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. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Melo : Thanks Short version: Like the title sugests, he's just saying thanks for the help.....even tho he's not real. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Anonymous : Reguarding the Sacrament Short version: bascily you dont need to worry about this just yet. I'll be covering the Lost weapons in my guide. So no Worries......yet. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Pi : Emergency Short version: Something's going down, and you need to hop over to Raven's @Home in Mac Anu..... Well Obviosuly you already know about Yata getting the Boot, but you don't know the other half. And no, it's not going to be good news. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -Forums- : Short version: You'll find some Pics in here. ---------------------------------- Log-in. ---------------------------- -------Town: Breg Epona ------- ---------------------------- Warp over to Mac Anu. ---------------------------- -------Town: Mac Anu ------- ---------------------------- Head for Raven's @Home. Watch everything that happens and we'll deal with it as best we can afterward. -------------------------------- 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- Silabus : Thanks! Short version: Just saying things are looking up..... yeah well, he doesn't know that things are about to get very bad. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- CC Corp. : Notice of Campaign Commencment Short version: The Chaotic Pks Campaign is back-Fun. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -Forums- : Short version: Just some ppl complaining about being owned by the Black List Pks. 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. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Pi : Outer Dungeons Short version: She re-caps on Outer Dungeons and what not. She does mention that right now there's no other threat in the dungeons other then the Outer Bugs. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -Forums- : Short version: Just some Pics, and a topic about a new type of chim. ---------------------------------- Well, lets get a move on and head to Lumni Cloth. ---------------------------- -------Town: Dol Dona ------- ---------------------------- Transfer over. ---------------------------- -------Town: Lumina Cloth ------- --------------------------- You see some scenes. Watch first then read ahead....this is important. -------------------------------- Movie- Holwing sword Short Version/Main points: What has four eyes, is incredably evil. And roars? "Your Mom?" Not exactly. Anyway, that thing that spoke out of Taihaku's sword: Well lets just say it is the true source. The Source of everything. And right now, it's sleeping, waiting to be awakened. It's waiting to be brought back out of the ruins and shadows of the events from seven years ago......... -------------------------------- When everything is over with, save then log-out. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Silabus :Meeting time Short version: You need to drop by Canard's @Home. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Sakaki :Letter of Inventation Short version: OH F#5& monkeys..... Well, boys. That's it: Check Mate. Sakaki's got Haseo cornered. Now Haseo really DOES have to take part in the tournament. Peachy. well there is at least one good thing. If Haseo Survives this, he'll have conquered all three levels of the Arena. The first in the game's History....that is IF he survives. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Sirius : About Taihaku Short version: Says he's counting on you to pull through for Alkaid and Taihaku. ---------------------------------- Log-in. ---------------------------- -------Town: Lumina Cloth ------- ---------------------------- Transfer to the sigma server. ---------------------------- -------Town: Breg Epona ------- ---------------------------- Head for canard, When you get near there, you'll see some scenes with Gaspard and Silabus. After the scenes there's not alot to do but log-out. There's some posts on the Official forums that annouced the rules for the toury. Anyway this is totally not cool. Check your e-mail. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Kuhn : Lets meet up Short version: Take Atoli and Kuhn and go to the lost ground and then to the outer dungeon. You need to have another meeting. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Silabus : About Gaspard Short version: just some stuff, bla bla bla. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -Forums- : Short version: Some ppl complaining about pkers, which is understandable. Then Some stuff about the new CrimsonVS update, which I find unimportant considering that I won, got my rank to #1, AND beat the title match all with the same deck. And then there's some pics in the Apkallu. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -"crimsion VS"- Load up CrimsonVS. Go under Deck and Complie the folowing deck: 1st: #074 'Gemme Some Chim' 2nd: #081 'Dancing Lion' 3rd: #081 'Dancing Lion' General: #020 Endrace the Exqusite 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: 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) Again, Special Thanks to: Megan Wiseman ---------------------------------- Log-in ---------------------------- -------Town: Breg Epona ------- ---------------------------- Transfer to Dol Dona. ---------------------------- -------Town: Dol Dona ------- ---------------------------- Head to the same area as before and the same place as before. Add Kuhn and Atoli to your party then head out. ---------------------------- ------- 4)Hidden,Forbidden, Hades ------- ---------------------------- Area Type: Landscape/Lost Grounds Area Level: None Party: Haseo,Kuhn, Atoli My Level:107 Ok, when you get there Area Hack by using the R1 button. --Outer Dungeon-- Make your way along the path, watch out for Traps when you get to the end watch the scenes and enjoy. 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. ---------------------------- -------Town: Dol Dona ------- ---------------------------- Log-out, see whats new. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- CC Corp : Pk Tournament Short version: You need to head for the arena counter and register for the tounament. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -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. >_< ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -Forums- : Short version: You should now see a topic called "strange place' DONT REPLY TO IT!!!!!! Wait till later. I repeat- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS TOPIC YET! ---------------------------------- Log-in. ---------------------------- -------Town: Dol Dona ------- ---------------------------- Transfer over to the other server. ---------------------------- -------Town: Lumina Cloth ------- ---------------------------- 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. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- CC corp : Notice of Tournament Finals Short version: It's time to face off with the Hetero Trio. The infected players who are being mind controled by Sakaki. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- CC Corp : Notice of Campaign Comencment Short version: Same old Same old. ---------------------------------- Well my friends, time to log-in and get this show on the road. ---------------------------- -------Town: Breg Epona ------- ---------------------------- Add Atoli and Kuhn to your party first. Transfer over to the Arena. ---------------------------- -------Town: Lumina Cloth ------- ---------------------------- Save. Then it's time to face off in the Finals with the infected players. ---------------------------- --------- 13)Tournament:Final Round -------------- ---------------------------- -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 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. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Atoli : It's almost time Short version: She says that she has something to talk to you about, and if you want it'd be nice to do a quest. well, I think you should take her up on the offer,cause this quest is the most intresting one in the whole game....... ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -Forums- : Short version: Just someone offering quest advice that isnt that great seeing as mine is more detailed. =P ---------------------------------- Ok, time to log-in. ---------------------------- -------Town: Lumina Cloth ------- ---------------------------- Transfer over to Breg Epona. ---------------------------- -------Town: Breg Epona ------- ---------------------------- 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 Short version: Yes my firends. It's time to rescue Taihaku from AIDA, time to over throw Sakaki, and it's time for the begining of the end. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- CC Corp : Notic of Champaign Commencment Short version: Same old stuff. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- CC Corp : Notic of Champaign Commencment Short version: Same old stuff. If you want to do the Bike Missions for Vol 3, then talk to Kufa in Dol Dona. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -Forums- : 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 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. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Gaspard : You're the Champion Short version: He says congrats and that Canard will be really really famous now. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Silabus : Congrats on your 3 rank sweep Short version: He says congrats and now things are getting back to normal in the towns and what not. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Matsu : Atta boy! Short version: Says Congrats even tho he lost. 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. ---Haseo: Twin Swords- lvl 113 Spin Nezumi (Fire att, drain 10% HP) Broad Sword- lvl 117 Broad Dowan (Fire att, Drain 10% SP) Scythe- lvl 75 Ticking Death (upgrd lvl 3) Armor- lvl 116 Rough Red Bone (-10% magic, -25% phy) Accessory- Simple Slant hood (-10% all Sp consumption) ---Atoli: Staff- Dancing Haze lvl 75 (upgrd lvl 2) Armor- Sub Habit lvl 118 (-10% magic, -25% phy) Accessory- Simple Slant hood (-10% all Sp consumption) ---Kuhn: Steam Gun- Silent Jade (upgrd lvl 2) Armor- Loose wyvern lvl 118 (-10% magic, -25% phy) Accoessory-Simple Slant hood (-10% all Sp consumption) --(Note: You may need to go to Hidden, Forbidden, Sacrament inorder to upgrade Atoli and Kuhn's Lost weapons. 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: Pi tells you that Yata got his job back. On one condition: Take care of AIDA, and do it fast. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Yata : The future of GU Short version: He tells you that Now all 8 Epitaph users have awakened. It's also likly Ovan will be ready to move soon. Yata is having Pi locate Ovan. For now, he says you should stand by and wait. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Yata : Stories from the past Short version: Ahhh, finially some more confermation on the fact that Yata was once a key member of the .hackers. He says he and Ovan were both fellow hackers. And friends. 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. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -Forums- : Short version: This guy said he saw a little girl. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -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. ---------------------------- ------- 18)Fading, Moonflower, Glory ------- ---------------------------- Area Type: Temple Dungeon Area Level: 115 Party: Haseo,Atoli, Pi My Level: 120 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] | | [4 5] [ ]--[ ]-[1] | [2]-[ ] [6]-[ ] ------------------------------ 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. ---------------------------- -------Town: Breg Epona ------- ---------------------------- when the cut scenes are over, log-out. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Antares : Quest Short version: He says he's got a quest for you to go on. Sounds like a plan to me. Lets go. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Sakubo (Saku) : Re: Bo's big sister Short version: Reply: White Chrysanthemum ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -Forums- : Short version: Some usless quest advice, some comments on the ghost girl rumor, and some pics. ---------------------------------- Right then. Time to do a Bounty Hunter's quest. ---------------------------- -------Town: Breg Epona ------- ---------------------------- Add Atoli and Antares to your party. The head to the Quest shop and accept the Bounty Hunter related quest. ---------------------------( Quest )--------------------------- ----- 1)Lawless Fort -------------------------------------- ------- 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. ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ---------------------------- -------Town: Breg Epona ------- ---------------------------- 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. ------------------------------ --Random)Agonizing, Warth's, Generation------- ------------------------------ Area Type: Field Area Level: 124 Party: Haseo, Atoli, Kuhn My Level: 120 When you get here, switch everyone's Accessory Material to the Sapphire Eye
