secrets in the game. Enter the "Extras" menu. Press Right
and select any of the options except for the DVD credits. Press X or Enter
to view the secrets.
There are secret field names

subtitles.
Hint:
Defeating Goblins:
Have some Wood magic equipped. Start the match, wait until the Goblin runs,
then sits still for a moment. Then, use the magic. Goblins are all weak
against Wood; two shots will kill them.
Hint:
Defeating Gorre (phase 5):
Use Balmung and Blackrose. Make sure they both know Ola Repth and Rip Maen
or better, and Kite Ol Repth or better. Have 30 Antidotes, Restoratives,
Resurects, and Mages Souls; 20 Recovery Drinks and Artisans Souls; and 50
Healing Potions. Note: If you need money, go to dungeon 66 through 68 and
find Rikumarus for Heavy Blade. It is a bad weapon ,but sells for 5,600
each. Each dungeon has about five of them. Gorre has two halves, You only
need to Data Drain one. One half is physical tolerant and the other is magic
tolerant. Go into the party commands screen and set the following: Union
Battle, First Aid, and each one individually set a target. The target should
be the magic tolerant one, so that attacks hurt it. When done, they will
heal and attack. They will attack the same target (magic toleranct). Have
Kite attack. Heal with items. Note: Items are quicker. When you Data Drain
him, he will be stronger, but seldom attacks. It is recommended that you be
at level 66.
In Party (Wiseman and
BlackRose), equip Wiseman with an Owl Crest and have him First Aid. Then,
have BlackRose attack the magical prone one. Kite will use magical spells on
the physical prone one. The Phal Repth will be useful when he uses Flare of
Conspiracy or Data Drain.
Hint:
Defeating Martina R:
You must have a few Beasts Banes, the Moon, Speed Charms and a few Summon
Woods. When you go into battle, use a Speed Charm first to catch up to her,
then use the Moon and put her to sleep. Next, use a Beasts Bane to eliminate
her tolerance to magic. Then, use the Summon Woods to defeat her. Note: You
can get Summon Wood from a Bony Grunty.
Hint:
Easier game:
It is much easier if you have a Wavemaster in your party, whether it is Elk,
Wiseman, or someone else; and also have a heavy blade person. This helps
very much. Also keep your other members leveled up with you because you have
to use them at times.
Buy items such as Speed Scroll,
Warrior Blood, Hermit Blood, etc. to have a better boosted character.
Hint:
Easy level up:
Put in a random keyword until you find a significantly higher level than
yours (use Kite only) and make sure what element it is. Once you reach the
server, use Speed Scrolls, Warrior Bloods, etc., and items such as Burning
Oil, Well Water, or magics to raise element damage. Use a Hermit Blood on
Kite and raise his element damage with an item/magic (whichever element is
needed). Encounter an enemy with the opposite element and you
will do heavy damage. After you level up, bring your other characters to the
stage. You will notice that they also grew in levels by a bit. Use the same
strategy (if needed) and raise their level as well.
In order to level up extremely
fast, go to the dungeon where the Skeiths Staff was seen once you get
Balmung. Also bring Wiseman and equip him with Tsukasas Wand (if you already
completed the memory side quest). Though the combat level is high, the
monsters are actually quite easy as long as you take advantage of elemental
criticals. Every monster kill will give you over 500 experience points.
Hint:
Easy weapon and armor power up:
Use the following trick to get the highest level for your weapons and armor
per server. When at the Choas Gate to choose a place to go, choose "New
Keywords" instead of "Random". Here is a simple formula to
choose your keywords to get a Monsenor (Blue) to upgrade your weapons: Enter
anything for the first two words, then "Aqua Field(Hypha)" for the
last word. To get a Granpa (Red) to upgrade your weapons, enter
"Lonely(Great)" for the first word, anything for the second word,
then "Aqua Field(Hypha)" for the last word. To get a
Monsenor(Blue) to upgrade your armor, enter anything for the first two
words, then "Twin Hills" for the last word. To get a Granpa (Red)
to upgrade your armor, enter "Lonely(Great)" for the first word,
anything for the second word, and "Twin Hills" for the last word.
Hint:
Easy battles:
Keep powering up your Wavemasters so that you can just let them do all the
work. None of them will get hurt. Make sure to have a lot of Artisan's
Souls.
When you are going out to go to
fields, choose Blackrose and Mistral in your party. They are very useful.
Make sure they have strong weapons from .hack Part 1: Infection. Have
Mistral equip Starstrom or Storm whatever. She will have Summonings 1 and 2
of Earth Yarthkins and level 2 Vulcan Fire. Also find an armor for her that
has Ola Repth. It recovers 400 HP with anyone near the target she is
healing. When in battle, have Mistral use the First Aid command and if you
have to everyone First Aid.
Always try to bring Wiseman
with you. If he is offline, bring another Wavemaster with good equipment.
Hint:
Easy Piney Apples: Go to any server's Chosen Hopless Hog's Run. There are two rooms
with Piney Apples, one of which is directly in front of the dungeon. Just go
in and out of the dungeon, collecting Piney Apples. Note: Only eight Piney
Apples are needed to make all of the Gruntys that need them.
Hint:
Exit dungeons quickly: Whenever you get lost in a dungeon, for example one that is
crawling with Data Bugs, and you need the fastest route out; or if you just
want to exit, remember that you can also use the Fairies Orb inside the
dungeon as well as outside.
Hint:
High level servers: Input the first two keywords "Chosen, Hopeless" and any
last keyword to get all high level servers, from levels 68 to 70. The
enemies can get very tough and can overwhelm you on the field. You should go
into the dungeon to fight. Also. if you fight on level 70 Lambda Server, you
can get much easier opponents at very high experience and is an easy level
for the first part of the game.
Hint:
Easy level dungeons: To get easy level dungeons with only two floors, very few
monsters and, at the most eight portals in the dungeon use the keywords
Generous Primitive, then and any other word at the bottom of the list. This
works in the Beta Root Town only. This is an easy way to get dungeons off
your Ryu Books unlock a movie or music.
Hint:
Getting items needed for trade: Use the following trick to get certain items needed for trade
(for example, Cooked Bile). Remember a place that has the item and go there.
Once you get to a place with a lot of jars or eggs/small eggs (usually a
treasure box area), break everything. If you get the desired item, exit then
immediately return. The jars or eggs/small eggs have been restored. Break
everything again. Note: This does not mean you will get the desired item
every time. Keep repeating the process until you have enough of those items
to trade. You will get items that are useful, such as Healing Potions,
Healing Drinks, Antidotes, Resurrects, and Restoratives. This is especially
useful just before Bosses. Also, since it is free you will not want waste
any money.
Hint:
Golden Axe and Silver Axe: Go to the weapons shop in root town Lambda - L, Cultural City
Carmina Gadelica and buy one Spiral Edge for 700 GP. Each time you encounter
a Spring Of Myst, throw in the Spiral Edge. Monsieur will tell you that
"With a weapon of this level, there is nothing I can do". He will
give you back the Spiral Edge plus one Golden Axe and one Silver Axe every
time. Note: This trick works with any "rare" weapon thrown in the
Spring Of Myst.
Hint:
Grunty recipes:
Aqua Grunty: 5 Invincible
Eggs, 5 Cordycepts, 2 La Pumpkins, and 12 Golden Eggs.
Milky Grunty: 4 Cordycepts, 1 Mandragora, 2 Piney Apples, 1 Snaky Cactus,
and 16 Golden Eggs.
Hint:
Grunty food: An easy way to get food for Grunties is to go to the areas where
you played tag with the Goblins. There usually is a lot of food there, and
no monsters.
When you are looking for Grunty
food in the field, call Noble Grunty and press Triangle. He will
automatically track down Grunty food for you. Also, Aqua Grunty and Rocker
Grunty will take you to the dungeon if you are too far away from the
dungeon.
Hint:
Sora's Blades: Once you have received Balmung's member address and gained a few
levels since he first joined you, go back to Lambda server. Go to the same
address where you met him. The name of the address should still be checked
and the area will be at level 70 now. Work all the way back down to the
bottom of the dungeon and go into the area where you met Balmung. You should
see the Skeith's Wand again and this time Sora from .hack//SIGN will
show up and say "Thank you." After this event, you will get the
Sora's Blades. These are one of the most powerful Twin Blades' weapons and
has the Added Effects of Death and No Damage.
Hint:
.hack//SIGN character appearances: The main characters from the anime .hack//SIGN make an appearance
in the game and give you many special items. To see the characters and
receive the items, you must have uploaded your data from .hack//Mutation
and have seen the four hidden intermission sequences at Delta: Hidden,
Forbidden, Holy Ground, in which you saw the .hack//SIGN characters (in .hack//Mutation).
By viewing the four intermission sequences, you will get four items:
M:Wavemaster, M:Twin Blade, M: Long Arm, and M: Heavy Axeman. These are
memory fragments of characters from .hack//SIGN. If you do not have one of
these items, then you will not be able to see all of the characters and
receive all of the items. You can view the characters at the start of .hack//Outbreak
and receive the items at the beginning of the game. The following are the
characters, what you need to see them, where you find them, and what they
give you:

Tsukasa's Wand
Note: Whenever you talk to a
character six times their picture gets unlocked on image 50. If you talk to
everyone six times then the picture will fill up. Also, Tsukasa's Wand is
has very powerful spells and is good to give to a Wavemaster early on.
Secret

Liminality DVD, the anime series .Hack//SIGN, and even in .Hack ads. Here
are those keywords (all of which are found on the Sigma server)

Abrasive, False, Tragedy
Maiden's Plot (trade to Teria for Thunder Dad)
All of the dungeons are
significantly harder than other dungeons. Mainly because you have to fight
data bugs in just about every room. Because you have to data drain so many
you run the risk of losing experience or even a system error. When you
finish one dungeon try to get your infection level back to blue. Also, each
dungeon has another hidden item in it. These items are found in normal
chests on the floor with the Gott's Statue.

Hint:
Recommended party: For a very good party, use Balmung and Wiseman. Let Wiseman have
Tskukasa's Wand (from Tskukasa's Ghost thing) and wear the Owl Crest for
Phal Repth. Balmung should have Bear's Sword (Abrasive False Tragedy) and
all of the "Lady's" Armor. Kite should use either Sora's Blades or
Lady's Killer's as a weapon, and all the "Cat's" Armor. Get these
three people at very high levels for a Strong party. Note: Abrasive False
Tragedy has Data bugs in almost all of the rooms with portals.
When you first see Terejima
Ryoko, she is a low level character. Wait a little longer, and she will get
quite strong.
Hint:
Recommended weapons:
Blademaster: Phoenix's Fire
(Data Drain Lich)
Twin Blade: Two Together (Data Drain Stare)
Wavemaster: Heh Heh Heh (Data Drain Dark Maiden)
Heavy Axemen: Tri-tips (Data Drain SkullDevilgon)
Long Arm: Last Tess (Data Drain Hands of God)
