.

Honestly the Ripper's Blade is cheaper, easier to get, and is almost


just as good.

----------------------
Name: Broad Wings
Level: 43
Combo Style: Hold and Release
Physical Attack: +38
Elemental Bonus: None
Costumize Bonus: Up to X 1.25
To Get: Find on in a field, then Alchmise 5 more to it
to gain the (X 1.25 Damage) bonus.

-Honestly it's that simple.

----------------------------
Area Type:Field

My level:50

This is very very easy, just go around and kill everything at the alters.
When you're done head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
Finish the quest. Note that the bounty hunter dude will
not apear in the alley unil you log out and check your e-mail,then log back
in.
Make sure to talk to him before you start in on the next part.
Basicly you need to defeat the 7 'BlackList' Pkers. If you do that
you earn the best twin blades in the game. =)
Now then you'll be heading to an area. Theres one
that I know of that'll work well for what we're going to be doing.

It is fields with battle Area->(where you encounter other players


including pkers)

VERY close to the warp point where you enter the field at.
If you keep entering the battle areas you will eventually
come across all 7 of the pkers, defeat them all and you'll earn those twin
blades.

Here are the area KeyWords I used to do this and also the list of the Pkers
and their classes.
(The keywords should all have Beserker for the third word.)

Key words:
-- Counting, Red Plum's, Berserker

(or try)

Protected, Wraths, Berserker

This is probably the best place your gana find that'll work the best for you.

--Just repeat until you kill all 7, You may have to do this many times
because
when you enter a battle Area the battle will be with: A) Normal Monsters,
B)Normal Pker, Or C) Black List Pker.

-See the dude in the back alley in the Mercenary District


for your rewards, including one of the best sets of twin blades
upon completling the list.
--Also, this is a good place to do the Mecha Grunty thing. Use the warp point
to get to the other island, Mecha Grunty is close by. Kick the trees for
Chims.

-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
This is the last chance to level up and grab what you need befroe the finial
battle. When you are finially ready head for the Final Area.

-Alright then, Really there's nothing else I can do. You've got the best
chance now more then ever of beating the finial boss.

-IMPORTANT!!-There is one thing I should mention, I'm prety sure I


said this before somewhere in the game, but it is VERY important that you
teach
Repth to Pi. Just go to the magic store and buy the Repth scroll, use it
on Pi. Once done, set her to "Life" under strategy.

Ok then, on to the end of the game:

Ok as you enter the area you'll see some scenes and given the last
chance to turn back, well if you've done even half the things I told you
to you'll be fine.

As you enter the 'Other side' you'll watch some scenes and movies.
Be forewarned, this is a two part battle. Stop for now, and go play till
you're
ready to begin combat with the final boss, then pause and come back to read,
Good Luck:

--------------------------------
Movie- Old Enemy
Short Version/Main points: HE'S BACK!!!!! Hehehe, time to
settle things, but first a note from your friendly commentator; do you
find it intresting that Tri-Edge didn't even seem to notice that Haseo and
the
gang were even standing there until AFTER Haseo drew his swords and
prepared to attack?
----------------------------------

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: That's right, it's Tri-Edge, or I should say someone else maybe:
see if you importated data from the old games, What ever you named Kite in
the Old games will be his name in the new ones also. =)

My Level: 50
Enemy Attacks:

Normal Slash: He sends a blue slash of fire at you. Stay Behind him.

Area Attack: Tri-Edge will rise in the air and release a Sphere of blue fire.

Attack Skill- Not sure what it's called but he'll charge you or a party
member
and attack, then dissapear then reapear and attack again, he'll do this
several times.

Amazing Skill: Not sure what this is called either, but he'll pin one
character
in mid air, then he'll form 3 copies of tri-edge, together they'll attack the
party member many times, over-all doing a good amount of damage.
Stragedy: Stay behind him as much as possible. Hack away with the broad
sword, it works best. Keep health up by setting Pi to Healer, if you gave
her the Repth scroll she should at least have that spell to keep you and
kuhn alive. That's it good luck. Beat his @$$ then come back and read more.

Movie- Evolving Threat
Short Version/Main points: Yeah, he's not done yet. Enough said.
Anyway as you they start to fall though the floor, make sure to
look closly at the big black blob of black matter that looks alot like AIDA.
If you ask me I think it's important, tho I've been told it's not. But we
shall see in the next game.
----------------------------------

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Azure Flame god
My Level: EVER BIT OF 50
Enemy Attacks:

Normal shot- He fires a line of blue fire balls, move in between them to
avoid
damage.

Area Attack- He'll unload two large fire balls on you. They'll explode to
form
lots of little fire balls. As it starts to explode, start to move forward,
don't dash till the last second, and then only once. That way when the come
together at you, you'll pass through the open space in the center, leaving
you unharmed.

--Azure Tigger Claws-- This is the most annoying attack EVER, He'll throw two
sets of blades at you, but if you just stand still and combo slash at them,
you'll run out of slashs in the combo, and the last two times you need to
slash you won't be able to. Hence they'll hit you for decent damage and
that'll add up after awhile. There's only ONE way I know how to beat back
this attack.
1) as he throws the Spinning blades at you, wait for half a second then
dash forward at him and slash ONLY twice. This will knock the blades
to the side for just a second.
2) Then, VERY quickly dash to the right. As they start to come at you again,
you will be able to start with a new combo and finsh defelecting them.
This does not work all the time but I seem to have a 2/3 chance to pull it
off.

-Azure Wild Flower- When he pulls back to charge, DASH to the side and do it
fast, because if he grabs you, you will suffer a MASSIVE ball of energy to
the
face. You can only afford to take a hit like that once or twice before you'll
die. But there is one good thing: if he misses you it'll give to the chance
to
dash in quickly toward him and land some slashes for a small amount of damage.
Better then nothing. Also he'll probably try to do this several times in a
row.

Stragedy: That's right ladies and gentalmen, Skeith and the Azure Flame god
are
having a show down!!. Heck yeah, time to seriously kick @$$.

As he starts to shoot flame balls, keep firing into him with Skeith's normal
shot, try not to move side to side as much as possible, if you can get 4-5
direct hits in a row, it'll stun him and give you an opening to attack.
Just keep trying to stun him as he throws those normal fire balls at you.
Try not to move as much as possible. You can do it. This is you chance to do
massive damage on him, you need to do this as much as possible. Other wise
you
won't be able to inflict enough damage.

-He'll protect break sooner or later. Charg Data Drain and


dodge those fire balls!! When he stops, let him have it.

Movie- Final Battle
Short Version/Main points: Congrats you finished them game. Watch the events
and enjoy. I'll be seeing you later when the next game comes out May 9,07.

Till then: Enjoy my sections about the post game activites and everything you
need to do before playing Vol 2.
Later.
----------------------------------

--------------------------
-------------------End of Vol. 1 / Post Game-------------------
--------------------------

First off you'll get an e-mail from the game creators =)


----------------------------------
-E-mail- Uchiyamada : Congrats on finishing
Short version: Basicly he goes over the fact that as long as you keep
your saved game as "Clear Data", you'll be able to load your character's
items, money, equipment, levels, exp, est. when you start Vol. 2. This has
to be one of the biggest reasons I love .hack//
----------------------------------

There's a new 'Online Jack' for you to see, which is the last one for this
game. But don't worry you'll continue to follow Jack's story in the next
games. And yes, this one is rather good as well, not to mention cool.

----------------------------------
-News-
Short version: there's a boring articale about Methane, and also an
intresting artical about making a movie about "The World". But lastly
there is the finial episode for 'Online Jack' that is available for this game,
his story will continue in the next game.
Watch and enjoy.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
Forum Topic-
Short Version: Lots of stuff here. There's a sweet topic under
"Got Ganked". People talking about Haseo clearing out the black
list. Hehehe, sweet!

There's a comment on the Crimsion VS forum about how it may be possibly


opening soon. You actually get to play it in the second game. The other
forums
just say some other stuff, not too important.
----------------------------------
Anyway, At this point I'm going to cover the games hidden quest,
regulare quests from the Quest shop, and other odds and ends.
Before you start into the next section I should mention that if you
kept selling stuff at the guild shop, you can visit the central district
and collect the rather large sum of money that Gaspard needs to give you.
I got about 75,000gp for roughly 30+ itmes from training before the
finial boss. =D

Also, before you sart into Vol 2. I highly suggest collecting


Begginer's Text/Books from Corpral Yano and Henako. You should have
22 at least. And sincw we're talking about getting stuff for the next game.
I suggest you save up about $250,000. This will greatly help you when
starting
the next game.

Note- All quest must be started at the Quest shop in Mac Anu.
That is all but the Hidden quest but that would make it a Hidden

------- Essential,Idling,Old World -------

Area Type: Field
Area Level:9

Basicly you can chose to do things the easy way or the


hard way, If you waited like I did till the end of the
game to do all the extra quest: you can go right ahead
charge righ in. However if you are lower leveled and
need to take percatuions, then Go around the area and
find all 3 hills. they are more or less ina triangel
partern, you'll know you're in the right spot when a
cut scene is triggered. When all three itmes are placed
fight the Knuckleman. Really not much to say other the,
use that block buttom, and beat the crap out of him.
At level 50 I beat himin one hit with out using any of
the Dr's items. hehehe.

There's four alters with monsters and some random once here and there.
Clear out an island at a time and then move on.
AKA: run around and slaughter them all.
Finially the Lucky animal will appear, you can find him on the
first hill you came to when you entered the area, so you'll have to
back track a bit. but with the steam bike, it should be no trouble.
chase it down and kick it.
Good luck.

In this area you;ll meet enemies that look like blue tigers. They use a magic
watter attack spells. You can tell when you're going to be attacked by the
red
circles on the ground comming toward you. Make sure to hold the block button
or suffer a blast of magic in the face.

-This quest is really easy. All you have to do is keep on going through the
dungeon till you run into a Lucky animal. If you kick it, it will summon
King Chim Chim. The way you do this is: Kick the King three times in a row
then
run away. He'll jump at you and miss. Then, repeat till he's toast. You'll
auto. warp back to town.

What you're looking for is way way at the South-East corner of the field.
Bascily you can use your steam bike to get there, but then you HAVE to walk
back. And after picking up the Snow Stone, DO NOT get into a fight with
monsters or else you'll have to start over. Anyway the best way of doing it
is just staying along the edges of the shore line to avoid monsters.
Also If you wanted to do it a different way, just kill all the monsters
before you pick up the snow stone.

Anyway, once you get it make your way back to the only Platform in the field.
warp back town.

o =Warp point
[] =Is a room

Ok this map gives you an idea of what you need to do to get to the end
but I'll explain it in words.
*note*- dont use any warp points in the middle of a room until you get to the
FINIAL warp point in the center. The monsters in a room will ussaly be
guarding the door you need to go through to get to the correct warp point.
Keep that in mind.

1) head west, ignore the warp point in the middel of the room, head
righ to the one farthest to the left, use it.
2) head west gain and use the west most warp point. Now head north and
use the warp point.
3) head north again and use that warp point.
4) Now head east and use the east most warp point.
5)Go east again and use the east warp point.
6) Now head south and use the warp point.
7) Now head west again and use that warp point
8) You should now be in the center of the dungeon. use the warp point
in the center of the room. It will take you to the Beast statue.
9) MAKE SURE to Grab the beast statue treasure and warp back to town.

-As you arrive you see Alkaid with her firends,hehe. This is
going to get very intresting.

So anyway, the basic point of the mission is just to run around


and kill every crab looking thing in sight.

-You'll find a enemy party on the east side of the dungeon. one
fork below where you started from.
-The next part of enemy crabs is in the south most part of the
dungeon.
-After that move on to the section that forms a square, roughly
speaking.As you start to enter that part of the dungeon you'll see
a scene with Alkaid.
Afterward, Just keep going in circles around the square like path
until you kill them all. Then continue to keep going until you
see the last scene with Alkaid.

---------------- b)HIDDEN QUEST ---------------
---------------
========================================================

Also Known as the Abyss Quest.


This quest starts with a topic on the Board.
Many people from the older games may or may not remember the bonus
dungeons. They ussally involved warping to an area, getting through a
dungeon and then finially beating a finial boss. This was done after
the game was completed and could only be done then. I remember some
of those old bosses, and all of them were 100X harder to beat then
anything that's been thrown at me in this game....except for maybe
the Azure Flame god....maybe.

This time around the game creators have included a new type of
bonus mission. Really it's almost more of a side plot then an
actual bonus dungeon. But none the less, I found it enjoyable.

You may remember near the begining of the game that there was a topic
on the Bords about a chest that wouldn't open.

----------------------------------
Forum Topic- Anyone Opening chests?
Short Version: Scroll
to the bottom of the page where you read the last comment that is marked
with an ! mark. If you press X you can reply to the post. Make sure to
reply: "Area Word"
----------------------------------

Anyway, you need to log-in and form a party with Pi, and Kuhn. They're
the strongest of your party members at the moment and will more
then likly give you the best chance of sucess.

(I suggest taking Pi and Kuhn on this one. And I
should mention, be ready for a serious boss battle.)

---------Endless,Courpe's, March--------------
----------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Cave
Area Level:47
Party: Haseo,Pi, Kuhn
My Level: 50

This dungeon is a bit bigger and harder to deal with, no more


easy straight shot dungeons. Use Fairy Orbs and make your way though the
dungeon. I should note that the enemies here are all like the undead you
faught before. Good luck.

As you get near the end of the Dungeon, they will transport you and
your party to the Lost Grounds.

That's when you meet him:

---------------------
!!!!Boss: Cernunnos

This guy is Bad @$$.


He can poision you, and hit you so hard it'll send you flying though
the air. Anyway, just use your broad sword and pound the crap out of him.
As long as Pi is set to healing, you should be just fine. If you happen
to get enough Moral to do an Awakening, it'll probably be so far into the
battle that you'll just finish him off with that.
Good luck.
---------------------

When it's all said and done you get the Black Armor and 5000gp.
The Black Armor it has some prety good stats, but really
it's customization material isn't all that great. Although
it has it's bonuses, you lose alot of SP when using the armor.

Watch the scenes and laugh.

When you report in you get the folloing:


Word of Vigor
Word of Spirit
Text of Power

Congrats you have now finished all the quests. YAY!

=================================================
============= End of Hidden Quest ===========
=================================================

Now, wasn't that fun?


Well ladies and gentle men, it is time for me say good bye. Yes that's right,
I must go now for my task is now done. However I will leave you the following
sections on the last of the odds and ends to be taken care of. Please make
sure
to read them as I'm sure they can help you greatly. Also, if you intend to
continue playing the rest of the games, I highly suggest you look for my
section on the Dopplerganger as the prizes for defeating him are really
a nice perk to look forward to for the next game. Anyway, I'll leave my
finial parting comments near to the credits.

---------------
---------------- c)Doppleganger---------------
---------------

This is just a quick section for the Doppleganger: What is it?


Why should I care? What's in it for me? Est.

The Doppleganger is a rare monster that looks like an evil version of Haseo.
This monster is very strong and is ALWAYS 8 levels higher then you. Even if
you reach the Level 50 cap he will still be 8 levels high then you (levl 58).

Now before you start to pea your pants or the oppisite and you think you can
take him. I should tell you that he is by far the HARDEST monster to beat.
BUT he can be beaten.

To find him you should follow this stragedy:

Go to an open Field area. Kill enough monsters to fill your Moral Guage, save
the Awankening. Stand still and do nothing for about 10 minutes, give or
take some.

You will start to see a red arrow much like the ones that show where an enemy
party of monsters are. However, this arrow points to Doppleganger. It's rare,
but after ten minutes if he still hasn't shown up, begin to walk around the
field until you find him. I highly suggest removing all monsters from the
field
while doing this.

You'll know it's him when the edges of the screne turn red and
the creepy music starts playing in the back ground.

Here's how I beat him, I got this suggestion off of Zer0. So credit to him.

I suprised attacked him then:


After I built up the moral guage I used Beast Awakening on him and beat the
poop
out of him, then I just finished him off. IF all else fails, build the moral
guage back up and let him have it again.

!!!!- What ever you do, DO NOT let him attack you while engaged in a
fight with normal Monsters. He can walk into a battle area then you'd be dead.

It took me like 20 minutes to track him down and kill him. Anyway, thats how
I
do it.
Good luck.

Reason for doing this?


Because if you beat him you get a key item called the "Own King."
And in the next game you can get level 50 weapons that are as good
as level 100 weapons. That's why, also you'll have Bragging rights, =)

---------------- d)Books of 1000 ---------------
---------------
=============================================================================
The following section WAS NOT written by myself but was actually done by a
group of people from the forums at www.dothackers.net ; This section of
Zer0's
guide is how I was able to complete the books myself, So I thought it would
be fitting if I promoted their guide by including the section I used when I
played the games for myself.

Realize that I did in fact get permission to use this section in my guide,
and
I will give credit where credit is due.
(See bottom of this section for credits)

-------------------------
--However I will mention one thing, you don't have to get 100% of all these
itmes or monsters, you just have to get close enough to get the rank to max
out. AKA Get close enough but it doesn't have to be 100% done to get the
desired effect.
=============================================================================

Credits for Books of 1000 section

Credits are from Zer0's Rebirth FAQ

d5t - For creating dothackers.net, the place that let me know .hack//G.U.
even
existed.

Everyone on the dothackers.net forums - For all their work in this guide,
they
deserve just as much credit as I do.

This guide is written and compiled by Zer0. This is not a sole work of just
Zer0 though, by any stretch of the imagination. Many people from the
dothackers.net forums helped me write this guide. Their forum is so awesome,
I came up with this idea November 1st, and a couple hours later, I already

---------------- Frequently Asked Questions ---------------
-----------------------------

Being that this IS a FAQS/ Walktrough guide I thought that after geting
several e-mails I would put together a little Q and A section to put into
my guides from the series. In here you'll find all the questions that have
come up from the e-mails I've gotten from people. I really enjoy doing
what I can to give you good info. and I love hearing from everyone.
(Even if it's just to tell me what you thought of the guide/guides)
So I hope this might give you all some good advice.

--------------------------------------------
-- 1)Technical/Game Play/Story Line Questions
--------------------------------------------

-----
--- 1)Questions for All 3 Games :
-----

-1) Can't stop Sp Draining


Q: My SP goes down by one like every second and I can't make it stop! It only
does it when I'm in a field or dungeon, not a town. Can you tell me what I'm
supposed to do??

A:If it keeps happening over and over again no matter what; my guess is that
you should check your armor Materials. You know, the items you use to
customize armor? Check it. My guess is that you have an item called
Spirt Tree Bud.
That item (Armor Material) has an intresting affect: It will decrease
your skill points over time but the benifiet is that it will increase
Haseo's stats as the Sp is consumed.

-2) How to get Keywords


Q:I want to ask you how to get (Blank) area words?

A: There are only three ways to get keywords. Some are


more common then others. 1-you will get keywords from Story line events.
2- you can get keywords from topics on the Forums and Official Forums, you
can only get certian ones this way. 3- lastly you will get key words as
rewards for getting B, A,or S rankings when leaving an area. These are
random and tend to be harder to get. Just try to do well everytime you
go to an area and you should be albe to earn alot of them.

-3) Job Extensions


Q: When can Haseo start using other weapons besides dual swords? And
How do I unlock them?

A: Ok. A Common Question for rookies to the series.


These are the weapons Haseo can use:
-Twin Swords- Default weapon.
-Broad Sword- Job Extension right before 1st round of the Demon Palace
tounament.
-Scythe- Job Extension near the begining of Vol 2.
-Dual Guns- Ahhhhh not aloud to say how he got it, but
basicly it's near the middle/end of Vol 3.
-4) Books of 1000
Q:Can I complete the missing things from the Book of 1000 from vol 1 in vol
2?

A: Yes, to some extent. See 99% of the books can be done in any of the
volumes. However, Quest Champaigns is where the problem is. You get
special rewards for doing the Champaigns: Special Armor, Accessories, and
once
in awhile Weapoms. The problem is that ALL Champaigns from the quests in vol
1
end(or become unavaible) at the begining of vol 2. And ALL Champaigns from
Vol2
end at the Begining of Vol 3. So you lose the chance to get those items. The
best thing to do is just max the limit on the book for item collection before
you play the next volume. The only other thing I can think of is that you
should complete the Hidden quests in each game and get the doppleganger
weapons in vol 2.

------
--- 2)Questions for Vol 1 :
------

-1) Bounty Hunter/Ripper's Blades


Q:How do you get the Ripper blades?

A: First off the bounty hunter quest becomes avalible as the story progresses.
It's called "Hunter's Test". Once you clear this quest you can't start the
Champaign. You need to log-out and then log back in before you can find the
NPC in the back ally of Mac Anu in the mercenary district. For more info. see
the Quest section of my guide for Vol 1.

-----
--- 3)Questions for Vol 2 :
-----

-1) Doppleganger's weapons


Q:I had a problem with doppleganger. I was level 100 and had the key item
"own king" from vol. 1 and I was able to defeat him but he just gave me
the two weapons (dual sword and broad) and only one key item.
Could please tell me why I couldn't get the scythe and the other key item?

A: It's really quit simple. The answer is: Go beat him again.
Yes that is right. You need to defeat him twice (2 times)
in order to get all three weapons and the both key items.

-2) Crimson VS
Q:I was wondering if you could tell me how to actvate crimson vs.?

A: Simple. It becomes avalible near the begining of Vol. 2. Just progress the
story line.

-3) Divine Awakening


Q:Does affection hav something to do with the Divine Awakewnig? how's it
work?

A: Yes, it does affect it: When you use Divine Awakening the little marker
starts to scroll across the bottom of the screne. Obviously if you get
it closer to the middle you'll do more damage. There are 3 'Perfect" marks
in the middle of the bar. By Increasing your party member's affection, those
three 'perfect' marks become wider and therefore easier to hit. Therefore
giving you a better chance to do mroe damage.

-4) Password from Salvador Aihara


Q:When you go to the rumors board and news section you hear some stuff about
Salvador Aihara and that he plays the World. After an annoying chase of
checking the rumor board and logging back in you meet him as his character
Kazubolo “The Last Hope” in Mac Anu’s back ally, where he tells you his
true identity as the famous news reporter, and tells you to keep quiet if
he gives you the Wallpaper and Password: Nurse Carnival. SOOOO…I guess my
question is, what is the purpose of the password: Nurse Carnival? I know its
not area words cause I checked all 3 sections.

A:That topic has been discussed several times on the dothackers.net boards.
See we have the privledge of having a few ppl who visit those Forums who
are from Japan and speak english, they've been able to answer several
questions for us. And as far as any of us can tell the password is useless.
However, I've read in some of the interviews with the game creators that
they are putting bonus material in the GU games just for the North American
versions of the games. So it may or may not have something to do with bonus
stuff in vol. 3. But it doesnt seem too likly. If I hear anything I'll put
it in my guide for vol 3.
For now dont worry about it becuase it appears as if the password is
worthless.

------
--- 4)Questions for vol 3 :
------

1)Final Boss for the Series


Q: Is Ovan the final boss in vol. 3 , if he is not then who?

A: No, Ovan is not the Final Boss for Vol 3. Although I can see where
you might think that. I mean Corbenick was the final boss of the original
series. But No, The final boss for Vol 3 is bigger, badder, and
generally a whole lot worse the Corbenik (Ovan).
Who the last boss is exactly, well lets just say that he was a major
enemy from the original series.
2) Last Hidden Quest
Q: Is there hidden quest in vol. 3 and who is the boss ?

A: Yes there is a Hidden Quest for vol 3. And it's one Haseo has done before.
(aka he did it before the events of //Rebirth, during //ROOTS, Look around on
the rumor's boards and see if you can figure it out)
And, No: There isn't JUST 1 Boss. Instead there are: 17 normal field bosses
that are stronger then normal, 2 semi-hard bosses that mimick the hidden
quests
from the other games, and One Finial show down with a truly rediclous monster.

3)Hardest Avatar Battle


Q: What is the hardest avatar battle and the hardest boss you foughtin
all 3 volumes ?

A: Well, that's a hard question. See the vast majority of the Avatar battles
don't HAVE to be tough. Reason being that you can just go out and level up;
which in turn boosts Skeith's stats hence making the avatar battles easier.
So really all of the avatar battle COULD be tough, but they don't have to be.

But if I had to chose one battle I'd say Azure Flame god. The reason is that
even at the level 50 cap, the Azure Flame god is still a pretty hard battle.
I mean it's fast paced, and it's really hard to avoid all the attacks.

----------------------------I) Introduction to Guide------------------------
------------------
Welcome back everyone. Glad to see you found your way to my next guide in the
G.U. Series. I'm very sorry that it's taken me this long to write the next
guide. A lot has been happening this summer and with the completion of my
last
guide I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to attempt a second one. Yet here I am
going at it yet again. Also, I wanted to thank you all for sending me e-mails
saying you liked the guide for Rebirth. I only hope to be able to deliver a
guide just as good if not better. Also I wanted to say that I know now for
sure that I like .hack// GU better the Finial Fantasy XII. But before you go
to tear my head off here is my reason: FF XII had better graphics and better
areas to explore. The game is to be commended on the fact they made it so
huge
and yet I always found myself marveling over how beautiful the game looked.
Still: .hack//GU beats FF XII in terms of plot line. End of Discussion.

So anyway, after playing Vol 2 in the GU series I have to say that it will
not disappoint. It has a different feel to it then Rebirth but I can't really
say that one game was any better then the other. They both had strong points.

Well anyway, enough of me going on like a babbling fool; onto the guide.

----------
I'd like to re-cap quickly with what was said in the last guide and also
to add some new information to this guide so please read:

These are the major forms of Media in the .Hack// series:

Going in chronological order-

.Hack//SIGN (TV series),


.Hack//Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine (Games)
.Hack//Legend of the Twilight (TV)
.Hack//ROOTS (TV)
.Hack// G.U. Vol: 1 (Rebirth),2 (Reminisce),and 3 (Redemption)

(.Hack// vol. 3 Redemption is scheduled for release in the Fall of 07


for the US)

Also note that there are bonus disks that come with each of the four
original
games and one bonus disk (The Terminal Disk) that comes with the special
edition of .Hack//G.U.- Vol. 1-Rebirth. Also on the normal game disk of
Vol. 2-Reminisce there is included the first episode of .hack//Roots, which
can be watched through the game's desktop under the movie player.
----------
Moving along:

This guide will take you step-by-step through Vol. 2 Reminisce. I will
include the story events, Optional Quests, Hidden Quest, Books of 1000,
leveling up, boss fights, back ground information, and of course other little
odds and ends.

Just like in the last guide this walkthrough DOES contain spoilers, BUT again
like in the last guide I will mark them before hand and have you play ahead.
You will notice that my standard line is: "Watch the scenes, and then come
back and read more." This allows you to play through the game and still enjoy
all the surprises the story has to offer without spoiling it for yourself.
SO DON'T READ AHEAD!!!!

Next on the list is that I finally know how Converting data works. But
more on that in a moment. For now lets get started with this game.

------------------
-------------------------------- II) G.U. series ---------------------------
------------------

.Hack// G.U.

--------------------B) Vol. 2- Reminisce --------------------------


--- Game info.
Game length: Moderate
Average Game time: 30 hours (25-40 hours)
Difficulty: Medium

----Over View---
--Gameplay: 9/10- Nothing's perfect but I really enjoyed the combat in this
volume. It felt like you were almost playing a different game instead of the
same game with a continued story line.
--Music: 10/10- It fits perfectly, and I mean Perfectly.
--Graphics: 9/10 - granted it can't compare to some
Final Fantasy CG movies, but it's the next best thing.
--Voice Acting: 9/10 - only on rare occasions did I
think it might have been better, but even then not by much.
--Replay Value: 9/10- Replay value is pretty good once you beat
the second game; there is a good amount to do.
--Story Line: 10/10- Really this one is an odd ball of the whole
series. For some reason it had a very 'different' feel to the story. It
wasn't bad, just different. But still very enjoyable.

Overall rating: 9/10 - I personally think it ties place with vol. 1


in the overall ranking of how good the game is. Both have strengths
and weaknesses but still: Great game play, amazing music, great
graphics, and a story worthy to be called .Hack// .

--- Getting started-


Alright. First things first.

-------People Converting from Vol. 1 Rebirth.--------------

Those of us who went and bought the first game,


you will be glad to know that you will indeed keep the following things from
the last game: Items, EXP, party list, equipment, money, Guild Rank,
affection
rating, and lots of other stuff. As long as you have the cleared data
from the first game you can keep all that stuff mentioned above. For now read
on and I'll walk you through getting your data converted.

Oh by the way. I should mention somthing that


could really help you when getting started in the vol. 2. As you may remember
from my first guide. I noted that Corporal Yano and Henko ussally had items
for trade. These items are called Beginner's Text and Beginner's Book.
They raise your skill level for a weapon by 50%. Use two of them in a row
and you've gained yourself a one Skill level. Well, after I beat vol. 1
I had alot of time on my hands waiting for the second game to come out. So
I took the time to get as many Begginer's Texts/Books as I possibly could.
The reason is that once you start the second game you can get all your arts
right off the bat. As long as you raised your skill level to the max, which
is skill level 10 for vol 1. This should work well for you. So here's a list
of the arts and what Level you get them at.

-Weapon type---:------- Arts-----:-Skill level--

Duel Swords : Whirlwind : 11


: Chaotic Strike : 14
Broad Sword: : Tiger Strike : 12
: Shell Breaker : 15

Scythe: : Heavenly wheel : 16


------------------------------------------------

See when you get you next Job Extension your skill level of your Scythe will
be equal to your lowest level between your Broad Sword and Dual swords. So
you
see it's possible to get all your arts right off the bat. All you need to do
is have 22 total Begginer's Text/Books to get all your arts right from the
beggining of the game. So if you decided to play the game again or if you
really really want those arts (like I ussally do) Take out vol. 2 and go
play Rebirth for awhile and aquire those items you need. And as a side note;
I suggest you have around 200,000GP when you start into Vol. 2 as it will
help
you buy all the new equipment,items,Upgrades, and spells.
But that's just me.

-------People starting a new game from scratch.-------------

Well, for you who are starting new; this is going kind of suck.
When you start a new game you will be given a certain amount of stuff
to help you out, but honestly you got your work cut out for you. See,
people converting had the chance to earn extra money, level up,
and do extra stuff before they started into the this game. You on the
other hand won't have that opportunity. Here's a list of stats for
when you start a new game:

Haseo:
-Level 40
-Skill level: TwinSword-10, BroadSword-10

-Twin swords: Level 40 Poison Needle


-Broad Sword: Level 32 Flame sword
-Armor: Level 35 Vigil Jiongjia
-Accessory: Level 40 simple watch

-Items: Healing serum x15, sprite drop x10,Revival Medicine x5,


Health Scroolx2.

-Money: 5,000 GP

Honestly I don't know what to tell you other then good luck.
You're going to need it.
------------------------------------------------------------

As you put in the disk take time to watch the opening movie play before you
get to the main menu. Don't skip it. It's just as sweet as the last one
if not better.

As the main menu comes up notice that you no longer have the Convert Option.
Hmm, interesting no? Go ahead and start a new game. If you beat Vol. 1 and
have
the data on the same memory card you will get a message that reads as
follows:

"You can begin Vol. 2 Reminisce by converting clear Data from Vol. 1 Rebirth.
Begin game by converting clear data?"

Obviously you want to select "yes" because otherwise you'll waste all the
work
you did in the last game.

You will be asked to chose the save file to start a new game with.

Once you do that you will get another message:


"You will recive a bonus for converting clear data from Vol. 1 Rebirth.
If your inventory is full items will be stored in you guild storage."

Sweet! Not only do you get to keep your stuff from the last game but they
give you a double reward for just beating the last game.

Here is the list of what you get: Strange Coffeex3,Fairy Rainx3,Fairy dropx10,
Healing stormx3,healing potionx10, and 5,000 GP. And last but not least:
a movie added to your desktop Movie player.

So anywho. Watch and enjoy the opening scenes, and there is a large amount
of them. So kick back and relax. Feel free to read ahead AFTER you finish all
those scenes. I mean like ALL of them. Come back when they turn you lose in
Mac Anu.

--------------------------
---------------------- Seeds of Chaos ------------------
--------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- 00-Prologue
Short Version/Main points: You see Sakubo Standing over the lake at the
lost grounds lookign down into the water. And underneather there is a figure
froze in ice and bound by chains. Who looks alot like Saku's master En.
Also notice how Saku suddenly gets that red glowing outline near the end
of the movie. Intresting.
--------------------------------

Anyway, the following scenes have a nariator go over the events in Vol. 1
Rebirth. This over view before the game starts is a tradition of the .hack
games and is yet another reason why I love the games so much.
Listen. watch. Enjoy.

--------------------------------
Movie- 01-Tragedy,Again
Short Version/Main points: It shows Kuhn taking Atoli in Magus' arms
and flying quickly to return to "The World."
--------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- 02-After Affects
Short Version/Main points: It show's Atoli's
hand breaking apart. And then she starts screaming and
holding her head like she's going nuts. Creepy.
--------------------------------

Anyway, after all the sceens:

Wow, What a mind job, hu? Everyone's caught INSIDE the game, that's crazy
awesome to think about, viewing the game dirrectly through your mind. Creepy.

So, looks like you got to figure what the heck is going on.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Before you go running off check in at Canard's @home. Talk to Gaspard who
tells you he's really freaked out and scared. Also if you talk to Death
Grunty
about the Books of 1000, you're rankings should go up ALOT. I maxed out
books 5 and 6 and got to the 4th ranking on book 2 and 8.
Also, If you followed my advice and got a bunch of Begginers Texts/Books,
do not use them right now, save them for a little bit later. I'll let you
know when is a good time. For now just continue on with the story.

Time to check your map and head for all the blue circles. Also I'd like to
note that you can use your steam bike, but I should forwarn you, They did an
overhaul on the engine and the bike is now faster and turns sharper.
The reason is that soon you'll be able to do Bike Missions which take the
place of the original game's grunty races. So get on your bike and go racing
around Mac Anu to talk with players.

Once you do all of that you report back to Raven. And you run into Sakaki.
You know for some reason Haseo can manage to be generally nice to everyone
except Sakaki and to Atoli when Sakaki comes up in a converstation.

Well whatever. At this point just watch the scenes and go with the flow.
Eventually you get some intresting information on the Avatars and what not,
and you'll be asked to go to Moon Tree and talk to the guild about getting
help to shearch the AIDA areas......just peachy. Save at the Save Shop and
then head to the chaos Gate. Put Pi in your party and head out.

----------------------------
-------1)Setting,Eterinty's,Night Moon-------
----------------------------
Area Type: LandScape
Area Level: (none)
Party: Haseo,Pi,none
My Level: 50

well now, as you see the scenes unfold, watch first then continue to read.

As you can see Sakaki has been doing some nosing around and somehow managed
to find out the real purpose of Raven and also has come across AIDA. That's
very very intresting considering that Under the most liky circumstances
there's no way that a normal player like Sakaki could have found out about
AIDA. Which beggs the question: Did someone tell him about it?
But then the list of people that actually know about AIDA is a very very
short
list. But I'll leave it to you to make guesses.

At any rate you need to investigate some areas that have AIDA signals comming
from them. So time to head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Place Kuhn in your Party and get ready to head out to an area.

----------------------------
-------2)Galloping,Subtle,Desert -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Highlands
Area Level: 43
Party:Haseo,Pi, Kuhn
My Level: 50

Obviously due to the low level of the area you're proabaly going to pwn
any enemies. Also Note that this is infact a new type of area, Highlands.
As you enter the area you see some scenes with some Pkers. They're prety
easy to kill at level 50; if you started a new game from scratch then they'll
be a challenge. *shrugs* good pratice.
Anywho, after the pkers are knocked out cold, time to move on. There is a
tree
near by that you can kick for chims if you're low. Use 5 chims to power the
warp point and continue onto the main area of the field.

As you warp to the main part of the field you'll notice that the area is FULL
of Pkers. hehehehehehe......you know what this means?

THE TERROR OF DEATH IS BACK BABY!!!!! Time to do us some PKKing.

Run around and have fun killing all the Kestral pkers.I should note quickly
that some stuff has changed with the combat system in Vol. 2: The attacks
on your Twin Swords has moved improved from a 4 attack combo to a 7 attack
combo. Also your Broad Sword has 3 Charge bars for your area attack, and when
you release the attack, Shock waves move in a line away from you toward your
enemy. Charge up the whole way for more shock waves. Also if you fight a few
pkers you should gain a Skill level, if you use Dual swords you will gain
a new Arts at skill level 11 which you may chose to add to your skill trigger.
Other then that it's pretty much bussiness as ussual.

As for the rest of the area; it's all pretty straight forward. Just move
along
the area till you get to the next warp point, use it and do the same thing
over again. And Make sure to grab the symbol fragments. Also after you warp
the second time you'll encounter AIDA. So prepare for an avatar fight.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Anna>
My Level: 50
Enemy Attacks:
Algol Bullet- use Slash to defend
Algol Laser- Powerful attack, use Dash to avoid.
Normal shot- It will shoot little balls of energy at you. Dash to evade.

Unlike in the last game, this AIDA are so weak you don't even need to stun
it to be able to do enough damage to kill it. You can move in close and just
slash away. But if you find it's giving you trouble then do it the normal way.

Keep shooting it till it's stuned, get and close and slash away. Keep going
till it protect breaks.

When it protect breaks you'll have a timer that will count down from about 1
minute, the timers vary from Boss to Boss. You need to data drain it in that
time. Charge DD as you continue to watch the incomming enemy shots, dodge
them
and when AIDA pauses for a breif moment, release DD and fire away.
-----------------------------------

After you beat AIDA you get a message from Nala that you should come to the
Beast Temple. Grab the other two Symbols and do just that.
As you enter the Beast Temple Watch the scenes with Gabi and Ovan. Come
back to read when they're done.

Yes that's right. Yata was using the players to observe the reaction ADIA had
to all their intense feelings. But now that the Jig's up he'll have no choice
but to allow everyone to return to the regulare CC Corp sever. Still I know
Yata and who he was from the old games. I wonder if he didn't have a very
good
reason to do what he did. Also Being that I know who Yata is, who could Ovan
be? .....No seriosuly, I'm not sure it was ever confirmed that Ovan was a
character from the original games. Still, it makes me wonder.

However, for now the only thing to do is to head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Head for Raven.

When you get there more scenes.

Looks like you'll you need to head back to where you faced off with
Tri-Edge. You know I think it's intresting that this would be the same
day that 1) Haseo got crowned the Emporer, 2) that he fought and killed
Tri-edge, and 3) the same day everyone's been trapped on the AIDA sever.
hmmm...intresting.

At any rate time to head out, go to the chaos gate, save, and prepare.

Hidden,Forbidden,Bulwark

As you enter the area Pi will talk to you then you'll get a short lesson
on Sign Hacking, kinda replaces Gate Hacking from the old games. *shurgs*
sounds cool to me.

Just approch the sign and then.....DENIED! That's right, you don't have
enough
Data Seeds (replaced Virus cores from the old game). But before you start
reaching for the nearest spoon to gouge out you eyes in frustration.
Let me encourage you a bit. Collecting Data Seeds is NOT as bad as
collecting
Virus cores from the old games. Getting Data Seeds is ussally story related
and there for you will be given very specific areas to go to and very special
AIDA to get the D.S. from. this means that the number you need is smaller and
you don't have to go around Data Draining everything like crazy. So put down
the spoon or fork or knife, pick your controler back up and relax, this won't
be that bad. =P

Head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------

Save and head to the new area.

My Level: 51

For those of you without a fair orb, follow the passages left everytime
you come to a split until you find the way down to the next floor.
Also I want to say that there's been some changes to this type of dungeon.
Not sure exactly what it is, but something's different. Also the way that
monsters move around a room now instead of standing still is different.

At any rate, just keep moving.

Right before you head to the next floor you'll encounter AIDA.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Anna>
My Level: 51
Enemy Attacks:
Algol Bullet- use Slash to defend
Algol Laser- Powerful attack, use Dash to avoid.
Normal shot- It will shoot little balls of energy at you. Dash to evade.
Unlike in the last game, this AIDA are so weak you don't even need to stun
it to be able to do enough damage to kill it. You can move in close and just
slash away. But if you find it's giving you trouble then do it the normal way.

Keep shooting it till it's stuned, get and close and slash away. Keep going

time. Charge DD as you continue to watch the incomming enemy shots, dodge
them
and when AIDA pauses for a breif moment, release DD and fire away.
-----------------------------------

When done, just keep moving to the next floor.

On the next floor, just keep going forward, Find the warp point to take
you to the other section of the dungeon.

Once you warp it's all straight forward from here. Near the beast statue
you'll
encounter AIDA again. Use same stragedy as mentioned above.

When you defeat the second AIDA, Pi will mention that you have enough Data
seeds to continue. Well that was realitivly painless wasn't it? Since you're
close to the Beast Statue you might as well go there because that's your
closest Platform that would be your ticket back to town. Grab the beast
statue
treasure and head back.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Not to do but warp to the area and to the escape from this place.

"Ladies and gentemen your escape routes are here, here and here.
And if you get caught in an AIDA Sever.....well sucks to be you."

-------5)Hidden,Forbidden,Bulwark -------

Examine the Sign and hack away.

You see some scenes and then, uh oh. AIDA's gateKeeper. Peachy. This
AIDA is no push over. Unlike his cousins, this guy has a hard schell to crack
and has plenty of attack power.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Gate Keeper>
My Level: 51
Enemy Attacks:
Kobold Blast- Alot like the lesser AIDA, use Slash to defend
Algol Maser- Powerful attack,DON'T Dash. That will most likly get you shot.
what you want to do is just push the joy stick to the right. When the blast
goes off it should miss you entierly. Just make sure not to go too far right
or
you'll hit the secondry shot.

Normal shot- It will shoot little balls of energy at you. Dash to evade.

Unlike in the last game, this AIDA is no Push over. The best idea is while
it is shooting at you to return fire and to pound it with your own shots.
This
should stun it allowing you to land some slashes.

Keep shooting it till it's stuned, get and close in and slash away. Keep
going
till it protect breaks.

When it protect breaks you'll have a timer that will count down from about 1
minute, the timers vary from Boss to Boss. You need to data drain it in that
time. Charge DD as you continue to watch the incomming enemy shots, dodge
them
and when AIDA pauses for a breif moment, release DD and fire away.
-----------------------------------

After Word you'll get an extra key item called O-van01. Hmmmm...intresting.

Well now, here we find the Operation folder. And our way out. Watch all the
scenes, there are a number of them here. So enjoy. and Don't read ahead
till you're done watching.

--------------------------------
Movie- 03- Escape
Short Version/Main points: Shows everyone escaping the AIDA Sever.
Prety straight forward.

--------------------------------
Movie- 04-And there he was...
Short Version/Main points: Hehehe, yes laides and gentalmen they are BACK!
Orca of the Azure Sea and Bulmung of the Azure Sky. Again, like Tri-Edge
these guys are not controled by their original players. They're being
controled
by something else.......
And Tri-edge. He's back.....obviously.
--------------------------------

Well, after the close incounter with The Descendants, everyone seemed
to be able to make it back alright. And oddly enough the whole senerio seemed
to have only happend in a matter of minutes. Now that's what I call
impressive.
Just think how fast everyone's brain would have to work to be able to compact
several hours of relative time into just a few minutes. That is what I call
weird.

--------------------------
---------------------- The Path ------------------
--------------------------

------Desktop-

There's alot to do here. So first things first, Check your e-mails.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Atoli : My Voice
Short version: She says that her hand is paralyzed,and
She'd like to talk with you in Mac Anu.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Uchiyamada : Conversion Bonuses
Short version: Hehe, this has lots of good news.
Some you already knew, some you didn't.
First is that you got items and GP for converting your data.
That you knew, what you probably didn't know is that the movies
that were added to your desktop is the fist episode of .Hack//Roots which
I suggest you watch as it helps explain somethings about Haseo, Ovan, and
Shino that you probably just didn't know.
Last is the good stuff about the Doppelganger. If you beat it in the
last game and have the "OWN King" then what you do is go out and beat him
in This game. What will happen is that if you beat him twice. You will get
the Doppelganger's Weapons, and they are level 50 weapons that have stats
like level 100 wepaons and are the BEST weapons in the whole second
game. I'll cover how to get those in a bit, for now-> the other e-mails.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : Crimsion VS now open
Short version: That's right, you can now play Crimsion VS
from your desktop. It's not the greatest thing in the world but
I still found it enjoyable to try and master. Again I'll include my
stragey for beating it.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : "Upgrades"
Short version: It's self explainatory.
Just read and pay attention. I've already covered the important stuff.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : Champaign End
Short version: All the Champaigns have ended from the old
game, good news is you get to do them all over again! yay?
----------------------------------

Flip over to the News.

----------------------------------
-News- :
Short version: I'm sure you're Dieing to see
what's up with Salvador from good old Online Jack.
It's a very good episode, make sure to watch it.
Also some articels on DollSyndrome and some other stuff.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: Some pictures in the Apkallu. Some topics about
Crimsion VS and the sever incident. Basic stuff. Check the rumors
board for some old key words.
----------------------------------

Well now that's done there are three options, 1) go to your movie player
and scroll to the back and watch the first episode of .hack//Roots. It's
really
good. 2) Load up crimsion VS and try your hand at it. 3)Log-in when you're
all done.

----------------------------------
-"crimsion VS"-
Ok, this can be kinda confussing to start with. I'll do what I can to
explain it.

1) Battles run automaticlly. While you're off doing stuff in the game, the
Card battles run themselves. So really all you have to do is set everything
up before hand and let things run their course.

2) A Deck is the group of cards you battle with. The Deck is made up
of 4 cards total: 1 General Card, and 3 Junction Cards. Another way to
think of it is like this-> You're general card is the character you use to
fight with. And the Junction card gives that Character special skills they
need to fight and win a battle. Ok, so far so good right?

3) Each General (Character) Has a limit of Charisma. It's bascily how they
limit how strong a General card (Character) can be. See each of your Junction
Cards (Skills) cost a certian amount of Charisma. So in other words you can't
just take your 3 best Junction cards and give them to the same General Card
(character). The 3 junction cards have a cost ,and that cost has to be equal
to
or less then the total Charisma that General has.

4) If you still don't get the hang of things I suggest reading up on the
forums. There's alot of good info there. Also I highly suggest making a few
decks and then messing around with the Practice Battle. It'll give you a
better feel for how things work. Bellow I listed a good starting set up for
when you start into Crimsion VS. Good luck.

General Card: Silabus-Canard


Junction 1st- Rose Letters #077
Junction 2nd- The Trinity #030
Junction 3rd- Order Upheld #076

With this set up, you should gain a large amount of AP which is the unit
of damage given in the card battles. This will greatly increase you chances
to win battles. Make sure to register your deck for battle before you quit.
----------------------------------

About this time you should probably log-in. There's a new topic in the
offical forums. But not much to read, but it is intresting for what is there.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
Just head down to the Alchemy District for some scenes with Atoli. Come back
when they're all done.
So Haseo is finially starting to realize that having power is the same thing
as being powerless. I'd say he's coming one step closer to becoming a hero.
At any rate, log-out check some e-mails.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Yata : To all GU members
Short version: Looks Like Yata wants everyone
to meet at the Serpent of lore.
----------------------------------

Make sure to read the bottom e-mail first.

----------------------------------

Short version: Both e-mails are just about Atoli's condition

Short version: *dido above*
----------------------------------

Log-in

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Head for Raven, watch then come back when its done.

As the scenes end you see one of the CC Corp. big shot talking to Yata.
It seems that despite Yata generally being a pain, he's having trouble
keeping the big wigs of the company happy with what's been happening. You
know
this sounds alot like the first games. Makes you wonder if they've forgoten
everything that chain of events taught them. Well, anyway. Yata brings up a
good point. AIDA is staying within the boundries of 'the world' becuase it is
intrested in people. If the game shuts down, AIDA starts looking for other
things to keep it's self intrested. Many player from the old games will
recall
that when stuff from Inside 'The world' starts to go outside "The World' it
ussaly ends up with sh*t blowing up.

At any rate, you get a short mail from Silabus asking you to come to Canard.
After the scenes, log-out.
----------------------------------
-E-mail- Ovan : If you Wish
Short version: Ovan said he's willing to meet with you if you want.
He says he'd like to speak with you about what's been going on. Oh and for
future reference. Ovan does want to help Shino, never forget that. No matter
what.
----------------------------------

For now log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Again, it seems that the return to Hidden Forbidden HolyGround was to be


expected. I mean it IS one of the most important locations in the whole game.

Also, I want to mention that you now have key words for Arche Koeln Waterfall.
It's the meeting place Ovan met Haseo at the very beginning of the first game.
And, it just happens to be a place were another Tri-Edge Sign is located.

Log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------
Head over to the brand new town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Welcome friends to the new town. This place reminds me alot of the
Beta Server,Highland City, from the old games. Kinda the same concept.
Only ......cooler. Anywho, this will be your base of operations for the rest
of the game. So I'd take some time to explore. Granted this place isn't
nearly
as large as Mac Anu. But I still think it's prety cool. Not to mention the
cool
new @home. But before we get to that, head forward and open the gate, look
around at all the new shops. JUST LOOK, don't buy anything just yet. I'll let
you know what you need to buy and what is a waste of your money.

Head for Carnard's new @home. It's way in the back, use your map if you're
confused. Also, there is a bike shop right there near the entrance of the
Guild. If you did as I suggested you should have about 200,000GP. Go ahead
and
buy the best upgrades that are avalible. Here's a list of what I got for my
bike:

170 Engine- 25,000Gp


Yamane Armor-40,000Gp
Type 500 Muffler-24,000Gp
150 Tires-23,000Gp

Yes, I know thats rather a large amount, but look at the bright side, now
your chances of completeing the Bike missions have increased from None, to
Slim. And also, you won't have to pay for any of your other upgrades to your
bike, after this; all the upgrades come from prizes for doing bike trials.

Ok then, with that done head into the new Guild @home. Watch the scenes. If
you
bought the new 'tune ups', go ahead and put those on now.

Also I should mention that if you got the Ripper's Baldes from the last game.
You might want to get out some materies to customize a new set of twin blades.
The weapon shop has a set of level 51 blades that you'll need materials for.
And last but not least, if you followed my adivice and went out and aquired
a bunch of Begginers Texts/Books I would get those out of storage now too.
BUT DONT USE THEM. Not yet. I'll tell you when.

Afterward head back to town to check out the Quest shop.

Before you head out on your new quest, take some time to do shopping.

Buy/Sell:

Haseo-
weapons:Spin Ribs-level 51, Broad Guiren-Level 51
Armor:Rough Steel-lvl 51
Accessory: Any of the lvl 51

Silabus-
Weapon:Blade Luer-lvl 51
Armor:Loose Leather-lvl 51
Accessory:Any of the lvl 51

Gaspard-
Weapon: Magic Huawen-lvl 51
Armor:Sub Cape-lvl-51
Accessory:Any of the lvl 51

You may or may not be able to get all this. I was barly able to get all the
weapons and armor and had to skip the accessories for now. Also, don't forget
to customize the equipment and move the materials from the old equipemt to
the
new stuff you just bought. And if you where wondering, you can find Silabus
and
Gaspard by the Chaos Gate if you want to give them the new stuff you just
bought.

----
Important note: ALWAYS remeber to go under 'Customize' and move weapons,
armor, and accessories materials from your old equipment to your new
equipment. That way you dont have to buy new materials to customize your
new equipment. I know this is common sence, but I had to say it.
----

Anywho, now last thing, go to the Quest shop and Accept the new quest there.

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------


-----1)Steam Scientist's Test
----------------------------
------- 7)Airy,Engine's, waltz (Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 48
Party: Haseo,Silabus, Gaspard
My Level: 51

Apperentally in this quest you have two robots who have gone berserk.
You need to beat them in battle and get their memory back to the good
Doctor. He gave you 3 items that when placed on three differnt hills, will
lower the fighting abilities of the robots. Well, looks like we got some work
to do.

First, head to the area.

Baicily there are only three hills, use your steam bike to get around quickly.
Also, make sure to grab the various chests that are in the are. Other then
that, thee's not alot to say about it other then the fight. Just continue on
when you've planted all three.

--Oh yeah, one more thing. I know this is kind of an odd place to put this
but.
You may notice that the 'Speed' type of Broad sword isn't all that Speedy.
I've
noticed it is actually slower the the Hold and Release type of sword. But
there is a trick you can use to speed the combo up and make it less annoying
to use. When you go to attack Haseo will swing once. Then he will thrust the
sword at which point you smash the X botton to get as many hits as you can.
The problem is Haseo is slow to recover and set up for the next Attack combo.
So what you do is that as you come to the end of Smashing the X button after
the Thrust, Press the circle button quickly. He'll go into a guard, as soon
as he guards, let the button go and it sets you up faster for another combo.
Try it and see what I mean.

Rain and Cload:

Being that your level 51 and you just planted all three items, use your
twin swords and beat them to a pulp. When you're done they'll combine into
one big robot. Beat them again and you'll have completed the quest.

------------------- ------------------- -------------------

-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------
As you finish the quest you see Silabus and Gaspard say good bye. You also
see
a scene with Alkaid and Sirius. hmmm, I really like Alkaid. She's sweet, and
she'll be playing a bigger role in this game. hmm...

Afterward, not to do but log-out and check some e-mails.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : AIDA singnals comming from the Holy Palace
Short version: Haseo mentions that Alkaid might know something
about what's going on.

-E-mail- Silabus : Tuning up your bike
Short version: Silabus mentions that there is a quests that is related
to you steam bike. He also says that once you do that Quest you can then
do Steam bike missions. The rewards for those missions are in fact rare
bike parts. This is acctually worth doing and also the Quest related to this
has to be my favorite for the game.....I wont tell you why just yet.
----------------------------------

When your done, log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

As you log-in Haseo trys to talk with Alkaid. She cuts him off and says
she wants him to go on an adventure with her. She promply pushs the issue by
handing Haseo her member address.....Wait a second, her member adress?

WHAAOO!!!

That's awsome, you now have a former Emperor's member address, Sweet!
*Does a little victory dance*

Anyway, she gives you some key words....hmmm.

For now, form a party with Alkaid and Gaspard and then head into town.

I suggest stopping by the magic shop and Picking up the following scrolls for
Gaspard: Life scroll, Reflex scroll,Repeal Scroll, Vitality Scroll.

When you have them, head for the Chaos Gate. Before you leave make sure to
save, and use those new scrolls on Gaspard.

Ok, now we're set.

well then, now that your at the beasty statue, watch the scenes and enjoy.
and believe me there is a pretty good number of them.

When it's all done with, grab the treasure and head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

when you get back Haseo says he'll help Alkaid....wait a second. That
means we're going to have to fight through ANOTHER Tourtament!?

.......Great.

Don't worry, this time around won't be nearly as hard as last time.
Looks like you need to go register. Head for the Arena

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------

when you arrive, head to the Arena Counter and register for the Tounament.
This
is both good news and bad news. Good news is that because you are a Demon
Palace Emperor you will not have to earn your way into the rankings. The Bad
news is that you must give up the thrown of the Demon Palace in order to
challenge the Holy Palace.

But that's not really terribly bad news anyway. It's not like you would have
been able to keep your the title away way. I mean your level 51-53ish. As
soon
as another team would have challenged you for the Thrown you would have had
to give it up because your level is higher then allowed....but thats just a
guess.

At any rate, it's time to challenge the next batch of Arena rankers. So
finish
signing up for the tournament and watch the scenes that follow.

So anyway, I love how Haseo can just Tell when he's got new e-mails. He must
have special mental powers or something. hehe. So yeah, how about you got to
love Alkaid. I mean she was kinda a...... well brat in the first game, but I
got to tell you that I really like Alkaid's character. Honestly I think her
and Haseo should get together......but that's just me. Poor Haseo, so many
girls and only so much of him to share, lol.

Afterward not to do but log-out.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : Tournament Participation
Short version: For some reason they didn't get the message that you want to
take part in the tournament and they want you to go fill out some more paper
work at the Arena Counter....great.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Silabus : Have you Tried Crimsion VS
Short version: Just reminding you that the game is open now and ready to play.
speaking of which I'd say it's time to check how well you've done.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Crimson VS-
Short version: Check your rank, if you have more losses then
wins you need to redo how your deck is set up. Really its hard for
me to give you advice on card set ups becuase the more battles you win
the more cards you get through random selection. So until you have
pratically all the cards you can get, I really can't do much other
then give you general advice. So here goes:
-A) General cards that have high HP or high AP aren't always the best ones
to use. The best General Cards are ones with High Charisma and with avarage
HP and AP.
-B) Cards that add AP or HP onto you General's stats every round are the
best ones you can use.
-C) USE THE PRATICE BATTLE!! Toy around with it and figure out what
combinations of cards work and which ones don't.
-D) View the Battle log. It WILL teach you alot about how the battles run.
Make sure to note what Cards the enemy uses and how they use them.
Other then that I Won't be able to say alot for now. Good luck.
----------------------------------

Well..... Time to Log-in

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------

Watch some scenes with Pi. Then later,Head for the Arena Counter.
Do what you need to do there. Watch some more scenes. They're very...touching.
I'd say some of the peices of the plot are starting to fall in place. Also
looks like Atoli will be joining you on the Tournament team. Good thing too.
It would have been a pain without a Cleric for healing. And yet again Haseo
amazes me with his ability to tell that he has new e-mails.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Alkaid : you'd better invite me soon
Short version: She wants you to go on a quest with her.
Sounds fun.
----------------------------------

Some stuff in the news and Forums.

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: You'll find some advice about crimsion VS. It's good stuff,
I'd take time to read it. Also Some pics in the Apkallu.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-News- :
Short version: Some stuff about another online game.
Some stuff about 'real life' card games, and some other junk.
----------------------------------

Ok, time to log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------
Haseo mentions Alkaid wants to hang out for a bit. Well, lets head to Dol
Dana.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Now then. Go form a party with Alkaid and Gaspard. As you head into the towns
main square, make sure to visit Canard's shop now that you're based out of
Dol Dana. Gaspard should have some cash for you from selling items you should
have been giving him.....you were making sure to give him stuff to sell
right?
Well if you were smart,that cash will be helpful. Also I should mention.
Alkaid
have a very very very nice level 93 scythe. I HIGHLY recomend trading with
Alkaid for this weapon. And if you want to do that, do it soon. DO NOT wait.
=)

Well now, head for the quest shop and accept the new quest.

OH YEAH! I forgot to mention. For those of us .hack vetrans who survived the
pains of the last set of games. You will, of course, remember the Gold
Goblins
and their some what annoying games of tag they liked to play. Yes, I know
what your thinking, and yes they are back again. BUT! There's great news!
You face them in a quest this time. AND, it is really fun. See this quest
is the start of the Bike Missions. I love the creators of this game. See they
brought back two aspects of the old games and made them better then before by
combinding them together. 1) they brought back the Gold Goblins. and 2) they
replaced the grunty races with Bike Missions, both of which are FUN! .......
.......at least I think so, and that's saying quite a bit there.

So at any rate you can either chose to do the quest with Alkaid or chose
to do the Goblin Quest. I suggest you hold off on the Goblins for right now.
But don't worry, We WILL be comming back to finish that quest, and yes I will
include it in the main flow of the guide unlike how I did it in the last
game's
guide.

Go to the Quest shop and accept the quest then head out.

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------


-----2) The Cat Smiles Silently
----------------------------
------- 9)Standing, Calming, Western (Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type:Field
Area Level: 50
Party: Haseo,Alkaid, Gaspard.
My Level:53

As you enter the area you get pwned by the White Malice Cat. Which
kinda sucks. I mean you HP has been cut in half. So really the trick to
this area is not fighting as much as possible. Use your steam bike to
get around quickly. If you look at the map you will notice that the area
is set up in more or less a straight line. At the end you will see a hill
that does not have an alter on top, this hill is where the Malice cat is
located. Now go and get there. Also, you'll probably have to fight at least
the party of monsters guarding the hill.

When you get there get ready to kick. This thing is fast. Try to get it
cornered, and give it three kicks in a row. It will yield and you will
finish the quest and get a text of power.

------------------- ------------------- -------------------


------------------- -------------------

Afterward Alkaid will say good bye after calling Haseo a


"low life cheating B**tard." Got to love her.

For now, Log-out.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Atoli : To Canard
Short version: She mentions that it'd be a good idea to
let Silabus know that you are doing another Tournament and that
Alkaid will be taking his spot, also that you let the Emperor title
go.

-E-mail- CC Corp : Champaign Start

And Also a topic with some new key words.
----------------------------------

With that done, time to log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------
Invite atoli into your party then....
Head to the Guild's @home and watch some scenes take place.

Afterward you get an e-mail, you know what to do.....

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : 1st Tournament Fight
Short version: Yep, time to get things going.
----------------------------------

Check Crimson VS and then log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Add Alkaid and Atoli to your Parties. Now before you go running off
to the arena take a minute and think about this. Remember the last game?
I had you doing alot of something. It was very important.......

LEVELING UP!

That's right, I want you to take Atoli and Alkaid out and level up.
But before we do that. Remember all of those Begginer Texts/Books? well I
want you to get them out of storage and I want you to use them. The reason
I had you hold off was because I knew Atoli and Alkaid whould be joining you
in the arena, and so it only makes sence that you use those items with them
around as well. Thats way when you use the Beginner's Book, they will gain
skill levels too. Note that you need to be near the chaos gate when you use
these and not in the town for some reason. Something to do with the
programming
of the game's code. *Shrugs*

Also, don't forget that you only get 2 arts per weapon this game,
so what ever you do, DO NOT forget to switch your weapons once you
finish with one of the types:

-Weapon type---:------- Arts-----:-Skill level--

Duel Swords : Whirlwind : 11


: Chaotic Strike : 14

Broad Sword: : Tiger Strike : 12


: Shell Breaker : 15

Scythe: : Heavenly wheel : 16


------------------------------------------------

What you want to do is use 20 of your 22 Begginer's Text/Books and raise your
skill level to 15 for both weapon types, save the last two for later.
Now then, you should have all the arts for your Broad sword and Dual Sowrds.
Once you get your next job extension your skill level with your scythe with
be level 15, and you will have most if not all of your arts. I personally
took enough time to get some extra items so that I got both of my weapons
to skill level 15 and had some extra oncs left over.

Well now, with that done the next thing on the to-do list is equipment and
skills duty for Atoli

Here's just a general list of stuff to buy.

-Haseo-
Level 51 Duel swords-Customize with Fire attack and +10% Critial hit
Level 51 Broad sword-Customize with Fire attack and +10% Critial hit
Level 51 Heavy armor-Customize with -10% Physical and -10% Magic Damage
Level 51 Accessory- Customize with +10% EXP and Art Knowledge.

-AlKaid-
Level 51 Duel swords-Customize with Fire attack and +10% Critial hit
Level 51 Light Armor-Customize with -10% Physical and -10% Magic Damage
Level 51 Accessory- Customize with Art Knowledge X2.

-Atoli-
Level 51 Staff-Customize with Watter/Fire/or Wind attack and Sleep attack
Level 51 Robes-Customize with -10% Physical and -10% Magic Damage
Level 51 Accessory- Customize with Heal Knowledge X2

Also buy the following scrolls for Atoli to learn: Life scroll, Reflex scroll,
Repeal Scroll, Vitality Scroll.

-----

With all of that done it's time to head out and level up a bit.

----------------------------
-Random) Buzzing, Corpse's, Western -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 55
Party:Haseo,Atoli, alkaid
My Level:53

As you enter the Field, I want to mention that your new arts are useless
to you unless you add them to the Skill trigger. Note that the new arts are
noticable longer combos then the older arts. This will probably take some
getting use to. For now I will just list my arts set up on my skill trigger.

-Duel Swords-

Triangle: Chaotic Strike (new)


Circle: Sword Dance
X: Whril Wind (new)
Square: Tri-Strike

-Broad sword-

Triangle: Twin Moons


Circle: Bone Crusher
X: Tiger Strike (New)
Square: Shell Breaker (New)

Really is doesn't matter what button you asign to which


skill. But being the way my mind works I just found it easy to
set it up like this:
Triangle=Aerial attacks
Circle= Area attacks/circle pattern
X=quick/slashing combos
Square= Peirce

But again, that's just me. You can do it anyway you like.....unless I tell
you
differently.
-----------

Complete the area then head back.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Congrats, Haseo should be around level 55 with Alkaid and Atoli about
level....ooohh, say 53. Re-stock the guild shop,then Time to head over to the
arena for the first match. It's nothing to worry about, honest. So really,
don't be nervous.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------
Save, then go to the arena counter and select tournament.

----------------------------
-------- 10)Tourtament: Round One --------------
----------------------------
-Party:Haseo (55),Atoli(54),Alkaid(53)
-Opponets: HIROSAWA (50),ca-ge (50), kenta (50)
-Before the fight advice:

Not alot to say, also I should note that my


usefulness will be limited in this game due to the fact that the game will
now give you advice on the match by viewing the opponent info. So all I can
do is try and point out stuff they didn't mention and hope it helps.

But, for this round all I'll say is this: You're stronger and smarter then
they
are, it would be hard to lose. Good luck, see ya later.

-----------------------------------------------

Well now, after ward you see some scenes, I think it's prety obvious who
Sakaki
is talking to.....but she's different now isn't she? Anyway, at this point I
think it's rather obvious that Sakaki is a low life and that he's planning
something shaddy considering he's ranting about being chosen by AIDA.
......I guess he learned well from his master.....

Afterward, log-out.

--------------------------
---------------------- Power of Friends ------------------

It's the time you've been waiting for. Yes my friend Haseo can finially
return to his third form via Job extendtion. Read the e-mails.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Silabus : Job Extend Quest

him?
----------------------------------

Check the Forums too.

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: You will see a new topic, DO NOT respond to
this. It is infact the start of this game's hidden quest. It is
also the continuation of the Abbys quest. For now just view it
so it no longer comes up as new, but for now just leave it be.
----------------------------------

Check how you've been doing with 'Crimson VS' aswell.


When you're done log-in.

----------------------------

warp over to Dol Dana.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------
When you arrive you see Antares. lol, and after some comedy
head for the Quest shop. Make sure to add Silabus and Gaspard to
your party. With that done accept the new Job Extendtion quest.

-----5) Seeker of Karma
----------------------------
------- 11)Burning, Fallen, Seven Sins(Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Dungeon
Area Level: 54
Party: Haseo,Silabus, Gaspard
My Level:55
Unfortunitly, Haseo starts to revert a little to his ways of being an A-hole.
-B1-
At anyrate, what you need to do is first use a fairy orb to see where your
going. As you look at the map you will note the first floor is split into
three sections, you need to follow each path and warp to the next section
via warp point. Just continue this till you get to B2. Also, in additon
to needing to use the warp points, there are special doors along the way
that will test you knowledge on how well you've paid attention to the
back story of the game; if you answer the questions wronge you will lose
chim spheres. But considering that you're reading this guide
I'm willing to beat you just want me to give you the answeres.
.........So I will.

The first talking door you come to will ask you these questions:
(Note that as far as I can tell the questions are always from the
same doors everytime you play the game. But I'm just saying now
incase they really are random.)

-----
Q1)When the Younger Deity lost his life, what happened with his
last breath?
A1) <-(Steak sauce was made.) (3)"The hevans were created"

Q2) What was the Younger Deity's spirit given afterward?


A2) (1)Cern-U-nnos

Q3) The elves built something in order to be treated


the same as the gods. What did the elves construct?
(come on veterans of old .hack. you know this one)
A3) (2) Air Fortress Fort Ouph
-----
As you continue more scenes where Haseo starts being an A-hole again.

Later you'll run into another talking door, time for more Q and A.
-----
Q1) what were elves turned into?
A1) (1) Beast Men.

Q2) What race did Sol, god of creation, creat using the power taken
from the elves.
A2) Piros the 3rd....not really. (1) Grunties

Q3) What race was jelous of the Grunties power and wisdom?
A3) (2) Humans
-----

Continue to the next floor.

-B2-
As you enter B2 you will notice that there are 2 warp points, one one will
allow you to advance. It's the North one.

Continue onward.

Soon you'll find another talking door.


-----
Q1) What was the name of the creature grunties where turned into?
A1) (2)Puchi pongo

Q2) What did the gods creat to seal the path to hevan?
A2) (3)Morrigu Barrow Wall

Q3) What did the 8 gods do to save the world?


A3) (2) Seal 'Shadows"
----
Continue onward to B3.

-B3-

Well, congrats, no more talking doors. After you enter B3 you will again
see some scenes with Haseo being an A-hole.

Gaspard and Silabus leave your party.

well, for now just head for the beast statue, take a right turn at the
split unless you want some items from breakable objects.

As you approch the beast statue you'll see some scenes where Haseo snaps out
of being an A-hole and gets back to being a good friend and hero.

Afterward, what ever you do...DO NOT open the treasure chest. That would be
very very bad for you. Head back to where you left Silabus and Gaspard.
watch some scenes and then go get the beast statue treasure.

When your done head back to town.


------------------- ------------------- -------------------
------------------- -------------------

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

As you get back to town you'll see the movie where Haseo finally
returns to his 3rd and final form......well I mean..ah ...never mind.

--------------------------------
Movie- 07- 3rd form
Short Version/Main points: Haseo is a beast...I mean look at him. He's
like 'the dark knight'. SWEEEEETTTTT!!
--------------------------------

Haseo can now use his third weapon, the Scythe. Like the game says, it's
a great weapon for attacking groups of enemies. It tends to be stronger then
the Dual Swords but Weaker then the Broad Sword. Really it's a balance
between
the other two type of weapons. After ward you see some rather touching scenes
with Antares, Haseo's Master and mentor.

Anyways, on another note, you can now use the Multi-Trigger. You now only
need to set skills for one Skill trigger instead of them seperatly. The
good thing is that you can now switch weapons in the middle of battle.
The bad news is that you wont be able to use all your skills for each weapon,
instead you have to chose one or two apeice.
You can now also use Divine Awakening, which is how you're going to beat
the Doppleganner in this vol. But more on that in a second.

After everything is done and over with, it's time to adjust your skill
trigger
and to customize your new scythe. Also, at this point several options for
things you can now do have opened up. I'll cover them all in order.
---
First things First. Open your menue and go to equipment. First off notice you
can now have up to three weapons equiped, one for each type of weapon Haseo
can
now use. Make sure to fill all the slots with the correct weapons. As a side
note, if you did like I suggested and have 2 extra Begginger's Texts in
storage
get them out and use them with you main weapon set to scythe to gain level
16 skill level and your last arts for the game.
Next thing,go to Skill Trigger and set your skills to the following set up:

TriAngle: Chaotic Strike (Dual Swords)


Circle: Reaper's Touch (Scythe)
X: WhrilWind (Dual Swords)
Square: Shell Breaker (Broad Sword)

Ok, here's the stragedy behind this set up. Chaotic Strike is your best
aerial skill at this point, or about equal to Heavely wheel. So either one
works but I suggest Chaotic Strike. Next, Reaper's Touch is by far the best
area style attack you have, so there's you scythe. Shell Breaker is your
best pierce type skill you can have, so it only makes sense to have it.
Now then, X is differnt. Really when it comes down to it X can have almost
any skill set to it because you've already covered the important stuff.
I suggest using a skill that targets one enemy and does good damage. That
being said I suggest either WhirlWind or Tiger Strike. These are your best
options.
----

Also, as a some side notes, make sure to add materials to your scythe. And
second, check up with Death Grunty about the Books of 1000.

Well, then. Time to have some fun.

Number one- now would be a good time to go to the magic shop and buy the all
the magic scrolls and teach Haseo all the new spells for this game.
Number two- I'm sure you're itching to test your skill with you new weapons
and all so what better way to do that then to fight and beat the
dopplegannger?
Number three- The challenge of the Gold Goblins is calling your name.

1) It'll cost you about 39,000Gp to buy them all, but do it anyway cause it's
worth having the skills.

2) Ok, I'm gana share with you a trick I learned off some firends. This will
allow you to beat the Doppleganger and by doing so (if you beat him in the
last game) you will get his weapons for beating him twice in a row. The first
time you defeat him get him you will get his Broad sword, defeat him a second
time and you will then get his Dual Swords and his Scythe.
HOWEVER, I must warn you right now. Doing this is like cheating almost. See
these weapons are level 50, but they are stronger then any other weapons
you can get in the game. So really you will be able to get the best weapons
more or less from the start of the game. Granted it's fun to run around and
pwn everything you fight, but this REALLY takes away from the challenge of
the
game. So if you want those weapons look up the section at the bottom of
the guide on how to get the Doppleganger weapons. If you want the challenge
of doing the game normally, then I'll continue the game normally.

(note: I will be writing the guide as if you ignored the doppleganger and
continued like normal. I will however include that section just before
the final boss battle.)

3) For now we're going to go give your new weapons a try and then
do a quest and do some fancy Bike riding.

Head to the Chaos Gate, Empty your party and add Atoli and Alkaid. Then set
off
for a random area to test your new found powers.

----------------------------
-Random) Bussing, Wrath's, Two Wings-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 58
Party:Haseo,Alkaid, Atoli
My Level: 56

This area is a bit strong, but you should be able


to handle it. It's a good place to test your skills.

Being that your out and about I'll take this oppertunity
to share some of my wisdom with you.
1)When you activate the Skill trigger, it will flash the
type skill a monster is weak to.
2)If you hold X and charge an attack Haseo will release the scythe
'sonic' waves that surround him. These work best if you can
pin an enemy between your attack and the edge of the battle
area, that way they just keep bouncing into your attack instead
of bouncing away.
3) About your new awakening:
When you activate the awakening, you will have a guage at the bottom
of your screne. A little white line will start to move from left to right.
The goal is to get it as close to the middle mark as you can, within the
middle three notches. There are three colors on the bar. All three will
result
in a different attack at the end, the closer you are to the center the
stronger
the attack will be. The middle three notches are your "perfect" marks.
The center notch will give you +3 seconds bonus, the other two one the sides
will give you +1 second. This happens for both party members, so it's
possible
to get 1,2,3,4, and 6 second bonus times. IF you got the bonus time you will
be
asked to press the X button rapidly. The more hits you get in the more
powerfull the attack will be. I've been able to get up to 45 hits with a six
second bonus which ussally results in about 2,000 damage to all enemy's in
the
battle area.

-Other notes: IF you come across the following Weapon/Armor Materials


while out leveling up, make sure to hang onto them: -25% P-Dam. , -25% M-Dam.,
Light Attack, Dark Attack, +10% Hp or SP, and +25% Hp/Sp.
(Not to be confused with +100 Hp or Sp, those aren't as good as the ones
with %)

Well, that's all for now.

When you finish messing around head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Save. I managed to get Haseo to level 58, Atoli to 56, Alkaid to 56.
Our goal right now is to have everyone at level 60 at least. So restock the
guild shop and your item supply then head out again.

----------------------------
-Random) Buzzing, Maiden's, Princess-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 60
Party:Haseo,Alkaid, Atoli
My Level: 58

You know the drill, complete the area's objective, gain some EXP, get
items,and when your done head back.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Right then. I managed to get Haseo lvl 61, Atoli and Alkaid to lvl 59.
If you got as far as I did, time to take a break and do something enjoyable.
Go to the quest shop. Lets have some fun shall we?
If you havn't gone to the bike shop in Dol Dona and bought the bike upgrades
then I think you should do that right now. Here's the list of what you want.

170 Engine- 25,000Gp


Yamane Armor-40,000Gp
Type 500 Muffler-24,000Gp
150 Tires-23,000Gp

You can get these from the Junk shop near Canard's @home in Dol Dona.
When you have these, head to the quest shop for my favorite quest of
the game.
Note that you don't have to do this if you don't want to. It's optional.
But I still suggest doing the quest now rather then waiting till later.
I know you're proabaly dieing to see what happens next in the story.
But really there are only 8 normal quests for this game, and I'll only
be including them in the main flow of the guide here and there. Not to
mention the rewards aren't that bad for taking a few minutes to do these.

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------


-----7) Challenge from the Goblins
----------------------------
------- 12)Pursuing, Expert's Biker (Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Bike Mission Area
Area Level: 69
Party: Haseo,(none),(none)
My Level: 61

Welcome fellow gamers to the Goblin Challenge.


Vetran gamers will recall the pains of playing Goblin Tag from the old games.
Here they have introduced a way to cominded two acpect of the old games:
Goblin tag, and Grunty Racing. What they have done this time is you challenge
the Gold Goblins in a game of Bike Tag, then once you finish the quest you
can
compete in Bike Missions. Which are time attack missions replacing
Grunty Races.

For now let's get on with the Quest:

As you enter the area, walk forward and you will be confronted by the Gold
Goblins. Fun. Instead of facing them seperatly like the old games, you can
take
them all on in one area in one shot. Well, that makes things easier and more
fun.

Now, jump on your bike and move forward, You will be stopped and the match
will
then begin.

-----
1st Round: Haseo, The terror of Death VS Stephoney the Underling.
-----

Ok there is a basic stradgey to doing this. The Idea is that you


have to catch the inside of one of their turns. Basicly the Goblins will
flee from you as you chase them, they will start to turn at some point.
Hopefully they dont turn sharp. The Idea is to get on the inside of their
turn
and keep turning with them. Note that you'll have to be prety close to them
and match their turn pretty closly. So bascily you drive in circles.
Pull harder on the joy stick so you start to turn faster then they do on the
inside of the turn.
Then timing it correctly, you let the joy stick 'out more' and hopefully you
will cut them off in the turn and there for making contact with them there by
winning the round.

-----
2nd Round: Haseo, T.O.D. Vs Jonue the Quick Eater
-----

Same thing as before. Only this time you have to run into him two
time before he'll give in.

-----
3rd Round: Haseo, T.O.D. VS Zyan the Quick Eared & Albert the Quick Sleeper?
-----

Two this time, Both of which you will have to hit twice.
Other then that same thing as before.

------
Final Round: Haseo, T.O.D. VS Martina the Quick Runner
------

She's fast, kinda like some of the lucky animals that use
burst of speed. Other then that just keep hitting her (3 times) and use
the same stragedy as before. Good luck.

Congrats on winning, time to head back.


When you get back to town you'll finish the quest.

Area Level: 58

My Level:61

Funny scenes between the party as you enter.

This area is a collection mission. Head west while stopping to open


the treasue chests along the way. About half way to the second
chest there's a warp point. Use it to warp to the next area.

Head along the canyon wall to the next chest and also the next warp point.

One last chest and one last warp point.


Finially, you reach the beast statue. Get it and head back.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

When you get back everyone says good bye and they head out leaving you alone.
Well, what better time then now to cover the bike missions? Or at least the
first one anyway.

First, head over to see Kafu near the @home. He should be right across from
the
warp point. Read what he has to say, then head back to the Chaos Gate.

Open the warp menu, Now set the first part word to 'Passing'.
Now depending on the combinatione of words after that you will get
different types of areas, if you look to see what the Misson for the area
is it will say this: "Bike Mission (Course #)" There are five different
courses. The should be done in a certian order becuase of the level of
difficulty. The order is 4, 3, 5, 1, 2. <- A little tip I got from Skitchell.
So you want to go to an area that is course 4. Now there are some general
tips you want to follow, but chances are you won't really understand what I'm
talking about until you try the bike missions yourself at least once.

So...I suggest these key words: "Passing, Wrath's, Two Wings.

Go here and try the Bike mission at least once or twice, that way
you get a feel for how things work and then I can re-capo and explain
stuff you may or may not have missed.

Ok here the general rules you need to keep in mind:

1:Generally speaking the fist mission is the hardest because you don't have
any of the rare bike parts yet.
2: Always start off the mission with a charged boost that will save you time,
unless I say other wise. You can perform a charged start boost by doing the
following: as the counter begins to count down from 3, hold the Square and
X buttons at the same time. When the timer hits Zero; release the brake while
still holding the gas.
3: you want to keep the Nirto guage full and in use as much as possible, AKA
the entire time.
4: Keep pressing the R1 (boost) button over and over again the entire time
you race. It's alot easier then trying to guess when your guage is full while
trying to stear aswell. It saves precious seconds you need to win.

-------------
Bike Trial 4
-------------

It's a Canyon Highlands area. I think it's the most annoying mission out of
all of them. There are two ways to do this mission:
Option A:

1: As the counter starts prepare a boost start. Take off and swearve left
into
Chims. Keep hitting the nitro.
2: As you round the corner, try to hit as many chims as you can.
3: Round the corner and just bearly clip the King.
4: Work through the s-curves, be careful and try not to hit the walls
as much as you can.
5: round the corner and hit the chims, keep pressing R1.
6: Round another corner, hit the chims and boost toward the next king.
7: Round the courner and hit the chims while angling toward the last king.

Option B:
1: Do not prepare a boost. When the counter says go, do a u-turn by
aiming the joystick down and to the left.
2: This part is important. Round the corner and clip the King.
3: Then with out slowing down, get ALL the chims in the first row.
There is just enough to fill the Nitro Guage.
4: Boost as you turn the corner, get as many chims as you can.
5: Through the curves, then through more S curves, and clip the
finial King. Even with a bad time this way turned out fast then the
other way. You Chose.

When you beat Matsu's time, head back to town.


----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Go to the @Home and Add your new part to your bike, for me. I
got Night Tires. But I think the bike parts are random for
each mission. Eventually you'll get em all.

Well, that was fun. Log-out.

Looks as if you need to meet Nala. You'll need a party, since Atoli is
offline.
Add Pi and Alkaid to your party. Also, I would buy all the new magic scrolls
for Pi and teach them to her. The last thing before you had out, there is a
armor material-> +10%sp. Give it Pi if you have one, that way she has some
extra SP and set her stragedy to Life.

Then head out.

Ok, this place is a little confusing, not much but a little.

-The South West Warp point will take you to the far west of the map. The
place with the lone chest. Go here first get the chest and then back track.
-Now the North east warp point will Take you to North east part of the map.
It's conected to the main section of land. From here, you wan to head
south to the southern most chest that is right beside a warp point.
that warp point will take you to the Beast Temple, and of corse the Tri-edge
sign.

If your smart you'll grab the beast statue treasure. Also, About this point
in
the game you'll come across an accessory Material that give you +10% movment
speed. Make sure to hold on to one or two of them, as they can be useful.

Head for the Tri-Edge sign, chose to warp.

---Hidden, Forbiden, Hades---

You'll end up at the lost grounds, it bascily the games version of the under
world. It's the place beneath Indieglut Lugh. The three in Indieglut Lugh
acts
as a seal to the under world.

Watch the scenes, come back in a bit....

Nala talks to you for a bit and then gives you some armor. Bascily it's just
the right type of thing you need to beat your next oppent, Hiiragi, in the
next
round of the tournament. Peachy.....but why exactly whould Nala sell out
someone from his own guild? 0.o

When your done, head back.

Great, make sure that your party is at the following levels: Haseo 65, Atoli

Also, Check with death Grunty, and Kafu about the bike missions. You'll get
rare bike parts from him based on how many trials you've done. Also you'll
get Begginer's Text/Book based on chims you've collected.

And you should be ready for the next round in the toury. Save and head for

should have no trouble beating these guys. Second, Hiiragi is a pain in the

on him and beat him to a pulp.

You should have no problems with this round, good luck.

All you really have to do is beat the boss of the field.

However, try to gain a level and reach level 66. You'll


thank me later.

Somewhere along the line, Alkaid will talk with Haseo. Watch the

After, continue on. Fight the boss of the field, it's not hard. Then
watch some of my personal favorite scenes in the game.

Man.....poor Haseo. Head back when your done.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Yeah, very sad.

The dual swords you just got are actually very nice. That's
why I wanted you to get to level 66 so that you could use them. In other news
I managed somehow to get a level 75 accessory, which happens to be the 2nd
best
over all accessory in the game. So make sure to save it for later.

well, you should be good to go at this point unless you got some odds

Time to figure out whats been knocking off the chims.

As you enter and walk forward a bit, You'll notice the place seems
to be missing something......

At anyrate, head for the next floor down.

On the second floor, you need to start heading for the top right corner
of the map, it looks like nothing is there, just a dead end. Well you're
right in thinking so.

As you start heading there, you'll come to a square room where you
can go east or west, not obviously you'll go east cause I told you
to (top right corner). There's two parties of monstes here, kill
both before you move on.

As you get near that top right corner room,


you'll hear some laughing, now you just have to back track to the
larg-ish square room back a ways where you killed those two
parties of monsters. Bascily just re-trace your steps
going back toward the ramp that will take you back up one floor
and you'll have to pass through the correct room.

And you discover a one of a kind, Assassin Dad. Now then, all you got to
do is kick it 3 times in a row. Good luck.

You'll report in, end of quest.

-Before the fight advice: As you can see it's a pretty
weak team compared to you right now. Really there again are two
choices:
1) Use magic and mage them to death.
2) Use your
Scythe and pwn them.

Either way, you win.


Have fun, Watch the scenes. In fact these scenes are really,
really good. The jealousy is so thick you could almost cut it
with a knife. Come back later when done.

-------------------------------------

After the fight you see yet another scene......is it just me


or does she look kinda.....different?

In other news. Remember that great level 92 scythe that Alkaid


has? If you want it, don't wait any longer. Get it now and trade her
for it.

Also. It's time to do some training on our own. You have a new goal
to reach: level 75.

Yes I know that's about 9 levels away, but trust me. You won't be
owning your next opponent in the arena. You will Need those Levels
for the next two boss fights comming up.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

do what you need to. Get ready to go training. I know it seems like
there's no rest. But trust me. You NEED to get to level 75 before the

And Keep and an eye out for the Knights Guild shop to be open in the main

your level 51 scythe.

Also here's the new list of Equipment to keep an eye out for:

Haseo:
level 62 Scythe
Level 68 Heavy Armor

Atoli:
lvl 68 Robes

Alkaid:

(On a side note. Keep any level 75 accessories you might

Only one or two more areas to go and you'll be level 75. I should
stress that Haseo being level 75 is more important that Atoli and
Alkaid being level 75 too. There's a reason for this that I'll explain later.
Save. Resupply guild shop. Restock items in your inventory and
party member's inventory. Check in with Death Grunty. Check to see
is the Knights are open and if they are check for level 60 scythe.

Side note: Keep an item called Armadillo Crest= -25% Magic D.

Add Atoli and Kuhn to your party.

As for Equipment here's a list of what to get:

Haseo can now use the level 75 accessories now.


Their pretty good, and only second best to the
level 95 accessories.
Kuhn need lvl 60 or 68 armor depending on his level
and what extra equipment you have in storage....or what
you feel like buying. Also you can buy a level 66 steam gun
for Kuhn that he should be able to use.

After you got it together head for the new area.

----------------------------
-------20)Secret, Mind's, Surpassed-------

Area Type: Temple Dungeon
Area Level: 62
Party: Haseo, Kuhn, Atoli
My Level: 75

The area is really weak for your level. And on top of that
there are not bunches and bunches of AIDAs running around
wild like Kuhn made it sound. There is only one AIDA in this
are. However it'll take some time to hunt it done. I'll
do my best to guide you.

I suggest a speed tailsman for getting around quickly.


That combined with the +10% speed Material for an acce3ssory.
You can get around in a dungeon prety fast. Use Fairy orbs to
see the map and be able to get around quicker.

1st block:
This part isn't very big. No AIDA here. Just a treasure chest and
some differnt breakable objects.

2nd Block: Bigger but not by much.


No AIDA here either. Just some treasure chest and breakable objects.

3rd Block:
Again no Idea. Same old stuff.

4th Block: Last block and yes there is one AIDA.


It's on the left most part of the map. Take the path more North that
lead to a dead end (not the Beast Statue).

In other words go: West at the first spilt,West at the second, And North
at the third. Again there is only one AIDA in the area.

As you approch the AIDA a Movie will play.

BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Anna>
My Level: 75
Enemy Attacks:

Algol Bullet- use Slash to defend


Algol Laser- Powerful attack, use Dash to avoid.
Normal shot- It will shoot little balls of energy at you. Dash to evade
or slash through them with the X button.

These AIDA are so weak you don't even need to stun


it to be able to do enough damage to kill it. You can move in close and just
slash away. But if you find it's giving you trouble then do it the normal way.

Keep shooting it till it's stuned, get and close and slash away. Keep going
till it protect breaks.

When it protect breaks you'll have a timer that will count down from about 1
minute, the timers vary from Boss to Boss. You need to data drain it in that
time. Charge DD as you continue to watch the incomming enemy shots, dodge
them
and when AIDA pauses for a breif moment, release DD and fire away.
-----------------------------------

lol, I managed to do that whole fight with out getting hit once. =)

Once your back in normal time/space, just head for the Beast statue.
There you will find treasure and the closest platform back to town.

----------------------------------
-News- :
Short version: There are several good
articals here. And all three of them
pretain to the story. The most improtant of
these however you will find under the "Nation"
topic. It's the second one down. If you select it
you will see a picture of a girl that looks alot
like Alkaid......

The first news topic on that page is also


important. It's about some Doll Syndrom
patients who've gone missing.

The other topic that is important is titled


"New Creatures" Highly Popular. I over looked this
artical because I thought it wasn't important. Esspecialy
with what had just happened to Alkaid. But for those of
us who played the old games; if you take a closer look at that
picture you may reconize those two......

Let it sink in......think about it....... YES. That's right.


That is none other then Nuke and Rachel. Two of the .hackers
from Kite's party. Lol, apperentally they met at the offline
party after Quaratine when all the .hackers got together.
And obviously they got to know each other and then got married.
Now they do comedy and music for a living and after working hard
are a smash hit.
WOW, what a mind job eh?

BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Anna>
My Level: 75
Enemy Attacks:

Algol Bullet- use Slash to defend


Algol Laser- Powerful attack, use Dash to avoid.
Normal shot- It will shoot little balls of energy at you. Dash to evade
or slash through them with the X button.

These AIDA are so weak you don't even need to stun


it to be able to do enough damage to kill it. You can move in close and just
slash away. But if you find it's giving you trouble then do it the normal way.

Keep shooting it till it's stuned, get and close and slash away. Keep going
till it protect breaks.

When it protect breaks you'll have a timer that will count down from about 1
minute, the timers vary from Boss to Boss. You need to data drain it in that
time. Charge DD as you continue to watch the incomming enemy shots, dodge
them
and when AIDA pauses for a breif moment, release DD and fire away.

After the fight more scenes.

---Indieglut Lugh----

As you enter you meet Skau, and she's not happy to


see you. In fact she's down right pi$$ed. And if you had
caught my hints from Vol. 1 or if you saw almost any of the
trailers for vol. 1 you know that Saku and Bo are the users
of an Avatar: Gorre

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Gorre
My Level: 75
Enemy Attacks:

(First let me say this battle is a pain in the @$$ and if it


wasnt for the fact that your level 75 this would be pretty
hard.)

-Normal Shot: Gorre will bonuce up and down twice and then
unlease a wave of fire: kinda like Magus's rapid fire shots.
Either slash through it or dash out of the way.

-Bloom of Destiny: Gorre releases a disk like blade of energy. You have to
slash at it and knock it away: Like Azure Flame god. You have to hit it
three time for it to go away. DONT combo attack it. Wait till it gets close
and Just tap the X button once to flick it away, repeat two more times to
defeat this attack.

-Painful Blow: Saku will yell "here it goes". Dash out of the way.
She'll charge right at you. As she goes by Start blasting her with your
shots. If you land enough hits in a row she'll stun and give you
an opening to land some heavy slashs.

-Paraide Invite - If you see Gorre start to 'Switch' (from pink to Blue)
dash at her as fast as you can and get as close as you can.
You have a time counter that counts down from five. IF you dont land a slash
in
that time you will suffer a major attack to the face. Gorre will release
bubbles behind her. That will stun you. Avoid as much as possible. Dash and
try
to catch up with her and give her a nice good slash.

-Data Drain- You will see Gorre "switch" in a differnt way. They'll
start gathering energy. Shoot or slash as much as you can. IF you
get lucky it'll stun her and advert the DD. If not just use two fingers
and mash the X and O buttons like crazy till you break free.

Adivce:
-Keep pounding Gorre with you Shots. Dont get too close. Or she'll
release rapid fire in your face. Also, directly after said her normal
Rapid fire shots.
You will have a chance to stun Gorre by shotting her like crazy.

When Gorre FINIALLy protect break two things will happen.First is she
will release little bursts of Shots. Second, dont get close to her. She'll
smack you. 3rd, You must release the data drain before or during the 'switch'
between Pink to Blue. If you dont, you're screwed.

Good luck.
-----------------------------------

When all of that is over. Watch the scenes, then come back.

I dont know if the games ever confirm it. But I'm pretty sure Saku
and Bo aren't twins. I think its one person with a split personality.
One day she's Bo one day She's Saku. Like like Bi-polar only far worse.
And I think Sakubo's Avatar amplfies that by changing how their character
looks (Hair, switching the hat) depending on what personality Sakubo is
using that day.

Anyway, About the conversation between Haseo and Endrance. I think some
explaining needs done that they simply dont cover in the G.U. series.
(Unless you have the terminal Disk).

For those of you who: 1) Don't have the terminal disk OR the old games....
actually I dont think you can unlock those files without Clear data from
the old games anyway.....so if you didnt play through the old games then
I'm going to give an explaintion of just what the crap Endrance was talking
about. If you don't feel like reading this then don't, Skip it and move on.
It's just some extra stuff I'm adding about the irony of the story line.

-----------------------------------------

MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!!!

-----------------------------------------
Ok. First. Endrance was known by the name of Elk in the original games:
Infection-Quaratine. In those games you play as the main character Kite.
Kite meets Elk and a mysterious Cat like character in an ally way in
Mac Anu (back during the R1 days). This was the year 2010 during the
begining of the second network crisis (Sometimes called Pluto again
or the Morgana Incident.) ANYWAy. Mia was an illegally modified Character
who looked like a cat and helped Kite gain knowledge of the extent of his
Powers: Data Drain and Gate Hacking.

Anyway, Elk and Mia were good friends and always seemed
to be together. Elk was only in 7th grade at the time. He started playing
'The World" R1 to make new friends since he didnt have alot in real life.

Ok, so as the story progressed Things were all good until the
Part 3 //Outbreak. At which point Mia starts acting really weird. She
starts losing parts of her memory and acts all depressed.
That goes on until the final game of the original series Part 4 //Quaratine.
Near the beggining of that game Kite finds Mia and Elk in a Dungeon. Mia
admits
that she has no memory except of when she plays 'The World". At that moment
Kite shows up and she starts freaking out. She starts yelling at a voice in
her
head saying to it, "No! I want to remain as myself." At this point she
transforms Avatar style into none other then Macha, the 6th Phase.
Elk is warped away from the area and Kite is forced to battle Macha. He
Data-Drains her. As the Avatar starts comming apart Mia is released. Kite
catchs her and he holds her much the same way Haseo did for Alkaid. Elk shows
back up and is only bearly able to say good bye before Mia disapears.

Ok, see Mia was an AI program that was being controled by Macha to some
extent. Yet at the same time Mia was a differnt person/ AI. Just like
Haseo is seperate from Skeith.

*Gasps for Breath then continues*

At the very end of //Quaratine, during the post game dungeon.


(In which you fight through a 15 floor dungeon that is crawling with
Data Bugs) Kite is finially able to bring back Mia. So Elk and Mia
are back together again.

One problem. The Macha Factor reattached itself to Mia after the game.
And in order for CC Corp. to make the Epitaph user for Macha. They
were forced to destory the cat character it was attached to......
aka Mia. So you see. Mia is gone and AIDA was pretending to be
Mia so that it could control Endrance. There it is. The explanation
of "She".

*GAsPS FOR A REALLY BIG BREATH*

Not both. Only one.

You're going to need to collect all the symbol fragments on top


of fighting an AIDA. This place is a bit of an Maze of warp points.

1st: go to the non-use warp point and activate it, chose to warp.

2nd: you should now be standing in the middle of a group of four


purple warp points. Three of these warp points will take you to
a chest contianing symbol fragments. The fourth will take you
to the beast statue.

South, East, West purple Warp points: Take you to chests.


North Purple warp point: Takes you to Beast statue.

when you use the east warp point you will encounter AIDA. You should
have no problem defeating it. Afterward continue on to the
beast statue. When you get there watch the scenes and the come back.

Grab the treasure and then head back to town.

--------------------------------

Anyway get ready for one of the hardest Avatar battles of Vol. 2.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Oswald>
My Level: 75 (You may have to re-try this fight, it's not easy)
Enemy Attacks:

Archene shot: Slash through this attack or better yet, Dash to avoid
then counter with your shots, it has a good chance to stun.

Normal slash: when the AIDA starts to get near you, it will
attack by slashing. Dash out of the way to avoid.

Kobold Bullet: Flick away with slashes

Arachno Trap: this is like one of Magus's attacks. Move to A LITTLE to the
Left as the trap starts down, move back to the right as it goes back up.

Stragedy:

This fight is tough but not unbeatable by any means. Just keep avoiding
attacks as much as possible and then pound away with shots. Avoid getting
close other then when it's stunned.

when it protect breaks she'll try to get close to land some slashs.
Blast Data drain in her face. Or when she trys to fire Archene Shot.
----------------------------------

Anyway, Afterward you see some scenes: Silabus and Gaspard are noticing that
things arent as they seem. Sakaki is a B@$tard. And Endrance just said that
he pledges his heart to you and that he admits he's possbily gay. The only
good thing out of it is that Endrance, despite his confussion about sexality,
decided to give you his Member address.

Well, that was intresting. At least Haseo remains with out a doubt straight
the entire game. Thank goodness....and no offence ment to anyone.

Also afterward Saku confronts Haseo and also ends up giving him her
Member Address......Not sure if I should be happy about that, or depressed
that you got to put up with her.

This story event will give you a great oppertunity to prepare
yourself for upcomming events. See, Sakubo and Endrance both
need equipment upgrades. So at least you can get that out of
the way now. Also you yourself need equipment upgrades too.

Here's the problem: Next twin swords are lvl 78, next broad sword
is lvl 80, and next scythe is lvl 82. So, that leaves you in a pickle.
You need to go from level 75 to level 82 before the title match with
Sirius. Trust me on this one. I know it seems like I've been making you
do some huge amounts of training, but at the end of the game it WILL pay off.

Here's the Equipment and items you need to aquire.

Note that Endrance and Sakubo proabaly aren't high enough levels
to use the armor just yet, but they should be close.

Endrance:
Lvl 67 sword-Customized: Fire att. and +10% Cirt. Hit.
lvl 68 light armor: Customize with -10% Magic D. (use the -10% physical D.
from his original armor when he gets to lvl 68)
lvl 55 accessory: Custom.: Arts Knowledge x2

Sakubo:
lvl 68 Robes: Custom.: -10% Physical and Magic D.
lvl 55 Accessory: Custom.: Magic Knowledge and Heal Knowledge
Also, go to the magic store and Buy all the new magic scrolls and
teach the new spells to Skaubo.

We can worry about Haseo's equipment in awhile.

Lets head out for now:

Area Type: Field
Area Level: 74
Party: Haseo, Endrance, Sakubo (Saku)

When you enter the field, make sure to go under stragedy and
set Sakubo to 'Life'.

Ok, this area is prety easy, just follow the path up and around then down to
the warp point in the south west corner of the map. From there you can warp
to
the boss and the end of the mission. Also. At the end of that really long
bridge there is a lucky animal.

When you're done head back to town.


------------

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------
Hopefully you did enough fighting to gain some levels, I was level
77 when I left that area. So for me, just 5 more levels to go.

promising. Atfer you take care of the normal chores, Log-out.

If you need to head out again one last time and finish up.
When you get back to town you need to go equipment hunting.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Ok here's the list of stuff you need for the Final Round:

--Haseo:

Lvl 78 Dual Swords: Custom.- Fire att. and +25% Crt. Hit
Lvl 80 Broad Sword: Custom.-Fire att. and +25% Crt. Hit
lvl 82 Scythe:Custom. -Fire att. and +25% Crt. Hit

(Dual swords can be found at the area where you, Saku, and Endrance
trained at. The Broad Sword can be found found in areas that have a
monster called Scissor Byte. I found them in a lvl 83 Field. The
Scythe can be gotten from a NPC in town called Barson or dr. D .)

Lvl 82 Hvy. Armor: Custom.: -25% P. Damage, and -10% Magic Damage.
Lvl 75 Accessory: Custom.: Arts Knowledge, and (Arts or +10%exp)

--Endrance:
Lvl 67 Sword: Fire att. and +10% Crt. Hit
Lvl 76 light Armor: -10% P. Damage. and -10% M. Damage
Lvl 75 Accessory: Arts Knowledge x2.

--Pi

Dont get anything for her. It's not nessecary. Trust me.

--Note: Also take along these extra items:


lvl 76 light armor x1
lvl 75 accessory x1
Also Buy a set of all the new Magic scrolls from the Magic shop.

When you got all that finially. Save then head over to the
Arena.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------

Head for the Arena Counter. Register for the Fight, then watch all
the scenes take place.

Afterward add Kuhn to your party, and give him the extra armor
and accessory that I told you to keep a hold of. Although
its likly that Kuhn will only be level 75 and not 76, but
give him the items anyway. Just for future use at least.
You can save one more time if you want. Then head for the counter
and enter the fight. Also, use all the magic scrolls you bought on Kuhn.
Go under the stragedy menue and set him to "life".

----------------------------
---------28)Tourtament: Title Match--------------
----------------------------
-Party:Haseo (82),Kuhn(75),Endrance(79)
-Opponets: Sirius (77), Azure Bulmung (76), Azure Orca (76)
-Before the fight advice:

Ignore Azure Orca and Azure Bulmung. Go right for


Sirius. If you try to attack the other two, you may land
a hit or two then they'll just dissappear. Sirius on the
other hand is real enough. Avoid using arts on him other then
counter attacking. Sirus will counter attack 99% of the time
if you use arts first to attack.

About half way through the fight Sirus will unleash Divine Awakening.
Next,You hear a message from Pi. As I said, Orca and Bulmung aren't real.

For the rest of the fight, just focus on Sirus. Totally ignore the
other two.

As Sirius' Hp gits about 300-200 left. There's a movie that leads you
to the next boss battle.

Normal Shot: Release little balls of energy at you. Doudge or slash


through it.

Pascal Bullet: Flick away with slash.

Lisp Tackle: AIDA charges you, dash to avoid.

Prolog Laser: trys to shoot you will a broad side shot.


Dash to avoid.

Stragedy:

This fight is pretty easy compared to Bordeaux's AIDA.


Pound away with shots till it stuns move in for slashs. Easy kill.

Once it protect breaks, charage and fire DD. It's easy to hit.
----------------------------------------

Afterward you see some scenes, watch and enjoy. Then come back.

Shows Atoli's Morgana factor being restored.


Then shows Sirius shortly.
--------------------------------
Movie-13 - The Descendants
Short Version/Main points: It shows the REAL Azure Orca and Azure Bulmung
show up and kill the fake ones that were made by AIDA. Also you get a peek
at Tri-Edge. And then it's over......
--------------------------------
Some scenes about Atoli getting healed and also Ovan.....who says, "become
stronge Haseo...for my skae...and Shino's."

Sirius finially wakes and some scenes take place where Sirius finds out
about Alkaid......

Anyway after the match some stuff is said between everyone.


Haseo metions that he's unsure if he's been doing the right thing, and
that they have the wrong ideas about some stuff. But everyone decides that
it's not worth worrying about until they know more. So they decided to
continue
doing what they've been doing.

And then Sakaki shows up and ruins the moment by being the b@$tard he is.
More on that shortly.

After everything is said and done it's time to log-out and begin the last
section of the game.

--------------------------
---------------------- Finding Truth ------------------
--------------------------

Now, it is time. Time for many the questions concerning the story
to be answered. You will finially know a large part of the truth.
Not everything, but you will take a large step forward.

This section of the game isn't as long as the others. Parts of it can be a
bit slow. But then you'll find the story taking off.

To start off this setion you have a new e-mail sent from someone who....
well. Just read and see for yourself.

first this concerns them too being that their Avatar users

level 75. And you need to get them to at least level 75
and or better yet level 76 (so they can wear lvl 76 light armor).

Anyway. As you enter you will get short mails from Phyllo.
Really, all you need to do is cross the bridge and head to the South East
most
corner of the map. Well actually it's just slightly north of the South
east most corner of the map. Just walk around in the general area till
you find him.

When you get there, come back and read more.

What you see before you is an Adler's key. If you collect


a ceritan number of these keys you will be able to unlock
the Lost Weapons. These keys can be found in Fields and Dungeons.
And after this will be marked on the area map by an icon.

I'll make sure to give more of an explanition on the Lost weapons in a


bit. For now just go with the flow and collect 4 of the remaining keys.
Also Note that you can get on your bike and if you ram them with your
bike you will collect them. Kinda like treasure chests or breakable objects.
You will find all 5 keys south of the bridge on the island you saw Phyllo on.

When you get all 5. Head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Log-Out.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Phyllo : Adler's Keys
Short version: You get some awesome keywords that
will lead you to the edge of the world. And to where
the power of the 8 Phases sleeps in the form of the
Lost Weapons.
----------------------------------

log-in

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------
Form a Party with Kuhn and Pi.

Granted if Atoli wasnt bussy at the moment she


and Endrance would have made the best party. But the
way things stand at the moment. Pi and Kuhn are the
best choices for whats ahead.

Go to the new Area.

----------------------------
-------30)Hidden, Forbidden, Sacrament-------
----------------------------
Area Type: LandScape/ Lost Grounds
Area Level: (None)
Party: Haseo, Pi, Kuhn
My Level: 82

When you arrive you will meet Phyllo face to face.


And he will break the news to you.....yes he is dead.
You're reading a recorded message.

And then Antares pops out from nowhere and almost scares
the $hit out of you. =P

Listen to him, he explains, when you're done listening to him.


I'll recap and explain further.

When you gain control walk up to the scythe.....or explore first.


But eventually walk up to the scythe, the one that looks like
Skeith's scythe he uses during avatar battles..... and select it.

Antares mentions that you need a certian amount of the Adler's keys
to break the seal. This amount increases by 5 keys everytime you
go to unlock the next weapon. Once the seal is broken you must defeat
a monster.

For now go ahead and break the seal. Once done it will turn blue.
If you select it you will be asked if you want to fight the 'Beast
of Seal' (lvl 75). Chose yes.

------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Death Eater
My Level: 82
Enemy Attacks: Just normal attacks.

This guys is suprisingly strong. Your best bet when ever facing one of these
monsters is to build up the Moral guage and unleash Divine Awakening. Basicly
just pound it into the ground. Good luck. And Afterward enjoy the scenes.
-----------------------

After everything, Antares will take off. If you didnt look around before.
I suggest doing so now. In doing so you should notice that, even tho you
only unlocked One weapon, which is Haseo's; Two weapons are missing.
In other words.....the person who is the 8th and finial phase already
has their Lost Weapon........that my friends is very very intresting.

Anyway, On top of that I will offer a quick explanation of this.

Shortly, you can go to any field, new or ones you've already visited.
You will now find various numbers of these Adler's keys there.
Collect them when ever you can. These weapons a very good.

In Fact the are the Ultimate Weapons for the series.........


I know what you're thinking. How can that be if they're only
level 75 and only the 2nd or 3rd best weapons in vol. 2 not
even mentioning vol 3.

The answer is this .....(BEEEEP!! *Censored*)

Lol, just kidding. Lets just say that Haseo and Skeith start becoming
more powerfull in the next game, and that Haseo is able to aquire certian
items called.....ohhhh ...Virus Cores. And if he collects enough of them,
he can upgrade the Lost weapons. Which boosts their stats and makes them
the Ultimate Weapons in Vol 3.

I will list the weapons and who they go to and how they rank compared
to the other weapons in vol. 2.

Haseo- Scythe (tie for 2nd with lvl 92 scythe)


Atoli- Staff (2nd Best)
Kuhn- Steam gun (2nd Best)
????- Fan (????????)
Sakubo-Girmoire (2nd Best)
Endrance- Blade (2nd Best)
Pi- Gauntlets (2nd Best)
?????- ????? (????????)
About the question marks: I know who they are, and you might know who they
are.
But for the sake of keeping spoilers to a min. I'll simply not say.

Before you leave Equipe Ticking Death to Haseo. It is in fact the 2nd/3rd
best
Scythe in the game.......

Time to head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

When you get back to town you will notice that you have a butt load of
e-mails. Well I know you must be itching to get on with the story.

Log-out.

-E-mail- Kuhn : Thanks
Short version: Says he plans on sticking things out
till the end.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : over thinking is bad for you
Short version: Says that after all you've done maybe
you deserve a break.

"Travis I dont give breaks, no breaks,"


The Rock from the moive 'Run Down'.

lol....yeah ok, so anyway.


----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Yata : Good work
Short version: Says that everything is lookin good...
for now. Says he'll have orders for you soon.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Endrance : heart beats
Short version: Just says how he has gay love
for Haseo >_<
Endrance needs to talk to Piros.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Sakubo (saku) : Master En
Short version: Says she hates your guts.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Antares : You're the Emperor!
Short version: Says you did him proud and
he plans on getting drunk again tonight.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Antares : Lost weapons
Short version: Re-caps on the lost weapons.
you can now find Adler's Keys in the field and Dungeons.
Also mentions that he's been keeping an eye on Haseo at the
request of Phyllo. He also says that at some point he became truly
intrested in Haseo and decided to make him his apprentice.
----------------------------------

There's some really great stuff in the news. Namly a new Online Jack.
Which is very important to events comming up shortly.

----------------------------------
-News- :
Short version: There's a new Online Jack. Make sure
to watch it. It's funny and creepy at the same time.
But very good none the less. And of course they leave you
in a cliff hanger.
----------------------------------

There's at least one very very good topic in the Rumors


board.
----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: The one topic talks about Haseo and Endrance
and the possible explainations to why they have special 'skills'.
Needless to say people are starting to notice something is very odd.
It also Mentions some intresting things about Taihaku and the Forest
of Pain. It says that only Taihaku and Haseo were able to clear
the event , and that Taihaku got a special sword for beating it.
Guess what? Haseo also got something, he went from like level 17ish to level
133, and he skipped his second form and went right to his third form. Hence
he became the Terror of Death and began his hunt for Tri-edge.

Also I should mention that although these people don't have it all right
they are getting close to the truth, kinda hit and miss:

-Endrance is one of the .Hackers, Haseo is not. Endrance was called Elk
back then.
-The powers of the Avatars users does have something to do
with the .hackers. But not directly.
-About the character creation and IDS. Part of that is true. When
Haseo made his character, he designed it correctly and his personality/spirt
fit correctly for him to use the character that CC Corp. made in their past
project. And so Haseo recived Skeith inside his character right from the
beginning. So partly that theroy was true.
-In a way. Avatars are cheats. Yet at the same time cheating in the
tournaments
was nessacary.If it ever got out that Haseo was cheating......things would
get
very bad for him. I mean we're talking everyone who's become his fan would be
very dissapointed at him cheating. CC Corp. would proabaly be required to ban
him from the game. And if that happened, not only would he become "The
World's"
most wanted cheater; it would also seriously cripple his effort to save Shino.
----------------------------------

When you're done log-in.

As you start to log-in you see a scene with Atoli and Sakaki.
I know I know, Honestly if I had it my way I wish it
was a real online game so I could make a character and drive a sword through
Sakaki's heart myself........but I cant.

Head over to Mac Anu.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Head for the harbor, get on the boat and talk to the NPC captian.
Notice a glitch in the game, if you chose to talk to the captian
NPC, it will say "Congrats on your victory in the demon Palace".
When it should be the Holy Palace. ha-ha. =P
Watch the scenes and Enjoy.
--------------------------
-----31)Isle of Kings, Hy Brasail ---------
--------------------------

You see some scenes where you recieve the 2nd best set of
dual swords in vol 2. When you're turned lose, walk around
and talk with everyone.

--
As you go down the stairs you will see: Sakubo, Endrance, Silabus,
Gaspard, Sirius, Kuhn, Gabi,Antares (Antares gives you his member address),
and as far as I can tell 6 random people you ussaly see running around town.
They're characters are radom but no matter who they are, they always say
the same things each time you play the game.

Also you need to talk with:

Taihaku- Down the left set of stairs (facing the top of them)
Also a side note on Taihaku- This is just a rumor and hasnt
been confirmed, but some people like me think he might possibly
be Bu****g from the original games.

2 random people from town-near the docks general area

Pi- By the lamp pole near the docks.

Piros the 3rd- .........same place as last time. Out on the docks.
--

Anyway, afterward you will see some scenes where the $hit hits the fan.
When done come back and read more.

Ok, so looks like something just blew up in Moon Tree's @home. Haseo's been
called upon to help out at the request of Zelkova. Time to answer the call.
Head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Use the warp point and get over to the Chaos Gate.

When you get there warp to Moon Tree's Head Quarters.

As you attempt to warp you will be denied. You see some scenes then you
give Pi the Key Item "O-Van01". Then she takes off for Master Yata. She
'says' that he will make a key to get into the small scale AIDA sever.

She also says that she'll send you an e-mail when everything is ready.

For now log-out.

Anywho, as you log-out you see some scenes with Yata and I dont know
what he's up to but I get the feeling it isnt exactly good.

Check the official forums. Some stuff about Moon Tree.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Yata : Route
Short version: Basicly you can Hack your way into Moon Tree via
a back door. You need to collect some data seeds first tho.
----------------------------------

check the News and Boards.

----------------------------------
-News- :
Short version: Awesome Artice on you....thats right An articel about
Haseo's amazing wins in the arena...
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: People just talking about you again, lol.
----------------------------------

Ok log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Before you go off chasing those Data Seeds; you my friend


have some work to do. There's two things on the list that
need to be done.

1) Collect Adler's keys and Unlock the Lost wepaons.


2) Level up to level 90.

Well, lets get on with the to-do list.

----------------------------
1) Collect Adlers Keys, est.
----------------------------
The fastest way to get all the keys you need is to warp over to Dol Dona.
You should be around level 82-84 for this. Go to this area:

Dejected, Wrath's, Camellia

This area is level 89, which is kinda strong for you, but none the less.
The path I give you will make it so you can avoid monsters and still
get all the Adler's keys you need.

-As you enter the area there will be a bridge near by leading to the beast
temple. Cross the bridge. As you cross you will see an Adler's key. Pick it
up. You should get 4 of them at your current level. Then Move toward the
beast
temple. Keep the Beast temple on your right and the Hill near by on your left
move forward until you see another Adler's key. Pick it up and you should
get another 4. Next Turn left and move along the shore line (while
keeping the hill on your left.) Move along that way and when you turn
the corner you will see two more sets of Keys.

All told you will get 16 keys everythime you visit this area. Just do that
over and over again till you have all of them you need. (100 keys)

Make sure to keep a few smoke screnes with you to run from fight as
this area is pretty strong at your current level. And it has to be that
ways or else you wont get as many Adler's keys everytime you pick
them up.

I suggest getting ALL the keys you need right off the bat, it only
took me about 10-20 minutes to get them all. Doing this is certianly
a good idea.

--Here's the amounts of keys you need and for what weapon.
Note that if you dont have the correct person in your party for the
correct weapon, you will not be able to unlock their weapon. when
you go to fight the monster.

Also note that Atoli isn't avalible to join your party


so you can't get her staff right now.
But you can get everyone else's weapons.

Name--------weapon----# of keys
Haseo's Scythe: Done
Atoli's Staff: 10 keys
Kuhn's Gun: 15
(Can Not Be unlocked)
Sakubo's Grimoire 30
Endrance's Blade 25
Pi's Gauntlets 20

Total Keys needed: 100

When you go to fight the various boss monsters. Make sure


that 1) you have the right person in your party, and 2) Remember
to use Divine Awakening. As soon as you can, use it,and it will KO the
boss monster. Good luck.
----------------------------------------

When you finially have all the keys, and you've beaten all the Monsters
and there-fore got all the Lost Weapons (except Atoli's and the other
person you dont know yet and wont be available till the next game)
Note: you may need to level up to level 90 before you beat the
monsters guarding Endrance's and Sakubo's weapon.
----------
2)Level up to lvl 90
----------
You need to reach level 90. I know you might not want to do this
but you really should as it will save you time and energy later.

I suggest taking Pi and Kuhn along and using them to level up.
Reach level 90.

When you Finially reach level 90 You should save.

The last thing you should consider is keep your eyes open for the next
weapons upgrades. You Probably wont need all this for now. But eventually
you will, note that some of these weapons (Haseo) are too high leveled for
now.
Don't worry just keep you eyes out for them.
-----Haseo:
-Lvl 91 Twin Swords- Get from crowning cermony
-Lvl 92 Broad sword- Rare drop from Gimmik Tourch (lvl 88-89ish fields)
or lvl 90-100 field boss.
-Lvl 93 scythe- Trade with Alkaid or Buy at Guards guild shop.

-Lvl 90 Heavy armor: find in lvl 90-100fields or trade for.


-Lvl 95 Acccessory: Find in lvl 90-100 fields or trade for.

-----Pi:
-lvl 75 Gauntles: Lost weapon
-Lvl 84 Light Armor: fields or trade for.
-Lvl 75 or 95 Acccessory: Find in fields or trade for.

----Kuhn:
-lvl 75 Gun: Lost weapon
-Lvl 84 Light Armor: fields or trade for.
-Lvl 75 or 95 Acccessory: Find in fields or trade for.

----Endrance:
-lvl 75 Sword: Lost weapon
-Lvl 84 Light Armor: fields or trade for.
-Lvl 75 or 95 Acccessory: Find in fields or trade for.

You need most of this stuff for Pi,Kuhn,and Endrance now.


And Even Haseo's lvl 90 armor ,but Haseo's weapons can wait
till later.

When ready, then head out to collect more data seeds.


Add Pi and Kuhn to your party if they aren't allready
in your party, and head for the next area.

----------------------------
-------32)Discerning, Neighboring, Vampire-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Dungeon
Area Level:78
Party: Haseo, Pi, Kuhn
My Level: 90

You will pwn this whole area if you've done what I told
you to do in the guide.

(Note that when you're in a dungeon, Adler's Keys will now show
up on the area map.)
Use a speed charm and Fairy Orb to get around quickly.

B1: Has no AIDA. Avoid monsters and head for the next floor.
You can use the warp point to take a short cut.

B2: Just head for the warp point on the Center east side fo the map.
Use and and head for the next floow.
B3:Head for the Center East side. The AIDA is at the end of the
dead end path.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Helen>
My Level: 90
Enemy Attacks:

Normal Shot: Release little balls of energy at you. Doudge or slash


through it.

Pascal Bullet: Flick away with slash.

Lisp Tackle: AIDA charges you, dash to avoid.

Prolog Laser: trys to shoot you will a broad side shot.


Dash to avoid.

This fight is pretty easy compared to other AIDA.


Pound away with shots till it stuns move in for slashs. Easy kill.

Once it protect breaks, charage and fire DD. It's easy to hit.
----------------------------------------

When done, Just back track to B2 and use the Warp point at
the ramp to the next floor. Or just continue to the beast statue.
Either way just head back when you're done.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

As you get back Pi says Yata will e-mail you. Log-out and check the
mail.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Yata : Attack
Short version: Says the Tri-Edge sign at Hidden Forbidden Inheat will take
you
to Moon Tree's @home.
----------------------------------

Great. Log-in

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Save and then Head out. It's time to clean this mess up.
----------------------------
-------33)Hidden, Forbidden, InHeat-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Landscape/ Lost Ground
Area Level: None
Party: Haseo,Kuhn, Endrace
My Level: 90

Ok I'll quickly explain the method to my maddness of making


you get all the Lost weapons and then leveling up to level 90.
The reason is that in the upcomming area you won't have a healer
with you (Atoli, Pi, Gaspard, or Sakubo). So you need to be strong
enough so that you simply don't need a healer. Plus after this area
you will be getting close to the end of the game at which point you
need to be atleast level 93.

Go to the Sign and then Chose to warp.

As you warp the company big shot shows up and starts talking
to Yata. Apperentally Yata isnt keeping on their good side enough
and the big wigs are getting uneasy.

(I smell trouble in the future)

-----------------------
-----Setting,Eterinty's,Night Moon------
-----------------------

Ok, you enter Moon Tree and the place has gone to He((.

Lets get to the bottom of this mess.......

And as you're about to jump right into the middle of things....


Nala of all people show up.....hmmmm. Well, At least it'll be
good to have him on your side for whats comming up. You're going
to need allies where you're going......

Head inside and use the warp point........The come back and continue.

Yep, denied yet again....anyway it looks like that Warp point isnt working.
It seems all the others are but not that one. Great.

Looks like we're taking the long way around.


Head straight forward. To the newly avilable door.

1st Block: You need to find two parties of players and


defeat them to move on. Use a Fair orb in each new block from now
on.

Go to the First split, take a left to the cross roads.


One party is on the left and one on the right.
Straight forward takes you to a dead end. Head back the way
you came to continue.

2nd Block: This one is straight forward. Look for all


foru parties of enemy players and finish them off.
The continue. About half way through the block you'll see
a save point....intresting little thing. use it if you want to
but you're so high leveled compared to anything here you'll just
pwn it to death.

As you start to leave the 2nd block you'll run into Matsu. And he even
tho he's sane he refuses to let you past without a fight.....oh man.
That sucks, I really liked him too. Well no choise but to fight.

3rd Block: Again, this block is more or less straight forward too.
In Fact you dont even need to hunt down parties of enemies.

4th Block: You have another group of players to hunt in this block.
Get to it: This place can be kinda confussing so I'm gana
make a neat little map to help you out if you can't seem to figure out
what goes where.

Key:

(#)=warp point
(*)= End warp point
Svpt= Save point

[] = Room
- = Hall way.

----------------------------

{Exit]---[ ]--[]-[svpt(6)]

[(2)] [(3)] [(4)]


| |
{Enter}-[(1)] [(5)] [(*)]

----------------------------

Directions:

-Warp point 2 => room with Warp point 3 which has enemy players in it.
-warp point 3 => room with warp point 4 Which has enemy players in it.
-Warp point 4 => Room with warp point 6 which has enemy players in it.

This will get you through the maze and to the next block.
And as you leave, you meet yet around unit leader....
this time its......AHHH!

*Vomits on computer screen*

...........Hiiragi.

And yes you have to fight him.....kick his @$$....wait, no...not right....
so not right......brain melting......AHHHHHH!!!!!

Afterward some scenes with him and Endrance....you know maybe they should
just be happy together and have En stop hitting on Haseo........

Head to the next and last block.

5th Block:

This place is REALLY confussing. I'll do my best to map it out.

Key:

(#)=warp point
(*)= End warp point
Svpt= Save point

[] = Room
- = Hall way.

-----------------------------------------

[ ]-[]-{Exit}

[(*1)]-[]-[(2)]

{Enter}-[(1)] [(5)(6)] [(3)(4)]

[(*5)]---[(7)]

Note:
(3) is west of white warp pt.
(4) is North of white warp pt.

(5) is Directly south of white warp pt.


(6) is South AND West of White Warp pt.

-------------------------------------------

Dirctions:

{Enter} room has enemies.


Room with Warp pt (1) has enemies and => Room with warp pt (*1) (has enemies)
(2) => room with (3) and (4)

(3) => Room with (5) and (6)
(5) => Room with (*5) and Has enemies
(6) => Room with (1)
(7) => Room with (3) and (4)
----

When done save and head toward the finial area.

As you start toward the exit Guess who show's up. None other
then Moon Tree's Ninja's: Sophora and gang.

Well once they're taken care of that; its on to the thrown room.
You may or may not want to back track a little and use
the save point. After being told that this is the point of
no return,Continue on. We got work to do.

After you continue you will find youself in a very weird place.
It's a white hall way. Take a look and then come back and read.

Ok you got a good look at it and I aussume you can hear the voices.
No you're not going crazy. Anyway this place is weird, you have three
such halls to travel through before you can reach the thrown room.

I like to Call these the Halls of Memories.

After you get through all three you will see an area with some school
desks....and Atoli?! Watch all these scenes and when you're ready to fight
come back and we'll re-cap/ Prepare for the battle.
You see some cut scenes where you see Atoli's Memories. It's a sad
story..........One that's too common. So sad. And then it jumps to
a CG Movie.

--------------------------------
Movie- 14-New World order-
Short Version/Main points: AIDA forces Atoli to Awaken as an Epitaph user.
--------------------------------

Sakaki reveals he plans to use the power of AIDA to control the online
network and through that control everything connected to the Net.......Which
is like everything: Stores, Stocks, the Military, people who are online;
anything and everything.

And Considering how powerful AIDA is it'd be like a new super Virus with a
mind of its own ,and can control people. In other words.....if he could
control
AIDA, he might just get away with it......

YEAH RIGHT!!! Not if Haseo has anything to say about it.

1st part
-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Innis
My Level: 90
Enemy Attacks:

Normal Slash: She'll pull out her two swords and slash once then stab: dash
to avoid.

Normal Shot: She releases small balls of energy at you. Slash through or dash
to
avoid.

Mirrage of Deciet: This doesnt really have a name but Atoli yells "Why wont
you
look at me!" then turns into a mirrage and starts to come at you. You have
to dash to avoid this. Then she yells, "No one ever looks at me!"
She will then have auto stun inflicted on her. Land some good slashs.

Stragedy: Shoot like crazy.......If you land enough hits after she shoots at
you
you may be able to stun her.

About half way through the battle you see some more scenes.
------------

--------------------------------
Movie-15 - consume Him!
Short Version/Main points: Fricking AWESOME Avatar battling scenes.
Watch and Enjoy.....also note that AIDA is reacting to the presence of
the Avatars. He also says, "It's just as he said it would be......."
That beggs the question: Who's HE???

Anyway, Yeah AIDA wants the Epitaphs because like Sakaki said, they're
the 8 keys to the net. Kinda like one Avatar is like 1/8th of an online
"god" that has power to do anything.
--------------------------------

Continue the Fight.

2nd part
-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Innis
My Level: 90
Enemy Attacks:

Normal Slash: She'll pull out her two swords and slash one then stab, dash
to avoid.

Normal Shot: She release small balls of enery at you. Slash through or dash
to
avoid.

Mirrage of Deciet: This doesnt really have a name but Atoli yells "Why wont
you
look at me!" then turns into a mirrage and starts to come at you. You have
to dash to avoid this. Then she yells, "No one ever looks at me!"
She will then have auto stun inflicted on her. Land some good slashs.

Confusion Flight: Atoli will go combo crazy and start flying around like
a sword rocket. You got to hit back with Slash 3 times when she gets near you.

Data Drain: She'll charge up and fire on you, nothing to do but smash buttons
to break free from it.

-Stragedy: Shoot like crazy.......If you land enough hits after she shoots at
you may be able to stun her.

When she finially protect breaks you got one shot to hit her before she does
confusion flight, and if she does you'll have far less of a chance to hit her.
If you miss in the first shot then keep Data Drain charged until she stops,
the
second she does. Fire away.
------------

--------------------------------
Movie-16 - Innis
Short Version/Main points: Sakkai gets pi$$ed cause you
runied his plans....ahhhh, too bad. Anyway end result is you
seperated Atoli from the AIDA that had infected her. You know
I'd say she's the only one to come that close to being comsumed
by AIDA more then once.
--------------------------------

Anyway, Sakaki being the coward he is....he runs away....well then


just have to hunt his sorry @$$ down and teach and a good gosh darn
lesson the hard way....Namly a Broad sword to his face.

Anyhow, watch the scenes and when things die down and you get control
of Haseo again, Come back and we'll move on.

Well, looks like the nice old man Nala really turned out to be the liein
B@$tard Yata....of course he'd probably just take that as a compliment too.
Anyway, some touching scenes there with Atoli.

In the mean time Yata is looking for Sakaki. Time to log-out and
see if there's any news on his where abouts.

Head to the warp point and move to the main area. Then to the platform
to head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Don't bother heading to Dol Dona yet, just log-out.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Yata : Urgent
Short version: He wants you to come to the Serpent of
Lore.

Head to the serpent of Lore.

As you enter watch the scenes. when done you can try your hand at the
Avatar battles on the Serpent of Lore's simulator. But I bet your itching
to get on with things....alright then lets go.

Warp over to Dol Dona.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Ok, Now before you go running off you're presented with a tough
choise to make.

Allow me to explain. As you may have guessed you are quickly


coming to the end of the game. It won't be much longer now.

Also, you may have noticed you are nearing the level cap of
lvl 100. And you may remember those nice weapons you saved in
your guild storage. So here's the situation.
For the finial battle you will need to be lvl 93-100.

See I've played this game several times now. The finial
Boss is not where Sakaki is, but the finial battle will happen soon
after you confront him.

I tried the finial battle at lvl 90 and I died. I tried again at level 100
and beat it really easily. So I did it again at level 95
and found out that it wasn't too hard or too easy.

So, I suggest that you go out and gain just 3 levels right now. Why? You
ask. Because the Scythe Alkaid had that you got off her is level
93, the 2nd best broad sword in the game is level 92 and the set
of twin blades you got from the crowning cermony for being an
Arena Emporor are level 91.

That's why, because if you don't use them now, you proabaly
won't get much use out of them.....

So go out to a random level 94 Field and level up 3 levels.

Before you do that tho, Go get Atoli's Lost Weapon Staff.

----------------------------
--Random)Protected, Illusion's, Two Wings-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 94
Party: Haseo,Pi, Atoli
My Level: 90

Make sure to set Pi from 'Life' to 'Rage' or 'Free will' under the
stragedy menu. You have Atoli and She'll watch the health levels.

--------

When you get back, head out for the new area.....time to pay Sakaki his Dues.

Also I want you to know. In the area and the place that follows. Events
will happen that will alter your view of how this story has been told to
you. In other words if you didnt cheat by looking stuff up on youtube
or didnt read any Forums about it, or look it up on Wiki. Then you
should be in for some major suprises.

----------------------------
-------34)Thinking, Innocent, Life -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Tower Dungeon
Area Level: 81
Party: Haseo, Pi, Atoli
My Level: 93

You need to clear out the monsters on each floor to be able to


move on.

Tips about Traps:

-When you approch a ramp leading to the next level you may
here a "Bang", followed by rocks comming at you.
To counter this, just walk barly far enough to trigger the rocks.
retreat to the room you were just in and the rocks will dissapear
at the door way.

-Spinning blades on floors: Just time it right and dart through


when you get a chance. Most of the blades have like 3 fast blades
then one slow. So it gives you chance to get through.

Good luck.

F1: 3 parties of monsters to beat, easy stuff.


F2: More monesters to kill to remove the barrier, easy.
F3: Grab the beast statue treasue befroe you jump through the
tri-edge sign.

Also, make sure your ready to fight. Set your main weapon to
your Broad sword. It works best for the up comming fight.

Go ahead and jump throgh the sign.

--------------------------------
Movie-18 - Interdiction
Short Version/Main points: Show's Ovan stepping infront
of the Azure Knights.....Wait a second....why are they here?
And wait, Where the heck did Ovan come from?
Hmmmm....well.
Then his arm case comes off, but you dont get to
see whats inside........yet.
--------------------------------

-------------------------------------
------------Hidden, Forbidden, Dragonbien--------------
-------------------------------------

Approch the end of the walk way to trigger the sweet scenes and
a fight with Sakaki......
Dont come back after this till all the movies/scenes are done.

Other then that not alot to say other then good luck.....
....Well I supose I could make some quick comments=>

---------
At this point I'm going to leave you and you're going to
have to take care of yourself for a little while.
Just make sure you did eveything I told you to and you should
be fine.

Make sure you enjoy the #1 best scenes in the WHOLE GAME!!!!

They really are good. So good luck and when all the scenes are over
I'll be glad to share will you some of my knowledge about what just
took place. Again, Hope you enjoy the scenes that alter the storyline
for the rest of the series........
--------

Well, now. I'd say that alot of $hit just happened......

--------------------------------
Movie-19 - Self Infection
Short Version/Main points: Sakaki Infects himself with AIDA,
at which point you face off with him.
--------------------------------

The Ovan shows up and tosses Haseo his gift for beating
Sakaki.....Tri-Edge's Arm??? WTF??!!!

--------------------------------
Movie-20 - True Enemy
Short Version/Main points: And then it happens....you
see the true Idenity of Tri-Edge.....Ovan pked Shino?!
WHAT!!!!???? So basicly you've been chasing a ghost
this whole time trying to get your hands on the wronge
guy......great.

So anyway, this really brings up some intresting points.


1) Ovan was lying to you the whole time.....
2) Remember back in Vol. 1 I told you that everytime
Ovan's Glasses turned orange/red that something he was
lying or planning something shaddy? Yeah...now you know
why.
3) You've been chasing the wronge guy for 2/3 of the series.
4) Why did Ovan do all the stuff he did, why would he
pretend to be Friends to Shino and Haseo and then Pk her.
Why Would he make everything so hard for Haseo? WHY!!!!?

You want the answers? then you're just going to have to


go find him and beat the answeres out of him.

through it.

Dash to avoid.

This fight is pretty easy compared to other AIDA.

Once it protect breaks, charage and fire DD. It's easy to hit.
----------------------------------------

As you get back to town Pi will be waiting, after some


talk she gives you the last data seed you need to make it
to Megin Fi and to Ovan.

Great.

Well Ladies and Gents. Out time together is comming to a close rather quickly.
aside from what I am about to cover.

If you feel you need a break before rushing off to finish the game;
I suggest relaxing by taking part in the Arena's regulare battles.
Have some fun and go solo against the level 100 parties.

If you've managed to come this far I'm willing to bet you could handle the
finial battle with out my help....but; Being that this is an indepth
walkthrough guide I supose I can offer my advice for preparation.

-----------------------------
--Preparing for the Final Battle-
-----------------------------

Ok, Lets gets some stuff out of the way.

1) Finishing all of the Optional quests from the Quest Shop is a good idea
because you will get items that boost you stats.
2) Go and look at my Doppleganger section. By completing the directions
in that section you will be able to gain the best weapons for Haseo in the
game. And they are very useful. In fact they are so good I consider them
cheats for this game.

Ok with that out of the way we can talk about some other stuff.
There are 3 main things you need to do before you fight the finial
battle.

1) Who's going to be in your party?

Really anyone can go with you for this battle. But of course
some choices are better then others. When it comes right down
to it you get to pick. But the reason you need to chose is cause
that decides what equipment you need to get.

For me. I personally suggest Atoli and Kuhn.

However, if your really feeling brave and you want


a really good challenge: Go Solo. Yes that's right. Go solo.

2) Get equipemnt. This is up to you. I'll list all of the


items and stuff I suggest. But again. Finial battle, you
chose exatly what you want. I'll sort everyone by Class.

3) Last thing on the list is level: What level


do you want to be for the finial battle?

I tried it 3 different times.

-lvl 90: I don't remember if I actually got a game over or not.


But I do recall it being pretty difficult.

-Lvl 95: I thought this was just right. Not too hard, not too easy
either.

-Lvl 100: Too easy. I went in and killed him pretty fast.

-At least level 93 if you're going to try and go solo.

Well there it is. That's all the Advice I can give you
before you actally fight the battle.

Looks like it's time to end this.


Save, then head off (either with a party or going solo).

----------------------------
-------37)Hidden, Forbidden, BattleField-------

Area Type: Landscape/ Lost grounds
Area Level: None

My Level:95

Insert the last two data seeds into the pillars. The center of the
circle with the Tri-Edge sign will light up. Go up to it
and chose to warp.

----------
-----Megan Fi------
----------

This place is beautiful for lack of a better word......

Well when you're done looking around go up to


the door at the top of the stiars and enter the battle with Ovan.

You'll see some scenes where Ovan talks to you about why he did all the
things
he did. But he's not making a whole lot of sence to Haseo. All Haseo hears is,
"Yes, I pked Shino." And at that point Haseo doesn't seem to pay attention to
anything else Ovan says.

Anyway, you end up fighting Ovan becasue he's all like,


"Haseo. You Must destroy me!"

.....OK? Aren't bad guys ussally like, 'I'm gana kill you.' ,Not=>
'Please kill me.'

Come on, Ovan is a mysterious guy, but he's not insane. So why on earth does
he need Haseo to kill him? Doesn't make sense.
I mean he says that everything he did to Haseo was part of a process. So that
Haseo would become strong so that he could one day (on this day) destroy Ovan.
But WHY!?

Well anyway. Ovan wants to die, so lets grant him his wish.
---------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Ovan
My Level: 95
Enemy Attacks:

Ovan likes to do a nice fancy combo where he slashs,then a low cut spin
that knocks you in the air followed by a huge blast to the face with
his gun. Normally you could just hold the block button, escept his last
blast is a charge shot which breaks your guard.
To get around this, try to stay away from him as much as possible
while in the second half of the battle. When the Black orbs pop up to
heal Ovan, Use Reaper's touch then quickly retreat to a safe distance.

The second thing Ovan likes to do is charge up this fricking huge mass
of energy and then fire it at you like a huge cannon.....yeah thats not cool.

Stragedy:

For the first half of the battle,Use your twin swords,


OVan will just kinda stand there and let you beat on him.
The second half of the battle is marked by a combo
move where he picks up Haseo with his AIDA arm and tosses
him around like a rag doll.

After that, things get messy.

Regardless of if you go solo or with a party, the best weapon


to use in this part of the battle is your scythe. Ovan will summon little
spheres (one of his special abilites, vetrans: think back to finial
battle at the end of Quaratine, the last fight with the 3rd form of the
8th phase)
Anyway, these spheres will do vaious things like cast magic, status
aflictions, put a shield around him and heal Ovan. None of those are
good,but especially when those things heal Ovan and put a shield around him
till you kill the spheres. That just means a harder battle. When he summons
the shperes, use your arts: 'Reaper's Touch' to take them out
quickly.

Solo-
Keeps and eye one your health, when it gets low, use your best healing
items. Hopefully you Have the Doppleganger's weapons for this fight and
that will help cause it will absord HP and Sp to Haseo. Just pound away.
Use you best skills you got.

With a Party-
Have your healer concentrate on keeping you alive. You and
your tank character, pound away until he dies.
-----------------------------------

About half way through the boss fight, or I should say when you've almost
killed him. Ovan transforms avatar style. Yes, if you havn't guess
already, Ovan is the 8th and finial phase.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Corbenik
My Level: 95
Enemy Attacks:

-Normal Shot- He reachs to his AIDA arm and throws needles at you.
Use you slash and hack through them with one slash, not a combo.

-Variant Summon- Ovan will summon lesser AIDA's. These will die
in just one slash. Dash in close and kill them quickly before they
attack. You will ussally have two groups. 3 on one side and 2 on the
other.

-Clinch Needle- Ovan makes a huge ball of needles and flings it at you.
Slash through it with your scythe.

-Devil's verdict- This is alot like the Azure Flame god's "Azure Wild Flower".
In other words...Dash like crazy and DONT GET HIT WITH THIS!!!!!

-Fearful Visitor- He unleashes a combo of slashing attacks, dash to avoid.


you should be able to stun him right after this attack aswell.

-Data Drain- Near the end of the battle when Corbenik's HP starts getting
low. Ovan's AIDA arm will take control of Ovan's Avatar and it will Unleash
Data Drain on you......hmm that intresting. If AIDA took control of OVan's
ability to Data Drain. IS it possible that, if the AIDA ever got stronge
enough to break out of the case on Ovan's arm, could it force him to PK
someone with Data Drain????

hmmmm.......

Stragedy:

Relax guys. I know whats running through your head: "Not another fight
as bad as Azure Flame god."
lol, it's not nearly that bad. Ovan is alot easier to beat. And you don't
even need to be at the level cap :level 100, to do it.

You know, Corbenik kinda looks like Skeith's first form you know? differnt
colors and the head design is differnt, but all around it's more or less
the same. Thats not a Bad thing, I think it's cool. The 1st Phase and the
8th phase look alike. Kinda Ironic......

--Advice:
When ovan does "Devil's verdict" He will charge you. Doudge and as he goes
past he will leave his back open to attack. Fire as many shots as you can and
if you get enough in you have a good chance of stuning him. When he does stun
dash in for some slashs. Also, he will do this attack several times in a row.
You can only stun him after the last attack he attemps.

Eventually Corbenik will protect break. When he does he'll pull an


Azure Flame god on you and start firing like crazy trying to keep you
from fully charging data drain. Well, just hold down the X button and
just consentrate on doudging needles that are getting flung at you.
Out of the corner of your eye, keep watch on Corbenik, and when he stops,
Just for barly a second, Aim and fire Data Drain at him.

---------------------------------------------------------

well Congrats. You beat the game. Watch the finial scenes as Ovan
begins to dissapear, like the Lost Ones, And before he goes he says,
"This isn't the death I've been wishing for. It was too soon after all."

Then some scenes where Yata magicly shows up.


And Finially some comments from our hero who is tired out and lost.....

Watch the credits.....well part of them anyway.


Come back when you see Icolo and Taihaku.

to be a good reason for Haseo to take on the Saga Palace

Also If you look under the 'Nation" subtopic, you will see
a toipic about Online Jack is really starting to take some heat for
what they were saying about "The World" in their new broad cast.
And other legal crap that they're throwning at them.
Too bad that what they were saying is ....oh I dunno...TRUE!!!!
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: There's some topics about Salvador.
And A very Intresting topic ,called 'my first time' about a player
called: Kazubolo. And you'd never guess who his real life player is....
Want to find out. Then do as I say.

1) Go to the Dol Dona Junk Shop. He's there. Talk to him.


Then log out and read the topic about him again, new replies.
2) Go to the back of the Arena in Lumina Cloth, back where the
black market is. Talk to him then log-out, read topic
again. Finially.
3) Go to back alley in Mac Anu. Talk to him and you find
out who his real life player is. He gives you a desktop image.
----------------------------------

Alright then, With all that enjoyable stuff done. Time to


get to work on the extra stuff that's left to do before
you play the third and finial game of the series: //Redemption

---------------
---------------- 1)Normal Quests ---------------
---------------

Most of these Quests can be completed fairly early on in the


game, You can do ALL of these if you are at level 75.

Note that there are a number of these that you must do to


advance the story line. Hence you will find a number of these
quest explained through out the Walk through. However
I do not cover quests 4,6,and 8. In the story. Although I suggested
that you do them after the final round in the tournament when you
are about level 75.

List of Normal Quests:

1) Steam Scientist's Test


2) The Cat Smiles Silently
3) The Silent Chim
4) Gathering Shadow
5) Seeker of Karma
6) Masquerade
7) Challenge from the Goblins
8) Mushroom Hunting
---------------------------( Quests )-------------

-----1)Steam Scientist's Test


----------------------------
------- Airy,Engine's, waltz (Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 48
Party: Haseo,Silabus, Gaspard
My Level: 51

Apperentally in this quest you have two robots who have gone berserk.
You need to beat them in battle and get their memory back to the good
Doctor. He gave you 3 items that when placed on three differnt hills, will
lower the fighting abilities of the robots. Well, looks like we got some work
to do.

First, head to the area.

Baicily there are only three hills, use your steam bike to get around quickly.
Also, make sure to grab the various chests that are in the are. Other then
that, thee's not alot to say about it other then the fight. Just continue on
when you've planted all three.

--Oh yeah, one more thing. I know this is kind of an odd place to put this
but.
You may notice that the speed type of Broad sword isn't all that Speedy. I've
noticed it is actually slower the the Hold and Release type of sword. But
there is a trick you can use to speed the combo up and make it less annoying
to use. When you go to attack Haseo will swing once. Then he will thrust the
sword at which point you smash the X botton to get as many hits as you can.
The problem is Haseo is slow to recover and set up for the next Attack. So
what you do is that as you come to the end of Smashing the X button after the
Thrust, Press the circle button. He'll go into a guard, let the button go
and it sets you up faster for another combo. Try it and see what I mean.

Rain and Cload:

Being that your level 51 and you just planted all three items, use your
twin swords and beat them to a pulp. When you're done they'll combine into
one big robot. Beat them again and you'll have completed the quest.

-----2) The Cat Smiles Silently


----------------------------
------- Standing, Calming, Western (Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type:Field
Area Level: 50
Party: Haseo,Alkaid, Gaspard.
My Level:53

As you enter the area you get pwned by the White Malice Cat. Which
kinda sucks. I mean you HP has been cut in half. So really the trick to
this area is not fighting as much as possible. Use your steam bike to
get around quickly. If you look at the map you will notice that the area
is set up in more or less a straight line. At the end you will see a hill
that does not have an alter on top, this hill is where the Malice cat is
located. Now go and get there. Also, you'll probably have to fight at least
the party of monsters guarding the hill.

When you get there get ready to kick. This thing is fast. Try to get it
cornered, and give it three kicks in a row. It will yield and you will
finish the quest and get a text of power.

----- 3)The Silent Chim


----------------------------
------- Wonderful, Opaque, Vin Beast(Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Cave
Area Level: 65
Party: Haseo,Gaspard,Silabus
My Level: 66

Time to figure out whats been knocking off the chims.

As you enter and walk forward a bit, You'll notice the place seems
to be missing something......

At anyrate, head for the next floor down.

On the second floor, you need to start heading for the top right corner
of the map, it looks like nothing is there, just a dead end. Well you're
right in thinking so.

As you start heading there, you'll come to a square room where you
can go east or west, not obviously you'll go east cause I told you
to (top right corner). There's two parties of monstes here, kill
both before you move on.

As you get near that top right corner room,


you'll hear some laughing, now you just have to back track to the
larg-ish square room back a ways where you killed those two
parties of monsters. Bascily just re-trace your steps
going back toward the ramp that will take you back up one floor
and you'll have to pass through the correct room.

And you discover a one of a kind, Assassin Dad. Now then, all you got to
do is kick it 3 times in a row. Good luck.

You'll report in, end of quest.

-----4) Gathering Shadow
------------------------------
------- Blowing, Sea Sand's, Hot Wind(Q)-------
------------------------------
Area Type: Highland Canyon
Area Level: 53
Party: Haseo, Kuhn, Atoli
My Level: 75

Obviously fighting will not be a problem in this area if you're


level 75.

As you enter head east along the top of the area, use your bike.
When you can, turn south. You will run into the monster you're
hunting.....that was too easy. Fight them and then it runs away.

Give chase and head south.

Head to the West then South and side of the map where you find another
group of shadowless monsters. Fight them and the real one
will retreat.

From here head north to the dead end on the map.

Suddenly a whole bunch of these stupid shadowless monsters pop up


and corner you.....great.

Anyway you got to find the real Dog here as the other are clones. Of
Course me being the retard I am, I over thought the problem when I first
tried this quest and was looking at them very closly to see if there
was a differnce in the way the looked: Markings, Color, number of horns,est.
That Kind of thing. The answer is so Simple that I had over looked it.
The real one is the only one with a shadow.....duh.

-----5) Seeker of Karma


----------------------------
------- Burning, Fallen, Seven Sins(Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Dungeon
Area Level: 54
Party: Haseo,Silabus, Gaspard
My Level:55
Unfortunitly, Haseo starts to revert a little to his ways of being an A-hole.
-B1-
At anyrate, what you need to do is first use a fairy orb to see where your
going. As you look at the map you will note the first floor is split into
three sections, you need to follow each path and warp to the next section
via warp point. Just continue this till you get to B2. Also, in additon
to needing to use the warp points, there are special doors along the way
that will test your knowledge on how well you've paid attention to the
back story of the game; if you answer the questions wronge you will lose
chim spheres. But considering that you're reading this guide
I'm willing to bet you just want me to give you the answeres.
.........So I will.

The first talking door you come to will ask you these questions:
(Note that as far as I can tell the questions are always from the
same doors everytime you play the game. But I'm just saying now
incase they really are random.)

-----
Q1)When the Younger Deity lost his life, what happened with his
last breath?
A1) <-(Steak sauce was made.) (3)"The hevans were created"

Q2) What was the Younger Deity's spirit given afterward?


A2) (1)Cern-U-nnos

Q3) The elves built something in order to be treated


the same as the gods. What did the elves construct?
(come on veterans of old .hack. you know this one)
A3) (2) Air Fortress Fort Ouph
-----
As you continue more scenes where Haseo starts being an A-hole again.

Later you'll run into another talking door, time for more Q and A.
-----
Q1) what were elves turned into?
A1) (1) Beast Men.

Q2) What race did Sol, god of creation, creat using the power taken
from the elves.
A2) Piros the 3rd....not really. (1) Grunties

Q3) What race was jelous of the Grunties power and wisdom?
A3) (2) Humans
-----

Continue to the next floor.

-B2-
As you enter B2 you will notice that there are 2 warp points, one one will
allow you to advance. It's the North one.

Continue onward.

Soon you'll find another talking door.


-----
Q1) What was the name of the creature grunties where turned into?
A1) (2)Puchi pongo

Q2) What did the gods creat to seal the path to hevan?
A2) (3)Morrigu Barrow Wall

Q3) What did the 8 gods do to save the world?


A3) (2) Seal 'Shadows"
----
Continue onward to B3.

-B3-

Well, congrats, no more talking doors. After you enter B3 you will again
see some scenes with Haseo being an A-hole.

Gaspard and Silabus leave your party.

well, for now just head for the beast statue, take a right turn at the
split unless you want some items from breakable objects.

As you approch the beast statue you'll see some scenes where Haseo snaps out
of being an A-hole and gets back to being a good friend and hero.

Afterward, what ever you do...DO NOT open the treasure chest. That would be
very very bad for you. Head back to where you left Silabus and Gaspard.
watch some scenes and then go get the beast statue treasure.

When your done head back to town.

-----6) Masquerade
----------------------------
------- No Face, Infinite, Resident (Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Temple Dungeon
Area Level: 50
Party: Haseo, Kuhn, Atoli
My Level: 75

1st Block: Just head for the 2nd block.

2nd Block: Once you're in the second block take the north path.
It goes up and around top the east.

There are 5 chests along the east side of the map. Only the 3
in the middle are the ones you want. 2 of these three chests are
fakes. The third chest ,regardless of order, the third one will be the
chest you want. After you get the finial chest with the item. Once you get it
you need to retreat to the entrance of the block where the closest Platform
is
that will take you back to town. At this point all the monsters will show up.

Good luck, the monsters aren't all that hard anyway.

-----7) Challenge from the Goblins


----------------------------
------- 12)Pursuing, Expert's Biker (Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Bike Mission Area
Area Level: 69
Party: Haseo,(none),(none)
My Level: 61

Welcome fellow gamers to the Goblin Challenge.


Vetran gamers will recall the pains of playing Goblin Tag from the old games.
Here they have introduced a way to cominded two acpect of the old games:
Goblin tag, and Grunty Racing. What they have done this time is you challenge
the Gold Goblins in a game of Bike Tag, then once you finish the quest you
can
compete in Bike Missions. Which are time attack missions replacing
Grunty Races.

For now let's get on with the Quest:

As you enter the area, walk forward and you will be confronted by the Gold
Goblins. Fun. Instead of facing them seperatly like the old games, you can
take
them all on in one area in one shot. Well, that makes things easier and more
fun.

Now, jump on your bike and move forward, You will be stopped and the match
will
then begin.

-----
1st Round: Haseo, The terror of Death VS Stephoney the Underling.
-----

Ok there is a basic stradgey to doing this. The Idea is that you


have to catch the inside of one of their turns. Basicly the Goblins will
flee from you as you chase them, they will start to turn at some point.
Hopefully they dont turn sharp. The Idea is to get on the inside of their
turn
and keep turning with them. Note that you'll have to be prety close to them
and match their turn pretty closly. So bascily you drive in circles.
Pull harder on the joy stick so you start to turn faster then they do on the
inside of the turn.
Then timing it correctly, you let the joy stick 'out more' and hopefully you
will cut them off in the turn and there for making contact with them there by
winning the round.

-----
2nd Round: Haseo, T.O.D. Vs Jonue the Quick Eater
-----

Same thing as before. Only this time you have to run into him two
time before he'll give in.

-----
3rd Round: Haseo, T.O.D. VS Zyan the Quick Eared & Albert the Quick Sleeper?
-----

Two this time, Both of which you will have to hit twice.
Other then that same thing as before.

------
Final Round: Haseo, T.O.D. VS Martina the Quick Runner
------

She's fast, kinda like some of the lucky animals that use
burst of speed. Other then that just keep hitting her (3 times) and use
the same stragedy as before. Good luck.

Congrats on winning, time to head back.


When you get back to town you'll finish the quest.

-----8) Mushroom Hunting


----------------------------
------- Sticking, Natural, Fungus(Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Cave
Area Level:72
Party: Haseo, Sakubo (Bo), Atoli
My Level: 75

Ok, The first thing about this quest that can be tough is that you have
to have Sakubo in your party when Bo is using the character.
One of the reasons that doing this quest right after the Finial
round in the Tournament and right before the Title Match is a good
idea.

Once you can get him in your party then appect the quest and you should get
ready to head out with Atoli.
unlike the majority of the quests you've done, this one isnt exactly as easy.
The finial fight here can be a little bit of a chalenge, but as long as you
know about it before hand there won't be any suprises and nothing to really
worry about.

As you get to the area set Bo from Life to Rage under the stragedy menue.

B1: Straight forward, head for the next floor down. On your way there you
should run into a group of pkers.....hmmm something is up. Well for now
beat them badly and then continue on. (I should note that the pkers here
are not exactly......well....lets just say that they're no push overs.)

B2: Again as you head for the next floor down, you run into some pkers.
Hmmmm.....this is really weird, what's up with all these pkers being
in one place?

B3: Ok, heading from east to west, go the the dead end room on the
middle west side of the map. Along the way you'll meet another
group of pkers.

Time to find out what's going on. As you read the area with the dead
end you see the find out the reason for all this.

Well Time to have some fun, beat the pker 'boss' twice in a row and
then sit back and laugh at all the funny scenes.

Man Saku is suck a brutal bit*h, I mean come on. Even if he is a loser
he was just trying to figure out what happened to his friends.

When your done head back to town and finsish the quest.
------------------- ------------------- -------------------
------------------- -------------------

Well, that's all of the Normal Quests. I'm going to cover the
Bike Missions seperatly as I consider them Time Attack Races and
seperate from the other Quest Champaigns. And then of course you'll
find my section on those Quest Champaigns after the Bike missions.

----------------
---------------- 2)Bike Missions ---------------
----------------

This setion is also known as the Highway Master quest Champaign. Although
like I have said before I don't really consider this a normal champaign.

First, head over to see Kafu near the @home. He should be right across from
the
warp point. Read what he has to say, then head back to the Chaos Gate.
Open the warp menu, Now set the first part word to 'Passing'.
Now depending on the combinatione of words after that you will get
different types of areas, if you look to see what the Misson for the area
is it will say this: "Bike Mission (Course #)" There are five different
courses. The should be done in a certian order becuase of the level of
difficulty. The order is 4, 3, 5, 1, 2. <- A little tip I got from Skitchell.

So you want to go to an area that is course 4 to start off with.


Now there are some general tips you want to follow, but chances are you
won't really understand what I'm talking about until you try the bike
missions yourself at least once.

So...I suggest these key words: "Passing, Wrath's, Two Wings.

Go here and try the Bike mission at least once or twice, that way
you get a feel for how things work and then I can re-cap and explain
stuff you may or may not have missed.

Ok here's the general rules you need to keep in mind:

1:Generally speaking the fist mission is the hardest because you don't have
any of the rare bike parts yet.
2: Always start off the mission with a charged boost that will save you time,
unless I say other wise. You can perform a charged start boost by doing the
following: as the counter begins to count down from 3, hold the Square and
X buttons at the same time. When the timer hits Zero; release the brake while
still holding the gas.
3: you want to keep the Nirto guage full and in use as much as possible, AKA
the entire time.
4: Keep pressing the R1 (boost) button over and over again the entire time
you race. It's alot easier then trying to guess when your guage is full while
trying to stear aswell. It saves precious seconds you need to win.
5: NEVER go to an area that has Fog in it. Makes it ALOT harder to do this
when it simply doesn't need to be.

Order of missions: 4, 3, 5, 1, 2

------------------------
Bike Trial 4
------------------------

Engine: 170 Engine


Armor: Yamane armor
Muffler: type 500 Muffler
Tires: 150 tires

(Found at Dol Dona Junk Shop)

It's a Canyon Highlands area. I think it's the most annoying mission out of
all of them. There are two ways to do this mission:
Option A:

1: As the counter starts prepare a boost start. Take off and swearve left
into
Chims. Keep hitting the nitro.
2: As you round the corner, try to hit as many chims as you can.
3: Round the corner and just bearly clip the King.
4: Work through the s-curves, be careful and try not to hit the walls
as much as you can.
5: round the corner and hit the chims, keep pressing R1.
6: Round another corner, hit the chims and boost toward the next king.
7: Round the courner and hit the chims while angling toward the last king.

Option B:
1: Do not prepare a boost. When the counter says 'Go!', do a u-turn by
aiming the joystick down and to the left.
2: This part is important. Round the corner and clip the King.
3: Then with out slowing down, get ALL the chims in the first row.
There is just enough to fill the Nitro Guage.
4: Boost as you turn the corner, get as many chims as you can.
5: Through the curves, then through more S curves, and clip the
finial King. Even with a bad time this way turned out faster then the
other way. Which way you do it is up to you.

When you beat Matsu's time, head back to town.


---------------------------------------

------------------------
Bike Trial 3
------------------------
Engine: Kirisame Engine
Armor: Yamane Armor
Muffler: Raging Muffler
Tires: Night Tires

(Did Bike Mission 4 and rewards from Kafu (did 15 runs and 877 chims).

-When you start this mission DONT BOOST. Just press the gass normaly and
bear to the right getting all the chims and filling the boost guage.
AS you start to hit chims keep pressing boost button over and over so
you boost as soon as you can.

- Head straight but bearing slighting to the right. Then as you approch the
first King, stear in quickly so you hit the nest row of chims almost head on.

-After the chims end stear a little to the left. Hit the next group of
chims in the middle to get the most. Follow along the side of the hill.
Soon you'll see the next KING. Hit him and follow the path of chims.

-Take a some what to get up on the hill. Head straigh to the last Chim.

Note: You wont be able to beat the 1st place time if your boost isnt
going the whole time after you trigger it at the very begining. In other
words you have to keep it filled so it can run the whole race.

Good luck.

Make sure to tune up your bike before going out again, and check in with Kafu
to see if he gives you any more stuff.
------------------------
Bike Trial 5
------------------------
Engine: Kirisame Engine
Armor: Yamane Armor
Muffler: Tidal Muffler
Tires: Night Tires

This one is a little tough.

-Charge a boost start. Let go and use your nitro boost as soon as you can.

-Then, take the turn wide as that you hit the KING chim at a 90 degree
angel to the end of the hill. This will allow you to go over the hill
instead of the whole way around.

As you exit the hill make a 90 degree turn to the right.


Gather chims as you go and hit the second KING.

Next, as you aproch the last line of chims from the second king, bear left
and hung the shore line so you angel toward the last kind. Do the same with
the endge of the hill on your right. That angel will take you to the last
king.

------------------------
Bike Trial 1
------------------------
Engine: Kirisame Engine
Armor: Yamane Armor
Muffler: Tidal Muffler
Tires: Night Tires

-As you start follow the chims to the right. Boost ASAP.
- Bear a little to the right as you head for the next King.
-Clip him and hit the two groups of chims on your way to the next King
in the Middle.
-After you ram the next KING head straigh just long enough to hit the
group of CHIMS. Forget the last group and cut the remainder fo the corner
and b-line it for the last KING.

------------------------
Bike Trial 2
------------------------
Engine: Kirisame Engine
Armor: Hagane armor
Muffler: Tidal Muffler
Tires: Night Tires

Last mission.

This one is short but fast and is one of the only missions
that requires are skid turn=>

-As you start off, charge a boost.


-Collect all chims in the first row and hit the king.
-Stear hard left.
-As you are just about to run into the second KING. Cram
the joystick down and hold it very quicky. You will do a u-turn
while running into the 2nd KING.
-After the Side u-turn, chims the group of chims and boost to the end.

Being this race is shorter then the others. There's little room for error.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

After this race you get some cool armor. Also the Tidal Muffler has a special
ability that makes it really hard for monsters to spot you in the field.
Very useful. It's like using a smoke
screen on your bike that lasts forever.

--------------------
---------------- 3)Quest Champaigns ---------------
--------------------

---------------
-- a)Highway Master
----------------

Refer to this section above: b)Bike Missions

--Other then what is listed in that section on


how to complete the differnt tracks;
for this Champaign you must complete:

1: Complete 50 or more Bike trials


2: Collect 3000+ Chims on the tracks

-stragedy:
Go to the differnt bike mission areas and beat them all.
By the time it takes you to get 1st place in
all of those trials you will probably have completed
the above objectives.

------------------
-- b)Stray Mecha Grunty
------------------
For this Champaign you must complete:

1: Help Mecha Grunty 50 times

-Stragedy:
You must go an area or many different areas
and just give chims to Mecha Grunty 50 times.

Try to find an area where Mecha grunty is very close


to where you enter into the area. Fields are good for this.
And just go there over and over and over again till you
get it up to 50 times.

------------------
-- c)Lucky Data Collection
------------------

For this Champaign you must complete:

1:kick up to 50 lucky/unlucky animals.


2: Must kick all types of un/lucky animals at least once.

The lucky animals are alot harder to find in this game. They are no
longer set to one area. EX) IF you go to an area and find say a Gold Bird
is there, there will always be a Gold Bird in that area from then on.

Not so with Vol. 2

Now the lucky animals are based on your partie's average level compared to
the level of the area you are in. The top value along this chart is the
last digit of your party's average level. The Value on the side is the last
digit of the area level. The lucky animal that will be in the area is
determined where those two digits cross in the chart, kinda like the game
Battle Ship. =P

Anyway here's the link to the Chart.


http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/ZeroTheBurninator/walkthrough/lucki.pn
g

This is a chart that allows you to do things the hard way, and Unfortunitly I
found it rather hard to understand and use. There is a better
way but you have to wait till you're level 100.

-Stragedy: Level all your party members to level 100. Then go to Mac Anu.
Go to areas that are level 1-10. The lucky animals on the chart will be there.

-- f)Chase The Bounty
------------------
For this Champaign you must complete:
1: Defeat 50 pkers
2: Defeat all the Black List pkers

--Black List pkers:

Maniac Helluger
Immortal Goriki
Magical Pokotan
Silent TERU
Suzuki of the 7 seas
Wicked Ibaku
Wicked Gerango

Stragedy:
Go to an area where a Battle area (blue energy barrier)
appears right next to where you enter the area. Fields
work best.

Anyway, just keep going to that area over and over and over
again.

Everytime you enter one of those Battle Areas you will encounter
1 of 3 types of fights going on.

Most likly->
1: Pker attacking player
2: Monsters attacking player

Less likly but will still happen->


3: Black list pker attacking player

See 1 and 2 are the most likly what you will find
every time you enter the battle area. However if you keep
going back over and over, eventually you will be able to
find and kill all 7 black list pkers.

----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

well thats it for Quests Champaigns. Personally I ussally


dont even finish most of them. Just enough to get the special
items from them, in order to just barly get my guild rank up.

========================================================
---------------
---------------- 4)HIDDEN QUEST ---------------
---------------
========================================================

Also Known as the Abyss Quest. This is the 2nd and finial part
of this quest.

Many people from the older games may or may not remember the bonus
dungeons. They ussally involved warping to an area, getting through a
dungeon and then finially beating a finial boss. This was done after
the game was completed and could only be done then.

I remember some of those old bosses, and Most of them were harder
to beat then anything that's been thrown at me in this series....except
for maybe the Azure Flame god.....maybe.
Although I have to say this is not an easy boss by any means.
Even if you go prepared you will more than likly still have
a tough fight ahaed of you. Granted this is not as bad as
Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts II. But I'd say its the next hardest thing.

This time around the game creators have included a new type of
bonus mission. Really it's almost more of a side plot then an
actual bonus dungeon. But none the less, I found it enjoyable.

----Getting started:

You may remember near the begining of the game that there was a topic
on the Bords about a really odd NPC character someone saw in a dungeon.
That's where this all starts.

Save First.

Short version: Says that a new quest has been
added to the Dol Dona quest shop. Time to accept
it and get on with one of the game's hardest boss fights.
----------------------------------

Log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Before you head off, read about the preparations first.

ALSO! Before you accept this quest I should comment


on the party members you take with you.
Atoli is amlost an absolute must. Healing will be critical
for this quest and Atoli is the best healer you could have.
Second. I split my opinion between Kuhn and gayros th...Opps, I mean
Piros the 3rd.

Personally I hate Piros, but I can't deny one simple fact. Lord Partizans
Lances are desiged for breaking through armor. And this fight depends greatly
on being able to do just that (as you will see with my equipment set up)

So the choice is up to you, I used Kuhn for this mission the first time I did
it, but thats just me. I going to save and use both Piros and Kuhn and see
what
the difference between them is on how well they did in the fight.
---------------------
Preparations:
---------------------

Ok, you my friend are going to really have to


prepare yourself.

1: I'm going to do this fight at level 95. However if you feel


that being level 100 is a good idea. Then go for it. You'll need
to reach level 100 to do the second part of the quest anyway. But
if you want to do THIS part right now, then I'm not stopping you.
You will however need to be level 92 AT LEAST. NO LESS.

2: You need to find yourself some weapons and customize them


specifically for these up comming fights.

----First go to the Dol Dona Junk shop near the Guild's @home and buy
these weapons materials: Dark Attack x2, and Light Attack x2.

You will also need: Nutcracker (armor peirce) x2, and Shark Tooth x2
(+25% crit. hit)
-Nutcracker: Trade with Sagittarius Crush Sheaf and un-customize it. I know
it might seem like a pain, but this is the fastest way to get them. And you
only need two of them anyway.
-SharkTooth: Dropped by Solid Eye

----You will also need the following Weapons:


Broad Fenlong x2 -Are droped by Grimmik Tourchs, lvl 90-93 areas
Spin Heaven x2 -Dropped by Massacre Mummy –(Galloping, Swift, Two Wings)

--You need to Customize your weapons like this:

Spin Heaven: Light Attack and +25% Crit. Hit


Spin Heaven: Dark Attack and +25% crit. Hit

Broad Fenlong: Light Attack and Armor peirce


Broad Fenlong: Dark Attack and Armor peirce

As for the Scythe I'd just take Ticking Death.

These weapons will be key to beating the upcomming


boss.

3: skill trigger

You're going to need to the following skills set to your skill trigger.

X: Whril Wind
O: Reaper's Touch
Sruare: Schell Breaker
Tri-Angle: Chaotic Strike
4: Atoli needs at least 40 of all the following Items.

Health Drink
Healing Serum
Healing Potion
Sprite Drop
Fairy Drop
Antidote Soda
Blessing Soda
Stimulant Soda
Solution Soda
Esthesio Soda
Revival Medicine

And any other odd and end healing


items (you dont have 40 of)you come across,
That you think might help.

After all of that, Make sure to save,


accept the quest ,and then head to the area.

-----9) Invasion of super Beings


----------------------------
------- Clouding, Invincible, Huge Being(H.Q.) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Cave
Area Level:87
Party: Haseo, Kuhn, Atoli
My Level: 95

I don't know why they had to name this quest that.....


Even I could have come up with a better name, "Shrugs".

Unlike the other dungeons, this one is not short.

B1: Just head for the next floor as fast as you can.

As you start off you will meet a lovly boss monster:


Titan Dead. You can beat him. It's good pratice for
what's comming up next.

B2: Just head from west to East. At the far end at the
dead end you will see the scenes that lead to a Boss fight.

---------------------------------
--------Returning, Invincible, Huge Being-------
---------------------------------
As you enter the area, which is the Dark version of
Hidden, Forbidden, Bulwark (Morrigu Barrow) You will see some
scenes and then.......

The Return of 'THE ONE SIN'.

Pause the game for a second and allow me explain what's going
on to those who didn't have the chance to play the original
series.

-------------------
Vetran gamers of .hack will proabaly reconize this name
quickly.

Back in the days of "The World R1":


The story goes that CC corp. celebrated the release of "The World" with
an event called "The One Sin". Thousands of players attempted the
event and all failed. The Monster was said to be unbeatable. People
were beginning to think that no one would ever clear it.

Then two players joined together and formed a party. Two Blade Masters
(As the class was called back then). And together they fought and an
incredible
battle against this unbeatable monster. And at the end of the day they stood
victorious.

Afterward players in "The World" would refer to them as


Orca of the Azure Sea and Bulmung of the Azure Sky;

The Descendants of Fianna.

They had earned their title and rank as the two strongest
players of 'The World'.

In fact they would hold that Title until Kite came along...
(Main character of original series)

Anyway, As you will find out with this Monster, this version
of 'The One Sin' isn't even close to being as hard as the original
from the R1 days. And this One Sin is far from unbeatable.
-----------------------------

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: The One Sin
My Level: 95

Enemy Attacks: Ground Pound. It will strike the ground and spikes of
Ice looking crystal will pop up in different places.
Energy Ball. It will pull back it's fist and charge a big ball
of Red and Black energy in it's hand and then Smash it in the ground near
the middle. Just run away and Hold L1 to call your friends over till
it's safe.

Evergy Blast: After you break it's armor and you start killing it.
After awhile it will regenerate it's armor again. When it's about to do
this it will charge an attack, RUN! and Call your friends over to one
side or the other. Becasue you dont want caught in the Death Star blast
that it will give you point blank in the face.

Stragedy:

See, it's a good thing I had you get all those weapon materials.
Ok, The One Sin will change back and forth between ligh and dark elements.
The idea is to attack with the oppisite element. You will know it is light
element whne it's realative color is blue; you will know it's dark when it
turns a dark purple color.

Step 1: Use your broad sword with the oppisite element (Change Equipment if
you need and when you need to as The One Sin changes Elements)

You can attack it's right and left arms. The arms contian the Armor Value
on it's health bar and they both share it. So you don't have to destroy
the armor seperatly for the arms. I suggest using your Schell Breaker
Broad Sword Skill.

Step 2: Once you destroy the armor you can then


attack it's Body in the middle which will lower it's HP. Use the Twin Swords
with the Oppisite Element. I suggest using Chaotic Strike as much as possible.

Also, when you see the One Sin start to charge up an attack, RUN. And press
and hold L1 to call your allies out of the line of fire.

Note: DO NOT use Divine Awakening (Plasma Blade) When the One Sin is in Light
element. Only use it when it is set to Dark element. Other wise you'll just
heal the dang thing instead of hurting it.
-----------------------------------------------

Well, when that's over you will recive the A level 90 Accessory. It's
really a pretty good item if you plan on going rare itme hunting. Or you
just want to earn a bunch of cash.

Watch the scenes, and enjoy.

Afterward you will report in and get some more rewards. YAY!

Hmmmm, thats odd, you just got an e-mail. Time to check it out.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- cc Corp. : Return of the One Sin
Short version: SAY WHAT!!! yes, thats right. It's back
yet again. and this time it's bigger and bader then ever.
The E-mail notes that this is " The World's Most Powerfull enemy."
----------------------------------

It's may be that hard and tough, but it is far from being the strongest
or hardest boss of ANY video game, case and point:

---------------
The is a super boss from the game Finial Fantasy 12 (As in a different
game then you are playing right now), I think it maybe the hardest boss
of any PS2 game to date. Don't quote me on that as this is really a
matter of opinion.

---------------
Finial Fantasy-XII Supper Boss:

<< Yiazmat >>


Lv : 73
HP : 50,112,254

Yes that is over 50 Million HP and considering that even at your


best attack you can only do 9,999 damage at a time.
The battle takes over 5 hours, and if you fight this guy out right
the normal way you will die.
The people who made FF-XII are insane.

--Note: This is just a friendly comparasion between the One Sin


and the Yiazmat. You don't actually fight the Yiazmat in this game.
And yes I got an e-mail from someone who read this section kinda fast
and didn't realize that.
-----------------

Lol, One Sin looks more like a little kitten compared to the Yiazamt.
(Matter of opinion)

But anyway, time to attempt the second part of this little adventure.
Save First.
Log-in and get ready to fight a long and tough battle.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

I suggest that you get all party members to level 100 as this
will not be an easy fight.

Restock Atoli's supply of healing items.


And get the best armor and equipment you can find as you should
now be level 100.
----------------------------
------- Returning, Invincilbe, Huge Being-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Lost Grounds/Landscape
Area Level: None
Party: Haseo, Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 100

Use same equipment and same stragedy.

Also, If you're insane and looking for a good challenge. Do this fight
solo and at level 95. =P

Also, for this fight it's not a bad idea to boost your stats with
spells before you start the fight.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: The God Eater
My Level: 100

---It's pretty much the same as last time. Main diference is that this
battle will be ALOT longer and harder. Have fun.

Enemy Attacks: Ground Pound. It will strike the ground and spikes of
Ice looking crystal will pop up in different places.

Energy Ball. It will pull back it's fist and charge a big ball
of Red and Black energy in it's hand and then Smash it in the ground near
the middle. Just run away and Hold L1 to call your friends over till
it's safe.

Evergy Blast: After you break it's armor and you start killing it.

-----------------------------------------------

When you finish you will get a the best armor in Vol. 2
It's level 100 and is customized with -25% damage for all attacks.
Rather usefull.

Well congrats my friend, you have completed the Hidden Quest for
vol. 2; //Reminisce.

Well I Suggest you look at the rest of the sections in my guide as


I'm sure they may prove usefull to you. And Enjoy, and you can see my
final parting comments at the bottem of the guide.

--------------------------------------------------
-----------------END OF HIDDEN QUEST--------------
--------------------------------------------------

---------------
---------------- 5)Doppleganger ---------------
---------------

This is just a quick section for the Doppleganger: What is it?


Why should I care? What's in it for me? Est.

The Doppleganger is a rare monster that looks like an evil version of Haseo.
This monster is very strong and is ALWAYS 8 levels higher then you. Even if
you reach the Level 100 cap he will still be 8 levels higher then you.(lvl
108)

And to verify that information I have friends who like to Code Break games.
AKA they like to put it on their computers and mess with the game programming
to see if they can cheat. They're the ones who found out that the
Doppleganger
is always 8 levels higher then you REGARDLESS of level cap. Anyway...

Now before you start to pea your pants or the oppisite and you think you can
take him. I should tell you that he is by far the HARDEST monster to beat if
you try to beat him in a straight forward fight. In fact I almost dont think
it can be done. That's why we have to cheat a little.

---To find him you should follow this stragedy:

Go to an open Field area. Kill enough monsters to fill your Moral Guage, save
the Awankening and don't use it. Stand still and do nothing for about 10
minutes, give or take some. I highly suggest killing all monsters in the
field
while doing this.

Then after you've waited for about 7-10 minutes start walking around the
field.

You will start to see a red arrow much like the ones that show where an enemy
party of monsters are. However, this arrow points to Doppleganger.

It's rare,
but after ten minutes if he still hasn't shown up, just continue to walk
around the field until you find him. See he warps from place to place in the
field as to increase the chance of running into you.....

You'll know it's him when the edges of the screne turn red and
the creepy music starts playing in the back ground.

Here's how I beat him.

--Stragedy 1: I suprised attacked him then:


After I built up the moral guage I used Divine Awakening on him.
Then beat the poop out of him, then I just finished him off.
However, if you find that you can't finish him off quickly enough, and
he starts to regenerate health too quickly: build the moral guage back up
by getting Rengeki attacks in on him and let him have Divine Awakening again.
Hopefully you will be able to hold his HP at the same level until you can
trigger the Awakening again.

--Stragedy 2: You can either do this right after you get Haseo's 3rd form
or wait until the end of the game and level up to lvl 100.

Here's the steps to go through to do this:

--!! Haseo MUST have his 3rd form and there for Divine Awakening
to be able to do this.

1-complete the The Cat Smiles Silently quests and begin the quest's
Champaign. This will give you the lucky animal radar.
2- Go to the item shop and buy about 20 smoke screnes.

3- Go to a Field type area and check to see if there is a Sleipnir lucky


animal there. Make sure the area is a high enough level so that you will
be able to build up the moral guage.

4- Go through the Field and kill all the monsters while building the Moral
Guage up. Make sure not to use it just yet.

5-After the Field is cleared of monsters, go and kick the Sleipnir lucky
animal, once that's done stand still and wait about 8 minutes for the
Doppleganger to show up.

6- Attack the Doppleganger. The Sleipnir will come to your aid and attack
which will cut the Doppleganger's HP in half. Then Quickly use a smoke screne.
Run away just long enough so your out of sight from the Doppleganger. Then
attack again. The Sleipnir again will cut the Doppleganger's HP in half.
Do this two or three more time. Finially, use your Divine Awakening and it
should KO the Doppleganager. This will render it's Twin Swords and Broad
sword
the first time, and if you defeat him again you will get his scythe.
I repeat. You have to kill him 2 times total to get all his weapons.

Tips and tricks:


!!!!- What ever you do, DO NOT let him attack you while engaged in a
fight with normal Monsters. He can walk into a battle area then you'd be dead.

It took me like 20 minutes to track him down and kill him. Anyway, thats how
I
do it. Good luck.

Rewards:

Reason for doing this?

Because if you beat him twice (2 times) you can get his broad sword,
twin swords, and his scythe. These weapons are level 50 BUT they are
the strongest weapons in Vol. 2!!!!

Also, you will get two key items that will alow you to gain the Doppleganager
weapons in vol 3.

Congrats, thats it.

---------------- 6)Books of 1000 ---------------
---------------
=============================================================================
The following section WAS NOT written by myself. This is a collection of
information that was gathered from two differnet sources. One is from the
Vol. 2 Guide written By Zer0 and the people at www.dothackers.net and the
other source is from a guide for vol 2 written by playboyskitch. I here by
give the full credit for the information to those two people. All that I have
done in this guide is simply re-organized some of the information to better
suit this guide: An example of this is using item names from Zer0's guide
and and getting the levels of equipment from playboyskitch's guide.

Again I did NOT get this information by myself, so credit to them.


The ONLY thing I did was organize it into this section for the Books
of 1000.

(See bottom of this section for credits)


=============================================================================

----Ryu Book 1 - Battles

Description: This keeps track of how many battles you have won, how many
successful suprise attacks you've done, how many Rengeki attacks, and how
many
Awakenings you have used.

Strategy: Don't really need a strategy, just keep fighting monsters. The
level
doesn't matter.

----Ryu Book 2 - Trades

Description: This book keeps track of your trades with Party Members, how
many
times you've invited a party member to join you, how many gifts you've given
a
party member, and how much all the gifts are worth.

Strategy: Give your party members a bunch of crap, over and over. It'll get
your gift amount up real fast. :)

----Ryu Book 3 - Treasures

Description: This keeps track of how many times you've opened Beast Temple
Treasures (The treasure chests at the end of the level, in front of the
floating statue), how many normal treasure boxes you've opened, how many trap
boxes you've successfully opened, and how many objects (jars, muchrooms, etc)
you've destroyed.

Strategy: Go into a dungeon and play through it, opening every treasure chest
and object you see.

----Ryu Book 4 - Items

Description: Keeps track of all items, weapons, armors, and accessories


you've
ever had in your inventory.

Strategy: Use the Item/Equipment List


----- a)Lucky Animals

---------------------
----Lucky Animals----
---------------------
Also I want to insert a section on how to find all the lucky animals
for the Lucky Animal Campaign. The reason is because it's hard to
find them all and you need to do that to be able to get several items,
armor, and or accessories.

See the lucky animals are alot harder to find in this game. They are no
longer set to one area. EX) IF you go to an area and find say a Gold Bird
is there, there will always be a Gold Bird in that area from then on.

Not so with Vol. 2

Now the lucky animals are based on your partie's average level compared to
the level of the area you are in. The top value along this chart is the
last digit of your party's average level. The Value on the side is the last
digit of the area level. The lucky animal that will be in the area is
determined where those two digits cross in the chart, kinda like the game
Battle Ship. =P

Anyway here's the link to the Chart.


http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/ZeroTheBurninator/walkthrough/lucki.pn
g

This is a chart that allows you to do things the hard way, and Unfortunitly I
found it rather hard to understand and use. There is a better
way but you have to wait till you're level 100.

Stragedy: Level all your party members to level 100. Then go to Mac Anu.
Go to areas that are level 1-10. The lucky animals on the chart will be there.

----Ryu Book 5 - Play time/Warps

Description: Keeps track of Play Time, and the number of fields you've gone
to.

Strategy: For play time, you can leave your PS2 on overnight, and for the
other
3 entries, just warp to different types of places.

----Ryu Book 6 - Arena

Description: This book keeps track of how many Arena Matches you've fought in,
how many times you've counterattacked (Using Rengeki), and how many Winner
Points (WP) you've acquired.

Strategy: Fight in the arena a whole lot to get your Arena matches and WP up.
To get your counterattack up, when the match starts, wait until someone
(probably the leader) begins to glow, and then hit R1 and attack that person.
Then back up, and wait for them to do it again. Repeat this process as many
times as you wish.

----Ryu Book 7 - Monsters

Description: This book keeps track of how many types of monsters you've
fought.

Strategy: Use the Monsters list


Note: If you imported data from a previous .hack game, Kite will be named
whatever your character was named in the previous games.

----Ryu Book 8 - Drive Time

Description: This book keeps track of how long you are on your bike, and how
many times you've crashed.

Strategy: Get on your bike, then ride around the town. Or leave your PS2 on
overnight while on your bike. Maybe tape a penny to the controler so Haseo
is moving around and so it counts the time. (It wont count if he's sitting
still on the bike)

---------------- Frequently Asked Questions ---------------
-----------------------------

Being that this IS a FAQS/ Walktrough guide I thought that after geting
several e-mails I would put together a little Q and A section to put into
my guides from the series. In here you'll find all the questions that have
come up from the e-mails I've gotten from people. I really enjoy doing
what I can to give you good info. and I love hearing from everyone.
(Even if it's just to tell me what you thought of the guide/guides)
So I hope this might give you all some good advice.

--------------------------------------------
-- 1)Technical/Game Play/Story Line Questions
--------------------------------------------

-----
--- A)Questions for All 3 Games:
-----

-1) Can't stop Sp Draining


Q: My SP goes down by one like every second and I can't make it stop! It only
does it when I'm in a field or dungeon, not a town. Can you tell me what I'm
supposed to do??

A:If it keeps happening over and over again no matter what; my guess is that
you should check your armor Materials. You know, the items you use to
customize armor? Check it. My guess is that you have an item called
Spirt Tree Bud.
That item (Armor Material)has an intresting affect: It will decrease
your skill points over time but the benifiet is that it will increase
Haseo's stats as the Sp is consumed.

-2) How to get Keywords


Q:I want to ask you how to get (Blank) area words?

A: There are only three ways to get keywords. Some are


more common then others. 1-you will get keywords from Story line events.
2- you can get keywords from topics on the Forums and Official Forums, you
can only get certian ones this way. 3- lastly you will get key words as
rewards for getting B, A,or S rankings when leaving an area. These are
random and tend to be harder to get. Just try to do well everytime you
go to an area and you should be albe to earn alot of them.

-3) Job Extensions


Q: When can Haseo start using other weapons besides dual swords? And
How do I unlock them?

A: Ok. A Common Question for rookies to the series.


These are the weapons Haseo can use:
-Twin Swords- Default weapon.
-Broad Sword- Job Extension right before 1st round of the Demon Palace
tounament.
-Scythe- Job Extension near the begining of Vol 2.
-Dual Guns- Ahhhhh not aloud to say how he got it, but
basicly it's near the middle/end of Vol 3.

-4) Books of 1000


Q:Can I complete the missing things from the book of 1000 from vol 1 in vol
2?

A: Yes, to some extent. See 99% of the books can be done in any of the
volumes. However, Quest Champaigns is where the problem is. You get
special rewards for doing the Champaigns: Special Armor, Accessories, and
once
in awhile Weapoms. The problem is that ALL Champaigns from the quests in vol
1
end/become unavakible at the begining of vol 2. And ALL Champaigns from Vol 2
end at the Begining of Vol 3. So you lose the chance to get those items. The
best thing to do is just max the limit on the book for item collection before
you play the next volume. The only other thing I can think of is that you
should complete the Hidden quest for Vol 2 before playing vol 3.

------
--- B)Questions for Vol 1:
------

-1) Bounty Hunter/Ripper's Blades


Q:How do you get the Ripper blades.

A: First off the bounty hunter quest becomes avalible as the story progresses.
It's called "Hunter's Test". Once you clear this quest you can't start the
Champaign. You need to log-out and then log back in before you can find the
NPC in the back ally of Mac Anu in the mercenary district. For more info. see
the Quest section of my guide for Vol 1.

-----
--- C)Questions for Vol 2:
-----

-1) Doppleganger's weapons


Q:I had a problem with doppleganger. I was level 100 and had the key item
"own king" from vol. 1 and I was able to defeat him but he just gave me
the two weapons (dual sword and broad) and only one key item.
Could please tell me why I couldn't get the scythe and the other key item?

A: It's really quit simple. The answer is: Go beat him again.
Yes that is right. You need to defeat him twice (2 times)
in order to get all three weapons and the both key items.

-2) Crimson VS
Q:I was wondering if you could tell me how to actvate crimson vs.?

A: Simple. It becomes avalible near the begining of Vol. 2. Just progress the
story line.
-3) Divine Awakening
Q:Does affection something to do with the Divine Awakewnig? how's it work?

A: Yes, it does affect it: When you use Divine Awakening the little marker
starts to scroll across the bottom of the screne. Obviously if you get
it closer to the middle you'll do more damage. There are 3 'Perfect" marks
in the middle of the bar. By Increasing your party member's affection, those
three 'perfect' marks become wider and therefore easier to hit. Therefore
giving you a better chance to do mroe damage.

-4) Password from Salvador Aihara


Q:When you go to the rumors board and news section you hear some stuff about
Salvador Aihara and that he plays the World. After an annoying chase of
checking the rumor board and logging back in you meet him as his character
Kazubolo “The Last Hope” in Mac Anu’s back ally, where he tells you his
true identity as the famous news reporter, and tells you to keep quiet if
he gives you the Wallpaper and Password: Nurse Carnival. SOOOO…I guess my
question is, what is the purpose of the password: Nurse Carnival? I know its
not area words cause I checked all 3 sections.

A:That topic has been discussed several times on the dothackers.net boards.
See we have the privledge of having a few ppl who visit those Forums who
are from Japan and speak english, they've been able to answer several
questions for us. And as far as any of us can tell the password is useless.
However, I've read in some of the interviews with the game creators that
they are putting bonus material in the GU games just for the North American
versions of the games. So it may or may not have something to do with bonus
stuff in vol. 3. But it doesnt seem too likly. If I hear anything I'll put
it in my guide for vol 3.
For now dont worry about it becuase it appears as if the password is
worthless.

------
--- D)Questions for vol 3:
------

1)Final Boss for the Series


Q: Is Ovan the final boss in vol. 3 , if he is not who is the final ?

A: No, Ovan is not the Final Boss for Vol 3. Although I can see where
you might think that. I mean Corbenick was the final boss of the last series.
But No, The final boss for Vol 3 is bigger, badder, and
generally a whole lot worse the Corbenik (Ovan).
Who the last boss is exactly, well lets just say that he was a major
enemy from the original series.

2) Last Hidden Quest


Q: Is there hidden quest in vol. 3 and who is the boss ?

A: Yes there is a Hidden Quest for vol 3. And it's one Haseo has done before.
(aka he did it before the events of //Rebirth, during //ROOTS Look around on
the rumor's boards and see if you can figure it out)
And, No: There isn't 1 Boss. Instead there are 11.

3)Hardest Avatar Battle


Q: What is the hardest avatar battle and the hardest boss you foughtin
all 3 volumes ?

A: Well, at the moment I havn't played Vol 3. But I'd say it's a tie betten
Azure Flame god and AIDA<Oswald>.

.hack// G.U.
Vol. 3// Redemption

----------------------------I) Introduction to Guide------------------------
------------------
Welcome back everyone. It's time to get started the the 3rd and final game
of the GU series. I wanted to thank you all for sending me e-mails
saying you liked the guides for Rebirth and Reminisce.
I only hope to be able to deliver a guide just as good if not better.

So anyway, after playing Vol 3 in the GU series I'm still not sure what to
make of it. Some parts of it were enjoyable and yet others were on the verge
of being rather annoying. It is by far the most.......how do I say this......
.......different......Ahhh: It had so many good things in it that made
it a fun game. It's just that I honestly wish things would have turned out
a little differnt in the end. It has a different feel to it then any of the
other .hack games. It was good, its just that it was so different: it made
it feel like the odd ball of the series. I don't know. You'll just have to
see for yourselves.

Well anyway, enough of me going on like this. Lets get to the guide.

----------
I'd like to re-cap quickly with what was said in the last guide and also
to add some new information to this guide so please read:

These are the major forms of Media in the .Hack// series:


Going in chronological order-

.Hack//SIGN (TV series),


.Hack//Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine (Games)
.Hack//Legend of the Twilight (TV)
.Hack//ROOTS (TV)
.Hack// G.U. Vol: 1 (Rebirth),2 (Reminisce),and 3 (Redemption)

(.Hack// G.U. Trilogy is a full length CG movie that's due for release
in Japan on January 25,2008. Add another 6 months and you get a rough
estiment
on when it will reach the US. Also, it seems the movie will take an alternate
approch in telling the story. AKA: "This is how it could have happend")

Also note that there are bonus disks that come with each of the four
original
games and one bonus disk (The Terminal Disk) that comes with the special
edition of .Hack//G.U.- Vol. 1-Rebirth. Also on the normal game disk of
Vol. 2-Reminisce there is included the first episode of .hack//Roots, AND
also on the normal game disk of Vol. 3 is the 6th episode of ROOTs, Both of
which can be watched through the game's desktop under the movie player.
----------
Moving along:

This guide will take you step-by-step through Vol. 3 Redemption. I will
include the story events, Optional Quests, Hidden Quest, Books of 1000,
leveling up, boss fights, back ground information, and of course other little
odds and ends.

Just like in the last guide this walkthrough DOES contain spoilers, BUT again
like in the last 2 guides I will mark them before hand and have you play
ahead.
You will notice that my standard line is: "Watch the scenes, and then come
back and read more." This allows you to play through the game and still enjoy
all the surprises the story has to offer without spoiling it for yourself.
SO DON'T READ AHEAD!!!!

For now lets get started with this game.

------------------
-------------------------------- II) G.U. series ---------------------------
------------------

.Hack// G.U.

--------------------C) Vol. 3- Redemption --------------------------

--- Game info.


Game length: Moderate
Average Game time: 25 hours (20-30 hours)
Difficulty: Medium-Hardish
----Over View---
--Gameplay: 9/10- Nothing's perfect but I really enjoyed the combat in this
volume. It felt like you were almost playing a different game instead of the
same game with a continued story line.
--Music: 10/10- It fits perfectly, and I mean Perfectly.
--Graphics: 9/10 - granted it can't compare to some
Final Fantasy CG movies, but it's the next best thing.
--Voice Acting: 9/10 - only on rare occasions did I
think it might have been better, but even then not by much.
--Replay Value: 8/10- Replay value ok. I mean it's a fine enough series
that you'll probably want to play through the games more then once.
--Story Line: 10/10- Really this one is an odd ball of the whole
series even more so the Reminisce. But then they were trying to make the
games feel differnt from each other.

Overall rating: 8/10 - I personally think it was just slightly under par
with the other two games. In the overall ranking I think it was pretty good,
but not truly great. Still don't be dissapointed, that's just what I think.
I still say that as a series it's one of the best I've ever played: Good game
play, amazing music, great graphics, and a story worthy to be called .Hack// .

--- Getting started-


I'm going to mention here that you guys using my guide will probably enjoy
the game more than I did. The reason is that I'll be explaining things as you
go along and helping you out. Where as the first time I played the game I was
on the verge of going nuts from not being sure what to do and when to do it.
I
mean there isn't a huge amount of stuff such as a game like Final Fantasy 12,
but there's enough that you'll probably be glad to have advice if you're
like me.

Ok then, First things first.

-------People Converting from Vol. 2 Reminisce.--------------

Those of us who went and bought the first and second game,
you will be glad to know that you will indeed keep the following things from
the last game: Items, EXP, party list, equipment, money, Guild Rank,
affection
rating, and lots of other stuff. As long as you have the cleared data
from the second game you can keep all that stuff mentioned above. For now
read
on and I'll walk you through getting your data converted.

-------People starting a new game from scratch.-------------

Well, for you who are starting new; this is going kind of suck.
When you start a new game you will be given a certain amount of stuff
to help you out, but honestly you got your work cut out for you. See,
people converting had the chance to earn extra money, level up,
and do extra stuff before they started into the this game. You on the
other hand won't have that opportunity. Here's a list of stats for
when you start a new game:
Haseo:
-Level 93
-Skill level: TwinSword-20, BroadSword-20, Scythe-20

-Twin swords: Level 91 Wind Haven


-Broad Sword: Level 92 Wrath Fenlong
-Scythe: Level 75 Ticking Death
-Armor: Level 90 Vigil Dragon
-Accessory: Level 90 Simple Handbag

-Items: Healing Potion x15, Fairy Drop x10,Revival Medicine x10,


Life Scrolx2.

-Money: 15,000 GP

Honestly I don't know what to tell you other then good luck.
You're going to need it.
------------------------------------------------------------

As you put in the disk take time to watch the opening movie play before you
get to the main menu. Don't skip it. It's pretty good, not my favorite. But
good

As the main menu comes up notice that you no longer have the Convert Option
from Vol 1. Basicly you'll find it the same system as vol 2.
Go ahead and start a new game. If you beat Vol. 2 and have
the data on the same memory card you will get a message that reads as
follows:

-"If you have clear data from .hack//GU vol 2: Reminisce, you can use it to
begin .hack//GU vol 3: Redemption. Begin game by converting?"

Obviously you want to select "yes" because otherwise you'll waste all the
work
you did in the last game.

You will be asked to chose the save file to start a new game with.

-Once you do that you will get another message:


"You will recive a bonus for converting clear data from Vol. 2 Reminisce.
If your inventory is full, items will be stored in you guild storage."

Sweet! Not only do you get to keep your stuff from the last game but they
give you a double reward for just beating the last game.

Here is the list of what you get: Holy Arrow x10,Hell Raiser x10,The Wheel
x10,
Warrior Soul x15, Wizard Soul x15 and 10,000 GP. And last but not least:
a movie added to your desktop Movie player.

So anywho. Watch and enjoy the opening scenes, and there is a large amount
of them. So kick back and relax. Feel free to read ahead AFTER you finish all
those scenes. I mean like ALL of them. Come back when you arrive at your
desktop and we'll take it from there.

--------------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- Ovan and the Girl
Short Version/Main points: This game opens with a movie
that sheds some light on Ovan's past, which until this game
has been pretty clouded. The the Vets of the series will probably
flip a lid, like I did, when they see the cover of the book Ovan
was holding.
----------------------------------

In the Cut sceens following the opening movie you are given yet
more information. Ovan states the fact that once, seven years ago, there
was a godess that existed in the game. And of course those who havnt played
the original games are probably getting pretty pi$$ed I keep bringing it up
and they still have no idea what the F*** is going on. well good news for you
my firends. By the end of this guide I promise you will know everything
important that happened in the old games and everything else that goes
with it.

Back to the movies:

1- Aina was attacked by AIDA and could not be cured by Ovan's Avatar.
Well that sucks.

2-You realize that Ovan's incased arm is losing some of it's


effectiveness to restrain the powerful AIDA that infected Ovan.
Also, Ovan is depending on Haseo to come through for him.....
Wait a second, WTF!? What is AIDA going to do? Why is time running
out? What is it Haseo has to do?
"Tune in next time to find the answers......"

Next is the recaping on the first two games. YAY! Memory flash backs!

After the recap of past events you'll see Haseo talking to himself outloud.
Ahh, dont worry he's not crazy, I talk to myself all the time.........
....................WHAT?!, don't give me that look. It's not funny!
Sometimes
it's good just to talk out loud and blow off some steam.......yeah whatever.

Anyway, Haseo points out that he saw Azure Kite when Shino got pked by Ovan
and sent into a coma. So naturally he thought Azure Kite had done the crime.
Lol, Poor Azure Kite had been framed all along. Leave it to Haseo to go after
the wrong guy.

Haseo goes on to say that it's very likly that Ovan's been pulling the
strings
since they first met.....well, YEAH. Who did you think it was Haseo? Instead
of brewing over the fact you SHOULD be thinking about WHY Ovan whould do that
to you. Last time I checked Ovan wasn't insane, a little odd at times, but
not
insane. And only insane people (or some one who has no heart what so ever)
would put you through hell like that. No....Ovan has a reason.

----Next sceen.

You see Yata Brooding over the situation at the Serpent of Lore.
Then as he's starting to draw some good conclusions when he suddenly hears
a voice from above sayin: DENIED FOOL!

Yeah, it sucks, but finially the big wigs at CC Corp. have had enough
of Yata's BS and are getting ready to boot him out the door.
--------------------------

--------------------------
--------------------- Spreading Shadows ------------------
--------------------------
Well then, it seems as though things are not looking good.
This first section of the game will be dealing largely
with the aftermath of all the events that happened at the
end of Vol 2. I'll warn you now, alot of stuff happens
and not alot of it is good. And to be completely honest you're
going to have to deal with all this $hit first BEFORE you'll be able
to get to anything good and intresting.

Lets start things off with the e-mails. And make sure to start at the bottom
of the list and work your way up.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Uchiyamada : Conversion bonus features
Short version: Ok, when I first read this e-mail Everything was ok until
I read about the Doppelganger then I got confused as heck.

1) Id you check your movie player on your desktop you will find the 6th
episode of .hack//ROOTS. So that's cool.

2)If you defeated the Doppelganger and did all the stuff I told you to
in my other guides, then you got nothing to worry about. I'll cover when
you should go fight him and what not. And that won't be for awhile
considering
you can't get the items from him until the Post Game section. So don't worry.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp. : Notice of Campaign Completion
Short version: It means all the Camaigns from Vol 2
are now over and your chance to get the special items from
those events is now passed. (Hopefully you maxed out the books
of 1000 before you started into the next game)
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : New Town Access
Short version: You can now go to Breg Epona. A new town for advanced
players. BUT it's not the last town you can go to, there's one more, but
that'll have to wait till later.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp. : Your Benefits as Holy Palace Champion
Short version: Basicly Canard has expanded to an Advanced level Guild.
There are 3 bonuses for achieving this.

1) Your @home is now located in Breg Epona.


2) You can use alchemy on weapons that have a difference of 20 levels.
3) When viewing your guilds storage you can press Tri-angle and exchang the
item for money. (Although your better off just selling it at the guild shop)
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Atoli : About Moon Tree
Short version: She talks about the aftermath of the event that
took place at Moon Tree. Remember that the Crowning ceramony for Haseo,
the thing with Moon Tree, the Battle with Sakaki, and then Facing off with
Ovan: All happened on the same day. My guess this is somewhere within a week
afterward. Haseo did mention he needed some time to himself before he could
move forward. I'm willing to bet he took a couple days off.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Anonymous : The Power of the Avatar
Short version: Bascily someone knows who you are and what's
going on. However he refuses to give you his name. But he's
let you know that instead of Divine Awakening you can now
perform Avatar Awakening.

Anyway, he says he's your unseen ally. That's cool. Personally I


think it's the guy who wrote the Terminal Disk. AKA a head cc corp.
programming engineer who resigned after...........well, lets just say
he was co-leading the project that created the avatars. Which just happens
to be the project that caused the fire at the CC Corp. building and destroyed
80% of the first version of the game.

............And you want this guy messing with Haseo's character?!


Not really, the fire wasn't his fault. It was the other guy......
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Anonymous : Growth of the Avatars
Short version: Ok, here's what I was saying in my last guide about
the Lost weapons having the potential of being the Ultimate weapons
for the Epitaph users.

Remeber the weapon Haseo got in the last game (Ticking Death?).
Well if you collect enough Virus Cores by using Avatar Awakening
you can upgrade the weapon and it will become stronger. I'll walk you
through the process in the guide so don't worry for now. Besides the only
weapons I would suggest doing this for is Haseo, Atoli, and Kuhn.
The others are optional and not really nesscary. I was able to get 4 out of
7 weapons fully upgraded by the end of the game. So really it wasn't that
much
trouble and not really a big pain.
----------------------------------

Ok, next thing you should do is flip over to the News. You might as well look
at this and get it out of the way now.
----------------------------------
-News- :
Short version:

-There's a new Online Jack. The first one


in this game isn't greta, but the other two
are really good. But, watch it anyway, it's
still rather funny.

-The internation space station is having problems


and if they continue it's going to fall out of orbit.....
well that sucks.

-Some cars are seriosuly Jacked up. Stupid people should know
better then to let a computer drive for them.

-There is an extreely odd topic about the Arena and how the
rules have changed......What the CRAP?!
----------------------------------

Lastly look on the Forums. Remember that you're seeing the


aftermath of everything that took place in vol 2.

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version:

-Some ppl talking about Moon Tree and see black spots.

-Version update for Crimsion VS

-Some ppl commenting about the news

-More ppl talking about black spots

-And Pics on the Apkallu.


----------------------------------

when that's done it'll be time to finally log-in.

There's some stuff on the Offical Forums, not really


important, just view it quickly then log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Open your menue to see all the new stuff they got for you.

1- You can check the growth (level) of the lost weapons under
your menue now.

2- Avatar Awakening can be leveld to to a max of levle 10 at which


point it will do the most damage. (I only ever got mine to level like lvl 6)
Then, transfer over to the new town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

This town will be your base of operations for about 3/4 of the game.

Your first order of bussiness is to head to the new @Home. It's located
at the back of the city, you can use a warp point to get there or you can
walk/Ride the Steam bike. Your choice. I would take time to look at what's
for sale in the new shops. This city is the 2nd biggest one in the game.
At first I really didn't find this one that likable, it was a bit bright
for my taste. However, after taking some time to slow down and appreacate
it: it really is rather detailed and after awhile I decided I liked it.

By contrast the new @Home is kinda dark......


Well, what ever.
Generally speaking I think it's pretty cool.

Silabus and Gaspard are there and metion its time for a grunty event.
Then Atoli appears out of no where and scares Haseo: Blind spot again.

At anyrate, talk to Death Grunty to get on with the event and on with
the story line, of course you can't help but chuckel at Death Grunty and
Haseo.

You'll get some key words and this'll be the first area for the game.

Also, talk to death grunty and view the books of 1000. I had 4 of the 8
max out right then and there. Then turn around and take the money you just
got off Death Grunty and buy the new Guild Expansions. Lastly, the items you
got as Game Convertion Bonus, yeah, I'd just sell them because to me they're
worth more in GP to me then actually using them in battle. It's up to you
but it's a good way to earn some extra cash.

-Equipment and Items-

Ok, Add Atoli and Silabus to your party. Then head back into town. Make sure
to stop at the Weapon and Armor Shop. Pick up the following things:

---(NOTE

If you have the Doppleganage Weapons and the Lvl 100 armor from
beating the game's hidden quest then Haseo won't need a weapon and
armor upgrade for about half the game.

BUT: I'm sure it's safe to assume that there are a couple ppl who
perhaps bought the games out of order OR just didn't bother to get the
doppleganger items that are so very very useful. That being the case I
figure for the sake of arguement. I will not use any of those weapons
during the normal game play while writing this guide.
(Even tho it'll be a serious pain in the @$$)
Haseo:

TwinBlades- lvl 101 (wp shop in Breg)- Fire att and Drain 10%hp
Broad Sword- lvl 101 (wp shop in Breg)-Fire att and Drain 10% sp
Scythe- lvl 101 (wp shop in Breg)- Light att and Drain 10% hp
Armor- lvl 101 (arm shop in Breg)- -25% Phy and -10% Magic
Accessory- lvl 95 (2nd game)- +10% speed, red stone x2
(decrease arts sp consumption)

Silabus:
lvl 101 sword-Move the materials to his new weapon
lvl 101 Light armor- *dido for materials*
Leave accessory as is for now (Lvl 95)

Atoli:
level 101 Robes

Like I said above: If you followed my guide from vol 2 you should have
the Doppleganger weapons and also the Armor from beating "The god Eater" in
the
Hidden Quest for Vol 2. That Equipment will actually last you for almost half
the game before you need to upgrade your equipment. In other words, Haseo
doesn't really NEED anything at the moment.

Also, MAKE SURE to go to the magic shop where they sell scrolls and pick
up a few Sanity scrolls. It allows you and Atoli to learn the spell to cure
confuse. You WILL need this.

-Also make sure to buy about 40 items that also Cure Confuse (Lucid Soda)
and give about 30 of them to Atoli. Also Buy a bunch of the item
called Wonder Soda (it cures any negative effect) and also give some to
Atoli.

Save then head for the Chaos Gate.


Ok, then off we go.

----------------------------
------- 1)Universal, Ocean's, Glide -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 96
Party: Haseo, Silabus, Atoli
My Level: 100

First off, assuming you followed my guide for the last game. Your will
be well prepared for this first section of the game.

Bascily for this mission you need to run around to three different hills and
be marked with the Grunty sent. Once you do that you can go to the last hill
and locate Melo Grunty.
Before we get to that, I need to metion some things first.
1) Hopefully you took the time to max out your level before moving
on the vol 3. If you did so you will note that you exp is 999/1000
Fighting just one enemy on this field will alow you to gain a level.
2) If you took the time to Max out your Skill Levels from Vol 2. You will
note that by using your skills (of each weapon type) just once, you will
gain a Skill Level (lvl 21). This will grant you the level 3 arts for your
Scythe, Broad Sword, and Twin Swoards. These skill are you LAST arts
you will be able to gain for each type of weapon. From here on out, every
time you gain a skill level (22-30) you will decrese the amount of SP needed
to use the skill. In other words it's still a good idea to gain as many skill
levels as possible.
4) Now that you have your final arts available to you It's be a good idea to
set them to your skill trigger:

Tri-Angle: Ghost Faclon


Square: Armor Break
Circle: Reaper's Dance
X: (Put anything you like here, it's up to you)

3) If you picked up the equipment I suggested, make sure to give it to


Silabus
and Atoli once they get to level 101.

Hopefully you were smart enough to do the bike trials from the old game and
if
you did them all you got the Tridal Muffler: this will make you invisable to
monsters while on your bike. So obviously you should use your bike to get
around. (note: use your bike and get all the symbol fragments to open the
Beast Temple. You shouldn't have to fight anuthing usless you want to)

-There are two small hills on the East (right) side of the map. You need to
visit the one in the more to the south (on it's own little island)
Go here first to meet up with Wise Grunty.

-Once done then head for the West side of the Map (left) The hill on the
island
most to the south is where you can locate Gao Grunty.

- The hill more toward the north from above mentioned position, is where you
will locate King Grunty.

-> Once you get to all three locations you will get a message from Death
Grunty and then you can locate Melo Grunty on the hill beside the Beast
Temple
which is located in the North West corner of the map. Once you talk to him
the mission will end. Then use the Platform near the Beast Temple to get back.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------
When you arrive back, head for Canard's @Home.

watch the scene then log-out.


Read these from the bottom up.

Movie- Sakaki Arrives
Short Version/Main points: Sakaki is a B@$tard. That really sums
up alot. But That wont do since I'm writing a guide here: Bascily
Sakaki got Yata fired and is now running the whole game.

-Traslation->

You...... are........ SCREWED!!!


--------------------------------

Ok,anyway.
As you leave Raven you'll get a mail which is what you'll be wanting to read.
So Log-out and while the game is loading you're desktop read ahead:

1-Yata is off somewhere in their real world being all emo. He's pretty
pi$$ed and yet terribly depressed at the moment.
2-Sakaki is now watching you 24/7 from the Serpent of Lore.
3-You will be spending the first half of the game rebeling against Sakaki's
rule over "the World" while trying to figure out a way to over throw him.
4-Last but not least: Things are going to get worse. ALOT worse before it's
going to get better.

"What does that mean?"

"It means buckle your seat belt Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye bye."

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Silabus : Lets go on a quest
Short version: Questing time. Lets head out.
----------------------------------

But first:

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : Reguarding Sakaki
Short version: Pi says that Sakaki is indeed the Game's head
Admin. Of course that sucks for you, but anyway. Pi says she'll
try to figure out what exactly CC Corp. was thinking when they
gave him the job.
----------------------------------

If your smart you could probably guess why Yata got the boot.
But she'll be e-mailing you after awhile with all the details so hang
tight for the mean time.

For now you need to slack off in terms of being the Bad @$$ hero of the
series
and try to enjoy yourself a little. What better way to do that then doing a
quest with two of the crazziest guys around?

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: Gives you some good hints about
the quest you'll be doing shortly. This makes
things no fun for me. =(
They bascily stole my job.....well anyway. I'll
still be coving the quests anyway; after all I'm
sure you all like me better anyway; Or will by the time
this game is done. =P
----------------------------------

Log-in.

Head to Breg Epona.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

when you get here I should mention something. You should know
that leveling up in this game is rather hard. Infact it got so
bad that I had to go to areas that were 4 levels higher than Haseo
just to gain a decient amount of exp.

As far as I can tell there are two reaons for this:

1-I noticed that the last game was a little more difficult to gain
levels then vol 1. And Now vol 3 is even harder then vol 2.

2- With out giving away too much, you do not need to be level 150 to
beat the game. In fact you could probably do it at level 125. So
really you only need to gain about half the levels avabilable.

Anyway, I do have to set some kind of standard while writing this guide.
And I've managed to come up with 5 check points you need to meet for
the first half of the game.

For right now you, need to reach level 107. That's six levels higher
then you are at the moment. Right now is the best time do this. Reason being:
You will need to train with Atoli and Kuhn for the majority of the game and
once you reach level 107 you will only need to gain 2 or 3 levels at a time
from here on out. (At least for awhile)

Also there's another reason you'll want to go out and train: You need to
upgrade Haseo's Lost Weapon ASAP and the sooner you do that the better.

Ok then, place Atoli and Kuhn in your party and lets go gain some levels.

Note- Hopefully you followed my last guide and used Kuhn in your fight with
the 'god eater'hidden quest. If so, Atoli and Kuhn will be level 101.
Anyway, buy Kuhn the level 101 steam gun and amor at the weapon's shop and
give it too him for usage in owning monsters.

-------------------------------
--Random) Buzzing, Wrath's, Starlit Sky-------
-------------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 105
Party: Haseo,Kuhn, Atoli
My Level: 101

The biggest thing I can say is that if you work on using your Rengeki
attacks as much as possible, you will benfiet in the following ways:
1: It trains your skills to get better which means you lvl 3 arts cost less
SP when used.

2: It Boosts the Exp you can get from battles, which ussally puts it up
to about 200+ exp instead of like 150ish Exp. And trust me it makes a
difference.

3: This builds the Moral guage faster, and therefore you can use
Avatar Awakening. Read on for more info.

Go, level up, collect items, and use Avatar awakening AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!
((For best result use on a enemy parties that have: 1 large monster
and 2 small monsters, OR 2 large Monsters.))

----
News Clip:
"Having problems with AIDA infection? Want to get that nasty AI out of
your brain? Use new and improved Avatar awakening. Removes AIDA in just
one blast. Try it today! =D
Warning: may cause loss of consiousness or extensive brain damage"
----

Anyway, you need to get about ohhh.....85 virus cores to fully upgrade
Haseo's Lost Weapon. It could take awhile, and you probably wont get it
done anytime soon. But you should really considering doing it for Kuhn
and Atoli too.

-Granted you cant fully upgrade the weapons (lvl 4 upgrade)


till you are level 140 to beat the Beasts of Seal. However, if you get
them upgraded to lvl 3 (second best upgrade) near the beggining of the
game, then they are really quite usefull.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Ok, I'm willing to bet you realize now just how difficult it's going
to be to level up. So I'm sure you won't be suprised at me saying you'll
more then likly need to go to several More areas before you get to level 107.
So just continue to level up and come back when you're there.

I know this is a pain in the @$% but it simply needs done now. Trust me,
you'll
be thanking me later. I made the mistake of only geting level 104. Not a good
idea considering that I nearly died several times. So trust me: Get to lvl
107.

--I had to go to a lvl 106, 107,and a 109 before I reached level 107.

As a side note: In level 107ish areas you will proabaly encounter an enemy
called "captian Hook". They will counter with paralize, which gets highly
annoying. Use your Hold and Relase Broad Sword. It uses the least amount
of hits (less chances to get counter attacked) yet still gets the job done.

---Ok once you've reached level 107, add Silabus and Gaspard to
your party. Go to the armor and weapon shop and buy new lvl 101 weapons
and armor for them. Once done head over to the Quest shop and accept the
new quest.

When done get ready to head out to a new type of area:

(Note: I thought you might like to know that you now have access to
all types of fields for the series which are as follows:
Lost Grounds/Landscape, Field, Jungel Cave, Temple Dungeon, Highland Field,
Tower Dungeon, and finially Forest Dungeon.)

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------


----- 8)Dubious Dog
----------------------------
------- 2)Unseen, Alien, Elf Animal(Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Forest Dungeon
Area Level: 97
Party: Haseo,Silabus, Gaspard
My Level: 107

Block 1:
Use a Fairy Orb to reveal the map, and then a Speed Charm on Haseo.
You don't need to fight anything usless you want to. I just used
Smoke screens before I got near monsters, this turned me invisable
for about 3 or 4 seconds. Anyway, all you need to worry about is
just getting to block 2.

Block 2:
As you come to the first room in the 2nd block you'll see a sceen.
Follow Haseo's leading and just work your way toward block 3.

Block 3: If you look closly at the map you'll see several paths
branch off. All of them head south. You need to make for the one
in the middle right. It's the only square room at a dead end
that has nothing in it (No treasure chest or Chim Harvesters).
In other words: Use the following directions if you don't get it-

First split: Go East


Second Split: East
Third Split: Go south

When you get there-


You will discover the HeatWave Hound. Beat him to pulm, or become
Doggy chow. Just use your scythe, and at level 107 it wont be all
that hard. This fight was NOT easy when I did it the first time at
level 102.

When you're done you'll atuo finish the quest.


------------------- ------------------- -------------------
------------------- -------------------

As you finish up, you'll get an e-mail, so do the only logical thing
and log-out to find what it says.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : Redguarding Sakaki 2
Short version: Ok, here's the deal.
Sakaki is using the lie that he can control AIDA
and therefore can solve CC Corp's problem. Of course that
isn't true but leave it to the thick skulls running the company
not to notice. Ok anyway, Sakaki only had one major condition
under which he agreed to do this: He gets to be the
tyrant of the ‘The World’ and dictator of G.U.

AKA- he's going to try and make your life miserable.


Anyway, Pi want to meet with you. She has some
neat little things to show you.
----------------------------------

You can glance over the other e-mails if you want.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Gaspard : Have Fun?
Short version: Self explantory

-E-mail- CC Corp. : Notice of Campaign Commencment
Short version: The Chaotic Pks Campaign is back-Fun.

I'm sure we can fix that. But not just yet.
we got other things to worry about at
the moment.
----------------------------------

Well, log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------
Invite Pi and Atoli to Join
your party. While here, buy some equipment for Pi.

Then,Warp over to Dol Dona server.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Now, before you go running off to start in on the next event.


I want you to go and upgrade Haseo's Lost Weapon first.

----------------------------
------- )Hidden,Forbidden, Sacrament -------
----------------------------
Area Type: LandScape/ Lost Grounds
Area Level: None
Party: Haseo,Pi,Atoli
My Level: 107

When you get there, walk up to the Scythe and select it.
(If you don't have the scythe with you just walk to the
platform and access your guild storage, that is if you've
been keeping up on your Guild upgrades too)

Hopefully you have enough Virus Cores by now to upgrade


Haseo's Scythe to lvl 2 upgrade, other wise it won't
even be worth your trouble.

Head back to town when done.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Head out to the new area.

----------------------------
------- 3)Hidden,Forbidden, Hades -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Landscape/Lost Grounds
Area Level: None
Party: Haseo,Pi, Atoli
My Level:107
Ok, when you get here Pi will start talking to you.
Come back and read when you gain control over Haseo.

-Ok, Basicly Pi installed a program to Haseo's character that


will allow you to Area Hack. In other words, exploit the bugs
in the system. To do this walk forward toward the edge of the
walkway. You will see the screen flicker and hear white noise.
-When that happenes, press the R1 button on your controler to
hack the bug in the area.
-Then approch the point where the graphics swril. Select it and
chose to warp.

-Pi will explain everything too you, so if I didn't cover something


I'm sure you'll understand in a bit.
-Come back and read when you reach the Outer Dungeon.

--Outer Dungeon--

When you arrive Pi presents a short explaination of where it is you are.


Basicly one of the side affects of AIDA being present in 'The world' is
that these dungeons were produced.

These dungeons are on the rim of the game, on the very edge. They are at the
point of being part of the game, and yet at the same time not. In other
words these dungeons are the middle ground between the Game and the rest
of the Network.

Well now. Time to get a move on. You need to head along the path from
the North East corner of the dungeon to the South East corner of the
dungeon.

It's kinda a pain but you can do it. Also, you will meet monsters here.
You can chose to fight them or chose not to. I leave it to you. When it comes
right down to it you've already leveled up to where you need to be for awhile,
so I don't see a good point in fighting usless battles. The only benfiet I
can
think of is getting Rengeki EXP and virus Cores from Avatar Awakening.

Anyway, make your way along the path,you should watch out for little boxes
that like to shoot lasers across your path, they can be painful. You'll know
when they're about to fire when the glow yellow.
when you get to the end watch the scenes and enjoy.
Afterward use the Platform to get back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

When you get back, Pi decided to head off to search for Yata in the
real world. For now you need to take the next step which mean reading
your new e-mail.

Log-out.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Sirius : Got A minute?
Short version: He need to talk to you about
the new type of tournament that comming up.
Well, if it's important enough for him to contact you.
Then it's important enough to go and take a look.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC corp. : Notic of the Sage Palace Tournament
Short version: Ok, basicly there's going to be a special
one time tournament that is based on Pkers. Those who have
the most Kills since they began the game get picked to be
in the tournemant. Unfortunitally that also mean PKKs too...
.....like Haseo. So yeah.

As a side note, like Haseo said: It's odd that Taihaku


resorted to using cheap taunts? Maybe it has something to do
with being tickeled by AIDA at the end of Vol 2.?

Also, Lumina Cloth and Breg Epona


are PK possible towns. In other words you can now get killed
while in the town......

F#%* !!!!!

That sounds like it'll be lots of fun. YEAH, Fun like pouring
lemon juice on a paper cut.

Load up CrimsonVS.

Register this deck for battle. And I can pretty much


bet that you'll have no probelms winning your way to
rank #1 and beating the Title Match. It wins about 3/4
of the time. So yeah. Also, Megan Wiseman e-mailed me with
some other decks, so if this deck isn't doing it for you. Here
are some other highly suggested Decks:

Well there really wanst much of a point in meeting was there?


At least you did get two valuable peices of info.

1) Saku and Endrance are 'bussy'.


2) The whole game is slowly but surely turing into one
big old AIDA server.

Afterward use the Platform to get back to town.

-E-mail- Pi : Announcment
Short version:

Ok here's the plan. Pi looked into some things


and it is true, like Kuhn said, that the world is slowly turning
into an AIDA server. So Pi is going to keep looking for Yata, who
will hopefully know something that will help bring down Sakaki's
rule of terror. You, Haseo, need to enter the tounament to prevent
Sakaki from spreading AIDA seeds all over the game. This will buy
Pi.....lol, Buy Pi.....Buy Pie?

Anyway, it'll buy her some time to find Yata and figure out a way to
finish Sakaki.

Great. >_<

Go to the arena counter and register for the toury.

You need to access the arena counter twice to complete the


registation totally. You'll know you did it right when
some scenes take place afterward.

At the end of the scenes with the Pks, you'll get a short mail
from Silabus. Looks like somethings up with Gaspard. Run off to
Breg Epona to see whats up.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

As you enter the main square you'll see a scene insue with Silabus and
Gaspard. Intrestingly enough the little fat guy decided to get some man
hood and isn't going to back down.

Right on fat man.

Once the scene is over log-out.

You've got a couple e-mails that need reading.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Kuhn : Let meet
Short version: Says that everyone needs to meet and talk about the
Pk tournament and who from GU is going to take part in it.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Antares : To my student
Short version: He says he has no idea why they chose him. But
that he is going to compete anyway.

Well I'd think it's obvious: Sakaki wants to get at Haseo


and anyone who's his friend too.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Matsu : My reasons
Short version: He says he's fighting for the restoration of
Moon Tree and that he hope he won't have to fight Haseo.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: Some quest advice you don't really need.
and then some pics of Sirius and pkers.
----------------------------------

Ok, time to log-in and head for the meeting.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

You've got a new area to head off too. So get Atoli and
Kuhn in your party and let's go.

----------------------------
------- 5)Calm, Betrayal's, Longing -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Forest Dungeon
Area Level: 100
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 107

This area is really very simple. Just use a fairy orb to reveal the
map, then use Atoli's speed enhancement spell (makes you 50% faster).
And beat a hastey path to the Beast Statue. You can fight the monsters if
you want, but really it just means wasted time. Once there things will
unfold. Just head back to town when things are done and then I'll explain.

First off, the thing with Endrace just kinda walking out on you guys
is kinda rude. Not to mention way out of character for Endrance, I mean
I can understand Saku, but Endrance? Somethings up.
Next is that Atoli will thankfully acompany you in the up comming
tournament. Which is great cause I've been using Atoli and Kuhn as
my main party for most of the series anyway. Also, now that the events
with Moon Tree are over Atoli has awakened and can now summon her avatar
anytime she wants. Also I think it's cool that Atoli isn't a wimp anymore.
I mean, seriously, its about time.

For now, head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Log out cause you got a few e-mails.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Matsu : Wanna do a quest?
Short version: Says he'd like to do something
to pass time and for you to invite someone else
along too. Ok, sounds fun.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Endrance : ........
Short version: Bascily Endrance tells you getting out
while the getting is good......not really, he just says he's
doing things his own way now and he'll see you around.

----------------------------------

(?)

>_<

Ok, log in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Add Matsu and Atoli to your party and head for the quest shop.

Before you head out, you need to buy the lvl 101 Steam gun and Heavy armor
for Matsu.

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------


----- 6) Hail Bikman

--------------------------------
------- 6)Gathering, Familiar, Mascot(Q) -------

Area Type: Temple Dungeon
Area Level: 102
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Matsu
My Level: 107

Block 1:

As you arrive You'll see some scenes.


Really there isn't alot to this quest.

For now, just head to the next block.

Block 2:

This is really rather simple. All you have to do is go from the


entrance to the block on the left (West) to the last room in the middle
on the right (east). The room is empty and it's where you'll find the
Grunties. Just get there and the scenes will ensue, which although are
rather odd and makes you wonder if the game creators weren't smoking weed
at the time of thinking this up.....they are in some small way, a bit funny.
* Shrugs* the Japaniess have an odd sence of humor.

You got to enjoy Haseo's comments on the situation. Anyway, about that
time a boss monster shows up......fun. Well just pull out your twin swords
and wail away at it.

When things are over with you'll head back to town. yay, what fun... >_>

------------------- ------------------- -------------------


------------------- -------------------

So when you've finished the quest you'll get an item, use it on Haseo to
gain +5 maigic defense. Now, log-out for a couple of very important e-mails.

--------------------------
--------------------- No Choice ------------------
--------------------------

well my friends if you want to or not, you have No Choice but to compete
in the Arena. It's unfortunate but nessaccary. So lets try and make the
best of a bad situation by winning Haseo's 3rd Emperor Thrown in a row.

=)

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : 1st round in PK Tournament
Short version: Haseo will be facing the first round of the
toury and it WILL be one heck of a match. And no, Sakaki does not
tell you who you'll be fighting, and trust me when I tell you it
wouldn't do you much good anyway, because this Round will be unlike
any other you've ever faced.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : Notice of Campaign Commencement
Short version: Same old same old.
----------------------------------

Time to log-in and get ready for battle.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Before you run off don't forget the basics:

Save, restock items for Haseo


and Atoli, Restock items in the Guild Shop.

Then transfer over to the Arena.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------

SAVE!!!!!

Save before you do anything else. This will be a long and slow
fight, and once you start there's no going back: it's a do or die
situation.

----------------------------
--------- 7)Tournament:Round One --------------
----------------------------
-Party:Haseo (107),Atoli (107),Kuhn (107)
-Opponets: Not Available (N/A)
-Before the fight advice:

This round, more than any other Tournament round you have
ever been in, is the one that hings the most on equipment
and level. This fight is a five round survival match against
5 parties of Chaotic Pkers. There is no going back once you
enter the waiting room. It's do or die.

See, now aren't you glad I made you level up so much? Now you
stand a chance of actually winning, where as I did this round at
lvl 104 and if it hadn't been for the Doppleganger weapons
I Would have deffinatly lost.

Anyway: Just use crap loads of counter attacks and you should
make it through alright. But go easy on just wildly using skills.
You have to survive 5 matchs with out recovering your SP (Atoli
wont be able to help you with items since using items in the arena
is forbidden)
------------------------------

After the match you'll see some scenes that are rather important.
Everything is going good until tragedy strikes.....

Watch first then come back and read.

Yes, Sirius is comatose. Gone.....


Poor b@$tard. And the ones who put him into a coma are none other than a
new party of Sakaki's little puppets. He's infected three players then
hacked their Characters to grant them strength that bends the rules of
the game. Great, they will have to be delt with eventually. For now, your
hands are tied my friend, and there's nothing you can do.....for now.

Log-out. It's time to move on.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Kaede : To Haseo
Short version: She'd like to meet up with you since
it's been awhile. She'd like you to bring Pi along too.
And I suggest doing so becuase soon things will start to
be revealed concerning Zelkova and Kaede.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : Sirius
Short version: Confirms that Sirius is now a lost one.
She says you need to be carfull, if you fight the Hetero Trio
and lose...you could become a lost one too.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Atoli : AIDA server
Short version: she mentions that the Arena is turning into
an AIDA server and things are likly to get dangerous.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Kuhn : The First Round
Short version: It seems Sirius entered to save his friends.....
even though he knew there was nothing he could do....
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: There's some ppl complaning about
various stuff going on and then some Pics for your
backgrounds.
----------------------------------

Well, that's enough for now. Remember to save then head out.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------
Transfer over to Breg Epona.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

When you arrive you'll meet Pi, aperentally she got an e-mail from
Kaede as well.

I suggest adding Pi and Atoli to your party. Set Pi to "Free-will"


under the stragedy menu.

Note- I think I should tell you that soon you'll need to gain some more
levels, Don't worry though. It's not that bad. You just need to get to
level 110, that's only another 3 levels; not a big deal.

Ok, time to get a move on.


Head out for the next area.

----------------------------
------- 8)Wise, Calamity's, Water Mill -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 105
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Pi
My Level: 107

This is simple. Just get on your steam bike (Hopfully you did bike missions
from vol 2 and have the Tridal Muffler which makes you invisable to monsters)
and just ride around and collect the symbol fragments. I suggest getting
the ones on the west side of the map first then heading to the East side.
Once completed head for the beast Temple.

When you get there cut scenes will occure.

well, it seems Zelkova is something more than your average player. Of course
I was hinting at that all through the first and part of the second game. OH
yes. I know who he is....or rather who he knows and learned all the tricks of
the trade from. Yes, he is more then he seems. But enough of that.
It appears Zelkova was asking if Pi had seen something other than AIDA, maybe
something like......oh I dont know......something worse than AIDA?
So anyway, head back to town and we'll go from there.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

When you get back to town Pi will take off again in search of Yata.

Afterward, do the ussal: Save, restock items for Haseo


and Atoli, Restock items in the Guild Shop.

For now you need to gain some levels. I know it's kinda a pain but
you really do need to keep up with this or else you're going to get
mowed over later in the game.

Add Kuhn and Atoli (if you haven't done so) to your party and lets head
for a new area to train at.

----------------------------
---Random) Buzzing, Genesis's, Drama-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 111
Party: Haseo, Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 107

Your new goal is to reach level 110. This is only three levels
higher then you are right now. So: A) not hard to get to, and B) you
will generally own anyone you fight during the next batch of story events
including your opponents in next round in the tournament who will only
be level 107. The reason why I'm having you level up so high is because if
you don't: YOU WILL GET KILLED LATER IN THE GAME!

Well, enough of that, time for some training:


Kill monstes, Collect itmes, open chest, all around pwn everything.
I should also mention that due to story events you obviously now have
the area hacking program for Haseo. This means that you can Area Hack
normal areas, not just Lost Grounds.

so when ever you run across a place where the screne starts to flicker and
you start to hear white noise just press the R1 button. This will start
the area hack. It will reveal the abnormal data. If you walk up to it
and search it you can recive healing items and key items called Cheat Codes.
These are very usefull later in the game. So try and collect as many as you
can while out and about training.

I suggest using your broad sword for any fights involving the enemy called
Captian Hook-> cause they will counter with paralyize. Which can get annoying.
Using the Broad sword cuts down on the chance of getting countered Vs a
weapon
like the twin swords.

When you clear the field head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

When you get back to town do the ussal: Save, restock items for Haseo
and Atoli, Restock items in the Guild Shop.

Well, my trip to this above mentioned field turned out rather good.
I got to level 109 and just a few hundred EXP till level 110.
Also I managed to get a level 110 Robes for Atoli and lvl 110 Light
Armor for Kuhn. And also some lvl 116 Armor for Haseo that he won't be
able to use for awhile, but that's ok.

Anyway I'm going to head out to another field just to gain some quick
EXP to top off my level and reach the goal of 110. If you find yourself
needing more time to reach the desired goal do so now. What ever the
case may be, don't move on till you've reached the desired level.

----------------------------
--Random)Screaming, Swift, Hand Song-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 112
Party: Haseo, Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 109

This area took me a little while longer then I thought it would.


But none the less it paid off in the end. See I was able to get
my total of virus cores finially up to 50. Now I can go and Upgrade
Haseo's Lost Weapon for the last time with Virus Cores. I also got a
set of level 113 Twin Swords which will come in handy later in the
game considering that I'm not using the Doppleganger weapons for
the benfiet of those who didnt get them in the last game.....*sigh*

Well, at any rate, I was able to top off my level and get some decent itmes.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

When you get back to town do the ussal: Save, restock items for Haseo
and Atoli, Restock items in the Guild Shop.
When that's done it'll be time to upgrade the Lost Weapons.

--Note: If you do not have 50 or more Virus Cores then don't bother
with the following few paragraphs. Instead skip ahead in the
guide and log-out.

However, if you do have 50 or more virus Cores follow the following


instructions->

Transfer over to Dol Dona.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Head for the Lost Grounds.

----------------------------
------- Hidden, Forbidden, Sacrement-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Lost Grounds/Landscape
Area Level: None
Party: Haseo, Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 110

Just walk up to the Scythe and select the option to upgrade the weapon.
You'll recive a message telling you that in order to complete the Weapon's
growth you will need to fight a lvl 135 Seal Beast. Of course you are WAY
too weak for that and it's no use in trying cause you'll just die.

From now on you'll be working to upgrade Atoli's Staff and Kuhn's Gun.

When you're done head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Transfer to Breg Epona and then just log-out.

Alright, time for some intresting events. This next round will be fun.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp. : Notice of 2nd Round for the Tournament
Short version: It's time to kick some seriosu butt.
If you didnt reckonize the names I wouldn't blame you. After all
you haven't seen these guys since you started Vol 1.
Time for some pay back.
----------------------------------

The follwoing e-mails should be read from bottom to


top so that they all make sense.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Kaede : About Sakaki
Short version: says thx for your effort to stop Sakaki.
Dang right we're gana stop him....just got to figure out
how first.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Zelkova : How to Defeat Sakaki
Short version: lol, speak of the Devil. Zelkova is here to give
you some info on how to beat Sakaki into a finly minced meat pie.

Alright, Zelkova to the rescue, he just gave you the key to bringing
Sakaki's rein of terror to an end.

Ok: Without AIDA Sakaki is just a normal player and there for CC Corp
would have no reason at all to still allow him to continue his dictatorship.
So, if Haseo can some how get Sakaki to enter one of the fights, Haseo can
fight Sakaki with his avatar and remove AIDA from him..... Perfect!

Just one problem, how is Haseo going to get Sakaki to jump right into
the middle of a match? hmmm, who knows, someone might just help Haseo out...

Also, I should note that this e-mail confirms that Zelkova knows about AIDA
and more importantly that Haseo has an Avatar....WOW. That's odd. This
explains
why Zelkova (who is like lvl 127) was in a low leveled dungeon when Pi and
Haseo first met him, remember? It was when AIDA attacked Pi and Haseo had to
fight her. My guess is that Zelkova was there looking into what exactly AIDA
was.
----------------------------------

Now the last e-mail.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : Inside CC Corp.
Short version:

Ok this is a VERY important e-mail. One of two explaining Yata's past.

1st: Zelkova knows alot and seems to be on your side, yeah Pi, no Duh.
2nd: Yata used to be a hacker and an informant (aka sells information for
cash)
Anyway, Yata had skills that CC Corp. liked. not to mention he was connected
to
the Legendary .hackers (aka the group of heros from the original game series)

So the hired him to get rid of AIDA. Well, what you have to understand is
that
Yata wanted to research AIDA and understand it were as CC Corp. wanted it to
be destroyed completely. And so Yata found himself and CC Corp. wanting two
very different things.

Well anyway, the big thing this e-mail tells you is that Yata was once
a very skilled hacker and also a character from the original game.
And if any of the vetrans of the series are worth their salt, they know
by now exactly who Yata was from the old games.
----------------------------------

ok, enough of that, time for some revenge. Log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

As you Log-in to the game some scenes will take


place involving Saku, Taihaku, and of course Endrance.
Hmm....intresting developement we have here. This
could get intresting.

Add Atoli and Kuhn to your party.


make sure to give them the lvl 110 armor that you
should have gotten from training.

Once done transfer over to the Arena.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------

SAVE. Then head for the arena counter and enter the 2nd round.

-Also Note- enjoy the scenes for this story event, they are by far some
of my favorite.

----------------------------
--------- 9)Tournament:Round Two --------------
----------------------------
-Party:Haseo (110),Atoli (110),Kuhn (110)
-Opponets: IYOTEN (107), Asta (106), Maniac Helluger (106)
-Before the fight advice:

These guys are hard core easy compared to the can of whoop @$$
you are about to open on them. Just use counter attacks, Awakening, and
all around anything you like to beat them to death.

Good luck, see you on the other side.


------------------------------

Well, did you enjoy it? I did.

Ok then, log-out and read your mail.

There's a topic on the Official Forums if you want to read it. Just
some ppl saying it's dangerous to play the game......well, about time
someone figured it out.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Kuhn : Quest
Short version: Kuhn wants to know if you
feel like going on a quest. From here on in you'll
start to notice a pattern in the events of the game:

Quest/Story Event then a Tournament round. Repeat.


This will go on till the toury is over then this
patteren will be broken.
----------------------------------

For now, read your other e-mail.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Matsu : He got me
Short version: Antares beat the poop out of Matsu. hehe, way to
go old man. He's not a legend for nothing. The first arena emperor.
Lol, I knew he was famous, I just didn't know he was THAT famous.
----------------------------------

Before you go running off you should check the News and the Forums.

----------------------------------
-News- :
Short version:
Apperentally the people in charge of fighting viruses and dealing with
computer hackers have announced that AIDA is now considered a virius.....lol,
it's only half true seeing as AIDA is actually an AI program. So yeah,
it is kind of a virus. It's just one that has a mind of it's own and
can't be destroyed normally. Kinda like a super virus.
Anyway, in other news. The Professur
(the guy in Online Jack)
has been enjoying the new boom in the sales of his book he wrote. The
one that got Online Jack intrested in investigating 'The World'. Apperentally
it's become rather famous.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: Just some ppl asking how to get
CrimsonVS cards and then some pictures in the Apkallu.
----------------------------------

well, log-in and lets enjoy a nice quiet quest.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Add Atoli and Kuhn to your party and go accept the quest.

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------


----- 5)The Chim Chim Song
----------------------------
------- 10) Glowing, Passive, Fairy(Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Cave
Area Level: 105
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 110

You'll notice that during the quest Kuhn seems kinda down all of
a sudden. hmm...

For now, lets get one with the objective.

Floor 1: have Atoli cast 'Ap Do' (increase speed by 50%) on


all party members. Then use a fairy orb to reveal the map.

For now all you need to do is make your way to the next floor
down. As you make your way to the next floor you see some scenes
here and there where Kuhn remains being slighty depressed....

Floor 2: Now, use a fairy orb and you'll see that there are several
dead ends on this floor. Well, we can deal with that in a minute.
More forward until you see a scene with a stray Chim Chim. Afterward,
if you follow the Chim you'll come to a fork in the road. Here you
need to take the right path. This will take you to the objective and
the end of the quest.

But of course before you can reach your objective you are met by
a very annoying boss monster. Just use your broad sword to pumble
him until his armor breaks. Then switch to your twin blades to finish
the job. Then continue on. When you reach the end of the path the scenes
will take place and end the quest. You'll auto finish.

------------------- ------------------- -------------------


------------------- -------------------

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Lol, awwwww, poor Kuhn. Looks like he's been adbandoned again. Wow, talk
about a loser. Dating Online?! Come on.....*sigh* he needs to get back with
Mia from //Liminality.

--Ok, well it's time for a fresh batch of training. This time you only need
to gain 2 levels bringing you to level 112. Don't worry it shouldn't be all
that hard so buck up and lets get this over with.

----------------------------
--Random)Screaming, Wrath's, Generation-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 114
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level:110

This area isn't that great for leveling up. That just happens in this game.
Some times it'll be easy to level up and then other times it just isn't.
I really doubt you'll reach level 112 in just one area and it wouldn't
suprise me if you need to go to another area to level up. Do so if you
need to.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

when you've finially reach level 112. It'll be time to move on.
Don't forget the ussal stuff: Items, restock guild shop, save.
When you're done, log-out.

Read e-mails from Bottom to top in order to understand everything.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : campaign Comencment
Short version: Same old same old. Go to Mac Anu for
the campaign
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : Notice for Tournament Semi Finals
Short version: This time you've got to fight Antares. And
although it's a good thing that you need to beat him so he
doesn't face the Hetero Trio (who would make him a Lost One),
things will get messy before the end of this next round.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Anatres : Master against Student
Short version: Haseo and Antares are going to fight
it out, man to man. All out, holding nothing back. Lets
give him a match to be proud of.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : Sakaki
Short version: I don't know abut you, but I am getting
sick and tired of having to deal with this @$$hole. The sooner
he gets removed from his dictatorship the better.

Anyway, CC Corp thinks Sakaki can control AIDA. Which is an


obvious lie, but they're really desprate at this point and have
little choice but to believe what Sakaki is telling them. They've
been backed into a corner as much as you have.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Kuhn : message from Pi
Short version: Pi is toughing it out as she's working
against time and even her own company. This are looking bad.
Haseo has got to buy her more time to work with.
----------------------------------

Time to get this on with.

As you log-in you'll see some scenes with Sakaki and the
Higher-ups from CC corp. Apperentally, CC Corp/ isnt happy
with what Sakaki is up to, but like Haseo: they have little
choice in the matter.
----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Transfer to the Arena.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------

Save, then head for the next match at the Counter.

----------------------------
--------- 11)Tournament: Semi Finals --------------
----------------------------
-Party:Haseo (112),Atoli (112),Kuhn (112)
-Opponets: Antartes (110), Bigwig (106),DAIKOKU (106)
-Before the fight advice:

Your best bet for winning this match is just going right for
Antares. Although considering the levels I'm having you train to
you will probably be able to handel these guys fairly easily.

Just keep an eye on Antares, he likes to counter attack you alot.

Good luck, see you on the other side. And Watch all the scenes
afterward. If you thought things were bad before, they are about to
get ALOT worse.
------------------------------
Don't say I didn't warn you this might happen. Haseo's been found out
and now everyone knows he has special powers. Even though Sakaki is
wrong in saying that Haseo's Character is hacked. Haseo didn't hack his
character, CC Corp made it with special abilites. No, Haseo's power is
one of the 8 pillars and foundation on which the game was built. In other
words, Haseo's power has been around since the game was created. He's just
the first one to use it.

--------------------------------
Movie- Incrimination
Short Version/Main points: This fricking little movie shows
Haseo when he first gained the abilty to use his avatar. IF you
remember correctly, he didn't use it very Wisely and made some
mistakes. well Sakaki uses these to his advantage and shows them
to everyone out of context to what happened.
--------------------------------

Ok, so basicly Haseo was about to be banned from the game completly
when Taihaku shows and says that he will deal with Haseo personally.
That if Sakaki will allow Haseo to stay in the game, Taihaku will
face and beat Haseo in the title match. Of course your fear concerning
Saku and Endrance have been confirmed. They've sided with Sakaki......

Well, thankfully the pride of Taihaku just saved Haseo's @$$ from being
banned from the game which would end the hope of saving Shino. Now, all
that's left is to do you best and face Taihaku in the Title Match.

Log-out when you leave the Arena.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Antares : Quest
Short version: he says it'd be nice to have some
fun and go on a quest. You know just to blow off
some steam about what happened in the Arena.
----------------------------------

-Warning!-
(If anyone reading this guide is easily offened by crude
remarks using the word 'gay', I ask that you ignore the
following e-mail and that you skip it. Thankyou.)
----------------------------------
-E-mail- Sakaki : To the dirty, Cheating 'Terror of Death'
Short version:

Sakaki wants to tell you that he likes men and is very Gay. And
enjoy's AIDA becuase of his gayness and futher more he wants you
to know that he, Sakaki, is a little man touch on top of being Gay.

Aside from being gay, Sakaki tells you he has the power to mind control
people with AIDA.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: Some people talking about
dissapointed they are in Haseo. But as the posts go on
several people start realizing that things aren't adding up.

Well, anyway, There some pics in the Apkulla.


----------------------------------

Ok, well anyway, lets get on with things. We got to move it


so we can hurry and un-thrown Sakaki. Time for some training.

Log-in (transfer to Breg Epona)

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Add Atoli and Kuhn to your party and head out for a new area to
train at.

----------------------------
--Random)Sceaming, Wrath's, Pure Bred-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 116
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 112

Kill Monsters, get items, earn money, est.

You know the drill: reach level 114 then continue on.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

First take care of the basics: Restock the Guild shop, Restock items for
Atoli and Haseo, and look around for armor and weapons upgrades.

Next, if you managed to get your hands on a pair of lvl 113 Twin swords.
I suggest equiping them now. Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start
looking around for equipment that is around lvl 110-120.

Ok, I want you to head to Hidden,Forbidden, Sacrament. You should have


enough virus Cores to upgrade Atoli's Lost Weapon, proabaly twice.

After that, remove Kuhn from your Party and add Antares.

You need to get the following equipment:

Haseo-
lvl 113 Twin swords
lvl 101 Broad Sword
Lost Weapon Scythe-upgrade lvl 3
lvl 108 Heavy Armor
lvl 95 Acessory

Atoli-
Lost Weapon Staff- upgrade lvl 2
lvl 101 Robes
lvl 95 Acessory

Antares-
lvl 101 Sword
lvl 101 Light Armor
lvl 95 Acessory

Once you have all of this, head for the Quest shop and accept the new
quest.
---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------
----- 4)Steam Professor's Reshearch
-----------------------------------------
------- 12)Undercover, Lakeside's, Metal Beast(Q) -------
----------------------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 108
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Antares
My Level: 114

All the monsters in this are will be a cake walk.

This quest is rather simple once you know how exactly to


do it.

1st: you need to go to three of the Alters and defeat the monsters
there. You will place one of the wave generators everytime you defeat
an enemy party of monsters.

2nd: When all the Generators are place, begin to walk around the Edge of
the lake, eventually you will encounter the enemy boss.

Just use your Scythe to pound him to death.


It's not that hard of a fight.

When you finish you'll return to town and auto finish the quest.

------------------- ------------------- -------------------


------------------- -------------------

Once done, log-out.

----------------------------------
-"crimsion VS"-

If you check CrimsonVS you'll notice that by this time you've managed
to get your rank down to #1. All with the same deck. =) Told you it'd
work, heheh. My record was about 550 Wins and only 100 Losses.

Don't do the Title Match just yet, Save it for later if you want.
----------------------------------

when done with that, check your e-mails.

-Party:Haseo (114),Atoli (114),Kuhn (114)
-Opponets: Hetero (109), Leucistic (107), Axanthis (107)
-Before the fight advice:

You're best bet is just to kill the leader, but considering how
completly awsome you are now that you're lvl 114, you will
completly own these guys. So it's really not a big deal.

The biggest thing you'll have to worry about is the fact that these
guys are very very good at counter attacking you. So watch yourself.

When you get their HP down a ways, a scene will happen and you
will enter an Avatar Battle.

-------

You see, the Herto Trio aren't the bad guys, they're as much the victums
of Sakaki's Rein of Terror as you are. They've been forced to do things
that they'd rather not. They been controled by sakaki.....poor guys....

Time to set them free.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Grunwald>
My Level: 114

-Enemy Attacks:

Normal Slash- The AIDA will come right at you. As soon as it gets in range
it'll slash at you with it's arms. Wait till it gets close then Dash to the
side to avoid being pumbled.

Archene Shot- Shoots spider web stuff at you. Either slash through it
or dash to the side to avoid.

Kobold Bullet- It will unleash loads of shots at you, wait until the last
second and then slash away at them as them come at you.

Archno Trap- This is like one of Magus' attack. At the lines expand just
stay still. As the come down move a little to the right. As they come back
up, move back to where you were, a little to the left.

-Stragedy:
This fight is very simular to the fight you had with the AIDA that
infected Bouxdeau. Only this fight will be slightly easier.

The biggest thing it to pound away with shots as much as possible


and to stun as often as you can. The Attacks from this AIDA can
really rack up over time. So try not to get hit too much.

Once it protect breaks, Charge up Data Drain while dodgeing the


incomming shoots. When it's fully charaged wait till the AIDA stops
and let it rip. You can get in close for more of a point black range
target if you think it'll help you more. It works better sometimes.

-----------------------------------

After the battle watch the scenes.

When it's all over with, Log-out.

Before we head out you have some training to do. I know, I know.
It proabaly isn't high on your to do list, but trust me. You need
to do this. There's a boss fight comming up that is not easy and if
you don't level up now, you'll have to do ALOT of leveling up
later.

Our new objective is to reach level 116. So add Atoli and Kuhn to
your party and lets get going.

-------------------------------
--Random) Screaming, wrath's, Two Wings-------
-------------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 118
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 114

You should be able to get plenty of good items here.


Do what you gotta do and get back to town when you reach
level 116.

If you found yourself comming up short with EXP, then go to


another area and finish off leveling up.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

when you get back to town first


take care of the basics: Save, Items, restock Guild Shop,
and keep an eye out for new equipment.

when all that's done go to the Quest shop and accept the
new quest.

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------


----- 3)Story of Kudan
----------------------------
------- 14)Looming, Muddled, Seer(Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Temple Dungeon
Area Level: 110
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 116
This is probably my favorite quest in the whole game series.
Although it seems to be your run of the mill quest, it has
a very intresting and unexpected out come.

Use Fairy Orb. Then Have Atoli Cast 'Ap Do' on all
party members for faster movment speed.

1st Block: Nothing really too important.


Just get to the second block

2nd Block: Not much, just get to block 3.

3rd Block: You need to head for the center


room in the far south of the block.

You'll see a scene, afterward run up to the Kudan and give


it three good kicks right in a row. That will trigger some scenes
where it will fortell your future for you.....unlike you're local
fortune teller. This little bugger acutally is giving you a TRUE
prediction of your future!

"A grave danger that is creeping up on our world...."


"A Resurrecting Demon and the abominable Army of Death that Follows him..."
"And you are destined to take part in the great battle to come..."
"And when all is done that must finially be done..."
"You will have a surprising and unexpected encounter...."

You'll auto finsh the quest, and you'll get a peek at what might happen
at the ending of the game.
------------------- ------------------- -------------------
------------------- -------------------

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

well, when that's over, I don't want you to log-out just yet. There's
one more quest you need to do before running off to the title match.

Go to the Quest shop and Accept the only other quest that is avalible
right now.

Being that this is a solo Quest. Remove Atoli and Kuhn from your Party.

NOTE!- Before you enter this quest I should warn you now, if you did
not complete the Bike Missions in Vol 2 and so earn the rare bike parts
from said missions: you will find this quest rather difficult to complete.

Your best chance at success is to go to the Bike Parts shop in Breg Epona
and buy the best Bike Parts that you can find.
--Best Bike Parts from Breg Epona:
210 Engine
Type 800 Armor
Type 800 muffler
190 Tires

--Best Bike parts from vol 2 Bike Missions:


Kirisame Engine
Kurogane Armor
Tidal Muffler
Night Tires

Well, with that said, lets get on with things.

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------


----- 7)The Goblins Are Comming!
----------------------------
------- 15)Running, Speed's, Rider(Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Highland Canyon
Area Level: 96
Party: Haseo,(none), (none)
My Level: 116

Ok, you have to survive 4 rounds of tag with the Goblins.

--Round 1---
Haseo, the Terror of Death VS. Stehoney

Ok, the first two arent all that hard. Start off and run into
some chims to fill one of the Nitro guages.

Next chase after the Goblin. wait until you're right behind him
then hit the R1 button for a boost. If he's turing you cut in on
the inside of his turn you can cut him off and nail him.

--Round 2--
Haseo, the Terror of Death VS. Jonue

This one is pretty easy, just fill the nitro guage and give chase.
You have to hit him twice though in order to beat him.

--Round 3--
Haseo, the Terror of Death VS. zyan and Albert

Pick one of the two and just go for him. Remember to cut them
off in their turns and to use the nitro.

You need to hit Albert 3 times and Zyan 2 times to beat them.

--Final Round--
Haseo, the Terror of Death
VS.

Martina, The Speedy

This one is considerably harder.

You have to hit her 3 times and she gets faster


everytime you hit her. Just use the same strgedys as
you have with the other goblins and you'll win.

When it's over you'll complete the quest.

-------Town: Breg Epona -------

well, now that that's done. we can move on.

Log-out. It's time to put Sakaki in his place.


It's time to revolt.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : Notice of Title Match

begining of the end.

Short version: Just some pics for your background.
----------------------------------

Alright then, lets log-in and get read to go.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Add Atoli and Kuhn to your party and lets go.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------

Save! Then head for the Arena counter.

Now ladies and gentelmen, the moment you've been waiting for
since Vol 1. The Title Match with the Saga Palace Emperor.
Taihaku, one of the strongest players in the whole game. One of only
two Conquerors of the 'Forest of Pain'. Now is the moment. Will Haseo
beat the infected Taihaku and win his third straight Title match, or
will Haseo's luck finially run out when facing AIDA.

----------------------------
-------- 16)Tourtament: Title Match --------------
----------------------------
-Party:Haseo (116),Atoli (116),Kuhn (116)
-Opponets: Taihaku (113), Endrance (109), Sakubo (109)
-Before the fight advice:

Well, there's good news and bad news. The Good news is that
Taihaku has decided to fight you solo with out Endrance or Sakubo.
The Bad News is that he's still really hard to beat.

This is a hard battle my friends, get buckeled down, this is going to


hurt.

Start off using you're Twin sword and pound on Taihaku as much
as you can to begin with. Taihaku may attempt to use Dust Bullet on
you, you can counter attack this with your own arts.

His other major attack you need to watch out for is his Magic Crimple
spell. It bascily slows you way down and makes it impossable to
use Arts or spells for about 15 seconds.

The best thing you can do is attemp to run away from Taihaku when he
uses this skill. As soon as he stops walking toward you, make sure to
block. Becuase Taihaku will raise his sword and fire a shot into the air
that will damage you if you're not blocking.

And what every you do, DO NOT use Arts unless you are counter-attacking.
The reason is because, well Taihaku will counter you and it won't be
prety. The best thing is just to wail on him with you twin Swords using
regular attacks. Then when Taihaku goes to use skills, just Counter-attack
him.

The match will end when he has about 500 HP left.


Watch the scenes until you're ready to face off with an
avatar battle.
------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- Devouring Dark
Short Version/Main points: Haseo almost get consumed by AIDA
when he destroy's Tiahaku's sword. But thankfully Atoli was
there to bring him back and he was able to fight off AIDA's
infection.
--------------------------------

As the match with Taihaku ends Sakaki gets angry and decideds
to take matters into his own hands. He Jumps down into the arena
and Is about to finish off Haseo when....TA-DA! Endrance saves
the day by stabing him in the back. See Endrance would never
really betray Haseo, he was just looking for a chance to make
his move.

Good thing too.


Anyway, Sakaki goes AIDA/Avatar style and summons his AIDA.

--------------------------------
Movie- Purge
Short Version/Main points: Because of Haseo's close brush with
AIDA, he is unable to summon Skeith by himslef, So Atoli, Kuhn, and
Endrance all led him their strength to summon his Avatar and Fight
Sakaki. Alright! Time to FINIALLY finish off Sakaki.
--------------------------------
-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: AIDA <Victorian>
My Level: 116

-Enemy Attacks:

Normal Slash- the AIDA will do a nifty little spin move to wind
up and then charge you, where it will slash away at you.
Dashing is the best way to avoid this attack.

Normal Shot- Sakaki's AIDA will fling Feathers at you,


Slash to break through this attack.

Royal Bullet- Lots of shots homing in on you. Basicly wait till the
last second then slash.

Excelent ray- Basicly Sakaki will fire off a couple Lasers at you.
Just continue to dash out of the way to avoid this.

Elegent Orb- This is one of the best ways to stun Sakaki's AIDA.
He will form an orb of dark energy and then launch it at you.
You can hit it back at him if you complete a full Slash combo
on it. Just dont Slash back too soon or you wont perform the full
combo correctly.

-Stragedy:

Just keep blasting away with Shots until he stuns, the best opertunity
to stun him is during his Normal Shots. Then move in quick for some slashes.

Eventually he will Protect Break, when he does do your best to avoid getting
hit, then move in close and let Data Drain rip.

Other then that, not alot to say. Just make sure to enjoy the Scenes
after the fight. They are rather good. well, I mean except for the
fact that Endrance keeps plegeding gay love to Haseo....
But other then that they are rather good.
-----------------------------------

Well now. Sakaki fell into the Outer Dungeons after the Avatar battle
with Haseo. Where, of course, he met Ovan. It seems that Ovan has been
pulling the strings the entire time. Sakaki was only acting under orders
from him. Great. Well anyway, it seems Ovan was only using Sakaki becuase
he up and leaves him to face 3 very unhappy people

At that point the Azure Trio shows up and puts Sakaki in his place.
Thank God, it's about time he finially died.

well, now it's time to start in on the next section of the game.
Anyway, back in town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------

Save, then head over to Mac Anu

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Well, looks like you can finally use Raven to meet at again.
Go and see how Pi's been doing.

--------------------------
--------------------- Key of the Twilight ------------------
--------------------------

As you enter Raven you see some scenes with Pi. She explains that she
found Yata in the real world and that at the moment he's asleep. However
it's going to take some convincing to get him to return to the Game and
resume work for CC Corp after their betrayal.

Well, there's not alot you can do at the moment so Log-out and check your
mail.

You've got a long list of e-mails. and you need to read them going from
bottom to top, other wise they might not all make sense.
----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : About Yata
Short version: Pi just talks about Yata
and how he's doing. But Haseo points out that
only Pi really understands him.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Ovan : Congratulations
Short version: Ovan gives you a very clear
explaination of what's been going on. I don't think I need
to re-cap on it as it was very well explained. Really all I
can say is this: Although everything he's doing seems so cruel and
so wronge. Ovan doesn't enjoy what he's doing. He's doing it
because he has to.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Taihaku : To Haseo
Short version: He says he has something important to
talk to you about. He says he'll meet you at the Icolo
@Home.
----------------------------------

Short version: He says congrats and that Canard will
be really really famous now.
----------------------------------

says he's still going to try and rebuild Moon Tree.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Antares : Good Job
Short version: Haseo still denies that he is
Antares' student, lol =P
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: Just some random Pictures.
----------------------------------

well time to log-in and go talk to some ppl.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Save, before you do anything.


Before you run off to meet Taihaku. Go out
into the City and get on your steam bike.
Enjoy a nice long ride down to the Harbor,
where you need to board the ship and head
for the Isle of Kings. There you'll have an event
with the Announcer for the Tournaments. It's not
really like the other times you've been there, no
one is there, just you and the announcer. When the
event is over head back to the ship and sail back to town.

When you get back head to the chaos gate and warp over
to the Arena.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------

I know you haven't been to Icolo in awhile, but


it's behind the Chaos Gate. Look on the map
if you're really lost.

As you enter you'll see some scenes with Taihaku. They're


pretty sweet. Not alot to point out in their conversation.
However. I will say this.

---Speculation Time----

When Haseo asked, "If that's how you feel then why
are you even in "The world"?

Taihaku replies, "who knows."

There are some of us who've been with the series for awhile.
And some, not all, of us think that Taihaku was once a very well
known character from the original games.

I've been hinting at his true Idenity for awhile. Here's the evidence
to back this up: 1- Taihaku is one of the strongest players in the game.
2- In //ROOTS he was talking with Ovan about doing the Forest of Pain Quest.
And Taihaku mentions he wonders where Aura went. (meaning he was one of only
a few people to acctually know about her existence. This very possibly places
him in the group of the original .hackers from the original series.
3- This character is the type of person who would always keep playing
"The World" even after R1 got shut down.

Add it all up and you get: Taihaku = Bulmung

Granted there's no absolute proof of this. But I like to believe it's true.
Taihaku reminds me alot of what an older, more grown up version of Bulmung
would be like. But hey, that's just what me and a couple other people think.
There's no solid proof.
-------------------------

When you get done there's a short mail from Saku. And get ready for this one,
because this is intresting. Head to the back alley behind the arena counter,
you know like where the Black Market sales person is, yeah there. Go now.

As you approch the place, a scene happens. Watch and enjoy.

Saku admits that she doesn't exisit in the real world.


(See I told you so in my guide from vol 2. And I was only
making an educated guess) So anyway, she tells Haseo that
because he, Atoli, and Kuhn are looking out for Bo now, that
she isn't needed anymore. And She's leaving.......

Afterward you'll get some e-mails. HOWEVER! I DO NOT want you


to log-out just yet. Because of upcomming events you need to level
up just a little bit. You should currently be level 116, you need to
get to level 118. This isn't nessacary for the upcoming event, but it
will be nessacary to get to level 120 a little after that. Which means
it only makes sense to level up a little now instead of doing it all
at once when you are itching to find out what happens next..........
Ok that was a really long and unnesscary explanation.

Never mind. Just, Level up.

Go to the chaose Gate and warp over to Breg Epona


----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Add Atoli and Kuhn to your party and lets get a move on.

--------------------------------
--Random)Screaming, Wrath's, Alga Grass -------
--------------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 119
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 116

Ok, first off, hopfully you have the keywords for this area. Second, hopfully
you didn't get above level 116. Because, there is a lucky animal here that is
VERY worth getting. The reason being that this lucky animal will give you
Accessory Materials, And especially an item called: Sapphire Eye that renders
the user +50% EXP. Now, what you want to do is go to this area and find the
lucky animal (On the North most island). Kick it then leave the area and go
back to town. Then enter the area again. and repeat the process, UNTIL you
have 3 Sapphire Eyes. Keep one for Haseo, give one to Atoli and the
other to Kuhn.
(Note: Every time you get a Sapphire Eye, put it into storage. Other wise
the lucky animal wont give you another one.)

This will make things easy in the future. Or at least better.

-After you get 3 Sapphire Eyes, then you can begin to train. (Make sure
you customize your party's equipment when ever you train)
This area doesn't really have many good monsters to level up on. So I won't
be suprised if you need to visit one or two more areas to reach level 118.

------------------------------
--Random)Screaming, Muddled, Dead Wood-------
------------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 120
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 117

There's lot of good stuff to kill here. So train away


until you reach level 118.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------
Hopefully you came across a certian peice of armor that Kuhn
can use now, it's a level 118 Light Armor. Make sure Kuhn puts
it to good use.

Now then,Make sure to switch everyone back to their normal


set-up with their Accessory Materials.

Take care of the normal chores: Items, equipment, restock


guild shop, ect.

Log-out and check you Mail.

Read the e-mails (on the Game) from the bottom to top so that
they make sense.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Taihaku : Forest of Pain
Short version: He askes you to save Alkaid and Sirius
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : Coronation Ceremony postponed
Short version: Yeah, that sucks, but what do you expect.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Sakubo (Bo) : My Sister
Short version: Wow, talk about weird. Bo wants Saku to
stay.....
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : Yata
Short version: Yata has gone MIA in the real world
and Pi and no idea where he went to. She wants everyone
to come to Raven. ASAP.
----------------------------------

Ok, time to get down to bussiness.

Log-in and lets go.

As you start to log-in there'll be some scenes with Ovan


and Yata. And you learn some intresting things. Continue
when the scenes end.
----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

when you enter the city, select the Chaos Gate and head to
Mac Anu.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Now, you knwo the drill, head off to Raven.

When you enter Raven, scenes will ensue. Watch them all and then
continue with the guide.

Pi's taken over in Yata's absence from the Serpent of lore.


She mentions that the position is free since CC Corp big wigs
are still trying to figure out who to blame the Sakaki problem
on. I mean, it was a royal mess after all.

--------------------------------
Movie- Crazed Yata
Short Version/Main points: Not sure what was up with that.
Looks like Yata is awakening. And it doesn't look fun, in fact
he looks completly crazed to me.
--------------------------------
Pi wants you to go with her and beat a hastey path to where
Yata is. Well, alright then. Lets get going!!

Head for the Chaos Gate. Warp to Breg Epona

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Add Atoli and Pi to your party, make sure Pi is


set to 'Free-will' under the stragedy menu.
Save before you head out.

-------------------------------
------- 17)Ethical, Prodigy's, Prophecy-------
-------------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Dungeon
Area Level: 110
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Pi
My Level: 118

Heheh, it's time. Time for Haseo to become fully grown, fully
matured.

Floor 1-
When you enter this dungeon use a fairy ord and speed spells from
Atoli. The make a B-line for the Beast statue on the loswest floor.

Floor 2-
Nothing special, just keep moving to the next floor.

Floor 3-
Just head for the North East room. And prepare for a boss fight.

You see some scenes where Yata's avatar goes berserk. Not good!
Ok Haseo, lets do this.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Fidchell
My Level: 118

-Enemy Attacks:
Normal Shot- Fidchell will fire off a wave of shots, much like
Gorre from vol 2. You can slash throgh these shots or dash to
avoid.

Spinning Death- Fidchell takes the mask from his face and
throws it at Skeith. This is just like the Tiger claw attack
From the Azure Flame god. Just deflect the attack when it comes
near you with on flick of your scythe.

Quadra Halo- The four disks surrounding Fidchell will line


up and fire a battry of energy beams at you. You have to be very very
carfull. Hold still and the beams will miss you when they fire. Then
they'll start to move (ussally to the right) Just bearly tilt the
joy stick to move with the beams safely in the small space between
the beams.

Data Drain- Use the two fingure technique I taught you and smash the
X and Square button fast. You should be able to break free qucikly.

Lesser Data drain- Fidchell will form a lesser form of DD


and will shoot it at you. If you perform a full combo of
slash on it, it will rebound on Fidchell and stun him.

-Stragedy: Just keep pounding him with shots. The best chance to stun
him is when he unleases his rapid fire two or three times in a row.
You ussally can land enough hits to get him to stun.

His thing where he likes to dissapear and reappear else where can get
annoying. He should always appear to the left.

--When he protect breaks charge DD and Watch out for his rapid fire.
Dash to the right or left to avoid. Also, He'll attempt to run to the side
as to make it so you cant hit him with DD while he's moving. Therefore you
have to hit him with DD when he goes to fire off his shots at you. You'll
know this is comming when he dissapears and shows up to the left. You'll
have to be quick on the trigger to get him.

Good luck.
-----------------------------------

watch the scenes that take place afterward and then continue.

Well, that was intresting. Anyway, grab the Beast statue treaure and
head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Training time! ......again. >_<

Head back to that least field you used to train at.


This time we need to hit level 120.

------------------------------
--Random)Screaming, Muddled, Dead Wood-------
------------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 120
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 118

There's lot of good stuff to kill here. So train away


until you reach level 120. It shouldn't be too hard with
everyone Having Sapphire Eyes to boost the amount of EXP.

You should be able to get several new lvl 120 accessories here.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Ok, Now. On top of restock the guild shop and getting the normal items
for Atoli and Haseo. I want you to look over this list of equipment
and get this stuff if you can.

When done Log-out.

As you log-out you'll see some scenes with Ovan, he does a little vitory
dance becuase he's finally managed to get all the Avatar user to Awaken.

But, his celebration is short lived. Aina dissapeared to some where and Ovan
is all worried and stuff.

When you reach you're desktop, you'll have a number of e-mails.


(read them in game from bottom to top)

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : GU to resume acctivites

Short version: Ahhh, finially some more confermation on the

At some point Ovan changed. That's when things started happening.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : AIDA signal
Short version: She says a very strong AIDA signal is comming
from Breg Epona. That really might not be good at all. I mean:
AIDA in a town! Yikes! better look into it, and fast.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Sakubo (Saku) : Just in case
Short version: Read the e-mail and hit the x button.
Reply: "Bo's big sister"
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: There's an awesome rumor on the
boards. It's really good stuff, especially since
it will affect the game just a little later on.
I'll give a full explanation when it comes up again
later. For now I'll leave you hanging with the fact
that Net slum is still around.
----------------------------------

When done, Save and log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

As you enter you'll see some scenes with Bo and Aina.


Then you'll meet up with Pi. Afteward, go to the warp point
and warp to the "3 way junction". From there, either ride
your steam bike or walk down to the end of the alley way.

You'll see some quick scenes where Aina and Bo dissapear.


Add Atoli and Pi into your party and lets Area hack the
anomily. Press R1 after you have your party together.

This will lead you into an outer dungeon.

-------------
---Outer Dungeon---
-------------

This place is pretty simply really. Just follow the path


like and S curve until you end up at the South Middle most
room. It shouldnt be hard to figure out. Aslo, you'll
have to fight all the monsters in the dungeon in order to
progress the story. Good luck.

At the end, you search renders nothing. Well,return


to town and log-out.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Gaspard : I'm not afraid of any ghost
Short version: He says there's a rumor on the
comunity forum.

-E-mail- Pi : Ghost girl
Short version: Pi says she contacted the player who
saw the girl. He'll meet you in the back streets of
Breg Epona.
----------------------------------

Log-in

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Again warp to the '3 way split' and head down the alley.
You'll meet the guy at the end of the path.

He says he's not talking about it and takes off. At that


point you hear yelling from the Bike shop area. Head back up to
the shops to see whats up: Hopfully a group of angry players has
finially decided to string up Piros and kill him.

Unfortunitly no. Piros comes bounding through saying he knows the key
words to the location of the Ghost girl. Take his tip and head for
the chaos gate. Add Atoli and Pi to your party.

1st Block-

This is one of those crazy warp point puzzels. I'll do my best to


map it out for you guys.

---------------------------------------------

|-| [2 3] [4 5] [ ] [6]
| | |
|_| { }
|
[Exit]-{ }

[ 1]-{ }-{ }-[Start]


[ ]

---------------------------------------------
Directions:

-From Start go and use warp point 1 to get to


warp points 2 and 3. (2 is north of 3)
-Use warp point 3 to get to warp points
4 and 5 (4 is north of 5)
- Use warp point 4 to get to warp point 6
-From warp point 6, walk to exit of Block

2nd Block-

Again you have another maze, but this one isn't as bad.

-----------------------------

[Start]-[ ]-[1]-[3]
| |
[Exit]-[8] [4]-[2]

[5]-[4*] [6 7]

-------------------------------
Directions:

-Use warp point 4 to get to 4*


(yes 4,other ones are useless)

-Walk to warp point 5 and use it to get to


warp points 6 and 7.

- Use warp point 7 to get to warp


point 8 (7 is north of 6)

-From warp point 8 walk to Exit


3rd Block-

This block is more or less straight forward.

Just head straight, don't turn south. You'll see the screne
flicker in the second room. Press R1 to area hack. Chose to
warp.

-------------
--Outer Dungeon--
-------------

And here yet again is a new maze. Follow these instructions.

------------------------------

[3]-[ ] [ ]-[Start]

------------------------------

Directions:

-Take warp point 3 to warp points


4 and 5 (4 is west and slighly north of 5)

-Take warp point 5 to 6/the finish.

Finially, you reached the end. Well now, that


could have been worse. Watch the scenes and
enjoy.

When done head back to town.

----Floor 1

This floor is prety simple. You'll find the there is more or


less one central path to follow to get to the next floor. Along
the way, no matter which way you go, you'll run into the Pkers
you need to find and defeat.

Use Fairy orb and Atoli's Speed+ spell to hurry the process
along.

--Pker's Group #1--

Greedy Cervantes: easy enough, just pound away.


Broad sword is a good idea.
--Pker's Group #2--

Garden Michelle: Take him out second. Broad sword might be best here.
Fiery Genie-Five: Take her out first. Scythe is a good idea here.

----Floor 2

Central Path, all the way.

--Pker's Group #3--

Wicked Ibaku: Take him out second. He has a certian amount of


physical tolerance that will wear off as you continue to fight him.
It take awhile.

Wicked Gerango: Take him out first. He has no physical tolerance


and there for easyier to take care of.

----Floor 3

Five down, five to go.


Really this last floor you'll have have to wonder around a bit
to find everyone.But ultimatly you need to head to the West and
north most side of the dungeon.

Really it doesn't matter, the Pkers are located in such a way


that you'll fight them no matter what. You really don't need
to go looking for them.

--Pker's Group #4--

Immortal Goriki: Scythe is the best idea here.

--Pker's Group #5--

These guys are your final challenge and they are really
not that hard. Just use your scythe and keep using arts
over and over. You'll be just fine.

When it's over with, you'll warp back to town.

Right then. You know it suprises me how Haseo can always tell when
he's about to get an e-mail. =P

At any rate, I suggest putting the main story on hold for just alittle
bit. Normally I'd be telling you to run off and advance the story as
fast as possible. I mean I know you're probably itching to see what's
about to happen and all. But before you do I need to mention something.

I know you must be feeling pround of yourself being all like level 120
and all but to be completly honest you are not strong enough. Not yet.
See there is an upcomming boss battle. And although it's all exciting
and stuff. I garantee you won't be albe to beat it at level 120. I
know because I tried and It's just not possible. However if you
gain just a few more levels this boss battle goes form unbeatable
to completely do-able. So, you need to get yourself to level 125.

So, unfortunitly, it's time to train.

good area to train at. I managed to just barly get level 123.

Remember that at level 122 you can use a better set of Twin swords.

-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Note: Around this time in the game you'll probably start


comming across key items called "Cheat Codes". You get them
from Area Hacking normal Areas. They are very usfull as they
will allow you to Alchemize weapons, armor ,and accessories that
are rarity lvl 5. In other words you can upgrade equipment that
normally would not be allowed to be upgraded. However, you can't
use this ability just yet. Soon, but not yet. Just try and collect
as many 'Cheat Codes" as you can.

Also, there is one more quest at the Quest Shop for the game.
It's another Gold Goblins related quest.
And the only reason I mention it is because of the reward for completeing
the quest and/or the Bike Missions. If you finish the quest you will be
awarded with an Accessory that will render you invisable to monsters while
in the fields or dungeons. This is very usfull for advoiding fights you
simply dont want to deal with. But more importantly, with out this item,
the Hidden Quest for vol 3 becomes almost impossible to beat.

So, reguardless of weither you chose to do this now, or later, is up to


you. But for advantage sake I'm going to cover the Bike missions and
this last quest right now. After all the bike missions would be kinda
useless after you do this final goblin quest (which is an actual race
against all 5 gold goblins)

------Note: Remember, you don't HAVE to do this now. But it


will certianly be to your advantage.

For the walkthrough on the 'Bike Trials' #1-5, see my guide for vol 2.
In order to do the bike trails simply go to the chaos gate, make sure
the first Key word is "Passing". Use the other two slots to adjust
which Bike mission the field is set up for. You can tell which trial
you're doing by looking at the Field Mission.

--------------------------
----------------------Bike Missions----------------------------
--------------------------
(Optional)

I highly suggest doing Bike Trials 1-5 before attempting to do


6-10. The reason being is that you will recive some of the rare
bike parts (not all becuase there are a few that can only be gained
by getting them from vol 2)

If you find yourself unable to get those bike parts. I suggest going
to the Breg Epona Bike store and buying the best bike parts you can afford.
Now, once ready, lets get going. I'll be writing the guide assuming you
got the bike parts from Vol 2 and Bike missions 1-5.

Note: In order to actually start the bike missions, you must first
visit the Campign NPC in Dol Dona. He's a duck looking NPC (Kafu) that
is right across from the warp point near the town's @Home.
Once you've talked to him you may begin the Bike Trials.

Also, notice that I can only give you general advice on how
to beat these races. When it comes down to it, you have to do it
yourself. Just remember that if you continue to do these trials
over and over and over. Eventually you WILL get good enough to
beat them. Just keep at it.

------------------------
Bike Trial #6
------------------------
Example: (Passing,Warth's, Benadonna)

Note:Do not get a field that is cloudy,


foggy, or dark. You ALWAYS want areas that are
day time.

Engine: Kirisame Engine


Armor: Kurogane Armor
Muffler: Tidal Muffler
Tires: Night Tires

Ok, then.

1) Begin with a boost start. You can do this by holding down


the Square and X button at the same time. This will change the
boost.(signaled by white steam comming out of muffler)
When the counter says GO! release the Square button (brake)
and you will launch forward.
2) swerve to the left to hit the first row of chims. Keep
hitting the R1 button when doing this to activate the Nitro
as soon as possible.

3) After the second group of chims prepare to do a 180 degree


turn around the curve. (it's a sharp one)

4)Collect the next row of chim and boost into the turn. Clip
the edge of the King (Check point) and head for the bridge)

5) hit the chims on the bridge and turn a hard right.

6) Follow the arrow to the last King.


Look for chims along the way.

For 1st place you will get the: Kogane Armor.


Not very useful, but it's a start.
---------------------------------------

Now that you've gotton 1st place, I want you to go to


Kafu and view your record with him, this should render
rewards: some useful, some not.

------------------------
Bike Trial #7
------------------------
Example: (Passing,Warth's, Fast Horse)

Engine: 210 Engine


Armor: Kurogane Armor
Muffler: Type 800 muffler
Tires: Night Tires

This is a hard corse just because there is so little


room for mistakes. However with the 210 engine that provides
the best Max Speed. You might just make it.

1)Boost start as soon as it says go.

2)Keep pressing R1 so you will boost as soon as guage


is full.

3) Drive straight ahead, as you approch the first King


wait until you are almost there then jerk the joy stick down.
This will cause you to perform a sliding U-turn. If you time
it right you will swipe through the king at the furthest point
in the sliding turn. In other words you will slide into the king
as you perform the U-turn rather then after you've already passed
through it.

4) Stear to the left as soon as you complete the u-turn and head to
the King on your left. Do the same U-turn move to clip the King.

5) Boost toward the last King with as much speed as you


can beat out of your bike. If you have the above, you should be able
to beat this mission.

Reward: Big Wave Muffler. Useful for offsetting the 210 engine's
lack of acceleration.
---------------------------------------

Two down Three to go.

------------------------
Bike Trial #8
------------------------
Example: (Passing,Wrath's Hand Song)

Engine: 210 Engine


Armor: Kurogane Armor
Muffler: Big Wave muffler
Tires: Night Tires

This course isnt as hard as you might think. Really the biggest
thing is to run through it once or twice to get the feel for things.
Then trying it again at full speed. The trick here is to cut corners
through the s-curves at hte begining and the end.

1) Boost start. Get the first batch of chim while turning right.
2)Cut the first corner and head for the first King
3) As you get the first king, prepare for a 90 degree turn to the
left.
4) Turn left again at the bridge.
5) Go up the hill clip the king and then down the hill on the
next path down.
6) across the bridge and then an 90 degree turn to the left.
7)Right after the bridge will be the biggest chance to gain time on
the clock by cutting the corner in a slant through the s-curves.
8)Boost toward the last king.

Reward: Rain Tires. One of the Best Tires.


---------------------------------------

------------------------
Bike Trial #9
------------------------
Example: (Passing,Warth's, Two Wings)

Engine: 210 Engine


Armor: Kurogane Armor
Muffler: Big Wave muffler
Tires: Rain Tires

1)Start boost. Get the first row of chims. Cut the first
corner. No not use the bridge, it's not worth it. Go around the
'long way' (which actualy is faster) Hit the first king.
2) Round the next corner (do not cut it took close) and hit
the next kind.

3) then just drive right at the last king.

Reward:Ayanami Muffler.
---------------------------------------

Ok, first off I highly suggest you empty your inventory


of all unessacary items, because the reward items you get from this
mission are AMAZING! Like not even joking at all, the weapon/armor/
accessory materials are some of the rarest in the whole game and
you will want to be able to keep as many as you can!

------------------------
Bike Trial #10
------------------------
Example: (Passing,Black, Arrows)

Engine: 210 Engine


Armor: Kurogane Armor
Muffler: Big Wave muffler
Tires: Rain Tires

This track is very easy compared to the others.

1)Boost start, Grab first row of chims. Boost with


Nitro.

2) turn lighlty left to aim at first King.

3) steer throguh s-curves.

4) just before the 2nd Kind is a 180 degree turn. Follow


the line of chim around the curve and don't try to cut it
close or else you'll miss the King.

5) Grab a row of chims to fill guage and boost. Take


the most direct path right to the last king.

Good luck.

Reward: Akagane Armor (best bike armor of the game)


---------------------------------------

Save!!

Ok, the only thing left to do is go to Kafu and see if you've


completed 50 Runs and Collect 3000 Chims. You'll get loads of great
items for completeing the Campign.

--I Highly suggest that any Items that will raise you Skill Level,
that you save them for later.

Now that you have all those sweet bike parts and your
ride is now pimped out. It's time to give the Gold Goblins
a good run for their money.

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------


----- 2)Last Salute of the Gold Goblins

---------------------------------------
------- 20)Undetered, Legerity's, Goblin(Q) -------
--------------------------------------
Area Type: Highland Canyon
Area Level: 101
Party: Haseo, (none), (None)
My Level: 125

Ok, this quest is a five lap race against the Golden Goblins.
Each Goblin will run one lap.

This is actually really easy. Just follow the course counter clock wise.
the bridge act's like your check point. You will get extra boost stock for
every lap you complete.

With your awesome pimped out bike, this will be a peice of cake.
Good luck.

Just make sure to keep to the inside of the turns and to get the
group of chims on every lap, you should be fine.

When done you will get an AWESOME accessory.


------------------- ------------------- -------------------
------------------- -------------------

------------!!!!!!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!!!!!------------

DO NOT! I repeat, DO NOT under any circumstances get rid of the Demon
Safe shoes. This accessory is customized with a certian material that is
very very very very RARE! Infact it is only one of two opertunities to get
it. And you MUST have one of the two in order to have any resonable chance of
beating the Hidden Quest for Vol. 3

AKA--> KEEP THIS ITEM!!!!!

-------------------------------------------------

Ok, now that that is all taken care of and out of the way. It's time to move
on with the story line.

Finially, Log-out.
----------------------------------
-E-mail- Pi : To GU Members
Short version: She got some news for everyone.
Time to head to Raven to see what's up.
----------------------------------

Log-in.

As you begin to log-in you'll see some scenes with Ovan.


Watch first then continue.

--------------------------------
Movie- Tragic Scream
Short Version/Main points: You see one of Ovan's
memories. You witness Ovan being infected with AIDA.
And of course Ovan goes nuts and can't control himself
and he turns his powers on Aina.
--------------------------------

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Transfer over to the other server.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Head to Raven.

As you enter there'll be a big string of scenes. Watch them all


the continue.

Yata and Pi go over the prediction that Fidhell made. The come
to the conclusion that is it likly to refer to Ovan and that
he is the key to everything that has been happening. Haseo says
that Ovan is the one behind AIDA, but of couse how can that be
true if Ovan sees the AIDA in his left arm as an enemy that hurt
Aina?

So you see it's all a rather large mess and Yata points out that it
won't make any differnce to keep going. Haseo suggest they go after
ovan. And lo: Ovan appears on the Serpent of Lore's display screne
and he talks to everyone present. He suggest that because there's lots
to talk about, they all get together for a chat. Rather nice of him
isn't it? I wonder if that chat includes Haseo trying to kill Ovan again?

Anyway, watch the rest of the stuff and then lets head out. We have the
biggest Story Event since the end of Vol 2 comming up.

Head to the Chaos Gate and transfer over to the Sigma server.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------
Add Atoli and Kuhn to your party.

Make sure to restock Atoli's supply of healing itmes, Make sure


you have all the updated armor and other equipment. When it's
all said and done: its just time to get on with things.

It's time to find out the answer to the biggest question


of the entire series: Why is Ovan doing all of this?

--------------------------------
------- 21)Immersed, Crime's, Paraphrase -------
--------------------------------
Area Type: Forest Dungeon
Area Level: 119
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 125
1st Block: Equipe the Demon Safe Shoes, use fairy orb, and
cast Ap Do on all party members. You're only objective here
is to move as quickly as you can through this dungeon and get
to the Outer Dungeon.

2nd block: This one has some warp points involed but it's
not a full blow Maze. Just follow the path and use the warp
point at the end of each segment of path. Just watch out:
near the end of the block you'll run into two warp points side
by side, use the one more to the south. Not too hard.

3rd block:

First off head more or less straight ahead toward the Beast Statue.
claim the prize there. Then head to the North East corner of the map.
There use Gate Hacking to reach the outer dungeon.

---------------
----Outer Dungeon---
---------------

Fairy ord the map to discover that the place is a monsterious


mess of warp points. Peachy. Well here's a map on how to conqure
this maze:

---------------------------------------

[4,5,6] [ ] [ ]

[ ] [Fin] [1,2}-[Start}

[7] [8] [3]

Take 2 -> 3 (2 is south of 1)


Take 3 -> 4
Take 5 -> 7
(5 is in the South West corner)
Take 7 -> 8
Take 8 -> 'Fin'

------------------------------------------

Once you reach the center platform, I would save.


Switch your accessory from the Demon Safe Shoes to
your normal lvl 120 Accessory.

The upcomming boss is NOT easy. Then, when you're


ready, Area Hack by pressing R1. Then chose to warp.

You'll watch alot of scenes before anything happens in


terms of fighting. When the next boss battle is about to
start, I'll give you adive on how to beat him. Watch scenes then
continue.

Ovan starts talking to Haseo about some stuff. Like that


the white room they are in is part of the Black Box folder from
the previous version of the game. Also that things will never be
the way they once were, but rather there is no need for that.
About that time Haseo butts in and says he wants a straight answer:
if Ovan knows how to bring back the Lost Ones. Ovan says that if
Haseo can deafeat Ovan, there is a one in a million chance that
Shino will return.

I'll explain this later. For now you have to worry about the fact that
Ovan will refuse to give you the truth unless you take it from him in
a battle. So let's do just that......

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Ovan
My Level: 125

-Enemy Attacks:

Toss up- Ovan will slash, spin, then blast you into the air. Not
fun and the only real way to deal with this attack is to run away.

Tri-Edge attack- Ovan will uses his AIDA arm and regualer arms to
with a three blade attack just like he would make a tri-edge sign.
Lots of damage. Not good, no way to avoid it.

Cannon Blast- Ovan will change a shot and unlease a Death Star style
blast that will do alot of damage.
Jump Smash- Ovan will leap into the air and when he hits the ground will
send out shock waves. Just run away from him as he crouchs to jump.

-Stragedy: Use twin swords to knock his health down fast. Then use Scythe
once he begins to summon black orbs. Switch between the two weapons as needed.
Use Avatar Awakening as much as possible and ,if it works out right, to finsh
him off.

- Other Advice: at level 120 this fight it pratically impossible. At lvl 125
it's very do-able.
-----------------------------------

A scene takes place half way through the action. Ovan is begging
Haseo to destory him. Now more then ever. Destory him with a fully
developed Avatar. One who has fought and consumed all the other
Avatars. Haseo, alone, who has fought Atoli, Kuhn, Yata, Sakubo,Endrance, Pi
,and Ovan.

And now, like last time, Ovan summons his Avatar.


Only this time, it's bigger and badder.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Corbenik <2nd>
My Level: 125

---Enemy Attacks:

Normal shot- He'll fire Energy balls out of his AIDA arm. you can
avoid these by simply moving to the right. No need to dash. You
can if you want, but not nessacary.

Variant Summon- He summons little AIDA to attack you. Dash in


fast and kill them qucikly with one hit. Or use shots to blast them
to peices.

Celestial Wrath- Ovan unleases a massive amount of shots into the air.
These will rain down around you. You can avoid this by dashing very
quickly to the right. Don't stop dashing till the shots stop comming
down around you.

Mental Vampirism- He will fire a low power version of data drain at you.
you can defeclt this back at him by using a combo on the engery ball.
This is the only way to stun him in the second half of the battle.

Data Drain- Ovan will plaster you on the end of his giant arm cannon
and then fire Data Drain at you at point blank range. You can defeat this
attack by the normal button smashing.

---Stragedy:

-1st part of battle-


It is possible to stun him while he attemps Variant summon. However
stunning him at all is very very hard.

-2nd part of battle-


This is marked by Ovan casting a shild barier around himself making
it impossible to stun him with shots or even land slashs on him.
You will have to find a new way to break his shield and stun him.

To do this wait until he uses Mental Vampirism (Low Power Data Drain)
on you. You can deflect this back at him by using a full combo on the
ball of energy as it gets near you.

-3rd part of battle-

Protect break: this is tricky. You have to Data Drain Ovan twice in a row.
Once to break his shield, then again to finish him off.

Problem: if you don't Data Drain him fast enough the second time, he will
recharge his shield, and as always you only have about a minute to Data
Drain him twice in a row. I suggest moving constanly (not dashing) to the
right while charging Data Drain. Only stop moving to the right long enough
to Fire Data Drain in a straight shot. You should have less of a problem
doing it this way. Good luck.

-----------------------------------

After the fight will be the longest set of scenes since the opening movies of
Vol 1. Kick back relax and enjoy the show. PS: Haseo is about to become
more awesome then he is already. Wait till all the scenes are over before
continuing on.

Ovan finially has got what he wanted. Yata is about to come to a solid
concusion when Ovan forces them to be warped out of the Area leaving only
Haseo, Ovan, and Aina.

--------------------------------
Movie- Rebirth
Short Version/Main points: The truth is finially revealed.
Ovan has done everything this far, to save his sister. When AIDA
attacked him he went berserk and infected his sister with AIDA.
(He didn't Data Drain his sister, unlike Shino)
As for the rest of it, I'm sure you can see that plain enough.
--------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- Netslum
Short Version/Main points:
Although Haseo wasn't at Ground Zero for the release of the
'Rebirth', he diffently caught a huge blast of that energy.
Being that his character and real person are connected by Mental
bonds, he's very lucky to be alive. (kinda like the Matrix: "the body
can not live with out the mind") Same concept.

Well anyway, I'd say it's time that some things started making sense.
Obviously Net slum is still around, only this time it is mobile on the
back of a giant flying turtle rather that being stuck in one place.
Not a bad imporevment if you ask me.
--------------------------------

Anyway, everything goes dark and the next thing Haseo knows
he is talking with Zelkova. Then he remembers everything that's
happened to himself.
And then, he is reunited with his Epitaph.

You know, I think that Haseo would have looked awesome sweet with
Black hair and White armor instead of Black armor and Gray hair.
But hey, thats just me.

--------------------------------
Movie- Xth form
Short Version/Main points:

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!

HASEO IS AMAZING!!!!!

.......nothing else need be said.


--------------------------------

Right now just watch the scenes. Come back when you get turned lose
in the new town.

---------------------------
Haseo has now recived his final form: the X-th Form.
You can now use the Duel Gun weapon type. The guns specialize
in long range attacks.

-X button: fires guns is a semi automatice patteren.


- Hold X: to perform an area attack.
-Press O: to reload (will reload automaticly after bullets are spent)
-Double tap O: to dash quickly

Duel Guns are very rare and there are only 4 sets of guns in the game.
The closer you get to a target the more powerfull the attacks become.

The X-th form allows you to use the Double trigger, this allows you
to perform a second Art 'Judgemnt' to allow you to switch back to
Duel guns after performing an Art with another weapon type.

------
Note: For future refernce I'm going to add this in right here so I won't get
more e-mails asking this. Know that if you follow this guide the whole way
through I will walk you through getting all these weapons. But just Incase
you were wondering here's how you get the other three sets of guns:

Note:First understand that all Dual guns carry a weapon materal that allows
you
to perform the double trigger skill.

There are four sets of dual guns in Vol 3:


1) DG-X: You get one set from a story line event when Haseo recivies the X-th
form job extension. These guns have a physical attack of +20 per-shot They
don't however have a second material for customization. And like all the guns
can't be custiomized excpt through Cheat Alchemy which only increases the
number of bullets the gun can carry and gives the alchemy bonus of
x1.25 damage (at most).

2) DG-O: You get these guns for defeating the doppleganger once Haseo has
recieved the X-th form. They are the 3rd most pratical dual guns. Aside from
having the dual trigger skill, they are customized with a material that will
increase the damage done to enemies as Haseo's HP is lowered. However, if
you're a defesive player you won't want to use these much. Also, to
compensate
for having this ability these guns only have +18 Physical attack. Meaning
they're weaker then then the DG-X. Using these guns are a risk and personally
it's not my style.

3) DG-Y: You can get these guns in the Forest of Pain on the 51th floor.
Complete objective #6 by defeating 6 parties of monsters. These guns are
customised with the Godspeed Bullet which allows you to recharges your skill
trigger faster. However, these guns only have a physical attack of +10 making
them not very pratical for the Forest of Pain being that many of the stonger
bosses have very high defense.

4) DG-Z: Can be obtained by beating the final boss in the Forest of Pain.
These guns are by far the most Powerful and the least usefull. (After you
beat the Forest of Pain it's unlikly you'll have anything major in the game
to even use them for.) Reguardless, they have a physical attack of +25, and
are customized by a material giving the guns an ability called Death's
bullet; it reduces the enemie's HP by 95%.
--------------------------

Ok, First off there are two major complaints about the X-th form I
want to voice.
1) There are only four sets of duel guns and only
two of the four sets are even worth using: the set you have now, and the
set you get for completeing the hidden quest (which is kinda pointless
considering you could have used them the most DURING the hidden quest
not AFTER.)
2) other complaint is Haseo looks like he has a really fat @$$. Reason being
that the circle armor plates on his lower back give him the appearence of
having girl hips aka RETARDED!

But, if you can over look these faults then you should enjoy
the X-th form very much as it will make Haseo complete ownage.

--------------------------
--------------------- Preludes of Battle ------------------
--------------------------

This section of the game will be intresting to say the least. In


all reality: it will be the calm before the storm; or better yet the
eye of the hurrican.
Enjoy the peace while you can; it wont last.

----------------------------
-------Town: Netslum Tartarga -------
----------------------------
First thing to do is back track to the Chaos Gate and Save.
Also, there's some quick stuff you need to adjust with
you character and what not.

Open the menu: Go to skill trigger and set Justice to your


X-button on the skill trigger. You now have one Art for
all four types of weapons:

X-Justice (duel guns)


O- Reaper's Dance (Scythe)
Square- Armor Break (Broad Sword)
Tri-Angel- Ghost Falcon (Twin Swords)

Also, you'll find some of the items at the new


stores very useful. There are only two stores here
but both are at least some what useful. At the
Weapons Shop you can find any of my suggested
weapon upgrades that you might have missed:
--------------------------------------------------

Twin Swords- lvl 122 Spin Goria (All Damage +25%)<-From Bike mission 10
Broad Sword- lvl 117 Broad Dowan (Strategic Attack) <-Tartarga weapon store.
Scythe- lvl 75 Ticking Death [upgrd lvl 3]

Armor- lvl 124 Rough Diamond (-10%mg dam. and -25% phy. dam.)

Accessory- lvl 120 Simple Slant Hood


(Zem Master= all sp cost -25%) <-bike mission 10
---------------------------------------------------

--Also at the Item store near the Choas Gate: the


stock of items they have here is very impressive.
However you simply don't need all of them, just a few.
Here's what I suggest you buy:

Menami Muffler- for your bike, last bike part for the game.
Crystal Skull - this is an excelent weapon material, one of the best.

Healing Potion x40


Restoring Drop x25
Fairy Drop x40
Nobel Drop x25
Omnipotent Soda x25
Revival Medical x25
Revive Potion x25
Warrior Tome x25

---------------------

Then head to the bridge to continue with the story.


As you enter you'll see some scenes with all the Avatar users,
Zelkova, and Kaede.

Also, note that about half way through the scenes


a glitch will occur. The Text subtitles wont match what the people are
saying. Just ignore it. It's one of the only glitchs I found
in the game, and is definitally the first major one for the whole game
series. Anyway watch away until things settle down then I can finially
explain who or what Zelkova is. And all the other stuff.

----
Ok, first thing. The X-th form is an illegal form design by Zelkova.
The powers it holds are the result of Zelkova altering the connection
between Haseo's character and the Epitaph/Avatar.

Secondly, Zelkova is in fact the now present day ruler of the Net slum.
There are two possible reasons for this:
1- There is a slim possibilty that Zelkova is infact Helba from the original
game series. She simply made a new character and is now going about
her days disguised as the Moon Tree Guild master Zelkova,
Howerver this seems very unlikly being that Zelkova's personality and Hebla's
personality are worlds apart and are nothing alike.

Other explaination:
2- Zelkova is in fact a hacker
(or more likly still is that he is a very smart AI that has hacking skills).
It is likly that Helba met Zelkova some time ago and when she grew tired of
the game gave him the rule over Netslum before she retired from the Game
and her days as a Hacker. It may even be that she chose to quit
the game around the time that the first version of the game was
destoryed and 'The World R2'was released.

Ok, next point: Haseo points out that Ovan was willing to sacrafice himself
in order to save his comatose sister. And by the way, If Haseo was standing
near Ovan when the Rebirth went off, just think about what condition Ovan is
in being that he was at Ground Zero for it. Yeah, I think he'll be very lucky
just to be alive.

Anyway, Yata starts talking to the ship: Tartarga. Vetrans of the series may
be wondering where that name rings a bell. The answer is that Tartarga is the
rather smart AI that Kite and BlackRose had a coverstation with when the
first
visited Net Slum in the original games. You know, the little green dude they
talked to about the Epitaph of Twilight? Yeah, him.
Also, Zelkova and Kaede give you their Member Adresses. SWEET!
Zelkova is by far the strongest party member you can get in the
entire game series. Which is complete ownage.

Near the end of things Haseo talks about how the Rebirth affected
everything in the world that was connected to the network. But
none-the-less. It seems the Game has become peaceful again.
AIDA has been destoryed once and for all, and the Coma victums
that were made Comatose by AIDA are slowly returning....everyone
but Shino.

--------------------------------

Yes, Cubia is back. We're talking about the monster that will send someone
flying across a battle field just by sneezing on them. It will have
to be faced and destroyed, just like it had to be destroyed
in the last series.
For now head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

As a side note:
Yata was there. He is Wiseman from the original series. He fought side by
side
with Kite and the other .hackers//.

Yes, the final peices are starting to fall in place. Soon, very soon. The
climax will come.

But until it does, lets do some training shall we?

First add Atoli and Kuhn to your party. Then Head to


Dol Dona.

----------------------------

You need to upgrade the Lost Weapons somemore.

----------------------------

I want you to upgrade Atoli's staff to lvl 3 upgrade. I


really doubt you have enough Virus cores to upgrade Kuhn's
weapon to level 3 upgrd too, but he will certianly be the
next person on the list to do so for.

When done head back.

----------------------------
-------Town: Dol Dona -------
----------------------------

Trasfer to Breg Epona.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

First things first. Go to your @home and put your new


muffler on your bike.

Time to train. Adjust the Materials in your party's


Accessorys to get the +50% EXP From the Sapphire Eyes.

Then lets get going. Your new goal is to reach level 130.

Also, all those Begginer's Text/Books and the the Master Book
and Master Text, yeah, use those now on Haseo.

--------------------------------
--Random) Unselfish, Wrath's, Alga Grass-------

Area Type: Field

My Level: 125

Kill all, take items, the basic stuff you know how to
do oh so good by now. One major difference. You now have the
X-th Form to make things go faster. And this will be a great
proving grounds for the Xth Form.

(Don't fight any of the white large monsters called 'Royal Pain'
until you gain at least one level)
--Xth Form useage--

Now, the biggest thing about the Xth Form,


is it's skill set up.

Whenever you are in a normal fight, you'll


want you use the Dual Guns 99% of the time. Why? Because the
dual guns allow you to move side to side while firing, allowing
you to avoid enemies easily. Also because they have the highest
rate of inflicting damage (faster then Twin swords) So you use
Duel guns for normal attacks in most situations.

When you go to use Arts, ussally enemies are weak to one of the
types of weapons Haseo has: Twin Sword, Broad Sword, and Scythe.
So you use the skill trigger to switch to the one that the enemy
is weak to which dishs out the most damage.

Then, by using the Double Trigger you can switch back


to the Duel guns which are the best weapon type for just normal
fighting.

Basicly you'll use the Duel Guns the most and just use the other
weapon types for dishing out Arts. Granted it makes using all your
other weapons kinda pointless, but this is the most effective
way of using them.

It'll take awhile to get used to the guns but eventually you'll
realize how awesome they are and you'll never want to go back.

-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

I was able to get to 127. Three more levels to go. So restock


and head for a new area.

----
Before you head out again there are a few chors to take care of.
And doing this stuff will be a big help later on.

I want you to remove Kuhn from your party and replace him with
Yata. Now, I want you to give Yata the following items:

-25% magic damage (buy from Lumia Cloth item store)


-10% physical Damage (If you dont have in storage then never mind)
-10% all Sp consumption aka All knowing (Breg Epona stores)

Also, go to Hidden, Forbidden, Sacrament and up grade Yata's


fans at least once with 10 virus cores
---

Well time to move on, put Kuhn back in your party and head
out to a new field.

Just continue to get use to the Xth Form. Try to gain as many lvls
as you can.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

It's completly likly that you'll have to go out at least


once more to get to level 130. Do so if you need to now.

lvl 130.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Ok, you can finially relax. First off, know that you will only
have to train one more time between now and the end of the game.
So that should be a relief. Also, Don't purposly go out
and train to raise your level. The reason for that is because I
have something planned that I think you'll like. So don't train until
I tell you. (and don't worry, I've given you a couple levels lee-way
so don't fill bad if you gain like one more level by accident)

You can now finially log-out.


When you get to your desktop you'll have loads to watch and read.
For now lets ignore the e-mails and go for the News and Forums.
We'll start with least intresting to most intresting.

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version:

Ok, first some ppl talking about the problems


at Nucluar power plants near to where they live. And how things
are getting pretty bad in the 'real world'. One guy is even
at a shelter.

The other topic is some ppl ranting about how angry they are that
this guy Masato Indou AKA Ovan, is resonsible for making AIDA. Which
of course is absolute Bull $hit because CC Corp holds alot of political
power and is pinning everything on him. But of course the ppl complaining
about all that don't know any better.
----------------------------------

Ok, now to get a better idea of what everyone was talking about.

----------------------------------
-News- :
Short version:

First and Formost is the thing about where they think they
know who is responsible for AIDA. Which of course is Bull.

Second thing worth watching is the new Online Jack episode.

And third, various differnt articals: Nuc. power plants going crazy,
trains crashing, Air planes crashing, and the space station falling
into the planet. Freaking crazyness.
----------------------------------
Well, lets take a look at the e-mails and see whats up.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Aina : To Haseo
Short version: She'd like you to meet her.
----------------------------------

Well, sounds like a plan. But first the other e-mails.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Yata : Cubia
Short version: CC Corp is getting jumpy becuase
Cubia is back. And like Yata said, things are going to be
really bad once Cubia becomes active.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Sakubo (Saku) : RE: What a flower means
Short version: She says she might stick around. Geeze, and you
think your life is hard. Just imagine what Bo has to put up with.
----------------------------------

Ok, log-in and time to get on with the story line.

----------------------------
------- 23)Incensed, World's, Build-up -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Forest Dungeon
Area Level: 122
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 130

As you warp in, take note that there's really no need


what so ever for you to fight monsters. I just equiped
the Demon Safe Shoes and ran straight through the dungeon.

Block 1: uneventful.

Block 2: There's some warp point here. Continue forward to the first useable
warp point you can find, Then use it to move forward. After you warp to
the next area simply rotate the camera to face a new warp point. Use that
to move on toward the exit of the Block.

Block 3: This is pretty straight forward. Just keep moving until you get to
the
Beast statue and the end of the Area.

Watch first then read on.

So you meet Aina and she explains that she knows who you are because
she's shared Ovan's memories through AIDA. After which she asked you why
you didn't save Ovan. She explains that he's comatose and that he on the
edge of life and death. And then she runs off all upset.

Next thing you know the ground shakes and you get a short mail from Yata.
He says to make an emergence meeting at Raven.
Head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

BEFORE you run off to Raven. I HIGHLY suggest you go to


any of the Item shops in the various towns and stock up
on items that you might be low on. Becuase soon (not now but soon)
you won't get the chance to go back to them for
a good long while. MAKE SURE Atoli also has her items stocked up.

Once that's done, then head for Raven.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

When you get there Pi will explain the situation. The Bo comes
busting in begging Haseo to help him save Aina. Well we can't have
all the work Ovan did go to waste. Time to kick some butt.

Add Bo to your party and lets head out.

Transfer over to the other town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Once you got everyone together, head out.

----------------------------
------ 24) Fleeing, Dismayed, Emotion -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Highland Canyon
Area Level: 124
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Bo
My Level: 130

This area is prety simplr. Get on your bike and ride from
the East side of the area to the west. Activate the warp point
and then use it.

Again head from the east side of the area to the west. You can
collect the symbole fragments if you want but it's not really
nesscary.

On the west side of the area you should find Aina and her attackers.
After you beat them easily, you see some scenes about the story. After that
head back to town.

----------------------------
-------Town: Breg Epona -------
----------------------------

Head back to Mac Anu.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Back yet again to the Serpent of Lore.

When you arrive You see some scenes. I won't bother to


explain a huge amount about whats going on other then say
this: Aura was the reason the creator of the game made the
game in the first place. She is the reason what Epitaphs exist.
She is the reason why everything started to begin with in the
original games.

Anyway. Add Atoli and Yata to your party and head for the Chaos
Gate. It's time to visit some ppls.

WARNING!!!!: Be ready for one of the hardest non-avatar boss fights of


the WHOLE SERIES!!

----------------------------
------- 25) Hidden, Forbidden, HolyGround -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Lost Ground/ Landscape
Area Level: None
Party: Haseo,Yata, Atoli
My Level: 130

When you enter the area make your last preperations and then
enter.

Aina begins to explain that her brother gave her the Creator's
Epitaph of Twilight. When she brings it out things start to happpen.

Watch on and come back right before the boss fight. I'll explain things
and give you advice.
As Yata and Haseo talk it become clear that the Book is resonating with
Haseo's Avatar. Yata says that if all eight Epitaphs were gathered that
they would be able to speak with Aura. Haseo points out that Ovan is gone.
Again Yata reminds Haseo of some of Ovan's last words and shows Haseo that
he contians all 8 Epitaphs with him; that Haseo is the Key of the Twilight.
Haseo was what Ovan had been searching for all along.

--------------------------------
Movie- Key of the Twlight
Short Version/Main points: Haseo summons his fully developed Avatar,
and with the aid of his X-th form, Sheith has evolved into his third
and final form. You dont get to use him yet, that comes later.

Anyway, Haseo unites his epitaph with Aina. And the end result?
----------------------------------

YIKES!! the Azure Knights!!!!! Tri-Edge and his buddies....You


know what this means?

SHOW DOWN!!!!

Haseo, Terro of Death VS The Azure Knights

ROUND ONE,FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Azure Knights
My Level: 130

-Enemy Attacks:

-Basic Attack: Orca and Bulmung will attack with regulare


Blade combo and also normal Blade Arts. Tri-Edge will basicly
Stay in one spot and attack you from a distance or when you
Approch him.

-Light Spells- The three Azures line up and cast huge amounts
of light spells at you, these are VERY powerfull. Make sure
to block.
-Azure Three Combo- All three of the Azures attack at once and
will basicly pumble one character into the ground (this be Haseo)
This attack isn't that bad if you have Armor materials that negate
damage less then 50, or if your level 130. All around, not too bad.

-Stragedy:

Ok, you're best stragedy in this situation is to


consentrate only on Tri-Edge. If you kill either of
the other two, Tri-Edge simply will revive them after
a little while. So really your only hope of winning
is to kill Tri-Edge.

a)Use your Dual Guns and Attack Tri-Edge


from behind. This will ussally allow you to avoid his magic
as he will likly consentrate on those infront of him.

b)Use Arts ALOT! Keep an eye on Atoli's SP as this battle tends


to drain it quickly.

c) Use awakening as soon as you can. At level 130 this battle isn't
that hard.

- Other Advice:

If you're level is 125 or lower--> Pray and hope you're skilled enough to win.
-----------------------------------

When you finially beat them you hear Aura's voice and Yata realizes
that the Azure Knights are infact guardians of the game, and that they
were created By Aura to protect her. She just didn't get to finish them
and also because she was working with damaged data from the previous version
of the game.

So anyway.

Aura talks to you about some important stuff and then Tri-Edge gives you
his Twin Swords. SWEET!

Well, Yata continues to mumble to himself about various things concerning


the problems at hand. Really if you read between the lines all you need to
know is that if the Avatar Users go head to head with Cubia, there's a
chance to defeat Cubia, but it will mean the end of the Epitaphs.

One problem, in order to even cancel out the power of Cubia, they need all
eight Epitaphs. That means Ovan too.

---->So, at this point in time: Battle with Cubia = Suicide.

So anyway, after the scenes you'll be back at Mac Anu.


----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Yata says that many players are leaving the game. But that
at the rate that Cubia is taking over, the towns will be destroyed
soon.

--Note: This is your LAST chance to shop in ANY of the normal towns.
After this point in time there is NO going back until the after the
end of the game. The biggest things you need to worry about is getting
healing items from the various shops in the different towns. Here's a
shoping/ to do list.

Before you do anything or go anywhere, do yourself a favor, equipe


the new twin swords you got from Tri-edge. They are in fact the
best twin swords in the whole game. So, thats 1/4 ultimate weapons
down.

--Breg Epona
a) Check in at the guild @home
b) Buy and store 50 Lucid Soda
and Wonder Soda in the guild storage.
c) Check in with Gaspard at the guild
shop.

--Dol Dona
a) Buy and store 50 Solution soda and Esthesio.

--Mac Anu
a) Buy and store 50 Anitdote soda,Blessing soda,
and Stimulant soda.

Once you've stored 50 of each item, I want you to go and buy another
40 of each of those so that you have 50 in storage and 40 in your inventory
of the obove mentioned items.

You won't need to stock up on any other items because the only other type of
items you need are HP and SP recovery items. And you won't need to worry
about
that. Trust me. Aside from my advice here, just use your best judgement. When
you're done, head to the Serpent of Lore in Mac Anu.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Head to the Serpent of Lore. Here you will see some major scenes where Yata
and the others are forced to say farwell to GU's home. Everyone has become
refugees in the other regions, the NetSlum.

----------------------------
-------Town: Netslum Tartarga -------
----------------------------

When you enter the town, cut scenes will begin. Watch and enjoy.

When done there's some things to adress.

1) Obviously you cant go back to any of the towns, so thats tough luck
if you missed anything.
2) Tartarga choas gate is a multi-server gate, meaning you can visit areas
from
all the servers.
3) All quest are unavalible from here on out, but if you folowed my guide
that
won't be a problem.

For now head for the bridge. That will render progression in the story.
As you approch the bridge note Wise Grunty on the right. If you ever
manage to upgrade all the lost weapons; Wise Grunty will trade you
items and cash for your extra virus cores you collect. But that doesn't
seem likly considering it takes so long to collect cores.

--NOTE!!!
The following scenes have a re-occuring glitch in the movie. It won't
affect game play, just the over all feel of the story. The subtitles
for the movie are off. They're the subtitles for the next plot cutscene.
Not this one. Apperentally Namco Bandi didn't catch this glitch.
Feel free to point and laugh at their stupidity.

Anyway, just ignore the subtitles for this cut scene. This is the only major
glitch I found in the entire series.

Back in the main section of town there are some things to cover:

a)Scenes with Saku, she's back and staying for good. *sigh*
b) Canard is now based in Tartarga. You can visit the guild via
the door to the side, and also the Guild shop is set up here aswell.
c) You can now use cheat codes to upgrade lvl 5 rarity equipment.
This includes, armor, weapons, and your duel guns. So area hacking to
collect tons of cheat codes would be a great idea.
d) when you're done looking around and getting stuff, log out.
Ok once you log out, check your e-mail first.
Note the order in which I list the e-mails.

You should read them in the following order:

-E-mail- Zelkova : To all who love "The World"
Short version: Is a call to arms. To all the players of
the game to rally together and fight one last time to save
not just the game, but the human race.......wow. Ironic.

-E-mail- Sakubo(bo) : I'm back

-E-mail- CC Corp : Notice of Emergency Maintenance
Short version: CC corp is crapping their pants over whats happening.
hopefully they can keep their legs crossed long enough for Haseo to
pull off something off.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Zelkova : Planning meeting
Short version: He says you need to log in and
meet with the others so you can get on to kicking some
Gomora butt. It's time for the final stage of our journey.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: Some people talking about the E-mail
Zelkova sent everyone. Then some rumors concerning Tartarga, and the
rumors about ppl quiting 'the world'. Oh well, tim to get on with things.
---------------------------------

When done, log-in.

It's time to enter the final chapeter in our story with Haseo and
his fellow comrads. My friends it's been a long journey, but now
is the time. In the famous words of Kite, "Now is the time, to end this!"
--------------------------
-------------------- War of the Epitaphs --------------------
--------------------------

----------------------------
-------Town: Netslum Tartarga -------
----------------------------
Head for the bridge.

Zelkova says that there are four main areas where infection has reached
dangerous levels. They MUST be taken care of quickly or else the game will
start comming apart at the seams. They're lost grounds you visited before.
All have importance. But they should be attempted in a certian order so that
the story line flows well. I'll walk you through each dungeon (which are
annoyingly like mazes).

Add Atoli and Kuhn to your Party and head for the Choas Gate.
Change servers to the Dol Dona Server. Once done select the
first location. And get ready for war.

As you enter the area, seens will start. You'll see


Piros the 3rd, Gaspard, Silabus, and Antares here. They
will begin to fight and hold back the Gomoras while you
push ahead and the Outer Dungeon. So do just that, head to
the end of the walk way and use area hacking. Continue on through.

Follow this map to find and kill all the Gomoras:

First time I played through the game I saved this one for last thinking
it would be approperate. But there scenes here are the least good of
the four areas, hence I'm saving the best scenes for last and just doing
this one now.

Enter the area, see scenes with Gabi, the Pkers you hate, and some
other people from way back when you started your journey.

Afterward, on to the Outer Dungeon.

This one is easy. It's straight forward.


Just follow the path and kill the Gomoras.

After a short meeting, it's time. Time for the Final
Battle.

Our time grows short friends. But this time there


will not be another game to continue on with. Ah, well.
Let's finish this up.

------Preparing for the Final Battle--------

--Here's a list of things to check first:


--------------------------------------------

1)--Note:On top of having your final party ready to go, you


must also prepare 3 other parties for battle as well.
You will use these three parties for only one battle
each. Then they will be left behind while you continue
forward deeper into the final dungeon.
Here's the party members I suggest:

1st: Gaspard and Silabus

2nd: Sakubo and Endrance

3rd: Pi and Yata

Final Boss party: Atoli and Kuhn

You don't really need to prepare them


in any special way. You just need to know
it's comming. The best thing you could do is
buy healing items and give them to Gaspard,
Sakubo, and Pi. (your healers) And then Set their
stragedy to "Life".

2)--The next thing is that you need to restock your


items for the final battle. This means get as many healing
items as you can get.

3)--Next,You need to get to level 133. I think it is fitting


that since Haseo started his journey at level 133, he should
finish it at level 133. So go out and train! Try a level 134
area, that should do the trick.

4)-- Use cheat codes to upgrade your Duel Guns and your new
Twin Blades.

5)--Last, You should hopfully be able to upgrade Kuhn's steam


gun one last time with Virus cores.

Aside from that, there's not alot I can say. Prepare as best you
can, use your best judgement. After 3 games worth of experience,
you should be fine.
------------------------------------------

Here's my equipment and item set-up for the final battle:

--Haseo-
Twin swords: Empty Skies lvl 125[Customized: Mortal]
Broad Sword: Broad White lvl 133 [Customized: Strategic att]

Revival Medicine (revive ally) x40


Revival Potion (fully revive ally) x25
Wonder Soda (All Status affects) x40
omipotent Soda (All status affect all Allies) x25
--------------------------------------------------

Also, give any other powerfull healing items you might have come across
while out adventuring to Atoli. If you've got this stuff done, then you
should be good to go.

When your done getting everything you might need. It's time to move out.
Save, then go to the Chaos Gate and switch to the Breg Epona Server.
Then head for the last dungeon.

Note: after this point, there is no return. None.


This a straight shot to the end. Do or die.

------ 30)Excited, Conflict's, Fate -------

Get ready for a very very long road ahead.

------------------
--Final Battle: Stage 1--
------------------
Our first task is to conquer this three floor
dungeon with warp point mazes.

-1st Floor:

This floor is very easy to understand, it dosen't


need much explanation. Just head for the exit on
the oppisite side of the floor. Use the Demon Safe
Shoes to bypass all the normal monsters that need
not be fought and would therefore waste your supplies of
items needed for later.

-2nd Floor:

This is where things get intresting. Use the below map


to navigate the area.

Once you reach the last room, use area hacking (press R1)
to reveal the entrance to the next stage of our final mission.

------------------
--Final Battle: Stage 2--
------------------
The second stage of the final area is an outer dungeon.
This one isn't so hard except for the fact that you only
have a 1 in 4 chance of guessing the correct warp point
at the end of the dungeon. Iroicly enough, I knew I was going to
write this guide after playing through the game once. So when I
guessed the correct warp point that leads to the end of the
dungeon on the First try, I made sure to write it down. =P

I suggest you do so because after this, there is no
turning back. None. No platforms back to town, no escape.
None.
From here on in it's do or die.
Prepare yourself for an Avatar battle.
------------------
--Final Battle: Stage 3--
------------------

As you enter, you'll see some scenes with everyone


talking. Watch all of the scenes then come back and read.
Pause right before you start into the Avatar battle. And
I'll give you some quick advice on this final boss fight.

Alright, you saw some scenes with everyone talking. Alot of it is


self explantory. Easy to understand. Here's what you need to know.
The final boss fight is broken into 3 parts. This is part one.
The first thing is to attack Cubia from the outside and to
destory the outer shell that protects Cubia's head, the weak point.

---------Final Boss Fight: Part 1


- Avatar Battle-

-Notes on Skeith:
First, Skeith has got some major upgrades with the aid
of the xth-form.

-a)Skeith's slash attacks now move in enery blades that


fly away from skeith, meaning his physical attack now have some
range to them. This is very useful as you won't need to be face to
face with a target to attack it.

-b) Skeith can Lock-on to multi-targets by holding down


the square button. The max number of targets locked-on will be
shown when the target circles turn from white to red.

-c)Normal Shots for this battle are completely useless.


Use lock-on shots.
-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Cubia Alpha
My Level: 133

-Enemy Attacks:

Normal Shot- cubia will fire purple energy at you. Just move side to side
to aviod.

Ectoplasm- This attack wont do any damage to Skieth, but it will knock
him away from the Dragon Head after it recovers from being stunned.

-Stragedy:

Hold the square button to lock on to as many targets as you can.


Don't fire untill the target circles turn red. You need to target
All the Cubia Gomoras and the 'dragon head' too.

Once you stun the 'dragon head' Dash forward and attack using Slashs
with your scythe. You'll only be given a certian amount of time
while the 'dragon head' remains stuned. Once you defeat it, you
will have to repeat the process 3 more times. Note that it will
become harder to stun the 'Dragon heads' each time you defeat one.

Also note that after defeating about 2 of the 'Dragon heads'


You'll see a new type of Cubia Gomora in the form of a snake like
Gomora. You have to slash these as they come at you. You can slash
at them before you see the (X: slash) signal. Remember that your
slash attacks have some range to them now.
-----------------------------------

Once the forth 'Dragon Head' is defeated, the outer shell will
break and Cubia will rear it's ugly head.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Cubia Beta
My Level: 133

-Enemy Attacks:

Normal Shot: Cubia will fire energy shots at you, just move
steadily to one side or the other to avoid.

Gomora: Cubia summoms more Gomoras to fight.

Jihad: cubia fires off a salvo of energy, dash to avoid.

Chaos Gehenna: Cubia goes Matrix Setinal style on you and sends
a solid stream of Gomoras right at you. Nothing to do but slash away
and hope you survive.

-Stragedy:

Simple=> Use lock on to kill Gomoras and stun Cubia. Move in for the
kill. And don't die. After that, just wait till he protect breaks.
Avoid being hit and blast Data Drain in his pretty little face.

--Megan Wise man pinted out I forgot to metion this:


The trick to beat this guy is to make sure you dash backwards and put some
distance between you and Cubia after he pushes you back, hence alot easier to
get the Multi-Lock to work.

Sry I forgot to mention this before, me being a


defensive gamer for me this is habit. So for those
of you who are a little more agressive, here's a tip
that might help.

-----------------------------------

Anyway so after you beat this guy from the out side you discover that
Data Drain is completly useless. So Yata gets the bright idea to go inside
cubia and destroy the core Star Wars style.......Great idea RETARD!!!

So now that you've broken open the shell, you can get inside Cubia via
his over grown mouth. Literally into the belly of the beast.

------------------
--Final Battle: Stage 4--
------------------
---------Final Boss Fight: Part 2
-Stopping Cubia's Healing-

This next part of the game is actually the hardest part of


the final battle. The reason is beacuse you will face
3 parties of Dopplegangers. Yes 3 Parties of them. And you also
have to leave both your party members behind after each battle.
So here we go. And pay close attention.

After some incrediblly cheesy scenes with everyone talking, you'll


be given the opertunity to save. If you do so, Save on a DIFFERNT
file. You can also access storage and form a new party. Also,
dont forget to equipe your good Accessory (aka not the Demon Safe Shoes)
--Party #1: Silabus and Gaspard. Set Gaspard to Healing.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Dopplegangers
My Level: 133

-Enemy Attacks: Every attack you have, they have.

-Stragedy: Use your Dual guns DO NOT switch weapons.


ONLY use your Dual Gun art: Justice.

Go after the Dopplegangers that are not Haseo first. They should
be lower leveled then you because they are equal level as your party members,
and therefore will be weaker and easier to kill. After which your party
members can help gang up on Haseo's Doppleganger.

Use the dual gun ability to quickly switch targets to keep Haseo's
Doppleganger
on the ground/knocked over while also targeting one of the other
dopplegangers.
ALWAYS counter-attack Haseo's Doppleganger, NEVER use arts first.

Again, a helpful tip from "Megan Wiseman"-


Right after using arts, try just holding the O button to block and
just waiti till your skill bar recharges and then continue to use
Arts again. So Arts, Block while recharge, Arts, Block while recharge,
Rise and repeat.
-----------------------------------
Once done, set up your next party and move on.

--Party #2: Endrance and Sakubo. Set Sakubo to Healing.

Note:(Same stradgy as above)


-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Dopplegangers
My Level: 133

-Enemy Attacks: Every attack you have, they have.

--Party #3: Pi and Yata. Set Pi to Healing.

Note:(Same stradgy as above)


-----------------------------------

-----------------------------------

Now then, time for your final party of the really kick butt characters:
Add Atoli and Kuhn to your party, and then get ready to rock and roll.

------------------
--Final Battle: Stage 5--
------------------
---------Final Boss Fight: Part 3
-Destorying the Core-

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: Cubia Core
My Level: 133

Targets: Right Core, Left Core, Core Shield, Central Core

-Enemy Attacks:

-Stragedy:

The first part of the battle will switch between fighting the
Right Core and the Left Core. Right Core is weak to Twin Sword
attacks, and Left core is weak to Scythe Attacks. Use Dual Guns
for noraml/non-skill attacking. Goromas will appear when a
switch is made from right to left arm.
a)First the Right arm. Wait until it hits the ground then move
in with the dual guns and attack. Use your Twin Blade skills
as the Right Arm is weak to that kind of attack, use double
trigger to switch back to Dual Guns for normal attacks. Pound away
until Right arm is destroyed.

b) Left Core is weak to Scythe Attacks.

c) Core Shield is weak to Broad sword attacks.

d) Central Core isnt weak to any type of attack.


Not alot to say really, it's an easy fight, just pound away
till you kill it. Use arts when ever it trys to use a skill so
you wont take any damage. Just keep using powerfull attacks till you
kill it; awakening helps. And if you want to end the series in style,
use your awakening to finsh off the core.

-----------------------------------

Congrats friends you just beat the Game, and the whole series.
Now instead of going into detail about what you've just done,
I'll just let you watch the movies and enjoy. Talk to you
when you reach your desktop. Enjoy the moment.

--------------------------------
Movie- One Mind
Short Version/Main points: Shows Haseo gathering the power of
the Epitaphs for one final attack. But unfortunitly the best result
they hope for is that their powers will cancel each other out and that
both Anti-existance and Epitaphs will be destroyed. With out Ovan
the Epitaphs are missing 1/8 of their power = They're screwed. But
Ovan shows up in the nick of time to end it.
--------------------------------

--------------------------------
Movie- Entrusted Future
Short Version/Main points: Dispite the fact that Ovan was able to
help you end the threat to the Network, and therefore the world;
Ovan begins to turn blue and he begins to fade. Yes, this is good bye
for Ovan. But he tells you that His ending is really your new begining.
And so it ends.
--------------------------------

Well you end up at you desktop after awhile. Time to check out what's
going on.

-E-mail- Kuhn : Good Work
Short version: Kuhn syas that he'll be out a part time

the world. Such is the fate of the un-sung heros.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------

which I find kinda creepy. But whatever.
----------------------------------

Short version: Says he's proud of you.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Silabus : we did it!
Short version: Finally Silabus and Gaspard know the
truth of what you've been doing all this time, and
Silabus says he'll never forget it.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Gaspard : we WON!
Short version: Says 'we won this together'.
----------------------------------

Personally I was expecting the ending to be amazing, but it wasn't.
It's still good, but not great. Enjoy everyone.
--------------------------------
Movie- At A walking Pace
Short Version/Main points: Yep, that's right. Haseo turns and
runs after her. Kinda ironic.........Sad, and Ironic.
Ironic that Haseo would fight all that time to save Shino, and
yet sad that he didn't end up with her at the end. Still, now
that I've had time to think about it. It makes sence. Haseo changed so
much since the begining of his journey. It's impossible for things
to be the way they were. No, Now that Haseo has grown he has to
move on. But hey, that's just my opinion.

then see you later. The rest of us however, will be taking part in the
ever so ridiculous Forst of P........ oh wait I'm not suposed to
say that yet. >_<

--------------------------
------------------ End of Vol. 3 / Post Game -------------------
--------------------------

Ok, after the credits you'll end up at your desk top. Now there's
a couple hours worth of stuff to do now that you've beat the game.
So lets get to it.

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Ono : You are NOT the Strongest!
Short version: Apperentally a high ranking team in
the Arena wanted to challenge you durng a tournament.
But they weren't included in the PK tournament. Therefore
they have asked for a match in the Normal Limit battles.

Of course you can't refuse. But we'll want to level up and


get some better equipment before then. They ARE the very best
arena team.....other than you.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Zelkova : FYI
Short version: He says that Tartarga can now be
used like a normal town for you and anyone in your
friends list. Also, Canard has been permenitly set up
at Tartarga.

Sweet.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Shino : I'm back
Short version: Shino gives you her member address
again since you lost everything when Azure Kite accidentally
hit you with Data Drain in Vol. 1 when he was aiming for
Ovan who was standing right behind you.

So..yay! You now have another Harvest Cleric


----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : Special Word
Short version: They give you a really nice
keyword that's very handy.

This is one thing on our list of things to do.


See the 'God' ChimChim is rare, and can only be found
areas when you use a this special keyword. It appears on the
field in place of the lucky animal. Inreturn for defeating it,
your party member's affection will increass.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Aura : To Morgana's Children
Short version: This e-mail is incredibly cheesy. I don't
know who was in charge of the final 'OK' on this game, but
they need shot in the knee caps for putting crap like this
in the 3rd game. (they must have been running short of funds
near the end of the series)

Anyway, the good part is that Aura just gave you the Member
Adresses of Azure Kite, Azure Bulmung, and Azure Orca. Sweet.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Bordeaux : Be Happy, a message from Bordeaux
Short version: She gives you her member address. Yay?
Another Blade Brandier to add to the list. Woo....
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- Uriyamada : Congrats on beating the game
Short version: You can play the game fully restored.
Yay? Not that there was a whole lot wrong with it anyway.
At least in the old series the graphics of the towns and
areas got fixed.

*shakes head* I seriously would have done a few things to this


game to make it better........hmmm maybe I'll put a ranting
section near the bottom of the guide about how I would have made
this game better. lol.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-News- :
Short version: Lots of stuff here.
First and biggest thing is the new Online Jack.
You get to see the real life Shino leaving the
Hospital.

In other news, you have some post Crisis news


concerning Ovan and some Military robots gone
crazy.

Also, there's a short and rather choppy article about


polls selecting Haseo as the number one online gamer.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: Some ppl says that CC Corp has got to
be finished now that they've screwed up so badly.

Anyway, the rest is just some ppl talking about game


mateniance.
Also, a picture in the Apkullu.
----------------------------------

Well, that's it for now. Time to log-in and get going on


the extra things that need doing. Also note a random topic on the
offical forums.

----------------------------
-------Town: Mac Anu -------
----------------------------

Transfer over to Tartarga.

----------------------------
-------Town: Netslum Tartarga -------
----------------------------

Ok now, time to break out the list of things that need doing.

------------
- To-do list -
------------

a)Level up to level 140, then level 150.


b)Defeat the Doppleganger
c)Upgrade Lost Weapons/Defeat Beasts of Seal.
d)Kill all 7 Chaotic Pkers/Est.
e)Beat the SweepStakers in the Arena
f)Open and Beat the game's Hidden Quest

----------------------------
-------Town: Netslum Tartarga -------
----------------------------
First thing to do is level to lvl 150. There are several reasons
for doing so:

a)You want to be able to beat the Beasts of Seal to


upgrade your Lost Weapons to their final Upgrade.

b) you want to be able to beat the doppleganger for


vol 3 because he has new and amazing items you give you.

c)You want to be able to beat the level 150 Team that challanged
you to an Arena battle.

d) You want to NOT die during the Hidden quest.


I just thought those would be some good reasons to share with you.
So get to it. I want you to train until you are level 150.
Yeah anyway, just go to Field Areas that are 4 levels higher than you.
Doing this will ussally ensure you fight monsters that have good
amounts of experiecne. Although I don't suggest going to areas with
Field Bosses as the area objective, I'd stick to the symbol collection
missions. They tend to be easier monsters to kill there.

NOTE: I almost forgot. Since the party that you are leveling up
to level 150 will most likly go with you to the Hidden Quest,

There is something you should know. The Last Dungeon is


long, VERY VERY VERY LONG! You need party members that are above
good, they have to be amazing. That being said I HIGHLY suggest
that you use Atoli and Zelkova as your party members for the rest
of the Post Game activities.

See, Zelkova has items that restore full health and


full SP. AND, he pratically never runs out. He has 99,999,999GP
thats just under a 100 Million GP. So he always restocks his items
everytime you log-in. Hence he is a very valuable party member:
He's high leveled, he's strong, and he has healing items. And
also Atoli is a given considering that she's an amazing healer.

Hint: Use +50% EXP material on Accessory on all party members.

So, come back when you've leveled up everyone to level 150.

Ok, so now that you're level 150, pat yourself on the back for making it to
the level 150 cap. You are now as stronge as you'll ever probably be. Except
for maybe getting the Dual Guns at the end of the Hidden Quest.
Anyway, it's time to get Haseo's best equipment for the whole series.

---------------
---------------- 1)Doppleganger ---------------
---------------

OK For those who havn't been following along with the whole guide
and just skipped to this section here's a quick overview of the
Doppleganger and everything you need to know about it not only
for Redemption, But also Vol. 1 and 2.
-------------------------
--------What is the Doppleganger?
-------------------------

--The Doppleganger is a rare monster that looks like an evil version of Haseo.
This monster is very strong and is ALWAYS 8 levels higher then you. Even if
you reach the Level cap of 150 he will still be 8 levels higher
then you.(lvl 158)

(And to verify that information I have friends who like to Code Break games.
AKA they like to put it on their computers and mess with the game programming
to see if they can cheat. They're the ones who found out that the
Doppleganger
is always 8 levels higher then you REGARDLESS of level cap.) Anyway...

I should tell you that he is by far the HARDEST monster to beat if


you try to beat him in a straight forward fight. In fact I almost dont think
it can be done. That's why we have to cheat a little.
Now as you can see being that this monster is ALWAYS 8 levels higher then
you;
you might be wondering why on earth you would be intrested in it.

Well, the simple fact of the matter is that if you beat the
Doppleganger
you can aquire the best Armor in the entire series for Haseo. However there
are
several requirements you have to meet in order to get these items:

--------1) You MUST have defeated the Doppleganger one time in vol 1.
(giving you the Own King Key item)

--------2) You MUST have defeated the Doppleganger two times in Vol 2.
(giving you the Forgotten Shadow and the Moonlight Faith Key
items)

NOTE: Without the Own King, Moonlight Faith, and Forgotten Shadow key items;
you WILL NOT be able to aquire the Doppleganger Armor and Accessory.

However, even if you don't have these key items, you will be able to still
aquire the Doppleganger Dual-Guns the first time you beat him.

------------------------------------------
--------How do I Find and Defeat the Doppleganger?
------------------------------------------

The Doppleganger can ONLY be found on the Open Field type areas. They can
not be found in Dungeons. (Also note that if you use the Keyword Moonlight
in the area keywords, the doppleganger will always be present in the field
until you kill him.)
----Here's the stragedy to defeat the doppleganger for vol 3:

1) First and formost you have to beat the game inorder to get the
Doppleganger rewards so it doesn't make much sense to mess with it
before you beat the game.

2) Since you beat the game you should have done a quest that unlocked the
Lucky Animal campaign. Go to the Alchemy Distric in Mac Anu and talk to
Dr. Pao (I think that's his name) And he will give you the Lucky Animal
Radar. This item is very important.

3) Once you have the Lucky Animal Radar, go and buy about 20 smoke screens.

4) Then, chose two characters that you want to take with you on the
Hidden Quest. (I always use Zelkova, and Atoli) Now, level Haseo and
your chosen party members to level 150.

5) If all your party members at at level 150, Go to:


[Sigma] Serene, Wrath's, Two Wings (Area level 148)

Here you will find a Sleipnir lucky animal. This lucky animal is the key to
beating the Doppleganger. DO NOT KICK IT YET.

6) Go around the field and kill all the monsters you can until you have
filled
the Moral Guage so that you can perform Avatar Awakening. SAVE THE AWAKENING,
don't use it yet!

7) After you have killed all (or at least most) of the mosters in the field,
go and find the Sleipnir Lucky animal that you hopefully left alone. NOW, you
may kick it.

Once that is done, leave Haseo standing still with out moving or pausing the
game for about 5-10 minutes. By standing still you will cause the
Doppleganger
to appear on the field. It will begin hunting for you. It basicly wanders
around a general area on the field for about a minute and then it will warp
to a new location in an attempt to find you.

8)You will start to see a red arrow much like the ones that show where an
enemy
party of monsters are. However, this arrow points to Doppleganger.

It's rare, but after ten minutes if he still hasn't shown up, just continue
to walk around the field until you find him. See he warps from place to place
in the field as to increase the chance of running into you, like I said above.
You'll know it's him when the edges of the screne turn red and
the creepy music starts playing in the back ground.

9) Once you have found the Doppleganger, get behind it and suprise attacke it.
The Sleipnir lucky animal will come to your aid and attack the doppleganer.
Now, you will notice that it does absolutly no damage. Don't worry it's ok.
You are actually damaging it, it just doesn't show it yet on the life bar.
10)Now, once the Sleipnir has attacked, use a smoke screen and escape. Wait
until the affects of the smoke screen wear off and then attack the
Doppleganger
again. You will have to do this 3 or 4 times before the Doppleganger starts
losing health.

11)The Sleipnir will aid you to attack the doppleganger 7 times.


After the 7th time trigger Avatar Awakening, and the Doppleganger will be
owned.

--Note!- What ever you do, DO NOT let him attack you while engaged in a
fight with normal Monsters. He can walk into a battle area then you'd be dead.

------------------------------------------
--------What are the rewards for doing all fo this?
------------------------------------------

-If you defeat the Doppleganger once in Vol 1 you will recive a Key item
Own king. This key item allows you to get the Doppleganger weapons in vol 2.

-If you defeat the Doppleganger twice in Vol 2 you will recive a Broadsword,
twin swords, and a Scythe that are level 50 but are as strong as level 100
weapons. You will also recive two key items: Forgotten Shadow and
Moonlight Faith. The key items allow you to get the Doppleganager guns and
equipment in vol 3.

-If you beat the Doppleganger twice in vol 3 you will recive a set of dual
guns, the best armor in the seires for Haseo, and the best accessory in the
series for Haseo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that's it. If you do this, you will get the best armor and accessory
for
Haseo in the whole entire series. But unfortunitly the Dual guns are complete
trash and aren't even worth using. *sigh*
Anyway, pat yourself on the back, with this equipment Haseo is pratically
invincealbe:

-First off Haseo takes 75% less damage from almost any type of attack. The
Only exception to this would be the Awakening from players in the arena.
The only other type of attack that would affect his is negitive status
attacks like Poision, charm, est.
-
Second, if an enemy manages to get around the fact that he takes 3/4 less
damage, Haseo takes SP damage before he starts taking HP damage, so it's
like he has an extra 700 HP.
-And Finally, even if an enemy were some how able to deplete Haseo's SP
and cause enough HP damage to kill him. His Accessory automatically
regenerates HP AND SP.

Now that is what I call sweet.


Anyway time to move on. Our next item on the to do list.

----------------
--------------------------- 2)Lost Weapons --------------------------------
----------------

The Lost weapons are weapons that can only be used by the 8 Epitaph users:
Haseo, Atoli, Kuhn, Yata, Sakubo, Endrance, and Pi (Ovan's Gun is already
missing which suggest that he has already aquired the gun and has always
been using it.)

The Lost weapons act as the 'ultimate weapons' for these 7 Charatcers once
they are obtained and fully upgraded.

Anyway, In Vol 2 the Lost weapons could be unlocked by presenting a certian


amount of Adler's Keys to the Alters. You could unlock all the weapons
except for Yata's Fans.

In Vol 3 you are given the ability to upgrade the Weapons by presenting
the required number of Virus cores to the Weapon's Alter. Virus Cores are
collected by performing Avatar Awakening on monsters, bosses ,or even
player's
in the arena.

Finally, the Lost Weapons can reach their final stage of Growth by defeating
a beast of seal. (lvl 135) After the beast of seal is defeated it will change
appearence aswell as becoming stronger.

Here is a list of the required number of Virus cores to upgrade the


lost weapons.

________________________________________________________________________

----------------|-------------------------------|-----------------------|
|10 | lvl 1 |

----------------|-------------------------------|-----------------------|

If you are following my guide you will be at the point I ask you to finish
this sub-section of the game. However, I should tell you that if you descide
to use Haseo, Zelkova, and Atoli for the Hidden Quest, then just worry about
upgrading Haseo's and Atoli's Lost Weapon. Honestly I was only able to get
about 5 of the 7 weapons upgraded before I finished the Hidden quest. So
if you don't get them all done then don't sweat it. Really it's just a nice
bonus to have them all upgraded.

Anyway, here's a little tid-bit of information that you might find usefull.
I got this from a friend of mine who also wrote a guide:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the information I got from Zero's guide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you have unlocked all Lost Weapons to level 4, you will receive an email
from Zelkova, after you have relocated to Net Slum. It tells you that you can
now use the virus cores to exchange for these stat-boosting items.

Find Raven's Guild Grunty (Wise Grunty) along the path to the Bridge.
He will be able to exchange them.

- To-do list -
------------

a)Level up to level 140, then level 150. (done)


b)Defeat the Doppleganger (done)
c)Upgrade Lost Weapons/Defeat Beasts of Seal. (done)

d)Kill all 7 Chaotic Pkers/Est.


e)Beat the SweepStakers in the Arena
f)Open and Beat the game's Hidden Quest

-----------------------------------------
Ok, the next thing on the to-do list is to beat all the Chaotic Pkers.
However,
seeing as that is all part of a Quest Champaign, then please just refer to
that section on everything you need to do, And I should tell those of you
who played the first two games, that there are not just 7 but 8 Chaotic Pkers
in vol 3. So please read that section to find out how to find and kill
all seven.

Refer to this section: f)Chase The Bounty

Just press Ctrl+f then paste that^ into the search box and that section
will give you all the infomation you need to know about beating the Chaotic
Pkers including the side quest section on the 8th Chaoctic Pker.

Note: I suggest the key words: Serene, wrath's, Berserker


(The Battle Area is on the other side of the Beast temple.)
Also not a bad area to get Cheat Code items.
-----------------------------------------
Alright then, Now that you've defeated all the Choatic Pkers. It's time
to accept the Challenge at the Arena.

----------------------------
-------Town: Lumina Cloth -------
----------------------------
Save first, then Add Zelkova and Atoli to your party. Or if you want
a really great challenge, do this battle solo. (which is how I'm
going to do it, just for kicks.)

------------------------------------
-------Arena Limit Battle: The Sweepstakers--------------
------------------------------------
-Party:Haseo (150),Zelkova (150),Atoli (150)
-Opponets: Ono (150), Peej (150), Wolf Song (150)
-Before the fight advice:

There's really nothing extra special about this battle. They're just
pretty strong. But really the main point of doing all this is for the
3 weapons they give you after you beat them.

So good luck and fight them like you would anyother arena battle.
----------------------------------------------------------

When you beat them, they send you a message that you fought a good battle
and to show that there's no hard feelings, they give you 3 pretty nice
weapons:

- BroadSword- Deadly FearBlade: lvl 148 (Keep and use it if you want, but
Honestly I just stick with Silad)

- Twin Swords- Wrath Bringer: lvl 146 (I ussaly give these to Alkaid)

- Staff- Summer's Staff: Lvl 146 (I ussally give this to Shino Seeing as
Atoli already has a Lost weapon)

----------------------------------

Well my friends, there's really only one major thing to do before I finish
writting up my guides for the .hack// GU series. And That is the Hidden
Quest. After that it's farwell for good.
I've read a little bit from Namco Bamdi and they say they would like
to continue the .hack series on the PS3. However I have no intention of
buying
a PS3 so it's very likly you won't see me writting anymore guides for
the .hack
series ever again. Sad but true. Anyway, enough of that. Let's finish out the
Games with style by digging into the Hidden Quest.

--------------------------------
--------------------- 3)Hidden Quest: Forest of Pain ----------------
--------------------------------

Ok, before we attempt to dig into the hidden quest, we need to make sure
we've
done a few things.

-------------1) Levels/Party Members

Haseo, Atoli ,and a third party member (Perferably Zelkova) all need to be
at level 150

-------------2) Equipment:

---Haseo:
Twin Blades- Empty Skies: lvl 125
Broad Sword- Silad: lvl 140
Scythe- Shadowy Death: lvl 75 (upgrade lvl 4)
Dual Guns- DG-X: lvl 101 (Cheat lvl 2)
Armor- OtherSelf: lvl 150 (Cheat lvl 2)
Accessory- Shadow: lvl 150
- Demon Safe Shoes: lvl 112*

*Note: The Demon Safe Shoes are the key to beating the
Hidden Quest. This accessory allows you to walk right past
normal enemies and they won't even blink an eye at you. In
other words, you can walk right through the entire dungeon
with out having to fight any of the regular battles. Which
is a good thing since it'll take you like 4-6 hours if you
had to fight every party of normal monsters along the way.
Not only that, but fighting all those monsters will
drain away you items; which is bad considering that you
have to do the last half of the Hidden Quest in one straight
shot without going back to town to restock your items.

-Also, if you for some reason you lost the Demon Safe Shoes there
is one other way to get the Accessory material. If you beat
the Bike Mission 10, you will get a Acessory material that
will have the same affect as the Demon Safe Shoes. Just
customize a level 145 accessory with this item.

---Atoli:
Staff-Flame Dancer: lvl 75 (upgrade lvl 4)
Armor- Sub Comet+5: lvl 142 (custom: -10% M,-25% P)
Accessory- Simple super Belt+5: lvl 145 (Custom:Heal Mastery)

---Zelkova:

Scythe-Goddess Scythe: lvl 127


Armor- Rough Monarch+5: lvl 145 (Custom: -50% P)
Accessory-Simple Super Belt+5: lvl 145 (Custom: Zen Mastery)

--------------3) Items

Make sure Haseo, Zelkova, and Atoli have the following items:

Fairy Orb x50


Smoke Screens x50

Healing Serum (200Hp) x40


Healing Potion (350Hp)x40
Restoring Drop (750Hp) x40

Sprite Drop (50Sp) x40


Fairy Drop (100Sp) x40
Nobel Drop (250Sp) x40

Revival Medicine (revive ally) x40


Revival Potion (fully revive ally) x25
Wonder Soda (All Status affects) x40
omipotent Soda (All status affect all Allies) x25

Warrior Tome x30


Knight Trump x30

Also, give any other powerfull healing items you might have come across
while out adventuring to Atoli. If you've got this stuff done, then you
should be good to go.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright then, if you've managed to get all of this then you you
are ready to begin the Hidden Quest. But first we have to open it. So
Time to log-out and check the Forums.
SAVE!

----------------------------------
-Forums- :
Short version: Look for the topic called:
'Strange Place'

There should be two posts, reply to the


last one by pressing the X button. Reply:
1) "A question" -"Tell us the Area Words."

After that, log-in to the title screne then log-out.


If you look at the topic again, you will be given keywords.
----------------------------------

Time to log-in and Check it out.

----------------------------
-------Town: Netslum Tartarga -------

Put your party together and head out to the


new area.

----------------------------
----H.Q.) Unknown, Mortuary's, ShadyRite-------
----------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Cave
Area Level: 101
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Zelkova
My Level: 150

This place is like many of the other 'pre-main mission'


dungeons. It's pretty much a straight forward walk to an
event. Feel free to equipe the Deamon Safe Shoes to avoid
the annoying regulare battles.

When you reach the back of the Dungeon an event will take place.
You will see some gusy who looks alot like your old friends from
the previous Hidden Quests. They will summon Zombie type goblins
take you on, of course this is futile against the Haseo.
Kill them off and watch the scenes afterward.

Anyway, after that, head for the Platform in the previous room, and
head on back to town.

Now, log-out and check for more information on the Forums.

Short version:
Read through the Posts and reply to
the last post:

Log-in to the Title screen then log back out and check the

is asking the questions now, and of cousre quickly forks over
the keywords.
----------------------------------

Well, time to get going. Log-in.

Party: Haseo,Atoli, Zelkova
My Level: 150

Again, feel free to use the Demon Safe Shoes. Now, head for
the end of the Floor and watch the event yet again.

Anyway, You will head a voice from above saying that Haseo has
been chosen as a Judge. See the Lord of the Dead is attempting to
break out from the Seal to the underworld, and Haseo is the only
one who can face him in battle.

Well, right about then, your old buddy shows up and summons
a Death Penalty. Dont worry, its very easy to beat. And once you do the
scenes continue.
After the scenes you get an e-mail. Great. =)
Head to the previous room and head back to town via Platform.

hang out for a bit. She says she'll be waiting at the
entrance to the Forest of Pain.
----------------------------------

----------------------------------
-E-mail- CC Corp : Notice of "Forst of Pain" commencement.
Short version:

They sent you an e-mail saying that the event


will be starting. They also say that it is highly suggested
that you are over level 135 and that you prepare well due to the
fact that you will be unable to pull items from your storage while
in the Forest of Pain.

Alright then. It's to tackle the biggest dungeon I've ever seen in the
.hack series.
----------------------------------

Log-in.

----------------------------
-------Town: Netslum Tartarga -------
----------------------------

Double check to make sure that you have all the needed healing items.
Also that your equipment is ready to go and finally that you have the
Demon Safe shoes (as they will be key to you beating the Forest of Pain
within a reasonable amount of time).

Alright, Once you've added Atoli and Zelkova to your party,SAVE!, then
it's time to head out.

Here you'll get an excelent view of the Forest of Pain. And don't be
suprised if the forest is actually as big as it looks. Anyway, you'll
see some scenes with an NPC.
Afterward, Haseo mentions that it feels like it's been years since he was
last here. You see, I may have mentioned in my other guides, but that when
Shino went into a coma, Haseo started seeking power so that he could destory
Tri-Edge. That search lead him here to the Forest of Pain. Even though he was
low leveled he still attemped the dungeon. He basicly just ran through the
dungeon ignoring the monsters until he got to the end. Where he met someone.
Someone who's been part of the game for many many years. Anyway,
this
person granted Haseo alot of power. Haseo skipped his 1st job extension and
went right to his 3rd form, he was also leveled up to level 133. Haseo and
Taihaku are the only two people to ever beat the Forest of Pain. Anyway, from
there Haseo became the Terror of Death and well,the rest as they
say is history.

Well now, time to get a move on. Go ahead and use the warp point infront
of you to enter the Forest of Pain.
------------------------------------

Bonus Objecttive: 25 hit combo

-Block 1:

Right then you'll get a short message about the Phase Bonus or
Bonus objectives. These Objectives are purely optional to complete
the Forest of Pain. However, they will render rewards for completeing
the Objectives. You can view what your objectives are by viewing the
map and pressing X.

As a general rule I won't be covering the Bonus objectives. If you


wish to attempt them then feel free in doing so. But I must warn you that
it will take time and believe me, time is something you don't want to waste
in this dungeon.

Note:The ONLY bonus objective I'll be covering is the objective for


blocks 51-54. I'll explain more when we get there.

For now here's what you need to do:


1)Equipe the Demon Safe Shoes.
2)Have Atoli cast 'Ap do' on all party members, and cast
again when it wears off.
3)Use a fairy orb on map every block/floor.
4)Run straight through each floor ignoring all regulare monsters.

-Block 2: (Same Stragedy as Above)


-Blcok 3: (Same Stragedy as Above)
-Block 4: (Same Stragedy as Above)
-Block 5: Now things get intresting. You face only one monster here.
It's a boss monster like the ones you would encounter in a Field. For
now these monsters are very easy. But later in the dungeon they can be
down right nasty. Also note that there are two types of boss fights:
Regular Boss Fights and Special Boss Fights.

Regular Boss Fights are what I mentioned above; boss monsters from fields.
Special Boss Fights are Monsters that mimik Hidden Quest Monsters you've
fought from previous games.

For now, this one is just a regular boss fight.


Also note that for every boss fight, especially the
ones later on in the dungeon, you need to switch to
the Shadow accessory while fighting Bosses and then
back to the Demon Safe shoes for moving around the
dungeon.

Thats right, after this point you will be doing an


all or nothing drive for the end of the Dungeon. It's a good
idea to head back to town and restock on all your supplies.
When your ready we'll continue to the end of the Dungeon.
You will especially want to restock all 50 of your fairy orbs.
And all of your status cure items for Atoli, she almost ran out
when I did this dungeon the first time.

--------------Forest of Pain: Second Half------------------


Remember, there's no more check points from here on in.
It's do or die.

*Note: For Floors 51-54 I suggest that you do the bonus objective.
The resaon being that you will recive a set of Dual Guns for completing
the objective. Granted the DualGuns are crappy and arn't even worth using.
But still, It's nice to say you got all four sets of Dualguns.

Bonus Objective:
1. Perform 18 Skill Triggers
*2. Defeat 6 enemy parties*
3. Clear while being KO(ed) three times or less.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: The One Death (9,999HP)

-Stragedy: Use Broad sword to break the armor then use the Twin
Swords or Dual Guns to widdle away at the HP. This really isn't
very tough. Remember that if you use Awakening, that you use it

-Stragedy: Ok, this guy is actually pretty


hard. See he has a certian amount of Physical Damage
tolerace just like the Doppleganger. Which means you
have to just keep attacking until it starts taking damage.
I suggest using a Warrior's Tome to boost your party's
strength. This should help alittle.

eventually kill it after about 7-8 Awakenings. Trust me,
it can be defeated.

Block 100: Dungeon's Fianl Boss

Before using warp point, Use all Stats boost spells,


items, est. Get ready for a truly ridiculous Boss battle.
After you warp, you find yourself at Indieglut Lugh again.
This time you come face to face with the REAL Dark Lord, and
he is NO push over.

-----------------------------------
BOSS FIGHT!: True Cernunnos (9,999HP)
My Level: 150
-Stragedy: He has very high Defence, has alot of
attack power and can heal himself 1,000HP at a time.
In other words: Use your DualGuns to Avoid status counter,
use Broad Sword for Skill trigger, use Avatar Awakening ALOT.
Use Warrior Tome to boost Strength, and Knight Trump to weak
the Dark lord. This fight takes awhile, but as long as you
keep pouring your Arts attacks into the boss, he will eventually
die. Good luck.
-----------------------------------

Well congrats my friends. For Beating the final boss you


recive 50k and the DG-Z which are proabaly the most over powered
weapons in the whole seires.

Well anyway, congrats on beating the 100 floor dungeon


of the .hack series: The Forest of pain. Enjoy the honest to
goodness final scenes of the .Hack// GU series. Its been fun all.

Oh yeah, just as a side note. That's Harald's AI that Haseo is


talking to. Harald is the original creator of the Game who somehow
managed to seal his consiousness in the game. 0.o
yeah, not sure how that works *shrugs* The AI is like his alter ego.
It was meant to help raise Aura when she was born.
(See Characters and Story section for more explaination.)

--------------------------------
Movie- Sign Of the Truth
Short Version/Main points: Just Haseo and Shino talking
about if Ovan will ever come back or not.

Well firends, not alot felt to do. Feel free to raise your guild rank.
Or even do the Final Greeting Card. (Go to areas using the 'BBQ Plate'
key word to raise party member's affection ratings. Personally I'm not
too big into the whole 'Promise' thing. I just sent it to Alkaid once
I got her affection maxed seeing as I think she was the coolest girl Haseo
has in his member list.) But anyway. You'll find a few sections wraping
up the odds and ends of the game. And don't miss my Story and Characters
section near the bottom. It wraps up some other odds and ends from the
story and also gives background of the Various installments
to 'Project .hack//'

well, even if you don't want to do these side sections, you can read my
parting words at the bottom of the guide.

--------------------
---------------- 4)Quest Champaigns ---------------
--------------------

---------------
-- a)Highway Master
----------------

Refer to this section

--Other then what is listed in that section on


how to complete the differnt tracks;
for this Champaign you must complete:

1: Complete 50 or more Bike trials


2: Collect 3000+ Chims on the tracks

-stragedy:
Go to the differnt bike mission areas and beat them all.
By the time it takes you to get 1st place in
all of those trials you will probably have completed
the above objectives.

------------------
-- b)Stray Mecha Grunty
------------------

For this Champaign you must complete:

1: Help Mecha Grunty 30 times


-Stragedy:
You must go an area or many different areas
and just give chims to Mecha Grunty 50 times.

Try to find an area where Mecha grunty is very close


to where you enter into the area. Fields are good for this.
And just go there over and over and over again till you
get it up to 50 times.

------------------
-- c)Lucky Data Collection
------------------

For this Champaign you must complete:

1:kick up to 50 lucky/unlucky animals.


2: Must kick all types of un/lucky animals at least once.

The lucky animals are alot harder to find in this game. They are no
longer set to one area. EX) IF you go to an area and find say a Gold Bird
is there, there will always be a Gold Bird in that area from then on.

Not so with Vol. 3

Now the lucky animals are based on your partie's average level compared to
the level of the area you are in. The top value along this chart is the
last digit of your party's average level. The Value on the side is the last
digit of the area level. The lucky animal that will be in the area is
determined where those two digits cross in the chart, kinda like the game
Battle Ship. =P

Anyway here's the link to the Chart.


http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/ZeroTheBurninator/walkthrough/lucki.pn
g

This is a chart that allows you to do things the hard way, and Unfortunitly I
found it rather hard to understand and use. There is a better
way but you have to wait till you're level 100.

-Stragedy: Level all your party members to level 150. Then go to Mac Anu.
Go to Fields and then Dungeons that are level 1-10. The lucky animals on
the chart will be there.

List of Lucky animals:


---------------------------------------
Name : Lucky/ Unlucky effect

Gold Bird------ :Turns all objest into treasure chests

find her too.

Stragedy:
Go to an area where a Battle area (blue energy barrier)
appears right next to where you enter the area. Fields
work best.

Anyway, just keep going to that area over and over and over
again.

Everytime you enter one of those Battle Areas you will encounter
1 of 3 types of fights going on.

Most likly->
1: Pker attacking player
2: Monsters attacking player

Less likly but will still happen->


3: Black list pker attacking player

See 1 and 2 are the most likly what you will find
every time you enter the battle area. However if you keep
going back over and over, eventually you will be able to
find and kill all 7 black list pkers.

---Side Quest: 8th Chaotic Pker

Once you have killed the first seven Chaotic pkers; check in with
the NPC in the back ally of Mac Anu's Mercenary district.

Then log-out and check the Forums.


Here you will see some posts concerning the 8th Chaotic Pker. Log
back in and go to a field with the 3rd word 'Beserker'. Find the
8th and final Chaotic Pker the same way you found the other Choatic Pkers.
Fight and kill her. And those of you who played the old games will
obviously know who this little but strong lady is.

Anyway, once you've beat her log out and check the Forums again.
you will see a post saying she was spoted in the back ally of
Breg Epona. So head over there and back to the end of the
long ally way. There you will see Gayros...I mean Piros the 3rd
and Natsume talking away. Piros will see you and insist that
Natsume give you her member address, Sweet!

You now have 3 of the original .hackers in your party. (not including
the Azure Knights) Well anyway, that wraps things up for the Chaotic
Pkers.
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

well thats it for Quests Champaigns. Personally I ussally


dont even finish most of them. Just enough to get the special
items from them, in order to just barely get my guild rank up
to max.

----------------
---------------- 5)Bike Missions ---------------
----------------
This setion is also known as the Highway Master quest Champaign. Although
like I have said before I don't really consider this a normal champaign.

First, head over to see Kafu near the @home. He should be right across from
the
warp point. Read what he has to say, then head back to the Chaos Gate.

Open the warp menu, Now set the first part word to 'Passing'.
Now depending on the combinatione of words after that you will get
different types of areas, if you look to see what the Misson for the area
is it will say this: "Bike Mission (Course #)" There are five different
courses. The should be done in a certian order becuase of the level of
difficulty. The order is 4, 3, 5, 1, 2. <- A little tip I got from Skitchell.

So you want to go to an area that is course 4 to start off with.


Now there are some general tips you want to follow, but chances are you
won't really understand what I'm talking about until you try the bike
missions yourself at least once.

So...I suggest these key words: "Passing, Wrath's, Two Wings.

Go here and try the Bike mission at least once or twice, that way
you get a feel for how things work and then I can re-cap and explain
stuff you may or may not have missed.

Ok here's the general rules you need to keep in mind:

1:Generally speaking the fist mission is the hardest because you don't have
any of the rare bike parts yet.
2: Always start off the mission with a charged boost that will save you time,
unless I say other wise. You can perform a charged start boost by doing the
following: as the counter begins to count down from 3, hold the Square and
X buttons at the same time. When the timer hits Zero; release the brake while
still holding the gas.
3: you want to keep the Nirto guage full and in use as much as possible, AKA
the entire time.
4: Keep pressing the R1 (boost) button over and over again the entire time
you race. It's alot easier then trying to guess when your guage is full while
trying to stear aswell. It saves precious seconds you need to win.
5: NEVER go to an area that has Fog in it. Makes it ALOT harder to do this
when it simply doesn't need to be.

Order of missions: 4, 3, 5, 1, 2

---(Vol 2 Bike Missions)---

------------------------
Bike Trial 4
------------------------

Engine: 170 Engine


Armor: Yamane armor
Muffler: type 500 Muffler
Tires: 150 tires

(Found at Dol Dona Junk Shop)

It's a Canyon Highlands area. I think it's the most annoying mission out of
all of them. There are two ways to do this mission:
Option A:

1: As the counter starts prepare a boost start. Take off and swearve left
into
Chims. Keep hitting the nitro.
2: As you round the corner, try to hit as many chims as you can.
3: Round the corner and just bearly clip the King.
4: Work through the s-curves, be careful and try not to hit the walls
as much as you can.
5: round the corner and hit the chims, keep pressing R1.
6: Round another corner, hit the chims and boost toward the next king.
7: Round the courner and hit the chims while angling toward the last king.

Option B:
1: Do not prepare a boost. When the counter says 'Go!', do a u-turn by
aiming the joystick down and to the left.
2: This part is important. Round the corner and clip the King.
3: Then with out slowing down, get ALL the chims in the first row.
There is just enough to fill the Nitro Guage.
4: Boost as you turn the corner, get as many chims as you can.
5: Through the curves, then through more S curves, and clip the
finial King. Even with a bad time this way turned out faster then the
other way. Which way you do it is up to you.

When you beat Matsu's time, head back to town.


---------------------------------------

------------------------
Bike Trial 3
------------------------
Engine: Kirisame Engine
Armor: Yamane Armor
Muffler: Raging Muffler
Tires: Night Tires

(Did Bike Mission 4 and rewards from Kafu (did 15 runs and 877 chims).

-When you start this mission DONT BOOST. Just press the gass normaly and
bear to the right getting all the chims and filling the boost guage.
AS you start to hit chims keep pressing boost button over and over so
you boost as soon as you can.

- Head straight but bearing slighting to the right. Then as you approch the
first King, stear in quickly so you hit the nest row of chims almost head on.

-After the chims end stear a little to the left. Hit the next group of
chims in the middle to get the most. Follow along the side of the hill.
Soon you'll see the next KING. Hit him and follow the path of chims.
-Take a some what to get up on the hill. Head straigh to the last Chim.

Note: You wont be able to beat the 1st place time if your boost isnt
going the whole time after you trigger it at the very begining. In other
words you have to keep it filled so it can run the whole race.

Good luck.

Make sure to tune up your bike before going out again, and check in with Kafu
to see if he gives you any more stuff.

------------------------
Bike Trial 5
------------------------
Engine: Kirisame Engine
Armor: Yamane Armor
Muffler: Tidal Muffler
Tires: Night Tires

This one is a little tough.

-Charge a boost start. Let go and use your nitro boost as soon as you can.

-Then, take the turn wide as that you hit the KING chim at a 90 degree
angel to the end of the hill. This will allow you to go over the hill
instead of the whole way around.

As you exit the hill make a 90 degree turn to the right.


Gather chims as you go and hit the second KING.

Next, as you aproch the last line of chims from the second king, bear left
and hung the shore line so you angel toward the last kind. Do the same with
the endge of the hill on your right. That angel will take you to the last
king.

------------------------
Bike Trial 1
------------------------
Engine: Kirisame Engine
Armor: Yamane Armor
Muffler: Tidal Muffler
Tires: Night Tires

-As you start follow the chims to the right. Boost ASAP.
- Bear a little to the right as you head for the next King.
-Clip him and hit the two groups of chims on your way to the next King
in the Middle.
-After you ram the next KING head straigh just long enough to hit the
group of CHIMS. Forget the last group and cut the remainder fo the corner
and b-line it for the last KING.

------------------------
Bike Trial 2
------------------------
Engine: Kirisame Engine
Armor: Hagane armor
Muffler: Tidal Muffler
Tires: Night Tires

Last mission.

This one is short but fast and is one of the only missions
that requires are skid turn=>

-As you start off, charge a boost.


-Collect all chims in the first row and hit the king.
-Stear hard left.
-As you are just about to run into the second KING. Cram
the joystick down and hold it very quicky. You will do a u-turn
while running into the 2nd KING.
-After the Side u-turn, chims the group of chims and boost to the end.

Being this race is shorter then the others. There's little room for error.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------
Bike Trial #6
------------------------
Example: (Passing,Warth's, Benadonna)

Note:Do not get a field that is cloudy,


foggy, or dark. You ALWAYS want areas that are
day time.

Engine: Kirisame Engine


Armor: Kurogane Armor
Muffler: Tidal Muffler
Tires: Night Tires

Ok, then.

1) Begin with a boost start. You can do this by holding down


the Square and X button at the same time. This will change the
boost.(signaled by white steam comming out of muffler)
When the counter says GO! release the Square button (brake)
and you will launch forward.

2) swerve to the left to hit the first row of chims. Keep


hitting the R1 button when doing this to activate the Nitro
as soon as possible.

3) After the second group of chims prepare to do a 180 degree


turn around the curve. (it's a sharp one)

4)Collect the next row of chim and boost into the turn. Clip
the edge of the King (Check point) and head for the bridge)

5) hit the chims on the bridge and turn a hard right.

6) Follow the arrow to the last King.


Look for chims along the way.

For 1st place you will get the: Kogane Armor.


Not very useful, but it's a start.
---------------------------------------

Now that you've gotton 1st place, I want you to go to


Kafu and view your record with him, this should render
rewards: some useful, some not.

---(Vol 3 Bike Trials)---

------------------------
Bike Trial #7
------------------------
Example: (Passing,Warth's, Fast Horse)

Engine: 210 Engine


Armor: Kurogane Armor
Muffler: Type 800 muffler
Tires: Night Tires

This is a hard corse just because there is so little


room for mistakes. However with the 210 engine that provides
the best Max Speed. You might just make it.

1)Boost start as soon as it says go.

2)Keep pressing R1 so you will boost as soon as guage


is full.

3) Drive straight ahead, as you approch the first King


wait until you are almost there then jerk the joy stick down.
This will cause you to perform a sliding U-turn. If you time
it right you will swipe through the king at the furthest point
in the sliding turn. In other words you will slide into the king
as you perform the U-turn rather then after you've already passed
through it.

4) Stear to the left as soon as you complete the u-turn and head to
the King on your left. Do the same U-turn move to clip the King.

5) Boost toward the last King with as much speed as you


can beat out of your bike. If you have the above, you should be able
to beat this mission.

Reward: Big Wave Muffler. Useful for offsetting the 210 engine's
lack of acceleration.
---------------------------------------

Two down Three to go.

------------------------
Bike Trial #8
------------------------
Example: (Passing,Wrath's Hand Song)

Engine: 210 Engine


Armor: Kurogane Armor
Muffler: Big Wave muffler
Tires: Night Tires

This course isnt as hard as you might think. Really the biggest
thing is to run through it once or twice to get the feel for things.
Then trying it again at full speed. The trick here is to cut corners
through the s-curves at hte begining and the end.

1) Boost start. Get the first batch of chim while turning right.
2)Cut the first corner and head for the first King
3) As you get the first king, prepare for a 90 degree turn to the
left.
4) Turn left again at the bridge.
5) Go up the hill clip the king and then down the hill on the
next path down.
6) across the bridge and then an 90 degree turn to the left.
7)Right after the bridge will be the biggest chance to gain time on
the clock by cutting the corner in a slant through the s-curves.
8)Boost toward the last king.

Reward: Rain Tires. One of the Best Tires.


---------------------------------------

------------------------
Bike Trial #9
------------------------
Example: (Passing,Warth's, Two Wings)

Engine: 210 Engine


Armor: Kurogane Armor
Muffler: Big Wave muffler
Tires: Rain Tires

1)Start boost. Get the first row of chims. Cut the first
corner. No not use the bridge, it's not worth it. Go around the
'long way' (which actualy is faster) Hit the first king.

2) Round the next corner (do not cut it took close) and hit
the next kind.

3) then just drive right at the last king.


Reward:Ayanami Muffler.
---------------------------------------

Ok, first off I highly suggest you empty your inventory


of all unessacary items, because the reward items you get from this
mission are AMAZING! Like not even joking at all, the weapon/armor/
accessory materials are some of the rarest in the whole game and
you will want to be able to keep as many as you can!

------------------------
Bike Trial #10
------------------------
Example: (Passing,Black, Arrows)

Engine: 210 Engine


Armor: Kurogane Armor
Muffler: Big Wave muffler
Tires: Rain Tires

This track is very easy compared to the others.

1)Boost start, Grab first row of chims. Boost with


Nitro.

2) turn lighlty left to aim at first King.

3) steer throguh s-curves.

4) just before the 2nd Kind is a 180 degree turn. Follow


the line of chim around the curve and don't try to cut it
close or else you'll miss the King.

5) Grab a row of chims to fill guage and boost. Take


the most direct path right to the last king.

Good luck.

Reward: Akagane Armor (best bike armor of the game)

Here's just a quick list of all of the Normal Quest and advice on how
to finish them.

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------

--------------------------------------
------- 19)Vulnerable, Barren, Safe House(Q) -------
--------------------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Dungeon
Area Level: 116
Party: Haseo, Atoli, Antares
My Level: 120

----Floor 1

This floor is prety simple. You'll find the there is more or


less one central path to follow to get to the next floor. Along
the way, no matter which way you go, you'll run into the Pkers
you need to find and defeat.

Use Fairy orb and Atoli's Speed+ spell to hurry the process
along.

--Pker's Group #1--

Greedy Cervantes: easy enough, just pound away.


Broad sword is a good idea.

--Pker's Group #2--

Garden Michelle: Take him out second. Broad sword might be best here.
Fiery Genie-Five: Take her out first. Scythe is a good idea here.

----Floor 2

Central Path, all the way.

--Pker's Group #3--

Wicked Ibaku: Take him out second. He has a certian amount of


physical tolerance that will wear off as you continue to fight him.
It take awhile.

Wicked Gerango: Take him out first. He has no physical tolerance


and there for easyier to take care of.

----Floor 3

Five down, five to go.


Really this last floor you'll have have to wonder around a bit
to find everyone.But ultimatly you need to head to the West and
north most side of the dungeon.

Really it doesn't matter, the Pkers are located in such a way


that you'll fight them no matter what. You really don't need
to go looking for them.

--Pker's Group #4--

Immortal Goriki: Scythe is the best idea here.

--Pker's Group #5--

These guys are your final challenge and they are really
not that hard. Just use your scythe and keep using arts
over and over. You'll be just fine.

When it's over with, you'll warp back to town.

Ok, this quest is a five lap race against the Golden Goblins.
Each Goblin will run one lap.
This is actually really easy. Just follow the course counter clock wise.
the bridge act's like your check point. You will get extra boost stock for
every lap you complete.

With your awesome pimped out bike, this will be a peice of cake.
Good luck.

Just make sure to keep to the inside of the turns and to get the
group of chims on every lap, you should be fine.

When done you will get an AWESOME accessory.

------------!!!!!!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!!!!!------------

DO NOT! I repeat, DO NOT under any circumstances get rid of the Demon
Safe shoes. This accessory is customized with a certian material that is
very very very very RARE! Infact it is only one of two opertunities to get
it. And you MUST have one of the two in order to have any resonable chance of
beating the Hidden Quest for Vol. 3

AKA--> KEEP THIS ITEM!!!!!

----------------------------
------- 14)Looming, Muddled, Seer(Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Temple Dungeon
Area Level: 110
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 116

This is probably my favorite quest in the whole game series.


Although it seems to be your run of the mill quest, it has
a very intresting and unexpected out come.

Use Fairy Orb. Then Have Atoli Cast 'Ap Do' on all
party members for faster movment speed.

1st Block: Nothing really too important.


Just get to the second block

2nd Block: Not much, just get to block 3.

3rd Block: You need to head for the center


room in the far south of the block.

You'll see a scene, afterward run up to the licky Kudan and give
it three good kicks right in a row. That will trigger some scenes
where it will fortell your future for you.....unlike you're local
fortune teller. This little bugger acutally is giving you a TRUE
prediction of your future!

"A grave danger that is creeping up on our world...."


"A Resurrecting Demon and the abominable Army of Death that Follows him..."
"And you are destined to take part in the great battle to come..."
"And when all is done that must finially be done..."
"You will have a surprising and unexpected encounter...."

You'll auto finsh the quest, and you'll get a peek at what might happen
at the ending of the game.
------------------- ------------------- -------------------

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------


----- 4)Steam Professor's Reshearch
-----------------------------------------
------- 12)Undercover, Lakeside's, Metal Beast(Q) -------
----------------------------------------
Area Type: Field
Area Level: 108
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Antares
My Level: 114

All the monsters in this are will be a cake walk.

This quest is rather simple once you know how exactly to


do it.

1st: you need to go to three of the Alters and defeat the monsters
there. You will place one of the wave generators everytime you defeat
an enemy party of monsters.

2nd: When all the Generators are place, begin to walk around the Edge of
the lake, eventually you will encounter the enemy boss.

Just use your Scythe to pound him to death.


It's not that hard of a fight.

When you finish you'll return to town and auto finish the quest.

------------------- ------------------- -------------------


------------------- -------------------

---------------------------( Quest )---------------------------


----- 5)The Chim Chim Song
----------------------------
------- 10) Glowing, Passive, Fairy(Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Jungel Cave
Area Level: 105
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Kuhn
My Level: 110

You'll notice that during the quest Kuhn seems kinda down all of
a sudden. hmm...

For now, lets get one with the objective.

Floor 1: have Atoli cast 'Ap Do' (increase speed by 50%) on


all party members. Then use a fairy orb to reveal the map.

For now all you need to do is make your way to the next floor
down. As you make your way to the next floor you see some scenes
here and there where Kuhn remains being slighty depressed....

Floor 2: Now, use a fairy orb and you'll see that there are several
dead ends on this floor. Well, we can deal with that in a minute.
More forward until you see a scene with a stray Chim Chim. Afterward,
if you follow the Chim you'll come to a fork in the road. Here you
need to take the right path. This will take you to the objective and
the end of the quest.

But of course before you can reach your objective you are met by
a very annoying boss monster. Just use your broad sword to pumble
him until his armor breaks. Then switch to your twin blades to finish
the job. Then continue on. When you reach the end of the path the scenes
will take place and end the quest. You'll auto finish.

Area Level: 102
Party: Haseo,Atoli, Matsu
My Level: 107

Block 1:

As you arrive You'll see some scenes.


Really there isn't alot to this quest.

For now, just head to the next block.

Block 2:

This is really rather simple. All you have to do is go from the


entrance to the block on the left (West) to the last room in the middle
on the right (east). The room is empty and it's where you'll find the
Grunties. Just get there and the scenes will ensue, which although are
rather odd and makes you wonder if the game creators weren't smoking weed
at the time of thinking this up.....they are in some small way, a bit funny.
* Shrugs* the Japaniess have an odd sence of humor.

You got to enjoy Haseo's comments on the situation. Anyway, about that
time a boss monster shows up......fun. Well just pull out your twin swords
and wail away at it.

When things are over with you'll head back to town. yay, what fun... >_>

Party: Haseo,(none), (none)
My Level: 116

Ok, you have to survive 4 rounds of tag with the Goblins.

--Round 1---
Haseo, the Terror of Death VS. Stehoney

Ok, the first two arent all that hard. Start off and run into
some chims to fill one of the Nitro guages.

Next chase after the Goblin. wait until you're right behind him
then hit the R1 button for a boost. If he's turing you cut in on
the inside of his turn you can cut him off and nail him.

--Round 2--
Haseo, the Terror of Death VS. Jonue

This one is pretty easy, just fill the nitro guage and give chase.
You have to hit him twice though in order to beat him.

--Round 3--
Haseo, the Terror of Death VS. zyan and Albert

Pick one of the two and just go for him. Remember to cut them
off in their turns and to use the nitro.

You need to hit Albert 3 times and Zyan 2 times to beat them.
--Final Round--
Haseo, the Terror of Death

VS.

Martina, The Speedy

This one is considerably harder.

You have to hit her 3 times and she gets faster


everytime you hit her. Just use the same strgedys as
you have with the other goblins and you'll win.

When it's over you'll complete the quest.

----- 8)Dubious Dog
----------------------------
------- 2)Unseen, Alien, Elf Animal(Q) -------
----------------------------
Area Type: Forest Dungeon
Area Level: 97
Party: Haseo,Silabus, Gaspard
My Level: 107

Block 1:
Use a Fairy Orb to reveal the map, and then a Speed Charm on Haseo.
You don't need to fight anything usless you want to. I just used
Smoke screens before I got near monsters, this turned me invisable
for about 3 or 4 seconds. Anyway, all you need to worry about is
just getting to block 2.

Block 2:
As you come to the first room in the 2nd block you'll see a sceen.
Follow Haseo's leading and just work your way toward block 3.

Block 3: If you look closly at the map you'll see several paths
branch off. All of them head south. You need to make for the one
in the middle right. It's the only square room at a dead end
that has nothing in it (No treasure chest or Chim Harvesters).
In other words: Use the following directions if you don't get it-

First split: Go East


Second Split: East
Third Split: Go south

When you get there-


You will discover the HeatWave Hound. Beat him to pulm, or become
Doggy chow. Just use your scythe, and at level 107 it wont be all
that hard. This fight was NOT easy when I did it the first time at
level 102.

When you're done you'll atuo finish the quest.

---------------------------- 7)Books of 1000 --------------------------
-----------------

============================================================================
The following section WAS NOT written by myself. This is a collection of
information that was gathered from two differnet sources. One is from the
Vol. 2 and 3 Guides written By Zer0 and the people at www.dothackers.net and
the other source is from a guide for vol 2 written by playboyskitch. I here
by
give the full credit for the information to those two people. All that I have
done in this guide is simply re-organized some of the information to better
suit this guide: An example of this is using item names from Zer0's guide
and and getting the levels of equipment from playboyskitch's guide.

Again I did NOT get this information by myself, so credit to them.


The ONLY thing I did was organize it into this section for the Books
of 1000.

(See bottom of this section for credits)


=============================================================================

----Ryu Book 1 - Battles

Description: This keeps track of how many battles you have won, how many
successful suprise attacks you've done, how many Rengeki attacks, and how
many
Awakenings you have used.

Strategy: Don't really need a strategy, just keep fighting monsters. The
level
doesn't matter.

----Ryu Book 2 - Trades

Description: This book keeps track of your trades with Party Members, how
many
times you've invited a party member to join you, how many gifts you've given
a
party member, and how much all the gifts are worth.

Strategy: Give your party members a bunch of crap, over and over. It'll get
your gift amount up real fast. :)

----Ryu Book 3 - Treasures

Description: This keeps track of how many times you've opened Beast Temple
Treasures (The treasure chests at the end of the level, in front of the
floating statue), how many normal treasure boxes you've opened, how many trap
boxes you've successfully opened, and how many objects (jars, muchrooms, etc)
you've destroyed.

Strategy: Go into a dungeon and play through it, opening every treasure chest
and object you see.

----Ryu Book 4 - Items

Description: Keeps track of all items, weapons, armors, and accessories


you've
ever had in your inventory.

Strategy: Use the Item/Equipment List

----- a)Lucky Animals

---------------------
----Lucky Animals----
---------------------
Also I want to insert a section on how to find all the lucky animals
for the Lucky Animal Campaign. The reason is because it's hard to
find them all and you need to do that to be able to get several items,
armor, and or accessories.

See the lucky animals are alot harder to find in this game. They are no
longer set to one area. EX) IF you go to an area and find say a Gold Bird
is there, there will always be a Gold Bird in that area from then on.

Not so with Vol. 2

Now the lucky animals are based on your partie's average level compared to
the level of the area you are in. The top value along this chart is the
last digit of your party's average level. The Value on the side is the last
digit of the area level. The lucky animal that will be in the area is
determined where those two digits cross in the chart, kinda like the game
Battle Ship. =P

Anyway here's the link to the Chart.

This is a chart that allows you to do things the hard way, and Unfortunitly I
found it rather hard to understand and use. There is a better
way but you have to wait till you're level 100.

Stragedy: Level all your party members to level 100. Then go to Mac Anu.
Go to areas that are level 1-10. The lucky animals on the chart will be there.

----Ryu Book 5 - Play time/Warps

Description: Keeps track of Play Time, and the number of fields you've gone
to.

Strategy: For play time, you can leave your PS2 on overnight, and for the
other
3 entries, just warp to different types of places.

----Ryu Book 6 - Arena

Description: This book keeps track of how many Arena Matches you've fought in,
how many times you've counterattacked (Using Rengeki), and how many Winner
Points (WP) you've acquired.
Strategy: Fight in the arena a whole lot to get your Arena matches and WP up.
To get your counterattack up, when the match starts, wait until someone
(probably the leader) begins to glow, and then hit R1 and attack that person.
Then back up, and wait for them to do it again. Repeat this process as many
times as you wish.

----Ryu Book 7 - Monsters

Description: This book keeps track of how many types of monsters you've
fought.

Strategy: Use the Monsters list

----Ryu Book 8 - Drive Time

Description: This book keeps track of how long you are on your bike, and how
many times you've crashed.

Strategy: Get on your bike, then ride around the town. Or leave your PS2 on
overnight while on your bike. Maybe tape a penny to the controler so Haseo
is moving around and so it counts the time. (It wont count if he's sitting
still on the bike)

===================================================

-----------------
---------------------------- 8)CrimsonVs --------------------------
-----------------

This section of the guide for CrimsonVS is a joint effort between myself
and a friend by the name of Megan Wiseman. So first off credit

---------a)Basics

-Basic advice:

Really its hard to give advice on card set ups becuase the more
battles you win the more cards you get through random selection.
So until you have pratically all the cards you can get, I really
can't do much other then give you general advice. However, I do
include some really excellent Deck suggestions a little later on,
so make sure to check those out. For now here's some general advice:

Rule #1: Check your rank, if you have more losses then
wins you need to redo how your deck is set up. That's prety obvious.

-A) General cards that have high HP or high AP aren't always the best ones
to use. The best General Cards are ones with High Charisma and with avarage
HP and AP. Reason: you can compensate for average hp and AP by using the
General's high Charisma to add in Unit cards that boost the General's
abilities.

-B) Cards that add AP or HP onto you General's stats every round are
ussally the best ones you can use. (not always, but ussally)
-C) USE THE PRATICE BATTLE!! Toy around with it and figure out what
combinations of cards work and which ones don't.
-D) View the Battle log. It WILL teach you alot about how the battles run.
Make sure to note what Cards the enemy uses and how they use them. Learn
from them, and copy their style to turn their stradgey against them. Or
keep an eye out for weaknesses in their deck set ups. You'ss find that the
game only uses about 4-5 differnt decks against you at a time.

Here's some general advice from Megan Wiseman:


-------------------------------------
See, in Vol. 3 you acquire "opponents", right? Players from "The World".
So you can do practice battles against these opponents instead of just
against your own decks. This is really helpful, because you get to pick
which of their three decks you want to battle against. PLUS, when you are
picking, you can look at the cards. Why does this help? Because the deck
shows what Delta Combo it has, and you can *write down* what cards make up
that combo. You see, there are lots of cards that make up the same Delta
Combo.
And different ones might work better in different decks. Some are cheap cost,
some are higher cost, etc.

This is how I started figuring out which cards, say, would make a Heroine
Combo...or a Twilight Brigade combo. Then I just kind of fiddled with
adding and subtracting different cards in the list until I got a combination
that a) made the Delta Combo I wanted; b) worked well together; and c) worked
well with my General and his/her ability (if they had one).

Complex? yeah. Time consuming? Well, double yeah. But hey, if you like the
Crimson VS thingie, it's probably worth the time to figure out how to do it
if you want to go all the way to the top and beat Card Master Gaspard! LOL.
And actually, it didn't take that long for me to figure out a couple of
decent Delta Combos. It's just that I haven't really figured out a good
one to go with the two best Generals from the first set, which are Endrance
and Shino. They have the highest Charisma, but kinda low AP and no special
Junction Ability. So I'm still fiddling with those.

With the Delta Combos, though, having a high Charisma isn't always necessary.
There are several good Generals in the 9-11 range, for instance, who have
higher AP numbers, good Junction Abilities, and you can find a Delta Combo
that fits in their cost and has synergy with them. *shrug* So I guess it
pays to just kind of experiment some, look at your opponents' decks and
see how they work, and see if you can try to come up with one that is
even better.
---------b)Getting Cards

-By winning you will gain cards. You can get most of the cards just by
raising your rank. However, there are a few other ways to get cards: through
the process of beating vol 2 and 3 you will gain cards. If you follow my
guides you will most likly get them. The only other thing would be the books
of 1000, but I don't think that's very often, or even at all: not sure to be
honest.

---------c)Suggested Decks

My Personal Favorite is this Deck. I got this from copy cating Gaspard
in the title match in Vol 2 and it work for me ever since. So here's my
suggested Deck:

(Tends to win about 1/2 to 2/3 of the time.)


1st: #074 'Gemme Some Chim'
2nd: #081 'Dancing Lion'
3rd: #081 'Dancing Lion'
General: #020 Endrace the Exqusite

Decks reshearched and suggested by Megan:

General: Shino of the Twilight Brigade


Unit 1: No. 060 Ace of Hearts (Cost: 5 Trinity: Shield)
Unit 2: No. 078 Reckless Roar (Cost: 4 Trinity: Snipe)
Unit 3: No. 040 Treasonous Shell (Cost: 5 Trinity: Assault)

General: Zelkova
Unit 1: No. 124, What's Most Important (Cost - 7, Trinity - Shield)
Unit 2: No. 30, The Trinity (Cost - 2, Trinity - Assault)
Unit 3: No. 139, A False Future (Cost - 6, Trinity - Snipe)

Hope this helps.

DO NOT, AND I MEAN: DO NOT READ, LOOK AT, OR


EVEN SNEEK A PEEK AT THIS SECTION UNLESS YOU
HAVE BEAT VOL 3!!!!
INCLUDING THE HIDDEN QUEST!

This section is a mine field for spoilers.


So Enter at your own risk. And trust me, you DO
NOT want to read this until you beat Vol. 3
=============================================
=============================================

This section is something I like to refer to as:

"The Almighty Section of Knowledge"

TA-DAAAAA!!!!!!

In here you will find the answers to every question, ever secret. All of it.
Or at least everything I can think of. I'm going to cover all the main
characters and their history and connections to the other chacters and all
that good stuff. Not to mention a full explanation of the Avatars and AIDA
and what not. In other words this section will give you information that
builds on what I've already talked about in the guides. Some of the info
has already been given, but some of it you will only find in this section.

-People who havn't played the Original series and dont have the Terminal
Disk;
OR
haven't watch //ROOTS or //SIGN, will find this section very helpful as I
give info on all those topics. (Note that alot of this information is solid
but that I've had to add in bits and peices of theory to help along this
section)

---------------
--------- 1)Characters ---------
---------------

------ a)Epitaph Users

--The Terror of Death, Haseo

Haseo is a 17 year old male living in Japan. He started playing


"The World" because his friend told him it was fun. This friend no longer
plays the game. It's believed that this friend played the original version
of the game (or the 'R1' version.) Some believe Sora (from .hack//SIGN) is
connected to this. And no, not Sora from Kingdom Hearts.

There are two theories about Sora:


1)Sora grew older after the events in
the original games ,and he doesn't remember anything about what happened.
His parents had cancalled his account for 'The World' since he was in a coma.
Anyway, after a few years, a friend of his told him about the new of version
of the game and so he makes a new character called Haseo.
So theroy one is: Sora=Haseo.
2)The second theory is that the real life player of Sora was the one who told
Haseo about the game. So theory two is: Sora= Haseo's friend in real life.

Both Theories could be true but neither have been proven.

Anyway, More on Sora in a second.

Haseo is a typical teenager and as such tends to a bit immature at times.


When he started playing you would consider him a normal guy, until of course
Shino goes into a coma and he goes nuts and becomes a jerk. However through
the games Haseo begins to grow and he becomes less of a jerk until he
finially
becomes the amazing hero of the game series. And personally I don't think
I've
even seen the main character of a game developed so much. It was a truly
amazing story.
--The Mirage of Deceit, Atoli

Not alot is known about Atoli in real life. However, she shows
alot of personal growth in the series starting out as a shy timid girl
who was completely dependent on Sakaki, who grew into a strong young woman
who captures the heart of Haseo. I enjoyed watching her character grow
and change through out the series.

--The Propagation, Kuhn

He is a vertan player returning from the original series. Back in the days
of R1, he was known as Sieg. He was the thrid best player of "the World" and
considered the Rival of Bulmung and Orca (the first and second best players).
He is considered a side character yet still played a some what important role
in the series. He was one of the first Coma victims in the original series
and was the real life Boy friend of Mai Minase.
(main character from bonus disks //Liminality and not to be confused with Mia
who was an AI cat character)

Kuhn was once the Co-guild leader of Kestral. He left and became the founder
of
Canard where he met Silabus and Gaspard. However after comming in contact
with
AIDA, which resulted in his avatar awakening, he left Canard as to not
involve
Silabus and Gaspard. He then joined G.U. as one of the first Avatar Users.

--The Prophet, Yata

Yata, like Kuhn, is a vetran hailing from the R1 days of the game. He however
played a far more active role in the original game.

Yata was known as Wise Man back then: A information broker and a hacker.
He had close ties to Helba and Net Slum.

When Kite (The main hero of the old games) first met Wise Man, he was
searching
for information on the "Epitaph of Twilight". Wise Man (aka Yata) presented
Kite with a deal. If Kite would obtain an item for him, Wise Man would give
Kite all the information on the "Epitaph of Twilight" that he had.

Kite met the terms of the deal,this suprised Wise Man seeing as the item was
in a Prtected Area (AKA areas only Kite could hack into).

This set in motion the contection Kite had to Wise Man. Once Kite had
explained
everything to Wise Man, he knew at once what must be done. And So Kite,
Wise Man, and Helba began to work together to find a solution to what was
happening around them.

In summary of Yata's past: He was a powerful ally that helped Kite over come
many chalenges and worked closely with Helba as one of the leaders of the
Operation to counter-attack on the Cursed Wave.

--The Machinator, Sakubo

Not alot is Known about Bo in real life. What is known is that


Bo is a small boy who gets picked on alot. For this reason he started playing
the game, Gorre attached itself to Bo's character because he had the right
mental requirments for the Epitaph. It is believed that because of this
Saku was born inside the game as Bo's alter ego (being that the Machinator
is a twin)
Anyway, Bo grows attached to Haseo and looks up to him as a big
brother.

--The Temptress, Endrance

Ok. First. Endrance was known by the name of Elk in the original games:
Infection-Quaratine. In those games you play as the main character Kite.
Kite meets Elk and a mysterious Cat like character in an ally way in
Mac Anu (back during the R1 days). This was the year 2010 during the
begining of the second network crisis (Sometimes called Pluto again
or the Morgana Incident.) ANYWAy. Mia was an illegally modified Character
who looked like a cat and helped Kite gain knowledge of the extent of his
Powers: Data Drain and Gate Hacking.

Anyway, Elk and Mia were good friends and always seemed
to be together. Elk was only in 7th grade at the time. He started playing
'The World" R1 to make new friends since he didnt have alot in real life.

Ok, so as the story progressed Things were all good until the
Part 3 //Outbreak. At which point Mia starts acting really weird. She
starts losing parts of her memory and acts all depressed.
That goes on until the final game of the original series Part 4 //Quaratine.
Near the beggining of that game Kite finds Mia and Elk in a Dungeon. Mia
admits
that she has no memory except of when she plays 'The World". At that moment
Kite shows up and she starts freaking out. She starts yelling at a voice in
her
head saying to it, "No! I want to remain as myself." At this point she
transforms Avatar style into none other then Macha, the 6th Phase.
Elk is warped away from the area and Kite is forced to battle Macha. He
Data-Drains her. As the Avatar starts comming apart Mia is released. Kite
catchs her and he holds her much the same way Haseo did for Alkaid. Elk shows
back up and is only bearly able to say good bye before Mia disapears.

Ok, see Mia was an AI program that was being controled by Macha to some
extent. Yet at the same time Mia was a differnt person/ AI. Just like
Haseo is seperate from Skeith.

*Gasps for Breath then continues*


At the very end of //Quaratine, during the post game dungeon.
(In which you fight through a 15 floor dungeon that is crawling with
Data Bugs) Kite is finially able to bring back Mia. So Elk and Mia
are back together again.

One problem. The Macha Factor, or the Macha Epitaph reattached itself
to Mia after the game. And in order for CC Corp. to make the Epitaph user
for Macha. They were forced to destory the cat character it was
attached to...... aka Mia.
So you see. Mia is gone and AIDA was pretending to be
Mia so that it could control Endrance. There it is. The explanation
of "She".

*GAsPS FOR A REALLY BIG BREATH*

--The Avenger, Pi
Pi is the younger sister of Jun Bansyoya who was originally in charge
of project GU. He was one of the Head programming engineers at CC Corp for
many years. His personal journal (The Terminal Disk that comes with the
Special
Edition of //Rebirth) was passed onto his little sister along with the
Epitaph
Tarvos.
It's because of her older brother that Pi has been working so hard
to find the answers to the mysteries behind the Epitaph and AIDA. She, like
her brother was, is a fulltime employee at CC Corp.
Although her skanky outfit in the game suggest she's a slut, she is
in fact a very serious bussiness woman who works hard and has an oddly
limited
social life due to so much time spent working for CC Corp.

--The Rebirth, Ovan

In the game Ovan was once a legendary Hacker that worked closly with
Yata. Some speculate that Ovan was 'Bith the Black'from the //Liminality
bonus disks. However no facts have been found to support that theory.

Ovan is perhaps the one person in the whole game that the least is known
about in 'real life'. It is known that Ovan has a younger sister that was
probably the first Comatose victum sicne the 2010 Morganna Incident. Since
being infected by AIDA and causing his sister to go into a coma, Ovan has
been working non-stop to find a cure for his sister.
His sister's injury, cause by AIDA, was too serious to be healed
by Data Drain which led Ovan to seek a stronger cure. To do this, he
formed the Twilight Brigade to search out the other 7 Epitaphs, but most
importantly the Terror of Death.
Ovan beleived that if he could activate the Rebirth he would be able
to completly destory AIDA and so heal his sister. He was, infact, able to
do just that after causing Haseo to Awaken and then fight and devour all the
other 7 of the other Epitaphs.
After Ovan helped destory the Anti-Exisitence it is believed that Ovan
died in real life, but that a peice of his mind was sealed in the game much
like Harald's own consiousness.
---- b)'Background' characters

--Harald Hoerwick

Harald was a genius German programmer who meets his unrequited love interest,
Emma Wielant, at a seminar for anthroposophy. Harald immediately falls in
love with her, but Emma is only interested in his programming talents. One
day Emma calls Harald and asks him to meet her. She never makes it, crashing
her car and dying at the age of 28. Harald, unaware of the accident, waits
for her under a gingko tree.

Harald, grief stricken over his love's death, decides to create a tangible
expression of his love for Emma. Harald decided to create a virtual daughter,
named Aura, who would become the ultimate AI by receiving data on humanity
and
it's various emotions. To do this, Harald created Morganna Mode Gone, an
omniscient AI program designed to collect information and then be Data
Drained
by Aura, in order to complete her as the Ultimate AI.

In 2006, Harald brings a game called Fragment to the company CC Corp, the
vessel for Aura's birth disguised as an MMORPG. However, things do not go as
planned. Morganna deletes the maternal part of her program out of fear, and
becomes unstable.

Aura, meanwhile, has been sleeping, waiting for Morganna to wake her up. For
2 years Morganna does not awaken Aura. Realizing that things aren't going
as planned, Harald leaves his physical body behind to talk to Morganna. Here
is a quote by Harald right before his transformation:

AI Harald in .hack//Sign"I must...speak with Morganna.


To go where she is, the living flesh poses a hindrance.
But I must. I must go. For our Aura.
Emma, please give me a little more courage."

Despite his efforts, Harald becomes trapped in the game world by Morganna
and restricted to various niches in The World. It is there he stays,
trapped in a looped dialogue expressing his regrets and the error he made
in creating Morganna. It is this form that BT, Bear, Tsukasa and the rest
of the .hack//Sign party find, (dubbed by them as "The Broken Man.")
However, he is unintelligelible, repeating the same dialogue over and
over again. Tsukasa recognizes "The Girl" he is talking about is Aura,
but is data drained by Morganna before he can tell the rest of the party.
Later, the party finds a more functioning version of Harald, where he warns
the party about Morganna and begs the players to protect Aura, saying
"I will gladly receive any punishment...but Aura does not deserve this."
Morganna, enraged by Harald's meddling, deletes him, which is seemingly
the last of the genius programmer.

However, Harald is not dead. In .hack//Quarantine, Kite and BlackRose of


the .hackers meet Harald, although now he is a giant tablet of stone.
He is, again, largely unintelligible, but he does impart one phrase that
strikes Kite: "It is darkest...before...the Dawn." Kite thinks this means
that Harald meant for Aura to become complete, not for Morganna to win and
for the coma victims to be lost. Harald is then destroyed by Cubia. Whether
this is the last of Harald in The World is unclear; his resilience thus far
hints at another possible return.

An AI found by Taihaku and Haseo in the Forest of Pain event could possibly
be Harald somehow still alive within The World R:2, though the area he was
in was deleted shortly after Haseo met him. Harald later appears after
completing "The Forest of Pain" event in the third G.U. game. The floating
statue he was attached to in SIGN is visible, and his voice can be heard.
After asking a series of questions, he declares that Haseo will not get an
item, but one wish. Ovan then appears, stating that Haseo is the light in
the bleak grayness that surrounds him, he makes a few other comments,
then disapears.

--Emma Wielant

Born in the late 1970's as the daughter of a rich winery owner, Emma Wielant
suffered early loss of her mother as a child and later her father during her
late teens. Denied her inheritance, she enrolled into a nursing school in
order to support herself, only to overwork herself into illness. While
recovering at a resort in southern France, she experienced some sort of
supernatural or spiritual event, causing her to develop an interest in
anthroposophy and the supernatural. It is at this point, Emma starts her
career as a poet and at some point began the epic poem the Epitaph of
Twilight which was only available on her personal website.

One day while attending an anthroposophy seminar, she meets a German


programmer named Harald Hoerwick who instantly falls in love with her.
Alas his love is unrequited, as she is only interested in him professionally
for his skills. They worked together for an unknown length of time, until
one day, she dies in a car crash on her way to meet him. She died with Harald
still hopelessly in love with her and with the Epitaph of Twilight unfinished.
On her headstone, presumably Harald leaves the following epitaph:

"The hand that spun a legend will also become a legend itself."

Not soon after her death, the unfinished Epitaph of Twilight, which recently
become popular in many fan-circles, is removed from her website. Due to the
inevitability of time and the nature of the internet, the original whole
text has been lost, with it being frequently modified or fragmented into
excerpts.

In his grief, Harald decides to create a tangible expression of his love


for Emma, a virtual daughter named Aura. He creates the AI Morganna,
disguised as Fragment, an MMORPG based on Epitaph of Twilight. Presented
to CC Corporation, together they developed it into what will be known as
The World.

And thus, Emma Wielant indeed became the stuff of legend, as players delve
deep into the mysteries surrounding the connection between the Epitaph of
Twilight and the unusual occurrences happening in the The World.

--Aura
She is an advanced AI. Her virtual avatar is the form of a young girl whose
white hair, skin and garments give her a ghostly appearance.

Before the creation of The World a German programmer named Harald Hoerwick
fell in love with Emma Wielant, who wrote an epic poem entitled the Epitaph
of Twilight. After Emma died in a car accident, Harald became distraught
and created Fragment (the prototype to The World) inspired by the Epitaph.
But this program was actually intended to create the ultimate AI, Aura.
Harald worked on Aura as a symbol of his love for Emma as the daughter
that could have been.

At the beginning of .hack//Sign Aura is asleep as her mentor program,


the AI Morganna has yet to gather enough data from the players to awaken
her. But Morganna is intentionally trying to keep Aura asleep since she
realizes that she would lose her purpose when her job—raising Aura—is
completed.

Morganna manages to imprison the consciousness of Tsukasa


(the protagonist in .hack//Sign), trapping him inside The World,
and linking his emotions to Aura's development, while she manipulates
him in order to stop Aura from awakening. At the end of the series,
Tsukasa is able to awaken Aura, allowing himself to log out of the game.
However, Aura's awakening throws Morganna into a rage, who then sends
the Phases to chase Aura down and delete her.

A few months after .hack//Sign, The World has succumbed to some severe
problems, including invincible monsters and glitched graphics. All of
this was a part of Morganna's intention to capture Aura and prevent her
from developing Data Drain, which is necessary for her to become complete.

However, Aura is able to cultivate this power into an installation book,


and attempts to give it to the legendary player Orca. Unfortunately,
Skeith, one of the phases, attacks them, Data Draining Orca and causing
the player in the real world to fall into a coma. His best friend, Kite,
a novice player, is with him at the time, so Aura is forced to give the
Installation Book to him. Upon opening the file, his player code is
rewritten, and he receives the Twilight Bracelet. This allows him to
use Data Drain, the only power capable of defeating the corrupted
monsters as well as the Eight Phases of The Cursed Wave.

When Kite encounters the first Phase, Skeith, it is already in the process
of Data Draining Aura, scattering her data throughout The World in fragments.
Kite defeats Skeith, creating Cubia in return. Fortunately, Aura's
consciousness is still partially functional, so she is able to send
corrupted e-mail messages to him, which are possible to read but with great
difficulty. With the help of other players (who later become known as the
.hackers), Kite is able to face and defeat six more of the eight Phases:
Innis, Magus, Fidchell, Gorre, Macha, and Tarvos. After Aura becomes complete,
there is only Cubia, and the final phase, Corbenik, left to deal with. Aura
tells Kite not to confront Cubia because Cubia is connected to the bracelet.
However, Kite still confronts Cubia and has to destroy his bracelet to
defeat it.

This makes it impossible for the final Phase, Corbenik, to be defeated, and
the over twenty million people in The World could potentially die. Kite
fights the final Phase anyway, but when he is about to deliver the final
blow to it, Aura steps infront of him and is apparently killed.

When this happens, Aura, who has collected data on positive emotions,
merges with Morganna, who has data on negative emotions, completing
Aura's final incarnation as the Ultimate AI. From then on, Aura
becomes an omnipresent yet mostly silent force within The World.

In .hack//Legend of the Twilight, Aura is able to do anything she wants


in the game without fear of administrators or other people who could
delete her. She holds a fake contest and posing as an administrator,
bestows upon Shugo and Rena, chibi versions of the avatars of the
legendary .hackers players Kite and BlackRose. Aura gives Shugo the
Twilight Bracelet, to help him fulfill his dream to become a hero,
which he told her about a few months after SIGN, mistaking her for
another player.

She also has a daughter named Zefie, an AI that was as powerful as


she is, but with an extremely wild and uncontrollable personality,
even going as far as to give players pink afros for the fun of it.
Zefie was created for two reasons: One was to complete Aura by
allowing her to experience child birth, and the other was to help
Shugo with his goal.

At the end of the year 2014, Aura was lost. It is unknown how or why she
vanished, but with her disappearance, CPU processing has increased in
The World. The loss of Aura meant the networks were returning to their
original specs.

The suits of CC Corp began to understand. With no god to run their world,
what
would happen? With The World losing its glory and credibility, there was only
one choice left to the management of CC Corp: the rebirth of Aura. And with
this grand plan, Project GU was born.

--AIDA and Cubia

Found in the .hack games, Cubia represents the 'opposite side' of the
mystical
"Twilight Bracelet", being born when the Bracelet was first created. Cubia
did
however not have a physical form until Kite, the protagonist in the .hack
video
games, data drained the first Phase, Skeith. Skeith's massive amount of data
built up and made a physical form for Cubia. Every time Kite data drained a
Phase, Cubia got stronger.

Aura sends many e-mails to Kite, telling him not to fight Cubia. This is
because if he does kill Cubia, the Bracelet will also be destroyed, taking
away any chance Kite has to defeating the final Phase, and The World will be
destroyed. Despite this, Kite fights anyway but has no luck destroying Cubia
until he understands how the Bracelet and Cubia are linked. Kite tells
BlackRose to attack the Bracelet, destroying it along with Cubia, leaving
them no way to defeat Corbenik, the Eighth and Final Phase.

In G.U. it is revealed that Cubia was created by Harald as the anti-existence


to the Epitaph Users. When Ovan releases Rebirth throughout the Internet, a
new Cubia is born. The new Cubia can be seen in numerous areas of The World,
and exists throughout the rest of the Internet as well. In a final act of
desperation, it is defeated by Haseo with help from Ovan. Cubia in its new
form can spawn an unlimited amount of Gomoras, which spread throughout
The World.

"Now for a Theroy from your friendly .hack guide writer":

Although I can't prove this, I believe that AIDA is the side affect of
Cubia being reborn.
When CC Corp tried to forcefully restore Aura
I believe that the R.A. program and the avatars caused Cubia to be
reborn. However, I think that the R.A program wasn't strong enough
to bring Cubia back fully. Instead AIDA was born as a side affect.
In other words, while Cubia existed in the game it remained dormant
for the mojority of the series while acting through AIDA which was
it's offspring. (Cubia = Source of AIDA)

The proof I have to support this theory:


1)At the end of Vol 1 Haseo, Kuhn, and Pi fell through the floor infront of
the Lockers. While falling they saw a HUGE ball of AIDA. Something MUCH
bigger
then any singel AIDA. I believe that this was Cubia in it's development stage
before it became fully active.

2) Also the fact that Sakaki was searching for "the main body" in vol 1.

3) In vol 3 Taihaku's sword spoke through AIDA. If you look closly you
can tell that the face in AIDA's black spots is Cubia. This suggest that
Cubia was already born but that it was attempting to become fully active
by taking over Taihaku, and other players and also by working through AIDA.

So to summerize: I think that when the avatars were created that they caused
an Anti-Existence to appear. While Cubia remained not fully active but
instead was working through AIDA which was working to resurect the main body
of Cubia.
However, when Ovan activated the Rebirth, the power was enough to
bring
about Cubia's full resurection despite the fact that AIDA was destoryed.
---- c)Other Important Characters

--Kite

At the beginning of the story told in the games, Kite's friend,


Yasuhiko, tells him about the MMORPG, The World, and tells him to
meet online there. Kite does so and meets up with Yasuhiko's
character, Orca. Orca leads Kite to a "newbie" field and teaches
him the basics about playing The World.

While his official canon name is Kite, the player can set it to
what ever they want. If the player loads a clear data from the
games while playing GU, Azure Kite's name will be the same as
the one they set in the games.

After clearing the field, they enter the dungeon, where Orca
teaches Kite about some of the more advanced aspects of the game.
After retrieving the treasure in a dungeon level, they head for
the exit, but they are waylaid by a glitch in the game. The field
they are in becomes corrupted and Aura appears, trying to give
Orca a book. Before having a chance to react, Skeith appears and
Orca tries to fight him off, but gets Data Drained. Skeith turns
on Kite, then a large white staff is speared into the ground, and
the program crashes. Kite passes out and is dropped into Net Slum.
There a woman in white (Helba) wielding the staff watches as the
book falls into Kite's inventory. When he wakes, he finds that Orca
is gone, and that he is left with the book.

Kite logs out and discovers that his friend Yasuhiko has fallen into
a coma. Kite logs back into The World to find answers. He later opens
the book to save his new friend, BlackRose and Balmung from a Data Bug
when it attacked them in the Hulle Granz Cathedral. The book is
actually the Book of Twilight, the cultivation of six months of effort
by Aura to grant the Data Drain ability to someone capable of defeating
Morganna. It rewrites his player data with several powerful programs.
His normal green clothes are changed into reddish-orange, with golden
symbols written on the pants. His character data is also write-protected,
preventing the most important parts of his character data from being
modified or deleted. The most noticeable change to Kite's character is
the addition of The Twilight Bracelet, an invisible item on his arm that
allows him to Data Drain infected monsters to get "Virus Cores". Using
these Virus Cores, he can "Gate Hack" with the bracelet into protected
or sealed areas of the game. Kite also uses this bracelet against the
8 Phases that he encountered in the game.

The bracelet was destroyed by BlackRose when the two of them encountered
Cubia, after discovering that the bracelet and Cubia are two sides of the
same coin, enabling to defeat it. This later caused complications when
Kite and his friends would have to fight the last wave Cobernik without
the power of Data Drain. After they defeat him and Aura is reborn, she
entrusts Kite with the Book of Twilight ~ Daybreak, giving him a new
bracelet. This bracelet appears to have exactly the same functions as
the previous one, but it is a "clean" bracelet that has not yet formed
a shadow. To distinguish it from his old one it is called the Dawn Bracelet.

In real life, Kite's real name is purposely never mentioned due to the
games intent on making Kite the persona or extension of the player.
He admits in one of his e-mails to BlackRose that he is an 8th-grader
during .hack//Infection and it is implied that he and Orca are good
friends. Orca himself is a student at the same school. Everything
else is carefully hidden and he himself is never mentioned outside
of the games so far. All other "incarnations" or look-alikes prove
not to be Kite. The only exceptions are in Unison and his brief cameo
at the end of the Twilight manga.

If the player converts the files from the past .hack games to
.hack//G.U., Haseo gets a message from BlackRose, indicating that
she and Kite finally meet each other offline, and that she has
feelings for him. Also one of the legendary .hackers

--BlackRose

BlackRose is a female Heavy Blade and the first character that Kite
meets in the game The World after Orca . When they meet she yells at
Kite for no particular reason and runs off to come back shortly. She
explains that she wishes to go on an adventure with him. Soon after
they arrive at an area that BlackRose told Kite about called
"Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground" in Delta server. She then explains that
she is new to The World despite the way she acted earlier. They get
attacked by a monster that cannot be defeated by a normal character.

Kite gets his Bracelet after this incident. However with BlackRose following
Kite around, she gets constantly watched by the administrators of The World.

It turns out that "? Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground" was where her younger
brother, Kazu (Fumikazu in real life), was attacked by a Data bug, rendering
him unconscious and in a coma in the real world, similar to Kite's friend
Orca. She and Kite decided to work together, in hopes of finding a way to
cure their loved ones as well as discovering the mystery of The World.

Later on in .hack//Legend of the Twilight, Rena gains a chibi version of


BlackRose's avatar, which is ironic considering Rena and BlackRose knew each
other in real life but never knew of each other's online identity.

In addition to this, she was depicted in .hack//Gift as wielding a tennis


racket, which is appropriate giving her real life alter-ego's penchant for
playing the sport.

The novel series, .hack//Another Birth, is a retelling of the .hack games


from BlackRose's point of view. During the novel, some aspects are changed
around. An example of this is when Kite lectures BlackRose on not staring
in The World since it is rude. This actually happens the other way around
on the video game version.

Akira, the player of BlackRose, is a member of the tennis team at her


high school. She is a first string player. Her father is also a gym teacher.

She also later on admits that she has grown feelings for Kite.

--Sora
In .hack//Sign, Sora acts as one of the antagonists, mainly for Tsukasa's
friends, though he hardly has contact with Tsukasa himself. Sora is an
irritation particularly to Mimiru, who can't stand being near someone she
considers creepy, and BT, who uses Sora for information and vice versa,
though she is usually on the receiving end of his Player Killer activities.
He gets involved early on, searching for fame as the one who discovered the
Key of the Twilight, but also planning to become Tsukasa's friend.

At the end of the series, he betrays Morganna Mode Gone in order to let
Tsukasa, Subaru and Mimiru escape with Aura from her domain. This results
in him being Data Drained by Skeith as the player behind Sora falls
in a coma.

It was revealed in The End of The World (the Terminal Disc included with
.hack//G.U. Volume 1: Rebirth) that Sora played a major part in the
development of Epitaph Users, Player Characters capable of using the
power of the Phases, reconstructed as "Avatars". In .hack//Zero, Sora
acted as a basic form of Epitaph User for Skeith, though the Phase
controlled him rather than vice versa, which allowed Skeith to travel
freely throughout The World.

This, alongside Macha's transformation into Mia, proved that Phase data
could be fused with Player Character data in order to create Epitaph
Users. When it emerged that only certain Players could control these
Avatars, Sora was also the first candidate for this task, but was,
unfortunately, not playing the game at that point in time.

--Alkaid, Former Emperor of the Demon Palace

She is first seen in Icolo's guild. Icolo is a guild in


which only arena emperors may enter. She and Haseo quickly begin
to argue and the argument ended when Alkaid challenged Haseo in
the demon palace, saying he was weak.

Haseo and her do face each other in the arena where Alkaid comes
close to victory. However Haseo then lost control of his avatar,
Skeith attacks Alkaid and she is defeated. Alkaid then leaves,
calling Haseo a cheater.

In Vol 2 Alkaid pursuades Haseo to help her fight Sirius in


the title match so she can talk with him face to face.
Alkaid and Haseo develop a mild romantic relationship,but
soon afterward falls into a coma after being attacked by AIDA.

Close to the end of volume 3, Alkaid awakens from her coma and
helps fight the Cubia gomoras which are appearing in The World.
Offline Alkaid is played by Chika Kuramoto who is a sixteen-year old
Japanese girl. She lives in Sapporo, Hokkaido and is on the
library council for her high school. She values reading and
reads both Chinese classics and Western contemporary fiction.

--Shino

Real name Shino Nanao .


One of the few people close to Ovan who acts as leader of the Twilight
Brigade
whenever Ovan is incapable of doing so. Gentle-mannered but strong-minded,
she holds the Twilight Brigade together during Ovan's frequent absences. She
and Ovan seem to have a more involved relationship than mere guildmates, as
they have both known and seen each other somewhat frequently outside the
game as it was alluded to when Shino asked about Ovan's doctor visits.
During episode 13 Shino is attacked by Tri-Edge and Azure Kite is framed,
resulting in her PC seemingly erased and her real self sent into a coma.
She had been living alone and her landlord discovered her unconscious.
The doctors cannot treat her because they do not know the cause behind
her coma. Those who have suffered fates like hers are referred to as a
Lost One, since it is rumored that once PKed by Tri-Edge a player can
never return to the game. In real life, Shino is 18 and studying medicine.

--Helba

Character from the original series. She provides help and information to
some of the main characters in the storylines, though she usually works
in the background.

Her avatar in the MMORPG The World is a level 99 Wavemaster outfitted in


a white dress with purple triangular designs and what resembles a
matching queen's helm, that hides her eyes behind a red visor trimmed
by gold. She is quite infamous to other players and especially to
system administrators, as she is a professional hacker of extraordinary
skills both in and out of The World. The games classify her as an
"Original Class" because she edited her character to be beyond what a
normal Wavemaster is capable of.

Background
In .hack//Liminality Kyoko Tohno reveals that Helba's name comes from
the long lost net-distributed text, the Epitaph of Twilight. But other
than that, little is truly known about the person behind the avatar,
or what her true motivations are. As a hacker she manages a large
amount of information, and is sometimes willing to share it with others,
making her a valuable asset in the storyline. In .hack//Mutation she gives
Kite a segment of The Epitaph of Twilight and directions to Net Slum.

Since the events of Deadly Flash and Pluto's Kiss, the World Network
Council (WNC) of the United Nations, have passed harsh penalties for
hacking or endangering computer systems. Some crimes were punishable
by death. This makes hacking a serious offence in the .hack storyline,
and Helba must take care in protecting her identity.
---------------
--------- 2)Story Line ---------
---------------

Here is an over view the the series to date.


I'm not going to put down everthing I know or else
I'd be here for a month typing this all out. I'll consentrate
mostly on events directly concerning the GU series. Still Even
so. This section is VERY long. So if you don't enjoy reading.
Then Don't. If you think I missed some really really important,
e-mail me about it and I'll consider adding to this section.

(This section is refering to the game setting)

----The World R1----

- a)Pre-Morganna Incident

-Background

This section refers mainly to the time period before the


Morganna incedent, or in other words the time period before our heros of
the .hack// series needed to become heros. You'll find some intresting
back ground information here about this alternet world in which the
story takes place.

-------------------------------------

Set in the early part of the 21st century, the Internet has spread
across the planet, creating a unified global network which controls
everything
from the stock market to vending machines. At the center of this network is
a popular virtual-reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game
(MMORPG) called The World. Players from all around the world play this game,
which has been made available in over 20 different languages.

However, problems begin to arise when players begin mysteriously falling


into comas while playing the game. Each part of the .hack series gives the
viewer a different piece of the mystery of The World, which when put together
explains what is actually occurring within the game. Each project, Project
.hack and .hack GU, is set in a different part of The World's history.
Project .hack occurs in the original game The World and .hack GU takes
place in its sequel, The World R:2. Both stories are related, and share
common themes and characters.

'The World' is an online game that simulates a Middle Ages culture


setting that provides players with the opertunity to play as
a character and pursue various roles of their choice.

The original game was realsed shortly after the First Network Crisis.
Also called Pluto's Kiss, named for the virus that caused the incident.
(Some 9 year old kid managed to make a super virus and it kinda affected
the whole netwrok through out the world on Christmas eve,
like military and everything. Nukes were literly counting down to go off.)

Anyway, the game was made by one Harald Hoerwick. He was a programming genius.
And more importantly,he was in love. He met one Emma Wielant while studying
in
Japan (he was German). They were both living at the time in a remote village
away from the hussel of modern life. They were both there for different
reasons but both were recovering in (in their own ways) from recent events.
But what is important is that they became friends and he fell for her.
Problem
was she didn't return his love; thinking of him more as a friend and liking
him
for for his talent then as a lover.

At the time of their meeting Emma was working on a poem, Epitaph of Twilight.
A story about how the age of the gods came to an end. But I won't
get into that just yet.

Unfortunitly for them both, Emma died shortly after, leaving the
poem unfinished. However segments of it had been published on a web site. The
problem was the company running the site went out of bussiness so the text
was
scatter and much of it lost. However, a few people still managed to get ahold
of some of the text. Sadly many of these people have added their
own spin to things and so telling the difference between what the original
and
the altered version had became impossible.

Never the less, it is believed Harold recived an unaltered copy before Emma
passed away. Using it as a basis he created a game. A game he called
"Fragment". It was a fusion of the beautiful peom Emma had wrote, and the
programming genius of Harold.

Harold sold the game and the rights to CC Corp. who soon published the game
renaming it "The World".
They did so not knowing what was inside. Within just 2 years the game sold
20 million copies world wide. However, CC Corp. was in for a suprise.

It was known to CC Corp. that deep within the game was an untouchable black
box folder. Known as the Harold system. The system Admins had attempted to
remove the seemingly needless data and when they did so the system crashed.
They were ,of course forced,to restore the folder to it's original state.
As far as anyone can tell Everything was going fine....that is. Until the
the story creator decided to screw with the characters lives.
It began with the anime series that started everything for the .hack series.

- b).Hack//SIGN

SIGN is a anime series that takes place just before the


orignal
games. This entire series has the singel purpose of building up to the games
and laying the foundation for the series. I've only seen bits and peices of
it, namely the first five episodes. At anyrate, the story is very enjoyable
and I wish it didn't cost so much to buy them or I would have done so already.

---------------------------

Here's an overview of what happened.

.hack//Sign follows the story about Tsukasa being mind-trapped


into the game. Despite being a "fantasy quest type adventure", it
does not rely on action sequences. Instead, the show is
driven by mystery, slowly revealing its secrets to the viewer while
paying much attention to the individual characters. Questions
like what happened to Tsukasa in the real world, who he really is
and why he is unable to log out are driving points of the story.

Soon after the beginning of the series Tsukasa is led to a hidden area.
There he meets Morganna, depicted as a voice without physical appearance,
and Aura, who appears as a young girl clad entirely in white, floating
asleep above a bed. The storyline introduces Morganna as an ally, but her
real intentions are unknown at this point.

People interaction is portrayed mostly in the form of dialogue: the image


of characters sitting along and talking is a persistent one. As the story
progresses many characters are introduced, some who want to help, some
who have ulterior motives. Then more questions arise as to "what is
happening in the game itself, who are these various characters, what
are their true goals and what will happen to Tsukasa". All the
while he is seen struggling with his increasingly dire situation as
well as his own social and emotional shortcomings. Tsukasa isolates
himself, but eventually he begins to get closer to other players, and
builds strong relationships with some of them. The most important is
that which is born between him and Subaru, a kind and thoughtful female
Heavy Axeman.

In the meantime, the anime follows the quest for the Key of the Twilight
a legendary item rumored to have the ability to bypass the system in
The World. Some characters want the Key to gain the power this supposedly
offers. Others believe the item will provide Tsukasa with a way to log out.
Despite the reasons for seeking it, everyone agrees that it is related to
Tsukasa in some way, as he is also a factor bypassing the system in the
game. His body being in a coma in the real world adds a sense of urgency
to the quest.

Near the end of the series Tsukasa's real-life identity takes a more central
place in the storyline, particularly in relation to his growing bond with
Subaru. The series shows his fear and insecurity as he confesses to her that
he is probably a girl in the real world. It is also at this point
when Tsukasa is told Morganna's plan by a highly skilled hacker called
Helba. Morganna conceived the plan to link Aura to a character who could
corrupt her with negative emotional data, placing her in a state where
she would never awaken. The chosen character was Tsukasa, as his mind
was filled with distressful memories of his real life. Helba also suggests
that when Aura is able to awaken, "the Key of the Twilight will take form".

The story reaches its climax when Tsukasa confronts Morganna. Then the viewer
sees him declaring that he is no longer afraid of her or of reality, and will
log out because there is someone he wants to see. This statement triggers
Aura's awakening, allowing Tsukasa to log out. The last scenes feature an
emotional encounter between Tsukasa's real-life self, finally shown to be a
girl, and the real-life player behind Subaru.

- c)Time of Pluto Again

This time period of the series is marked by the development


of the crisis known as Pluto Again. For many of us fans, everything started
here. It started with us putting in a game and stepping into the story as
Kite. The entire //SIGN series was done completely for no other reason then
to build up to this: The original game series.

-Infection-Quartine (Classic\Original Games)

A few months after //Sign ends the Hero of the original series steps into
the game.

- d)//Infection

Set after the events in the anime .hack//Sign, the story begins as players
take on the role of Kite, who joins his real life friend, Yasuhiko, in the
popular MMORPG The World. Yasuhiko is better known as Orca, a player of
legendary status in The World, and rightly earned. From the message boards
within the game, Kite learns that Orca has helped many beginner players set
out, just as he does Kite. However, what starts off as a simple crash course
in the game's mechanics turns horribly wrong.

Kite and Orca encounter two strange creatures: Aura, who appears as the
floating ghost of a young girl, and the monsterous humanoid figure known as
Skeith, who is chasing after Aura. Orca soon gives chase after the pair but
ends up over his head as he battles Skeith. The battle ends with Skeith using
a strange ability on the legendary player. When Skeith turns his attention to
Kite, the legendary hacker Helba intervenes, and things begin happening very
quickly and the game's server crashes.

Kite soon discovers that Yasuhiko, Orca's real life persona, lies comatose.
To make matters worse, Yasuhiko is not the only player of The World in this
condition. As a result of his encounter with Aura, Kite discovers that he
now the wields the Twilight Bracelet and is host to many strange abilities
including Gate Hacking (which allows Kite to enter previously restricted
fields within the game) and Data Drain (an attack that alters the corrupted
data in certain enemies, usually resulting in them becoming significantly
weaker). However, Data Drain is the very attack that Skeith used to put
Yasuhiko into a coma. Though Kite intends to use these abilities to find
the cause of the comas and save the victims, he finds himself the enemy
of CC Corp. (the game's administrators), as well as other players, for
engaging in what are illegal activities.

He quickly teams up with Black Rose, a young girl whose brother, Kazu,
has suffered the same fate as Yasuhiko. The two set off on a quest to
get to the bottom of what is really happening (which the game's
administrators may or may not be hiding) and find themselves not only
opposed by Balmung (Orca's in-game partner), but also mired in a
recreation of the epic poem known as the Epitaph of Twilight.

Much of //Infection is Kite coming into the full possesion of his powers
and his continued search for clues to what is happening around him. The
volume ends with Kite finially catching up with Aura in time to see her
Data Drain by Skeith; which splits her data into three segments that a
scatterd across the game. After a short stand off the battle's on and Kite
barely defeats Skeith. The defeat of Skeith results in a massive release
of data that gives birth to none other then Cubia.

- e)//Mutation

The second game of the original seires starts off right after the defeat of
Skeith. This volume portrays Kite as he and BlackRose continue to search for
clues. In the process they are confronted by the system admins who view their
actions as dangerous. With the intervention of Helba Kite ends up working
with
the system admins for a time in order to try and collect more information.
During this time Kite discovers a second enemy that is simular to Skieth.
Upon defeating Innis Kite recives a segment of Aura.

At this point it is also revealed that the actions of Kite and his friends
are having an impact on the real world causing problems with the network
which results in many accidents and problems.

Soon afterward Kite recives an e-mail from Aura to meet her in an area.
Kite is able to return a segment of the data to her before he is confronted
by Cubia. A battle erupts that ends with Kite barely being able to fend off
Cubia.
The game continues and reaches a climax when Kite comes into possesion of
a segment from the epitaph of twilight and discovers the existence of 8
phases of the cursed wave. (Kite gets this key peice of information from
none other then Wiseman an information broker and a fellow hacker who works
with Helba. This character is none other then Yata's younger self.)
The volume ends with Kite traveling to the "Net Slum" to meet with Helba.
Kite is betrayed by Bulmung to the System admins who intend to delete Kite
and his friends. However the admins are stopped with the arrival of the
third phase and a battle between Kite and the 3rd phase ensues.
Despite the victory the battle results in the game servers and towns
being badly damaged.

- f)//Outbreak

The third game is the low point for Kite. The game's main theme is Kite
discovering for himself what he is doing is right or not. However with some
help from BlackRose, he resolves to continue.

With the help of Hebla, Kite is able to track down and destroy the 4th phase
and recives a segment of Aura.

Kite soon after saves Bulmung from a Data Bug (corupted monster) ,despite the
fact that Bulmung had betrayed Kite. This act earns Bulmung's respect and
he joins Kite to have a better chance of bringing back Orca.

Again Aura contacts Kite and with the help of Bulmung and BlackRose, Kite is
able to return another segment of Aura's data to her and drive off Cubia.

Later in the game Kite is able to forge an alliance between Helba, the ruler
of netslum, and Lios, the system admin. This alliance works together to
confront and defeat the 5th phase.

- g)//Quaratine

The main flow of the game has Kite and the newly formed alliance moving
toward their goal of finishing off the remaining phases in an attempt to
free the comatose victims and end the real world problems that continue to
pop up everywhere. However, even with the newly formed alliance of Lios and
Helba hope is still slim. The higher ups in CC Corp are seriously considering
destorying the game servers to cover up for the fact that their game is
responsible for so many problems in the real world. Destorying the game
servers would spell doom for the comatose players because their minds
remain traped in the game.

Kite has to make tough choices. He is forced to sacrifice one of his


friends who turns out to be the vessel of Macha, the 6th phase.
However, he is able to gain the final segment of Aura and return it
to her.
Putting aside his personal feelings Kite puches ahead and is able to
defeat the 7th phase Tarvos with the help of the alliance
and the other .hackers .

Racing against time and searching for answers Kite seeks out the
creator of the game Harald. Kite finds him at the bottom of a
10 floor dungeon that is infested with Data Bugs. There he
meets Aura who has now been restored to the way she was before
she was Data Drain by Skeith. However, Cubia enters the scene.
Aura tells Kite to flee telling him that the twilight braclet
(kite's powers) and Cubia are oppisite sides of the same coin, and
in order to defeat Cubia the bracelet would be destoryed.

However, Kite is unable to escape Cubia and is forced to enlist the


help of BlackRose to destroy the Braclet and therefore Cubia.

The game finishes in a seemingly hopeless battle where Kite and


the .hackers face off with the 8th and final phase. With out the
bracelet their battle turns into a slaughter. The battle only
ends when Aura sacrfices her self on the tip of Kite's blade to end the
fighting and bring victory for the heros.

-The Network Golden Age-

- h)//Legend of the Twilight -

(Understand that the story line for this anime is simple and was aimed at
a younger crowd around the age of 10-12 year olds)

The anime has many differences from the manga. The story begins in much of
the same way. Rena wins a limited edition character model contest for The
World. She invites her twin brother Shugo to play the character of the
legendary Kite while she plays as the legendary Blackrose.

On their first outing together, the duo meet a gigantic level 48 "Super
Armored Shogun" in a beginners area. Shugo is killed by the monster,
but is revived by a mysterious girl named Aura. As well as reviving Shugo,
Aura gives him a mysterious bracelet and tells him about Data Drain.

Shugo is transported outside to find the monster still rampaging after his
sister. He takes Aura's advice and uses Data Drain and the large monster
is reduced to a very weak beginner’s monster. It is realized that Data Drain
can rewrite data.

Shugo and Rena embark on a quest to unravel the mysterious bracelet's


secrets and locate Aura. Along the way, Rena and Shugo meet new friends
like the peppy Mireille, the fierce Ouka, the quiet Hotaru, and the veteran
player Sanjuro. Together, the friends play together in The World, but the
fun quickly ends when Rena is killed by a monster and goes into a coma.

Shugo and friends frantically search for a solution, whilst a group of


four children are planning something terrible on the outside of the world.

To make matters worse, the Cobalt Knight brigade, a debugging team for
CC Corp, are determined to capture Shugo for he is using an illegal item,
Aura's bracelet. Not only that, but an administrator that had been helping
look for Rena, Balmung, loses his position as administrator and makes things
difficult to continue the search.

Then Shugo and company finally reach a mysterious place where Rena might be,
but are met by a mysterious AI who systematically annihilates the Cobalt
Knight brigade, save for its leader Kamui.

Using the bracelet and a little help from an inside ally, the group
finally locates the source of the problem and proceed to stop it. They
transport themselves to a root town that is not open to others and are
confronted by the AI along with an undefeatable monster. To make the
situation even more dire, the monster has Rena trapped inside it and
has implanted a virus that will destroy all that Rena has connections
to. Shugo manages to data drain the monster, but The World will be
destroyed. Awaiting the destruction, the group speculates the reappearance
of Kite's and Blackrose's characters. They realize there must have been a
reason why both characters were brought back instead of just one. Rena and
Shugo then activate Blackrose's and Kite's joint power and save The World.

- i)G.U Time period -

The begining of the GU time period is marked by the journal of


Jun Boytoya: aka the Terminal Disk. This nifty little thing explains in
detail
what happened after the original games ended what why thing turned out the
way
the way they did: How Avatars came to be, What happened to "The World R1",
and
why Cubia/AIDA were born.

It's best to start off with the Terminal Disk and its contents.

-----------------------------------------------------
Report 5 - Disappearance of Aura - Guardian Ubiquitos
The four-year period between 2011 and 2014 were golden years
for "The World." It was no accident that this coincided perfectly
with the presence of Aura. After all, "The World" was an online
game managed by the ultimate A.I. Even in CC Corp. this was
known only to a limited number of people.

From the moment it began, no one fully understood Aura, the


omnipresent A.I. system that controlled "The World." The
average player would have no way at all to even learn of
her existence. Aura had inherited the intelligence of the
genius Harald Hoerwick, and the beauty of a poet Emma
Wielant. She was the ultimate administrator of "The World"
and a gifted debugger. And yes, she could behave like a
temperamental creator. As the lone deity in "The World"
Aura would sometimes act impulsively, like a fickle goddess.

For example it was Aura's idea, not CC Corporation's to


create a replica of the Kite character and use it in a
promotional giveaway campaign. She even put the hero of
the bracelet in a demo version and returned him to gameplay.

As to when Aura disappeared, that can only be determined


by examining conditions in "The World." Our best
estimate is in late 2014. It was seven years after the
day of Pluto's Kiss that abnormalities first began to
be clearly detected in "The World." Time lags, and frequent
crashed servers began to seriously interfere with the game.

These problems didn't just cause trouble for "The World,"


they effected the entire network. Load processing increased,
and real world trouble quickly magnified. The Network
Marketing Research Organization N.A.B. (Network Analysis
Bureau) along with other institutions investigated the cause.
And although they suspected it was due to a new type of virus,
one similar to the one that had caused the original network
crisis, they were unable to find evidence of sabotage. That
was no surprise. The real reason was simply that Aura had
vanished. This alone caused the network to revert to its
original specs. It took until early 2015 before executives
at CC Corp. would come to that realization.

And that's how it began. The network albeit quietly, began


to fall into decay, and "The World" faced its own dark age.
As it became less and less reliable "The World" soon lost
its popular appeal. Aura the Guardian Ubiquitos...

Only a handful of people understood the relation between the


loss of Aura and the network chaos. The top executives at
CC Corp. were forced to make a decision. Their plan was to
resurrect Aura and bring her back to the network again. But
the father of Aura, Harald Hoerwick was dead. Therefore the
R.A. Plan, the plan for bringing her back required a different
organization. This is how Project G.U. was established.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Report 6 - Salvage Plan: Gateway to Utopia
The loss of the ultimate A.I. Aura, was the second major
network crisis. In other words the birth of Aura paved the
way for "The World's" second paradigm shift. "The World's"
golden age lasted from 2011 until 2014. When Aura's disappearance
was confirmed "The World's" golden age had truly become a
dark age.

A variety of problems such as faulty servers began to spread


everywhere. Not just "The World" but the entire internet.
However, once CC executives learned that the cause of these
problems was due to the loss of Aura. They began to formulate
a plan to counteract against the silent danger. They would
forcibly restore Aura back to her original state. They
intended to seize control over the next network society by
creating and managing this ultimate A.I. themselves. It was
a return to the plan both CC Corp. and Altimit Corp. had
hatched during the first network crisis, that was back in
2005, when they were still using the Altimit operating system.
Altimit had managed the network's hegemony.

This is how Project G.U. officially began. It was all thanks


to CC Corp.'s sponsorship. The budget was limitless, a special
team was put together, first-class engineers, A.I. programmers,
and other technical experts. I myself was also a major part of
this project. I was brought on to represent CC Corporation and
insure their goals were met. The project's overall objective
was to restore Aura, and thus G.U.'s R.A. plan began.

The R.A. plan, we were to salvage the eight broken pieces of


the Morganna factor, which had sunk into a sea of data after
being destroyed by Kite's Bracelet during the 2010 Morganna
Incident. It was thought that by sealing each piece of
Morganna Factor separately into character data, players could
then take control of them one at a time. There were precedents
for this kind of strategy. The mind of a player known as
Sora had attached itself to Skeith. And there was Macha, whose
mind was thought to have adhered itself to the wandering
cat-like A.I. Mia.

Of the people involved in Project G.U., there was one man


on the team who was absolutely invaluable, Jyotaro Amagi.
An elite mind who came to CC Corp. at age 19 after working
intelligence for the Ministry of Economy. For his age, he
was truly a genius. Although Mr. Amagi and I were far from
what you would consider friends our complementary knowledge
and combined abilities helped greatly to advance the project
forward. We were the two essential wheels that kept G.U.
rolling. Our age difference didn't matter, yet we would
frequently clash in fevered arguments. For some reason a
strange mixture of feelings: respect, envy, and scorn had
begun to grow in my heart.

Even so Amagi and myself scoured the network, finally managing


to find a single piece of the Morganna Factor. It was Magus,
the factor for propagation. After a great deal of trial and
error the team finally succeeded in attaching the Morganna
Factor to a character in "The World." This completed prototype
became known as an Epitaph User, so named for Morganna's
eight Phases of the Epitaph. The one we completed first was
called the Epitaph User of Propagation. However no one
involved in the project, not even myself or Amagai could use
one of these characters. When some one would try to log into
"The World" using one of these characters an unbearable vertigo,
nausea, and headache would paralyze him. The Morganna Factor,
just as it had in the cases of Skeith and Sora, showed a high
affinity for human minds. But perhaps that was only towards the
chosen ones.

Amagi had a theory that the Morganna Factor could choose the
player it would attach too, and though conditions were unclear
the Morganna Factor would approve only a certain type of human.
If that were indeed the case, locating those eight chosen ones
became an important issue for Project G.U. At the advice of
Amagi, a search team was created within the security admin
department. They would filter players in "The World" to find
the chosen ones. Unfortunately we learned that Sora's real
life player had already canceled his account with "The World."

-----------------------------------------------------------
Mia is reborn in "The World" following her defeat at the hands
of Kite.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Amagi and I continued our search for the other seven pieces
of the Morganna Factor. Skeith, Innis, Fidhell, Gorre, Macha,
Tarvos, and Corbenik. Eventually we discovered that the Macha
piece had once again attached itself to the cat character
Mia. We were able to extract it by destroying the cat character.

We continued to produce Epitaph Users one at a time. And


eventually we had completed all eight of them. All we had
to do next was allow the chosen ones to control these
epitaph users. Then have them use the power of Morganna's
eight Phases to activate the program Amagi had created.
This R.A. program would restore Aura.

Gateway to Utopia. We at Project G.U. had come so close, we


had almost arrived at our utopia.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Interim Report 7 - Cubia: the Anti-Existence:
Gathering of the Unwilling

Jyotaro Amagi and I continued looking for the Morganna Factor as


part of CC Corps. Project G.U. After collecting each Epitaph Force:
Skeith, Innis, Magus, Fidhell, Gorre, Macha, Tarvos, and Corbenik,
we managed to complete eight Epitaph Users. All we then had to do
was allow the Chosen Ones to control these Epitaph Users, then have
them activate the R.A. program that Amagi had created in order to
restore Aura to existence.

To put it simply this involved unleashing the immense power of


Morganna eight Phases into the network. However, during preperations
for the final stage I realized that there was something incredibly
dangerous that could occur in rebooting the Morganna Factor. The use
of a power that shouldn't exist, strong enough to revive Aura the
ultimate A.I. doing so could produce giant distortions all over the
internet.

These distortions were basically "Anti-Existences." They had also


occured during the Morganna Incident. Kite's Bracelet, given to him
by Aura unleashed a force, and it was this force that had created
the nightmarish Cubia.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Cubia's birth, encounters with Kite, and eventual destruction.
-----------------------------------------------------------

If the distortion field produced from a single bracelet resulted


in Cubia... there's no telling what the distortion caused from eight
powerful Epitaph Users might do.

The salvaging of the eight pieces of the Morganna Factor would


literally become a Gathering of the Unwilling. Distortions would
appear randomly like unwanted tumors. I reported these findings to
Amagi and urged him to put the R.A. Plan on hold until my concerns
could be resolved. But Amagi refused, saying that the distortion
produced earlier was due to hidden bugs in the Harald System. He
said the R.A. program he had designed would never allow anything
like that to occur, and laughed at my concerns.

With our rivalry and the envy of the genius Harald Hoerwick
consuming him, Amagi began to press ahead with the R.A. Plan
at all costs in order to prove his own abilities.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Report 8 - Jyotaro Amagi: Genetics of the Unknown

I was concerned about the R.A. Plan, so I opposed Amagi's attempts


to experiment with his program. Fearing the situation would worsen
to a point of real danger, I secretely removed one Epitaph User from
"The World" and hid it in my home computer. This was the Epitaph
User integrated with the Morganna Factor of Tarvos the Avenger.
Without all eight characters there was no way the R.A. Program
could be activated.

But Amagi didn't even bat an eye at the expected absence of a key
Epitaph User. It turned out that Amagi had secretly constructed
a dummy Morganna Factor, and had prepared his own original Epitaph
User as a backup. It didn't take him long to deduce that the
missing Epitaph User was my doing.

Amagi went ahead with his plan. He proceeded to gather seven of


the potential Chosen Ones together. Systematically he matched
them up to each Epitaph User. Meanwhile he used his own dummy
Epitaph User to connect to the network and began testing the
R.A. program.

This was the highpoint of Amagi's life. If he succeeded in


reviving the ultimate A.I. his genius would be considered on
par with the great Harald Hoerwick. If he could somehow manage
to control the ultimate A.I., then in the eyes of many he would
even surpass Harald's genius.

He was playing with Genetics of the Unknown. And unfortunately,


I knew it was only to further himself. He wished to combine his
own mind, and fuse it with the ultimate A.I. He wanted to become
a God inside the network using the eight pillars to support him.

As a result Amagi's experiment was anything but perfect. In an


instant the R.A. program crashed. Suddenly over 80% of "The World's"
game data was completely wiped out. The minds of all seven potential
chosen ones were caught up in the Morganna Factor's rampage and they
fell into comas. Sadly, Amagi suffered severe mental damage as well.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Report 9 - Loss of Epitaph Users: Genocide of the Unfaithful

Amagi's experimentation of the R.A. program ended in failure.


I arrived shortly after the R.A. program went beserk and set
about containing the situation. However, I was only able to
recover a single Epitaph User from the devastation. The one
I recovered was the Epitaph User integrated with the Morganna
Factor of Propagation, Magus.

His experiment having failed, a deranged Amagi caused a fire


to break out. The fire spread fast, consuming a third of the
CC Corp. building causing tremendous damage. The media was
given news of only the fire itself, announcing to the public
that several people were injured.

Genocide of the Unfaithful, what was the reason for this


miserable failure? Most likely it was because Amagi did not
approach "The World" with enough respect. It may also be that
the one most cursed by the ghost of Harald Hoerwick was none
other than Amagi himself. Whatever the reason, the R.A. programs
failure and the huge fire that accompanied it caused over 80%
of "The World's" data to be lost. And at the same time Project
G.U.'s research data was also irrepably damaged.

G.U. was suspended and I took responsiblity for the projects


failure by resigning from CC Corporation.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Report 10 - Generation of Unity: Last Day of "The World"

As a result of Jyotaro Amagi's Project G.U. failure and the


huge fire that accompanied it over 80% of "The World's" data
was gone. G.U. was dissolved, and I assumed responsiblity for
its failure by resigning from CC Corp.

In the end I supposed I couldn't win against either Amagi or


Harald Hoerwick. But I didn't lose to them either, the faith of
engineer Jun Bansyoya had not yet been broken. It was soon decided
that "The World" would be shut down temporarily. One can only
theorize at the purpose of CC Corp's executives, but after having
lost over half their data it was assumed that it was a simple
managerial decision.
They reasoned that instead of working towards repairing the old
game's data, it would be a better idea to apply their resources to
a new generation game. A new game project the company had dubbed
"R:2." This was also a way to escape from the ever looming ghost
of the genius Harald Hoerwick. Of course, analysis of the Harald
system had been halted. And the re-examining black box data had
also been implemented into R:2.

Soon the day arrived. The town and area data that they had
managed to save were presented to the public. The first
generation of "The World" faced its final day. I logged in
with my own private character to see.

Mac Anu was serenely quiet. The cityscape that made one think
of Venice was beautiful, and the waterways reflected the evening
sun. Many had gathered underneath the bridge. It reminded me
of a happier time when the voices of hundreds of players echoed
on the streets. Like a midsummer night's dream, the next day
this world would be gone.

With lingering memories and grieving voices. Those who were angry
at CC Corporation completely disregared the presence of System
Administrators on that final day. The characters that they had grown
so attached to would not be carried over to the next version, effictively
ending their lives all at once.

Even so they gathered together in the town. Everyone said goodbye to


their friends. Some vowed to meet again, others decided to move on.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Aura...
-----------------------------------------------------------

Keeping to myself in a desolate alley I couldn't help but wonder.


I wondered where Aura had gone, she was like Amaterasu hiding
in her cave. After losing her, those four golden years had all
of a sudden come crashing down upon us. We humans had lost our
god. We couldn't stop from wailing and weeping. Project G.U.
had been designed to give us a new God, but it had collapsed in
flames.

-----------------------------------------------------------
She integrated into the world.
-----------------------------------------------------------

I don't know exactly when it happened. A young girl bathed in


the sunset whispered the following to me.

-----------------------------------------------------------
You mean Aura?
-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------
Abandoned the individual and became a god. And now abandoned
godhood and distanced from fate, returned to null.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The barefooted girl with saffron colored hair whispered to me.

-----------------------------------------------------------
You know of Aura? So I will return to the wind as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Her last whisper disappeared, as if the wind had blown it away.


And then the girl was gone. It felt like I stood there forever.
I tried to make sense of her words. and then I realized that girl
with her obviously hacked character might well have been a
Wandering A.I. Somehow she gave me the impression of Aura that
I had once known.

"The World" will end, it will end. And yet its core will be
preserved in the next generation. Generation of Unity, it is
what people have always wished for. Was I the only one to think
that this comforting chaos, although ironic, somehow fit perfectly
with "The World?" But now, it is all too late.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Report 11 - Guide to an Uprising: Ovan: Corbenik the Rebirth

"The World R:2" was released to the public on December 24th 2015.
That day, which became known as "Death of a Goddess" must have
been bittersweet even for the players who knew nothing about the
disappearance of Aura. Releasing the new game barely a year after
the unforseeable data loss... CC Corp surprised even me with their
speed. And even though all the graphic data, and the battle engine
were already up and running on release. The message text as well as
the core system must have been hastily thrown together by programmers.

They couldn't have had time to properly debug. As a result R:2 was
plagued by constant bug issues since day one. And the game had to be
repaired and refined through regular maintanence. The majority of the
Epitaph Users had been lost. The only Epitaph User left to CC Corp was
the Propagation, it should have been carefully stored by the security
administrators who took over the now defuct Project G.U. However the
Avenger, the Epitaph User I removed to prevent Amagi's experiment was
still being kept in my computer.

Eventually, CC Corp will become aware of the existence of Tarvos, which


contains a piece of the Morganna Factor and that I have it. I have to
come up with some countermeasures. When the R.A. program failed the
other six pieces of the Morganna Factor, having been seperated from
their Epitaph Users were once again lost in the networks ocean of data.
Project G.U. was gone, Amagi was beyond any hope of recovery, and
with me now gone from CC corp things will be safe. At least as long as
the Chosen Ones don't access The World. If they do, they may unwittingly
draw Epitaphs to themselves.

Then, much like what happened with Sora and Skeith could happen again.
In the end, my goal of preventing the birth of Cubia the Anti-Existence
can be said to have been accomplished. Having known Harald Hoerwick,
Jyotaro Amagi, and "The World" more intimately than any other I had one
final duty. I had to keep the Epitaph User of Tarvos safely hidden away.
I had to prevent those outside CC Corp from learning of the Morganna
Factor. However, things had taken a turn for the worse.

Ovan... he is the Epitaph User of the Rebirth. Ovan has already started
to act. He's assembled a Guild. His members include Sakisaka, B-set,
Godo, and finally Shino. The name of the Guild is "Twilight Brigade."

Does he know about Harald Hoerwick and the Epitaph of Twilight?


Where did he learn about it? Does he also know about Morganna? And
the ultimate A.I. Aura?

I've confirmed that Ovan's left arm contains indechiperable data...


what on earth is it? He has an almost incalcuable amount of data
capicity within him...

Please stop Ovan, I'm begging you! Everything is Ovan's doing!


I repeat, everything is in Ovan's hands! That man will become
the Guide to an Uprising!

12 - Gate of Uroboros: To My Sister

To my Little Sister:

I'm so sorry that my final gift to you ends like this. Right now
it is far too dangerous for me to see you in person. However, I
can think of no one wiser than you to whom I can give this journal.
I want you to use the character left on my computer... you must use
it to access "The World." I'm certain it will help to open up a new
door for your life. The rest, I can only leave up to you.

My wish, is that you will walk this path of fate for the sake of
your beliefs and for justice. You are a Chosen One...

We are siblings with many years between us. I'm sure you don't
remember me as you and I parted ways when you were still just a
small child. But I remember you, the little girl you used to be.
And I know what you've done with your life in the time since.

My only regret is that I was unable to see you again. Please


forgive me for being unable to watch over you. Reiko...
even though our parent's went their seperate ways a long
time ago, you and I are brother and sister. And that will
never change, ever...

You will always be, my darling sister...

The Anime series .hack//ROOTS follows Haseo's adventures when he first
starts playing 'The World' and follows through roughly 8 months before
//Vol. 1: Rebirth. In this time some very important events take place.
Granted I havn't seen any of the series other them the 1st and 6th
episode that come with the games, but I do know a enough to comment on the
highlights of the series. (compliments of dothackers.net forums)

.hack//Roots is the prequel to the .hack//G.U. videogames. It follows


the
story of Haseo, a black 'Adept Rogue' (a class that can use multiple weapons)
and member of the Twilight Brigade guild. In the year 2015, CC Corp. Building
burnt down, and with it, most of its data for The World. By splicing data
from
what would have potentially been another game, CC Corp. created The World R:2
and released it in 2016. The main revisions of this release were that the
game allowed for guilds and PvP (player vs player) play.

Starting eight months before .hack//G.U. and finishing during the events of
the first .hack//G.U. game, Rebirth, Haseo logs into The World R:2 for the
first time and falls victim to the PKers that reside within. He is saved by
Ovan, which prompts him to join the Twilight Brigade.

The Twilight Brigade members are on a mission to find the Key of the Twilight,
however, the TAN guild opposes this because they want Ovan's character data
possibly because of his device in his arm and will stop at nothing to keep
the Twilight Brigade from their goal. But possibly the reason is because
Ovan is after it.

Their current mission is to find the 6 virus cores before TAN does. Haseo
has the green virus core and the purple core, Shino has the red, Sakisaka
the Yellow, Ovan the grey, and Gord has the blue one. There is a Lost Ground
with 5 towers, where the Brigade used the supposedly-unusable virus cores.
When the five are used it transports them to the tower above the 5 small
towers to where they can find the last virus core.

This mission, unfortunately, was just a trap made by the members of TAN in
order to investigate Ovan's strange character data. With Ovan gone, and no
sign of the Key of the Twilight, the Twilight Brigade quickly breaks apart.
B-set and Gord quit the game entirely, and Sakisaka and Tabby quit the
guild, even though Tabby is still hopeful things will pick up. Shino goes
into 'mourning' over Ovan, as it has been hinted that their relationship is
that of more than friends. Haseo stays by her side supporting her. However,
even this is quickly shattered, as Shino is soon after killed within the
game. What's even more alarming is that Haseo can't contact her in real life.

Soon after Haseo begins his pursuit of Tri-edge. A pker who Haseo believes
killed Shino in the game. He believes that if he could become strong enough
he could defeat Tri-edge, he bring back Shino. This pursuit of power leads
him to the Forest of Pain. He suprisingly enough manages to escape the
countless number of monsters and comes face to face with Harald, the creator
of the game, who grants Haseo large amounts of power. Haseo then goes on a
PKK rampage in an attempt to learn where Tri-Edge can be found.

The series ends with Haseo's dual with Tri-edge.


---------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, now you understand everything that has happened up until the begining
of //Rebirth. And I'd like to think I've done a decently good job explaining
everything throughout my guides. So now that you know all of the back ground
info. I have a suggestion to make. Re-read this re-cap on the series to this
point, THEN: go play the whole GU series over again and enjoy them completely
now that you know what's going on. =)

PS: .Hack// GU Trilogy a full lenght movie is in the works right now. Head to
www.dothackers.net for more info.

Huge amount of credit goes out to all who contributed to the articles

half of it.

Also credits to CRtwenty for his guide/info on the terminal disk.

For the people at dothackers.net as I learned tons from them about the
series.

Anyway hope you found this section intresting and helpfull in understanding
the series as a whole.

(Like I said above, not all of this is proven. If you don't agree with what
I've wrote here, then thats fine. Just take what I've said with a grain

Also, feel free to look stuff up on Wikipedia as I've taken information
directly from there and all I've done is simply reorganized it while adding
a bit of my own flavor.

---------------- Frequently Asked Questions ---------------
-----------------------------

Being that this IS a FAQS/ Walktrough guide I thought that after getting
several e-mails I would put together a little Q and A section to put into
my guides from the series. In here you'll find all the questions that have
come up from the e-mails I've gotten from people. I really enjoy doing
what I can to give you good info. and I love hearing from everyone.
(Even if it's just to tell me what you thought of the guide/guides)
So I hope this might give you all some good advice.

-- 1)Technical/Game Play/Story Line Questions
--------------------------------------------

-----
--- 1)Questions for All 3 Games :
-----

-1) Can't stop Sp Draining


Q: My SP goes down by one like every second and I can't make it stop! It only
does it when I'm in a field or dungeon, not a town. Can you tell me what I'm
supposed to do??

A:If it keeps happening over and over again no matter what; my guess is that
you should check your armor Materials. You know, the items you use to
customize armor? Check it. My guess is that you have an item called
Spirt Tree Bud.
That item (Armor Material) has an intresting affect: It will decrease
your skill points over time but the benifiet is that it will increase
Haseo's stats as the Sp is consumed.

-2) How to get Keywords


Q:I want to ask you how to get (Blank) area words?

A: There are only three ways to get keywords. Some are


more common then others. 1-you will get keywords from Story line events.
2- you can get keywords from topics on the Forums and Official Forums, you
can only get certian ones this way. 3- lastly you will get key words as
rewards for getting B, A,or S rankings when leaving an area. These are
random and tend to be harder to get. Just try to do well everytime you
go to an area and you should be albe to earn alot of them.

-3) Job Extensions


Q: When can Haseo start using other weapons besides dual swords? And
How do I unlock them?

A: Ok. A Common Question for rookies to the series.


These are the weapons Haseo can use:
-Twin Swords- Default weapon.
-Broad Sword- Job Extension right before 1st round of the Demon Palace
tounament.
-Scythe- Job Extension near the begining of Vol 2.
-Dual Guns- Ahhhhh not aloud to say how he got it, but
basicly it's near the middle/end of Vol 3.

-4) Books of 1000


Q:Can I complete the missing things from the Book of 1000 from vol 1 in vol
2?

A: Yes, to some extent. See 99% of the books can be done in any of the
volumes. However, Quest Champaigns is where the problem is. You get
special rewards for doing the Champaigns: Special Armor, Accessories, and
once
in awhile Weapoms. The problem is that ALL Champaigns from the quests in vol
1
end(or become unavaible) at the begining of vol 2. And ALL Champaigns from
Vol2
end at the Begining of Vol 3. So you lose the chance to get those items. The
best thing to do is just max the limit on the book for item collection before
you play the next volume. The only other thing I can think of is that you
should complete the Hidden quests in each game and get the doppleganger
weapons in vol 2.

------
--- 2)Questions for Vol 1 :
------

-1) Bounty Hunter/Ripper's Blades


Q:How do you get the Ripper blades?

A: First off the bounty hunter quest becomes avalible as the story progresses.
It's called "Hunter's Test". Once you clear this quest you can't start the
Champaign. You need to log-out and then log back in before you can find the
NPC in the back ally of Mac Anu in the mercenary district. For more info. see
the Quest section of my guide for Vol 1.

-----
--- 3)Questions for Vol 2 :
-----

-1) Doppleganger's weapons


Q:I had a problem with doppleganger. I was level 100 and had the key item
"own king" from vol. 1 and I was able to defeat him but he just gave me
the two weapons (dual sword and broad) and only one key item.
Could please tell me why I couldn't get the scythe and the other key item?

A: It's really quit simple. The answer is: Go beat him again.
Yes that is right. You need to defeat him twice (2 times)
in order to get all three weapons and the both key items.

-2) Crimson VS
Q:I was wondering if you could tell me how to actvate crimson vs.?

A: Simple. It becomes avalible near the begining of Vol. 2. Just progress the
story line.

-3) Divine Awakening


Q:Does affection hav something to do with the Divine Awakewnig? how's it
work?

A: Yes, it does affect it: When you use Divine Awakening the little marker
starts to scroll across the bottom of the screne. Obviously if you get
it closer to the middle you'll do more damage. There are 3 'Perfect" marks
in the middle of the bar. By Increasing your party member's affection, those
three 'perfect' marks become wider and therefore easier to hit. Therefore
giving you a better chance to do mroe damage.

-4) Password from Salvador Aihara


Q:When you go to the rumors board and news section you hear some stuff about
Salvador Aihara and that he plays the World. After an annoying chase of
checking the rumor board and logging back in you meet him as his character
Kazubolo “The Last Hope” in Mac Anu’s back ally, where he tells you his
true identity as the famous news reporter, and tells you to keep quiet if
he gives you the Wallpaper and Password: Nurse Carnival. SOOOO…I guess my
question is, what is the purpose of the password: Nurse Carnival? I know its
not area words cause I checked all 3 sections.

A:That topic has been discussed several times on the dothackers.net boards.
See we have the privledge of having a few ppl who visit those Forums who
are from Japan and speak english, they've been able to answer several
questions for us. And as far as any of us can tell the password is useless.
However, I've read in some of the interviews with the game creators that
they are putting bonus material in the GU games just for the North American
versions of the games. So it may or may not have something to do with bonus
stuff in vol. 3. But it doesnt seem too likly. If I hear anything I'll put
it in my guide for vol 3.
For now dont worry about it becuase it appears as if the password is
worthless.

------
--- 4)Questions for vol 3 :
------

1)Final Boss for the Series


Q: Is Ovan the final boss in vol. 3 , if he is not then who?
A: No, Ovan is not the Final Boss for Vol 3. Although I can see where
you might think that. I mean Corbenick was the final boss of the original
series. But No, The final boss for Vol 3 is bigger, badder, and
generally a whole lot worse the Corbenik (Ovan).
Who the last boss is exactly, well lets just say that he was a major
enemy from the original series.

2) Last Hidden Quest


Q: Is there hidden quest in vol. 3 and who is the boss ?

A: Yes there is a Hidden Quest for vol 3. And it's one Haseo has done before.
(aka he did it before the events of //Rebirth, during //ROOTS, Look around on
the rumor's boards and see if you can figure it out)
And, No: There isn't JUST 1 Boss. Instead there are: 17 normal field bosses
that are stronger then normal, 2 semi-hard bosses that mimick the hidden
quests
from the other games, and One Finial show down with a truly rediclous monster.

3)Hardest Avatar Battle


Q: What is the hardest avatar battle and the hardest boss you foughtin
all 3 volumes ?

A: Well, that's a hard question. See the vast majority of the Avatar battles
don't HAVE to be tough. Reason being that you can just go out and level up;
which in turn boosts Skeith's stats hence making the avatar battles easier.
So really all of the avatar battle COULD be tough, but they don't have to be.

But if I had to chose one battle I'd say Azure Flame god. The reason is that
even at the level 50 cap, the Azure Flame god is still a pretty hard battle.
I mean it's fast paced, and it's really hard to avoid all the attacks.
The next worse battle would probably be Corbenik the 2nd As you have to
Data Drain him twice to kill him.
