The "I beat Volume 3!!!!!!" thread [ALL SPOILERS]

[Makubex]

Well about the pk hunt its easy if you do it while leveling up or hunting items....well thats wat i did so i got surprised when
I read the thread that haseo got all the chaotic pks

[Dagurasu]

Finally beat FoP and got everyone. Raising affection is going to be tedious, but it will be nice to see the marriages(Shino + Pi were the first ones I did).

Btw, am I the only one who feels like it should be Shino x Haseo(Thats right, screw you guys and your Alkaid and Atoli BS)? You'd think Shino would fall for him for the simple fact that he spent the better part of a year doing everything he could do to bring her out of a coma... and went to visit her everyday... god he was devoted.

[souske21]

Yea, i'm more of A Shino X Haseo guy myself.

but for all story purposes, it really is Atoli X Haseo.

She's like the one who dealt with all his angry teen angst crap. XD

yea...

anyways, i beat the game, clocked in about 50 hours.

for some reason i can't get the dopple items without the own king from Vol 1. or is that just me...

oh well. i did the affection raising the cheap way. God did it for me. =p

[Yashimiku]

The Game Really Good. I Beat Cubia At Level 130 I Think, And He Was Pretty Hard!
The Core Thing Was Weird There, I Mean, A Bird With A Man That Looks Like Haseo On The Top Is Very Freaky!! DD;

My Party.. I Used Endrance And Zelkova. But Yeah, The Game Was Really Good.

The Forest Of Pain Event Was Good, Especially When  Haseo Got To See Ovan Again.

I'm So Sad The G.U. Trilogy Is Over! ;-;

[Anato]

i beat the game with Haseo lvl 129, Kuhn lvl 127 and Zelkova lvl 128.
have not done the wedding event or FoP yet, i was too obsessed with finishing the main story first so i will do those on my second run through. but i was happy with the game, nothing really bothered me and it was more fun than the first 2, with Xth form/data drain and all.

[Shining Blaze]

I beat this game and pretty much overkilled it. Now, for those questions...

Did you get Tabby?

No, but I'm doing the Forest of Pain a little bit at a time.

Did you get Natsume?

Yes and maxed out her affection.

Did you clear the Forest of Pain?

Same answer as the Tabby question.

Who did you marry?

I didn't get the Promise Card, so no marriage yet.

Was it as good as you expected?

Yes, though Xth Form makes the game quite easy.

Post your time, level, and other comments.

Time: [Too lazy to check, but it's ridiculously high and inaccurate since I leave my game on for long periods of time.]
Level: 150
Comments:
I was actually collecting Virus Cores, so I would always go to dungeons that were 4 levels higher. Of course, after doing it for so long, I got to level 150 and Virus Core hunting was harder. I finally maxed out all the Lost Weapons today. Of course, the rest of the game became ridiculously easy. I didn't even create a second save file for Cubia's fight, since I knew it would be easy. Before tackling the Forest of Pain completely, I wanted to take care of other things first. I got Natsume, maxed out almost everyone, and even beat that Arena Challenge. Right now, I'm trying to max out the last Ryu Book, but I don't see any good guides for getting the missing Accessories. Also, I'm one level away from mastering all the weapons. I'll need about 10 more Virus Cores and that will be taken care of.

On another note, anyone know a good Guide for all the accessories? The ones on GameFAQs are missing a ton of Accessories, even stuff like Simple Comb.

[goldenxcr]

1. I finished the game at lv 143, so fghting cubia is a little too easy...
2. I used Atoli and Pi (yummy)
3. I got Natsume and Tabby (yummy again)
4. I have seen all the marriage endings with girls + Endrance and Kuhn(save - exploit)
5. I haven't cleared FoP (too lazy)
6. I seriously LOLed at cubia core, coz his attacks can't even damage me more than 40, while my HP is 5200~ coz I used body butterfly armor slot
7. I kicked the God chim chim's butt for over 300 times (true coz I wanted to raise my girls affection as quickly as poss.) so as your party's affection raise per 10 kicks, I possibly repeated that for over 30 times...

[prettyboy_psychotic]

beat the game a while ago, just been too lazy/over-loaded with homework to post this, lol

Beat it at !50, the last fight was Cake. Especially with the maxed out DG-X. I think it took five minutes to kill cubia after the avatar fight.
I'm on level 160 of FoP
Working on getting some of the extra characters up to max, Tabby for instance.
That's all i've got to do OH and i still have to max the Ryu Books.

[Shining Blaze]

Level 160? That's not possible. Everyone knows the cap is 150. Also, I'd suggest getting the DG-0 already. It's stronger than the DG-X and has more than twice as much bullets. So...basically, I'm suggesting that you kill the Doppleganger twice.

[BloodLash]

What do I have to do to start the marriage event? I'd like to be able to see who you'll be able to choose. =)

[souske21]

get all the characters, including Shino,Tabby, and Natsume.

then you'll get the card in an e-mail.

[Irishhack]

I finaly beat it!

[Neo_ShadowWing]

I beat it a couple days ago, well the main story at least, lol. Now comes the fun part, doing FoP, and getting the wedding thingy, and everything.

[Aselion]

Finally beat it. After receiving it, I couldn't play it for a while because I was so busy. Got Natsume, and Tabby. Cleared Forest of Pain, Beat Dopple. Married Pi,Alkaid,Shino,Bordeaux,Saku (That was a little disturbing... but she was already max affection so I figured what the hell), and Atoli.

Level is 150 for Haseo,Atoli, and Khun. Everyone else in the last 130's. Save for Bordeaux who refuses to gain experience out of party. Time is like 35 hours. Story was awesome. Sucked getting Xth form so late, but it honestly made the reward so much better. I'm practically done with the series though. I have like 5 more bounty hunts to do, collect virus cores for lost weapons, get the remaining items in the game... but there is no point when the Ryu books are maxed out. Unless an actual game called resurrection will come out... then I will finish the rest. But I'm sure thats not gonna happen.

[Hikaryu]

Ok, here I go.

Did you get Tabby?---Yep.

Did you get Natsume?---Nope. I'll go and kill the PK's If I feel like it.

Did you clear the Forest of pain?---Yep.

Who did you marry?---No one. Probably Shino then Atoli. I'll do the rest for fun.

Was it as good as you expected?---Yep. Totally. First time I did Armour Break my jaw dropped.

Time: 50++. Add in Vol 1 and 2, about 150++ i guess, just like you guys.
Level, most of them are at max except Alkaid and Bordeux.

I hate repetitive gaming...so I didn't do much of the other quests like bike missions and flyer's.

[Skeith_Haseo]

Got Tabby- Yep

Got Natsume- yep

Marrage scene- Shino but I saw all of them before i save it

Finish Forest of Pain- Yep I like the serect ending

Time-40-50 hours I think

Charcters i beat with- Haseo Lv 134 , SakuBo Lv 128, And Antares Lv 133

Just got to get Alkaid and Bordeux up Lv 150 then all will be 150 and I beat all mini quests

Can't what for the Movie to come out it looks awesome

I'm proud to say it I love this game

[Kryuzei]

I swear that this forum needs a quick Reply button. .
I finished this game yesterday. Got the Secret Epilouge, all Affection max. . Natsume and Tabby.
The Forest of Pain was awesome

I beat the game for about. . 30 hours ++ , considering that I don't play Rebirth. . I actually played it, but I don't convert it. .The Data was gone -_-;

[kots]

hey guys my turn to answer the questions

Did you get Tabby? yes

Did you get Natsume? yes

Did you clear the Forest of pain? yes yes

Who did you marry? only alkaid! alkaid forever!

Was it as good as you expected? even better! but the time it took to get the new form, is longer compared to the other volumes...

Post your time, level, and other comments: hmm i wont mention time it took me to finish cuz sometimes i leave my ps2 on till the next day so i can get lots of "crimson vs" played so it will be messy to calculate how much hours it took me to finish ehehe, level was 150 and um for other comments... hmm I WANT THE NEW .HACK SERIES OUT NOW! lol but that wont happen any time soon

[Christopher]

Alkaid - Awwww. Sweetest end pose
Saku - This was really nice
Bo - Nice ending
Endrance - Squeeeeee!/Haseo! Noooooo.... XD
Shino - Having done all of this for her, her ending is a bit dull =/
Kaede - Dunno if Haseo is ready for that kind of responsibility.
Bordeux - This ending was really sweet.
Antares - A bit dull
Matsu - We shall roam the lands together
Yata - Creepy
Zelkova - a bit boring
Kite - LOL XD (unghhhhhhhhhh...). Too bad they couldn't think up something extra for Balmung and Orca.

Tabby - Awwwwwww

[alkiad]

Congratulations! Now we can argue about what the next .hack games will be like :]

A few questions for you:

Did you get Tabby?
Yup

Did you get Natsume?
Yup

Did you clear the Forest of pain?
No, didnt have time since the start of the new semester was tomorrow so i rushed it all today

Who did you marry?
Alkaid, Atoli, Shino, Pi, Saku, Tabby. Those are the people whom i bothered watching, everyone else's ending was not able to appeal me.

Was it as good as you expected?
Alkaid's ending was more than what i expected. Atoli was less than what i expected. Shino was exactly what i expected.

Post your time, level, and other comments.

All characters are 150 but only Haseo, Atoli, Shino, Alkaid, Khun, Sakubo and Endrance had top notch items with the highest cheat alchemy. Though I didnt get the DG-Z, Im pretty satisfied that i was able to do this much in 1 day of no sleep ^_^. (started doing this 1 day before the new semester xp). I think i was able to pull 70 hours of little sleep on this one. I was having to much fun leveling like crazy xp

As for comments, HURRY UP WITH THE NEXT DOT HACK!!!!!

" And just so you know, Im very persistent and I never give up!" - Alkaid's words at the very end of her ending -
