The Aura statue is also not in .hack//Sign. The base of it is but not her.

of course. Because Aura is asleep. when Aura wakes up and evolves into her next form, causing the Epitaph Program to activate, the statue appears. After the Epitaph Program, Aura is complete and goes dormant, but the statue remains. Probably because until Aura re-awakens into her new role, the statue is still considered accurate in it's symbolism. Either that, or it's cached until the next server update.

Very interesting indeed. BTW, I'm surprised that no one has said anything about the fact that 3 of the 8 phases names are on the statue with Aura. Anyones thoughts on why only 3 names are readable?

Because "Skeith... Innis... Magus... the rest is faded" sounds cooler than "Skeith, Innis, Magus, Fidchell, Gorre, Macha, Tarvos, Corbenik..."

It only shows the first 3 names because, like from the epitaph:

and by the power of magus, a drop of the wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new wave.

It could just be saying, after magus is done for, the rest of the wave is finally recognizable.

Do you think it just a warning. Plus Wisemen made a couple of comments about your encounters with them after you get a copy of the "Epitach of Twilight".

Alright, an incredibly old subject, and I'm not sure if I said this before... (maybe a dozen times, knowing my memory.)

I found somewhere that the purpose of the statue was a "testament to Morganna's ego" simply, "You have not won yet! Not as long as I'm still around! Where ever you go, I will hunt you!" Something like that, according to someone on an incredibly old board, this was said in the first "The World" magazine.

Isn't it only able to be seen by those connected to Aura? Symbloizing that she is bound by the phases and Morganna? Hey, maybe there aren't chains on her after you beat the game... or maybe the statue isn't there! Ok i can't check this now, and never have, but can someone who has beaten it go to Hidden Forbidden Holy ground for me a check if theres anything different.


And yeah, the reflection is just cause she's not rly there, so I've heard...

(sorry if anything has already been said, don't wanna read...)

Haha, no i's surely there after you beat the games.

The statue is there for everyone, and the chains remain. But since it wasn't originally part of the area, it doesn't show up in the reflection.

I think that it would have been cool if the one chain would disappear when you defeat a Phase.

That would make it way to obvious. It really didn't play a big enough role in the series for it to have it's own flagged events.

Not to mention that if you're gonna do that, then you're gonna have to break the statue dissapear and re-manifest in thirds at a time. So why bother having a statue at all?

it'd be cool if the chains went away... imo

I say that Thay statue in Hidden,Forbidden, Holy ground The Statue is Aura, and the...i think when that guy said 8 chains, the chains stand for the 8 phases that bind her.

No ****, sherlock? Really? No way.

And change your signature. It's much too large.
