Battle
You see a scene with Elk and Mia, who admits that she is not a human.
Surprised? (cough not really cough)
Not only is she a program, but she's one
of the 8 Phases! Uh-oh. She transforms and Elk is killed before that battle
even
begins.
PHASE SIX - MACHA THE TEMPTRESS
My level - 74
One of the easier phases, she doesn't have any normal
attacks to speak of.
She does have the usual jump in the air thing that all the Phases so far
have had but on top of
damaging you, it takes skill points as well. But the
rest of her attacks all have cut scenes so you'll have a bit of a
warning.
She does do a lot of status effects, though. She will cast confusion and
her Seduction attack will cast charm
on ALL your players. The best (and only)
thing to do when she does that is to issue the "First Aid!" command as soon
as
possible and wait till it wears off.
After you data drain her, she (or should I say it?) can heal herself 400
points
at a time, so keep an eye on that. But she can't do her Seduction
anymore, so that's a plus.
The best strategy is to
have someone stand back and concentrate on healing.
Then, you and your other player can hack away at her until she protect
breaks.
Use the same method to finish her off.
In my group, I had Kite and Balmung attack while Wiseman healed. The
battle
was a breeze, but it was long (as in time wise).
You win a Segment piece from this battle.
After the battle,
Elk will appear and you will have a scene where Mia dies, or
disappears or whatever you want to call it. Elk gets mad at
you, blames
you for her death and runs off. Lios says that they have found the target
again and he wants you to go back
to OMEGA CRUEL VINDICTIVE SCARS.
You are transported back to Sigma Root Town. Store unneeded items, save the
game,
and get a group together so you can go to OMEGA CRUEL VINDICTIVE SCARS.
My group is Kite, Balmung (of course!), and Wiseman.

B4 North, North -----> To Battle
On
the first floor of the dungeon, Lios asks if you have seen Elk. Elk has
left his assigned position with the vaccine. Just
what this means we don't
know since the communication goes down.
When you reach the fourth floor, there are purple
flames on the door now, so
be sure you are ready for a fight. When you enter the room, Lios says that
the Wave has created
an antibody for the vaccine and to abort the mission.
Just when you're going to leave, Aura shows up and takes the Segment
piece
that you just won. However, after a moment, Cubia shows up.
CUBIA
My level - 75
Cubia has three
stages and they are practically the same.
The Core is what you want to attack since you'll win the battle when you
defeat
it. The Core alternates between magic and physical tolerance, so make
sure you keep an eye on that so you don't attack
without doing any damage.
When it makes all the Gomoras (it's little floating buddies), just focus on
the Core UNLESS
there is a Repth Gomora. If one appears, kill it first.
Heal any status effects cast by the Various Gomoras as soon as
you can.
All of Cubia's cutscene attacks will happen when the Core is changing it's
tolerance. They aren't too damaging
but you'll want to be sure to heal after
each one. The only difference between the three stages, besides the hit
points,
is during the last stage, Cubia's head is facing you which allows him
to use his face (yes his face) attacks. As long as
you issue the "First Aid!"
command or heal everyone yourself, you should be fine.
In my group, everyone attacked during
Physical Tolerance with magic and when
the Core had Magic Tolerance, Kite and Balmung attack the Core while Wiseman
stood
back and healed.
*NOTE* Some characters, after a magic attack, revert back to physical attacks,
which can be quite annoying.
The best way to solve this is to issue the
"Magic!" command, do an attack yourself, and reissue the "Magic!" command. If
you
do this every time, then you won't have to worry about the other
players as much.
The battle is over because, once
again, Cubia retreats (He's a sore loser).
You go back to Omega Root Town where you decide, with the help of all your
friends,
that you will resume the operation. And guess what dungeon you get
to go to? That's right. It's back to OMEGA CRUEL VINDICTIVE
SCARS. How many
times do they want you to play through this dungeon? They must really like it.
Anyways, BlackRose says
she's coming so you need to put her and one other
player in your group, store items, save the game, and go back to
OMEGA
CRUEL VINDICTIVE SCARS. I'll even recopy the information for you.
My group is Kite, BlackRose, and Wiseman. (No Balmung
because you NEED a
dedicated healer)

If you noticed, the purple flames are on the first room on B4, so make
sure
you are ready to fight before going in.
PHASE 7 - TARVOS THE AVENGER
My level - 75
I'm not going
to lie to you: Tarvos is a pain in the butt. Not only does he
have cheap attacks, he takes a long time to beat (For me,
over 45 mins!).
But if I can do it, then so can you! ^_^
Tarvos starts out with Physical Tolerance and when he does
this crying thing
(trust me, it looks like crying), he goes underground, comes up somewhere
else, and has the opposite
tolerance. (Physical to Magic and vice versa)
After he pops up, he will heavily damage one of your character and then float
around,
occasionally doing the trademark jump in the air.
He can cast sleep, speed down, and paralysis on you, so heal the status
as
soon as you can.
His cut scene attacks can do heavy damage, especially PhaAni Zot which will
kill 9 times out
of 10, so heal or resurrect the injured player immediately.
Cursed Death Play is an automatic KO, so after a stream of
obscenities come
from your mouth, revive the dead player quickly (or, if you were killed,
issue the "First Aid!" command)
and resume your attacks on him.
Eventually, he will Protect Break. After you drain him, he won't have a
tolerance, but
he can do all of his other attacks plus he can heal himself
400 at a time.
My group had Wiseman heal during Magic Tolerance
while BlackRose and Kite
attacked. During Physical Tolerance, I had Wiseman and BlackRose attack while
I healed the
group since Wiseman has strong magic attacks. At about 1000 hit
points, I issued the "Skills!" command and went all out
so he couldn't heal
himself.
It isn't easy, but you'll eventually kill Tarvos and win the Virus Core Z.
You are
transported back to Omega Root Town after the battle and see a scene
with all of the Net Slum residence (minus Spiritas)
saying something and then
leaving. As a side note, after the scene, you are the only players in the
town. Store items,
save the game, and log out.

When you get to the B5 room, you get some items from the player there that
you

came. Don't worry, you won't have to fight
the battles again. When you give
her the items, she pays you 5000 GP and leaves. After discussing the merits
of customer

Yes,
this dungeon is really ten levels. When you finally reach the tenth
level, you will see a cut scene with a rock, known
as Harold, and Aura.
During the scene, Lios will tell you that a mass of data is moving towards
you. The floor breaks
up and fall, landing on none other than Cubia.
CUBIA
My level - 90
This fight is basically the exact same
as all the others you have fought
against Cubia. However, instead of standing on a platform, you're standing on
Cubia's
roots. To your left is a glowing circle. When you run over and touch
it, a Cubia Core will appear. Just do what you did
before and keep an eye
on your health. Make sure that you kill the Repth Gomaras quickly; they can
bring the Core's
health up a lot if you aren't careful.
After you beat it, take a moment to heal your group and recover SP; the battle
won't
move on until you touch the next glowing circle. Then, when you're
ready, go touch the circle and repeat the process as
before. Do this again
and after you defeat the second one, move on to the third circle. The only
difference in this
fight is that Cubia can cast Sosom's Curse, which will
heavily damage your group. Just be sure to heal quickly afterwards.
For
the Core fights, during Physical Tolerance, I issued the "Magic!" command
and did the healing for the party myself. During
Magic Tolerance, I had
Wiseman heal while Kite and BlackRose attacked with skills.
After defeating the third Core,
the battle changes. You can walk all the way
up to Cubia and attack a weak spot on his chest. He will make some of the
Gomaras,
but, unless one of them is a Repth one, ignore them and attack Cubia.
About every 1000 damage, Cubia will do a cutscene
attack. All of these
attacks should be treated the same way- just heal right afterwards.
Think you've won? After Cubia's
hit points reach zero, he will now have 9999.
The battle is the exact same as it was before. Just attack Cubia.
In
my group, with BlackRose and Kite attacking with skills and Wiseman
healing, Cubia didn't even have time to finish making
the Gomaras before he
went into a cutscene attack. This boss is easy and your group shouldn't
have too many problems
taking him down.
When Cubia's health reaches zero again, he will fully recharge his health.
BlackRose tells you
that it is hopeless, but Kite figures out that if you
attack the Bracelet, then you can defeat Cubia. It works but now
you don't
have the Bracelet. Helba comes after Cubia's demise and calls a meeting at
Omega Root Town. You're transported
back to Omega Root Town.
Go store items and save the game. This is it. The final battle is next, so go
stock up
on items, like Resurrects (you'll need these) and Healing Elixirs.
When your ready, put a party together with BlackRose.
You have to have
BlackRose in your group or you can't move on.
My group is Kite, Balmung, and BlackRose.
During
the meeting, you decide to corner the Wave and attack, even though you
don't have the Bracelet. However, the Wave makes
the move first and attacks
you during the meeting.
PHASE 8 - CORBENIK THE REBIRTH
My level - 90
Corbenik
has three stages and they are all surprisingly easy. If Tarvos and
Corbenik had a fight, Tarvos would win, hands down.
-First
Stage-
This stage has a noticeable three move cycle.
He starts off looking like a bean. He spits seeds up that have
little counters
on them like in the battle against Magnus. The seeds' timers start at five,
but they won't cause instant
death when they go off. Instead, they just
explode and damage anyone in the immediate radius. The second time he spits
the
seeds, he will also cast PhaJuk Zot, which will probably kill one of your
party members. That's why you bought a lot of
Resurrects. Use them to keep
your party alive. After the seeds explode the second time, Corbenik will jump
around three
times, dealing heavy damage to all in the radius of the shock
waves. This move will also probably kill at least one of
your party members.
After the jumping, this cycle will repeat.
I had Balmung and BlackRose attack while I stood back
(fairly far away) and
healed. That way, if both Balmung and BlackRose died, I could bring them back
to life without
worrying about my health. This is the only stage that my
characters died frequently.
-Second Stage-
He will now
turn into a leaf.
There is no use standing away in this battle. Corbenik has a move called Cruel
Exploitation that can
get you even if you are not close. It attacks a single
character, draining almost all your HP and SP, and giving it to
Corbenik. Just
heal afterwards. He has the trademark jump in the air, can cast PhaJuk Rom,
and can do a move called
Fierce Flash. Just heal after all of these and you
won't have a problem. He can cast paralysis on all of your party. There
isn't
anything you can do about it, so wait till it wears off. He also has a move
called Malicious Quickening, which
will rapidly attack a player, so heal
afterwards.
I had all my characters attack with skills and I healed the party
myself. Just
make sure you heal right after Cruel Exploitation.
When he's almost dead, he'll suddenly have Supreme Defense.
This means he has
Physical and Magical Tolerance! Just sit back and heal (issue "Operation
Recover!" command) because
you can't do anything. You may have to attack him
to move the battle on, so just have Kite use normal attacks.
When
the second cutscene comes, Aura appears and tells you that all of the
coma victims are here helping you fight. You see
Orca, Sieg (from the anime
that comes with the game), even Sora (from .hack//SIGN). They attack Corbenik
and break his
shield, moving the battle into the third and final stage.
-Third Stage-
Now he's an eye. That's creative. Anywho,
he's a little like Cubia in the
sense that he can make these Seeker orbs. You have to defeat the orbs so that
you can
even hurt Corbenik. Just equip Prepare to Die and, while targeting
all of the Seeker Orbs, do Flame Vortex twice. Doing
that will quickly take
care of the Orbs. Then, issue the "Skills!" command and do skills yourself
(Like Red Flare with
Prepare to Die) on Corbenik. When Corbenik cries, it is
like he's doing the jump in the air, so try to stay clear of the
shock waves.
Grand Complications isn't too powerful, so don't worry and heal after the
scene. However, Vivid Purification
is powerful, putting all your party in the
yellow, at least. Heal as soon as possible after the attack.
Halfway through
the battle, the screen starts flickering and Helba says that
the server is crashing. Luckily, it comes back and the fight
continues.
If you keep an eye on everyone's health and heal them when necessary, you
should be done with this battle
in no time.
Now sit back and enjoy the ending because I'm not going to tell you what
happens. ^_^ (I personally
like Nuke getting crushed by a Grunty in the
background.)
After the credits roll, you will go back to the desktop.
You can now use Orca

OMEGA HIDDEN DARKSIDE HOLY GROUND
Level -
95
Element - Darkness
***WARING***
This dungeon is hard. It has 15 levels and has Data Bugs crawling all over
it.
Your Infection level will be red most of the time, so get used to close calls.
It is also very time consuming, taking
me two hours to complete.
Below and in the FAQs section, I have put the strategy that I used to finish
this dungeon.
If you have a better method that you think will help other
players, then please send it to me. The other strategies will
be posted in the
FAQs section.
- Avoid fights at all costs, like in the field.
- Set your party to "Operation
Recover!" and use the "First Aid!" command
at the start of every battle. With them standing back, you will always
get the last hit.
- Don't use skills on enemies unless you absolutely have to. If it has
Physical Tolerance,
the cast Dek Vorv on it. An example of a weapon that
has this skill is the Diablo Blades. By casting Dek Vorv, you
can use
physical attacks on the monster.
- Only use Data Drain. If you use Drain Arc or any of the other ones,
they
will make your Infection level rise faster.
- When facing more than one Data Bug, focus only on one at a
time. Attack
the Bug and when it Protect Breaks, kill it, and then move on to the next
enemy. That way,
your Infection level will have a greater chance of going
down.
- Even if your Infection level is almost completely
red, don't leave the
dungeon. Yeah, you may die, but you might as well get as far as you can.
You'll be
surprised how high your Infection level can go before a Game
Over. I finished the dungeon even though I thought
that I was going to
die several times.
- Don't give up. If it is making you frustrated and mad, go and do
something else. When I died the first time, I was pretty far, so I was
pissed. I waited a couple days, came back
and beat it. If I can beat it,
then you can. ^_^;
I wouldn't clear the field but you can if you want to,
though that won't be
good for your Infection level.
When you go in the second room on B1, you will see a cutscene
with Macha (from
.hack//SIGN).

Boss Battle -
DAWN WANDERER / TEMPTRESS LOVER
This battle is amazingly easy, unlike the dungeon itself. Treat this exactly
like
a battle with The Guardian. Attack using skills with Kite and the other
player and use Elk to heal the group. After you
defeat the Dawn Wanderer, it
will transform into Temptress Lover. Treat this the same way. If you use this
method, the
battle will be over with quickly.
Your prize? Mia, of course! You can now use Mia again. Watch the scene and you
also
get a bunch of new desktop images and a few movies. You're then
transported to Omega Root Town.
There's one more
dungeon to do now. This dungeon isn't hard or anything, just
fun to do. (Because of the players' conversations, that is.)
You
need to work up BlackRose's and Terajima Ryoko's affection
levels to 1000 (the highest they can go). When they're both
1000, then you
will receive an email from both of them telling you about a rare item at the
keywords OMEGA RAGING FACING
MIRRORS VIRGIN. Login, go to Omega Root Town,
put both BlackRose and Terajima Ryoko in your group, and go to
OMEGA RAGING
FACING MIRRORS VIRGIN (I love the caption for this place. "I have
a bad feeling about this...").
OMEGA RAGING FACING
MIRRORS VIRGIN
Level - 85
Element - Fire
When you get here, both BlackRose and Terajima Ryoko are surprised to
see that
you brought the other along. After the scene, clear the field and head to the
dungeon.
This dungeon
is different from the others because on every floor, BlackRose
and Terajima Ryoko argue about which way to go and you have
to make the
decision. Don't worry, both directions are the same length and difficulty. The
key to your decision lies
on which item you want at the end.
If you want the Sun Fang, a level 90 weapon for the Heavy Blade, then you will
want
to follow BlackRose's path.
If you want Subaru's Axe, a rare level 80 weapon for the Heavy Axe, then you
will want to
follow Terajima Ryoko's path.
So pick which weapon you want and follow that girl's path listed below.
-BlackRose's
Path-
B1 North, East, *North*, West, North
B2 North, East, *North*, *North*, West, South
B3 South, West, *South*,
*South*, *South*, East, North
Here, there will be a scene where the two girls have a big argument and leave
you
alone. Can't win with either one, can you?
Don't worry, though, there aren't any monsters on this floor, just
the Gott
Statue.
B4 North, East, North, North, West, North, North -----> To Gott Statue
-Terajima Ryoko's Path-
B1
North, West, *North*, East, North
B2 North, West, *North*, *North*, East, South
B3 South, East, *South*, *South*, *South*,
West, North
Here, there will be a scene where the two girls have a big argument and leave
you alone. Can't win with
either one, can you?
Don't worry, though, there aren't any monsters on this floor, just
the Gott Statue.
B4
North, West, North, North, East, North, North -----> To Gott Statue
See? They're basically the exact same. After
you open the Gott chest, you will
receive three normal Gott items. As the Statue falls, you'll receive a weapon
according
to the path you took, as well as two movies. The movies are the
same, regardless of the path that you took. You will then
be sent back to
Omega Root Town.
And that's it! That covers just about everything. The only things left for you
to
do are:
- Max out everyone's levels, stats, and affection levels.
- Raise all the Grunties and win all the flag races.
-
Finish the Item Completion Event.
- Lay awake at night wondering why they have your file saved with a data
flag.

-Side Note-
If you are interested in anime and liked the games, you may want to watch the
series .hack//SIGN.
It takes place right before the games do and it is related
to the events in the game, like Sora's reason for appearing.
Also,
the .hack//Legend of the Twilight series is (at the time of my writing
this) coming out right now. It takes place after
the games. You may enjoy
this as well.
Timeline of anime in relation to the games
.hack//SIGN - .hack games and Liminality - .hack//Legend of the Twilight
Anyways,
I hope you enjoyed this game and that this walkthrough was helpful.
