  • Man when i was little and has this game i got to here and in my little naive mind i didn't stand a chance against Skeith.

  • where did you get the rare weapon that you have? i have infection and have beat it multiple times, but i was wondering if you could give me the locations of some really awesome rare items?

  • I remember this game I never got far in it tho D:

  • skeith only problem is that he can kill you in one hit

  • Wonder why everyone seems to be having a hard time with Skeith. Never played Infection, but from Mutation and on the bosses were challenging but never really deadly like this one apparently is.

    Are people just underleveled or is he just ridiculously overpowered?

  • @NeoTStyle rediculously overpowered.. lol.

  • Watching this really takes me back. I remember trying to use Twin Dragons on Skeith for the first time. He one-shot me for 660 damage.

  • I don't think this battle is really hard. Just long. Buy 99 Resurrects, Antidote, and Restorative. Give 33 of each to your other two party members, hack and slash until dead.

  • Skeith... is the most DISTURBING of the 8 phases... besides maybe Corbenik the Peanut lol

  • @contradiactorying: Thats your word.

    Well my own information. IM NOT DEAF YET. HaHahhhAhhahah

  • 8l his battle was SO EASY! Everyone on the internet terrified me into thinking it was hard but then it was over in 5 minutes and I just sat their gaping at the screen thinking "that's it?"

  • @pig3292 He is hard. That's a fact. 

  • @azwi186 Hard if you don't prepare I suppose...but it was the easiest thing in the world for me. I never even died in it

  • I miss this game took me 3 times to beat him. Lol

  • I used to play this ol game. It made little sense. Im not a huge fan of how your playing because you spend to much time in the menu's =/ I got bored watching.

  • THIS IS NOT THE FINAL BOSS! the mandatory boss, yes. but it's not the final boss!!!! after you defeat skeith. u get a few emails from bandai, giving you new keywords and i think a virus core. go to the keywords given (i think its Chronicaling Someone's Giant. im really not sure though...) THAT is that last boss!

  • u alway pause this game u make it more lame or the game is lame

  • lol i remember when this game and the other parts used to be good also, this boss was pretty bad imo he was easy to defeat.

  • Comment removed

  • i hated fighting this guy

  • Pressed pause all game. LAme

  • I used Gardenia instead of Elk :D

  • @TheLuvnarg There was an attempt at having online multiplayer for the original PS2 .Hack series, but it sort of didn't go anywhere.

    I would think that if they were to create an online version of this game today that it would do pretty well or at least be super fun.

  • Rofl, I was the healer, and everyone else was DPS.

    I was too scared to confront him.

  • Man i remember playing this game when i was in 5th or 6th grade, now im about to be a junior in college...good times. Anybody know of any release plans for it on ps3??

  • this game used to scare the shit out of me because of it's atmosphere. xD

  • God... Skeith was a bitch....D:

  • Very hard boss. I didn't use scrolls 9001 to beat him though... then again it did take me 9001 times to beat him...

  • Soo cool, the Skeith, so frightening... Remember how my hands were trembling during the fight... Great design and great music.

  • i remember this, was lvl 30-31 and went in there, no shit it took like 10-15mins to beat it, one of the hardest video game bosses in my honest opinion. Thumbs up if you agree. 

  • Shit theres a lot of menu scrolling to do there.

  • umm sorry but what is this cursed wave and it being the first boss....

  • i got this game from my dad through a friend of his. i gotten to level 22 and right past the part where you and black rose follow the fake lead and gave up on it and sold it because now matter how hard i tried i just couldn't find any monster that had the virus cores i needed. and my sister deleted the memory

  • ah cool game What i am playing i now ehehehe,know if, after the quarantine there are more history?

  • 1:43

  • which level where you? i lv 30 not enough i guess this guy was so goddamn hard!!

  • This game holds a special place in my heart. the storyline is great and the boss battles are awesome as well, especially the skeith boss battle,it's tough but fun.

  • That was the only problem with IMOQ, the battle system being too menu driven. Which GU managed to get right, but thing is with GU, it did the exact opposite. Great Combat system, mediocre story.

    IMOQ is better than GU though, simply cause of the storyline being that much better.

  • i was considering this because i watched the anime and thought it would be fun, i won't harass the graphics or storyline. But really? I would kill myself using a battle system like this....

  • @WateryIce54321 yeah i know the battle system looks really annoying and tedious but thats because this boss fight is soooo intense took me like 50 tries , its not always like this :P

  • LOL. I fainted when I fought skieth for the first time.

  • Comment removed

  • @ShiningGlory I killed it in first try! Kite, Mistral & Blackrose were Lvl. 32.! I set data Flag. But in MUTATION it keeps saying "No Flag for INFECTION"? Can you Help?

  • @ShiningGlory

    Some people faint. Others get so excited. I did. Of couse, I DID fail. I mean, the moment of Aura's death left me stunned, THEN the fight against Skeith, which I actually expected WAY back in the beginning when Orca was data drained, but right now it happened, I don't know what hit. I was just overwhelmed by the craziness.

  • should i buy the series? i really wanna play for the storyline mainly to know what happened but just the menu scrolling while you battle is a little confusing for me. its similar to the final fantasy XIII right now where everything is real time except this seems a LOT more hardcore. i'd love to play this but i wanna make sure i'm not wasting my money. please comment soon

  • @ContradictoryLilac My 2 Cents: Granted the graphics are dated but I felt the games were worth it for the engrossing storyline and crazy battles. The game does consist of alot of menu driven commands and to get your characters to fine tune their attacks during difficult battles. I wouldn't go out of my way though if the games themselves command outrageous prices. Getting all four games might be difficult. I had to comb ebay for the fourth title when i first got the series six years ago.

  • @mev1978 I found Infection laying on the ground in the parking lot.. seeing the game in amazing condition.. I took it home.

    I played this game and said..

    "What cold-hearted person would let such an amazing game stay in the middle of a parking lot?!" It was in it's original covering and everything, Though it was faded a good deal.

    I believe it was out there for a while. It was soaked from rain over the time.

    Then I found Mutation from a old friend of mine...

  • @mev1978 (contind. from other comment, sorry)

    He lost the game, in its original case also.

    I ended up tearing his house apart, and putting it back together.

    No lie.

    His room was completely empty except for the bed, TV, TV Stand, and Dresser.

    I finally found his game. It was INSIDE of the wall of his room. How I found it there; I'll never.. ever.. know.

    I only know it was there because I busted the wall open by accident. <- Ended up not getting in trouble for that.

    Yeah, I love .hack too much.

  • @mev1978 theres 7 dothack ps2/xbox titles

  • @ContradictoryLilac

    This game series is definitely recommended to all you RPGers.

    The storyline is amazing and the battle system is of no means hard to play. i rate this game a 5/5!

  • I had this game a few years ago and I think that is a well put ingamerpg... Me and my lil sister would play hrs, then again she would be the one looking at me play the game lmao, goodtimes.. My wifey had got me a P3 +) Love You baby +) I'm sick that the Network is down +(... I guess they knew I was coming back and had to remake the system for me .. "Yea I know I'm feeling myself now " .. -Tool Mode Off- lol anyway back to the game, like I say the game and the story +)

  • @ContradictoryLilac This game is deffinately worth playing man its worth your money expecially if your in love with the final fantasy series its a lot more hardcore then final fantasy but its x10 better.(:

  • what was ur equipment when u fought skieth??? for all characters :)

    and also can u tell me wat was ur level??

  • My friend has another friend named Hero and HE STOLE IT FROM ME!!!!

  • thumbs up for skeith intro

  • I have Mistral instead of Elk in my team but for now I have losed 2 times :/ Is Elk better choice then Mistral or am I just bad player xP?

  • Skeith...ah you were a fun boss to beat. Fairly easy too. Felt great to beat you senseless. Felt even better to control you in G.U.

  • I remember this battle, it was so long and i nearly died like a hundred times, but i beat him on my first try XD

  • noooooooobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

  • if u look at .hack infection u can clearly see that its much more menu oriented and because of this reason u lose the feel of the game. if u switch this battle around, in .hack gu vol.3 haseo vs kite u can see what i mean. and the avatar awaken mode was simply out of this world, skeith changed into its third form i bet everyone's jaw was wide open.

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! LMAO!!!

  • I loved this game. It was just so fun. I would love to go back and beat all 4. G.U. I heard weren't that good.

  • I abuse the buffs in this game lol

  • It's ironic how Haseo was named "The Terror of Death" after receiving his armor but yet his strength compared to this Terror is weak.

  • What about the parasite boss on the ship after skeith is dead? Isn't that the last boss?

  • @artiste45: You could consider the Parasite Dragon the "final" boss in the game. However, it isn't mandatory to defeat it unlike Skeith, unless you want the strongest Twin Blade weapon in the game (I gave mine to Kite) for when you move on to .Hack//Mutation. It really helps. You can get the weapon by Data Draining the Parasite Dragon.

  • What was your weapon?

  • can you fight skeith twice or only once ?

  • no you have to kill like somethin that I can't remember, but you beter be lvl 50 or higher

  • is this like the replacement of Xenosaga??

  • Elk is Endrance in G.U.

  • What is the song used when Skeith kills aura?

  • lol i cant see u fighting all spells?

  • Aura: "Oh no... I'm being attacked... Guess I should just stand here and look pretty. Remember me for my brief cameo in Legend of the Twiliiiiiiiiiight.... Ack."

  • yea gu sucks ._. thisone rocks :O claps *

  • I killed him.. it took me a while... and i just keep on melee atacking him with Kite (lvl 33) and i had black rose and mistral (both with first aid)

  • i dont know how to kill him, every hit make 300 to 400 damage, i heal more than i attack.

  • .hack G.U is gay and the old one kicks ass because it's longer

  • i was in lvl 12 when i entered first boss the flyin dragon thing then i just run around all for myself and cast spells and scrolls and healed myself lol took around an 15-30 mins to take him down

  • i used the same team as you cept i used all the potions to up all my attack and defense... man those were the days.. game not need have superb graphics but an excellent story line..

  • @fadedsouljoker the good ol days huh where not everything wasn't just a new skin but a new game right?

  • yupp the content last time was just superb...

  • Ahh...Nostalgia..

    Too bad GU was subpar, and Link seems to be pure fanwankery.. :T

  • @malice.. I loved GU.. damn action packed.. Link is fanbased but its the conclusion.. can't wait

  • what equipment do you have?

  • I liked the old dot hack games more altho i like what they did in the new one with emial and the forums I did't like the guild thing for some reason the old one where lot harder I was 34 it was a tough fight with skeith but thanks to Mistreal i won

  • yeah this ssucked i went in first at thirty and he killed me and i lost all my weapons and stuff and came back at 33 he was still hard but after data drain it was easy i was using aushurou though and i use black rose and piros whenever i can

  • Comment removed

  • How is your character still in green clothing?

  • In the beginning, can we choose a class? o-o

  • You can only choose your own name, that's it. You're stuck as a Twin Blade through all 4 games :P

    Lol, I hated these dubs. I changed the voices over to Japanese just so it sounded better.

  • No. You play as "Kite" the newbie twin blade.

  • Skieth was a real pain in the ass it to me forever to beat him XD

  • Kite BlackRose died! Wait ... Now was Elk...

    Use Resurrect in Two!

    Skeith is a real pain to kill. I think I spent an hour in this battle so to be able to use Data Drain on him

    [sorryformybadenglishlol]

  • spoiler agains sorry lol

    elk = endurance.

  • spoiler: haseo character in this game was corupted by skeith. he was but into a comma for 7 years. his parents never told him that he was in a comma. and he never remebered skeith or the world. but when he made haseo. agian he became skeith but this time no comma. and no aura

  • he lvl 99 with 9999 life -.- over power much?

  • kinda but if you kinda know what you have to do its not that bad. but it is over power.

    //gu was a bit easier your final boss on number 1 rebirth was only 25--

    2 reminiese was 4000 and the final boss was around 99999 lol

  • (i meant weird/funny srry)

  • its kinda funny?weird that the side effects went before the action was done (no offence i still think its really cool)

  • dam ur datadrain is red xD ganna be tough when its red

  • is their any other way to get virus cores before u hack this gate? I looked back at all the missions (none unfinished), but still couldn't find 2 b core viruses -_-

  • You can "break" regular enemies that you find in the world or dungeons and data drain them. They pass out A,B, and C virus cores on the delta server.

    Just got to an area where you won't kill the enemies with a single hit and data drain a few.

  • thanks.

    i forgot abt that when i became obsessed with getting a lot of more experiance points....-_-u

  • and can anyone tell if exist games of hack for pc ?

  • sorry no but there was a game for the ps2 online but bandia said they weren't gonna release it her in the states or anywhere else for that matter.

  • pliss can anyone tell me what is the hardest boss of hack game series ?

  • Skeith is a pain in the ass, I hated him in the original games. He one-shotted me with his staff all the time.

    Haseo's Skeith avatar is cool though, I like the change it makes when you fight Cubia in GU

  • I remember skeith in .hack//gu 2.

    Who's avatar is he again?

  • haseo one of the best hack characters ever.

  • He is Haseo's avatar.

  • i just let my party die and spamed the fuck out of him with spells and ocaiously reviweing my party

  • When I challenged Skeith the people I used in my party was blackrose and Piros

    I would be the healer b/c I would stock up on items.

  • he was a bitch I was under item and ran out of healing items. and kite was only healer i had

  • Skeith is the very meaning of hard. It took me like...An hour to beat this guy, I swear. Epic fight is very epic!

  • Heh, I was at level 30 when I did this. I was the healer though, and I had kite using all the attack items I saved so he wouldn't have to get close to Skeith

  • you were kite right???

  • Yeah, that way I was sure that if I stayed back far enough I would be able to keep my HP high, and the scrolls did slightly more damage than my attacks, so I made Blackrose and Elk go all out

  • I was wondering is this kind of like a turn based fighting style type game like final fantasy? or is it more like fast action striking battles (no taking turns on moves) like Kingdom Hearts?

  • Sort of a mix. It's choppy, but not turn based.

  • no turns its like kindgom hearts

  • Its probay moe like a turn-based-real time

  • I agree with you. This battle was very difficult. Not meaning to brag or anything but i took the time to level up to level 36 before fighting him. I am currently on the last battle in Mutation but I got bored of leveling up so i quit for awhile. If you fought the boss in Mutation then what level do you have to be at at least? I would really appreciate it tf you would tell me. Thank you.

  • 50 ish is was 60 but what eve

  • Hey guys i need to get about four B type virus cores can anyone give me a good method to get them?

  • the most likely monster to give Bs are the giant rock monsters...searh in lvl 15 dungeons...try not to kill them and good luck

  • Thanks i know just the right place

    Theta, Expansive Haunted Sea Of Sand

    thanks again

  • no problem...i went up against skeith yesterday...lasted maby like 5 min at most

  • very fun games. Tho, I have to say, 'Punishment' is EVIL. Terror of Death indeed.

    At least it doesn't pull a 'Drain Heart' like Corbenik does in the last one... Bleh, instant death to EVERYONE.

  • Great Series of games.

  • What do you do with Book of Law and Book of Iron, can you use them when you finish the game?

  • no they are always unusable

  • I like how they twist the 2 .hacks together. with skeith being the equivalent of the bracelet

  • I used Natsume in my party.  Killing Skieth only took about 10 mins.

  • and then Skeith raised its staff and pointed to Kite and his friends as it was saying "You're next!".

  • you took pretty long toooo kill him...

  • I own ALL of the Dot hack series. I own all of the games and ALL of the Anime series. n.n Skeith WAS tough.

  • Is there an anime for this?

    If so, then wat is it called?

  • When I was playing .Hack// G.U. Vol. 2 and 3, I thought this game sucked because of the graphics. Then I came across all four of them in one store. Luckily, I've got the money with me at that time. Now, I really like this game even though I'm still playing part 1. I completely forgot about the graphics. I only focused on the awesome game play.

  • so wats your opinion this or gu in terms of rating?

  • My two cents - I have played both series through and feel that GU has the better graphics and a very compelling storyline, but it loses most of the challenge factor found in the original series.

    Case in point - On GU I was able to beat each major boss without losing once, which kind of disappointed me. However, on the original series, I felt a real sense of accomplishment the first time I was able to defeat Skeith, the very first major boss.

  • ic your rite ive plated gu and its fun but get booring near end or when u r done

  • i still havent beaten this series to date but i beat GU in like 1 month no death al the games

  • oh ya impressive :) same here

  • I cno it was so hard I had 99 of every healing item I used about 70 of each

  • I think they are both OK but the orginal series also have books wich tell the story from another point of view (called .hack//another birth)

  • elk? can I take mistral instead? idk yet I'm not at that part but I was wondering cause I've been leveling up mistral for the end battle. D: I can never get to elk so I havent gotten a chance to level him up...

  • Skeith would be so easy if you did not have to go though that hour long durgen just get too him!!

  • I wish that the battles could have been active time rather than wait and select. It isn't such a bad game though.

  • I beat skeath at lvl 29 as well as blackrose and gardenia at that level and let them fight him while i revived

  • lol lvl 25 and kite didn't died once XD

    even if the two other got owned each strike of Skeith <_<...

    Bloods potions FTW XD

  • what twinblade are u using and how do i get it

  • that blue haired boy, i've heard is voice from another game...

  • Maybe Izzy from Digimon? I think so

  • are you fucking kidding me, you should have elk use first aid and attack! if he runs low on mp then recover with mages soul.

  • THIS IS THE END OF THE GAME?! WTH i love this game but its soo short, hmmmm maybe ishould buy the next games

  • oh yer anyone know were i can get these games? (australia)

  • Gamestop

  • definitely..kinda hard to find..took me a while to get them all..but it's worth it

  • its very true very hard to find im missing the 3rd in the series look on ebay man

  • Shoot you guys are right, They are hard to find because I'm missing part 2 & 4...CURSES!!! I will eventually get the remainder of the games ^_^ These games are fun as hell but they are rather challenging if you ask me...I got my games used at a gamestop and they were in very good condition...Try to find them if you can b/c I'm hunting them down too...lol

  • end of part 1 of 4....geez.XD

  • i know that, well actuqally 1 of 3 lol geez. and i know , i meant that in relavance to skeith.

  • what weapon and armor are u using?

  • Not bad but if you use Pure Water it cuts the damage received from Judgment in half. Which is rather handy~

  • INFECTION is the first of the original four .Hack games, right?

  • what level are you

  • I believe I was at 33 or 34. I would just bring someone who is strong against physical attacks and someone who is strong against magical attacks in your party. Skeiths a pain in the ass - but I found that if I kept my distance and pelted away with magic he is not so bad.

  • Who are the best people to have in your party for this? oh yer and how much of a piss of is going through that 4 or 5 lvl duungeon before u vs him DAMN IT!
