------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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

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.

--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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

return to Root Town.
