  • Hint: Root Town: Easy Master Supreme on the Zeit Statue ranking
    Go to Root Town and put the keywords "Chronicling pagan Sunny
    Demon". Bring a Speed Charm and a few Fairy Orbs. To find the way in
    the dungeon, use Speed Charm to go faster and Fairy Orb to see your
    way. Go to the Zeit Statue. When at Master Supreme rank, you will
    get Time items.

    Hint: Master Blades
    In the last level, Data Drain the Orges and you will get a more
    powerful weapon, named Master Blades.

    An easy way to get the Master Blades for Kite is to first have
    access to the Beta server (the 0 server). It greatly helps to have a
    Grunty Flute to avoid battles. Also, you must have the Bloody Blades
    (recommended) or Ronin Blades and a spare weapon. Go to the Beta
    server, then to the gate and hit "Random". When you get a field that
    is in the range of level 25 to 30, enter. When you arrive in the
    field, make sure it is daytime and sunny. Select the overall map and
    look for a spring. If one is found, use the Grunty Flute to travel
    faster and avoid battles. If there was no spring, gate out and try
    again. Once you reach the hot spring with the Bloody Blades and are
    asked what you dropped in, say "Neither". He will upgrade you
    weapon. Continue to do this until you get the Master Blades.

    To get the Master Blades, raise a Noble Grunty. Sometimes when you
    trade with him, he will have the Masterblades.

    Get the Twinblade weapon Raitei. While in the Theta server, go to a
    level 25 to 30 area. Find a Spring Of Myst. Drop the Raitei in and
    answer "Neither" when asked if it was a Golden Axe or a Silver Axe.
    If successful, you wil now have Master Blades.

    Hint: Ryu Book
    To get a Ryu Book, use Data Drain frequently. However, do not use
    Data Drain can cause some damage to you. There are only eight Ryu
    Books in volume one. The Ryu Books keeps a record of almost
    everything. It will tell you if you broke a record. It will then
    give you a new sound or movie for your computer on the game. Note:
    Movie only works the game has been completed, and all movies are
    just some memories of what happened. Check every Ryu Book if you got
    everything for the computer. If it is red, it can not create any
    more things for you. You can only check a Ryu Book when in the
    server.

    Armor: Firedrake Mail
    Hand Armor: Miner's Gloves or Smith's Gloves
    Leg Armor: Fire Lizard
    Equipment for BlackRose, Blademaster, Heavy Blade, or Heavy Axe:
    Weapon: Claymore (Heavy Blade), Jinsaran (Blademaster, Secret Rare
    Blademaster Sword) or Sun Fang One or Kikujyumonji, Devil's Axe
    (Heavy Axe)
    Helmet: Hunter's Hood or Forester Helm
    Armor: Blaze Armor
    Hand Armor: Hands of Fire
    Leg Armor: Electric Guard
    Equipment for Mistral or Wavemaster:

    Armor: Lincoln Green (From Cima)
    Hand Armor: Air Bracer
    Leg Armor: Oak Anklet

    To defeat Skeith, distribute twenty Resurrects to each person in the
    party, then thirty Healing Drinks and twenty of Antidote and
    Restoratives. Do not distribute the Mage's Souls. Use the entire
    group at first and use skills. If Kite dies, press Square for "First
    Aid" and afterwards, just keep hitting him without skills. Once you
    get enough for data hacking, use it on Skeith and you will see his
    second form. Because of this, just do a hit and heal combo so you
    will not get major damage from the shockwave hits. Keep repeating
    this combo so you will not die. And if you do die, keep using "First
    Aid" and keep slashing away.

    To defeat Skeith easily, follow these tips. Have Blackrose and
    Gardenia in your party, with everyone at least level 32 (extra HP
    and SP). Buy a lot of Resurrects, and get Healing Potions (the ones
    that increase your health by 400). Have your character get the
    MasterBlades as a weapon, and the Scarab EarRings as head armor.
    Have Blackrose have her best weapon, the Dryad's Sword (go to Theta
    Beautiful, Hopeless, Spiral and get it from the Gott Statue). Have
    Gardenia have the Scarlet Autumn weapon (Data Drain Tetra Armor).
    When the fight begins, act as the healer and let Gardenia and
    Blackrose do skills. If Skeith Data Drains someone, it does not
    matter. Use Restoratives on him or her. After Data Draining him, you
    can come in and use the Twin Dragons Skill (included with
    MasterBlades) on Skeith. With Scarab Earrings, you can cast Rip Maen
    on a dead person, instead of using a Resurrect

    After you Data Drain Skeith, have all your characters use all their
    skills. Keep everyone's SP up using Mage's Soul. Do the same for
    your own character. Use your skills; the more complex, the better.
    Skeith, in his second form, will not move or attack if you are doing
    damage to him. It is possible to defeat him without Skeith even
    moving.

    Have everyone in your party at level 33. Stand back while they hack
    at Skeith. Use Pure Water for the Judgment attack as well Hunters
    Knights and Warriors Blood for the defense against his attacks, as
    well as damage and accuracy towards him. Collect healing potions
    from other dungeons. You need at least 25, as well as 99 Health
    Drinks, Restoratives, Resurrects and Antidotes. Have your party
    members use their most powerful weapon, which is normally the rarest
    weapon for them. Then, just let them hack at Skeith until Data
    Drained. Then, repeat the process on Data Drained Skeith.


    Use the characters Kite, Sanjuro, and Blackrose. Make sure that all
    three of them are at least level 32. When traveling through the
    dungeon, make sure that Blackrose and Sanjuro do not use items to
    heal or revive each other or your character. Do it yourself. Make
    sure to carry 40 resurrects, 150 Healing Drinks, 50 Antidotes, 20
    Restoratives, 20 Mage Souls, and 20 Warriors Blood. It would be best
    to have the Warriorblades for when you fight Skieth. Do not use
    scrolls and only use skills that come with your weapon. Do not use
    Repth -- that is what the Healing Drinks are for. Keep everyone
    constantly as close to full health as you can without wasting most
    of the drink. Then, just attack him until he is dead.

    The following is an easy way to defeat Skieth on level 1. There is a
    room to the left. Go to the room to find jars, boxes, etc. at one
    point. There is a lot of junk in this place, but there is a Healing
    Potion (not drinks) which can be very helpful when fighting Skieth.

    Hint: Poison Grunty
    A Poison Grunty requires four Piney Apples, three Snaky Cactuses,
    one Immature Egg, and eleven Golden Eggs.

    Hint: Defeating Parasite Dragon
    After you defeat Skeith, there will be two e-mails by "Roy@Bandai";
    one stating that you cleared the game and the other called "Giant of
    Heavens". Open it, and it mentions something about a "Mystical
    Giant". The e-mail will give you a Virus Core T and a new place to
    go to: "Delta Hideous Someone's Giant". The Boss is Parasite Dragon,
    Level 30, HP: 9999, SP: 305, Skill: Ranki Lei, Items: 3x
    Hyrakkidouran. To defeat this boss, you must use the following
    characters: Kite, Choice of Heavy Blade, Heavy Axe or Blademaster,
    and Wavemaster; along with these items.

    Equipment for Kite or Long Arm User
    Weapon: Dante's Blades or Hell's Gate (Twin Blade), Fiend Spear
    (Long Arm)
    Helmet: Fire Dance Hat
    Armor: Firedrake Mail
    Hand Armor: Miner's Gloves or Smith's Gloves
    Leg Armor: Fire Lizard
    Equipment for BlackRose, Blademaster, Heavy Blade, or Heavy Axe:
    Weapon: Claymore (Heavy Blade), Jinsaran (Blademaster, Secret Rare
    Blademaster Sword) or Sun Fang One or Kikujyumonji, Devil's Axe
    (Heavy Axe)
    Helmet: Hunter's Hood or Forester Helm
    Armor: Blaze Armor
    Hand Armor: Hands of Fire
    Leg Armor: Electric Guard
    Equipment for Mistral or Wavemaster:
    Weapon: Starstorm Wand
    Helmet: Scarab Earring
    Armor: Lincoln Green (From Cima)
    Hand Armor: Air Bracer
    Leg Armor: Oak Anklet

    As you begin the battle, start by using everyone's best skills at
    the dragon. However, do not use magic since the Parasite Dragon has
    Magic Tolerance. The only thing that is effective on the dragon is
    physical attacks. Use both Kite and the Heavy Blade, Heavy Axe or
    Blademaster attacking the Dragon while the Wavemaster heals you.
    Because of the last battle against Skeith, you should have a lot of
    Resurrects. Keep attacking it and heal often. The dragon can do
    damages of 400+ for the fire breath and 500 for each of the two bite
    hits. Once finished, a short intermission sequence will show Kite
    saying that the monster made the airship into a flesh airship.
    Information in this section was contributed by Stephen A. Diablos.
    Enter this battle with at least 15 Resurrects and make sure Kite
    knows Repth or La Repth. Instead of bringing in a Wave Master into
    the fight, bring in two of your strongest fighters (for example,
    BlackRose and Gardenia). When the portal with the Parasite Dragon
    opens, have Kite run away but tell the others to use attack skills.
    The Parasite Dragon will be occupied with the other two fighters and
    not on Kite. Keep having Kite heal everyone. When the other
    characters die, use a Resurrect. When the Dragon can be Data Drained
    (at about 700 HP) use Data Drain and you will get the Hyakkidouran
    for Kite.

    Get Kite and two of your strongest friends (such as Blackrose and
    Piros). Go to a shop and buy 99 Healing Potions and about 50to 70
    Resurrects. Also get some Mage's Souls and Warrior's Blood. Go to
    the Parasite Dragon. When your two friends start fighting it, run
    backwards to the bottom left or right. The dragon will stay fairly
    far away. From here, use your potions on your friends and any spells
    to help them fight. Your friends will eventually hit the dragon
    enough until you hack it.

    Go to Delta server and buy a lot of Resurrects. Do not waste your
    money on other items. Before you leave, make sure you have Piros and
    BlackRose, or Piros and Mistral. Then, go to "Hideous Someone's
    Giant" and fight your way through the dungeon. Make sure your party
    is over level 30. Once you are at the Dragon, its best to heal up
    and prepare. Do not use skills or magic. Choose "Wonder Battle" and
    "Physical Attacks". Your party will attack, but you will stay back.
    Parasite Dragon does a lot of damage. It is best for you to watch
    the battle. That way, when a member dies, you can revive them. It
    may be boring, but it is the easiest way. There is no need to worry
    about your equipment or Parasite Dragon's health and status unless
    you want to do a lot of damage. Before you make the finally blow,
    use Data Drain to get a rare weapon.(Hyakkidorran or Jinsiran). The
    experience you get is weak; do not kill it with a normal attack.

    Hint: Grunty items
    The two most annoying items to find for the Grunties are the Piney
    Apple at "hidden solitary sunny demon" and Twilight Onion at "hidden
    gluttonous melody".

    Hint: Golden Axe and Silver Axe
    Use the following trick to get a free Golden and Silver Axe. Go to a
    Monsieur level 1 and give him any moderately high level weapon or
    armor. When he asks you what you lost, tell him "Neither one". He
    will give you a Golden Axe, Silver Axe, and your weapon back.

    Go to the weapons shop in root town Lambda - L, Cultural City
    Carmina Gadelica and buy one Spiral Edge for 700 GP. Each time you
    encounter a Spring Of Myst, throw in the Spiral Edge. Monsieur will
    tell you that "With a weapon of this level, there is nothing I can
    do". He will give you back the Spiral Edge plus one Golden Axe and
    one Silver Axe every time. Note: This trick works with any "rare"
    weapon thrown in the Spring Of Myst.

    Completion bonuses
    Complete the game to unlock the following bonuses.
    Parody mode replaces the original text with joke dialogue. Note:
    This is only available in the Japanese version.

    Read the email from Bandai after completing the game for the Mummy
    Ship location. Go there to fight another Boss. Data Drain the Boss
    to get a rare weapon for Kite.

    Check the BBS to find the final Goblin location. Go there to fight
    and defeat the Goblin. Wear all the other Goblin items and you will
    be able to summon a Yellow Goblin in battle.

    Hint: Money $$$ Money
    The best way to earn money is to get charms and sell them. Put the
    ones you want in storage and the ones you want to sell in your
    inventory. You may want to keep some Speed Charms and the ones that
    effect the enemy, Paralyze, Poison, and Sleep. Most charms are level
    1,but on occasion you may find a level 3, which is worth more. You
    often have to trade for level 2, or go to tougher dungeons. The
    level 1 charms sell for 100 GP each. It is recommended that you
    complete the dungeons completely (open all the portals on the field
    and in the dungeon). When you complete this, words will appear that
    all of the portals on the field or dungeon have been opened. Run
    through the areas you have not visited and collect the items. You
    could sell your weapons, but it is obviously better if you trade
    them in for a Dante's Blade or Hell's Gate; or perhaps a Shadow
    Blade if you are still in Delta Server. If you rely on charms a lot,
    keep the ones you desire in your storage and sell the useless ones
    to the merchants.

    Hint: Defeating Martina, the last Goblin
    Bring a couple of Speed Charms and Mage Souls. Martina is immune to
    most scrolls and magics. She also heals herself 17 health points
    every few seconds. Use a Speed charm immediately. Walk up to Martina
    and hit her with a special attack (Stacatto preferred, as it
    inflicts a moderate amount of damage and does not take much of your
    SP away). Immediately run away from her. Once you are outside a
    certain range of this Goblin, you will exit battle mode and Martina
    will stop running, and stand there in place. Run up to her and
    unleash Stacatto again. She will have healed a small amount in the
    time it takes to do this, but the damage you do will be far greater.
    Repeat this process. Use a Mage's Soul every once in awhile to
    restore SP. Depending on your level, she should only take five to
    ten minutes to defeat.

    Hint: Kite: Best weapon
    To get Kites best available weapon for Part 1, Data Drain the "Mu
    Guardians" enough times. Eventually you will get the rare Level 14
    Dual Blades.

    Data Drain the Mu Guardians for one of Kite's best weapons, the
    Bom-Ba-Yee. Data Drain a Phoenix Queen to get a very powerful
    Wavemaster weapon.

    Hint: Easier game
    It is much easier if you have a Wavemaster in your party, whether it
    is Elk, Wiseman, or someone else; and also have a heavy blade
    person. This helps very much. Also keep your other members leveled
    up with you because you have to use them at times.

    Buy items such as Speed Scroll, Warrior Blood, Hermit Blood, etc. to
    have a better boosted character.

    Hint: Regain SP
    Walk around and your SP meter will refill. This is especially useful
    if you have monsters to fight next. You can just wait in an empty
    dungeon room until it refills.

    Hint: Easy battles
    Keep powering up your Wavemasters so that you can just let them do
    all the work. None of them will get hurt. Make sure to have a lot of
    Artisan's Souls.

    When you are going out to go to fields, choose Blackrose and Mistral
    in your party. They are very useful. Make sure they have strong
    weapons from .hack Part 1: Infection. Have Mistral equip Starstrom
    or Storm whatever. She will have Summonings 1 and 2 of Earth
    Yarthkins and level 2 Vulcan Fire. Also find an armor for her that
    has Ola Repth. It recovers 400 HP with anyone near the target she is
    healing. When in battle, have Mistral use the First Aid command and
    if you have to everyone First Aid.


    Hint: Iron Grunty
    The only way to get an Iron Grunty is to give the Grunty what it
    exactly wants, even as very Little Grunty.

    An Iron Grunty requires four Piney Apples, three Snaky Cactuses, and
    twelve Golden Eggs.

    Hint: Grunty recipes

    Noble Grunty: Almost anything
    Iron Grunty: Four Piney Apples, three Snakey Cactus, twelve Golden
    Eggs
    Poison Grunty: Four Piney Apples, three Snakey Cactus, one
    Invisible Egg, eleven Golden Eggs

    Hint: Getting items
    Use the following trick to get certain items needed for trade (for
    example, Cooked Bile). Remember a place that has the item and go
    there. Once you get to a place with a lot of jars or eggs/small eggs
    (usually a treasure box area), break everything. If you get the
    desired item, exit then immediately return. The jars or eggs/small
    eggs have been restored. Break everything again. Note: This does not
    mean you will get the desired item every time. Keep repeating the
    process until you have enough of those items to trade. You will get
    items that are useful, such as Healing Potions, Healing Drinks,
    Antidotes, Resurrects, and Restoratives. This is especially useful
    just before Bosses. Also, since it is free you will not want waste
    any money.

    In the beginning of the game when Orca explains about normal
    treasure chests and risky treasure chests, leave the dungeon and
    enter it again. The chests will reappear. Do this as many times as
    desired to get good items to sell or trade.

    Use the following trick to get free level 3 armor. In the area with
    Orca, enter the dungeon. Watch the "Open Chest" tutorial, then leave
    the dungeon and re-enter. The chests should return. Open them and
    repeat this until you cannot hold any more items. Use Orca's Repth
    spell when you run out of "Fortune Wires."

    Hint: Easy Piney Apples
    Go to 0 Hidden Solitary Sunny Demon. There is a Piney Apple directly
    behind you. Pick it up, then go back to town. Return and do it again
    until you have enough.

    Hint: Easy experience
    Go to "Delta, Closed Oblivious Twin Hills" to find weak enemies that
    give lots of experience points each. You should go there only if you
    are at level 20 and above.

    To gain levels quickly, buy a load of Hanged Mans and Healing items
    and enter a high level dungeon with a Heavyblade and a Wavemaster
    (BlackRose and Mystral recommended). When you enter a fight, use the
    Hanged Man on your enemies to paralyze them, then have your group
    use skills. Mystral works well because she uses the perfect attack
    on enemies to score elemental damage. When your party gets weak, use
    healing items or magic to revive.

    When in Theta server, try to get to level 16 or 17. Make sure
    BlackRose and Sanjuro (or any other strong character) is in your
    party. Use the keywords Sleepy Hot-Blooded Sea of Sand. The monsters
    here are level 28, are easy to defeat, and drop some good items. A
    good weapon to have for Kite in this area is Raitei, due to its
    Thunder Coil skill which will be strong against the Metal Goblins;
    and Stacatto on the Lead Snakoid.

    Hint: Virus Cores
    Go to "theta bursting passed over holy ground". You can get Virus
    Core Bs easily by Data Draining the Squilla Demons. This area is
    level 16.

    Hint: DVD Timeline gallery instructions
    Insert the DVD, then select the "Data" option at the main menu.
    Highlight the "Main Menu" option, then press Right, Left to view
    instructions on how to use the Timeline gallery.

    Hint: Difficult levels
    Go to the Chaos Gate then enter one of the following new keywords.
    "[ all data]" for Closed Oblivios Twin Hills, level 22, "Collapsed
    pagan march" for level 26, "Caressed silent melody" for level 26,
    "Quite gluttonous fiery sands" for level 24, "Lonely hot-blooded
    sunny demon" for level 27, and "Lonely hot-blooded melody" for level
    30.

    Go to the "Putrid primitive sea of sand". It is level 19.

    Enter Great and silent as the first two keywords and then anything
    else. It is all level 30 areas.

    Hint: Easy level up
    Put in a random keyword until you find a significantly higher level
    than yours (use Kite only) and make sure what element it is. Once
    you reach the server, use Speed Scrolls, Warrior Bloods, etc., and
    items such as Burning Oil, Well Water, or magics to raise element
    damage. Use a Hermit Blood on Kite and raise his element damage with
    an item/magic (whichever element is needed). Encounter an enemy with
    the opposite element and you
    will do heavy damage. After you level up, bring your other
    characters to the stage. You will notice that they also grew in
    levels by a bit. Use the same strategy (if needed) and raise their
    level as well

    Hint: Grunty keywords
    As keywords in the Grunty place, put in "Chosen Hopeless" then
    whatever you want. There will now be some level 30 places.

    Hint: Defeating Skeith
    Buy many Resurrects, Healing Drinks, Antidotes, Restoratives and
    Mage's Souls. Have your party at least at level 30. Take a person
    with a lot of damage in your party, and equip the best equipment
    there is, as follows:
    Hint: Iron Rod
    Almost everyone wants an Iron Rod. Buy as many Iron Rods as you can
    and trade them with almost anyone. Even if they are not a
    Wavemaster, they should accept the trade. Note: This was only
    attempted in the first Root Town. The most you will need for one
    trade is twenty Iron Rods. Some people only want certain items, such
    as Pure Water, and will only accept that item for a trade.

    Hint: Summons
    A level 1 summon for each type of element can be found in dungeons
    level 29 and 30, for the listed element. They are not as
    powerful as level 3 magic, but they seem to not miss the targets.

    Hint: Dante's Blades
    Get the Twinblade weapon Hell's Gate, then in Theta server, go to a
    level 25 to 30 area. If you find a Spring Of Myst, put them in. When
    asked if it was a Golden Axe or a Silver Axe, answer "Neither". If
    successful, you will have Dante's Blades.

    Hint: Defeating the Goblin Kings
    Going through a set number of events, a message will appear on the
    board called "Let's Play Tag". In this message, there will be a
    Golden Goblin challenging you to play tag. Go to the area instructed
    and try to defeat him. When you win, he will tell you how he is just
    an apprentice of the four Goblin Kings. Later, you will get
    extensions of the challenge note from one of the four Goblin Kings.
    To defeat them, get close enough to use a multi-hit attack, such as
    Tiger Claw or Staccato, after using an item or technique to raise
    your accuracy. Otherwise, most of the hits will miss. Repeat this a
    few times and you should defeat them easily.

    To kill the last Goblin without having it heal itself, bring some
    Mage's Souls and Speed Charm. First, use Speed Charm to go faster.
    When you get close enough to the Goblin, use skills. When you run
    out of SP, use Mage's Soul to regain it. Keep doing and that Goblin
    will not have time to heal.

    Hint: Upgrading weapons or armor quickly
    You need to be at the 0 server and have the Grunty Flute. Go up to
    the portal, make sure you have the items on you and are not using
    them, hit "Random" a few times until you get a high field level (25
    to 30) and warp. As soon as you are on the field, look for a pool
    symbol. If there is not one, leave. If there is, stay and pull up
    your menu. Go to "Key Items", then "Grunty Flute". Run to the pool
    symbol. With the flute, you will not run into any of the portals. Be
    careful, as there are some people just walking around. Check before
    getting off the pig thing. Go to the pool and throw in your items.
    He will appear and ask you what you dropped. Say "Neither". He will
    spin and give you better or worse items. If you save just before you
    do this, quit if he gives you worse items and try another area. Save
    the game after he gives you a better item.

    Go to a high level area of 25 to 30 and find a Spring of Myst. Make
    sure you have a strong weapon such as Bom-Ba-Ye, which is acquired
    by Data Draining Mu Gaurdians. If it is sunny, throw in the weapon.
    Save the game before this is done. Choose either "lost a Golden Axe"
    or "Silver Axe" and Grandpa or Monusier will make the weapon two
    levels stronger. Go to town and save the game. Do this again to get
    the weapon to a very high level.

    First, get a powerful weapon that you can hold. Unequip it and go to
    a high level area. Go to a stream and throw the weapon in there. You
    will either get a more powerful weapon or your original weapon back
    and a golden and silver axe. If it does not happens, go to a higher
    level area with a stream.

    Hint: Ultimate weapons

    Twin Blade: Hyakkidorran (Data Drain the Parasite Dragon)
    Blade Master: Jinsiran (Data Drain the Metal Goblin)
    Heavy Blade: Dryad's Sword (found at Theta Beautiful Hopeless
    Spiral), Shikisokuzeku (Data Drain the Goil Menhir), or Sakabatou
    (Data Drain the Hell Hound)
    Heavy Axe: Devil's Axe (Data Drain the Phoenix Queen or Mystery
    Rock)
    Wavemaster: Dark History (Data Drain the Phoenix Queen) or
    Starstorm Wand (trade with at Theta Server Root Town)
    Long Arm: Scarlet Autumn (Data Drain the Tetra Armor)
    Alternately, for Heavy Axe: Axe Bomber (Data Drain Red Scissors),
    and Wavemaster: Jester's Wand (Data Drain Wood Stock).

    When you find Twin Blade weapons that have any elemental attack
    (preferably the spin type ones), keep them. They can be useful if
    used properly. If you encounter an enemy with the Earth element,
    then pull out that weapon and use Splinter-Slash on him. It is much
    more effective because you will always hit for about 100, and with
    an elemental attack it will hit them about ten times with 200+
    damage. The same applies for Wavemaster weapons. Make sure to have a
    variety of attacks for every situation.

    Hint: Revive characters
    If your characters are dead (such as Kite) and you cannot revive
    them, press Square and choose "First Aid". One of your characters
    should revive them.

    Hint: Charms
    You can get a lot of charms from places. The Moon, which puts people
    to sleep and The Hanged man, which paralyzes people, can be used on
    the Gob Kings. Then you can go over there and just hack at them.

    Hint: OrcaAxeman
    Use this trick to get good party members. You must have a party of
    Piroshi and BlackRose. Level up to at least level 20.Go to stages
    like theta, hidden, bursting, remnant. If you are very skilled, then
    go to theta, chosen , hopples, ( ) .Keep doing this and Piros will
    have 1050 health like Orca.

    Hint: DVD special keywords
    The OVA that comes with the game has hidden keywords to help you.
    The only one that has relevance is "Chosen Hopeless Nothingness",
    which is where you fight the final Boss. If you turn on subtitles,
    you will find keywords throughout the DVD. Some include "Luscious
    Her Remnant", "Hideous Organ market Scaffold, and "Dog Dancing
    Passionate Tri Pansy". None of them are that special, but in "Delta:
    Hideous, Organ Market, Scaffold", if you reach the statue of Gott at
    the end of the dungeon you will get an Ice Block that is used for
    trading.

    Hint: Chaos Gate: Extreme difficulty field
    At the Chaos Gate, choose "New Keyword" and put "Putried Primitive
    Melody" for extreme difficulty (battle level 17).

    Hint: Spring Of Myst
    Through a weapon or armor in it while it is sunny and it will gain
    two levels. If it is at sunset, it will gain one level. If it is
    raining, it will go down by one level.

    Hint: Blackrose: Best weapon
    The strongest weapon you can get for Blackrose or any Heavy Blade is
    a Blaze Sword. You can get it by Data Draining the Hell Hounds in a
    Level 28 to 30 Keyword, such as Voluptuous Geothermal Paradise.

    Hint: Escape from battles
    When you are in a fight, point the camera away from the enemy and
    run in that direction. Do not stop running until "Battle Mode Off"
    appears and the enemy sign disappears. Be careful not to run into
    other enemies or other portals. Note: This does not work on Bosses.

    Hint: Thunder Cloak
    Look for someone named Tim. He may be a Wavemaster wearing a green
    outfit. He has an item for trade called Thunder Cloak. It is a level
    31 armor, and has the power to revive dead players so you will not
    need to use Resurrect potions all the time. It also has other
    powers.

    Hint: Defeating Goblins
    Have some Wood magic equipped. Start the match, wait until the
    Goblin runs, then sits still for a moment. Then, use the magic.
    Goblins are all weak against Wood; two shots will kill them.

    Hint: Recommended weapons for Kite's party
    The following items give a good amount of skills and have great
    stats. These items are all won by Data Drain, trading, or being
    found.

    Hint: Giant Hill
    To get the rare heavy axe, Giant Hill, Data Drain the enemy Mantis
    in places at levels 26 to 30.

    Drain the Mantises at (Theta) Sinking Haunted Twin Hills. You will
    need to drain ten to twenty Mantises, but will get one or two Giant
    Hill axes in the process.


    Hint: Well Waters
    The best location to find Well Waters for trading with people such
    as Alicia is (Triange) Boundless Corrupted FortWalls. This is the
    area given to you by Miu to go to alone. Go there and get to the B5
    level. Their will be a plus sign set of rooms. In the left room are
    six crates and six barrels. The right room has six crates and six
    barrels. Break all twelve of them and run in between the two rooms.
    You will average 1.2 Well Waters per room.

    Hint: Secret rare weapons
    Data Drain enemies and on rare occasions, you will get a secret
    weapon. Each secret rare weapon lowers one or more stat parameter by
    -10.

    Secret Rare Twin Blade: Hyakkidorran (Data Drain the Parasite
    Dragon)
    Secret Rare Blademaster: Jinsiran
    The best weapon is acquired by Data Draining the Parasite Dragon on
    the airship. It does more damage than the Bom-Ba-Ye, is less
    accurate, but has more skills and magic power.
