As you might have guessed from the title, this is a step by step walk through guide to the PS2 game: .Hack//G.U.- Rebirth If you’ve never played the games ( ‘Original series’, or the G.U. series) Then I’d say you’re in for a real treat. If you don’t have all four (Original) games or the three new games of the G.U. series at this point; then I suggest you start looking. The games(at least the old ones) are becoming something of a rarity in some respects and for a gamer with his/her recourses limited to the local GameStop store, you might want to keep your eyes open. However if you have the ability to use E-Bay then I suggest locating them there as I’m sure they’d be more readily available. It took me over a year to track down all four volumes using local stores, and that was in the summer of 05’; I can only imagine how hard they are to get now. Recently in Nov. of 06 .Hack// GU- Rebirth was released and from what I understand it sorta flopped, which is really sad considering it got rated 8-9 out of 10 from most gaming websites and by most fans. So I can't imagine how hard it would be to get ahold of but at least try if you like the series because, especially the new games, are really really fricking sweet. I myself bought the special edition of Rebirth the second day it came out. (It includes the Terminal Disk). The Second Volume of the GU Series,Reminisce, is due to come out May 8,07 and the third game Redemption will be released September 10,07. But moving right along. In order for you to better enjoy the games I’m going to give you a short run down on some background information that you may find helpful if you find yourself enthralled with this series like so many of us fans. The series known as Project .Hack// is a large series including TV series, video games, and novels/ manga. “Project .Hack//" has an extraordinary story line that in my opinion rivals that of the Finial Fantasy franchise. (Not to say anything bad about Final Fantasy: I am a big fan of it myself) Really the Sad difference is that if it doesn't have the name Finial Fantasy stamped on the cover most RPGers wont touch it. The project includes 3 Anime TV series, two sets of video games (for a total of 7 games all together), and many novels, manga, and other media. Going in chronological order (in terms of the story line) we have --Old media .Hack//SIGN (TV series) .Hack//Infection,Mutationm Outbreak,Quarantine (four ‘classic games’) .Hack//Legend of the Twilight (TV) --Then the newest additions to the series are: .Hack//ROOTS (TV) .Hack// G.U. Vol: 1 (Rebirth),2 (Reminisce), and 3 (Redemption) are the new video games dating(2006-2007). Also note that there are bonus disks that come with each of the four original games and one bonus disk (The Terminal Disk) that comes with the special edition of .Hack//G.U.- Vol. 1-Rebirth. I also understand that a bouns will come with the normal copy of Vol. 2-Reminisce ;it is the first episode of .Hack//ROOTS if I'm not mistaken. This is just a short run down of the .hack// media that is available, there are also novels and manga out there but I myself don't have much resources to get my hands on that type of thing; so I have to stick to what I know. However if you’re interested in .Hack// either now or by the time you finish this guide then I strongly suggest to you, that you visit: www.dothackers.net You can find more information on the games and anything concerning the series there. Now I’m sure you’re sick and tired of me babbling on so if that's the case then we can get on to business. This Guide with take you step by step through leveling up, boss fights, story events, back ground information. Be forewarned now, this guide contains huge spoilers BUT, Major events in the guide that contain spoilers will be marked and I will let you know ahead of time when such an event is coming up. In this way I will be able to have you play ahead to a spot I will tell you about before hand; an example of this might be something like: “Play on and watch the scenes, come back to read more when its done.†This keeps the guide from spoiling the story line. Yet allows me to walk you through it. Also note that the .Hack// games feature a convert game data system. Q: What is it and why should I care? A: when you beat of these games you will recive a Data Flag, or Cleared data. What this does is that you can pop in the next game ,and you can load up your saved data from the game before. That means it's possible to continue the story line with a well prepared character in the next volume. You keep all your exp, items, money, equipment,party members... everything. Or if you bought the games out of order: you can start a new game even on game 2 or 3, ect. And apperentally there is enough new game play and story that it feels like a new game rather then the same old game play with the continued story line. Important note: I should forwarned anyone Converting data should know that with the data from The four old games, the terminal disk, and the 3 new games, you almost need a completly seperate ps2 memory card just for.hack//. Well, with that out of the way. Lets get going. ------------------- -------------------------------- II) G.U. series --------------------------- ------------------ .Hack// G.U. --------------------A) Vol. 1- Rebirth -------------------------- --- Game info. Game length: Moderate Average Game time: 30 hours (25-40 hours) Difficulty: Easy-Medium ----Over View--- --Gameplay: 8/10- Nothing's perfect but still ALOT of fun. --Music: 10/10- It fits perfectly, and I mean Perfectly. --Graphics: 9/10 - granted it can't compare to some Final Fantasy CG movies, but it's the next best thing. --Voice Acting: 9.5/10 - only on rare occasions did I think it might have been better,and even then not by much. --Replay Value: 8/10- There's more replay value once you beat the second game, but even so, there is still a good amount to do. --Story Line: 10/10- By itself it can't be compared to the rest of the .hack series as a whole, but still as a seperate game, it has to be the best so far. Overall rating: 9/10 - Best of all the .Hack games to date. Other two games at this time are yet to be released. Still: Great game play, amazing music, great graphics,and a story worthy to be called .Hack// . --- Getting started- Alright. First things first. Those of us who went and bought the Special Edition. As you can see your wonderfull package came with two extra things: A Haseo toy (booo) and a bonus disk titled- Terminal Disk (YAY!!). The later of the two is a disk that has extra information about the story events games and the previous .Hack game series as well as info that concerns the story events of the GU series. Anyway this disk is like the most amazing thing ever. If you've never played the old games this is the perfect thing to bring you up to date on important events. The disk contians 11 reports that makes up a journal made by one of the head engineers at CC corp. He wrote the journal for his little sister as something of a confession of what he did while at CC corp. For those wondering, His sister is a character that you meet in the game, and she also works for CC Corp. You can unlock the reports by converting the saved data flag from the previous games and a cleared data from the three new games. ---For those who don't have the Terminal disk I highly suggest looking at the in-depth guide at (www.gamefaqs.com) written by CRtwety. He did an AMAZING job writing his guide for the Terminal Disk. And I HIGHLY suggest reading it if you don't have the Terminal disk open to you. But be warned now. Some of the later Reports ,the reports that are after report 4, contian HUGE spoilers. So if you read that guide, JUST look at the first 4 reports that concern the events from the original games. Well anyway starting into the game: What you need to realize is that .Hack is a story about an online game, if it's confussing now you'll soon get the hang of the concept. As you put in the disk take time to watch the opening movie play and don't skip it. It's sweet. As the main menu comes up notice that you have the Convert option at the bottom. There's a reason for this. If you've played the above mentioned games can take you're cleared data from those games and get bonus material while playing this game. So if you have said game data from the previous .hack games you can use that convert option now if you wish. -Also, if you play and beat the 2nd game in this series; you can take your game data and covert back to the first game. By doing this the game puts you at level 35 instead of starting a level 1. And you get some better equipment, and some extra cash and items, After that lets get started: Go Ahead, start a new game and watch the opening movie. -------------------------- ---------------------Rebirth of the Story------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------------- Movie- Opening Short Version/Main points: This shows when our main hero of the game, Haseo,as he makes his Charatcer and steps into "The World" for the first time. ---------------------------------- Look, if this is your first time playing you may know about Haseo's kinda gay looking outfit. Well I'll admit that at times it really does look prety lame. BUT, don't worry, 1/3 into the game Haseo gets a Job Extension which changes his appearence and then he looks amazing. So please bear with the game till you see the CG movies comming up later and his Job Extention. And besides after you play the game a bit more you'll start to not notice so much and eventually it won't bother you so bad. ---------------------------- -------Town: Mac Anu ------- ---------------------------- As you log in for the first time you will apear in Mac Anu, the main town for the game. And are met by two....very helpful players. This in the first tutorial for the game: They do a really good job explaining everything and Honestly I don't think I'll need to say much, but I'll comment here and there. After you form a party, go and save your game before you head out. Note)The blue number is the people at the location you're about to warp to. The pink people are the number of people you've already met out of the blue number. ---------------------------- -------1)Courageous,Engaging,Daydream------- ---------------------------- Area Type: Field Area Level: 1 Party:Haseo,Asta,IYOTEN My Level:1 -Just make sure to do as your 'friends' ask you and you'll be fine. It's all prety easy. --Comabt-- As the long time .hack fans will notice Combat is ALOT differnt is someways and yet it still retians it's .Hackish feeling. Read on for detials. -Combos-Rapidly pressing X will result in Haseo preforming a basic combo attack. At the end of the combo Haseo will preform a finishing attack. Depending on what kind of weapon you are using (Speed or Hold and Release) will determine what you have to do to preform the finishing attack for the combo. 'Speed' requires you to rapidly press X. 'Hold and Release' requires you to charge the attack and then release it to exacute. -Charged attacks- Hold X to charge an attack. It takes a few seconds but this attack will send an enemy flying, which is critical for certian battles. Charged attacks also break enemy's guard. -Block-Those who played the old games will be happy to know that the new games feature a new and amazing thing: A block button =P. Yes that's right. The block button (circle) will defend you against all attacks (including magic). BUT it won't block charged attacks or status ailments .But you wont face any enemies like that for awhile but in the Arena. So no worries for now. -Rengeki- This bascily lets you do more powerfull attacks, kinda like a critical hit. If you rapidly inflict damage to an enemy blue and purple circles will form around the enemy. If you trigger an arts in that time you will increase the damage dealt from the attack. It also increases the Exp you'll get at the end of the battle, plus it increases the exp for your Arts level which allows you to gain new arts. -Arts and Skills- Arts are (for Haseo) the offensive physical skills. As you go through the game ,gaining more Rengeki exp, you will level up your weapon's level, or in other words how proficient you are at using twin swords. As you level up your weapon's abilities, you will gain up to 4 arts in vol. 1-Rebirth. -After Battles: A menue will appear and this shows you how much exp you gain and what rewards you recive to defeating an enemy party. Players of the older games will again be happy to see that you gain ALOT more exp per battle. In three battles you can gain a level. Alot better then the old: 10 battles per level. -Menue- If you open the menue by pressing triangle, you will notice that everything you need to worry about can be dealt with in one menu. -Replacing the old complex chat system from the older games is a brand new stradgey menu. It allows you to set you characters to differnt stances that will alow you're charatcers to fight in different ways. For now it's a good idea just to leave things as is. Also if you go under "skill" in the menue, you can not only chose skills that Haseo uses but also desingnate skills you're party members can use. You can use the menue in battle. Use it to activate healing,attack magic,and other skills. This right here simplifies all the complexe chat systems from the old game, and you'll find it much more simple. -Also a change worth note-ing is that you only have one peice of armor, one weapon as normal, and an accessory. These three peices of equipment have customization slots. The slots alow you to add atributes to the equipment like added fire damage for weapons, or -10% physical damage for armor, or -5% Sp use for arts for accessories. Different stuff like that you can mess around with later so don't worry about it just yet. -Map- You can view the full map by pressing the SELECT button. Press X once to view the map objectives. Press Select again to make the map disapear completey. You must press Select again to make it re apear in the upper right hand corner. Basicly it cycles through three positions: Mini map, Full map, No mini map (repeats). Also note. There are compass markings on the outer edges of the map- North, south, east ,and west. Explore the menue; you'll find explanitions for everything at the bottom. But it's not totally nesscarry. Continue on with the mission. When you get all three symbol fragments you'll be able to go to the final destination. (no pun intended). Also don't bother about trying to reach level 2. I've tried like 5 times and have never been able to do it. Besides it'd be pointless anyways.......never mind just finsh up. Ok As you approch the beast statue you'll trigger a huge string of CG movies that will take awhile. So watch all of those and then come back and I'll give you some intresting details you might have over looked. ----------(Watch movies then come back to keep reading.)------- -------------------------------- Movie- Start with a PK Short Version/Main points: Make note of the dude who saved Haseo. I find it interesting that his shots from his gun- 1) kills in one hit, and 2) made the pker's character data flicker on the screen. Also,check out his arm. ---------------------------------- -------------------------------- Movie- Terror of Death Short Version/Main points: Haseo first off looks alot differnt from his first form, thats because due to the events in .hack//ROOTS(an anime TV series) ,Haseo was able to gain huge amounts of strength: he also is in his Third form (due to job extentions). And so you'll notice he kicks @$$. He's also looking for Tri-Edge ,and Tri-Edge just happens to look ALOT like a character we all know and love, but more on that later. Also veterans of the old games will remember that there was something else in the series called the Terror of Death..........? ---------------------------------- -------------------------------- Movie- Atoli Short Version/Main points: Atoli's voice is like nails on a chalk board... Arrggghh. Anyway, what you need to realise is that Atoli looks alot like Shino ...who was someone very special to Haseo. So...yeah, give the guy a break for being a reall @$$ hole at times. Anywho, Atoli may seem like she'd be a side character, but she isn't. She ends up playing a big role. Also, Sakaki..... something about him that's a little........ ---------------------------------- -------------------------------- Movie- Reunion Short Version/Main points: Ok, Ovan is sweet and all but......well lets just say he...is...well.....he knows more then he's letting on. What you need to know about him is that everytime his glasses glare that red-orange color or his face gets all dark, he's lieing about something or planning something shaddy. ---------------------------------- -------------------------------- Movie- Tri-edge Short Version/Main points: That's right long time .Hack fans, Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground is still around and it's as important as ever. And for those long time fans, yes that's right.....Tri-Edge looks alot like a character we all know and love. But don't worry, the real him (in the real world) is in college in 'real life' so it cant really be him....maybe just his character data with a mind of it's own now? Haseo got his @$$ kicked big time. And look very very closly as the movie ends. You see Haseo's line of sight for about a second or two. Look closly at what he sees. You might recognize the out line of the person. ---------------------------------- Ok so Obviously alot just happened. For now just check the e-mail and read. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Ovan : choices Short version: Ovan presents you with a choice. Conintue and find the truth. Or run away with your tail between your legs. Well Haseo, being the bad @$$ he is decides he's not giving up, and no matter what it takes he's going to help Shino. ---------------------------------- Ok Now it's time to put the main story on hold for a few minutes and do some reading. Flip over to the "News Capture". ---------------------------------- -News- The first and most important thing is Online Jack. The Red section thing you can select. Online Jack is like the bonus disks that came with older games only these are built into the game and come in segments that become available to watch through out the game. I know the first one isn't that great, but the others have some seriously intresting things going on that you really need to watch and pay attention to. Other then that, I'd read a bit here and there; It really gives you a great feel for what their 'real world' is like. It's prety cool.Try watching the small clips of news that they have, it's actually prety neat the way it's done. So read some articles and watch some stuff. If nothing else view it quickly then back out of the artical so it doesn't say that it's new. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Forum- The forum (like the Board from the old games) is where you can view peoples posts from the story line. It's prety cool and they explain alot of stuff there. Read what you want. Unlike the old games this board features a mass read button. If you go into a forum and select a topic you can press the triangle button and it will display all the repleys at once, aka it saves time so you don't have to open every singel message by itself. Read what you like. View everything (even if just in mass) so that nothing's left marked "New".You'll gain a bunch of Key words, so that's useful. -Under the Rumors Forum make sure to read the "Forest of Pain" Topic. Yes it's some what important. -Also the "Apkallu" is a forum where players post art work. You can set these peices of art as back grounds for your desktop if you want to. Just View the topics and press X while viewing the art to load it onto your Accessories tools. ---------------------------------- -When you're done feel free to Save and Log-in. ---------------------------------- --Official Site If I were you I'd view the Offical Site and get some background info. on the game's theme.But really the only important thing might be enemies and the Jobs (aka. Classes). ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- --Official Forum I highly suggest reading some of the stuff here. It's prety helpfull and if nothing else view topics en-mass to gain keywords. ---------------------------------- Log-in to the game. Watch first then read ahead in guide. ---------------------------- -------Town: Mac Anu ------- ---------------------------- ------- Yep that's right, You're back a level one. Sorry but you don't get to play as the level 133 Terror of Death. Well anyway, follow the instructions and see you in a bit. Go with the flow for now. Really there's not alot I can say at the moment. I'll comment here and there but really it's all prety straight forward. ---Blue circles on the map mark objectives. -So anyway you'll run into two guys who end up helping you out and end up becoming your buddies. The guy in the green,Silabus is prety cool ,and a great swordsman. The short pink dude ,Gaspard, on the other hand is well not all that great....->prety useless. ---Use green warp points to get around the city faster. It saves huge amounts of time. -You don't have any cash yet so no point in shoping. You might as well save and head for the area, nothing better to do. ---The key words with check marks next to them are story based areas with events that progress the story. If you're confused check the Memoir option in your Menue for hints. ---------------------------- -------2)Peaceful,Leading ,Freedom------- ---------------------------- Area Type- Jungel cave Area Level-3 Party: Haseo,Silabus, Gaspard My level:1 -And yeah, being called a noob kinda sucks, but they'll cut it out eventually. Fight through the dungeon. It shouldn't be all that hard. Kill everything so you can to level up as much as possible and make sure to use Rengekki to get bonus exp. ---If you search along the edges of the dungeon you may find a steam switch you can kick. This allows you to collect Chim spheres. Basicly Chim spheres can power steam techknology. There are doors you will neeed to be opened with chim spheres. So take some time and get a bunch. -Treasure chests- That's right long time .Hack// fans. Trapped treasure chests are back! But new and improved, These new chests shake instead of being blue and instead of using an item to disarm traps, this game requires you to enter a button sequence before time runs out, and if it does run out you suffer a gun blast to the face. Also Look for Kickable/Breakable objects. -Awankening- this is basicly like a limit break attack. Awakening makes you faster and stronger it's actually really good once you get the hang of it. If you use skills in awankening they are like uber powerful. So thats a good thing. You can use the Awakening by filling the Moral guage. To fill the guage preform rengeki attacks and arts. When the guage is full press the Square button. There are two type of awankenings for the first game. And you chose which one you want from the Menue. -Magic using party members- For the veterans of the .Hack series. You'll be happy to know that unlike the magic users of the old games who would stand around and wait to get killed; Clerics and Warlocks in this game will atuo. block if an enemy comes near. They may attempt one or two weak attacks then they will beat a hasty retreat to another part of the battle area where they will continue to attack from a range. Anyway eventually you'll make it to the Beast statue. Well that's about the time when things get intresting. Remember the Pkers from before. Yeah, well they decide to pay you a visit. Just watch and enjoy the movies. Come back when they're over. -------------------------------- Movie- Pi Short Version/Main points: She looks like a slut in the game but is a serious bussiness woman in the real world. She's actually very mature despite her sluty outfit. Anyway, Pi saves your butt from the Pkers. ---------------------------------- Well now you're back in control. Let me just mention two things, First is that you get a ranking on how well you did in an area once you leave it, and the better you do, the better the reward you get when you're done. Rewards range from cheap items to getting newer and better keywords for the chaos gate. The second thing is that the dangerous power Pi was talking about would have something to do with The Terror of Death. Anyway..... After all those scenes and everything; I'd say Haseo has had one long day. So far today he's: Killed a group of Pkers, met Atoli, reunited with Ovan, Got his butt kicked by Tri-Edge,got leveled down to level 1 from 133, almost got killed by a group of Pkers that he killed earlier, told by Pi that his character holds a dangerous power, and has had Atoli (the girl with a voice like nails on a chalk board) join your member list. So anyway, after a long day, you have two choices:the first is to walk around the city and get a good feel for the lay out and see what shops sell what and get a feel for what's what. I suggest doing this now as I'm sure it will help you later and the city really is prety cool to explore. After that the last option is just to log-out and check some e-mails, Forums, and news. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Pi : Remember this Short version: Basicly she re-caps on what she said eariler. Also, make sure to reply: "Who are you?" ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Hi! : Gaspard Short version: Just some stuff about you being the Terror of Death. Make sure to reply: "Tri-Edge". ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Silabus : No way! Short version: Again, some stuff about you being the Terror of Death. Reply: "Like what?" ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Silabus : Quests Short version: He explains about quests, aka side jobs. These 'side jobs' are little side quests that ussally only require you to visit like one area. They render good rewards and it's a good idea to do as many as you can, but with everything that'll be happening, you may not finish all of them till the end of the game. ---------------------------------- -You need to complete the quest Silabus was talking about in order to advance the story, so make sure to check the forum, save, and then log-in. ---------------------------- -------Town: Mac Anu ------- ---------------------------- Head for the blue circle on the map. When you get to the quest shop, add Silabus and Gaspard to your party. Then, accept the quest from the Quest shop. Once you've done that head for the Chaos Gate. --Equipment materials-- Before you head off I should mention that if you get lucky you'll get some materials for your weapons or armor or accessories. What you can do is add those materials to your equipment to give them added bonuses. I got very very lucky when I played this time through as I was writing the guide and got the Weapon material that gives you extra fire damage bonus, It was already on a weapon that I got from a beast statue, so when you go to customize weapons, don't forget to check all your equipment for materials that can be taken off usless equipment and put on you good stuff. Oh and by the way, for now use any old material for your equipment cause something is better the nothing. Remember that you can put materials into your equipment AND the equipment of your party members by using the Customize option. Later, however I'll be giving you my set up that I use for me and my party members. Well enough of that, head off for the quest area. Quest:Crown Quest ---------------------------- -------3) Chasing, Cupid's, Phantom (Q)------- ---------------------------- Area Type: Temple Area Level:5 Party: Haseo,Silabus, Gaspard My Level: 4 In this area you;ll meet enemies that look like blue tigers. They use a magic watter attack spells. You can tell when you're going to be attacked by the red circles on the ground comming toward you. Make sure to hold the block button or suffer a blast of magic in the face. -This quest is really easy. All you have to do is keep on going through the dungeon till you run into a Lucky animal. If you kick it, it will summon King Chim Chim. The way you do this is: Kick the King three times in a row then run away. He'll jump at you and miss. Then, repeat till he's toast. You'll auto. warp back to town. ---------------------------- -------Town: Mac Anu ------- ---------------------------- Once back you'll auto. finish the quest. You will recive something called the Text of Wisdom; these items will permanently raise someone's stats. However you will ALWAYS want to use this kind of item on ONLY Haseo. ---------- IMPORTANT! ---------- In this guide I will NOT cover the normal quests until the post game section. However I will admit that it is better do them through out the game as they become avalible. If you wish to complete the normal quest through out the game instead of waiting till the end, then I suggest you take time to do so as you see fit. I suggest that, instead of going out and leveling up (as you will be doin alot of that) you should instead go and make time to do some quests in between training. They're rather enjoyable,but repetitive. It's up to you if you want the rewards but it's not entirely necessary. If you wish to see any advice I can offer on the topic please look for my section on them near the buttom of the guide. Time to do a small bit of shopping. Head over to the mercenary district via warp point. Head to the weapon shop. You need to do some shopping. -Armor and weapons- Ok What you need to understand about armor is: Haseo uses Heavy class armor, Silabus used Light class armor, and people like Gaspard and Atoli use light robes. Weapons: Haseo uses Twin swords and later, broad swords. Silibus uses a one-handed style sword, Gaspard uses a magic book, and Atoli uses a staff. Sell/Buy: Sell all weapons and armor under level 10. Sell all scrolls. Buy: Nothing-> at this point you probably don't have enough cash to buy just about anything. Well at least at this store. --For now why don't you head back to the chaos gate and take Silibus and Gaspard out to level up a bit and earn some cash. Just keep using the Random button until you find an area that's level 6 or if you're brave level 7. But I wouldn't suggest level 7 just yet. Anyway in terms of Area type I much perfer the Field type area over a Dungeon type field. Reason being is that you can get around easier and therefore gain exp faster. But that's just me. -If you do decide to go to a dungeon type area make sure to keep an eye open for "Trap Rooms". -Trap Rooms: these are rooms in a dungeon that contial a huge amount of traps that inflict damage on you and your party members. There are the folowing types of traps: Spike Pad, Shearch Light,and Steam Piston. Spike pads are tiles on the room's floor. Every few seconds spikes pop out. You can safly cross them when the spikes are down. Shearch Lights are just that, shearch lights, but unlike what you normally think of as one big flash light, these suckers will shoot an explosive mortar at you if you walk into the light area on the ground. Finally Steam Pistons look like small metal pillars. These things have a piston that fills with hot steam and then shoots it out of a hole once it's full. They take a few seconds to fill so if you time it right you can pass by with out injury. ---------------------------- -------**) (Random),(Random),(Random)------- ---------------------------- Area Type: Field Area Level: 6 Party: Haseo, Silabus, Gaspard My level: 4 ---------------------------- -------Town: Mac Anu ------- ---------------------------- Ok as you get back to town I should tell you that I was able to get two Materials called Turtle shell. This armor Material provided -10% physical damage. And is in fact one of the better materails in the game and it's what I'm using on Haseo and Silabus. Well anyway, time to do some more shopping. Head over to the Mercenary district. Once you've customized your party's equipment feel free to sell off any other materials. They acctually sell for a good amount and will bring in enough cash to buy some new twin blades. At the Mercenary Weapon shop you'll find a pair of level 4 Dual Swords. Go ahead and buy them. And Don't forget to move your Weapon's material from your old weapon to your new twin blades so they will now have the added effect instead of your old swords. Well anyway that's about all there is to do for now, Log-out and check some e-mails. --note*- For those who played the old games and coverted the saved game data you'll recieve an e-mail from BlackRose that she wrote to Kite after the old games ended. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- BlackRose : Well done Short version: It gives you a glance into the things that happened after the games ended and how things turned out for the old gang. As you read you can tell that things really ended up kind of sad for everyone. I mean you basicly find out that after the 2nd network crisis CC Corp. was glad and all that they didn't all get arrested for covering up the facts that their game was putting players into comas and that they were respondsible for huge amounts of property and financial losses. Granted I don't have all the official details from manga or anything, but I heard from some people at www.dothackers.net that CC Corp. didn't acknowledge the .hackers for what they did, and basicly let everyone say what they wanted to. This led to a large amount of their story being left to rumors and so the true story was NEVER made public. As a consequence they were able to ban several people who were involved with the whole situation. From what I understand; The player of Kite went on to graduate Highschool and went to college and at this point has no idea that anything is presently wronge with the game. However I can confirm that several of the .hackers are still playing the game and are characters in the GU game series. Who they are, however, I can't say for now. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Horkuto : To Lena Short version: Basicly Horkuto is the main character of the AI buster novels, and he's sending an e-mail to Lena. Lena played as a character called Rena with her brother Shugo in the .hack// Legend of the Twlight. The series was only 12 episodes long and took place after the old games and before the new anime series .Hack//ROOTS. What you need to know is that Shugo and Lena won a 'contest' that got them exclusive characters that looked like the legendary .hackers: Kite and BlackRose. The contest was actually made by Aura not CC Corp. Aura needed their help to fight against a vagrant AI that was causing a huge amount of trouble. So with the help of Bulmung, Sanjuro, and some friends they were able to put a stop to the mess. If I were you I'd read the whole thing, it's actually intresting once you read all of it. Anyway that's about the sum of things. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Atoli : Lets get going Short version: You need to go with her to advance the story line. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- CC Corp. : Campaign notice Short version: after completing certian quests you can continue to work for the guys/girls that gave you the quests. They will reward you as you continue to do things for them. In this case the Dr. who gave you the quest wants you to collect info. on the Chim Chims...I think. ---------------------------------- Well looks like You need to go meet Atoli. So Save and log-in. ---------------------------- -------Town: Mac Anu ------- ---------------------------- As you log-in you'll see a seen with Atoli. You'll be going alone with her to her area. And despite what you might think, this won't be boring. ---------------------------- -------4)Submissive,Tragedy's,1000 Oaks------- ---------------------------- Area Type:Field Area Level:3 Party:Haseo,Atoli, (none) My level:6 As you enter the area you start to realize just how much of an @$$ hole Haseo really is. Of course it doesn't help that Miss I-have-a-voice-like-nails-on-a-chalkboard is completly an air head. And yeah of course just looking at Atoli is a constant reminder of someone who special to him....... Anyway I'll say more about that later. For now though there's really only one thing you can do: head out to collect the symbol fragments to get to the beast statue. Everything is prety much straight forward. The bridges are all in one path that lead to the Beast statue so no worries about getting side tracked. --Also note that Atoli speclizes in healing magic, and is very very good at it. Even more so when she gets to some higher levels: *cough she's one of your most valuable party members Cough* For now just keep moving and come back to read when you reach the Beast Statue.... Ok you're back, As you open a treasure chest some scenes will start. For now go with the flow. This will take awhile so when everything is done and you're looking for a way out of the area come back and read somemore...... -------------------------------- Movie- Avatar Short Version/Main points: Ok,first off that Fabio prety boy with the cat. And how he was playing with that black matter: Very odd. Anyway, The guy who comes to save the day gives you a look at some very important things about the story. For the Vetrans of .Hack you'll know the name Magus very well as the name of the third phase. And if Magus is a phase...then the Terror of Death is..... aaaahhh, never mind. Anyway, Kuhn gives you his member adress. *woot!* I know he kinda looks.....differnt but Kuhn is amzing sweet. ---------------------------------- So anyway, Since you're already at the Lost Grounds take the time to explore the area and enjoy. Because you won't be comming back anytime soon and no, you can't just waltz in. It's kinda a one time thing. Well, if you head to the back of the cave after looking around. You'll see a short loading sceen then you'll find a Platform that will take you back to town. ---------------------------- -------Town: Mac Anu ------- ---------------------------- Well nothing much to do but log-out and read some E-mails. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Kuhn : Invitation to HQ Short version: Kuhn wants to meet you in the mercenary district where you'll then go to Raven; The Guild that Kuhn and some other people are in. This is the next story event so it should be high on your to-do list. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Honkto : I'm sorry! Short version: This is an e-mail apologizing for the fact that he accidentally sent you an e-mail that was ment for Lena. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Silabus : Another thing Short version: He goes over what I've been talking about with customization. But it'd be a good idea to read the e-mail and see if his explaination makes more sense then mine. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Silabus : I Almost forgot Short version: This teaches you some finer deatials about the combat system. I Highly suggest reading this because it saves me having to write about it when it's already there. So read it and absorb the the knowledge. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Atoli : Hello, Haseo Short version: She re-caps on the days events. And brings up some intresting points. Make sure to reply: "Sound" ---------------------------------- Well, Kuhn is waiting so log-in and lets go see him in the Mercenary District. ---------------------------- -------Town: Mac Anu ------- ---------------------------- Us the warp point to go to the mercenary district to meet Kuhn. GO with the flow and listen to what he has to say, Ignore Haseo being an A**hole. Come back afterward and read so I can recap on everything that was discussed later. As you can see, Haseo and Pi still have issues. Hehe. As you can tell Yata knows quite a bit about whats going on....yet maybe not so much. But one thing's for sure, he's seen things like this happen before in "The World" Which very possibly why he makes a far better Admin. then Lios ever was, and is why he doesn't have a problem with a certian hacker running.....oh wait...I probably shouldn't tell you that just yet. Enough said. Well whatever, All I need say is that he's a character that the vetran .hack players would know from the old games as a.....well how do I say it: He is.....well he helped organize the alliance between the admins and the hackers to fight the cursed wave in the old games, and worked closly with Helba. -------------------------------- Movie- Serpent of Lore Short Version/Main points: It's an Admin room, and I'd say Yata has been expecting Haseo for sometime now. ---------------------------------- Everything else is pretty well explained. ---------------------------- -------Town: Mac Anu ------- ---------------------------- As you re-enter Man Anu they give you a hint to check out the guild shops. So head over to central district. Head for the blue circle. Watch some scenes with Silabus and Gaspard. They send you on a little side quest. Use your map and buy the need items. Good luck. -------------------------------- Movie- Small customer Short Version/Main points: You get stuck watching the shop. And soon you have a customer. Hehe, isn't she...ahhh he?, she?.....anyway, isn't it cute =P. So yeah I love how Haseo shows that he actually has a heart when he's dealing with Bo. hehe, times like this where I love Haseo's personality. ---------------------------------- For the vetrans of .hack : What do you remember from the third game that is one thing over-all but has two personalites and are twins?.....BINGO (if you got it). You meet Atoli, HAHAHA I LOVE HIS FACE when he sees her!! HAHAHAHA!. But then Haseo returns to his normal ***hole-ness. So eventually you'll see Kuhn who said he had a 'appointment' to keep.... yeah he's a womanizer..lol. Hehehe, wow Kuhn used to be a steady guy when he used to date a girl in his highschool. I mean she played a mojor role in allowing the final battle between the .hackers and the final phase to continue. But thats off topic and .Hack fans may know who that makes him.....*cough third best player of "The World:R1" before Kite came along cough* - Haseo brings up the point that he is the way he is because of the Pkers, Ovan, and Shino. -And then Haseo is offered the position of Guild Master, intresting. ---------Afterwards---- -So for now, there's not a huge amount of stuff to do, so log-out. -Check the official Forum for some more keywords that you'll be needing. ---------------------------------- -E-mail- Kuhn : That Thing Short version: Kuhn wants to help you now to try and summon your avatar. Better meet in Mac Anu. ---------------------------------- |
