Data Drain

Kite acquires this power early in the game. It enables him to scan and remove viral code from monsters which decreases their power sufficiently and will only take one hit to kill. Doing so will increase your chances of earning a rare item or virus core which are used for Gate Hacking. Using the Data Drain raises your infection level which could lead to a glitch. The infection rate will rise in relation to the monster you are fighting. If his level is higher than yours, you can expect a higher increase of infection when using the Data Drain and the reverse is also true (a monster with a lower level will cause less infection). To observe your infection rate, select the skills screen and look at the Data Drain Infection data which is color coded.

Infection Color Code		Infection Percentage    Blue			0-24%  Light Blue			25-49%  Green			50-74%  Yellow			75-99%  Red			100%

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. To kill the last Goblin without having it heal itself, bring some Mage's Souls and Speed Charm. First, use Speed Charm to go faster. When you get close enough to the Goblin, use skills. When you run out of SP, use Mage's Soul to regain it. Keep doing and that Goblin will not have time to heal.

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.

Upgrading Weapons Or Armor Quickly

You need to be at the 0 server and have the Grunty Flute. Go up to the portal, make sure you have the items on you and are not using them, hit "Random" a few times until you get a high field level (25 to 30) and warp. As soon as you are on the field, look for a pool symbol. If there is not one, leave. If there is, stay and pull up your menu. Go to "Key Items", then "Grunty Flute". Run to the pool symbol. With the flute, you will not run into any of the portals. Be careful, as there are some people just walking around. Check before getting off the pig thing. Go to the pool and throw in your items. He will appear and ask you what you dropped. Say "Neither". He will spin and give you better or worse items. If you save just before you do this, quit if he gives you worse items and try another area. Save the game after he gives you a better item.

Easy Master Supreme On The Zeit Statue Ranking In Root Town

Extreme Difficulty Field At Chaos Gate

At the Chaos Gate, choose "New Keyword" and put "Putried Primitive Melody" for extreme difficulty (battle level 17).

Thunder Cloak

Look for someone named Tim. He may be a Wavemaster wearing a green outfit. He has an item for trade called Thunder Cloak. It is a level 31 armor, and has the power to revive dead players so you will not need to use Resurrect potions all the time. It also has other powers.

Summons

A level 1 summon for each type of element can be found in dungeons level 29 and 30, for the corresponding element. They are not as powerful as level 3 magic, but they seem to not miss the targets.

Ryu Book

To get a Ryu Book, use Data Drain frequently. However, do not use Data Drain can cause some damage to you. There are only eight Ryu Books in volume one. The Ryu Books keeps a record of almost everything. It will tell you if you broke a record. It will then give you a new sound or movie for your computer on the game. Note: Movie only works the game has been completed, and all movies are just some memories of what happened. Check every Ryu Book if you got everything for the computer. If it is red, it can not create any more things for you. You can only check a Ryu Book when in the server.

Golden Axe And Silver Axe

Use the following trick to get a free Golden and Silver Axe. Go to a Monsieur level 1 and give him any moderately high level weapon or armor. When he asks you what you lost, tell him "Neither one". He will give you a Golden Axe, Silver Axe, and your weapon back.

Grunty Items

The two most annoying items to find for the Grunties are the Piney Apple at "hidden solitary white demon" and Twilight Onion at "hidden gluttonous melody".

Poison Grunty

A Poison Grunty requires four Piney Apples, three Snaky Cactuses, one Immature Egg, and eleven Golden Eggs.

Iron Grunty

"[ all data]" for Closed Oblivios Twin Hills, level 22, "Collapsed pagan march" for level 26, "Caressed silent melody" for level 26, "Quite gluttonous fiery sands" for level 24, "Lonely hot-blooded sunny demon" for level 27, and "Lonely hot-blooded melody" for level 30.

Regain SP

Walk around and your SP meter will refill. This is especially useful if you have monsters to fight next. You can just wait in an empty dungeon room until it refills.

Easy Experience

Go to "Delta, Closed Oblivious Twin Hills" to find weak enemies that give lots of experience points each. You should go there only if you are at level 20 and above.

DVD Special Keywords

The OVA that comes with the game has hidden keywords to help you. The only one that has relevance is "Chosen Hopeless Nothingness", which is where you fight the final Boss. If you turn on subtitles, you will find keywords throughout the DVD. Some include "Luscious Her Remnant", "Hideous Organ market Scaffold, and "Dog Dancing Passionate Tri Pansy". None of them are that special, but in "Dog dancing Tri Pansy", if you reach the statue of Gott at the end of the dungeon you will get an Ice Block that is used for trading.

Easter eggs

We have no easter eggs for dot.hack: Infection (part 1) yet. If you have any unlockables please submit them.

Glitches

Glitch Severity

Glitches are determined by your level of infection. If you have a low level of infection, the glitch can be in your favor or at the very least, not that crucial. If you have a high level of infection, you can expect serious repercussions such as a high loss of XP, loss of a level (!!), having HP and SP reduced to 1 etc.

Glitch Occurances

Using Data Drain will cause glitches to occur at half the infection rate. If your infection rate is at 100%, glitches will occur every other time (50% of the time) you use the Data Drain ability.
