This is a guide for Data Hacker: Reboot. I know that there is an official guide for this game, but i still decide to make a guide for this game. The reason is, there are some people (like me) who don't want to buy a guide just for finishing a game. When i was playing this game, i got stuck, confused, and enraged a lot because i didn't know or do what should be done. I believe a lot of people also feel the same and some of them even quit playing this game before they finished it.

I hope that this guide will help more people to finish the game and explore this game more than before.

Also, if you notice grammar mistakes, please let me know and i'll update it asap.

Before we begin, you should at least understand these things:

- This game requires you to grind a lot, so be patient.
- You better have at least 2 healers and one main dps in your party. The reason for 2 healers is for you to be able to spam heal every turn in case the boss is very strong. You need to take turns recovering your MP. Because of the class mechanics, you can just let the healer to learn at least JuHeal (Chantan > Chaoschant > Soothsayer) and then switch it to other class.
- Although classes like Fighter and Rogue have very strong techniques, recovering TP is a pain in the ass. Although class like Chantan is MP based (and recovering MP is easier), their Class 3 and 4 skills require tons of MP which is quite useless compared to its damage.
I haven't try other classes until Class 4, so you might want to try them out.

- For Trioach (card game) achievement, you just need to win Trioach a lot. The guys in Victorium are a good choice since they are quite weak.
You can buy Trioach cards from the guy on the east before the forest area in Victorium (when you find Lucile), or you can get it eventually from monsters. After you can play Trioarch, you can earn cards from winning the game.
If you don't really get how Trioach works, it's like Othello with attack (A,B,C), defense (1,2,3), and attacking direction (arrows). I'm lazy to explain it in detail, so it'll be better for you to save before playing and play a lot.
- For credits achievement, you better save up your credits and buy the workshop in Victorium asap (the seller is near the Weapon Trader). You'll earn credit regularly after buying the workshop.

- If your character dies, it's game over so save a lot.
- You'll engage battle by random encounter and by non-random encounter (by approaching a "Dark Shadow" in the map (if available)). The "Dark Shadow" usually is stronger than the random encounter.
- There is a core to prevent random encounter later on, but you can't prevent the "Dark Shadow" one.

- In this game, Cores are treated as Accessory.
- Data Cores are some of the materials required for alchemy (crafting items).

- This guide doesn't have 100% item completion, so if you want the complete one, just buy the official guide.


- This guide was made when i played the game, so basically this is more like my activity log instead of a guide, and it might be not clear enough. If that's the case, i deeply apologize and please tell me which part is confusing and i'll do my best to redo it.


If you know the location of the items i missed (and how to get it), please do tell me and i'll update it asap.

Oh, grats. You beat the game.
Enjoy the credits since it can't be skipped.

Watching the credits will give you a new party member(Oh, look. A gunner) and...

The World Shard is retrieved from Graves in Ornatice fight.

- Notice a capsule to your left.
- Head east (if you can't head east, just close the game then reopen it).
- You should see a skull. Press Z on it.
Honestly, i don't know what's triggering the skulls spawn (i have gone there and it's not there).
Just to be safe, make sure you have defeated the game before doing this. If it's not working, try to finish the other completion first and try again.

Now you can look for the skulls(and defeat them). Here are their location:

World: Ornatice.
Weakness: Pyro.
Location: Go north, follow the west path, then go east and when you see footsteps, follow it to reach a room.




World: Anyang.
Location: Northwesternmost area on the last map.



World: Pleizoic.
Weakness: Pyro.
Location: The place where Taera (the guardian) is. If you forgot, just enter the cave and try to find an exit.



World: Cavo Pyra.
Weakness: Earth.
Location: Go west on the first "jumping spot" (The place when the path split into two and you have to jump to proceed).


PS: i forgot to screenshot it before battle.

World: O' Sola.
Weakness: Freeze.
Location: Go to the tunnel and head to the exit. The skull will be on the path before the exit.



World: Convergence.
Weakness: Electro.
Location: Go west and follow the path until you hit a dead end.

The World Shard is retrieved from a capsule right before the boss room in O'Sola.



- Go south.
- Enter the door.
- Press Z on the blue ball.
- Go back to the inital place.

- Go east.


- Enter the door.
- Press Z on the blue ball.
- Go back to the inital place.

- Go west.
- Enter the door.
- Go north for the cutscene.
- Go back to the inital place.

- Enter the door to the north.


- Press Z on the capsule.
- Press Z on the grave.

The World Shard is retrieved from capsule in Convergence last room or(and) clearing the Darkfestation in Pleizoic.

- Exit the door.
- Go south.
- Go north and enter the door.
- Go downstairs.
- Press Z on the capsule.
- Exit the door.
- Talk to the guy to your right.


- Go west.
- Enter the door.
- Go upstairs.
- Go south.
- Go north.
- Press Z on all 3 capsules.
- Go to the first area.
- Enter the door.
- Go near both of them.


Now go to Plateau Summit and head to the place where you find Damasc before.
- Talk to Jess.

The arena is accessed by talking to the googled baldie east from Victorium's Totema.

You'll receive Illusion Spirit Core (Absorb Freeze, Majique +15%, INT +10%, AGI +15%) on 10th (or 9th?) round (after defeating the white monster) and the arena will clear out 2 rounds after that (so around 11th or 12nd since i lost count).

- 1x The Missing Piece
- 1x Data Core ‎£!@

- The Missing Piece can be obtained by stealing it from Missingnum which will sometimes spawn when you are doing Data Hack.
- Data Core ‎£!@ will be obtained from Data Core pack before you go to O' Sola.

- Now you need Absentis Numeris craft book. It's in Metros, where you received your first guardian spirit.

- Now craft the core.
PS: you can only equip this to Damasc.
PS2: idk why, but i didn't get the achievement when i craft it for the first time. i earned it after i am redoing it in Victorium.

Do you ever notice a door which can only be opened by cards? That's Grindhouse. It's located in all World except Pleizoic and O'Sola.
I won't bother screenshoting and/or writing all the locations here because i think it's quite spot on.

- You can farm the cards by using Lucile's Data Hack.
- It's better if you use Card of Armoury on all doors (9 doors, i think) so you can craft Wings of a God armor (END +60%, PSN +25%, AGI +5%, Evasion +2%, CritRate +4%, HitRate +4%).
- After you open all doors, you will be able to craft Card of Mastery and fight a boss.

After you beat the game, you will be able to choose this as one of the option.

Making a guide for a game which i don't really fond of is quite hard. Especially when you have to revisit places which has strong monsters. But i'm glad i made it.

Initially, i was planning to capture a lot of screenshots for this guide. However, after thinking a lot, i decide not to do it because it'll take too much time to do (it's longer than you'll expect, as i lag a lot when i'm playing this game).


I also didn't expect that this will be this long. I mean, i know that this game has a lot of content, but i didn't think that it will be that long. I tried to make the Table of Contents as simple as possible, but again, i failed.

Because this guide was made when i'm playing this game, most of them are a mess, and i am having trouble to clean them up. Although it still looks like a mess right now, i hope that it's not too confusing.

As always, inputs will be very appreciated and i hope that this guide will be helpful for everyone.

Cheers!
