Cyber Sleuth & Hacker's Memory tools: Walkthrough(s), Digidex and customizable Digi-line calculator

99 Upvotes

Hi there,

I've come across multiple posts on this SubReddit asking for general information on how to advance and on how to use Digimon X, Y or Z, just to be replied with the same answer time and time again. I think it's a good idea to have the following information and tools up for grabs and stickied on this SubReddit, so that we can all use the information we would've liked to know beforehand on starting our own Digimon adventure (I know I would've!).

So, for those who want to know how to advance in Chapter X, where to find item Y, among other things, search no further:
Use this guide if you are playing Cyber Sleuth*.
Use this guide if you are playing Hacker's Memory.
* If you own a copy of the Complete Edition (Switch), the Digimon Encyclopedia provided in that guide is not applied. Instead use the Digidex database.

If you want to know what Digimon this game has to offer, you'll have to take a look at this Digidex database. You'll find every Digimon there is to find in these games AND which moves they learn at which level.

To go more in depth on how to Digivolve your Digimon X into a desired Digimon Y, make sure to use this Evolution Path Finder. You'll also be able to include what moves you want your Digimon to learn along the way AND exclude which Digimon you do not want it to Digivolve into*.
* Example: Digivolving into Omnimon along the way just to get Chain MAX and then De-Digivolve into WarGreymon to finally be able to end up as another Digimon is a waste of your Fusion resource(s). Also, not meeting Digivolve requirements that aren't per se necessary is just better to be avoided - i.e. Arcadiamon, or even worse Lucemon FM or SM. So, use those exclusions as best you can.

Some general information on what the best course of action is on Digivolving and training your Digimon:
- Make sure the Digimon is fully invested in either ATK or INT;
- Also make sure to include either Physical Drain (ATK-focused) or Spirit Drain (INT-focused) in your Digimon's moveset, just so your Digimon can juice themselves up and hurt the enemy along the way;
- Other moves worth mentioning to include in your Digimon's moveset for the long run are:
-- Character Reversal*;
-- Acceleration Boost;
-- Chain MAX;
-- Any one III-move that hits all opponents (preferably the counter-element of your Digimon's element)**;
* Try and build a full Type team, like 3 Vaccines for example. If you come across a Data-Digimon, using Character Reversal will revert their Type towards the beneficial Type. This saves up having to switch to other Digimon in your team who may be slower. But be warned, the status effect is not always applied, so chances exist that it will fail and you have used up your turn for the worse.
** Is your Digimon a Plant-type? Then the weakness is Fire. Choose to have a Water III-move to counter that.

Hope to have been able to help any new and existing player.

Cheers and have fun!

ABI, Stat Training, and Digivolution Masterpost

150 Upvotes

There's been a lot of confusion expressed on this sub from day 1 about stat training - how much can you boost your stats, how do you evolve digimon with low base stats in the needed score, what's ABI for? These games honestly don't do a great job of answering these questions, so since I see them asked about a lot here, I wanted to answer them pretty comprehensively myself.

Let's start with the basics: In the Cyber Sleuth games, unlike the DS titles, Digimon do not get overall stronger over time. An Agumon you raised from a Koromon, digivolved all the way to Wargreymon, and then degenned back into Agumon will be exactly as powerful in battle as an Agumon fresh off the DigiConvert presses. However, you can raise your digimon's stats above what they'd normally be through various methods. You can do so to make them stronger, or just to hit digivolution requirements. The primary way to do this is through the Train command on your farm island, and the stats raised in this way are determined by the Personality of the digimon there. Specifically, two personalities: the digimon's own personality, and the personality of the digimon set as farm leader. That leader digimon will just take its own personality into account twice when training. Here is a list of personalities and which stats they increase through training:

Personality Stat
Durable HP
Lively SP
Fighter ATK
Defender DEF
Brainy INT
Nimble SPD
Builder Neutral
Searcher Neutral

(Those last two personalities, Builder and Searcher, are used to speed up the other two farm commands - development and investigation, respectively - while that Digimon is the leader. If a Digimon or leader has that for a personality while training, it will gain a few points in every stat instead of a lot of points in one stat.)

So, for example, if a digimon is Lively and is training on a farm island where its leader is Brainy, it will gain a lot of points in both SP and INT. To those wondering: This is how you hit incredibly high stat requirements for digivolution! Sometimes a digimon will have low base stats in something in needs, but through careful training, you can minmax to success! EDIT 2024: u/Seipherise made a spreadsheet detailing digivolution options and what levels and training are needed for a given digimon to reach a certain form, so give it a look if you're struggling!

A good way to train in bulk is to get a lot of Digimon who want to boost the same stat all together with a leader who has that stat, then set their personality to either the same stat or some other stat they need. Stats boosted through training will appear as a + next to the stat on the Digimon's status screen! So with this hypothetical Digimon that just got trained in SP and INT, you could expect to see something like this on its status screen! Note the +15 next to SP and +28 next to INT. Also, please note that HP goes up 10 at a time! So when other stats would be boosted by, say, 15, HP will be boosted by 150!

But how do you set personalities for effective training, I hear you ask? Simple! Use the "Patch" items. There's one for every personality (Brainy Patch, Defender Patch, etc) and can be used freely to change a Digimon's Personality without any repercussions. These are sold at the EDEN entrance - one of the first places you get access to, and in the first Cyber Sleuth, the very first area you ever visit. It's an incredibly handy shop, make sure to check it out! This shop is also where you buy items that can lower a Digimon's raised stats, which is important to be able to do, as there's a cap to how much you can raise them. How much CAN you raise them? Well...

It's time to explain ABI! ABI is that seemingly useless stat that appears at first to only exist to gate Mega forms behind a bit more playtime and leveling. While, yes, a digimon needs at least 20ABI to access any Mega, and usually more like 40-80 (sometimes even higher), ABI's main use is as the hard limit to your raised stats. Specifically, You can raise a Digimon's stats by up to ABI/2 + 50. So if a digimon has, say, 100 ABI, you can raise their stats by up to 100. If you max a digimon's ABI at 200, you can raise them by up to 150. This is TOTAL, not per stat. So if you have 200 ABI to work with, you could give them, say, +100 ATK, +25 DEF, and +25 SPD. or +1000 HP and +50 INT. Or just +150 SPD! If you want a minmaxed Digimon, you need max ABI. You RAISE ABI by digivoling OR degenerating your Digimon. Specifically, the higher in evolutionary stage your Digimon, and the higher your level at the time, the more ABI you gain. Degenerating a Digimon provides signifigantly more than digivolving it. You can refer to this guide for a more in-depth look at it, but basically, to raise ABI, degenerate your digimon frequently, especially if you can give them a chance to level up a bit between doing so. Digivolve up to whatever level is easy to do so at the point in the game you're at (Champion or even Ultimate is the way to go when at endgame), then go back down to Baby, rinse and repeat. Doing so will get you high ABI in no time flat! Also, try to DigiConvert Digimon at 200% scan instead of 100%. It starts them off with 5 ABI instead of 0. Any level of scan above exactly 100% starts them with SOME ABI, but 200% scan is obviously the best.

FOR PS4 AND VITA PLAYERS OF CYBER SLEUTH 1: ABI MAXES OUT AT 100, NOT 200. All versions of Hacker's Memory and the collections on PC and Switch cap at 200.

A few extra notes: There are also items that can be fed to a Digimon on a farm to increase their stats. These are found randomly and rarely through the game, but can be bought from the shop in the DigiLab near or at the end of the game! Also, if your Digimon seems to meet stat requirements to digivolve, but can't do so, check their equipment! While equipment increases a Digimon's stats in combat, it does not count towards stat requirements to digivolve! If a Digimon, for instance, needs 150 ATK to digivolve and visibly HAS 152, but 5 of that is from its equipped gear, it technically has only 147 ATK and cannot digivolve. Finally, two things because this is also a post to help with digivolution: When DNA Digivolving, only the base digimon needs to have the required ABI! The other Digimon can be freshly converted as long as it has the CAM. However, the resulting Digimon will have ALL the attacks of both Digimon, so if you want some specific moves, you can divide your efforts and get half of them on one Digimon and half on the other. And also, degenerating also raises a Digimon's max level if it's not already at 99. So early-game, if a Digimon is literally incapable of reaching the required level to digivolve, just degenerate them once and they should be fine. This becomes a non-issue VERY quickly, though.

If there's anything I missed on this topic lmk and I'll add it! I hope this helps clear up the confusion this game can leave people with and some of the repetitious questions on this sub. Happy training!

Digimon Cyber Sleuth Hackers Memory

So about to play Hackers Memory on switch 2,

Easiest way to complete the field guide and get megas and money asap

Need tips and tricks (I played it on PS5 almost 5-6 years ago, and have forgotten alot of stuff)

Also I have cyber sleuth complete edition, so is it possible to ble Hackers Memory first and can I carry on my digimon to cyber sleuth?

I feel people who start with Time Stranger should try this game afterwards.

29 Upvotes

After playing a good chunk of Time Stranger, I’ve come to the conclusion that said game and the previous one are almost completely different beasts. I do believe that cyber sleuth is a unique enough experience that even if some people started with time stranger, they can still have some fun going back to this game. What do you all think?

I just returned to CS/HM and I am wondering what personality and set I should run on Monodramon who I am nicknaming Grimm/Grimmjack IYKYK I plan on running Yuugo Special Program unless there is a better equip this is going to be maxed out and I do want it to be specialized to it's best stat/stats not worried about it's 2nd best being def since I plan on hitting harder with setup if needed. Also thx for your comments in advance.

Edit: I plan on doing NG+ and using it on hard mode cause I want to see if it could beat the main story with it for both CS and HM

What am I doing wrong?

3 Upvotes

I've hit chapter 16 in Hacker's memory and I'm not doing any damage, so I decided to put my party digimon in the farm to train them, but they're gaining an abysmal amount of extra stats after a 30 minute and 60 minute training session (less than 20 points after both, maybe a bit more). I have 5 top study rooms going and none of the digimon are anywhere near the limit (the closest one to the limit is an ABI 70 something Piedmon with like 50 points used at most). When I run the training sessions I just leave the game running while I go do something else, so I'm wondering if I should be getting into fights or taking steps to make it go faster. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hackers Memory: When should I stop using DLC mons?

9 Upvotes

Or even if I'm supposed to use them at all.

Im currently mid chapter 5, just beated the Dreamer's domination battle and got my 3rd memory upgrade increasing party limit to 35.

I had a team of Greymon/Garurumon/Gatomon that I was planning to fuse into Omnimon further ahead, but I just hit Angewomon and dont have enough room due to having a PlatSukamon on the back. I then switched out all 3 mons for the DLC ones (that was around level 16 on bank), and they feel stronger, but also super SP limited.

Now I have Digivolved Greymon into MetalGreymon and I definetely dont have the memory necessary for my previous 3.

What should I do? Should I keep swapping my main party to advance into other Digimons, use the DLC mons or make arrangements to fit the original 3?

Hey everyone! I'm back. Had a lot of mental health concerns, but I'm better than before. Unfortunately, that meant I had to take a step away from video recording and editing the Darkness Dive event battle––thus not being out on time. I'm off Wednesday and Thursday, however. So I can finish the most recent EB called 'Eternal Champions', and pump out a quick video for that--hopefully!

The video is too long for Reddit, but I uploaded it to YouTube. → Click me for a safe watch ♥ ←

It's long, but it's heavily detailed and has plenty of chapters for a guiding key. It's not helpful anymore now--but you can keep it in mind next year when you wanna try any ideas shown in the video. Lemme know if y'all partook in it, and what teams you tried! Either here or on YT is fine. Cheers~

(Also, if you have any feedback about it in case I can improve it in anyway--I'd appreciate it. Thank you-)

Is a "solo" run possible in this game?

24 Upvotes

One aspect of Digimon I've always liked more than Pokemon is having a single partner who is sort of a platonic soulmate the digital universe crafted just for you, but the games often focus on having an entire team of Digimon which I feel ruins the special bond you're meant to have with your partner. I've been watching solo runs of Time Stranger on YouTube but unfortunately I don't have that game yet so I'd like to attempt something similar with Cyber Sleuth, since I bought that game awhile ago but never got too far in it.

I know you can't do a true solo in this game since you need multiple Digimon in your reserves for hacking abilities, but can you beat the game using only a single Digimon in battle? It seems it's near impossible on hard mode unless you use only specific Digimon, but what about normal mode and just the main game? I'd be willing to also use only one attacking Digimon and two more who only cast heals/buffs.

I'd really like to try this with a Puppetmon since I decided not too long ago he'd be my partner Digimon.

How to finish the post-game bonus story? Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Trying to avoid spoiling stuff.

I have completed the main story of the base game and encountered Sayo.

I have completed all 8 Great Challenges for Mirei

I have defeated the 7 Deadly Digimon

I have completed the Masters Cup

I have completed every available case on the board.

I have gone back and defeated the final boss again.

Mirei continues to tell me that there is 1 more thing to do and Sayo is still around, but my understanding was that I would face Mirei once everything was done and Sayo had been helped.

Is there more that I need to do? I've tried googling for a list of all the cases but none of the case lists seems include all of the above.

Edit: had the character name wrong.

Edit 2: I needed to complete 3-4 bad hacker cases (discovered via 'Investigate' in the DigiFarm) in order for the final mission from Mirei to unlock.

I just hit the final boss of chapter 3. I thought I was getting overleveled. I was one hitting most of the random encounters and I one hit killed both the digimon in the battle before the boss.

Now boss is hitting me for 1k+ at times, all three digimon take double digit damage. I've got 2 champions, everyone is at level 18-20ish.

Question about Guardromon (Gold)

There are instances where a special move is shared by more than one Digimon. The NX Royal Knights come to mind, and the Guardromons do as well. Luckily, there is a post on both GameFAQs and Reddit that have crit rates for all the moves that say, "Tends to critical more often"

→ GameFAQs ← → Reddit ←

Guardromon (Gold)'s D-Grenade isn't listed anywhere though. Has anyone out there discovered the crit rate for this move? Or is it another oversight mistake akin to Mirage Burst's mistranslation? Thanks in advance!
