Introduction:

(A) .hack//Sign. The .hack series is a game based on a mmorpg, that takes place
in the future. This is about of course .hack//Sign. Sign is about a character
named Tsukasa who can't log out of "The World", sucks huh? So forth he is
confused if he is a girl, or a boy in the real world. Aura is not yet 'born',
thats Tsukasas's main role in general, to have the good form of Aura 'born',
and to finally log out when she is 'born'. A mysterious force is behind some
problems going on in The World. Skeith, perhaps, well you can see it all for
yourself. Not too shaby of an anime. Confusing to some people, well yes.
Eventually the pieces come together, and the fight begins, Balmung hates
hackers, which will be repeated over and over. Bah! Who cares. Anyway they
eventusally all team up to try to vanquish the evil... Right. So Tsukasa's
guardian will sacrifice itself to another gaurdian, to protect Tsukasa, and
Subaru. Aww how touching.. ack. Well the fight will beign, and Sora I think it
was is the first to fall to Skeiths data drain, and he gets a coma. Later in
the .hack series you can get his weapon. Spiffin! So, ya, see it and don't
listen to me babble, plus watching it will be better too.

(B) .hack//Infection (Background info from the OVA information 'easter egg')
The story of .hack//Infection <and future .hack game, Mutation, Outbreak,
Qurantine> takes place in the near future, On December 24, 2005. The entire
internet has stopped functioning. Simultaneously, all networked computers and
communcation control systems crashed, causing great panic and confusion. The
network was able to recover 77 minutes later. The automatic retaliatory system
of the United States began to operate erroneously and was moving to a point of
crisis. The virus creator was a mere 10-year-old elementary school student.
After the incident, the only Operating System not affected by the virus later
called "Pluto's Kiss" was the Altimit OS, which was secure enough to withstand
the damage done by the virus, it will later become the most popular used O.S.
on the globe. Additionally, there was a restriction on Networked Entertainment
because of the incident. Years later, CyberConnect Corporation began play
testing "Fragment", an online game that would later become "The World",
"Fragment" was sold to them by a dude named Harold Hewick, a German programmer,
the network council of the world lifted the restriction on online gaming to
boost the entertainment economy. By the end of the year, "The World" became
available for download all around the globe, thousands of people begin
downloading the game.

The year is now 2010,you are invited by your schoolmate, Yasuhiko, to play the
online game "The World" While playing the game both you and your friend are
attacked by an unknown monster <Skeith>. As a result, Yasuhiko becomes comatose
in the real world. Despite his friend condition, you <Kite> continue to play
The World believing you'll find a way to help your friend out of the coma, and
to determine why it happened. While playing, you accept the Book of Twilight
from a mysterious girl in white<Aura>. You are transformed into an outlaw
player within the game wielding the very same power responsible for
Orca's(Yasuhiko) condition.... and Balmung hates you.

You take on the role of the player who controls the player character "Kite" in
"The World", trying to find the explanation behind your friend's coma that is
somehow linked to that little girl and the monster that is chasing her, you
must find items, weapons and even friends to help you on your investigation and
finally confront the truth behind the game.. and Balmung will still hate
you...b/c your a "hacker"... Until.... <cue suspense music>

>>>ALSO AVAILABLE AT THE END OF FAQ<<<

NOTE: A TIP FROM ME BEFORE YOU START YOUR GAME, AND FOR FURTURE NOTICES, USE
FAIRY ORBS TO NAVIGATE YOUR WAY THROUGH DUNGEONS. IT HELPS. FOR A FUN LEVEL OF
RARE ITEMS, AND LEVEL UPS, USE KEYWORD:
STALKING SILENT FORT WALLS. IT WILL HELP YOU LEVEL UP, GET RARE ITEMS, AND
STUFF. LATER.


---.Hack//Infection Walkthrough---Let us enter the 1st chapter.---

The first time you start the game you're shown a short movie consisting that of
what appears to be an epitaph (or a prologue, like your Star Wars. Kinda...
Except it takes place here, and a little further down the timeline.

Soon after, you'll hear 'Kite' talking for a minute. Not the game-Kite but, as
if he was a person like you or me.Next you will get to choose your name both a
username, and ascreename for your character for The World. For this FAQ I'll
keep the originality of the games intentions and keep it as Kite.

Now, you'll get to see the Altimit OS <operating system>. You change the
desktop look if you want <I recommend it> by going into 'Accessory' and then
selecting one of 3 desktop backgrounds(orange<default>, red, blue). You can get
more as the game progresses.

Next read your mail, and read the news. Then, once you're ready to start go to
'The World'. Here, you can login or go to the
Message Board and view whats goin on. It's a good way to find new characters,
advance the plot, info, and other various things.

The first MB posts are basically explaining the system, and the game. Read
through them all, and get to know them well. Since you'll be accessing this for
the next 60 hours+. A few extra posts about the 'News'you may have read,
nothing much of intrest.

Once you've read the MB, head to Login. You'll start off in Mac Anu, the Delta
Server root town.


---Delta Server Root Town -Mac Anu-

Once you are warped to Mac Anu, you'll meet Orca. He'll remind you to call him
Orca, and not to call him Yasuhiko, his real life name. Then, he will go into a
short tutorial of inviting someone to your party.
Next, Orca will guide you through a tutorial about keywords. It seems a little
long but do try to bear with it. The first keyword he'll make you do is
"Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field", and your off!

---Delta Server---Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field---

Here, there will be more tutorials involving the use of camera angles,
attacking, and the chat commands in game between characters. It is recommended
you pick-up quickly on this tutorial, and not skip through it in boredom.
Painful yes, but it pays to know.

Now after the nifty tutorial, Orca will follow you around to show you the
ropes, and at a higher level (level 50)too. so go around Killing the goblins
and whatever you can. Let Orca do the dirty work...You should try to help out
maybe, but don't die over it. He can do about 5,000+ damage, not too shabby,
eh? Don't you'll get to be more powerful as time presses on.You get 60 EXP per
goblin is struck down. With Orca it's nothing to be ashamed of just don't go
and somehow die.

Once you clear the field, head for the dungeon. Yet another tutorial, this time
about treasure chests.2 free items for starting you out, whoopee!

....Yeah well, keep goin, and there will be a cutscene showing a mysterious
white girl being chased by what seems to be a 'high-level monster'. Orca will
say a remark like "There's something like that on this level?" Yeah well, its
no big deal now but it will be sometime. You should know who it is. If not well
then........ok. ONWARD!!

This entire dungeon area is really tutorial. It will get repetitive though <the
BG is what I mean.> Just get used to seeing it for a
long while of a time.

---Delta Server---Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field---B1:

Head forward, and it will become a fork. Head to the right, where the girl
went, and you'll find a dead end with a nifty Speed Charm. Where did she go?

Head out, and go down the other side of the fork. Orca will explain  about
trapped rooms and you will fight a goblin. ooh scary! Moving on go down the
stairs.

---Delta Server---Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field---B2:

It's an empty hall, keep going. Oh no! a three-way split here. Which way do I
go George? Well, I'll tell you...Ahead of you is the Gott Statue, ending the
fun of the dungeon. Yet, if you want a little bit more experience, and some
treasure first-off, head left and then right. Onward you leave the room after
getting the treasure formt the Gott Statue, there's a scene with the girl from
before. She gives Orca a book. A freakish figure appears <one chasing her from
the beginning of the level>. It seems like it may turn into a boss fight, but
wrong you are.....Orca steps in and in dismay can't get a hit in. Orca then
gets wasted, and 'leaves'. It turns its' sights on you. The book gets in your
possesion, and it wants it, no matter what. The book is known as the Key of the
Twilight (event item, nothing else of use) Soon you're 'warped out' and "Kite"
will talk, about the situation about what happened. Then, you'll be told about
stuff involving comatose and "The World". Soon you will go back on Altimit.

---Altimit <desktop>---

You will have mail explaining you can only login to the Delta and Theta
servers. Go to the MB, and Kite will post a message about Orca <he's gone
comatose, not dead>. Nothing new here really other than all that. Go login.
WOAH! You can't...Hmmm, I wonder why? Quit, you will then get mail. It's from a
lady-person called, "Au]$" <Aura>. The message is partly messed up, but it will
read:

To the one who holds the book.
Skeith is looking for me.

There is no time.
Please. Help me.

Sucks doesn't it? Well, go back to "The World", now try logging in. Nothing new
on the MB. What the hell? It works now? Wow, that's service.


---Delta Server Root Town-Mac Anu-

Once you log in, and find yourself encountered by a female Heavy Blade User <No
it's not Mimiru>. She'll Nag at you about staring at her, and ask if you're a
newbie at "The World". Kite won't answer her, so she will leave.
Walk on down a tad. That guy on your right is a Recorder. He saves the game for
you..Of course you have to talk to him. Keep on walking, off to your right,
before the bridge, the path will lead you down to a healing item shop. Buy some
items if you want. If you feel you have enough, ok then whatever. It's up to
you. Do some weapon shopping if you want to (It's located over the bridge on
the left side). Trade with some people here. Some people they have some pretty
nifty stuff, well only a few do. Others have crap.
When you are ready to go after trading, go to the Chaos Gate and examine it.
BlackRose will come along and ask you to take her to Forbidden Hidden Holy
Ground. A battle level of 7. Not a really good idea, but you have no choice, so
do so...not like anything bad will happen, right? ONWARD, HO! Oh, sorry a
little sudden flash back to Thunder Cats...Ya.


---Delta Server---Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground---

Argh, there be a big cathedral, charge it matey. A cut scene is invoked. Kite
will fight a Goblin while BlackRose will practically piss her pants....ha and
YOUR a newbie, eh? Well this will put her in her place. Another cutscene
invoked, around a statue of Aura. Who shows up to kiss ass..none other than the
man, Balmung <Balmung of the Azure Sky...Orca and him are known as the
descendents of Fiana, Orca of the Azure Sea, and Balmung of well the Azure Sky>
He comes in, lays down the law by kicking ass, and tells YOU to leave. Pretty
confindent he is, this is his standard attitude towards low-levels.
BlackRose will attack the infinite HP monster. Kite will flash back to the
scene with Orca.
Kite then hears a voice, telling him to open the book. Here, you will use the
Book of Twilight. No choice here, but c'mon you want use it, don't you? Oh
well, you use it none-the-less. Kite gains his most unique ability now. Data
Drain, plus his clothes change to red. You get a Virus Core M. Balmung then
basically hates your ass because YOU are a HACKER, also by calling you "the
same as the virus". OUCH! More cutscenes.


---Delta Server Root Town-Mac Anu-

If you want better trading items, or maybe a good weapon to have around, go on
back to "Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field". You can throw your Amateur Blade in
the Spring of Myst, <Monsuier, he'll fix'em right up!...or make them crap.>
there and get Phantom Blades.... Or you can do some smart trading with the
items you have found You could then possibly get the Shadow Blades...which have
a higher level. I dunno it's up to you, trade to your desire. Don't be stupid
like one of my friends that thought he didn't need to trade to anyone...Only to
find out that his armor, and well everything about his character sucked...Oh
well.
Trading with people I've heard is random. Well, it is and it isn't. Try to get
the Ryu book 5 volume and talk to people, it can help you out...Or just talking
to people ya..that works too....but do trade with people as if you were
actually playing a real mmorpg. Like your supposed to..Yes it is an order
private! ANYWAY ONWARD AGAIN!

---Altimit <desktop>---

So, you will log out now <you do it your-self!>, and then there will be a few
new posts on the MB...sort of. HEY Your post about Orca was deleted. How
Odd...and scary..somebody obviously doesn't like that topic, eh?
Well besides all that, there happens to be a post about a game of tag...it's a
frickin goblin...ooh sounds like a challenge, doesn't it. Well if you beat him,
yes IF, you win a lovely parting gift from the little bugger. He will give you
the keyword and demand you come alone...basically. Try it out, like it, puke on
it, piss on it, all just to 'tag' it...It gets way harder way later on. It
will, not for awhile...yes you'll notice the difference. BUT before that
happens and you go fight the good, the bad, the ugly, go check your e-mail. You
will have 2 new e-mails. One from BlackRose and the other from...Helba. Reply
however you want, doesn't matter. More news about "The World", Ok! SO MUCH
FUN!.....right.


---Delta Server Root Town-Mac Anu-

Well let us have some fun, by playing TAG, ALRIGHT FUN TO THE MAX!!First you
will have to login, and you will be back in Delta Server Root Town Mac Anu.....
hang-on a sec...Wait... Maybe you won't go yet. Hey those guys have some
intriguing, spiffy news... SO go find that 'Catgirl' and the one dude with her.
WHY it's Mia and Elk.... Who are they?? Well you'll see a nifty cutscene with
them. Elk talks some grass...pot-head!! OK, so, ya, it's Aromatic
Grass...still. Mia gets intrigued by your ultra-all-too-cool-bracelet-that
nobody-can see...whew! So ya both Elk and Kite can't see it...right...SO after
all this go play 'Tag'. Go to "Detestable Golden Sunny Demon."


---Delta Server-Detestable Golden Sunny Demon---

So you have arrived. You're greeted by the goblin Stehoney, he wants to waste
YOUR precsious valuable time with a game of 'tag'. Well, what else is the point
of coming here?
So at first chase him around, keep attacking him. If you have some trouble use
a Speed Charm. Besides that it's not difficult. He doesn't even attack you, and
if your'e complaining now...heh heh this is nothing. ALRIGHT VIRUS CRUSHING
GADGET #1..sorry..a little carried away. So yay for getting the 'Goblin Cap'
for beating him....plus 130 EXP...Not too shabby, eh Trebek?
Well now then you have a few choices here now. Find a Mandragora...Its Grunty
food..They will be seen in countless stages, there are many many kinds. So get
it now...It bounces..yes, yes it does. Go around, Look at stuff...or not,
whatever. Then, Gate Out....on your own.
Now it doesn't hurt to take TIME to level your characters up. So do so.
Give BlackRose a call via "flash mail", join your party, and your off..Where
to? Why to wherever your mind can take you as loong you can handle those
highish battle levels. After so, go read the MB. You should have several new
keywords to go to. Like this one "Expansive Haunted Sea of Sand". GO TO IT,
NOW! YA.


---Delta Server-Expansive Haunted Sea of Sand---

When you arrive, you meet another Twin Blade user. He looks like a ninja <no he
doesn't join you..sorry, he probably sucks anyway..Your better anyway, right?>.
Well anyway, he tells you he came because of the message on the MB. BUT, the
Administrator turned him away. Psh. Ass, you'll show him whats up! Go to the
dungeon, and head in. Sure enough, that guy known as the Admin. tries to turn
you away. What to do? Ignore his ass and mosie along on down.

---Delta Server-Expansive Haunted Sea of Sand---B1:

Nothing in the first room but the Admin. guy. Keep moving along, kill the
monsters, and move along some more. If youdid as I did, and as well as others,
PLUS as I thought you should do, levele up, this is gonna be a piece of
cake...yum! Move on along forward to the next room (west-ward, or left) to get
the treasure chest lying beyond the door. Now exit, go down the other path.
Follow it, you will be lead to the stairs. Get that symbol in this room, you'll
like it...maybe, next head on down.

---Delta Server-Expansive Haunted Sea of Sand---B2:

Head straight into the next room, fight, move along. Follow the path forward
again. Once at the break, turn to your left (east-ward). Get some treasure,
head back down the other path. Fight some more, move along some more, go down
those stairs....whew! Fun wasn't it?

---Delta Server-Expansive Haunted Sea of Sand---B3:

STRAIGHT AHEAD MATEY! All right no enemies.... creepy...ewie! green stuff on
the ground... You scared yet? Ya well, in the next room, you maybe..or not. So
in that next room, Kite will see a rather large monster. A "... Data Bug!"

Boss Fight: He{dhu&__er (Headhunter)
HP: ????..  250 (after Data Drain)

Well your first boss fight... Well then, this fight's pretty easy to acomplish.
Smack that thing until it falshes "Protect Break" over it. Then, Data Drain
it's monkey ass. It has normal HP like you and all now, yes! Beat the hell out
of it now, and celebrate your first big game kill. After the fight, you'll meet
Mistral, a wavemaster, who asks about your unique abilities. Well, now you're
not the player who didn't listen to the Admins. They do wonderful at their jobs
don't they? Well, she gives you her Member Address..ALRIGHT! So now your party
has expanded... But...to no avail..You can't go on and finish the dungeon.
Sucks but ah, oh well, deal with it. BACK TO MAC ANU!


---Delta Server Root Town-Mac Anu-

Well well well, looky here, a player named Piros. Who's a Heavy Axeman..
USELESS! He IS different then ALL other players that are Heavy Axemen..and yet
the only one to be an ugly one as well. He will refer to his job, later on
he'll tell you why he's different. So he asks to you watch him save a
friend....Right....Like he's gonna save someone.
Well go ahead and agree with the bugger. He'll say he'll meet you there. Do
your thing maybe save, then your off...."He of faireyes"..Ack!


---Delta Server-Indiscreet Gluttonous Pilgrimage---

Immediately when you warp there you should see the dungeon to the west of where
you start off. Just go there don't bother with the field..for now.

---Delta Server-Indiscreet Gluttonous Pilgrimage---B1:

Well still no sign  of Piros. Ok fine...Well head straight. Next at the break,
If you head right, it will lead you to a portal plus, some urns...Fun! Left is
a portal, more boxes, Golden Egg!!.....and a chest...MORE FUN! The forward path
which is where to go to find Piros...not really fun...oh well...sort
of..kinda.. The right of the split is some more treasure like goodness, and the
left is the stairs. GOING DOWN PLEASE!

---Delta Server-Indiscreet Gluttonous Pilgrimage---B2:

A thing to keep in mind, try not to fight those headhunters..you remember that
boss you fought awhile ago...ya so you were warned..by 5 million people...well
maybe not..just a tip. Anyway, ONWARD!
Go straightward, then north. Go north some more, east, east again.. portal here
as well. North are stairs.

---Delta Server-Indiscreet Gluttonous Pilgrimage---B3:

East is a portal, west is the Gott Statue...yippee! BUT! Don't forget about the
purpose of coming here...<oh ya! now I remember!....What was it again?> So head
back to the intersection, do some healing action, then go north. Fight a Rock
Head, pitiful runt, and not a Data Bug! Just kill it!! Wood is it's opposing
force, it hates it...It is earth after all so...use WOOD. Well Piros will give
you his member address... Like we care, sheesh... So now you have an axemen
with a really annoying voice, with a small head, arrogant, and greets you as
"Hark! He of fair eyes!".....Oh great! Again, auto-tele back to Mac Anu.


---Delta Server Root Town-Mac Anu-

You will notice the flash thingy on the screen of new mail. ALRIGHT! Log out,
and check it. First one is a warning about your snooping <investigations you've
"performed"..they put you on their 'list'>. Then,  some notice about winning a
contest <SWEET and what is it?>. Plus a quite likely friendly email from
BlackRose. Go! Claim that prize!
HERE WE GO! TO ELF'S HAVEN AWAY! You get a Book of Law. Its use will boost your
character level. So, give it a try already! HUH!? Insallation Error!? What the?
Character override forbidden? That's B.S.!! I want it!! After you get this
little screen, or maybe you already have, get more e-mails....OK! (I'm still
pissed about that book...son's of...ohhh!> After a few, you'll get an e-mail
from Mia, asking you to meet her to learn about your "bracelet" Really its
about gate hacking. So what to do? Why, go meet her of course! AWAY WE GO!


---Delta Server-Boundless Corrupted Fort Walls---

So you go to a dungeon....all alone. This could get a little tough. An admin.
will tell you to go away.... Again!! Bah! ha! who's he kidding! SO Keep on,
mate.

---Delta Server-Boundless Corrupted Fort Walls---B1:

Go west. North, at the symbol is some treasure, south is treasure as well, and
the continuing path. Venture east and go down...creepy...

---Delta Server-Boundless Corrupted Fort Walls---B2:

Go east, and venture your way north. In the 3-way fork, east and west both have
treasure... and north lies the way you need to go. Then west is the way to go
down.

---Delta Server-Boundless Corrupted Fort Walls---B3:

Mia will talk to you...again. So head west... Some treasure, a corpse, and then
south. fight here....venture some more. East is a portal, north from there is a
dead-end with some stuff. South is a portal, and from there, west then south.
Go to the stairs <down, ye go mate>. Near the end.

---Delta Server-Boundless Corrupted Fort Walls---B4:

I'll make it short, south, then west. North, east, south, mosey along, and Down.

---Delta Server-Boundless Corrupted Fort Walls---B5:

Short area here. Go north. Seeing purple? That says "hello mr. boss fight!" The
universal signa that means generally "Heal your wounded ass BEFORE you step in
on MY territory biotch!" I never knew monsters felt that way...ANYWAY! Walk on
through, and FIGHT!

Boss Fight: __ed^|} (Red Wyrm)
HP: ????   850 (after Data Drain)

Use your skills and any scrolls you have as much as you can. Don't get in his
range, SO stay out of it!! Just keep trying to cut his throat until you see
that all-too-familiar-and fun "Protect Break". Stop only to heal any necessary
damage. Once 'Protect Break' occurs, heh heh slaughter the bugger! So it is
done......hmm, wha!?



---Delta Server Root Town-Mac Anu-

It Auto-gates....AHH! All that hard work just to end up here. WE want that Gott
statue...It'll happen a few times, get used to it... OK so maybe a lot. Well,
anyway, Mia and Elk will both give you their member addresses. YAY! Hey now you
got 6 people (including the incompacitated Orca). Mia is a blademaster <better
than Orca probably> and Elk's a wavemaster <NOT TSUKASA!. Mia is also a hacker
due to her character design, she also happens to carry 666GP. I need a loan
please!.....OR DO YOU?
Mia will become Orca in tutorials, but in gatehacking. Gatehacking which
involves Closed Oblivious Twin Hills. PICK THE LOCK, OPEN THE DOOR, AND WOOSH!
YOUR ON....and note the awesome colors, yo....woah...heh heh... So that's what
Aromatic Grass does to you. Weeeeee!


---Delta Server-Closed Oblivious Twin Hills---

Here you have the power...to choose to level up, or....dungeon time....Skipping
along!

---Delta Server-Closed Oblivious Twin Hills---B1:

 North and north. And north. North-down. And... north? Wow. Ooh! Lemee
guess this one! North! Now there's a split. I wonder if the north path is the
right one. Well, west is a long hallway. But it doesn't go anywhere other than
to an Immature Egg. East continues past the next room, but leads to a dead end
with a chest. Which leaves... wow. North. And north-down.

---Delta Server-Closed Oblivious Twin Hills---B2:

Go north... Wow! Lookie there...at that door. Hey it's a boss door, well to the
north you go. SO HEAL <get into a pattern of so>, rest so your SP will return.
YOU HAVE THE POWER!!


Boss Fight: *tone^t (Stone Turtle)
HP: ????  1090 (after Data Drain)

It is so much easier with 3 people. OH yes it is. Elk will be near useless
until you Data Drain it. This guy seems to be
unaffected by skills and scrolls. So keep at him with Mia, and let Elk handle
any healing. Once you do Data Drain him, give the signal to use as much Wood as
you can on the bugger. He won't last long then, he'll drop like a fly...oh
ya!that's teamwork!


---Delta Server Root Town-Mac Anu-

Yay alright auto-tele.. WOW! New e-mail. Lots of new MB posts as well. Plus
some news. Stuff will happen, so log back in. HEY BALMUNG! And then Helba?
Whew! Things are heating up, 'round here! Logging back out will bring more
funness. E-mails and posts to be exact. There will be another e-mail from Aura.
Hard to read, but it's like this...

I want to be born. To live.
That is all I want.
<Something Something here.... check around, ya>
Bearer of the bracelet. Help me.
Before there are any more
casualties.

An e-mail from BlackRose enables you to head on over to Theta
server....WOO-HOO! At this point you can either go ahead and go to Theta
server. Or head to on over to look for the Spiral Edge. We'll venture for the
Spiral Edge first, but if you want to go to Theta, go ahead, make my day.

<SPIRAL EDGE QUEST HERE> At this point, only Piros and Mistral are available to
go on this lovely adventure with you. So have them tag-team along. ONWARD, HO!


---Delta Server---Raging Passionate Melody---

The dungeon be due north of current locale <where you start>. So go head north,
to it.

---Delta Server---Raging Passionate Melody---B1:

You'll enter to see Natsume waiting inside, afraid to go in for the Spiral
Edge...Why, I dunno. So head past her, north. East goes to a portal, some
treasure, jars and urns. North is a large room with 2 portals, and several
chests.... Oh so much fun! West, then south...TO THE STAIRS!

---Delta Server---Raging Passionate Melody---B2:

South. South. West goes around north to more treasure, argh matey! loot the
place. East will lead directly to more loot in the next room, and it continues
on to the east. It will then wrap to the north on to the stairs...

---Delta Server---Raging Passionate Melody---B3:

Go north, and north again. East is a portal, while west is the last portal.
North is the Gott Statue, that contains the Spiral Edge that Natsume wants, and
some lovely treasure. You can choose to give the Spiral Edge to Natsume, or
not...We all prefer you do.. She'll make a certain comment, and give you her
member address. Yay alright!! More people! Now!! On to Theta server.

---Theta Server Root Town Dun Loireag-

BlackRose will be waiting for you here. Grunty's everywhere! If you head to the
south, you can feed one to raise it. GUIDE INCLUDED ON HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT!


---Theta Server---Quiet Eternal White Devil---

This is where there was another Aura sighting. North quite a ways is the
dungeon. I'm not sure how far it is south, but that may be quicker.

---Theta Server---Quiet Eternal White Devil---B1:

North and north and north. East eventually leads to loot, but there are 2
portals in the way first. West, south, south, south is stairs, or break east
before the least south for a symbol and some loot.

---Theta Server---Quiet Eternal White Devil---B2:

Move South. South there's a portal and some treasure. East is a room of
nothing... theres a lot of 'em. One is east, AND east of there is another, then
another. North is stuff, south has a portal and treasure. Back, north, west,
and west. North is a big room with a portal. Go north again, West contains a
portal and treasure. East has a portal, then north to the stairs...WHEW!

---Theta Server---Quiet Eternal White Devil---B3:

Short area to explore here... Go north, east, east, north. Keep on going and
you'll find...  absolutely nothing!! WOW! It's a dead end....at the end of the
dungeon... that has no Gott Statue. Word...... Warp out and over to Delta
Server.

---Delta Server Root Town Mac Anu-

There will be a scene with Mia and Elk... Mia doesn't seem to understand a
basic human emotion...ok. So, Elk comes along to talk to you. He asks you to
accompany him...well rather he accompany you... to
"Plenteous Smiling Hypha".


---Delta Server---Plenteous Smiling Hypha---
Once you arrive, the dungeon is due north of you.

---Delta Server---Plenteous Smiling Hypha---B1:

Go north, east is treasure. West is a path to T2 room... North is to T1 room.
In the T1 room, east is treasure, north is more treasure, and west is to T2
room. In the T2 room, south is path to a circle room, the north path is to
treasure.... And west is to the stairs.

---Delta Server---Plenteous Smiling Hypha---B2:

A short are here...go west, north, north again.... AND AGAIN!.......see I told
you it was short.

---Delta Server---Plenteous Smiling Hypha---B3: Again... West is a portal...
Now heal before going north, it's a fun door of good thrashing!


Boss Fight: Ki/er S^&asker (Killer Snaker)
HP: ???? 1330 (After Data Drain)

Just hit the bastard...a lot. Use the "First Aid!"
command to make Elk do something, while you clobber the fool,
this enemy can do some damage, plus Elk is not useful for physical attacks you
know. Elk won't be useful until you Data Drain him. After the nifty notes of
wholesome goodness pop up... Data Drain, and eat this bugger alive. Use
"Skills!" and he will fall like no other.
Afterwards... you will be all alone... Apparently, you are under appreciated.
Oh well. They still will join you...... So log out, read the MB, check your
mail, and the news. Log back in, Mia will then give Piros a "Magic Love
Potion".... right. Looks like you'll have to find the remedy... Send out the
invitation to the other member of your choice to go with you..... and Piros.


---Theta Server---Putrid Hot-blooded Scaffold---

Find the dungeon. I really can't remember the direction I went to find it...

---Theta Server---Putrid Hot-blooded Scaffold---B2:

WHAT?! That wasn't enough!? Oh well, go south, west. Keep going on the path for
the "Custom Remedy".

---Theta Server---Hideous Destroyer's Far Thunder---

This is where the Kotetsu Sword is located... So it says...
Anyway, You'll see the dungeon in the west-ward direction of where you will
start......SO GO! I'll make this one short to go through. G'luck, ya!

south at a break for another portal and some treasure. North, to follow the
path for Gardenia... WHO LIKES GOING DOWN THESE DAMN STAIRS...

---Theta Server---Soft Solitary Tri Pansy---B3:

Go east or west. It doesn't really matter, they all go to the same place. If
you're going for the A.F.O.P. , go east. There aren't really any portals west.
I think... Oh well.. When you get to the center of it all, <like directly north
of where you started> head on up north. ANOTHER MOMENT IN THE DUNGEON, CHAISING

treasure. East is has a portal, then another portal, and then a break. South
from here is a portal and some more treasure.... North is a portal and the
stairs.

---Theta Server---Chosen Hopeless Nothingness---B4:

Follow along the path until a break. It doesn't matter which way you go, both
have 3 portals on the way to the same spot, and both have 4 chests...easy
right? Just pick one way, north or west. Either way... When you get into a room
with a portal, 2 chests, exits to the north, go south, east, and go north.

---Theta Server---Chosen Hopeless Nothingness---B5:

North, north some more and....MAKE SURE YOU'RE FULLY CHARGED! Because the next
door to the north is the last boss of this game....well..story mode-wise.



Boss Fight: Skeith
HP: ????  (after Data Drain) 4500

You pretty much just gonna need to hit the hell/shit out of the bugger. Let
your other comrades do so, and you monitor, and act when its safe, one way to
do it. Until you can Data Drain him, hit, hit, hit. Don't die, don't die, don't
die. SO set First Aid! as a priority for wavematers, or so. You do need to be
constantly on the defensive while fighting him. He can also Data Drain, don't
be suprised, y'know Orca. Well it isn't good. It takes both an Antidote and a
Restorative to recover from it, it's that annoying!. If you happen to see him
go up into the air, run, run, run. Be prepared to take damage elsewise, or die.
So Ressurect anyone, someone's definetly gonna die when he does it, and they
want to be in on the action, too. Just don't let all 3 of you die! After you do
Data Drain him, DO as before. HIT! HIT! HIT! Let your wavemaster(s) kick ass.
He does get quite a bit easier.. sorta. HE CAN STILL DO EVIL STUFF. LIKE Data
Drain or Judgement, OWCHIE!! He also jumps and it might hurt your pretty, hard
earned party into ghostly-ness. Then.... after it's all said and done... after
the dust has settled... You emerge as the ass-kicker supreme.. OR SO YOU THINK!?
OK! Watch the movie you've earned to view. Yes, watch the credits too. BUT
DON'T TURN THE GAME OFF!!! Save your game when "it" asks you. OK now read your
mail, news, now go read the MB. Well, you can either: (1) go fight the last
Goblin now, or (2) go to the hidden dungeon, and find stuff, and get the
ultimate weapon of Infection. OFF TO MAC ANU, and somewhere. Last Goblin game
first.


---Theta Server---Detestable Golden Gate---

"HOLY SHIT!", you will probably say this when you see how fast this bugger is.
Nothing impossible though! If you picked up a Bom-Ba-Ye <Data Drained from Mu
Guardians>, some Mage's Souls, and probably a lot of Speed Charms. Ok Speed
Charm first, then use Staccatto constantly or some magic spell. Then, when you
run out of SP, use Mage's Soul <see it works. If you let Martina sit there for
a few seconds, I MEAN EVEN 3 SECONDS, she'll do a Health Charm, or Regen-like
on herself. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!! It allows 17 HP every couple seconds! <like
2-3 seconds> It adds up, so don't give her the chance, kay? Once you do beat
her, she'll give you the Imp's Pin and tell you to equip the Goblin Items for
"something good" "Summon Goblin" skill aquired. Congrats you whipped her arse,
ya.


---Theta Server---Hideous Someone's Giant---

You really shouldn't take a Wavemaster with you, unless you want to use them
for First Aid! Due to the boss here is Magic Tolerant. SO maybe Sanjuro, or
BlackRose? No matter it's gonna come down to your physical attacks. NOT MAGIC!
SO ya, not magic?? yup!

---Theta Server---Hideous Someone's Giant---B1:

Follow the path north and east to go to a split. South will be a portal, while
east is treasure.
North is the right path, so follow it. At the split, west-ward way is a
treasure filled room. South are the almighty stairs.

---Theta Server---Hideous Someone's Giant---B2:

Ok South. Well, well we certainley know what to expect here. So you know what's
there, go ahead and snoop around. The last boss here is much stronger than
Skeith. Level is always fun, y'know. Or not.... Whatever... your loss, not
mine. Ok so east is some path leading to more treasure and portals... YAY!
After so, rest up!! BEFORE! going into the next room. Be prepared! <Remember
the Lion King song from way back when? (shudders) It was....(poof).


Boss Fight: Parasite Dragon
HP: ????  <After Data Drain> 9999

If you happend to bring a Wavemaster with you, tell him or her to First Aid!
Then have everyone else use Attack Skills. If you didn't bring a Wavemaster,
hang back a little, don't attack a lot. Just focus on keeping your comrades
alive for the whole fight. Get the Ultimate weapon? Now yuor done, like dinner.
ON TO MUTATION, YO!! Well, save and continue on with the story. True you can
fight him <Parasite Dragon> in Mutation. BUT WHY!?


Later........for now.

(III) Grunty Rasing in .hack//Infection
In .hack//Infection, there are 3 kinds of fully grown Grunty's to raise and
trade with. Each of course have there own statistical requirements.
Once a grunty has matured enough and is full-grown it can trade with you its
lovely items.

If for some reason you want to know how to get the Gruntys, I'll give you the
formulas:

>>>>GRUNTY RAISING IN .hack//Infection. HERE'S HOW TO RAISE THE TWO OTHER
GRUNTIES IN .hack//Infection<<<<

IRON GRUNTY--- Give the baby Grunty: 4 Piney Apples, 3 Snaky Cactuses, 12
Golden Eggs

POISON GUNTY---- Give the baby Grunty: 4 Piney Apples, 3 Snakey Cactus, 1
Invisible Egg, 11 Golden Eggs

NOBLE GRUNTY----Give the baby Grunty 20 Golden Eggs, then it'll become a
Frenchy....MON AMI! <my friend!>

Grunty Food           Location part         **Also in the game is a little
message on the MB <message board-in-game> It gives TIPS not really the actual
keywords... I found it useless in my opinion.
Name of Food:         Keyword in part:
Grunt Mints           C: Great Seal
La Pumpkin            C: Paradise
Mandragora            C: Aqua Field
Mushroom              C: Hypha
Oh No Melon           B: Destroyer's
Piney Apple           B: Solitary
Root Vegetable        C: Fort Walls
Snacky Cactus         C: Fiery Sands
Twilight Onion        B: Gluttonous
White Cherry          C: White Devil

(iv)---Affection Ratings---
You can raise the affection of a party member by giving them gifts. Their
affection is kept track in Ryu Book 5 and used to unlock goodies.
Also to see how many more new, awesome, spiffy characters you get.

Gift price range in GP.                        Affection rate increase.
0-99 GP                                         1
100-4,999 GP                                    10
5,000-9,999 GP                                  20
10,000-19,999 GP                                50
20,000+ GP                                      ??100?? Perhaps so.

In general, give them some good stuff. I gave my peoples a lot of Noble Wine,
and they love me. Not to mention, they will e-mail you constantly, but... Only
will you carry on the e-mail chain.

Another thing, for those who wonder about "where/who can I get the Hell Blades
from?" Fear not I'll add it in. You get them from trading, or sometimes a data
drain. For trading for them, look for BIG, or Sachiko. They have them. As for
what monster has them. Hell I forget. And Im not goin back into Infection to do
so. Look in the Ryu Book of Monsters. That will help you out.

~~~~FIN OF FAQ~~~~

(v) Credits and Dedication.
For us to remember: "I would like to first dedicate this FAQ to a late teacher
of mine. Mr. Mikolajczyk (1947-2003). He ment a lot to me, my fellow
classmates, and people in my community. He taught us English/French <classes>
in the most fun of a way. He was a good man; as teacher, and a friend. Had a
great sense of humor and always made us laugh... No matter what. Good Ol'
times. A Michigan State fan, fisherman, and active with poeple. He would help
you out somehow some way. A true man with many talents. His sad passing will
leave us all heartbroke, but his teachings, and kind ways will be with us
always. So long Miko... It was nice knowing you, having you as a friend, and a
teacher. You will be missed greatly." -Sat. September 13, 2003. Classmates, and
all from B.A.S., Mi. "You were the man Miko! <Au revoir, Thomas!>
Aside with that sad note, I thank fellow gamers, and their support and sense of
need to help those who have questions... Even if they seem
dumb..<Gamefaqs.com>. Bandai for the good game series, and once again Miko for
everything.
