Walkthrough
--------------------------
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FYI:  This walkthrough is being written as if you have converted Data from
Mutation.  I don't know anything about playing the game without converting so
I won't write it that way.  I will try to give tips the best I can though.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the introduction you will be on the desktop.

New Email:

1.  CC Corp:  The world has been upgraded to Ver. 3.02.  Which includes Grunty
    Search.
2.  Wiseman:  Telling you he will be out of touch.

New News:

1.  Official announcement from CC Corp-Hackers were the cause of the comas.
    Kite will comment on this news article.
2.  Altlimit information
3.  Next Generation Cellular Phone

Save your game if you want.

Choose The World.

Check the boards:

1.  Version Upgrade information.  Talking about the new Grunty Search.

Log in to the world.

------------------
-Carmina Gadelica-
------------------

You will see a scene with Mia.  Afterwards, you can wander around.  If you
want to start trading go ahead.  Kite cannot have anybody else join his party
yet.

--Mia will not be available to be in your party for the entire game.--

--If you have raised Grunties for the Lambda Server in Mutation you can
now trade with the Bony Grunty for a Golden Grunty and Aromatic Grass.  You
can also trade with Snakey Grunty for a Silver Grunty.

--If you raised the Grunties on Theta Server, the Iron Grunty will have an
Aromatic Grass to trade.

--Check your Ryu Books to see if you can get anymore images or music to
add to your desktop.

You will receive notification that you have mail.

Log out

-Desktop-

New Email:

1.  CC Corp:  Apologizing for 'The Problem' The World has been experiencing.
2.  Mistral:  She wants to talk with you at Delta Root Town.

Check the boards:

1.  Phantom-There has been a red wand seen at Lambda Stalking Betrayed
    Nothingness.
2.  There is a post about Harald Hoerwick.
3.  More about the Epitaph of Twilight.
4.  Virus Cores
5.  Monster that noone can defeat.

--About Lambda Stalking Betrayed Nothingness, this is a Level 70 area, so go
to this field when you feel you are ready.--

Log in to the world.  Go to the Delta server.

You will see a scene with Mistral.  After that you will see a scene with
BlackRose.  You will be at Lambda server when it is all over.

--Mistral will not join your party for this installment.  She will not auto
level up either.--

You will get notification that you have mail.

Log out

-Desktop-

New Email:

1.  CC Corp:  Sigma server has been opened, you can now go to Sigma Server.
2.  BlackRose:  Telling you to call her anytime.

Check the boards:

1.  To Orca:  Orca said there was a strange room at Sigma Chatting Snaring
    Twins.

Log in.  Head to the new server Sigma.

-----------------------
-Aerial city-Fort Ouph-
-----------------------

Run around and get acquainted with the new server.  The equipment shop has
pretty much everything that was considered the best in Mutation.  You can
also raise Grunties here as well.

--Make some trades to upgrade Kite if you can.  Be on the lookout for Cyan,
he has the Owl Crest which he will trade for 12 Well Waters (Can be found in
Earth element dungeons.)  This piece of equipment has Phal Repth which heals
all your HP plus any targets nearby.

--Cyan also has Sonic Gloves that he will trade for 12 Well waters, this is a
high level medium armor.  Also check your Ryu Book III, look for Annri, she
has the Airy Robes, get those if you can.

--Always carry 3 or 4 different types of weapons for Kite.  Make sure the
blades have different elemental attacks, try having some for each element.

--Try to find armors with the different elemental spells, namely for Kite,
since you have the most control over him.

--If you got the Lucky Shoes in Mutation, bring these along for every dungeon.
Also do the Same for the Time Sandals.

--Stock up on Recovery Drinks and Artisan Souls, which can now be bought at
the Sigma Item Shop.

The next dungeon Kite will have to go it alone, as he cannot add people to
his party yet.  Try to trade for a weapon that has a Darkness Skill, also
pick up an armor that has a Wood Skill, this will help greatly in the next
dungeon.  Bring along the Blades of Bond if you got them, otherwise find a
weapon with a Thunder Skill.  Also buy some Blood Items to boost Kite's stats.
If you have the Lucky Shoes bring those along as well.  Save your game and
head to the Chaos Gate.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sigma Chatting Snaring Twins-Orca was investigating a strange room
Lvl.  52  Element:  Earth

--Kite must be alone.
--Consider using the blood items to boost Kite's stats.

--Don't clear the field if you don't want to.

Head North through the Purple Haze for a Data Bug Fight.

You will find Balmung fighting a:

-----------------------------------------
Databugged Ironball Titan-Earth Tolerance
-----------------------------------------

Since it has an Earth Tolerance hit him with Wood based Spells for an
elemental Critical.  Balmung will help out greatly as well.  After it takes
so much damage you can Data Drain for a Virus Core O.  After that it will be
a:

--------------------------------
Ironball Titan-Thunder Tolerance
4550 HP
--------------------------------

Now use Darkness based spells and skills, always keep Kite's HP high though,
because he can hit pretty hard.  If it is easier for you, stand back and have
Kite cast spells, they don't necessarily have to be darkness, just don't use
Thunder spells.

After the fight you will see a cool scene, and you will get Balmung's Member
Address!  There will be another scene and Kite will receive Key Item Epitaph
02.  You will then return to Root Town.

6.  Wiseman:  Wants to meet at Sigma Town, reply with About Time! for a boost

7.  You should receive an email from each of your characters, complaining

Virus Core O.

New Email:

1.  Wiseman:  He's got a plan but we need Helba's help, go to Net Slum Lambda
    Pulsating Truth's Core.

Log into the world and head to Sigma Server.

-----------------------
-Aerial city Fort Ouph-
-----------------------

--Now you have a number of things you can do, to move the storyline onwards
you should head to Net Slum.

--The Goblin Tag Challange is completely optional and I will cover it in the
Extras section of this guide.

--I am putting these dungeons from the lowest level to the highest level.

--Now that you can add people to your party, you can start trading for
equipment for them.  When giving them armor keep in mind of the elemental
status, don't give them all the same element, mix and match to optimize them
the best you can.

--Watch out for the new weapons, a lot of them have Negative elemental
attributes, so make sure you give them Armor that will counter the negative
stat.  For instance the FireDrake Bone has a -20 in Water.  This could put
your character with a negative Water stat, give him Water armor to make
up for that, or just don't use them at all.

--About dungeons, I recommend using a Fairy Orb on each floor so you know
where you are going.  All directions given in the walkthrough are for the
quickest way to the exit, but I recommend completing the dungeon, there are
exceptions and I will point them out in the Walkthrough.

First head to:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sigma Attracting Fate Ebb & Flow-Nuke Usagimaru's Dungeon
Lvl.  52  Element:  Fire
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--Nuke must be in your party.
--If you have the FishSkin Twin Blade bring them along, otherwise find an
armor that has Water Spells for Kite.

to take them out.

Prince, a new monster to add to your Ryu Book IV.

B1
North, North, East, North, West, Down.

You will fight:

---------------------------
Wander Demon-Fire Tolerance
HP 4050

If you have the FishSkin TwinBlade weapon use your Merrows Spell, otherwise
use any water spells you may have.  The Wander Demon was a regular enemy in
Mutation so you may have fought a lot of these already.

Afterwards there will be conversation, and Nuke will leave.  Kite will return
to root town.

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

-----------------------
-Aerial City Fort Ouph-

There will be some conversation, and Marlo will Logout.  Kite will return to

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

Now add Sanjuro to your party and let's go get him that sword.

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

-----------------------
-Aerial City Fort Ouph-
-----------------------

Now you have some Choices:

--You can do the Dungeon that Terajima Ryoko sent to Kite.
--You can do the Level 70 dungeon where the Red Wand was spotted.  This will
be covered in its own separate section, but not in the Walkthrough.
--Finish up any Goblin Tags.
--Or head to Net Slum and carry on with the storyline.

OK!  Now whatever you decided to do, this Walkthrough is going to:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sigma Generous Bemused Virgin-Area invited by Terajima Ryoko who is looking
for a rare item.
Lvl.  62  Element:  Water
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--Terajima Ryoko must be in your party.
--I recommend bringing Wiseman as your third Party Member.

-----
Field
-----

Grunty Food:  Cordyceps
Enemies:       Databugged House Golem-Magic Tolerence
                -DD Sorrow, Alien Axe, Water Beast
               House Golem-Physical Tolerence
                -DD Virus Core F, Quake Axe, Laevateinn
               Undead Voodoo-Dark Tolerence
                -DD Virus Core H, Erlin's Spear, Lava Greaves
               Spin Figure-Thunder Tolerance
                -DD Virus Core I, Fairy Axe, Fire Beast

Tips on Enemies:

--Undead Voodoo can paralyze your party members so use an Antidote to heal.
Also use Kite's thunder skills to take them out quickly.
--The Databugged House Golem has Magic Tolerance, so have Kite and Ryoko
use their best skills.  After he is Data Drained he switches to Physical
Tolerance, so have Kite use Magic Skills.

Tips on Data Draining:

--Since you have to Data Drain, make sure that Kite gets the finishing blow
on all monsters.  Tell Terajima Ryoko to Standby, if she is stealing the kill.
Also have Wiseman on Healing.

-------

Grunty Food:   Bear Cat Egg, Golden Egg

Some Tips on this dungeon:

--Save before entering.
--It is possible to complete this dungeon and find all Magic Portals.
--When in battle have Kite deal the finishing blow on all monsters, even the
data drained monsters, this will lower his Infection Level.
--Use the battle tactic:  Operation Recover or tell each individual character
to Standby.  This will keep them from attacking and stealing the kill from
Kite.
--Don't worry too much about getting System Error--Game Over, it is very Rare!
--Do Not Data Drain more than necessary.
--Use the regular 10 SP Data Drain, not Drain Arc or 2128 Drain.

B1
North, East, East, East, South, Down.

B3
Just head North all the way.  There will be a scene where Terajima Ryoko does
something very dumb.  After the scene head North to the Gott Statue.  You will
get a Golden Grunty.  Use a Sprite Ocarina to leave the dungeon.  Gate out to
return to Root Town.

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

-----------------------
-Aerial City Fort Ouph-
-----------------------

Now the keywords you have left are for Lambda Stalking Betrayed Nothingness,
and possibly the Goblin Tag.  Both of these will be covered in the Extras
section.

Now head over to Lambda server.  Form a party and head to Net Slum.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lamba Pulsating Truth's Core-This is where Net Slum is located
Lvl.  30  Element:  Wood
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will meet up with Tartarga and he will give you a message from Helba, go
to Sigma Tested Quicksilver Valkyrie alone.  Tartarga will then mention he
wants you to get rid of a data bug, that is in the back of Net Slum.  You must
fight:

----------------------------------
Databug Harpy Queen-Wood Tolerance
----------------------------------

This fight is easy just hit her with normal attacks.  Data Drain her for Virus
Core O.

--------------------------
Harpy Queen-Wood Tolerance
HP 1970
--------------------------

You should have fought these before in Mutation.  Just issue the skills
command and let your friends clean up the mess.

After the fight Tartarga will give you Feng Shui (Earth Element +1).  Head
back to root town and switch to Sigma Server.

If you have fought the first Goblin, log out and check the boards. There will
be a new Goblin Challange this time at Sigma Detestable Gambler's Messenger.
If you want, go ahead and get that out of the way.  The next dungeon Kite must
go alone so stock up on Recovery Drinks, and Artisans Souls.  Bring along a
weapon that has a Darkness skill.  Head to the Chaos gate and go to:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sigma Tested Quicksilver Valkyrie-Helba wants you to go here alone
Lvl.  52  Element:  Wood

--Kite must be alone.
--This field is set up just like a dungeon, follow that path to the entrance.

This dungeon is actually pretty easy for Kite to go alone, so if you want to,
go ahead and clear the dungeon of all Magic Portals.  But of course, here is
the shortest route to the exit.

North, North, Down.

B2
North, West, North, North, East, South, Down.

B3
North, East, North to Gott Statue.  Head all the way to the North and you will
come to a door with a Purple Haze.  Heal up and head in:

You will fight a:

--------------------
Databugged Comad Goo
Thunder Tolerance
--------------------

Use your darkness Skills and magic.  If it starts spinning try to move out of
the way to avoid a damaging attack.  Heal when needed.  Data Drain this
monster for a Virus Core R.

---------------------------
Comad Goo-Thunder Tolerence
4370 HP
---------------------------

Same as above.  Use darkness skills and magic.  Heal when needed

After the fight Helba will greet you and she also will agree to help you with
Wiseman's plan.  You will return to Root Town.

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

You will get notification of new mail.

New Email:

1.  Aura:  It's a Garbled email, but she mentions something of Fidchell, and
    a Segment.
2.  Wiseman:  Telling you to go to Sigma Turbulant Distrusting Ice Wall.  Data
    is increasing here.  Head to this area with BlackRose.

Log in and head to Sigma Server.

-----------------------
-Aerial City Fort Ouph-
-----------------------

--A player by the name of Edajima will give you Virus Core O.
--If you have played the first two you should know what it means when the game
forces you to use BlackRose, it means you are going up against a tough enemy.
--Stock up on any items, buy some bloods to help boost stats, and upgrade Kite
and BlackRose.
--For your third party member I recommend bringing Wiseman.  But you can take
whoever you like.
--Also give Healing Items, Restoratives, Antidotes, and Ressurects to
BlackRose and your third party member.  This will allow them to help out with
the healing if things don't go the way you want.

When you are ready head to the Chaos Gate and go to:

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

area's capacity is expanding.  Possibly by one of the 8 Phases.

Tips on Enemies:

--Watch out for Deadly Present's, they can confuse you, heal with a
restorative.  If Kite gets confused have him issue the !First Aid command
ASAP.


B1
North, West, North, North, East, North, Down

B2
North, North, North, West, South, Down

B3

B4
Just follow the path to the doorway with the Purple Haze.  Use any Blood items
to buff up your stats, you also might want to consider using some of the
items that protect against elemental damage (Burning Oils, Holy Saps, etc.).
Heal up and head through to face:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phase 4--Fidchell-The Prophet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issue the Skills! command, then if you brought Wiseman give him the First
Aid! command.

Fidchell's Attacks:

--First off like most phases he has a slam into the ground for big damage
attack, so try moving Kite out of the way
--He will cast spells like:  Dek Do, Mumyn Lei, Suvi Lei and others as well.
These cause status effects, heal with Antidotes and Restoratives.
--Oracle:  Thunder Cry--Thunder spell attack, may also cause status effect.
--Oracle:  Devil Quake--Massive Earth spell attack, may also cause status
effect.
--Oracle:  Ice Storm--Water spell attack.
--Data Drain:  Casts pretty much every status effect on one character.
--Also there may be more but this is what I faced.

If you did not bring Wiseman have Kite be the main healer.  Otherwise just
have Kite use whatever skills you like to use.  If Kite gets hit with a
status effect like sleep or paralyze, issue the First Aid! command and hope
somebody heals you.  If Wiseman is healing this won't be a problem but if you
notice that Wiseman has been put asleep or Paralyzed have Kite heal him ASAP.
Just keep BlackRose and Kite attacking and after some time he will Protect
Break.  Data Drain Fidchell for Segment 2.

Now Fidchell has 5000 HP, and he isn't quite as hard.

Fidchell Attacks after Data Drain:

--LaRue Zot-Water spell attack.  Can cause good damage heal ASAP.
--Various Status effect spells.  Have Wiseman or Kite heal them.

Just have Kite and BlackRose hit him with their skills.  Wiseman should still
be healing because Fidchell can still hit hard.  After you do a lot of damage
he will start healing for 400 HP.  But even so this should not be a problem.
Eventually you will win.

There is only one way to go.  When you get to the Purple door.  Use any kind
of stat-boosting items and head on in:

There will be a scene and then you must fight.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cubia Core-Physical and Magical Tolerance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now this time around Cubia has two forms.

General tips on Cubia:

--Always focus on the Core.  Don't worry too much about the Gomora's.  The
only one you might have to worry about is Repth Gomora.
--Keep an eye on his Tolerance level.  Adjust your strategy accordingly.
--Tell Balmung and BlackRose to concentrate on Cubia Core only, don't let
them attack anything else.  Use Designate Target, or Operation Union Battle
then have Kite attack the Cubia Core.
--Always heal after each attack by Cubia.  Even if you think you don't need
to.

Cubia's First Form:

His first form has 2000 HP, and it changes its tolerance level.  Have Kite act
as the main healer.  Hopefully he doesn't have to devote his whole time to
healing.  Cubia has some good attacks but nothing to hard.  Have Balmung and
BlackRose focus on the Cubia Core, issue the Magic! command if he has Physical
Tolerance and the Attack! command if he has Magic Tolerance.  Have Kite help
out whenever he can.  Once you defeat the first form he will change to his
next form.

Cubia's Second From:

His second form has 5000HP, and he is exactly the same as the first form
except he hits a little harder.  As always go after the Core, and ignore the
others.  Use the same strategy as the first form.  Watch his Tolerance and
watch everyone's HP.  Eventually you will be victorious.

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

Afterwards there will be a scene and everybody will return to Root Town.
There will be a scene and BlackRose will log out.  When you are free to move
around you will get notification that you have email.

Log out.

OK! Now since BlackRose is being forced onto you, this should be a signal that
something big is coming up, so now is a good time to trade for armor and
weapons.

Keep in mind that the Highest level armor is the Wood Based Armor (Airy Robes,
Spirit Hauberk, Oaken Leg Mail, etc...)  However if you choose to equip it
this way your characters will only be able to cast Wood based magic.  This
might be okay for people like BlackRose and Balmung, but for someone like
Wiseman it can make him utterly useless.  So I like to mix and match the
different elemental armors for everybody (Kite is my only exception.)  Also
try finding the Cosmic Staff for Wiseman this gives him 3 different Elemental
Summons, so if you do want to give him all the high level armor, the spells on
this wand will make up for that.  Remember that just because it is a higher
level does not mean it is the best, even some of the old armor from Mutation
could be helpful.

For this dungeon I took:  BlackRose and Wiseman.  Another good party is
Balmung and BlackRose.  Wiseman in some cases will have a hard time surviving
some of the bosses attacks, so you might want to consider Balmung.  However
Wiseman keeps your party healed very well.  So you might just want to consider
stocking Kite up with Resurrects and Artisans Souls.

Stock up on items like Recovery Drinks, Artisans Souls, Resurrects, Antidotes,
and Restoratives.  Give some to the other two party members as well.  Also buy
some Bloods to increase your stats, and maybe even some Speed Charms.

This is what my characters looked like before heading into the dungeon:

Kite:
Owl Crest
Spirit Hauberk
Cats Gloves
Time Sandals/Lucky Shoes (Bring both)

Weapons for Kite:
Two Together
Shin
Stealth Blades
Sora's Blades

BlackRose:
Dreams of Yore
Owl Crest
Tree Beast
Fire Hands
Oaken Leg Mail

Wiseman:
Cosmic Staff
Owl Crest
Airy Robes
Hunting Guard
Oaken Greaves

Now go to:

Grunty Food:     Root Vegetable
Enemies:         Hand of God-Magic Tolerance
                  -DD Virus Core H, Tree Beast, Last Tess
                 Lich-Magic Tolerance
                  -DD Virus Core G, Phoenix's Fire, Cygnus Rod
                 Stare-Magic Tolerance
                  -DD Virus Core I, Two Together, Owl Crest

Tips on Enemies:

--The Stare enemies have a hard hitting Fire spell, and they can also charm
your characters, so get ready to heal with a restorative.  Also consider
Data Draining one for the Two Together TwinBlade weapon, this weapon has a
summon spell called Lanceor Ch.  This is a great spell to take out those
Darkness enemies quickly.  I recommend this one highly!
--For the Lich Enemies use the Splinter Splash skill found on the Shin
TwinBlade, if you are up against 2 or 3 of them you can have Kite stand in the
middle of them and use Splinter Splash, he should be able to kill them all
with that skill.
--Hand of God enemies hit hard have Wiseman healing constantly.  You can
Data Drain these for the Last Tess, a rare weapon for your Long Arm.

There will be a door with the Purple Haze.  Before going through use any Stat

Kite's Lucky Shoes to cast Rig Geam and Rig Saem on everybody.

After some talking you must fight:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phase 5--Gorre-The Machinator
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gorre's Attacks:

Dek Do-Slows your characters down.
Creeping Murder-Fire Attack.  Has a small radius, damage roughly 250-500 HP.
Also hits any characters nearby.
Blade of Scheme-Attack that hits all characters in range.  It hits for big
damage.
Flare of Conspiracy-Electric Attack against one person.
Data Drain-Casts all status effects, and Life Drain.
Mumyn Lei-Puts character to sleep.
Miu Lei-Charms one character.

Have Wiseman be on First Aid! right at the beginning.  Gorre has two heads,
one has a Magical Tolerance, and the other has a Physical Tolerance.  Pick
whichever one you want (I go with the Magic Tolerance side.)  Have BlackRose
attack whichever one that Kite goes after by picking Operation Union Battle.
If you brought Balmung instead of Wiseman,  have Balmung and BlackRose attack
the Head with Magic Tolerance by using Designate target.  Have Kite do the
healing.  (You don't need to attack both heads only attack one, their HP is
connected to each other.)

Gorre has many attacks, and these attacks can hurt!  So be careful.  He has an
attack where he spins and hits the ground really hard and hurts your party
hard as well.  If you see this try running away, you can also issue the
Operation Follow me so that your teammates will follow you out of harms way,
however I found this bothersome.  He has an electric attack that can kill
Wiseman instantly, so get ready to resurrect and give him Artisan Souls so he
can continue healing.  Also watch Wiseman's Status, make sure he isn't
paralyzed or sleeping, heal him ASAP.  Creeping Murder, Blade of Scheme, and
Flare of Conspiracy all can do big damage, make sure Wiseman is healing.  Also
make sure that you use a Speed Charm on Kite and BlackRose, since Gorre can
run pretty quickly.

Have BlackRose and Kite attack the Magical Tolerance head, use Kite's best
skills, whatever you like using for Kite.  After you do enough damage you will
be able to Data Drain him.  DD for Virus Core V.

Gorre's Attacks after Data Drain:

Suvi Lei-Paralyzes a character.
PheGan Rom-Earth attack
PheVak Rom-Fire Attack
Miu Lei-Charms a character.

Now he has 6000HP.  Have Kite issue the Attack! command and keep Wiseman
healing.  Use your favorite skill for Kite, you don't need to worry about
SP now, so use it over and over if you want.  After you have done so much
damage Gorre will start to heal himself.  But as long as Kite and BlackRose
keep hitting him that shouldn't be a problem.  Keep at it and you will win.

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

Congrats!  You have just beaten Gorre and the game.

After the Ending Credits you will receive Image 57-66.  You will be asked to
create a Data Flag by saving.  Do so.
