White form is in volume 3. Skeith has 3 different forms, his standard red skirt first form as seen in Volume 1, gets an upgrade when Endrance gives Haseo his Epitaph power and becomes a bulk golden form in Volume 2, then at the end the other Epitaph Users give Haseo their powers and becomes a white orbital frame (ZoE) type form in Volume 3.

OF COURSE duh why didnt i think of that before. his power increases with every game. good. so in vol. 3 he doesnt have to change into skieth, he can still stay as haseo and use data drain?

Epitaph's have nothing to do with it Skeith upgrades when Haseo does. He has Skeith form 2 in Vol.2 before he even encounters Endrance.

As for Vol.3 he still needs to use Skeith to go against AIDA and such, as Haseo on his own is too small really to do much damage.

Well he uses his epitaph without awakening it. Kinda like Kuhn did in volume on to save himself from getting data drained.

He can use it with out fully awakening Skeith. Kinda like Kuhn did in volume one to save himself from data drain.

That's pretty much all he really can do in regular form. If Skeith had special abilities he presumably could use them too. However Skeith doesn't.

You're all wrong. Skeith only changes because Haseo got a Job Extend. The forms of the Avatars are based off the PC forms of their users.

That's funny, because in Volume 1 you get your second job extension. So where's my Gold Skeith in Volume 1 eh?

And I do recall seeing Endrance fading his essence away and it floating towards Haseo then Haseo shouts "SKEITH" and he becomes the second form.

Volume one is your first job extension into the second form.

Then how come you can use Skeith 2nd form In the fight with Gorre which is before that scene. Endrance just raises his stats. Technically the Skeith we first see is 2nd form Skeith since Haseo never awakens in first form. Hence why Skeith has the cape and spikes and such.

Because Gold Skeith is based off of Flicker Haseo. We never see Skeith's counterpart to Twin Blade Haseo.

So if you were a epitaph user it would be to your advantage to be a multi-weapon?

Jimbob · Post by **Jimbob** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 11:36 pm

Well no. Skeith's strength comes from Haseo stats, only his appearance and abilities change. So it's not really an advantage.

LegendaryDarkKnight · Tue Apr 24, 2007 11:45 pm

Still. I would want to fire 4 rather than three data balls. Here' s something else I was thinking about. Was the earlier form of skeith imperfect and its true new form awakened when you get to flicker form?

I think it was more like more of it's potential was unlocked along with Haseo. Sort of like how a Adapt Rogue is limited with it's weapon and abilities until it get's an extension. If Haseo was another class he probably would have gotten Skeith form two or three from the get-go.

What do you mean? Of course it does. The game says so, and I kicked Anna and Tarvos's asses when I overleveled.

Everytime Haseo changes into a new form, he awakens the next form of Skeith.

Now I wonder, if he was in first form, what would Skeith look like at 0th Form
