The main characters from the anime .hack//SIGN make an appearance in the game and give
you many special items. To see the characters and receive the items, you must have
uploaded your data from .hack//Mutation and have seen the four hidden intermission
sequences at Delta: Hidden, Forbidden, Holy Ground, in which you saw the .hack//SIGN
characters (in .hack//Mutation). By viewing the four intermission sequences, you will get
four items: M:Wavemaster, M:Twin Blade, M: Long Arm, and M: Heavy Axeman. These are memory
fragments of characters from .hack//SIGN. If you do not have one of these items, then you
will not be able to see all of the characters and receive all of the items. You can view
the characters at the start of .hack//Outbreak and receive the items at the beginning of
the game. The following are the characters, what you need to see them, where you find
them, and what they give you:

Mimiru

Requirements: M:Wavemaster.

BT

Requirements: Must have seen Mimiru at all six locations.

Bear

Requirements: M:Twin Blades, must have seen BT at all six locations.

Sora

Requirements: Must have seen Bear at all six locations.

Crim

Requirements: M:Long Arm, must have seen Bear at all six locations.

Silver Knight

Requirements: Must have seen Crim at all six locations.

A-20

Requirements: M:Heavy Axeman, must have seen Silver Knight at all six locations.

Subaru

Requirements: Must have seen A-20 at all six locations. Exit Fort Ouph and return.

Tsukasa

Requirements: Must have seen Subaru at all six locations. Exit Mac Anu and return.

Note: Whenever you talk to a character six times their picture gets unlocked on
image 50. If you talk to everyone six times then the picture will fill up. Also, Tsukasa's
Wand is has very powerful spells and is good to give to a Wavemaster early on.

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.

Input the first two keywords "Chosen, Hopeless" and any last keyword to get all high level
servers, from levels 68 to 70. The enemies can get very tough and can overwhelm you on the
field. You should go into the dungeon to fight. Also. if you fight on level 70 Lambda
Server, you can get much easier opponents at very high experience and is an easy level
for the first part of the game.

Hidden Keywords are found everywhere. They are found on the Liminality DVD, the anime
series .Hack//SIGN, and even in .Hack ads. Here are those keywords (all of which are
found on the Sigma server):

All of the dungeons are significantly harder than other dungeons. Mainly because you
have to fight data bugs in just about every room. Because you have to data drain so many
you run the risk of losing experience or even a system error. When you finish one dungeon
try to get your infection level back to blue. Also, each dungeon has another hidden item
in it. These items are found in normal chests on the floor with the Gott's Statue:

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.

The DVD that is included with the game has a secret section. It reveals secrets in the
game. Enter the "Extras" menu. Press Right and select any of the options except for the
DVD credits. Press X or Enter to view the secrets.

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.

Use Balmung and Blackrose. Make sure they both know Ola Repth and Rip Maen or better, and
Kite Ol Repth or better. Have 30 Antidotes, Restoratives, Resurects, and Mages Souls; 20
Recovery Drinks and Artisans Souls; and 50 Healing Potions. Note: If you need money, go
to dungeon 66 through 68 and find Rikumarus for Heavy Blade. It is a bad weapon ,but
sells for 5,600 each. Each dungeon has about five of them. Gorre has two halves, You only
need to Data Drain one. One half is physical tolerant and the other is magic tolerant. Go
into the party commands screen and set the following: Union Battle, First Aid, and each
one individually set a target. The target should be the magic tolerant one, so that
attacks hurt it. When done, they will heal and attack. They will attack the same target
(magic toleranct). Have Kite attack. Heal with items. Note: Items are quicker.
When you Data Drain him, he will be stronger, but seldom attacks. It is recommended that
you be at level 66.

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.

Successfully 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.

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