.hack Part 2: Mutation Cheats

  • Game Name: .hack Part 2: Mutation
  • Platform: PS2 Cheats
  • Hits:
  • Date: 07/03/2008
  • Hint: Easy experience
    If you are level 30 or more, go to a place 40 or above. Keep using
    magic skills to gain levels very quickly and easily.

    If you are at or above level 40, go to Lambda: Chosen Hopeless
    Nothingness. The monsters here are easy to defeat.

    Hint: Getting items needed for trade
    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.

    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: Drain Arc
    After obtaining the last Ryu Book (Ryu Book VIII), Data Drain a few
    more times to obtain Drain Arc, which allows you to Data Drain
    multiple enemies at one time.

    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: Defeating the last Boss
    After you go to Net Slum, you can fight the last Boss. You have to
    kill the leaves that it drops. Hit it until it breaks and Data Drain
    it.

    Hint: Golden Axe and Silver Axe
    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.

    Hint: Hidden meetings
    You can do this at any time, but you may want to do it early. Go to
    Delta:Hidden, Forbidden, Holy Ground. This is the same place from
    .hack: Infection that BlackRose invites you to, and the first place
    you met Balmung. When you go through the doors, an intermission
    sequence will begin and you will see a meeting with the characters
    from .Hack//Sign. It is also the same scene from .Hack//Sign where
    Mimiru and Bear think Tsukasa is a girl. When the scene finishes,
    you will receive M:Wavemaster to your Key Items and a Golden Grunty
    under the Books section of your items. The Golden Grunty raises your
    Max HP by 30 and the M:Wavemaster is a line that Tsukasa says from
    the anime.

    After the scene with Subaru, Silver Knight, Bear, Mimiru, and BT,
    you will see another scene from .Hack//Sign. This time, it is the
    meeting between Crim and Sora. After the scene, you will get the
    M:Long Arm added to your Key Items and another Silver Grunty which
    raises your Max SP by 15. You can see the first scene at the
    beginning of the game, but you have to wait until you finish other
    events before going back to see more.

    If you go back to Delta: Hidden, Forbidden, Holy Ground after the
    scene with Sora and BT, you will see another scene from .Hack//Sign.
    This time it is the meeting between Subaru, Silver Knight, Bear,
    Mimiru, and BT concerning Tsukasa not being able to log out of "The
    World." After the scene, you will receive M:Heavy Axeman and another
    Golden Grunty which raises you Max HP by 30.

    Hint: Easy monsters
    Go to the Lambda server and enter the key words *Bitter, Hopeless,
    Spiral to find amazing monsters that are easy to defeat.

    Hint: Defeating Cubia
    At one point, you will get an email from Aura that is as always
    garbled, but she will mention Cubia in it and Kite will mention the
    name. immediately stock up on magic scrolls , spells, and magic
    armors . You will be forced to take Mistral along for this, but this
    is a good thing. Your other character should be a powerhouse such as
    Blackrose, Gardenia, or Piros. When you reach the bottom of the
    dungeon, you will be attacked by Cubia. The actual boss here will be
    Cubia Core, which will spawn other variations of Cores such as Repth
    Core. This should be your first priority. The Repth Core holds 1,000
    HP. This must be killed first or it will heal Cubia for 400 Hp at a
    time. After you kill it, ignore the others and order your companions
    to use magic on the Cubia Core (which holds 5,000 HP). After about
    1000 damage it will launch a powerful attack. You should immediately
    heal yourself, then order your companions to attack the Repth Core
    again with physical attacks this time. Then once again, attack Cubia
    Core . You will need to repeat this multiple times. Remember to
    alternate between physical and magical attacks after he launches a
    powerful attack.

    Hint: Easy weapon power up
    Go to the Chaos Gate at the third server and choose to write a new
    keyword. The first two words can be anything, and for the last word
    enter "sea of sand". You will always get a power up spring and the
    weather will always be sunny. Take a weapon and power up it until it
    cannot be more powerful. Note: It is recommended that you to take a
    high level keyword, like 42 and above, and that you have the Grunty
    Flute to avoid encounters with very powerful monsters.

    Hint: Key Axe
    If you completed .hack Part 1: Infection and finished the OVA
    Keyword dungeons you should have an Ice Bar. If not, go to Delta:
    Hideous, Organ Market, Scaffold, and when you reach the Statue of
    Gott you will receive the Ice Bar. Go to the Root Town and look for
    a player named Panta. You trade the Ice Bar to him for a Level 38
    Key Axe.

    Hint: Defeating Goblins
    Keep going out of battle mode and the Goblin will stop and wait.
    Then, run towards him and he will run straight at you. Then, all you
    have to do is slash him. Keep doing this and you will win easily.
    Sometimes if you run from him, he will chase you. If this happens,
    do a quick turn around and slash him, then run out of battle mode to
    make him stop.

    Hint: Bony Grunty (Lambda Server)
    Feed your little Grunty: 4 Cordycep, 1 Mandragora, 2 Piney Apple, 1
    Snaky Cactus, and many Golden Eggs until it is an adult.
    Information in this section was contributed by mk_ninja.
    Hint: Snakey Grunty (Lambda Server):
    Feed your little Grunty 2 Cordycep, 2 La Pumpkin, 2 Mandragora, 2
    Twilight Onion, and 16 Golden Eggs.

    Hint: Defeating Martina R
    After you defeat Magus (the last Boss), the message board gets
    updated and you are challenged to another round of Goblin Tag. Go to
    the Root Town and look for a player named Koji. Trade him whatever
    you can for a Beast's Bane. Go to Lambda: Detestable, Vengeful, Gate
    and you will start the fight with Martina R. You will notice that
    physical attacks do very little, if you can even hit her, and no
    magic can hurt her. Use the Beast's Bane and it will lower her Magic
    Defense significantly. If you have the Fishskin Twin Blade weapon
    (obtained by Data Draining the Squidpod enemy) you can use Merrows.
    Using Merrows one time should knock about 1,000 HP off of Martina.
    Use it a second time to finish her off. After the battle, Martina
    gives you the Imp's Praises Key Item. Once again, equip all the
    Goblin Armor on Kite and he will be able to summon level 2 Goblins.

    You can also buy the Beast's Bane in the Delta and Theta servers,
    which makes it easier than searching for Koji.

    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: Hidden dungeon
    After you defeat Magus (the last enemy), you will get two e-mails
    from RIKA@Bandai.com. One just tells you that you can convert your
    game data into the next .hack. The other one gives you a hidden
    dungeon. Restock on healing items and Resurrects when you log on and
    give your characters the strongest armor and weapons you have. Mia
    and Wiseman also are finally able to join your party. Take Wiseman
    (Elk or Mistral will do just fine) and someone with good attacks.
    Give Wiseman better armor (something that lets him cast Ola Repth
    and Rip Maen recommended) and a good weapon (Great Elite or Rod of
    Pattern recommended). After fully prepared, go to Theta: Bitter,
    Fantasy, Mirror World. Use the Virus Core U you received earlier to
    hack the Gate. The dungeon is level 50; make sure everyone is at a
    high level. When you reach the door with the purple flame, a Boss is
    behind it. Heal your characters and recover their SP. Head to the
    magic portal and you will fight Agnomen. Angolmere is an easy Boss
    if you know the correct tactics. Have Kite attack a couple of times
    and retreat so the Boss will not hit you. Send your attacker to
    attack and use skills. He or she will most likely get killed
    frequently; use Resurrects to revive them. Set Wiseman to First Aid
    and occasionally switch him to use magic. Angolmere only attacks one
    character at a time. This lets you attack him as he is barraging
    your other character. Keep Wiseman healing, and when he gets low,
    use a Mage's Soul on him. When Angolmere gets a little more than
    halfway past his health, he Protect Breaks. Use Data Drain and you
    will receive the Crimson Raid Twin Blade weapon. Also, after you
    kill the Death Head that he becomes after Data Drain, you receive
    the Lucky Shoes which allows the casting of Rig Saem and Rig Gaem.

    Hint: Defeating House Golems
    You can defeat a House Golem by having a Wavemaster repeatedly use a
    level 2 Tornado skill (element does not matter); or go to the Delta
    or Theta servers and buy lots of Warrior Banes. Use it on the House
    Golem and he will no longer be physical tolerant. Note: Always have
    a Wavemaster and/or lots of healing potions, Mage's Souls, and
    Resurrects.

    Hint: OVA Keyword
    In the OVA that comes with the game, there is a hidden Keyword shown
    while Mai is on the computer: Lambda: Capricious, Unending,
    Corridor. When you reach the statue of Gott at the end of the
    dungeon, you will get Chinese Food. Go back to the Root Town and
    look for a player named Annri. You can trade the Chinese Food for a
    Super Wufei (a very powerful spear for either Nuke Usagimaru or
    Gardenia).

    Hint: Grunty racing
    When you are Grunty racing, make sure you save any progress you made
    in the game. First, get a lot of practice by not worrying about
    wasting all your money. Then, reset the game without saving to get
    your money back. Do not save if you place first. If you wait until
    you get very good, first will be easy. Instead, try to place a half
    to one second past second place so that you can get up to three
    Silver Gruntys. Do the same thing for first place to get up to three
    Golden Gruntys.

    Glitch: Grunty shadows
    When in a field and you are riding a Grunty, look at its shadow. It
    should look completely different from the Grunty itself.
    Information in this section was contributed by ssgokugold7.
    Grunty the Kid 2 on the Lambda server looks different when you look
    at his shadow. He has large bull-like horns when you view his
    shadow.

    Look at the shadows of the Grunties in both Theta and Lambda
    servers. You can see a Grunty shadow with horns and you on top. This
    happens with both the stray Grunties and the Grunties that you own.

    Hint: Getting good weapons
    Visit your Grunty to get good weapons that might help. Just go to
    Lamda or the first place where you raised your own Grunty then talk
    and trade.

    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.

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

    Hint: Rare weapons
    If you Data Drain monsters, you can either get Virus Cores or
    weapons/armor. Most high level monsters have very rare weapons and
    strong armor. Most of these monsters are above level 45; be careful
    when fighting them. If you do not receive the item, keep Data
    Draining that monster. However, do not Data Drain too much where you
    are in danger of system crashing.

    House Golem: Laevateinn (Heavy Blade)
    Wander Demon: Rod of Pattern (Wave Master)
    Mad Witch: SWORD (Blademaster)
    Harpy Queen: Great Elite (Wavemaster), Jishuwen (Long Arm)
    Easter Rock: 8 Key Guardian (Heavy Axeman)
    Squidpod: Fishskin (Twin Blade)
    King Worm: Bureido (Blademaster)
    Angolmere: Crimson Raid (Twin Blade)

    Hint: DVD secrets
    The DVD that is included with the game has a secret section. It
    reveals secrets in the game. Highlight the gallery of pictures, then
    press Right. The pointer will disappear. Press X or Enter, then
    scroll right and left between secrets one to ten.

    Hint: Data Drain warning
    When you Data Drain, do not use it as often as you would have in
    .hack: Infection. The viral infection has spread almost twice as
    fast and is much more dangerous to Kite. To lower your viral
    infection significantly, go to an area in Delta server, then defeat
    all the monsters in the dungeon and field. Note: This also helps in
    Gott statues, treasure boxes, crates, skeletons, all field portals
    opened, and all dungeon portals opened for the Book Of Ryus.

    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.

    If you go back to Delta Hidden, Forbidden, Holy Ground after the
    scene with Tsukasa, Bear, and Mimiru, you will see another scene
    from .Hack//Sign, where Sora asks for BT's member address. After the
    scene concludes, you will receive M:Twin Blade for your Key Items
    and a Silver Grunty which raises your Max SP by 15.

    If you are lucky enough, you will get a message on the board for
    Mimiru and Bear. It will then say a place where they will meet. At
    the end of the dungeon, you will see Mimiru actually there (not in
    memory fragment form). She will then give you heavy blade called
    Mimiru's Sword before leaving.

    Glitch: Character Data shadows
    Go over to the cliff just off the bridge on the way to the Grunty
    Shop in Theta server. It will be on the right side of the cliff if
    you were to face the Grunty Shop. Your shadow will show your legs
    right side up on the side of the cliff instead of your head. This
    appears this way for all characters. In Delta server, the end of the
    bridge on one side shows your legs right side up for all characters.


    Hint: High level fields
    In the Lambda server, if you type in Chosen, Hopeless, (and another
    keyword) you will get fields that range from level 48 to 50.
