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.

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

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.

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:

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

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.

Finding Rusty Nail and Kagayuzen:
To find these two items, you must go to the Gott Statue at Delta: Voluptious, Her, Remaint.

Finding Soul Blades and Ceramic Helm:
To find these two items, go to the Gott Statue at Theta: Dog Dancing, Passionate, Tri Pansy.

Finding the Ice Bar:
To find the Ice Bar, you must go to the Gott Statue at Delta: Hideous, Organ Market, Scaffold. NOTE: This is used in .hack//Mutation Part 2.

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.

Gold and Silver Axes:
If you want to get a golden or silver axe, warp to a stage with a mysterious pool of water. You can throw in armor or weapons for level up, or recieve a free golden or silver axe.

To get the axes, take any weapon or armor and throw it in the pool. A water drop monster will come out and ask you if you want a gold axe, a silver axe, or neither. Say, "Neither".

If the weapon or armor you throw in hasn't reached a certain level, the monster will upgrade it; however, if your weapon can't grow any more, you will get a free gold and silver axes as well as get your item back.

This trade works better if you throw in a silver or golden axe in the first place and tell him you lost neither. A great way to build up your gold/silver axe stockpile, sell it for money, repeat.
